Chapter 36 Wild Eggs

The next day, the three arbiters called together the fifteen team leaders to discuss the important matter of digging canals to divert water.

Each group was assigned a section of canal digging task, and the locations of two water storage pits from north to south were designated, and each group sent people to dig together.

The water channel is about 500 meters away from the east side of Sun City. It is located in a low-lying area according to the undulations of the terrain and is winding.

The place that the second group wanted to dig was a section within their area, and Hua Hong was called away in the afternoon.

Lin Yan was left at home, roasting chestnuts for Yeya and instilling new knowledge into him.

Yeya now knows a lot of things, "After dinner, let's go see the land you planted."

In the past few days, she went to the fields whenever she had time, and she took it very seriously. Yeya wanted to see with her own eyes that it was really possible for Lin Yan to say that farming could replace hunting.

If it were true, his family would also open up wasteland for farming.

"Okay." Lin Yan was very happy. "That piece of land is still too small. Half of it is planted with roe, and the remaining part is occupied by hairy chestnut trees. Plant a few more fruit trees and it will be full."

"When will the fruit trees bear fruit?"

Lin Yan was stunned, "Let's wait and see how the fruit trees grow. It will take a few years at least."

"It's been such a long time. By then we've all grown up and can go out to pick fruits to eat." Yeya frowned, feeling that it took too long.

"You won't be ten years old in a few years. How can you go out?" Lin Yan disagreed. "When the fruit trees grow and bear fruit, you can pick them whenever you want. How convenient."

"Yeah, it's convenient, but you have to wait a few years to eat it. These hairy chestnuts are delicious, can you eat them next year?" Ye Ya kept eating with his small mouth, finishing a big chestnut in a few mouthfuls.

It's not the first time he's eaten it, but he can't get enough.

After the two little people finished eating the chestnuts, they walked westward with their calves. When they walked along Eighth Street, they could see the conditions in the fields.

Mu Shi happened to take advantage of the break to take a look at the two of them, and saw that they had already passed several houses. He hurriedly chased after them.

"Yeya, Lin Yan, where are you going?"

"Go to Lin Yan's field." Yeya looked at his father and pulled Lin Yan to continue walking.

"Who told you to run around? You can't go without adults watching." Mu Shi grabbed the two of them and started to walk back.

Yeya didn't want to go back like this, and begged: "Dad, can you take us there?"

Lin Yan also blinked and looked at Mu Shi. There was nothing wrong with staying at home. She preferred going outside. If possible, she would like to go further.

Mu Shi wanted to go home and make baskets, which was related to his livelihood.

Ye Ya rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, you happen to need canes too, let's go get some together, okay? Lin Yan and I will just stay in the fields and not run around."

Mu Shi looked to the west. It was not far from the house. There should be nothing wrong. He nodded and agreed, and walked west with the two little people.

Only a few days later, the roe hemp planted by Lin Yan had sprouted, but the fruit trees were silent.

The weeds in the ground grew again, and she began to pull them out.

Yeya also helped.

The wood and rocks are made of rattan on the edge of the field. This is a pika plain, and there are bushes everywhere. Some bushes are so dense that no one can get through.

Not long after, Mu Shi got a lot of rattan and was about to call it a day and go home. When he turned around, the two little people disappeared.

He was startled and shouted: "Yeya, Lin Yan, where are you?"

"Dad, we are here."

The voice of Ye Ya came from the jungle not far away, and Mu Shi hurriedly followed the sound to find it.

Seeing them hiding in the forest, Mu Shi's heart dropped and he blamed: "Why didn't you tell me when you came here? I was worried to death."

Ye Ya lowered her head and admitted her mistake obediently, "Dad, it was our fault. We will never do this again."

Lin Yan huddled behind Ye Ya and pretended that nothing happened. Although Mu Shi had a good temper, they had indeed done something wrong.

Huahong and Ye Zi looked closely at her and Yeya. If they knew that Mu Shi was not paying attention, they would definitely blame Mu Shi.

What can Mu Shi do to them? They cannot hit or scold them. They have a good attitude towards admitting their mistakes and can only choose to accept them.

"go home."

Ye Ya and Lin Yan immediately looked up at him, and Mu Shi's heart tightened. Did he not want to go back?

"Dad, there is a nest of wild eggs over there. They are delicious. Can we take them home together?" Yeya pointed in one direction.

"What are wild eggs?" Mu Shi looked along Ye Ya's hand and saw a patch of weeds that were taller than a person and could not see anything.

"Pheasant eggs are eggs laid by pheasants, and they are delicious." Yeya looked greedy. He had never seen one before, but Lin Yan said they were delicious.

Everything she found was delicious, and Yeya wanted to try it. Now, the wild egg was three meters away, and the opportunity was right in front of her, so she couldn't miss it.

Mu Shi looked over there hesitantly. The grass and trees were too lush. If there was something inside, it would be too late to run away. He said, "You can't see anything. Come here quickly and go home."

Yeya became anxious and pushed Lin Yan, "Dad, Lin Yan said there are wild eggs there, there must be some. If you don't want to go look for them, I'll go there myself."

Mu Shi hurriedly grabbed Ye Ya and said, "It's all grass. Where are the wild eggs? Go back quickly. The grass here is too high and it's not safe inside."

Lin Yan said in time: "Mu Shi, there are really wild eggs, right there. There is nothing else in the grass. It's very safe."

She could see there with her mental power. She had checked this area and found that there were no insects or snakes. As long as she went there, she could pick up a nest of wild eggs. There were twelve in total. Each one was as big as her fist.

Have a hearty meal.

This was the first time she had seen wild eggs, so of course she couldn't let them go.

Mu Shi paused, Lin Yan's words stopped him, "Is it really safe?"

"It's really safe. Please take us there with you." Lin Yan looked sure and almost patted his chest to assure himself.

In fact, her mental power is always paying attention to her surroundings, and she can immediately detect something approaching.

After hesitating for a while, Mu Shi believed Lin Yan. He walked at the front, guarding Ye Ya and Lin Yan behind him, and seriously warned: "Follow me closely, don't run around."

The two little men nodded quickly and promised that they would be obedient.

Mu Shi wielded his stone knife and chopped down the bushes blocking the road, barely allowing people to pass.

It took them nearly twenty minutes to walk just a few meters.

Lin Yan followed behind, complaining in his mind that the tools were still weak. If he had a sharp machete, this little bush would be nothing.

It is also because the bushes in the wasteland have grown too densely, making it very difficult to open up wasteland in the future.

Don't think too much, as the future will look bleak just by thinking about it.

Overcoming the obstacles, the three of them finally saw a nest hidden in the weeds. If they hadn't looked carefully, they wouldn't have been able to find it.

Mu Shi glanced at Lin Yan thoughtfully, how did she find out?

They all came close to it and had to look carefully to see it.

Yeya threw herself on the ground and picked up a wild egg. "It's slippery and feels very brittle. It breaks when you pinch it."

"Don't crush it. If it breaks, you can only eat it raw. The cooked one is delicious." Lin Yan stopped him in a hurry, fearing that the wild bud would crush the egg.
