After whispering to her mother for a while, He Xiner made some more salt and pepper, dried chili powder and cumin, wrapped them in paper, and happily went to Dongkuoyuan.
Ye Xusheng was already ready. He slung the cloth bag across his body and the two of them left Ye's house.
"Would you like to call Brother Zhang first?"
"No, Dongqiang said he would go up the mountain by himself."
"Then go and call Yuanyuan first, and then go to Cuizhi's house."
"Um."
The two people walked leisurely on the country road.
The sky is clear, the clouds are light and the wind is light, which is really a good weather for playing.
The two turned out of the alley and met Yuanyuan and Cuizhi who were looking for them.
"Big cousin"
"Brother Ye"
The two of them greeted each other, and Ye Yuanyuan squinted at Xiner with her almond-shaped eyes, "You must be procrastinating again. It's almost noon before you go out."
Scratching her head, He Xiner smiled like a fool, "Hehe, the one who knows me is Sister Yuanyuan~"
"Pfft~"
Ye Yuanyuan and Guan Cuizhi couldn't help laughing.
"The bad girl is just a thick-skinned person~"
"Haha, she only cares about beauty. Look at this handsome guy with a shaved face!"
He Xiner raised her eyebrows with a look of dismay on her face, "A beautiful mood starts with beautiful makeup."
"Hey, there are a lot of fallacies."
Ye Yuanyuan laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, and Guan Cuizhi also covered her mouth in laughter.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Ye Xusheng chuckled, "It will really be noon if we don't leave."
"Yes, yes, let's hurry up."
After hearing what her cousin said, Ye Yuanyuan was really in a hurry. She was still looking forward to eating roast chicken. She couldn't help but say something at that moment. She pulled He Xiner with one hand and Guan Cuizhi with the other, and walked towards the back mountain in a hurry.
Shaking his head, Ye Xusheng laughed.
Running all the way, I finally ran out of breath. Seeing that I had walked most of the way, He Xiner was panting and waved her hands, "No, I have to take a rest~"
Guan Cuizhi and Ye Yuanyuan were already tired, so they both found a clean stone to sit down and rest.
Ye Xusheng took out the water bag and handed it to He Xiner, "Drink some water."
"Huh~Thank you, cousin."
After taking the water bag, He Xiner looked at her two friends first.
"Have you two brought water?"
"Bring it, bring it."
The autumn breeze is cool and refreshing.
After drinking the water, He Xiner admired everything in front of her with great interest. It was late autumn, the wind blew, and green and yellow leaves fluttered on the ground in a thick layer.
Suddenly thinking of what she said last time about hunting bears and tigers, He Xiner raised her head and looked at Ye Xusheng, "Cousin, are there bears and tigers in the mountains?"
"Does Xin'er also want big brother to hunt bears or tigers?"
Ye Xusheng smiled and joked.
"No, no, I don't think so."
She was not that obsessed with money. He Xiner waved her hands and said anxiously, "I don't want my cousin to take risks."
"Well, big brother knows."
Patting her head, Ye Xusheng looked gentle.
"Xin'er, what bear or tiger are you talking about?"
The stone Ye Yuanyuan was sitting on was a few steps away, so he couldn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, I'm just afraid of ferocious animals in the mountains."
"I heard from my father that there were often howls of wolves in the mountains in the past few years. There were also blind bears, but tigers didn't know about it. I haven't heard the howls of wolves in the past two years, but people don't go into the mountains easily."
Guan Cuizhi was a little scared by what they said, and rubbed her arms, "Don't touch the blind bear."
She and He Xiner were sitting facing each other. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw He Xiner's face changed, her eyes widened with a look of extreme horror, and Guan Cuizhi's hair immediately stood up.
"What, what, what's wrong?"
Ye Yuanyuan was facing Guan Cuizhi in the same direction. Although they were a few steps away, they were so frightened by He Xiner's expression that they stiffened their necks and did not dare to move.
She was afraid that there would be a monster behind her that would open its mouth and eat her~
"Cui, Cuizhi, you, behind you..."
Stretching out her little hand and pointing tremblingly behind Guan Cuizhi, He Xiner's face was full of panic, and she stumbled when she spoke~
