The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it
Chapter 254: Smooth Descending the Mountain
Su Yu was a little surprised. Although he had seen chicks hatch from their shells before, he didn't know the specific process of hatching.
"Then what should we do?"
Su Yu seemed quite anxious and obviously didn't want to give up just like that.
Xie Xinghua pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "Duck eggs and chicken eggs look similar. We can go back to the village and ask which hen is hatching eggs. Maybe we can mix these duck eggs in and hatch them together. The hens shouldn't be able to tell them apart."
Su Yu thought about it and thought this was a good idea. "This is the only way."
She nodded in agreement.
So, the two of them each carried their heavy harvests and continued on the mountain road back home, their hearts full of expectations and hopes for the future.
Because we were delayed on the road, although it was still morning, the scorching sun was already standing proudly in the sky, burning the earth, and the air was filled with a heat wave that was hard to ignore.
Before long, sweat began to trickle down their backs like a stream, seeping through their clothes and leaving dark marks, as if it was a small testimony to their perseverance.
Xie Xinghua, a farm girl, often works in the fields, but she has not been on such a long and undulating mountain road for a long time. At this moment, she felt that her legs were as heavy as lead, and every uphill step seemed to squeeze out her last bit of strength.
Her breathing became rapid and heavy, as if she was fighting an invisible opponent. She couldn't help but ask, with a hint of fatigue in her voice: "Are you almost there?"
Su Yu, in comparison, seemed to be at ease, walking with a relaxed pace, and even had a leisurely smile on his face.
Along the way, she not only strolled leisurely, but also collected half a basket of attractively colored and plump mushrooms along the way.
Her eyes were sharp and she turned a disdainful eye on those fungi with the slightest flaws, as if she only wanted to dance with the perfect work of nature.
There were so many mushrooms that they were almost everywhere, as if they could never be picked up enough.
In between picking mushrooms, Su Yu did not forget to bend down and pick up a few sharp-edged stones. Her eyes were alert and she glanced around from time to time, as if looking for more possible opportunities.
Now that she was in the mountains, even if she failed to catch the wild ducks, she would try to bring one or two home from this natural treasure to add a surprise to the dining table.
Finally, Xie Xinghua's physical strength reached its limit. She sat down on the soft grass, took out the water bag that had been prepared long ago from the bamboo basket behind her, and swallowed the sweet water in big gulps, making a satisfied "gulp" sound.
"Oh, I really can't walk anymore. I need to rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, two dull "bang" sounds were heard, and then rapid and chaotic "click-click" sounds came from the grass not far away, as if some creature was moving hurriedly among the grass leaves.
The sudden noise made Xie Xinghua's already tense nerves suddenly tense. She was afraid that she had encountered a ferocious beast in the mountains. In fear, she jumped up reflexively and staggered towards Su Yu's direction, as if that was the safe haven.
Seeing this, Su Yu quickly stabilized Xie Xinghua, who was almost out of control, and said with an imperceptible calmness in his tone: "It's okay, come with me, let's go pick up some pheasants."
At this time, before Xie Xinghua could react, Su Yu led her to two pheasants that were unable to fly.
They seemed to be injured and struggled but couldn't fly.
It turned out that the heart-pounding noise just now came from these two pheasants.
Su Yu was so agile in hunting that Xie Xinghua didn't even notice his movements, she only saw the results - the recognition of Su Yu's ability was once again deeply engraved in her heart.
However, even more surprising things followed.
Su Yu moved his wrist slightly, and a few stones flew like arrows, accurately hitting a few rabbits in the distance.
Xie Xinghua was stunned, her mouth opened into a perfect "O" shape, full of disbelief.
With such good eyesight and such accuracy, why didn't she notice the existence of pheasants and hares before?
Su Yu's technique was simply amazing. Even Changping, which was famous for hunting, might not be able to achieve such efficiency.
She herself was quite surprised at her good luck today, and easily obtained a rich harvest of three hares and two pheasants.
However, her own basket was already filled with eggs and mushrooms, and obviously could not accommodate the newly captured prey; Xie Xinghua's basket needed to reserve space for the fruits that were about to be picked.
So, Su Yu had an idea. He used local materials and weaved wild grass into ropes. He tied up the small animals one by one and hung them in his hands.
She continued to walk forward, but inadvertently found that Xie Xinghua had not caught up, so she turned around and called out, "Sister-in-law, come quickly."
Xie Xinghua was stunned for a moment before she responded, "Oh, here I come."
Everything that happened today undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Xie Xinghua. She saw Su Yu's extraordinary decisiveness and competence.
Following Su Yu's footsteps again, they soon saw fruit trees full of fruits. The abundant fruits attracted many small animals to come and taste them, and the scene was lively and interesting.
Xie Xinghua was filled with joy and almost instinctively ran towards the nearest tree.
Her presence startled the little squirrels and birds on the treetops, and they flew away in all directions.
"These fruits are growing really well. It would be a shame if we let these little guys enjoy them at will."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb the tree.
This is a peach tree. Many ripe peaches are scattered around the tree, and many of those on the branches have been slightly disturbed by small animals.
As Xie Xinghua picked the flowers, he felt regretful and secretly regretted why he had not come earlier.
Su Yu also participated in the fruit picking activity, but she chose the fig tree.
Even though many of the fruits had peck marks from birds, she didn't seem to care. In her opinion, there were so many fruit trees in the mountains that they could not pick them all, so it was only right for them to leave some to nature.
Soon, Xie Xinghua's backpack was full. She gazed at the orchard, secretly wishing that she could take all the fruits away.
Su Yuze chuckled and said, "The sun is setting, we should go back. We can continue next time if we have the chance."
Although Xie Xinghua was reluctant to leave, she also knew that haste makes waste, so she had to temporarily put aside her regrets and set out on the journey home with Su Yu.
The two of them went down the mountain smoothly. Fortunately, they did not encounter any wild beasts along the way. In addition, with the full harvest, the tension and anxiety in Xie Xinghua's heart also faded a lot.
On the way home, although she was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders, the joy of the harvest greatly relieved her fatigue. Xie Xinghua's steps seemed exceptionally light, as if she was walking in the wind.
When you are thirsty, you can just take out a fresh and juicy fruit from the basket and taste it. The sweetness is so unforgettable.
