Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 234 Adventure in the Mountains

Although I encountered an over-peak on the mountain last time, one can’t always be so unlucky!

Fu Wan was convinced that she would not encounter that thing again, so after a quick lunch, everyone got fully armed and headed up the mountain.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were naturally not brought along. After all, the situation on the mountain was complicated and it was inconvenient to bring two children along.

Li Chunhua volunteered to look after the children at home, and at the same time, she cleaned up the small fish she had caught at noon and prepared to stew them in a pot in the evening.

Ye Jianguo was the leader of this trip up the mountain. He originally had to go and look after the homestead over there. At noon, he heard Ye Lin say that they were going up the mountain in the afternoon, so he decided to go with them.

Ye Jianguo is an old hunter after all, and he is very familiar with the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain.

He followed them up the mountain, and not only did Fu Wan and the others feel at ease, but he himself felt at ease as well.

There are not many villagers on the mountain in the afternoon. Most villagers like to go up the mountain around dusk, not for hunting, but to collect firewood or dig some wild vegetables.

The chestnut tree that Fu Ming mentioned was discovered by chance when he and Ye Jianguo went up the mountain before. Because the tree was close to the deep mountains and there were many pine trees and other trees to cover it, few people noticed that there was a chestnut tree on the mountain.

After walking for a while, following Ye Jianguo and turning left and right, they finally passed a cave and found a chestnut tree full of fruits behind the cave.

“So many chestnuts!”

Fu Ming picked up a thorn ball from the ground with the tongs he had taken from Li Chunhua's kitchen.

The yellow-green thorn ball has cracked, revealing the brown chestnut inside.

Fu Ming used tongs to open the chestnut ball, and then took out the chestnuts inside with his hands.

There are three chestnuts in total, and one of them has a tail with two forked chestnut thorns at the end.

Fu Ming didn't care about the dirt and bit one of the chestnuts hard. The chestnut broke into pieces. He then peeled off the shell and fluff on the outside of the chestnut, revealing the golden flesh inside.

He was not in a hurry to eat the fruit flesh. Instead, he handed it to Fu Wan, peeled off the other half, and put it into his mouth.

Crisp and sweet, that’s the taste!

"good to eat!"

This was the first time Fu Wan had eaten chestnuts since her rebirth. To be honest, she had always felt that raw chestnuts had a unique flavor.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin originally just wanted to pick chestnuts, but now seeing Fu Wan and her brother eating them so happily, they picked up one to try.

Although these raw chestnuts are delicious, the fuzzy shell on the outside is really difficult to peel.

It’s better to pick up all these chestnuts first. Boiled and fried chestnuts are also very fragrant!

Everyone was busy working. At this time, apart from the sound of the wind, the only sounds in the forest were the occasional chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.

Fu Wan soon filled her snakeskin bag to almost half full, and had picked up almost all the chestnuts here.

So she took the tongs and dragged the snakeskin bag to the other side of the chestnut tree. There were also many chestnuts on the ground on the other side, and many chestnuts were even scattered directly on the ground, so Fu Wan didn't need to pick out the chestnut balls at all.

That's when the chestnuts are ripe, the thorn balls crack open, and then the chestnuts fall directly to the ground.

Fu Wan simply threw the tongs aside and bent down to pick up chestnuts on the ground.

As she was picking, she saw a chestnut as big as an egg not far in front of her. Its dark brown outer shell looked very beautiful in the sunlight.

Just as she was about to pick up the chestnut, she felt a flash before her eyes, and a furry thing passed by, and the chestnut on the ground disappeared.

? ? ? ?

Haunted in broad daylight?!

Immediately afterwards, Fu Wan heard a rustling sound. She looked and saw the big tail hiding behind the leaves.

It's so funny. This thief only cares about his head and not his butt when hiding?

Maybe because there was no sound from Fu Wan for a long time, the little guy in the tree slowly turned around, hiding his big furry tail, and revealing his true face.

It was a little brown squirrel.

It held the big chestnut in its two paws and looked warily at Fu Wan's curious gaze.

Just as Fu Wan was about to say hello to it, she heard a chestnut fall from the tree with a clatter, and then landed at Fu Wan's feet.

Hi, this chestnut looks familiar!

Before Fu Wan could pick up the chestnut, the squirrel on the tree was so anxious that it didn't even care about being afraid. It squeaked so loudly that Fu Ming and others nearby could hear the noise.

"Awan, what's wrong?"

Fu Wan waved her hand and pointed to the tree quietly, "It's okay, I just ran into a squirrel!"

As for squirrels, Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin have seen them many times, so they are nothing special.

Fu Ming leaned over to take a look, but all he saw was the squirrel jumping up and down in the tree in a hurry.

"This squirrel is very fierce, Awan, you better be careful."

"It's not fierce, it's anxious."

Fu Wan opened her hands, and Fu Ming took a look and exclaimed, "What a big chestnut!"

"No wonder it's so anxious. This chestnut is probably worth a whole meal for it."

That’s right, but Fu Wan doesn’t lack this chestnut. This chestnut is wild. It not only belongs to humans, but also to animals in the mountains and forests.

Fu Wan stood on tiptoe, picked up the chestnut and shook it.

"Little guy, I put it here for you!"

After she finished speaking, she placed the chestnut on a tree branch. The little squirrel hesitated for two seconds, and when he saw Fu Wan walking away, he mustered up his courage, ran over, hugged the chestnut in his arms, and then quickly disappeared from the tree.

Fu Wan had actually been secretly glancing at this side. She could see clearly that the little squirrel didn't disappear in the tree. Instead, it dug a hole in the trunk and hid in the hole.

Quite interesting!

Just when she was in a good mood, a strange cry suddenly sounded in Fu Wan's ears.

How can I describe this sound? It's a woooo-woooo sound, different from the calls of other animals, and a bit like the cry of a newborn baby.

It even sounds a bit mournful.

Ye Jianguo stood up first and listened to the shout with a serious expression on his face.

"I'm afraid something might be hurt."

It is impossible for ordinary animals to cry so miserably.

"Uncle, why don't we look for it? This sound is really creepy."

At this time, the creature's cries became more and more shrill, even startling the squirrels in the tree, and some of them even ran down the tree.

Seeing that Fu Wan and the others were still standing there motionless, the squirrel became a little anxious. It rushed to a place less than one meter away from Fu Wan and started squeaking.

Does it know where this thing is?

Fu Wan was a little surprised and walked towards the squirrel unconsciously.

When the squirrel saw Fu Wan coming, it also started to move, but instead of running up the tree, it jumped into the depths of the jungle.

If it sees that Fu Wan doesn't follow, it will stop and wait.

"This squirrel is really leading us there, Uncle. Has this ever happened to you?"

Ye Jianguo shook his head. He had been hunting for half his life, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin followed Fu Wan with hatchets in their hands. They followed the squirrel quickly through the jungle. When the squirrel stopped again, they were stunned by the scene before them.
