Yang Ruoqing hunched over and slowed down her pace in the woods. As she walked, her eyes were like searchlights.

He swept through the grass and bushes under his feet inch by inch, not missing any trace.

Then, as if she had found some clue, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Suppressing her excitement, she changed direction and searched towards the sunny side of the forest.

His ears were erect, and his mouth imitated the chirping of autumn insects.

Then, soon, she caught two strange movements in the bushes ahead.

It was a bird's call, short and rapid, similar to the sound of dripping water.

While pushing aside the bushes, the other hand picked up the bamboo basket in his hand.

"Whoosh"

The bushes were pushed aside, and two tawny figures jumped up. Before they could flutter their wings, they were carried back by a bamboo basket that fell from the sky.

Looking at the quail couple struggling angrily under the bamboo basket, Yang Ruoqing burst into laughter.

I stuffed my hand in and captured the two quails easily.

After weighing their wings tied with thatch, the two adult quails combined were not as big as the smaller pheasant from yesterday.

However, something is better than nothing. These two quails have their hair removed and are stewed in soup. It is still good.

especially

In this nest covered with hay and dead branches, there is a nest of quail eggs neatly placed.

Yang Ruoqing counted them, there were fifteen in total.

It's so cool, my two brothers are so happy.

Quail eggs are rich in protein. My two younger brothers are growing and developing, so it’s the best thing to give them.

I happily rushed back to the village with the quails and quail eggs.

As soon as she walked out of the woods, Yang Ruoqing saw a small shadow running out from behind the village and running towards the woods along the winding field path.

Xiaoan

He came running to the woods in a hurry, maybe he was looking for her.

Could it be that something happened at home or that Daan disobeyed and went to the water to catch fish?

Yang Ruoqing frowned and took three steps and two steps to meet Xiao An.

"Xiao An, why are you here?" Yang Ruoqing asked loudly from a distance away.

"Sister, you, go and take a look, brother, brother, he"

When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she became even more anxious.

"What's wrong with Da'an? Did that bastard disobey and sneak away to catch fish in the river?"

Xiao An shook his head like a rattle and panted, "My brother ran to dig out a bird's nest in the old elm tree at the other end of the village. Chen Goudan took his brother Chen Hu and blocked him under the tree, preventing him from letting go.

He comes down"

There is such a thing

When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she became angry

"Come Xiaoan, take this basket home, and I'll pick up Daan."

Yang Ruoqing handed the bamboo basket containing quails and quail eggs to Daan, rolled up her sleeves and left.

Xiao An shouted from behind, "Sister, you have to be careful. Chen Goudan and the others have taken away their wolf dog Black Tiger. That dog is very vicious."

"It's okay. Your sister went over to reason with them. Xiao An, go home quickly and don't lose the things in the basket."

Yang Ruoqing ran to the place Xiao An mentioned in one breath.

That's an old elm tree at the south end of the village, near Blacksmith Luo's house. Every year in late spring and early summer, the tree is covered with elm trees, which is loved by the children in the village.

Turning around the courtyard wall of the house in front, Yang Ruoqing saw from a distance a group of half-grown children gathered under the old elm tree in front of her.

They were all Chen Goudan's followers. Among them, there was a boy who was the tallest, broad-shouldered and round-waisted.

The big boy stood under the old elm tree, looking up at the treetops above his head.

He held a wooden stick in one hand and an iron chain in the other hand. The iron chain kept shaking, and the other end was tied to a black dog.

The black dog was tall and sturdy, with eyes like brass bells, a pair of pointed ears that stood erect on its head, bared its teeth, and stuck out a scarlet tongue.

"Yang Da'an, aren't you quite capable? You beat my brother's balls like that last time. Why are you so timid now that you dare not come down?"

Over there, Chen Hu's roar came. As he roared, he also raised his foot and kicked the tree hard several times.

Chen Hu was so strong that the tree shook with his pedaling.

Da'an, who was riding on the treetop, hugged the tree trunk under him tightly with both hands, trying hard to maintain his body balance.

However, Yang Ruoqing clearly saw the fear on Daan's face.

Yang Ruoqing made a visual inspection and found that the one Daan was sitting on was slightly above the ground, about five meters high.

If you fall down and your head hits the ground, you may suffer a concussion, or your life may be in danger.

If other parts of the body were to hit the ground first, it would be possible to injure internal organs or break bones.

What to do

Call directly

Dealing with brothers Chen Goudan and Chen Hu is not a problem for Yang Ruoqing.

But that wolfdog, like a calf, is a bit tricky.

Yang Ruoqing is not worried about anything else. She can also deal with all the people and dogs.

The only thing I'm worried about is the silly brother riding on the treetops.

When something was done down there, he planned to sneak down to help. If he accidentally got bitten by the dog, it would be serious.

Yang Ruoqing must not let that happen.

Taking another look at the wolfdog that was so irritable that it was circling the old elm tree, Yang Ruoqing's mind brightened and she retreated quietly.

She slipped behind the wall of the neighboring house

Over here, under the old elm tree.

Chen Hu hit the old elm tree with the wooden stick in his hand, and said to Da'an on the treetop, "Yang Da'an, aren't you a good boy? Come down. If you don't come down and fight Goudan again, I'll give it to you."

Stay in this tree until night, and I will tie the black tiger under this tree to accompany you, hahaha."

"Hahaha"

The other boys laughed, some whistled, and some threw stones at Da'an on the treetops.

Daan hugged the tree trunk under him tightly with both hands and pursed his lips into a straight line.

These troublesome people and dogs under the tree certainly made Da'an irritated, but at this moment, his mind was not here.

The boy's bright and clear eyes looked straight at the corner of a courtyard over there through the gaps in the leaves of the old elm tree.

He saw his sister's familiar voice and shadow.

His eyes suddenly brightened up, and the blood all over his body boiled instantly. He seemed to be not afraid of anything anymore, but even more afraid.

He wanted to make a sound to tell his sister not to come over, but he was afraid of disturbing the Chen brothers who were well prepared under the tree.

Just when he was anxious, the familiar figure in the corner suddenly turned around and disappeared.

Daan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good to go

However, I felt a little unspeakably depressed in my heart, and my eyes dimmed unconsciously.

"Yang Da'an, come down here. You are still not a man. Could it be that you still want to wait for your fat girl to come over and save you?"

Chen Hu's voice sounded under the tree and reached Daan's ears.

"Yang Da'an, your father is paralyzed, your uncle has his leg tied, your mother doesn't know, no matter how talented your sister is, she is just a little girl, no one can save you this time, you come down and kowtow to my dog ​​egg, from him
