Chapter 159 How did you get down?
"Xuyuan, be careful up there."
Xu Qing looked at Xuyuan who had climbed so high and felt a little nervous. He picked it up from the ground from time to time and then looked up at the tree.
"Okay, I'll be more careful. You guys should also be careful down there so you don't get hit."
Make a wish and climb up the tree, cut off the high branches full of fruits, and throw them down for people below to pick directly.
The others all fell down.
With a crackling sound, the ground was soon covered with thorny fruits.
When the people standing nearby saw Xuyuan shaking the fruit on the other side, they began picking up the thorny fruits on the ground.
Because the thorns on the tree were a bit prickly, Xuyuan asked everyone to pick up two branches to use as chopsticks, and then put them in the backpack.
Some of the chestnut balls have already cracked, and the chestnuts inside can be seen. People use their feet to step on them, use branches, and pick out the chestnuts with their hands. Those that haven't cracked are put into sacks and dealt with again when they go back.
In addition to carrying bamboo baskets, everyone also brought a few sacks. By now, a sack was already full of pickers.
It was also the first time that Xu Qing saw this fruit, called chestnut. He tried one at Xuyuan's house and found that the flesh tasted softer than sweet potato.
Needless to say, the emblica fruit grows all over the mountains, but most people don't like the taste of this fruit. I didn't expect that after this girl added some chili and salt, it became refreshing and spicy, and very delicious.
I felt sad when I thought about how I missed several fruit trees when I was picking firewood.
Otherwise, there are still many ideas for making wishes. The fruit that everyone dislikes can be made into a snack for entertainment in the future.
"Mom, mom, this thorn ball is so big, there must be a lot of chestnuts inside." Gu Qingming held a big chestnut in his hands, ran to Xu Qing to show off.
"Silly boy, isn't it prickly? Hurry up and throw it into the bag."
"Mine is bigger than yours." Many people heard Gu Qingming showing off and took out the chestnuts they had just thrown into the basket with difficulty and threw them on the ground.
"Let me see." Hearing that the chestnuts were bigger than the ones he had picked up, Gu Qingming hurried over to the other side.
"Wow, they're really big, Xiaoduo. The chestnuts in your basket are all so big. I'll pick them up from your side." Gu Qingming ran back to his mother again, took a sack with him, and happily picked up the big chestnuts with many others.
A few people who were picking up thorn balls nearby looked at the two kids, feeling quite helpless.
After making a wish, I had climbed to a higher place with a wider view. I looked around and found that not far from the path, there were several wild chestnut trees growing there. The plants were not very big.
I saw a branch above my head with many fruits on it. I was about to reach out and chop it off, but suddenly...
"Snapped."
The grass over there rustled, and the sound became louder and louder.
Once again, "Pop."
Accompanied by a scream.
Such a loud noise directly startled the people who were still leisurely picking chestnuts. They dropped the branches in their hands and ran towards the place where the noise came from.
"Make a wish!" Xu Qing moved closer and soon arrived at the place where the noise came from.
When I saw Xuyuan lying on the ground, I was frightened and did not move Xuyuan immediately. I looked at the ground where he was lying and found no stones. Fortunately, there was grass and mud underneath.
A few people from behind also gathered around, and the child who was laughing just now was scared to tears.
Xu Yuan lay on the ground for a long time and said, "I'm fine. Just let me lie down for a while."
I was confused, really confused, and my head was still dizzy. How did I get down? I seemed to have my feet steady just now, how did I end up lying on the ground?
The branch under me had broken, and one of the branches hit my waist. Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes, so I didn't feel any pain. It was just a little uncomfortable, and my butt was a little soft, and it felt like it was furry and sticky to the touch.
If I heard correctly, wasn’t there a scream just now?
I tried to move my left foot, but it hurt a little bit when I moved it.
Chen Biyun and Li Juanhua squatted down and slowly moved away the broken branches around them. Xu Yuan felt that the branch that was causing him discomfort around his waist had been moved away, and he finally felt better.
Xu Qing was anxious: "Xuyuan, where did you fall? Where does it hurt?"
Xu Yuan came back to his senses: "Aunt Xu, help me up."
"Where did you fall? Did you hurt your waist?"
"No."
"hiss."
Xu Yuan endured it and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Xiaozhi, help me take this thing out." Xu Yuan raised half of his body with difficulty and pointed at the furry thing under him.
Xu Zhi stood at Xu Yuan's feet, wiping her tears silently. When she heard her elder sister calling her, she gently stepped forward, supported Xu Yuan's back, and slowly fished out the things under her.
"Woo, woo, hare!"
The few children who were still crying immediately stopped crying and looked at what Xu Zhi took out.
A fat gray rabbit with blood on its head.
Xuyuan laughed: "I didn't expect to hit a hare when I fell."
"Xuyuan, did you sprain your foot? Let me take a look." Xu Qing saw Xu Yuan frowning whenever he moved his foot, but he didn't cry out in pain. He just looked at Xu Qing with heartache.
He walked forward carefully and rolled up Xuyuan's trouser legs.
A few children nearby who had just stopped crying began to sob quietly again.
"Sister, you must be in pain, wuwuwu..."
Many people sat in front of the wishing table, tears streaming down their faces.
The originally slender ankle has become red and swollen. The other side is fine, but there are some abrasions above the knee, and the fabric at the knee of the pants is a little torn.
Xu Yuan looked around and there were no herbs in this area that could be picked for the compress.
"I'll carry you down the mountain and go see Doctor Wei first." This wouldn't work, Xu Qing made the decision immediately.
"Aunt Xu, wait a minute, put these fruits into the bags. You have never been here before and you don't know the way down the mountain. It would be better for you to go down together."
"Yeah, can you still hold on? Let's move faster."
Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
By then, everyone had filled four sacks, and their backpacks, big and small, were almost full.
Each family did their own thing. Xu Qing wanted to carry Xuyuan down the mountain, so he hid the sack in the bushes and would come back to carry it when he had time. Calculating the timing, Qinghan was about to go to the academy for a break. There were still many chestnuts on the tree, so let him do it.
Xu Qing walked in front carrying Xuyuan on his back, Chen Biyun and Juanhua followed behind, and everyone followed silently, carrying chestnuts to the best of their ability.
As for the dead hare, Xu Zhi tied up its four legs and put it in the backpack.
"Xuyuan, don't you eat? Why are you so light? Remember to eat well when you get back. Now you have food. If you hadn't worn thicker clothes today, you might have fallen somewhere."
Xu Qing muttered.
"it is good."
