He dared not go out to dig soil and bags with his friends, and Qin Xiaoxiao's life was less fun.

Every day, I am not only feeding rabbits and eating radish leaves and straw, but I am also chasing them by rhubarb. Most of the time, I sit side by side with Sanbao at the door of the yard, staring blankly at the blue sky that is so washed away.

Looking at his younger brother and sister's bored look, Dabao quietly said, "Ergou and I went up the mountain to pick up firewood, will you go?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of firewood under the eaves and wondered: "There is a lot of firewood at home, why do you still have to pick it up?"

Dabao looked left and right, and was sure that the adults could not hear it, so he whispered: "We are going to bring sweet potatoes and grains to the mountain to pick up firewood and roast them, which is so delicious!"

Qin Xiaoxiao immediately became interested: "Go, I'll go!"

After winter began, the little girl kept waiting in front of the stove and asked the adults to roast sweet potatoes and grilled grains for her. It was indeed delicious, but she had never seen roasted sweet potatoes and grilled grains in the wild. She thought it was fun.

As for the Kuroyaki on the mountain, after two intimate contacts, she was no longer so scared. At worst, she could coax them more and get rubbed with fur.

"Go, I'll go too!" Sanbao also responded actively, fearing that his brother and sister would leave him behind.

So the brother and sister took four or five sweet potatoes from the hole where the sweet potatoes were stored while the adults were not paying attention, and grabbed about half a pound of rice from the cloth bag.

These things have been enough for the three of them to bake for a long time, so they dare not take them too much, for fear that adults will be scolded if they find out.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt sorry for the bleakness that could only eat straw every day, so he opened the shed and let it go up the mountain. Maybe he could find cold-resistant plants to satisfy his cravings.

Not to mention Dahuang, after driving away a few domestic cats that came up to touch, he ran away like a wild horse that had broken away from his reins.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ergou and the other five had already been waiting.

When they saw Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao, they didn't dislike him. They just joked about Dabao, saying that he was like an old mother and never forgot his younger brother and sister wherever he went.

A group of eight people walked slowly up the mountain along the mountain path. Compared to the summer when the grass and trees are quite hindered, it is easier to go up the mountain at this time. There is no need to worry about being bitten by snakes and insects hidden in the grass, nor do I have to worry about being scratched by thorns and exposed flesh.

After walking a long mountain road, just when Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao were about to walk, they were taken to a stream by Dabao and others.

The source of this stream is deep in the mountains, and the end is Qinghu. The stream is very small, with about three feet wide at the widest point and less than one foot narrowest point. If you play here, you don’t have to worry about falling in and not being able to get up.

Therefore, Dabao and others came to the mountain to bake things, and most of them chose to be by the stream to facilitate cleaning and extinguishing fires.

"Okay, let's be here!" Dabao looked around and chose a flat and sheltered area: "Be careful when roasting things later, don't bring the fire to the mountain."

The weather is dry and the matter is prone to wildfire.

"It's not the first time I'm baking something in the mountains, so you have to say." Others had no objection, and after putting down the sweet potatoes and other items she brought, they spread all over the stream to pick up firewood.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao also followed obediently, and followed them to see what they picked up.

Dahuang and Meme came here for the first time, and they were alert to the east and west to see if there was any potential danger.

After finding it was safe, Mime looked for something to eat everywhere. Rhubarb seemed to smell the prey and kept sniffing back and forth in one place. It kept remembering its responsibilities and never stayed away from Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care about them either. After a while, he picked up a pile of dry branches and pulled a lot of yellow pine needles on the ground. The same was true for everyone else. The firewood he picked up reached half a person's height, which was enough to burn for a long time.

Ergou took out the flints he had touched from home and lit the dry pine needles. Soon the low fire turned into a big fire, and the crackling heat was burning vigorously.

Qin Xiaoxiao's little face was roasted red. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she subconsciously took a few steps back, picked up a sweet potato and threw it into the fire far away.

"Sister, wait a moment, you can't throw it away now." Dabao quickly stopped: "The sweet potatoes roasted from this fire are easy to burn. Let's wait until the flames are extinguished and roast them with the remaining fire. This way the sweet potatoes roasted will taste fragrant."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that there was still some specialty to roast a sweet potato, so he had to put it down: "Big brother, if the flame is extinguished, you teach me how to roast it, I want to roast the sweet potatoes myself."

Dabao responded: "No problem, let's bury the sweet potatoes together later, and eat them together when they are ripe." As he said that, he took out a small handful of rice grains from the small cloth bag and placed them on the stones next to the fire.

Seeing this, others also put the rice, soybeans, corn kernels, etc. they brought with them, and they didn't have to tell who was who they were after they exploded. They just had to eat them.

Not long after, the rice and corn kernels exploded one by one, and the soybean kernels were roasted, emitting a special fragrance, which soon attracted the greed of the children.

"Sister, Sanbao, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold." Dabao didn't care about the hotness, grabbed a handful and placed it on another clean stone, and called his younger brother and sister to come and eat it.

Looking at the roasted charred soybeans, the rice grains as white as snow and the tempting yellow corn kernels, Qin Xiaoxiao decisively chose the corn kernels that looked more fragrant and delicious. She picked one and put it in her mouth, and the burnt aroma of the corn suddenly spread: "Well, it's delicious!"

Dabao also picked up one and threw it into his mouth, saying proudly: "Of course, it's much better than what is bursting out in our stove!"

Qin Xiaoxiao lit his head to express his approval, and began to pick snow-white rice grains to eat. After finding that they were as fragrant as corn grains, he picked several more, peeled off its shell, opened his mouth and ate them together.

Sanbao also enjoyed eating it. Seeing that his cousin didn’t like eating soybeans, he liked to eat corn kernels more. He silently put the corn kernels alone and specially picked the charred soybeans to eat.

Qin Xiaoxiao discovered it and thought the soybeans were delicious, so he picked up one and threw it into his mouth. He found that it tasted good. He ate several of them in a row and stuffed a few corn kernels to Sanbao: "The corn kernels are delicious, so you can't be picky about food."

Ergou laughed: "You are picky about food yourself, and you are so embarrassed to talk about the Three Treasures."

The others looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, wanting to see how the little girl defended her.

Qin Xiaoxiao did not disappoint them, and patted Sanbao's head and said, "I am my sister, of course I can say my younger brother!"

Ergou was amused by her fallacies and encouraged Dabao: "Go and tell your sister not to be picky about food, it depends on what your sister says."

Dabao was not as bored as them. Seeing that the fire was smaller and the fire ash left was not enough to roast sweet potatoes, he added a handful of firewood to it: "If you are idle, just use a slingshot to hit a few birds to roast it, don't just think about making my sister cry."

Ergou cut it and took out a few sweet potatoes he brought: "It's such a cold day, I can't even see a few birds, so where can I go to hit me? Besides, my slingshot is at home, and I can't even beat me if I want to."

Another child named Shuanzi smiled and said, "Why don't you say you were shooting with a slingshot and shooting at your father's bird, making your father howl and howl, and confiscate the slingshot?"

Dabao and others didn't know about this. When they first heard Shuanzi talk about it, they looked at Ergou in shock: "It's a good thing that you are your father's only son. It's because your father didn't crippled you, it really hurts you!"

Ergou's face turned red and he kicked Shuanzi on the butt: "Sister Xiaoxiao is still here, why are you yelling at me?"

Shuanzi covered his butt and hid behind Dabao: "Don't block me with Xiaoxiao sister, Xiaoxiao sister doesn't understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Brother Ergou's father raised a bird? Isn't the bird dead?"

"Puff, haha!" Shuanzi and others burst out laughing. Seeing Ergou's face getting redder and redder, they were so much more laughing that they couldn't straighten their waists.

Only Dabao and Ergou did not laugh, but rushed over and beat Shuanzi: "I told you to talk nonsense, let you yell around, and I will lead my sister (Xiaoxiao sister)!"

Shuanzi was determined to resist, but his fists could not match four hands. He was quickly disguised by Dabao and Ergou and begged for mercy, saying that he would never talk nonsense again, so they were let go.

Seeing that Brother Shuanzi was so miserable, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to ask any more curiosity about the birds raised by Brother Ergou, for fear that his brothers would deal with him if he asked him again.

"Ah-Dahuang, maimei, you two bad guys actually ate all the things!"

Without having fun, the few people focused on roasted rice, roasted corn, and soybeans, but found that what they had put on the stone was eaten by the rhubarb that they had touched at some point.

It was not enough to eat the roasted stuff. Meimei's head was buried in the backpack and she began to steal raw sweet potatoes.

"Meimei, you can't eat it!" Qin Xiaoxiao jumped in an anxious manner, and quickly ran over to pinch Meimei's ear and dragged it aside: "You greedy guy, you know how to do bad things!"

The eldest brother doesn’t eat what he brought, so he went to steal the Ergou brother and his friends. Your face is too thick-skinned!

"Mei~" Meimei was eating sweet sweet potatoes with relish, not knowing what their skin was.

Dabao was very embarrassed. He knew that Meimei had stolen one of Ergou's sweet potatoes, so he gave him one of the sweet potatoes he brought.

Ergou didn't want to: "I brought several, it doesn't matter if I miss one."

Dabao knew that he didn't care about sweet potatoes, but he didn't want to take advantage of it. He poured all the remaining rice grains next to the fire: "Next time I come to the mountain to roast things, I'll bring more of them."

Ergou and others waved their hands: "Darwin and Mimee give us courage. They will eat this little thing, so you don't have to take it to heart."

When Dahuang saw that the little master was teaching his friend a lesson, she realized that he had done something bad. She was probably afraid that the little master would settle the score with him, so she sneaked behind a big stone more than ten feet away with her tail and hid behind.

After Qin Xiaoxiao finished teaching me a lesson, he didn't see Dahuang, so he knew that this guy had sneaked away and made up his mind to clean up it after he got home.

Mime was taught a lesson, and he followed Qin Xiaoxiao like a sheep, obviously remembering to eat but not to beat him, and wanted to eat with her.

Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pinch its ears and let it not roam around the fire, so as not to be eaten up by it if the things were not baked.

After the other people's corn kernels and soybeans were almost half roasted, the accumulated ash was finally enough to bury the sweet potatoes. Everyone took out their respective sweet potatoes and buried them all in the fire. Then they set up a pile of fire next to them, and continued to roast the remaining corn kernels and soybeans, and then roasted the fire to warm their bodies.

At this moment, Dahuang, who was hiding behind the big stone, suddenly discovered something and ran towards Qin Xiaoxiao while barking wildly.

The children were shocked and picked up wooden sticks and other objects on the ground, looking vigilantly at the direction of Dahuang's barking, afraid that there would be beasts and other things to come here.

"Meow--" A thick cat meow came from the hillside, followed by a group of cat meows: "Meow~"

"Oh, it's the Black Wild Climb!" Dabao breathed a sigh of relief: "These Black Wild Climbs are so thieves. We only got here for half an hour, and they came over."

Ergou smiled and said, "The nose of the black rooster is so good that he must have recorded the smell of Xiaoxiao sister."

Shuanzi said: "This mountain is not far from the top of the mountain they are waiting for. Maybe there are black wild raccoons hunting nearby and they found Xiaoxiao sister."

Qin Xiaoxiao was a little nervous and subconsciously hid behind Dabao: "Big brother, I haven't been to see Big Cat for a long time. Will Big Cat bite me when I get angry?"

Dabao felt his heart thrust: "Yes, probably not. If they dare to bite you, my brother will help you beat them." As he said that, he tightly grasped the wooden stick in his hand.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, Sanbao protects you!" Sanbao held the little cousin's hand tightly, comforted her like a little adult, and blocked her from left and right.

Ergou and others were frightened by the reaction of the three brothers and sisters, afraid that Hei Yeli would come to seek revenge, so they quickly picked up the wooden stick they put down again. Although it may not be useful, it can be more courageous!

As it turned out, they thought too much, and it was too late for Hei Yeli to please Qin Xiaoxiao, so she would get angry because she hadn't been up the mountain for several months.

"Meow~" Cubby ignored Dahuang's barking and was the first to run towards Qin Xiaoxiao. I'm afraid that this look of joy may not necessarily be there when I see my own mother.

There were only a dozen black wild raccoons following it, far less than the previous two times. As Shuanzi said, they hunted and discovered Qin Xiaoxiao on the nearby hills. Other black wild raccoons should be elsewhere.

One of the black wild raccoons was still holding a pheasant in his mouth. He ran to Qin Xiaoxiao and spit the pheasant on the ground, shook his tail and screamed at her, rubbing his hair on the waist and abdomen.

Realizing that they were not angry or malicious, Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and took the initiative to touch their heads. She found that the touch was better than the previous two times. She looked carefully and suddenly realized: "What have you eaten in the past few months? Why have you gained weight?"

"Meow~" Hei Yeli couldn't understand human words, and she kept screaming happily under Qin Xiaoxiao's little claws.

Chouhu even relied on being the "leader" and lay directly in Qin Xiaoxiao's arms, revealing his round belly.

"Sister, they are like rhubarb. They will look fat if they change into thicker hair in winter. Otherwise, they will be so cold in the mountains, so how can they handle it?" Dabao resisted the itchy hands and explained to the Kuroyaki and others.

Qin Xiaoxiao's little claws fell on Heiyeli's soft belly, and then touched its slightly cold claws along his belly: "They don't have a house to live in, and they won't make fires. It's so pitiful!"
