Lu Quan sent several children to the woods early in the morning, picked a clean and flat place, put down a reed mat, and placed Lu Xiaowu on it.

He then turned around, touched Lu Xiaosi's head, and carefully gave some instructions to the children.

"Xiao Si, just play here and don't run around."

"Xiaoyu, please watch out for your two younger brothers. Don't go into the water or go deep into the woods."

"Can Guan, Winter Solstice, Goudan, don't run around, let alone fight with Xiaosi Xiaoyu, wait until next time uncle goes to town to bring you maltose."

Several children also agreed one after another, and Li Canguan even slapped her weak little chest: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on them and won't let them run around."

"I see, you are the most naughty one." Lu Xiaoyu raised his chin slightly and tilted his head at Li Cancan, "As long as you don't run around with Winter Solstice Goudan, Xiaosi and I will definitely not run around.

."

Li Cancan opened his mouth to retort, but he didn't know what he thought of, but he held it back and just laughed: "You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I promise not to cause trouble this time. We'll see who runs around then."

Goudan raised his sleeve and wiped the snot from his nose, then nodded: "That's right, that's right, Xiaoyu, don't be so stubborn. Can Guan and I won't run around."

Dong Zhi didn't say anything, but he still stood in the row with Li Can Guan and Dong Zhi to express his position.

When Lu Quan walked away, Li Canguan immediately took the Winter Solstice Goudan and ran away: "Let's go to the forest to find bird eggs."

The hill covered with bushes is not high. There are not many serious trees, but there are many miscellaneous trees. And because it is close to the lake and there are shoals nearby, this forest is a paradise for birds.

Without walking into the woods, you can hear the flapping of the wings of many birds.

It's still autumn, and some migratory birds have already begun to migrate. If spring comes, there will be countless birds coming and going in and out of this small hill.

When Li Canguan said he was looking for bird eggs, Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaoyu didn't stop him.

There are no villages around Happy Ridge, the woods are not dense, and there are no wild animals. As long as they don't run too far, basically nothing will happen.

A child who grew up on a boat is like a wild child. He can go into the water and climb trees. Even Lu Sheige only lived at the wild dock for a few months. Now she can plunge into the water and swim several meters without raising her head.

Lu Xiaosi sat on the reed mat and patiently helped Lu Xiaowu make grasshoppers out of wild grass and rabbits out of dog's tail grass.

Although Lu Xiaowu is young, he is very obedient and well-behaved. As long as there is something for him to play with, he can sit there and play quietly for a long time.

He can still call someone when he needs to pee or when he wants to pee. He can already call someone simply, using two or three words, but his speech is not very clear yet.

Lu Xiaoyu sat for a while, then looked up at Ye Linzi not far away: "Xiao Si, why haven't Gu Guan and the others come back yet?"

"I guess I haven't found the eggs yet."

Lu Xiangge was not worried at all. They were sitting here talking, and they could still vaguely hear the movement in the forest. Sometimes it was the sound of Li Can Guan, and sometimes it was the sound of the winter solstice. Only Goudan didn't like to talk, and his voice was rarely heard.

movement.

Lu Xiaoyu couldn't sit still: "Should we go in and take a look? There are many birds here, maybe we can actually find bird eggs."

She also wanted to find bird eggs. Although her family had bought land and a house, and their life was much better than before, they still lacked eggs.

If you can find a few bird eggs, boil them and share them with everyone, or make a bowl of custard for Xiao Wu.

"It's autumn now, and many birds have to go south to spend the winter, so why don't they lay eggs?"

Lu Xiangge held a knitted little rabbit and dangled it over Lu Xiaowu's head. He looked at him raising his hand to grab it, and then immediately moved it to the side. The more this happened, the more excited Lu Xiaowu became. He got up with his butt stuck out and chased Lu Xiang.

The song goes around in circles.

Lu Xiaoyu asked in confusion: "Going to the south? Why does Xiaoniao want to go to the south?"

Lu Lige: "Because it is warm in the south, when the weather here gets cold, birds will leave here in droves to spend the winter in the south. Therefore, birds usually lay eggs in late spring or early summer, when the chicks are ready to eat.

Yes, the weather is warm. After summer, the weather gets colder and the chicks grow up, and then they can migrate to the south with the flock to spend the winter. When the winter here is over, the chicks will follow the flock to our place, and then

Build a nest, lay eggs, and reproduce."

These simple knowledge made Lu Xiaoyu fascinated.

Every winter, she would wonder if it was so cold that the fish would be cold in the water, and if the birds would hide in the grass or tree holes.

In fact, she is also cold, and she also wants to sink to the bottom of the water like a fish, or like a bird, find a tree hole that can accommodate her and crawl into it.

That's okay and it won't get cold.

Only now did she know.

It turns out that these little birds are no longer in the grass and tree holes, but have gone to the south where Xiaosi said it is very warm.

"What's it like in the south?" Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but be curious.

She has never been out of Jiangjiaba since she grew up. The furthest place she has been to is moving from Jiangjiaba to Happy Ridge.

I don’t know what the warm south that Xiaosi said is like. There is no winter there, it won’t snow, and it won’t make people freeze stiff because they don’t have winter clothes.

"The South..."

Lu Sheige raised his head slightly and looked at the blue sky.

The south she knew was a place that Lu Xiaoyu could never reach. It was prosperous, bustling with traffic, and high-rise buildings. Everything had gone through countless dynasties and slowly progressed to that point.

And she may never go back to that era of equality and democracy.

"Sometime, when we have money, I will take you to the south to see it. Go in winter, I heard that the winter in the south is not cold."

Lu Xiangge could not describe the south in her eyes like Lu Xiaoyu, so she could only make such a promise.

Lu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and snickered: "Like those little birds? Going to the south to spend the winter?"

Lu Xiangge nodded: "Yes, just like the birds, when they go south, we go too, and when they come back from the south, we come back."

"OK."

Like a little bird, isn't that the dream of every child?

Even Lu Xiaowu was holding a fluffy rabbit made of dogtail grass, drooling and imitating Lu Xiaoyu: "Okay!"

It made Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiangge couldn't help but laugh.

The three siblings played on the reed mat for a while, but Li Cancan and the other three did not come back.

Lu Sheige looked at the movement in the forest and guessed that they had entered the forest.

It seems that the three of them are in a good mood and will not be back soon.

Lu Sheige simply stood up, broke a tree stick and told Lu Xiaoyu: "I'll go in and take a look. Keep an eye on Xiao Wu. If someone comes, go into the woods and hide."

This side is very empty, and anyone coming from a distance can be noticed even if they are in the woods.

Lu Xiange was not worried at all about leaving Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaowu outside.
