Xue Luo was the most excited and enthusiastic. She pulled Qing Ning's hand enthusiastically, "Sister Qing Ning, are the crayfish delicious? What else is there in the stream? Do you guys do this often?"

Qing Ning was very excited when she heard her ask that. Although she was not young, she was a playful person. The two of them huddled together, heads touching, and Qing Ning's story was very vivid.

Xue Luo would occasionally exclaim in amazement, wishing she could drag Qing Ning along to do all these things right away. The people following behind looked at the two little ones helplessly. Fortunately, the two of them weren't often together, otherwise they would definitely be the little bullies of the village!

"You two should be careful. The weather is warm now and the vegetation along the stream has grown much more lush. Be careful of snakes and insects." Chen Qingsong followed behind and reminded them.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qing Ning pulling Xue Luo to stop, and Xue Luo was a little confused.

Qing Ning pulled her back and when they reached Chen Qingsong, she nudged him and said, "That's right, big brother. So, you lead the way, and we'll follow behind you."

Chen Qingsong's expression cracked after hearing this. These were words spoken by his own sister. Chen Qingsong looked at Qingning with twitching eyes. He rolled his eyes at her speechlessly and had no choice but to accept his fate and walk ahead. After all, she was his own sister.

The others couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, they felt inexplicably sympathetic. Why?

The stream in the back village was not far away, and they arrived there in about an incense stick's time.

"No wonder they say that lush vegetation is home to snakes and insects. The grass is almost half a person's height. I definitely can't walk here alone. I'm afraid I'll be scared to death." Xue Luo was also shocked when she saw this scene.

Chen Qingsong, fearing they might be frightened, spoke to them soothingly, "Actually, it's not everywhere along the stream; it's just that the vegetation is more abundant here. We chose this path as a shortcut, and I didn't expect to scare you. Let's go fifty feet east along the path. There's open space there with a better view."

After saying that, he led them eastward, and soon they saw a flat place with a wide view and beautiful scenery!

Qing Ning had already pulled Xue Luo to run to the stream. Qi Qiao, who was following them, saw that the girl had completely let herself go and it was not possible to persuade her, so she had to follow behind and keep a closer eye on her.

"Sister Xiang, brothers and sisters, come here quickly. The stream is a little shallow today. I have seen a lot of fish and stone crabs." Qing Ning looked happy and quickly called out to the people behind her.

Hearing her call, several people hurried over, stood by the stream, and stretched their necks to look into the water.

"Miss Xue and my elder sister, you just need to wait for me on the shore. The water in the stream is cold, so don't go into the water." Qingwu was thoughtful and took care of the two of them.

The two of them knew it was for their own good and nodded in agreement.

"Miss Xue, let's go pick some broad leaves, strong grass, and willow branches and weave a small basket so that we can put the things they catch later." Qingke suggested.

Xue Mingxiang was curious about everything now, so he readily agreed to Qingke's suggestion and took his maid with him.

"Oh, my girl, the water in the stream is cold, you must not go in, otherwise you will catch a cold and suffer." Qi Qiao was so scared when she saw Xue Luo going into the water that she tried to stop her by pulling her.

Xue Luo was a little unhappy about being stopped. She looked at Qi Qiao with a pout and replied, "I'm not that delicate. It's just a dip, nothing will happen."

As he said this, he tried to break free from Qiqiao's hand, but Qiqiao was too strong and wouldn't let go.

Xue Luo could only act coquettishly towards Qi Qiao, "My dear Qi Qiao, Sister Qiao, please let me go and play for a while, just for a while, okay?"

Qi Qiao was unmoved. She usually played at home and had hot water and ginger tea prepared in advance. How could she dare to let the girl do anything wrong in the wild?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qiqiao, Xue Luo felt a little disappointed. He snorted unhappily and turned his head away without looking at Qiqiao.

Qingzhu and Qingning didn't go into the water either. Their brothers wouldn't let them, and Qingning was a little resentful. What was the point of just watching them play?

"Second sister, Sister Luo, Sister Qiqiao, let's walk along the stream. There are many good things here."

Xue Luo perked up reluctantly upon hearing this and followed Qing Ning angrily. Qi Qiao also had no choice but to follow behind with Qing Zhu.

Qing Ning bent down, searching inch by inch for something good. When she saw a snail as big as a rock, she picked it up and showed it to Xue Luo: "Sister Luo, look, these snails are fried and delicious."

Xue Luo had never seen it since she was a child and was very curious. When Qing Ning said it was delicious, she stared at it carefully again and again.

"Is this really delicious, Sister Qingling?"

“Well, it’s delicious, but it only tastes good if you know how to cook it.”

Xue Luo then took Qi Qiao with her and went along the stream to look for snails. The four of them picked up any rare snails they found, and caught any edible ones, feeling quite content and happy.

The four Qingsong brothers took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their sleeves and pants, and went straight into the water.

As soon as they touched the water, the four of them couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "The water is really cold, it makes my mind clearer." Qingyu said and shivered again.

"Brother Yu is right. Thanks to the physical training I've done with Uncle Qi these days, I wouldn't be able to bear it. This water is much colder than the river in front of the village." Qingbai entered the water and adjusted himself for a while before starting to move.

Qingsong calmed himself down and said to his three brothers with concern, "Be careful. The rocks in this stream are very slippery and sharp. Be careful not to get hurt."

"I understand, big brother. We will be careful." Several people nodded in response.

Qingke, Xue Mingxiang, and her maid Yunyan picked a lot of willows, and then the three of them found a big rock to sit on by the stream. Qingke taught them how to weave willow baskets. The two were also very clever and skillful, and after learning from Qingke for a while, they gradually got the hang of it.

"Miss Xue has such a skillful hand. This basket is so beautifully woven." Qingke couldn't help but praise the beautiful basket in Xue Mingxiang's hand when he saw it was woven beautifully.

Xue Mingxiang was delighted to receive the praise. He looked around and then looked at Qingke and said, "This is my first time weaving something like this. I think it looks good too, but it's not as good as yours."

Qing Ke smiled and said, "I just get better with practice. It's rare that you can weave it so quickly and well the first time."

"Miss Qingke, please take a look at this basket I made. I feel the hole is a little too big." Yunyan said as she handed the basket to Qingke.

Qing Ke took a look and said, "Miss Yunyan, you should tighten your hands when you weave. It really is beautiful when you are skillful."

"Let's go and see if they have found any treasures?" He stood up and led people to the stream, reminding Xue Mingxiang and his servant to watch their step as they walked.
