Chapter 27: Digging a Lot of Bamboo Shoots

Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain where Liu Xiaoxiao had picked wild vegetables last time.

Seeing this place again, Liu Xiaoxiao was still a little scared, so she asked, "Brother, are we going to this mountain to dig bamboo shoots this time?"

"Yes, there is a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. No one takes care of it. Let's go there and dig a lot of bamboo shoots." After saying that, Liu Kun started to walk up and began to climb the mountain.

"I don't know if anyone has dug it this year," Liu Gang followed his elder brother and walked up.

Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Xiaoxiao quickly took a few quick steps to catch up with the main group.

After walking for about 15 minutes, Liu Xiaoxiao finally saw a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest looked quite large, and some people had arrived earlier than them and were already digging.

"Let's go to the back and start digging," the eldest brother turned around and said to us, then walked around the villagers who were digging bamboo shoots and went to a place a little further inside.

"Wow! There are so many good bamboo shoots here. We can dig a lot to take back today," Liu Xiaoxiao said excitedly as she was about to pick them with her hands.

"This is nothing, and it has all been dug up. What you see now should have grown recently," Liu Gang, the second brother, explained to Liu Xiaoxiao, pointing to the occasional small pits on the ground, and then pulled up her hand that was trying hard to break off the bamboo shoots.

"If you try to break it with your hands like this, it will break, and there will be a large section underneath in the soil. We need to use a hoe to dig it out, so that the bamboo shoots we dig out will be complete." As he said this, he asked Liu Xiaoxiao to move aside, and he swung the hoe and started digging a few times around the roots of the bamboo shoots.

He quickly dug out the bamboo shoot and saw that there was indeed a large section of white and tender bamboo shoot flesh underneath. It was obvious that it had been buried in the soil and had not been destroyed by wind and sun.

"It's really big. Brother, you keep digging and I'll help you pick it up." As she said that, she picked up the bamboo shoots she had just dug and put them into her backpack.

"Second sister, are you planning to take it back like this?"

"Do you see these tender shells on this bamboo shoot? We need to peel off the extra shells so that it will be easier to carry and we can carry more back!" Liu Wenxuan obviously does this often and he can explain it very clearly.

"Then peel one for me to see." Liu Xiaoxiao was not pretentious. If she didn't know how, she would just learn. What was the big deal?

Liu Wenxuan moved quickly and peeled one in just a few seconds before putting it into the backpack.

It was Liu Xiaoxiao's turn. She brought a bamboo shoot that her second brother had just dug, and imitating Liu Wenxuan's movements, she also successfully peeled the shell. She said with emotion: "Isn't this difficult? Although I can't peel it as fast as him, at least I can do it!"

In this way, Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Wenxuan followed their second brother Liu Gang, one digging and the other taking turns picking up and peeling.

Before they knew it, they had dug to the edge of the bamboo forest. It was a bit remote and there was a small ditch next to it. Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but want to wash his hands and take a rest.

"Brother, we have dug so much, let's take a break!" She saw that her brother was still bending over and digging, and was sweating from exhaustion.

Liu Gang turned around and saw that their backpacks were indeed almost full. "Okay, go wash your hands first, then take a rest."

After saying that, he put away the hoe, peeled the last bamboo shoot and put it in the backpack, then went to the stream over there with his younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands.

"Third brother, do you think there are any crabs in this ditch?" Liu Xiaoxiao, who had just washed his hands, became playful again and asked Liu Wenxuan when he saw the stone next to him.

"I don't know, you'll know when you move it away." He did what he said.

But there are so many good things. You can get crabs just by wanting them! Liu Wenxuan moved a few stones but didn't even see the shadow of a crab. He immediately became discouraged.

"I'm not moving anymore. There's not even a crab leg here."
