After being pushed to the side, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, still not in a hurry to discover the lemons they had planted at the foot of the slope yesterday.
They only looked at the tree.
Everyone in the village came here to collect firewood. How could there be so much dry wood for their family? Erfu could not get any dry wood, so he used a saw or a chopper to cut off some branches that were not needed by the tree.
Everyone knew that if the entire tree was cut down, there would be no more firewood left. Therefore, unless the family needed wood to make something, they would not cut down the entire tree. Usually, people would not cut down the entire tree as well. At most, they would clean the branches and bring them back to be used as firewood.
Some of the branches were still very thick and needed to be chopped by an ax.
In the past, they would burn this kind of firewood at home. Now, they would try their best to bring this kind of good firewood to their shop in town for the kitchen in the shop.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, move aside. I’m going to kick you if you come too close.” Xue Erfu, who was afraid of hitting the two children, shouted at them. He had already sawed a branch off the tree.
Xue Yan quickly brought Jiang Yue away from the tree and stood far away from it.
“Mother, you should stand to the side too.” Xue Erfu estimated for a moment and felt that it might hit his mother, so he spoke again.
“Sure.” Liu Guixia stopped picking up firewood and stood to the side.
Only then did Xue Erfu grab the other thick branch above his head tightly with one hand to stabilize himself. Then, he raised his leg and kicked the branch that was almost sawed off.
This branch was quite thick. After being kicked by Xue Erfu with such force, it was broken from the sawed place, leaving only the bark to connect them together.
However, the tree bark could not bear much weight. The broken branch fell heavily to the ground not long after.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were already standing far away, so they were safe. Jiang Yue looked back and could see the slope.
There were many small trees growing at the bottom of the slope. They were all sticking out. From where she was standing, she could see the tops of those small trees.
Between the small trees, one could faintly see something golden.
If one didn’t pay close attention, they wouldn’t be able to see it.
It was a perfect cover.
Jiang Yue pointed there and said to Liu Guixia, who was closest to her and Xue
Yan, “What’s that? Something over there is golden.”
Xue Yan hurriedly looked in the direction of Jiang Yue’s finger, lest her family realized that something was wrong.
Liu Guixia had already looked over. There was a tree blocking her way, so she didn’t see it. She walked to Jiang Yue’s side to take a look. She was much taller than Jiang Yue. “Really?” Then, she quickly shouted to Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu on the tree, “Look at the tree. What’s that? Why is it so golden?”
Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu looked over, but they didn’t know what it was either.
Xue Erfu was still very curious. He had already climbed very high and saw something that was unknown and bright. He quickly came down from the tree and walked over with long legs. “I’ll go take a look.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan followed him.
Liu Guixia also went to take a look.
Only Xue Dafu wasn’t curious at all. He thought they might just be random wilderness in the mountains. There was nothing to see. He continued to gather firewood at the side.
They came to the slope.
“Why are there so many small trees down here?” Xue Erfu was a little surprised. The surrounding trees were quite big, and there were many small trees at the bottom of the slope..
