"Look." Shen Wu picked up a chestnut that had fallen on the ground and broke it open to show Gu Zhou.

"Someone in the village tried it before, but the thorns on the outside were too sharp and the stuff inside was too hard to open. No one touched it since then." Gu Zhou looked at the thorny ball as if he was lost in memories of the past.

Shen Wu quickly picked out the chestnuts inside and threw away the shells.

It's so prickly. Even though the chestnuts are ripe and burst, it's still extremely painful to break them with your hands.

"How do you eat this?" Gu Zhou asked puzzledly, looking at the chestnuts in her hand.

Shen Wu thought of a dish: "Chestnut stewed chicken!"

"Ah?!" Gu Zhou was confused. This... thing is so hard that it has to be eaten with a chicken?

Shen Wu nodded: "Let's remember the location first and pick it up when we come back, otherwise we will be exhausted carrying it."

"Okay, let's continue walking inside?"

"it is good!"

Shen Wu followed Gu Zhou deeper into the forest, and finally saw the light: "What is this? What a high mountain!"

Looking at the mountain in front of him that was so high that it almost reached the clouds, Shen Wu exclaimed: "This is too high!"

Gu Zhou didn't think it was that high, perhaps because he was used to it after living here for many years.

"We can't climb this mountain, but we can walk around the foot of the mountain."

"Of course!" Shen Wu echoed.

She didn't want to climb. The ancient mountains were not like the ones she wanted to climb in modern times, which were all built with man-made steps. Besides, if she didn't want to climb a mountain in modern times, she could take a cable car! How much easier.

"If you want to eat chickens, they're not easy to catch. I'll try my best. Chickens usually become slower in late autumn, but pheasants are smart and hard to catch." Gu Zhou said as he picked up a dead branch and pushed away the weeds.

"Ah? Why is it so slow?" Shen Wu watched him cutting the grass, thinking that he really needed to be careful of snakes and the like, and began to swing the hoe as well.

As Gu Zhou walked, he paid attention to his feet and the distance: "In autumn, when everything is ripe, pheasants will come out to look for food. Their meat is the most delicious at this time, but because they are usually too clever to catch, we usually see more of them in autumn."

When he said this, Shen Wu was puzzled. He was not excited to see the wild fruit. He turned around and asked, "Then why did we catch it several times?"

Gu Zhou squatted down and looked at the soil where the chickens had pecked: "Those chickens are from the outskirts of the forest. They appeared in pairs at that time. You were lucky to surround them with clothes."

Shen Wu stared in a daze at what looked like wild grapes under his hand.

This… is wild grape? What kind of land is this? There is all this!

Shen Wu stared at the grapes on the ground that had been pecked by birds. The next second, he reached out and grabbed one, rubbed it on his body, and put it in his mouth.

Well, it won’t make you sick if you eat something unclean!

Although this wild grape is small, it is very delicious. It is a little sweet, but mostly sour.

"Why are you eating nonsense!" Gu Zhou stood up and saw her chewing something happily, so he ran over and asked her to spit it out.

Shen Wu pulled away the hand that was holding his chin and swallowed the grapes, pointing to the wild grapes half-hidden in the bushes in front of him: "It's okay, what I eat are wild grapes."

Gu Zhou was anxious, and his voice rose several octaves, as he could see that he had already died: "Aren't you afraid of poison? Why are you eating random things?"

Shen Wu was frightened by his sudden fierce tone and shrank his neck. He pointed at the pecked grapes on the ground and said, "Isn't this a sign that they have been eaten? Besides, I have eaten them before, but this one is too sour and not sweet."

"Even if there are things that birds have eaten, don't eat them. What if they are poisonous?" Gu Zhou looked at her worriedly, fearing that she would die at any time after eating that half-green and half-purple thing.

"I'm sorry..." Shen Wu lowered his head to apologize. He really didn't expect that little Gu would be so excited.

After eating it, I thought about it and wondered if it was different from the wild grapes we have today? What if it was poisonous?

"Don't eat randomly in the future! If you feel unwell, you must tell me!" Gu Zhou's sudden words made Shen Wu dare not look at him. She lowered her head and pulled his sleeve.

"Good child?! Good child! Sister will never do this again! I swear!" Shen Wu's method was really effective. Gu Zhou was no longer fierce, and his expression looked much better. He turned around and asked her to follow him.

Shen Wu followed silently. The child was probably in puberty, so she should stop talking so much, lest he get even angrier.

Gu Zhou followed the footprints he found, always paying attention to make sure the people behind him didn't run around, and gradually found a chicken coop!

Shen Wu followed behind him and exclaimed in a low voice: "Wow! A chicken coop! Wild!".

Gu Zhou lowered his body. Fortunately, the grass around him was still green, so they walked over without making much noise: "Let's rush over and cover the hole, and catch this chicken in the jar."

Shen Wu nodded vigorously and replied softly, "Okay!"

For some reason, the chicken was nestling in the grass nest and nodding its head like a chick pecking at rice. Although it was awakened by the sound when the two men approached, it did not move much. After checking that there was no one around, it closed its eyes again.

They both carried backpacks on their backs. The chicken hole was not big, so they just put the hoe on their backs and pointed the backpacks at the hole.

Shen Wu stood up quietly and went around the blind spot at the edge of the cave.

Gu Zhou walked in front, he walked slowly, and then took off the backpack on his back.

Shen Wu watched his actions from behind and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

You have a pretty good brain!

When they reached the entrance of the cave, the pheasant inside seemed to feel threatened and stood up from the grass with a few clucking sounds.

Gu Zhou took off the backpack bag on his left side, and as usual, he pulled the strap with his right hand and fastened the backpack on the hole in less than a second.

The chicken may have sensed something was wrong and kept trying to crash out.

How could the two of them let go of what they had already got? You held the basket while I took off my clothes, waiting for the chicken to rush into the cage.

For some reason, the chicken seemed a little irritable. After clucking a few times and running around, it jumped into the basket. Because Gu Zhou raised the mouth of the basket in time and Shen Wu covered it with clothes, the pheasant was locked tightly in the backpack.

"Wait a moment while I tie it tight!" Shen Wu tied the sleeves of his shirt around the basket, then stuffed the loose parts into the loose part of the bamboo basket.

"Okay! Find a stone to press it down a little so it can't come out." Just as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Zhou take out a hemp rope from his arms.

"Where did you get this from?" She was shocked. This thing couldn't be seen at all when it was stuffed in!

Gu Zhou wrapped the rope around it and tied it tightly: "I'm sorry to bother you with your clothes. This rope is a prepared one for me. I've been keeping it in my arms in case it needs any use."

Shen Wu patted his shoulder with emotion: "Good boy!".

Gu Zhou picked up the backpack and said, "The grass here is very tall. We have caught this today. How about we go back?"

"Wait a moment!" Shen Wu quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. Thinking of what had just happened, he pointed to a nearly dead vine in the distance and said, "I saw something good. Wait for me to take a look with a hoe and I'll be back soon!"

Seeing her like this, Gu Zhou knew that she had found something edible again, so he took off the backpack and put it away: "I'll go with you."
