The two siblings reached the halfway point of the hillside together. Su Xiaolong pointed to a thorn bush not far from the roadside and said to Su Xue, "That one over there is the thorn vine. I'll go over and dig some out."
"wait for me here."
"Well, okay, you can go over there and I'll take a look around."
This is Su Xue's first time going up the mountain, so she is quite curious about the mountains and forests.
"Don't wander around." Su Xiaolong warned worriedly.
At a young age, he is more like Su Xue's older brother.
Su Xue smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moon shapes, "Okay, I understand, little master, I'm right here, I'll make sure you're within a distance of being able to hear me when you shout, okay?"
"Well, you bring the knife, and I'll take the hoe."
Su Xiaolong often walked in the mountains and knew that the terrain in this area was gentle and there were no cliffs or steep hills. No one had ever heard of snakes being seen nearby, so it was relatively safe.
It's not impossible for her to go and have a look.
Su Xiaolong agreed to Su Xue’s request to walk around.
Su Xue looked at Su Xiaolong’s serious expression and really felt that he was her brother.
She smiled and pointed at the knife in Su Xiaolong's hand, and asked him to chop a stick for her to use to explore the way. She really didn't need to give her the knife, and even if she gave it to her, there wouldn't be a stick to use.
Su Xiaolong glanced at Su Xue and felt that the knife was of little use in her hand, and she might accidentally hurt herself.
He saw a tree the size of an egg on the side, picked up the hatchet in his hand and chopped it down, then cut the branches clean and handed them to Su Xue, "Remember not to go too far."
"Know it."
Su Xue waved her hand and walked toward the woods on one side with the stick. Su Xiaolong also picked up the backpack and hoe and hatchet, and walked in the direction of the thorny vines on the other side that he had spotted.
Su Xiaolong was well versed in everything and moved very quickly.
Although Su Xue was very curious, she was also very careful. Every time she set foot, she would hit the grass with a stick in advance to make sure there was no snake hidden before walking over.
The side of the mountain they came up on was sunny, with plenty of sunshine, but the trees were also very tall. Su Xue walked among the tall woods, mainly wanting to find some wild vegetables she knew and take home.
But obviously, the mountains are not the place to pick wild vegetables. The only place that is really suitable for growing wild vegetables is in the fields and by the rivers and ditches.
But thinking of the black snake she saw when she came up the mountain, Su Xue had no desire to challenge a snake for a bite of wild vegetables.
She walked for a while, but after finding nothing, she was ready to go back to find Su Xiaolong.
Because there were signs along the way when she came here, Su Xue didn’t have to worry about getting lost. She walked back a few steps, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a dark spot among the vegetation that was illuminated by the sun.
Small red fruits? Or flowers?
Su Xue wasn't sure.
But she decided to go and have a look.
Taking the stick in her hand, she knocked on the dense weeds in front of her to make sure that even if there were snakes, she would be frightened away. Then she slowly approached the large bush of vegetation.
After getting closer and seeing the other party's true appearance, Su Xue chuckled softly, "I didn't expect it to be a June bubble. I'm so lucky to encounter such a big bush."
The June bush in front of us had a lot of fruits. Perhaps because no one had ever picked them, a thick layer of overripe and blackened fruits fell under the tree. They fell to the bottom of the bush.
Mixed in with those weeds.
"Oh...what a pity."
Su Xue felt very sorry for these June Bubbles that fell on the ground. This kind of stuff was very sweet. When she was a child, she went back to her grandfather's house in the village with her eldest and second brothers and had the honor to eat it.
Nowadays, June has so many activities, but she is no longer the biological sister of the eldest brother and the second brother...
Su Xue felt a little depressed.
But she was very good at comforting herself, and warned herself in her heart that although she was no longer the biological sister of her eldest brother and her second brother, the relationship between them would not change. As long as her eldest and second brother did not dislike her, they would always be her brothers.
Su Xue's mood improved after she figured it out. She smiled sweetly and put the troubles behind her.
The first priority is to eat this sweet June Bubble!
She couldn't wait to reach out her hand, and when she was about to touch the ripe black bubbles, her movements slowed down again.
She gently pinched a small fruit with her slender thumbs, picked it off the branch, put it to her lips and blew away the dust on it, and then put it in her mouth.
“So sweet!”
The sweetness in the mouth is fragrant, which immediately awakens Su Xue's taste buds.
She looked around, picked off a large oval leaf and rolled it into a simple hat shape, and then carefully and quickly picked some June bubbles from the thorny bushes.
This June-soaked tree is a very big one, with countless dense thorny vines, intertwined and growing upwards and on both sides. Su Xue finished plucking the branches on one side, then bent down to plucking at the bottom of the tree.
That circle.
The June bubbles in the shady place under the tree are not as dense as those on the branches, but the fruits are larger than those on the branches. The ring of fruits above the head is densely packed, and the size of the fruits is the tip of Su Xue's little finger.
size.
But the circle at the bottom is almost the same as the tip of her ring finger.
Each one is pitch black and very pleasing to look at.
Su Xue swallowed her saliva and carefully picked them off one by one.
On the other side, two large handfuls of June bubbles, which she held with leaves, were already placed, weighing about three or four kilograms.
"Today is really a fruitful harvest." Su Xue squatted under the tree and whispered to herself. Seeing that the leaves in her hands were almost no longer enough, she crawled out from underneath and prepared to change another leaf to continue.
Just then, a loud voice stopped her.
"Who are you? Why do you come here to steal my things?"
Su Xue blinked. At first she thought it was some kind of forest spirit.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a lesbian wearing a floral shirt, black polyester pants, and two shiny big braids, glaring at her menacingly.
The mountain they came to is a hillside behind Hongqi Village, which is far away from other villages. Therefore, the only people who will appear here are people from Hongqi Village.
Su Xue had never seen the girl in front of her with a happy face and two red spots on her face.
However, seeing the way the other person was glaring at her, Su Xue touched the tip of her nose, feeling guilty and thinking that the other party had spotted the bush first, and she had taken advantage of it later.
So she said with a very good temper, "You have been here before, did you deliberately wait for it to mature before coming here?"
She said and looked around, but she didn't see anyone leaving marks on the bushes where June was soaking. So she really couldn't figure it out. The figure in front of her was almost as big as her two.
Sun Lihong snorted loudly and said, "My sister said that everything on the mountain belongs to me. The June bubbles you just picked are also mine. If you picked them without my consent, you are a thief."
"I'm going to tell Brother Dong and let him beat you!"
Su Xue was confused and confused.
Just at this time, Su Xiaolong, who had already dug up the thorn vines and found two handfuls of wild vegetables, came over after hearing the sound. He saw Sun Lihong standing there with her waist in her arms, and immediately nervously looked for Su Xue.
After discovering that Su Xue was fine, Su Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.
"Sun Lihong, are you a fool to believe Sun Xiuxiu's words?"
