Four people walked eastward along the bamboo forest, each holding a wooden stick as tall as a person, knocking as they walked.

This can scare away snakes, insects, rats and ants, so as to avoid encountering poisonous creatures.

Along the way, Qingning picked some tender bamboo shoots and planned to go back and peel them by hand or pickle them.

The four of them unknowingly reached the foot of the mountain, and the view in front of them suddenly became a little wider.

Qing Ning wanted to go forward, but Qing Wu hurriedly stopped her.

"Okay, don't go any further. It's a bit deep if we go any further. Let's go back."

Qing Ning felt a little reluctant, but she also knew that Qing Wu was telling the truth, so she wanted to turn around and go back.

Suddenly his nose moved, and he took a few steps forward uncertainly and sniffed carefully.

Qingyu held her back: "Why are you still going forward?"

Qing Ning stopped and looked up to scan the surroundings carefully.

When the three of them saw Qing Ning standing like this, they were a little curious and looked at her suspiciously.

"Hey, I told you I wasn't mistaken, and it turns out to be true." The three were startled by Qingning's sudden voice.

I saw Qingning running quickly in one direction and climbing up using his hands and feet.

The three of them were confused for a moment and followed her closely.

When the three of them caught up with Qingning, Qingning was standing under a tree.

"Little sister, is there anything special about this tree?" Qingyu was also looking at the tree, but he couldn't see anything.

Qingzhu reached out and picked a tender leaf, put it to his nose and smelled it. The fresh fragrance made him feel refreshed.

"What kind of tree is this?" The three of them were very curious.

Qing Ning chuckled and said to them, "This is a tea tree. I'm not sure what kind it is."

"Tea tree?" the three of them said in unison.

"Yeah," Qing Ning nodded in response.

Then I picked a young bud and put it in my mouth, chewing it carefully. The taste was refreshing and delicate, mellow and fresh, with a slight sweet aftertaste.

"Brothers and sisters, let's pick some young buds and go back. Then we can go out and ask if anyone knows about this tea."

Qing Ning now adheres to the principle of taking back all the good things he encounters.

The three of them now completely obey Qingning. They also know about tea, which is loved by rich people.

"Little sister, you take a rest. My second brother and I will pick them." Qingyu and Qingwu said without delay.

Qingning didn't want to be idle, so she climbed up the tree trunk since she was small.

The three men did not stop her. Country children have been climbing hills and trees since they were young. They just asked her to be careful.

Qingning stood on the tea tree, looking at the big tea tree, and sighed in his heart that this tea tree was really big and must be quite old.

I picked another young lemon bud and put it in my mouth to chew. A fresh fragrance filled my mouth with a hint of sweetness, which made me feel much more comfortable both physically and mentally.

"Second brother, fourth brother, second sister, be careful when you pick them. Just pick the tender buds on top. That's it." Qing Ning said as she held up the tender buds to show them.

The three of them said they understood and started picking together.

Each of them picked a large bunch and wrapped the tea leaves in a handkerchief. Seeing that it was getting late, the four of them stopped and went home.

It looked like it was almost noon (around 11 to 12 o'clock). If I didn't go back home now, I was afraid they would look for me, and they would definitely blame me.

The four of them found the place where they had stored their things along the way they had come, picked up the firewood and carried the basket and walked back.

They were walking carefully on the road when suddenly a pheasant jumped out from the bushes, scaring them.

This chicken was also unlucky. Before it ran far, it seemed to be entangled by something and just flapped its wings around.

The four brothers and sisters had not yet recovered from their shock when they saw that the chicken could no longer run.

The four of them looked at each other, and without caring about anything else, they threw the things on their shoulders and rushed forward.

One person grabbed the head, one twisted the wings, and one pinched the feet. The lemon man was a step late and immediately turned around to find a strong vine.

Qingwu tied the pheasant tightly, and tied it a few more times because he was not sure, and then he relaxed.

It's no wonder they were nervous. This pheasant is meat. Apart from eating a piece of meat during the Chinese New Year, they haven't tasted meat yet.

Seeing that there was no one around, the brothers and sisters quickly put the pheasant under the backpack, covered it with leaves and firewood, and then carried their things back.

Everyone is poor these days, and if someone sees us, it will attract attention.

When they were halfway there, they happened to meet Tan who was looking for them.

Before Tan could speak, several people came forward and pulled her back.

It was as if there was a monster chasing after her, which made Tan very worried.

As soon as they got home, they quickly closed the courtyard door and pulled Tan into the kitchen.

Without waiting for Tan to ask, Qingyu couldn't wait to present the treasure to Tan: "Mom, look what we caught?"

Qingyu put the backpack on the table, removed the leaves and firewood on it, revealing the pheasant.

"Where did you catch it?" Tan was also surprised and happy.

"When we came back, the chicken got tangled up in something and started flapping its legs around, and then it became ours." Qingyu said, and the other three people nodded in tacit understanding.

Tan looked at the children. They were craving meat, and she was craving it too. "Let's kill this chicken tonight and make soup with half of it. How do you think?"

The four people had no objection and saved some meat to eat.
