Chapter 179: Double Ninth Festival Climbing 1

The arrival of Mrs. Xue and her group added a bit of liveliness to the small village.

"Tomorrow is Double Ninth Festival. The teacher said he would take us to climb the mountain. We should go back and prepare some food to take with us." After school, Qing Ning spoke to everyone while packing up.

Xue Mingxiang said with a smile, "Grandma told me about this this morning. She wants to go with us tomorrow to rest and climb the mountain."

Qingke: "That's perfect. We didn't have the leisure to celebrate Double Ninth Festival in previous years, but this year we do have the mood. We can also be elegant and climb high, appreciate chrysanthemums, drink wine, taste cakes, and wear dogwood."

"Here, there are endless green mountains and peaks, which look very beautiful. I think the scenery in the mountains must have a thousand colors." Xue Jingming has been enjoying himself these days.

Qing Ning: "I've thought it through. Tomorrow I'll bring some more food and take you to a nice place. We'll use the sky as our tent and the ground as our bed and have a good time."

"We'll help you," Yu Er and Guo Er came over and urged excitedly.

Qing Ning packed up their things, and a group of people went to Mr. Ma's house in a mighty manner. Now they all had meals at Mr. Ma's house, which was close.

When they mentioned that they would go mountain climbing on Double Ninth Festival tomorrow, Mr. Yu and others said that they would go with them.

After dinner, everyone got busy. Qingke took Xue Mingxiang and others to prepare pastries for tomorrow, while Qingning took his brothers to catch crabs in the river.

"The water is cold, so you are not allowed to come down. Just stand on the shore. I just called Brother Qingye and asked him to row the boat over to catch some fish and shrimps." Qingwu gave Qingning instructions without leaving any room for negotiation.

Qing Ning's eyes sparkled, and she looked innocent and pure: "Brother, I won't go into the water. I'll just watch and dig for crabs by the rocks."

Seeing that she was obedient, Qingwu said no more.

After a while, Qingye rowed a small boat over, and Yu Er and Guo Er jumped on first.

"You two should be careful. You don't know how to use water, so don't move around. Be careful about everything." Guo Xinjun had to remind them when he saw that they were too playful.

"Don't worry, brother. We two will be careful." Guo Er replied loudly.

People on the shore were watching the fun, and the people on the boat were also really excited.

"Qingye, give me a try with this net and see if you can catch any fish." Yu Er begged Qingye to give him a try. Qingye looked at him and then at the net, and finally gave in to his pleading.

Qingye handed him the fishing net, taught him how to hold the net, the force and direction to cast the net, and only when he nodded in agreement did he let him try it out on his own.

Yu Er stood firmly with his feet apart, swung the net back and forth in his hands a few times, and then threw it into the water in one go. Nothing unexpected happened, of course there was an accident.

It didn't matter if the net wasn't spread out or spread far, but when he exerted force on the water, the boat shook and he almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Guo Er and Qing Ye were staring at him and quickly grabbed him.

But Guo Er was also a landlubber, and his body was unstable. Coupled with Yu Er's operation, the two of them were face to face.

Qingye's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Looking at the two people lying on the boat, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The people on the shore were terrified by this scene. Guo Xinjun said, "Are you two okay? Come up quickly. You can't just catch fish and shrimp with a net if you want. Qingye and the others have been practicing for years. Don't mess with them."

Xue Jingming: "Yeah, you two should come up, it's scary just looking at me."

"Get away from me. I can't save my face if you stay this close to me." Yu Er pushed Guo Er in disgust.

Guo Er stood up and wiped his mouth vigorously with his sleeve, and said viciously: "Bah, I will rinse my mouth eight hundred times when I go back, humph!" The two of them got off the boat laughing and joking.

Qingbai handed the small shovel to him and said, "You should just focus on digging for river crabs. See these holes? Crabs usually stay in these holes."

The two men took the shovels and stopped asking to get on the boat. To be honest, they were really scared just now.

Qing Ning saw that they were having fun and said, "Brothers, you guys just catch some fish and shrimps and dig some river crabs here. I'm going to go find Uncle Shi."

"I'll go with you." Meng Er said as he ran into Qing Ning.

Qing Ning had come to Yu Shi for no other reason than to discuss tomorrow's matter. She had asked Yu Shi to hunt some game and then find the small barbecue grill he had made earlier and bring it up the mountain tomorrow.

After everything was packed up, there was a huge pile of things. How could you tell we were going for hiking and sightseeing? This was purely for a picnic.

The next morning, the teacher of the school led a group of students to the mountains, and Grandpa Yu and others also went with them.

"Ah~ What a refreshing sky!"

"The leaves in the mountains haven't completely turned yellow yet, and there's still some green. Just looking at this scenery makes me feel much more relaxed."

"What kind of fruit is on this tree?"

“Is this a chestnut?”

Everyone was in high spirits along the way. The teacher took the students to talk about the scenery and compose poems. On the other hand, Madam Xue and others were curious about the wild animals in the mountains.

"Let's pick some wild chestnuts and roast them over the fire later."

When the little monkeys heard this, they ran away very quickly.

"Put everything you pick up in this cloth bag." Xiang Ling was foresighted and brought a large cloth bag and slung it over her shoulder.

"Be careful and hold a stick in your hand. Snakes and insects in autumn have not all gone into hibernation yet. Don't scare them. If you get bitten, it will be no joke." Old Mrs. Chen, who was relieved for once, also followed.

Children are the most carefree, seeing everything as a toy. Before going to school, they would spend their days wandering the fields, the village, and the mountains, chasing their shadows.

Now that I'm in school and under control, I'm no longer as free as I once was. How can I not follow the current of the wind? Suddenly, the forest was filled with the innocent chirping of pheasants, their laughter filling the air with all the creatures in the woods, making everything seem vibrant and lively.

"It's still a good place to raise people. My granddaughter rarely goes out on weekdays, but she seems to have become much more lively since she came here." Old Lady Xue looked at the children with a smile, her eyes full of love.

"Let them have their fun, we'll just take care of our own business. Don't get lost. You should exercise more on a daily basis, too. What's that saying?" Old Mrs. Chen frowned and thought for a moment. "Yes, it says if you want to live to be ninety-nine, you need to walk more to exercise."

"That's what my elder sister said."

They walked and stopped along the way, and it took them two hours to enter the valley.

The climate in the valley is warmer than that in the surrounding areas, and the wild flowers are beautiful everywhere, making it feel like a paradise on earth.

"There is such a wonderful place in this mountain. This is the first time I've seen it." Many people lamented that they came too late.

"It's really beautiful here. Although there are autumn flowers outside, they lack fragrance. Here, it's like spring with hundreds of flowers blooming."

“And butterflies and bees.”

"I saw a wild rabbit. It ran very fast. I couldn't catch it."

For a moment, everyone's mood became brighter and they were all amazed by the beautiful scenery before them.

Mother Chen and a few maids put away the things they brought, found a flat place with a wide view, spread out a coarse cloth, prepared tea and snacks, and waited for them to rest when they were tired.
