Chapter 296 The Chestnuts the Dog Looks for
Several prey were roasted on the fire, and the big knife was put away and wrapped up again. It was not convenient for her to carry the knife everywhere. Not only would she be easily mistaken for a bandit, but she might even be beaten.
Wrapping it up like this layer upon layer is useless and just seems like a burden.
When the meat was almost roasted, Heidao came back hopping and wagging his tail.
Zhou Guo couldn't help but laugh at it, "You are really amazing. I didn't see you when you were working, but you came back when I was about to eat you. I'm afraid your dog nose is the best among your kind."
Heidadan didn't understand what he heard, so he ran to her, lowered his head and spit out something from his mouth. Then he barked at her twice and wagged his tail to seek credit.
"Huh?" She looked down and was stunned to find that there were three chestnuts coming out of its mouth, but they might be wild, and the chestnuts were smaller than each other.
The largest one is only the size of a thumb.
But this was enough to surprise her, "Hei Dadan, where did you get it?"
Hei Dadan barked a few times in the direction it came from, and then rushed in that direction again.
Zhou Guo said hurriedly: "Oh, no hurry, no hurry, let's eat first, it won't be too late to go after dinner."
While gnawing on the chicken wings, she glanced at the black dog happily gnawing on the chicken bone at her feet. It turned out that this black dog was quite useful, and it seemed worthwhile to pick it up.
Maybe if it is taken care of well, it can work harder than the average person and be able to support itself.
Finally, there was still half a roasted rabbit left. Thinking that Hei Dadan had done a great job, he gave it a big rabbit leg and patted its dirty head. "You have done a great job today and you also knew to bring something home. This rabbit leg is a reward for you. You must keep up the good work next time."
Hei Dadan was gnawing on a chicken bone when suddenly a large, steaming and fragrant rabbit leg fell from the sky. He was stunned and started yelling at the rabbit leg.
Zhou Guo said: "Why are you yelling? You are not a wolf. This is for you. Eat it quickly. We will leave after you finish eating."
Before leaving, she had to go up the mountain to say goodbye to Gou Ya and the others. At least they would get to know each other, and this farewell might be the last time they would see each other.
Hei Dadan looked around the rabbit leg for a long time, as if he was sure that it was his and not dropped by his owner. He happily held it and started to chew on it, even throwing away the chicken bone that he had loved so much before.
After the man and the dog finished eating, Zhou Guo packed up his things, put the three chestnuts into the bag in front of him, and took Hei Dadan back in the direction it came from, "Go forward and show me where you found the chestnuts."
A black, bold and happy dog led the way. If he saw a tree or a flower he liked along the way, he would lift his leg and urinate on it to mark it.
Zhou Guo had never raised a dog before, and was extremely confused. He didn't know where such a small dog got so much urine?
Or can they control how much they pee?
After peeing, she looked back and saw that she was still jumping forward. When she ran far away and she saw that she had not caught up with her, the little thing would sit there and wait for a while.
Zhou Guo thought to himself, Hei Dadan is quite human-like and seems to be able to understand simple words, which is really convenient.
After walking for about half an hour, Hei Dadan came running down the hill, barking. In an instant, the dog disappeared and only its howling could be heard in the valley.
……
She looked up at the tree. It was about as thick as an adult's thigh, with a lush crown. However, at this time, half of the leaves on the tree had turned yellow and half had fallen off. The bottom of the tree was covered with layer upon layer of leaves that had accumulated over the years.
There were still some yellow balls with thorns on the tips of the trees. She cut a long wooden stick, jumped onto the trunk, climbed up the branches, and came out from the treetops.
I turned my head to look for the hairy chestnuts, but the chestnuts had been plundered by various small animals in the forest, and there were actually not many left.
She moved flexibly on the tree trunks, searching everywhere, but didn't find many.
On the contrary, it was the black and bold fish under the tree who barked excitedly and jumped around, wishing he could jump three feet high, as he watched the leaves falling with the rustling sound of chestnuts dropping from time to time.
She circled the tree for a while to make sure there was no one there before she went down, "Hei Dadan, go!"
Hei Dadan roared and started pulling leaves everywhere.
She took a wooden stick and peeled the chestnuts out of the thorny balls that had been knocked down. The chestnut shells had turned brown. The largest ones were as big as a big toe, shiny and glossy, without a single worm hole, and were very pleasing to the eye.
The small ones were only slightly bigger than her little finger, and the shells were still tender. She didn't dislike them, and they were delicious and sweet when they were tender.
After peeling a dozen balls, you can harvest a handful of fruits.
She continued to dig at the ground with the stick, rubbing it with her feet as she did so. After a while, she finally crushed one.
The advantage of this method is that you don't have to work hard to peel off the thick leaves. You can just step on them to see if there are any. However, you have to control the strength well, otherwise the chestnuts will rot if you are not careful.
She wandered around under the tree for half an hour, searching every inch under the tree along the area covered by the canopy, and found a small package, weighing about one and a half pounds.
"Woof woof woof." Black Dabing was barking at her from the other side, wagging his tail.
"I know, I know. I can't forget you. Let me see how much we have found." She stepped forward and took a look. "He, there are quite a lot. You are amazing!"
"Woof woof woof." The black dog's barking sound answered her.
There is a pile of chestnuts in front of me, probably about half a pound, both big and small.
She didn't mind the bold black saliva, but she still installed a partition, thinking that she would leave it for it to eat.
She walked around the area again and didn't find any other chestnut trees, so she took it out. It made sense that if there was another one, Hei Dadan would have taken her there long ago.
She peeled the shells as she walked out, eating one for herself and feeding one to Hei Dadan. The person and the dog walked and ate the shells.
It's really comfortable.
On the way out, I met a gray rabbit. It was very fat, at least four or five kilograms.
She pointed forward, "Rabbit, go!"
He rushed out first.
Hei Dadan followed behind, howling. His front foot had not yet healed, so he became limping as soon as he started running. He rolled into a ball while running, then got up and continued running.
Seeing Zhou Guo running away, he hummed anxiously.
Zhou Guo looked back and saw it rolled into a ball again. Its silly look made her laugh.
After laughing, he turned around and ran, continuing to chase the rabbit, but this time he ran faster. All he could hear was Hei Dadan's urgent screams like a pig being slaughtered behind him.
A quarter of an hour later.
She was holding the fat rabbit and standing at the exit of the woods, waiting for a while before she heard the rustling sound of running.
After a while.
Hei Dadan popped his head out with his tongue hanging out and breathing heavily.
Zhou Guo patted its head and said, "Not bad, not bad, well done."
Black grinned boldly.
