Chapter 13 Hairy Chestnuts

Due to the limited amount of hemp rope, Liu Qingluo had arranged a total of four covers before. They looked at the first brother's rope sets first, but they turned out to be empty.

The biscuits attached to the noose had been eaten, and the supporting bamboo around the noose fell apart.

"This should be a big guy..." Liu Heping looked around and said with some regret, "Look at the footprints are wild deer. Deer are too alert and difficult to catch."

Liu Wenquan also showed regret.

If you catch a wild deer, not only can you taste some fishy meat at home, but the fresh venison can also be sold for a lot of money when you bring it to the town...

Liu Qingluo didn't feel much. The traps she made were not used to hunt large animals. She was very satisfied if she could catch a few pheasants and ducks...

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise at the second trap.

Two pheasants with colorful tails are bound by ropes and are flapping their wings...

Liu Heping caught the pheasants, tied them together with hemp rope, and said with a smile, "One trap caught two, Niuniu's trap is really powerful!"

Liu Qingluo smiled shyly.

"Father, Niuniu, come and see—"

Liu Wenquan shouted from the third trap.

Liu Qingluo hurriedly ran after her father, and saw a little wild boar lying in the hole they dug!

This wild boar was obviously young, with one leg tied by a rope buckle, and kept barking, trying to rush towards Liu Wenquan and the others, intending to attack them with its sharp teeth.

"Both of you hide aside!" Liu Heping hurriedly pulled Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo behind the big tree to hide, then took the hemp rope and carefully tied the little wild boar firmly.

Although the wild boar was small, it was still heavy, so it had to be transported back by Liu Heping, and Liu Wenquan helped carry the fish, while Liu Qingluo carried a small basket on her back and held a colorful pheasant in her arms.

During the walk and rest, maybe because she was full, or maybe because she was in a happy mood, not only did Liu Qingluo not feel tired, she even picked up many fallen chestnuts by the side of the mountain road while Liu Heping and his son were resting.

"Niuniu, what did you pick up these for?"

Liu Heping asked strangely.

Liu Qingluo used a pair of small hands to pick and choose, and pulled the Mao Lizi into her small back basket. Hearing this, she raised her head in surprise, "Didn't Dad know this?"

Liu Wenquan also came over to look at it, and said with a smile, "Didn't this fall from the tree? Every year, it falls everywhere on the mountain. It can't be eaten or seen. It's full of burrs, and even cows don't eat it..."

Whether something can be eaten or not, rhubarb said it doesn't count!
Liu Qingluo had no choice but to say innocently: "This is called a chestnut, the skin is peeled, and the inside is delicious!"

After she finished speaking, she specially peeled a chestnut, stuffed the bright yellow flesh inside into her mouth, and ate it deliciously.

"Niuniu, don't dare to eat indiscriminately!" Liu Heping was shocked, grabbed Liu Qingluo, put her upside down, and kept patting her on the back, "Spit it out, spit it out!"

Liu Qingluo turned her head down, and she almost vomited out the delicious food she ate at noon when she was photographed, she quickly shouted: "Daddy, I have already eaten, it's okay, it's really okay..."

Seeing that she had swallowed the chestnuts, Liu Heping had no choice but to put her down, and said in fear, "Niu Niu, don't dare to eat anything in the mountains, what if it's poisonous?"

With a bitter face, she had to admit her mistake: "Father, Niuniu will never dare again...but this is really delicious..."

My daughter ate all of it, so Liu Heping didn't care anymore. She reached out to take it and ate one. Unexpectedly, it tasted sweet and delicious, and it was really delicious.

"This thing is really edible..." Liu Heping was a little shocked.

In the past, the burrs on the side of the mountain road were everywhere. Even when they were poor, no one wanted to peel off the burrs and eat them...

And this thing is not the same as fruit, not only can be eaten, but also can be eaten as a meal.

Liu Wenquan also picked up a handful and came back, eating while walking, picking up while eating, and soon picked up a lot in the basket.

By the time they returned with a full load, more than half of Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo's baskets were filled with chestnuts...

"Oh! Mother, come out quickly, brother and Niuniu are back!" As always, it was the fourth aunt Zhang, who had nothing to do and was leaning on the door eating melon seeds, to find them first.

She rushed over in a gust of wind, and saw the little black pig dragged by Liu Heping at a glance.

"Oh my god, big brother and they caught a wild boar back!" Zhang's voice kept yelling, and soon recruited the whole family...

"My God, there are still pheasants and fish here!" Mrs. Zhang finished rummaging through Liu Heping's basket, and went to Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo's back baskets...

Mrs. Du, who had just walked out of the door, felt uncomfortable when she saw Mrs. Zhang rummaging through her husband, son and daughter.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang's exclamation came back again: "...Ah! Brother Quan, Niuniu, what are you doing with the half-basket full of fur balls?"

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Chen and the others were surrounding Liu Heping, looking at his little wild boar. Hearing the words, they surrounded Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo.

Mrs. Liu first flipped through it casually, and sure enough, as Mrs. Zhang said, half of the basket was filled with hairball fruits, and she immediately pulled her face down.

"Wenquan, Niuniu, you two didn't go to pick mushrooms, why did you bring so many fur balls here?"

"Mother, don't blame Wenquan and Niuniu..." Liu Heping saw that his mother was angry and wanted to blame his children. He was originally dull and honest, and he couldn't speak, and his face flushed red in a moment of anxiety.

"Brother, it's not the first time you go hunting in the mountains. It's fine to take Brother Quan with you. You took them to pick mushrooms. How can you let them mess around?"

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang talked to each other, and they almost didn't talk to Liu Heping at all.

Liu Qingluo was small, standing on the ground, she was almost sprayed to death by their saliva...

"His fourth aunt, what are you talking about!" Du Shi was like an old hen guarding her cubs, guarding her two children behind her.She didn't dare to challenge Mrs. Liu, but she wasn't polite to Mrs. Zhang, cursing, "At our age, Niuniu, we cut grass to feed cows, and went to the mountains to collect mushrooms. What are you doing at your age! I eat and wait to die every day, I am too lazy to have cramps!"

After scolding, Du picked up Niu Niu, touched her shoes with leaking toes, and said with red eyes, "Our Niu Niu is only five years old, we climbed the mountain before dawn, look at the scuffed little feet, they are all blistered. She has already done a lot, mother, don't blame her anymore..."

Old Mrs. Liu took a look at Liu Qingluo's feet, and there were indeed several blisters.Quiet.

At this time, Liu Qingluo's crisp voice came, "Mother, this fruit is edible, Niuniu and Brother Quan are not picking it up for fun..." She opened her small palm, and in her hand was a peeled chestnut.

"Okay, motherfucker..." Du Shi burst into tears, no matter whether he recognized this thing or not, he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth...
