Chapter 21 Tree Climbing
"Fat Meow, be careful!"
Li Xiaodao's pupils shrank rapidly, and she exclaimed in a flash. She threw down the vegetable basket, shook her legs and ran over.
He raised his head and looked at the 20-meter-high tree in front of him. He spread his hands in a terrified manner, preparing to pick him up.
"Fat Meow, be obedient, come down quickly."
Li Xiaodao tried his best to slow down his tone, for fear of being scared of the small figure climbing on the tree.
"Fat Meow——"
At this time, the compass also noticed the movement here. When he looked up, he saw a big tree thicker than his waist, which was climbed up by Fat Meow, and his body climbed to the branches.
Too dangerous!
It's so dangerous!
If you accidentally let go of your hand and fall, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Fat Meow, don't go up, come down quickly, let's follow you."
The compass' heart hangs up, and his voice trembles when he speaks.
It was covered by shade and quiet and cool, but he seemed to be thrown into the sun. The sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks, falling down his clothes and soaking a piece of it.
He really liked this little fat Miaoer who took him to eat buns, gave him copper coins, and taught him how to calculate.
She can't have any trouble!
The compass' head heated up, walked to the tree, put his hands on it, and kicked his legs and was about to climb the tree.
Li Xiaodao stopped the person with quick eyes and said sternly: "Don't cause trouble!"
Hearing the scolding, the compass woke up and knew that it was useless to go up at this time. He could only spread his hands like Li Xiaodao and be ready to respond at any time.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Fat Meow, who was touching the branch, heard the sound below and turned around to take a look.
A smile showed a small white teeth, and the smile bloomed on her face, just like the flowers in spring, with a pleasant atmosphere, like the sun, and suddenly laughed into the hearts of people.
Not only that, Fat Miao'er also let go of her hand with interest and waved towards Li Xiaodao and the compass.
"Be careful!" This made the two of them so scared that they held their breath.
Fat Miaoer disagreed and turned around and climbed upwards in the worried eyes of the two.
As she got taller and closer to the branches, she finally crawled and stretched out her fat little hand, reached into the bird's nest clamped between the two branches, and touched it.
There are indeed bird eggs.
Fat Miaoer was delighted.
She took out the eggs one by one, put them in her arms, and moved quickly to the tree.
"Bang!"
When she was less than one meter from the ground, she jumped and her feet landed on the ground.
"Huh!" Li Xiaodao and the compass were relieved.
"It's too dangerous, I won't be like this next time." Li Xiaodao raised his face and was scared for a moment.
The compass wiped the sweat, looked relieved, raised his hand and touched Fat Miao'er's head randomly: "I didn't expect you to be a flexible little fat man!"
"Of course!"
Fat Miaoer straightened her chest: "We are a cat. Isn't cats just flexible and agile?"
She has this advantage!
Oh, no!
She can still eat and has great strength.
"Puchi!" Li Xiaodao smiled and glanced at him: "You little guy, you think your name is Fat Meower, and you are really a cat."
Li Xiaodao shook his head and did not take Fat Meow's children's words seriously.
"Let's go, dig wild vegetables."
Li Xiaodao greeted him, pulled the compass and Fat Miaoer back to the vegetable basket, squatted down, picked up the rusty short knife and started digging it.
The three of them acted together, but it was not slow. About a quarter of an hour later, the worn-out small vegetable basket was filled, and the small backpack behind Fat Miaoer was also full.
"Go back."
Li Xiaodao carried Fat Miao'er's small backpack on her body and walked in front with big strides.
When they rushed back to the ruined temple, Liu Yeer and Wei Shu had wiped the broken table clean, and they had watered and made noodles.
Wei Shu also found a waste iron pot that he had treasured for a long time.
"Hey, is there a pot?" Fat Miao'er looked at the pot in front of her with a strange look on her face.
The pot is not big, it is very old.
There was a deep crack in the middle, which was repaired randomly and could barely be used.
“The pot is valuable.”
When Fat Miao'er heard Li Hongzao mention it, her family bought a large iron pot and spent a full 200 yuan.
"The academy has changed its new pot. I don't want this, so I picked it up."
Wei Shu explained, rolled up his sleeves, took a rag and brushed the pot inside and out. His careful appearance seemed to treat rare treasures.
"At that time, I thought, after making money, I built a stove, bought rice and noodles, and cooked myself, so that it tasted like home."
Wei Shu's voice was very light, and his dark eyes reflected his yearning for a better life.
This inadvertently outlined picture resonated with Li Xiaodao, Compass and Liu Yeer.
"When will we have a home!" Liu Ye'er sighed.
"There will always be a day." Li Xiaodao encouraged.
He raised the hand vegetable basket and the wild vegetables in the back basket, poured them out, pinched the head and tail and picked off the damaged part, and took it outside the ruined temple for cleaning.
Liu Yeer and others went over to help.
Fat Miaoer was idle, walked to the floor and sat down, took out the bird egg in her arms and put it on her palm, and counted it carefully, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven, and five eggs. It was difficult for five people to divide.
Fat Miao'er's beautiful little brow frowned and stretched out her hand to lean on her cheek. What should I do?
Suddenly, Fat Miao'er had an idea and had it!
She twisted her body and ran to the place where Liu Yeer was sleeping, and took out a small wooden bowl from the items she placed, which was what she usually used to drink water.
Fat Miaoer raised her hand to break the bird eggs, poured them in one by one, and stirred clockwise.
In this way they can make a pot of bird egg and wild vegetable soup!
One hour later.
The steaming heat spreads in the ruined temple.
"It smells so good!" Liu Ye'er sighed. It was obviously not very smelly, but she just felt the fragrance was extremely fragrant.
He reached out his hand and stretched into the pot, "Hiss~" Willow leaves retracted from being scalded, immediately placed on his earlobe, and said with his little mouth: "It's so hot!"
"Be careful." Li Xiaodao took out his homemade chopsticks, picked up the wild vegetable balls, and placed them on the table.
Fat Miaoer leaned over and counted, and there were a total of fifteen.
So he said, "We each have three."
"Okay!" Li Xiaodao nodded and thought for a while: "Steam another pot and save it to eat tomorrow, it will be convenient and easy to save."
No need to do it now!
"Okay!" This sentence was recognized by everyone, so I started to work hard again until the sun sets and the second pot of wild vegetable dumplings was finally released.
Everyone ate the fat Miaoer's bird egg, wild vegetable soup and wild vegetable dumplings.
Yes, it smells so good!
"How great would it be if I could eat wild vegetable dumplings every day!"
Li Xiaodao and his friends all felt the same in their hearts.
...
Five days later.
A rain came unexpectedly, and the heavier it became. The dilapidated temple, which had been in disrepair, instantly leaked into a sieve.
Fat Miaoer, Liu Yeer and Wei Shu could only fold the luggage of a few people and put it in the corner, and then moved the broken table over to cover it.
"Fat Meow, come here."
Liu Ye'er waved. The ground she was standing was dry and not wet by the rain.
Fat Miao'er nodded and ran over.
At this time, the door of the broken temple was pushed open and two familiar figures walked in.
Liu Ye'er looked up and exclaimed: "Xiaodao, you, your head..."
Chapter completed!
