As the saying goes, it’s better to pick bamboo shoots early.

After Xu Wenyan gave instructions to Xiaohua and Rongrong, he packed his things and went out. Today was bound to be a big day.

The five people gathered and began to move towards the mountains.

"It's been several years since I last went into the mountains." Zhou Jianye sighed with a smile as he looked at the trees in the mountains. The backpack behind him was also not small. It seemed that he was going to get more today.

"Uncle, you have to be careful. The mountain road is not easy to walk on now." Xiaohu reminded as he walked at the back.

The bamboo grows very fast. Xu Wenyan estimates that there are more than three acres of bamboo forest in this mountain. It looks like a lot.

If it rains a little in two days, the bamboo shoots will mature in less than one night. Picking bamboo shoots is a race against time.

Today's bamboo shoots are better than yesterday's in both quantity and quality. It will take at least ten days to pick them all.

Looks like I have to invite my aunt along tomorrow.

"Cuckoo, cluck."

There are already many birds in this season. It is really pleasant to pick bamboo shoots and listen to the accompaniment of birds.

Bend down, pick bamboo shoots and put them into the basket, all in one go.

After Xu Wenyan completed the task in his backpack, he walked down the mountain. He wanted to see if the crabs in the creek had come out yet.

After saying hello to Chen Sanlin, Rong Xiaoliu insisted on going with him because he was worried about his safety.

Xu Wenyan was also warmed by this little kid, but only a little bit.

But Xu Wenyan knew there was no hope before he even went down. The riverbed in spring was more than one meter higher than in autumn, and the crabs probably didn't want to come out now.

Just have to wait until summer.

After picking the first batch today, several people packed up and went home, with joy of a good harvest on their faces.

Pushing open the door to the yard, Xu Wenyan could see the neatly arranged bamboo shoots.

"Wow, these guys in our family are so capable." Xu Wenyan smiled at the three little kids who were still busy.

"Little uncle."

Children need to be praised. Only when they are praised for doing well will they work harder. This is the experience of Xu Wenyan, a veteran.

Of course, except for a rebellious son like him.

After a simple lunch of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, Xu Wenyan took a nap. In the afternoon, he took Wang Cuijuan with him, and the six of them went up the mountain together.

By this time, many villagers had discovered their secret. Some of them even went to the mountains to take a look. They found that the bamboo forest closest to the village was the golden bamboo forest. Although there were a few bamboo shoots, it was still too early for them to mature.

I can only come back in disgrace.

They clearly saw that the Chen family members were all carrying small bamboo shoots.

It’s a kind of envy to see others eating bamboo shoots when they can’t.

It is precisely because of this envy that trouble arises.

......

The sun had just begun to rise when Chen Sanlin heard someone shouting outside the courtyard gate.

Looking at Xu Wenyan who was sleeping soundly beside him, Chen Sanlin carefully put on his clothes and went out to open the gate.

"Third uncle? What's wrong?"

Zhou Jianye looked very bad, with a few beads of sweat slowly dripping down his forehead.

"Go and check your land quickly." At this time, Zhou Jianye didn't know what to say. If something like this happened in his own family, he would probably be worried to death.

Without even bothering to put on his coat, Chen Sanlin followed his uncle to the fields wearing only his undershirt.

At the side of the fence, the eldest wife of the Zhou family also came. When Chen Sanlin got closer, he saw the miserable situation in his own field. All the seedlings planted in the field had been pulled out and were now lying wilted on the ground.

It looks like they pulled it out at night.

Doing such a thing in the countryside is extremely vicious. Everyone knows that crops are everything to farmers.

Chen Sanlin frowned and was angry. This made Xu Wenyan realize what to do. All the hard work the family had put into cultivating the land was now in vain.

After much thought, he decided to let Zhou Jianye call Xu Wenyan. He was the one who made the decisions in the family and he didn't know what to do. The worst that could happen was that he could work hard at hunting to support his family.

Xu Wenyan had already heard the general idea when he came here. He was already a little grumpy after waking up, and now he was even more annoyed. Chen Sanlin looked at his expression and wanted to call him several times but held back.

Xu Wenyan walked around the fence. Although he was angry, he knew he couldn't panic now. As long as he found clues at the scene, there was still a chance to save the situation.

Judging from the surrounding environment, the person pulling vegetables did not come in through the fence gate. The figure-eight knot tied by Xu Wenyan on the gate was still there. This knot is easy to tie and is strong.

I guess the thief gave up after trying several times to open it.

Everyone was watching him walking around the fence and no one knew what Xu Wenyan was trying to do. Shouldn't he open the fence gate and save those seedlings that could still be saved?

Could it be that he became crazy because his crops were destroyed?

Just when the people around were puzzled, Xu Wenyan had already found a trace on the bamboo strips of the bamboo fence, which was also where the thief climbed in.

It was a piece of dark blue linen. Although only a small strip was torn off, it was enough to serve as evidence.

"Brother Chen, go and get the village chief." Xu Wenyan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he wanted to take revenge, he must do it in public.
