Chapter 114 Discovering Yams
Chapter 114 Discovering Yams
"How about it? Can I take the bird eggs now?"
"Okay, but you need to follow my instructions."
"no problem."
After seven or eight minutes, Chu Dahe pointed at the tree in front of him and said to Chu Yiling, "There is a bird's nest on the first branch of this tree. You can dig out the bird's nest from this tree.
But be careful when you take it out, don't fall off the tree."
"it is good."
"Then we'll go take out the bird nests on the other trees. If you have any problems, just call us."
Chu Yiling nodded when she heard Chu Dahe's words. After Chu Dahe and the others left, she started to climb up the tree using her hands and feet.
When she climbed to the first branch, she stretched her neck to look into the bird's nest, only to see that there was no egg in the nest. It seemed that her first attempt had not been successful.
But she was not disappointed because it was not the breeding season for birds and it was normal to have few bird eggs.
So she didn't stay on the tree for long, but slid down from the tree and started wandering around.
Originally, she just wanted to look for other bird nests nearby, but before she had wandered around for long, she discovered a large patch of yam vines, which shocked her.
However, she did not speak up for herself, because yam is a good thing, and she didn't want anyone to know the existence of this piece of yam for the time being.
"Lingling... Lingling, where are you?"
"Brother Da Hu, I'm here. You guys wait for me where you are. I'll be there to meet you right away."
"it is good."
A few minutes later, Chu Yiling returned to the tree where she had taken the bird eggs and asked Chu Dahu and the others, "Did you take the bird eggs?"
"Only Brother Dajiang got two. Brother Dahe and I didn't get any."
"Then let's go back and come back to get the bird eggs another day."
The three brothers of the Chu family had no objection to what Chu Yiling said. Anyway, they had already dug out all the bird nests they knew about, so there was no point in them staying on the mountain any longer.
It would be better for them to go back and find someone to play war games with. Last time, they were halfway through conquering the hill when their family called them back home for dinner. Today, they must capture that hill no matter what.
Thinking of this, they and Chu Yiling quickly walked down the mountain.
"Lingling, you really don't need us to take you home?"
"No, my home is so close, I can go back by myself."
"Okay, then we'll leave first. We'll come back to find you next time we have a holiday to go up the mountain and collect bird eggs together."
After Chu Dahe and the others left, Chu Yiling hurried home.
"Why are you back so early?"
"Mom, I found a patch of yams on the mountain."
"Are you seeing things? If there really was such a patch of yam, how could the villagers not dig it up?"
"I'm not mistaken, you forgot that when I was fifteen I spent a whole week digging yams at summer camp, so I'll never forget what a yam vine looks like.
As for why the villagers didn’t dig them, I guess they probably didn’t recognize the yam vine, so the yam could grow into such a large area.”
Meng Qiuping thought it was possible after hearing Chu Yiling's words, so she immediately stopped what she was doing and said to Chu Yiling, "Let's go and take a look together."
"Don't you want to call Dad?"
"Your father has gone to the county, and I don't know when he will be back."
"Then let's take our axes and hoes and dig a few to satisfy our cravings today."
"it is good."
