The sun was getting higher, and the temperature in the mountain was slowly rising. Su Ziling sat under the shade of a tree on the top of the mountain to enjoy the coolness. The mountain was too high, and it took her half an hour to climb it.

Fortunately, the rest of the trip was downhill, so we saved a lot of energy.

She rested for a while, then continued walking down with her hoe. The hillside was too steep and the ground was thick and fluffy. She just took a few steps when she slipped and slid all the way down.

The gravel, thorns, and branches on the ground made her hands, legs, and butt hurt. Fortunately, she had a hoe in her hand. She used the hoe to hook the tree above and gradually stabilized herself.

Looking at the thorn bushes above, she breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't caught the tree, she might have rushed into the thorn bush.

With the help of a hoe, she moved sideways little by little until she supported a tree before she dared to stand up.

She just breathed a sigh of relief, but when her eyes fell on the woods below, her eyes immediately lit up.

I saw several small cone chestnuts below. Many people also call them hair chestnuts. They are not big, only as big as an index finger. They are small. They taste similar to chestnuts, but they look more delicate. Eat It tastes crisper and sweeter, but the meat is smaller. (Cone chestnut diagram)

Its leaves are similar to chestnuts, and so is the shell. It also has a prickly shell, but its fruits are independent, unlike chestnuts, which have three or four fruits per shell. (Tree Chestnut Tree)

Seeing the coni chestnuts, cassava and the like, Su Ziling forgot all about it. She thought that the fall was worth it!

If she hadn't fallen, she might have gone inside, where would she have fallen straight down?

She hooked the tree with a hoe and moved down carefully step by step, fearing that it would accidentally roll to the bottom of the mountain, which would be more loss than gain.

Su Ziling didn't feel relieved until she hugged the chestnut tree. The tree was covered with leaves and many chestnut trees.

The leaves of the chestnut tree were slippery to step on, so Su Ziling simply took off her shoes. It was better to be barefoot.

She took off her shoes and carried a basket on her back. She threw the hoe and sack aside. She squatted down and picked them up one by one.

Most of the chestnut shells were still wrapped in the chestnuts. Time was tight, so she could only pick them up with the shells and then go home and slowly pick them up.

Otherwise, if you pick them here, you probably won't be able to pick up much in one day. The mountain here is steep and difficult to climb, so it's not easy to do it once. It's faster to pick up the shells together.

The leaves on the ground were thick, and sometimes the cone chestnuts were still buried under the leaves. She stepped on them before she saw them and was stung.

After pricking it twice, she learned to peel off the leaves. She picked them up and peeled them off, and saw more cone chestnuts under the leaves.

She's not afraid of being pricked either, just throw them one by one into the basket. As long as you're fast, the chestnut shells won't be able to prick her.

The more Su Ziling picked up, the happier she became. She thought that if she picked up all the pieces, she would peel them off, fry them, and sell them in the county, so that she could make a fortune.

She would definitely not be able to eat by herself for such an old age. She couldn't pick up all the food by herself. She would pick up a little today, and then ask her father to come with her tomorrow, bringing two sacks. The father and daughter could pick up the food for a day, and I guess it would be enough.

Su Ziling took a look and saw that there were still a lot of them on the tree. Basically, half of them had fallen to the ground and half were still hanging. She didn't move on the ones on the trees, and picked up the ones on the ground. She would bring a bamboo pole over tomorrow, and then she would pick up the ones on the ground. Knock it all off.
