Chapter 21 Climbing Trees
"Fat Meow, be careful!"

Li Xiaodao's pupils shrank sharply, he exclaimed in surprise, dropped the vegetable basket, and ran over with his legs thrown off.

He raised his head, looked at the 20-meter-high tree in front of him, and spread his hands in a embracing shape in fear, ready to pick someone up.

"Fat Miao'er, be obedient, come down quickly."

Li Xiaodao tried his best to slow down his tone, for fear of scaring the little figure climbing on the tree.

"Fat Meow—"

At this time, Compass also noticed the movement here, looked up, and saw that a big tree thicker than his waist was climbed up by Fat Miaoer, and he climbed to the branch.

Too dangerous!

It's so dangerous!

If he accidentally let go of his hand and dropped it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Fat Miao'er, don't go up anymore, come down quickly, we will follow you."

Compass's heart hung up, and his voice trembled when he spoke.

Although it was shaded by a tree, it was quiet and cool, but he seemed to be thrown into the sun and exposed to the sun. The sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks in layers, dripping down on the skirt of his clothes, soaking it all up.

He really likes this little chubby meow who takes him to eat steamed buns, gives him coins, and teaches him arithmetic.

She can't have an accident!
Compass's head got hot, and he walked under the tree, put his hands up, and was about to climb up the tree with his legs kicking.

Li Xiaodao quickly stopped the person, and said sharply: "Don't make trouble!"

Hearing the scolding, Luo Pan came to his senses, knowing that it was useless to go up at this time, so he could only spread his hands like Li Xiaodao, ready to respond at any time.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Fat Miao'er, who was touching the branch, turned his head to take a look when he heard the voice below.

Smiling slightly, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, the smile bloomed on her face, like a flower in spring, with a pleasant atmosphere, like the sun, smiling into people's hearts all at once.

Not only that, Fat Miao'er also let go of one hand with great interest, and waved towards Li Xiaodao and the compass.

"Be careful!" The two of them were so scared that they held their breath.

Fat Miao'er didn't take it seriously, and under the worried eyes of the two, turned back and climbed up.

It was getting higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the branch, and finally stopped crawling. She stretched out her chubby hand to the bird's nest sandwiched between the two branches, and touched it.

Sure enough, there are bird eggs.

Fat Miao'er was overjoyed.

She took out the eggs one by one, put them into her bosom, and quickly descended the tree.

"boom!"

When she was less than one meter away from the ground, she jumped and landed on both feet.

"Huh!" Li Xiaodao and Compass let go of their hanging hearts.

"It's too dangerous, don't do it next time." Li Xiaodao scowled, frightened for a while.

Compass wiped his sweat, with a look of relief on his face, he raised his hand and patted Fat Miao'er's head indiscriminately: "I didn't expect you to be such a nimble little fat man!"

"of course!"

Fat Miao'er puffed out his chest: "We are a cat, isn't a cat just flexible and agile?"

She has this advantage!

Oh, no!
She can still eat and has great strength.

"Pfft!" Li Xiaodao smiled, and cast a sideways glance: "You little guy, you think you're called Fat Miao'er, and you're really a cat."

Li Xiaodao shook his head, not taking Fat Meow's words seriously.

"Let's go, dig wild vegetables."

Li Xiaodao greeted, pulled the compass and Fat Miao'er back to the vegetable basket, squatted down, picked up the rusty short knife and dug.

The three of them moved together, not too slowly. After about a quarter of an hour, the dilapidated small basket was filled, and the small basket behind Fat Miao'er was also full.

"gone back."

Li Xiaodao carried Fat Miao'er's small pannier on his back, and strode ahead.

When they rushed back to the ruined temple, Liu Ye'er and Wei Shu had already wiped the broken table clean, filled the water and reconciled.

Wei Shu also found a big old iron pot that he treasured for a long time.

"Huh, is there a pot?" Fat Miao'er looked at the pot in front of him with a curious expression.

The pot is small and very old.

There is a deep crack in the middle, which has been repaired indiscriminately, and it is barely usable.

"The pot is very valuable."

Fat Miao'er heard Li Hongzao mention that her family bought a big iron pot, which cost a total of two hundred cash.

"The academy replaced the pot with a new one. I don't want this one, so I picked it up."

Wei Shu explained, rolled up his sleeves, and took a rag to wipe the pot inside and out, with that careful appearance, like treating rare treasures.

"At that time, I thought, earn money to build a stove, buy rice and noodles to cook by myself, so that it tastes like home."

Wei Shu's voice was very soft, his dark eyes reflected his longing for a better life.

This inadvertently sketched picture resonated with Li Xiaodao, Luo Pan and Liu Ye'er.

"When will I have a home!" Liu Ye'er sighed.

"There will always be such a day." Li Xiaodao encouraged.

He lifted up the vegetable basket and the wild vegetables in the basket, poured them out, chopped off the ends, removed the damaged parts, and took them outside the ruined temple for cleaning.

Liu Yeer and others went over to help.

Fat Miao'er was free, went to the floor and sat down, took out the bird eggs in her arms and put them on the palm of her hand, counting carefully, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eggs, five people are hard to distinguish .

Chubby Miao'er's beautiful little brows frowned, and she stretched out her hand to lean on her cheek, what should I do?
Suddenly, Fat Miaoer had an idea, and there it is!

She twisted her body and ran to the place where Liu Ye'er was sleeping, and found a small wooden bowl from the placed items, which she usually used to drink water.

Fat Miao'er raised his hand to break the eggs, poured them in one by one, and stirred them clockwise.

So they can make a pot of bird's egg wild vegetable soup!

An hour later.

Steaming heat spread in the ruined temple.

"Smells so good!" Liu Ye'er sighed, obviously there is no smell, but she just thinks it is very fragrant.

Stretching out his hand to probe into the pot, "Hiss~" Liu Ye'er was scalded and retracted, immediately put it on the earlobe, and said with a small mouth: "It's so hot!"

"Be careful." Li Xiaodao took out his homemade chopsticks, picked out the wild vegetable balls, and put them on the table.

Fat Miao'er leaned over and counted, there were fifteen in total.

So he said, "There are three of us each."

"Okay!" Li Xiaodao nodded, and thought for a while: "Let's steam it in another pot, save it for tomorrow, it's convenient and easy."

No need to do it now!
"Okay!" This sentence got everyone's approval, so I started working on making noodles again, until the sun went down, and the second pot of wild vegetable dumplings was finally baked.

Everyone was full with Fat Miao'er's bird egg wild vegetable soup and wild vegetable dumpling.

Well, it’s so sweet!

"It would be great if we could eat wild vegetable dumplings every day!"

In the hearts of Li Xiaodao and the others, anticipation arose at the same time.

……

Five days later.

A rain came unexpectedly, and it fell harder and harder, and the ruined temple that had been in disrepair for a long time leaked into a sieve in an instant.

Fat Miao'er, Liu Ye'er, and Wei Shu could only fold their luggage and put them in a corner, and then moved the broken table over to cover it.

"Fat Miao'er, come here."

Liu Ye'er beckoned, the place she was standing on was relatively dry and not wet by the rain.

Fat Miao'er nodded and ran over.

At this time, the door of the ruined temple was pushed open, and two familiar figures walked in.

Liu Ye'er looked up and exclaimed: "Xiao Dao, you, your head..."
