"Uncle Qi, I want to make a nest for two tiger cubs, but I don't know what to use." Ye Feiyang searched the kitchen but couldn't find any suitable materials.

Uncle Qi glanced at the tiger cubs who were having fun around Ye Feiyang's legs, and thought for a while: "We'll make a nest out of rattan strips, and then spread some withered grass."

Ye Feiyang's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he expect that!Moreover, there are so many wild vines in this mountain, and the vine strips are not easy to catch!The original plan to go to the mountains tomorrow was inadvertently advanced, Ye Feiyang thought about it and asked: "Uncle Qi, I want to go to the mountains to have a look, get some wild vines back, and find some food by the way."

Uncle Qi objected: "No, you are not familiar with the mountains, not to mention there are many animals in the mountains, you can't handle them."

This objection was expected by Ye Feiyang, and he patiently persuaded him: "Uncle Qi, there is not much ration in the house, and everyone needs to take care of themselves. You can't stop eating meat, and you can't eat too much fish. You can only go to the mountains to find more food." , I will be careful, if you don’t go too far, just get some rabbits and pheasants.”

Uncle Qi still shook his head: "Those beasts are very smart, you may not be able to catch them, if you accidentally get lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Uncle Qi, even if I don't go today or tomorrow, I will still go when all the food in the house is eaten up. Instead of waiting until the day when I run out of ammunition and food, I might as well take advantage of it now." Go. Don't tell me that you plan to go by yourself in a few days. The old doctor said that you will never go up the mountain in two months because of your leg injury. I will never let you sneak up the mountain again this time. "Ye Feiyang's attitude is very firm.

Uncle Qi was silent for a moment, his eyes drifted to Xiao San who had been sitting silently at the side, and he felt hesitant: "In this case, please invite Mr. Xiao to go with you, so that the two of you can take care of each other."

Ye Feiyang felt that it made sense, and followed Uncle Qi's gaze to look at Xiao San.Xiao San raised his eyebrows, still smiling like a half-smile.Fang Zhengjie turned his eyes between the three adults in the room, and finally summoned up the courage to speak: "Actually, I can also take Brother Ye. I often go to the mountains with Master to collect herbs, and I also know some roads. , besides, I have a compass."

Fang Zhengjie is always so caring, and Ye Feiyang patted his head in relief: "Okay, then take me to the place where you know the way, and we won't go too far. Xiao San, you stay in the house and take care of Qi Uncle and Jixiang are well."

Xiao San raised his eyebrows, but still remained silent, watching Ye Feiyang lead Fang Zhengjie outside to prepare things for going up the mountain, then he turned his head, looked at Uncle Qi, and twitched his lips: "Master Qi was begging me just now ?”

Uncle Qi lowered his head slightly: "Yes. The guilty minister begs the master to protect you well."

"It's really an honor for me to beg for the words of the dignified General Qi. However, Master Qi, if I remember correctly, you came here to guard the coffin for your beloved one back then, why did you do it for him today? Someone else said a request to me?"

Sadness flashed across Uncle Qi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, why bother? The guilty minister does not regret leading the decree to go to the army, nor does he regret coming here for his decree. Feiyang is just an innocent person who strayed into this place. The master raises his hand high."

"Innocent people? Is it a human or a demon?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a human or a demon. The master should have seen it in the past two days. Even a demon is a little demon. If there is any change in him in the future, the guilty minister will personally kill him!"

Xiao San got up and walked out, said lightly: "Remember what you said today, I believe that General Qi will do what he says."

It wasn't until Xiao San walked out of the room that Uncle Qi raised his head. Not long after, there was a conversation outside the door.

"I'll go with you."

"Then who will take care of Uncle Qi and Jixiang?"

"They are sleeping, we just need to go back early."

"Well, that's fine, then let's go."

The three set off quickly, Xiao San suddenly pointed to the white circle on a tree not far away, and asked, "What is this? Why is this tree the only one with a white circle?"

When Ye Feiyang saw it, he immediately felt guilty. This was painted on last time to prevent getting lost, but he would not be so stupid as to admit it, so he pretended to go over and take a look: "Well, it's very strange, maybe it's something Leftovers. Maybe pests."

Xiao San narrowed his eyes slightly, noncommittal, seeing this, Ye Feiyang immediately pulled Fang Zhengjie to turn in a different direction, anyway, he said he knew the way around here, so he was not afraid of getting lost.

Ye Feiyang and Fang Zhengjie each carried a big bamboo basket and held a stick in their hand to pull the weeds in front of them, while Xiao San followed behind them empty-handed, listening to their speech.

"Brother Ye, there are many treasures in this mountain. Master and I have been here many times. Do you want to dig Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng? I can take you there!" Fang Zhengjie told Ye Feiyang everything he knew as if offering a treasure.

Ye Feiyang's heart moved: "Do you know where? It's not far from here. It would be nice to pick a few sticks of ginseng to nourish Uncle Qi's body. Cut into slices and stew chicken, it's nourishing and delicious."

The foodie Fang Zhengjie nodded immediately: "That's right, Uncle Qi has lost too much blood and has a deficiency of righteous energy. It's best to eat ginseng tonic, and it's not too far away. I'll take you there."

Xiao San said coolly behind him: "This time I came out to find food, if you want ginseng, just go down the mountain and ask your master, why bother to find it yourself."

Fang Zhengjie stuck out his tongue when he looked at it. The master brought out not many ginseng, and it was for life-saving. How could he be willing to take it out to eat stewed chicken.Ye Feiyang was reminded, indeed, it's better to find food first, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow for ginseng or something.

Ye Feiyang always thought that there should be more pheasants and hares in the mountains, because Uncle Qi often brought them home, and he planned to get a few back when he came out this time, but he didn't see any of them during the trip, which is really strange. Could it be that the small animals sensed danger and hid themselves?

After walking for a while, the trees in front of him became more and more dense, and the dead leaves under their feet covered the insteps as soon as they stepped in, and the light became dim unconsciously. Ye Feiyang looked around carefully all the way, and there were many trees growing here. Mushrooms, because Ye Feiyang had already picked a lot at home before, so he didn’t pick them now. As he walked, Ye Feiyang suddenly saw a small group of black irregular mushrooms growing on a tree trunk. The shape looked very familiar, Ye Feiyang walked over quickly, his face was filled with joy, isn't this the fungus!He took off the small piece and turned to greet the two people beside him: "You should look around too, this black fungus is delicious."

As soon as Fang Zhengjie heard that it was delicious, he immediately regained his energy, and circled the tree in a dizzy manner. Xiao San didn't want to move lazily, but just raised his head and looked around silently. Ye Feiyang didn't care, and searched as he walked. There are many trees in the village, and there are also many dead trees. It didn't take long to find a lot of black fungus for them. Ye Feiyang picked it up and thought, I don't know if there are white fungus, and the sweet soup made with white fungus is delicious.

"Brother Ye, look, we've come to the bamboo forest!" Fang Zhengjie shouted happily.Ye Feiyang followed his hand and looked over, his eyes suddenly brightened, what caught his eye was a piece of emerald green, not far in front of him was a big mountain depression, in the mountain depression grew a large bamboo forest, lush and green, straight and upright, with the mountain wind blowing by, The branches and leaves rustled, and the flexible figure swayed gently with the wind. Ye Feiyang opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect that there would be a valley on the mountainside, and it was obvious that there were dense trees on his side, but he didn't expect that there would be a valley just a few steps away. Such a bamboo forest.

Fang Zhengjie was very proud: "It's amazing, I thought it was incredible when I first came here."

Ye Feiyang nodded: "Indeed." After recovering from the initial surprise, he shook his arms, "Zhengjie, do you want to eat fried bamboo shoots?"

"miss you!"

"Haha, then follow me to pick bamboo shoots!"

Xiao San watched the big and small running towards the bamboo forest happily, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and Uncle Qi's words lingered in his ears, he would cheer excitedly for the bamboo forest, It's really a bad little monster.

Ye Feiyang was overjoyed when he heard the faint clucking sound coming from the wind, no wonder he didn't see any pheasants or ducks along the way, it turned out they were hiding in the bamboo forest!

The col went down a slope, and it wasn't too steep. The two of them ran for a while and arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest. Ye Feiyang put his finger on his mouth, signaling Fang Zhengjie not to make too much noise, so as not to scare away the pheasants and ducks.

There are bamboo shoots everywhere in this bamboo forest. The old ones are one meter high, and the young ones have just emerged from the ground. They are so cute. The more Ye Feiyang looked at them, the happier he was. He took Fang Zhengjie's hand and whispered to him: "Do you remember?" Pick the smaller ones, don’t pick the ones that are too small, just pick the ones that are longer than your palm. You see, the closer the distance between the nodes of the bamboo shoot, the tastier the bamboo shoots will be. The outer shell, you should also choose a plump and smooth one.”

Fang Zhengjie nodded again and again: "I remember."

"Well, you stay with me, be careful yourself, don't cut your hands, the edges of these bamboo shoots are sharp." After thinking for a while, Ye Feiyang still took out a handkerchief from his body and asked Fang Zhengjie to wrap it Pulling the bamboo shoots out, he took one piece himself, looked up at Xiao San, and silently put the third piece back, that person didn't look like he would bend over to pull out bamboo shoots, so forget it.

The two carefully picked the bamboo shoots, while not forgetting to prick up their ears, hoping to hear the sound of pheasants and ducks. There were too many bamboo shoots in sight, and it didn't take long to fill half a bamboo basket. Ye Feiyang weighed it, Telling Fang Zhengjie not to pick them first, he picked two bigger ones himself.

At this time, Xiao San, who had been idling around by the side, suddenly moved: "There is a chicken over there!"
