Chapter 48 Strange Stone
While picking wild duck eggs, Xia Qingyu also found a rather peculiar little stone with bright colors. At first glance, she thought she was seeing things.
Reaching out to pick it up, Xia Qingyu took a look at it and found that the stone was as long as her index finger, and looked very much like an oblong piece of premium pork belly.
Before the end of the world, Xia Qingyu also ate braised pork, which was exactly the same as pork belly.
The milky white and bright red lines are like many layers of fat with the skin and flesh separated, which reminds people of the delicious braised pork.
In addition to this meat-shaped stone, Xia Qingyu also discovered many other small stones with cute shapes. She also picked up some leaves with super beautiful colors.
There was even a stone that was heart-shaped, colorless and transparent, just like crystal, with water-like liquid inside. When she picked up the crystal stone, the liquid inside was still flowing.
She guessed that the liquid inside was probably formed in the same principle as amber, but she didn't know what its composition was.
Xia Qingyu planned to take it back. She didn't have the habit of collecting strange things before, but later she was influenced by Qiqi and developed this hobby.
"That little guy would definitely like it if he could see it."
She murmured softly, placing the pork belly rocks and crystal stones she had picked up, along with the colorful leaves, in a corner of the basket.
In order to avoid touching the duck eggs, Xia Qingyu specially picked up some dry yellow pine needles from the ground, and added some yellow leaves to separate the eggs in the basket from the small stones.
Lin Lan's emotional voice came to his ears, and Xia Qingyu's thoughts were brought back to reality, and he also felt that he agreed.
Lin Lan pulled Xia Qingyu, very happy, "We have picked up so many chicken and duck eggs. We can pick some cherries you mentioned before. We can sell them at the market tomorrow and exchange them for some silver."
"Well, we'll go pick them later and go back early in the evening." Xia Qingyu nodded.
The two of them each took a wooden stick, turned over the grass by the stream, and actually picked up fifty-six wild duck eggs.
The duck eggs are about the same size as the chicken eggs laid by Wangcai and his companions, and are not as big as the domestic duck eggs I have seen before.
The wild duck eggs packed in bamboo baskets have many shell colors, ranging from gray-green to pure white, and some spots on the surface.
Carrying the basket, Xia Qingyu returned to the forest path and saw Lin Lan counting eggs on her fingers.
Seeing the strange things in Xia Qingyu's basket, Lin Lan was a little curious and said to her: "The color of this stone is very strange. Qingyu, you picked up so many. You can put them..."
Just as she was about to give Xia Qingyu some advice, Lin Lan paused and smiled at her, "Qingyu, I was just about to tell you something, but as I was talking, I suddenly forgot what I was going to say. I can't remember anything."
When Lin Lan started talking, she even forgot the number she was counting.
She slapped her cheeks with both hands and said, "It's over. I'm such an idiot. I just counted to something and I forgot what it was."
When people are concentrating on doing something and are interrupted by others, or when they want to say something to others, their memory will suddenly disappear.
Xia Qingyu smiled and expressed her understanding, "Tell me when you remember it later."
Many people have had this experience: they remember it clearly one second ago and intend to share it with others, but the next second their mind goes blank and they have no impression of it at all.
Xia Qingyu watched Lin Lan squat down again and continue counting. She said softly, "There are fifty-six wild duck eggs, plus thirty-four chicken eggs, a total of ninety eggs."
"So many? You figured it out in one go, sister-in-law. That's amazing!" Lin Lan's eyes lit up and she spoke happily.
"Let's hide the eggs first, and then come back with the stuff we picked and take them back together."
As they were talking, the two men picked up two bamboo baskets containing chicken and duck eggs, and hid them in an inconspicuous place in a dense bush several steps away from the path.
When the villagers went up the mountain and found extra things, they would hide them where they were working and take them with them when they returned.
Not only does it save time, but it also reduces the amount of walking you have to do.
Moreover, when people go up the mountain, they usually collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, hunt, etc. They don't come to the mountain to cut the thatch that can be seen everywhere.
If they need to cut the thatch, they will do so nearby, especially in Shangxing Village, where there are large areas of thatch opposite the village.
To be on the safe side, Xia Qingyu also added a hidden power spell to the two baskets.
Otherwise, if something happens to the eggs and the basket, and they are all lost, you will feel heartbroken and regretful.
"Dabai, Xiaobai?" Xia Qingyu only saw a group of chickens including Wangcai, but did not see the two little guys, Xiaobai, so she called out once or twice.
【They went to other places to find food. 】
Erhei said something, and together with Wangcai, he raised his wings towards Xia Qingyu and pointed in a direction.
Once they enter the mountains, Xiaobai and Dabai usually go out to find food on their own, and sometimes they even provide some food for the family.
Bringing the prey back and improving their food is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Knowing that Wangcai and the other chickens are spirits, Xia Qingyu is not afraid that they will get lost. Besides, almost everyone in the village knows that these chickens belong to the Li family. Even if they come up the mountain to hunt, they probably won't attack Wangcai and the other chickens.
Originally, she also wanted to attach a few supernatural contracts to Wangcai Black Bean and the others, but she had not yet felt any fluctuations in supernatural aura from them, so she gave up considering it for the time being.
Without special powers, even if Wangcai is given a few little ones, they cannot be activated.
After instructing Wangcai to take his sisters back early in the evening, Xia Qingyu and Lin Lan put on their backpacks and went to pick cherries.
Xia Qingyu glanced in the direction that Wangcai and the others pointed, and asked Lin Lan beside her, "Sixth sister-in-law, do you remember how to get to the place where we picked cherries before?"
I don’t know where Dabai and Xiaobai are hunting, and whether they will encounter the two little guys.
There are many living creatures on the mountain, even some like the caracal, which have some supernatural powers. Xia Qingyu was a little worried that Xiaobai and the others would get into trouble.
Hearing this, Lin Lan nodded, "I know, I know. I used to go up the mountain with my brother and others often. I am very familiar with that road."
"Okay, let's go pick cherries first. If we can find other mountain products, we can pick them together."
Xia Qingyu remembered that there were several cherry trees where they dug potatoes. They picked some at that time, and there were still many wild cherries left on them.
Moreover, that place was very remote, with a cliff on the side. Xia Qingyu and his friends had to go through many thorn bushes before they found it by accident.
Xia Qingyu planned to pick some when the time comes and take them to the town to sell tomorrow. Some wealthy families who like fruits would buy some to try.
Especially for towns where fruits are scarce and not very abundant, many fruits are usually transported from farther away.
Occasionally, some villagers would accidentally pick some fruits from the mountains and sell them for silver.
However, people who go up the mountain don't dare to touch many things. They are told by their ancestors based on their experience that the brighter the color of something, the more poisonous it is.
Before the end of the world, in Xia Qingyu's world, there were many kinds of fruits, vegetables and other food, and they were delicious, and they were all discovered and recorded by many predecessors.
She has discovered that there are many plants in the mountains and forests here, all of which she has seen in her previous life.
On the way, Xia Qingyu turned a corner on a hillside and while looking at the scenery in the distance, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of many familiar leaves.
She turned her head back instantly, her eyes fixed on the leaves.
“Could it be a pepper tree?”
Xia Qingyu said something to Lin Lan, who was leading the way, and asked her to wait for a moment.
Then he put down the bamboo basket, chose a place where the bushes and thorns were sparse, held a long wooden stick in one hand to separate the thorny branches, and grabbed the grass on the slope with the other hand and slid down the slope.
Xia Qingyu had just slid down the slope, and before she let go of the straw in her hand, she heard Lin Lan screaming.
"Ahhh! Mom! Help!"
