Chapter 78 Discovering Phoebe nanmu
After packing up, everyone in the Gu family continued to walk back.
Gu Fu released his spiritual power and found that the big white deer was still following them. He ignored it and continued to walk forward with his family.
The Gu family members continued walking, scanning the plants that interested them or looked good.
"Hey, Grandpa, look at this tree and the fruit. I scanned it and the phone said it was a walnut tree, so why are the fruits so green?" Gu Yi suddenly asked curiously.
"Hahaha, walnuts are green when they grow on the tree. After you pick them, you remove the green skin and they become the walnuts you usually see." Grandpa Gu replied.
"So that's how it is, Grandpa. Let's pick some walnuts then." Gu Yi said.
"Okay, then pick some." Mr. Gu said with a smile.
As farm boys, climbing trees is a skill they have learned since childhood. Gu Yi and Gu Ru climbed up the tree in a short while and started picking fruits and throwing them down. Gu An and Gu Le were picking them up under the tree.
Grandpa Gu let the boys pick walnuts by themselves, while he took out his cell phone and started scanning the surrounding trees.
When he scanned a tree that required one person to hug, Mr. Gu was surprised. He moved his phone away and then moved it back to scan again. He found the same result. He shouted excitedly: "Come and see, is this a golden nanmu tree?"
The Gu family was scattered a little far away, and Gu Dahe and Gu Dajiang, who were nearby, came over after hearing the news. They both took out their phones and started scanning. As a result, everyone scanned the golden nanmu tree.
Gu Dahe and Gu Dajiang were both excited. Especially Gu Dahe, although he was a part-time carpenter, his desire and yearning for good wood was no less than that of a full-time carpenter.
I touched the tree excitedly and wanted to carry it home.
Gu Dahe said excitedly: "Dad, although golden nanmu has been a royal wood since ancient times, our family now lives in seclusion in the mountains, so it can still be used to make some furniture and ornaments."
"Dad, let's cut down this tree and take it back." Gu Dahe continued.
Mr. Gu was also very happy and said, "Okay, let's take it back."
After the excitement, Gu Dahe looked at his daughter and said, "Daughter, do you have any tools? Let's cut down this tree and take it home."
"Some daddy, after they are chopped up, they can be put into Fu'er's space."
"Grandpa, there is a patch of golden nanmu trees over there. Now that we have come across it, let's cut down a few more trees." Gu Fu said, pointing in a direction.
"Okay, after we cut this one down, let's go over there and take a look."
Gu Fu took out the saw and axe and gave them to Grandpa, Dad, and Second Uncle, and went to watch his brothers pick walnuts.
Although golden nanmu is precious, in the hearts of children, it cannot compare to delicious food.
After Mr. Gu and his two sons cut down the tree, they went in the direction pointed by Gu Fu, and sure enough, they saw a large forest of golden nanmu trees.
The father and his two sons picked up four or five thick and old trees and cut them down.
Gu Yi and the others also picked the walnuts and put them into Gu Fu's space. They accompanied their sister and watched her store the trees cut down by grandfather, second uncle and third uncle into the space.
Gu Dahai also came back with Gu Ji and Gu Xiang, and gave all the pheasants and rabbits they had harvested to Gu Fu.
Gu Dahai also captured two pheasants alive, preparing to take them home to raise. He tied them up with ropes and hung them on Wolf Two.
The pheasant was so frightened that it didn't even dare to call, but shrank its neck and pretended to be a quail.
The Gu family had a fruitful harvest, had a simple lunch, and continued on their journey.
When they were tired, they would ride on tigers or wolves for a walk, and then continue exploring the mountains and forests after a good rest.
During the visit, they discovered several wild persimmon trees, but they were not yet ripe, so everyone noted their locations and planned to come back for more later.
We continued walking forward and found a raspberry bush. Grandpa Gu explained to the children: "This is called raspberry, it tastes sour and sweet."
The greedy little cats of the Gu family stopped to pick some raspberries again. After picking them, the Gu family continued to move forward, learning about the plants along the way.
Gu Dahe saw a large area of black, ripe myrtle and explained to the younger generation, "This is called myrtle, also known as mountain myrtle or myrtle. The black ones are fully ripe. When eating, remove the crown-shaped part of the fruit. It tastes sweet. It can also be used to make wine, but don't eat too much."
"Uncle San, how do we make wine?"
"Is the wine good?"
The boys asked curiously.
"Wash it clean, dry it in the sun, and soak it in wine with wolfberries and red dates. It can strengthen your body."
The boys from the Gu family imagined the taste and licked their lips.
"Uncle San, it must be delicious." Gu An asked.
"It must be sweet, right, Uncle San?" Gu Le asked.
"Then let's pick more and go back to make wine for Uncle San." Gu Yi suggested.
"Okay, okay."
The greedy little cats of the Gu family went to pick some fruits again. After tasting them, although they were already full of the fruits that their sister had brought out, the wild fruits were more novel, so the Gu family boys still ate them with relish.
I even picked a lot of them and stored them for wine making.
Grandpa Gu and brother Gu Dahai looked at the boys with a loving smile.
At night, everyone still found a stone hill to set up their tents and ate the food stored in the space.
Gu Fu released his mental power, and seeing that the giant deer was still following everyone, he released his mental power and fed it food through the air.
"Grandpa, this giant deer has been following us. If it follows us back, we will keep it." Gu Fu said to Grandpa Gu.
"Okay, I'll listen to Fu'er. But this deer is obviously the king deer. Can it follow us back? What if the other deer also follow us back? Should we keep them together?"
Gu Fu thought for a moment and said, "If uncle's analysis is correct, then it must be following for the sweet potatoes. But it didn't eat them when we gave them to it this morning, which shows that the deer king is after something else. Besides food, the only thing we can use to attract animals is the spiritual dew."
"This deer is so smart. How did it find out? What are you going to do?" asked Mr. Gu.
"Here is my plan. Since it believes we have it, it will not leave until it achieves its goal. Let's use the spirit dew to seduce it first, and then subdue it when it follows us home."
"It's so smart. If it decides to follow us and passes by our territory, it will definitely make arrangements for its own tribe."
"Okay, let's see how long he can follow us. Once we get to his territory, let's see if he still follows us."
"Okay, Grandpa."
The grandparents and grandchildren predicted Julu's thoughts in this way.
Having experienced being besieged by beasts before, the three brothers Gu Dahai took turns to keep watch during this rest period, and tigers and wolves were not allowed into the tent.
Fortunately, they are all the overlords of the mountains, and they are more comfortable staying outside than in the tent.
Except for Gu Dahai and his two brothers, everyone in the Gu family had a good night's sleep.
After getting up, the three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family cooked millet porridge. The family members ate dumplings, millet porridge and roasted sweet potatoes, then packed up and continued walking towards home.
