C31 Hornet's nest
Since the other animals were not harmed, Yang Xiao and the others were not easy to capture. Yang Xiao led the two sisters on a walk for a long time before finally finding a wild beehive at the bottom of a cliff. It was around twenty meters away from the ground, and they were about to climb up … Yang Xiao looked and frowned.
"Yang Xiao, just climb up." Nona, on the other hand, did not hold back and directly explained the method. She even thought that Yang Xiao was even stupider than she was, and her big eyes revealed a pleased look.
"That's right, that's right. Not bad." Yang Xiao glared at the two lolis and asked, "Which one of you is going to climb up there? Let me see? "
"We... We are still young, so we don't plan on competing with you for credit. " Nona smiled slyly as she glanced at the twenty meters high nest. The only reason they could find out was because of Yang Xiao's high power telescope. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to see the beehive from twenty meters away.
"Hmph, let's go up and take a look first." Yang Xiao glared at them, and when the two sisters saw that Yang Xiao was angry, they immediately shut their mouths. If Yang Xiao were to say he wanted to go up and take a look, then they would have to change the direction and look for the mountain path to climb up the cliff.
Not long after leaving, Yang Xiao even used a ruler to calculate the height of the cliff. The two sisters were filled with admiration and pestered Yang Xiao to teach them. Actually, this kind of calculation method, was already known to junior high school students in the modern society. It was nothing strange, but in this era, Yang Xiao had become a god-like existence.
After resting for a few times and finally reaching the top of the cliff, Yang Xiao gasped for breath as he asked the two sisters who were playing around: "How long is the rope we brought? Do you remember? "
"It should be around seven hundred feet, right?" Nona's eyes were hazy as she looked at Eighth Sister.
"It's a hundred and fifty meters." Eighth Sister remembered clearly that she opened her mouth immediately.
"Hmm, Eighth Sister is really smart. I remember her very clearly." Yang Xiao timely praised Eighth Sister, "Okay Eighth Sister, help me take out the rope, we need to fix it."
"Oh." Eighth sister and Ninth sister immediately took out the rope. The material of the rope was good, it was made from cow tendons, and there was no possibility of it breaking. Even with Yang Xiao's 150 jin body, he could still support it.
Before Yang Xiao came, he had already tried to use this rope. Otherwise, if he suddenly snapped it while he was in midair … His little life was lost right below this cliff. The three of them tied the rope to a large pine tree, and after pulling at it with their hands and feeling that it was strong enough, they let it down.
Yang Xiao used his binoculars to look and sure enough, the rope just happened to pass by the wild beehive. Yang Xiao took out the climbing equipment that he had prepared beforehand, and it was a clip that was specially made to hold on to the rope. Yang Xiao tied the clip to his waist and placed his body together with the rope, until he arrived at the edge of the cliff.
"Yang Xiao, you... Are you really going down? " Eighth Sister did not dare to approach the edge of the cliff. Just now, when she was pulled by Yang Xiao to look downwards, she felt that her head was spinning, and if it were not for Yang Xiao pulling her, she would probably have fallen off. If... In case … What should he do?
"Yang Xiao, you better not go down there. Let's go look somewhere else, Si Niang won't mind." Nona tried to persuade him.
"No, for Fourth Mother's sake, I must pick some wild honey." Yang Xiao's attitude was firm. Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister were suddenly moved by the deep affection Yang Xiao had for Fourth Mother. Tears welled up in their eyes as they reached out to grab Yang Xiao's hand and gently caressed him.
"Yang Xiao, you... You must be careful. " Nona originally wanted to say, let me go down, but after looking at the deep cliff, she didn't dare to say those words out loud.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Seeing the two sisters being so timid, Yang Xiao knew that it was impossible to get them to go down. He just warned them: "Remember, after I plucked out the wild beehives, you two immediately hide and cover your heads. Otherwise, you two will be very miserable."
Yang Xiao waved his hands and with a smile on his face, he jumped out of the cliff. His figure rapidly descended in front of the two sisters and disappeared in an instant.
"Ah?" Yang Xiao! " The two sisters called out in unison, but they did not dare to approach the edge of the cliff.
Of course, Yang Xiao knew that he had given the two sisters a shocking effect. As he chuckled in his heart, he gently placed the clip in his hand down, and his body slowly descended. After about seven to eight minutes, he was only twenty feet away from the nest.
Yang Xiao took out a cloth bag from his waist and held it with his right hand while lowering the clip with his left hand. His speed slowed down and a cloth that only revealed his eyes was put on his head. He had arrived!
When he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, Yang Xiao held onto the clip tightly, slowing his descent and landing steadily on the ground. Because he was wearing a protective set, he was not stung by the wild bees this time, so he happily laughed out loud and let go of the cloth bag. The bees inside flew out, and Yang Xiao stepped on them repeatedly as they were beaten to death by him, causing Yang Xiao to take out a small bottle and slowly collect the honey inside.
After a long time, the nectar gathering was still a delicate process. Yang Xiao did not dare show his hands and could only wear his gloves and continue with his complicated work.
"Alright, let's put down the rope." The two sisters did not dare look down, and did not know if Yang Xiao had finished his work. Hearing this shout, they immediately became happy and immediately untied the knot on the pine tree. Yang Xiao studied the bottle and shook it a little. There was not much honey left, he had to continue with his work.
"You can come down. We'll continue to look elsewhere." Yang Xiao packed the ropes, the two sisters walked up the mountain at a pretty fast speed, and arrived beside Yang Xiao before long.
"Yang Xiao, how is it? Did you pick too much honey? " Nona took the honey bottle hurriedly and shook it a little. She felt that there weren't many in it. Suddenly, her face turned pale and she became a bit disappointed.
"Not many. But, for there to be so many in one beehive, that's pretty good." Yang Xiao took the bottle from Nona's hands, "Let's go, keep looking. Do you think it's that easy to obtain Ye's honey?"
"Yang Xiao, so harvesting wild honey is so hard. After spending so much effort to pluck only this little, when will you be able to fill the bottle up?" Eighth sister mumbled and continued to walk forward.
"Filled? "Hmph, to be able to harvest half a bottle today, it is already enough to burn incense!" Yang Xiao glared at Eighth Sister, "Do you think we should just fill them up with water so quickly?"
"Yang Xiao..." Eighth Sister was scolded and called out, "I didn't know it would be so difficult to gather honey. Ai …" Fourth Mother must be really happy this time, since Yang Xiao helped her to pick more honey. Eighth Sister quickly changed the topic.
"Ugh …" "If Fourth Mother knew that it was me who picked the honey, she would definitely be unhappy. You must not speak the truth." Yang Xiao immediately instructed the two sisters.
"Why? You're so good to Fourth Mother, why don't you let her know? " The eighth sister was puzzled and asked curiously.
"You don't even know this?" Nona looked very experienced, "It must be that wild honey doesn't taste good."
"Pfft — —" Yang Xiao laughed angrily, "The last time I broke my arm was because of picking honey. If Fourth Mother knew that I had done such a dangerous thing again, even if it was for her own good, she would definitely have been angry."
"Oh …" "I understand." Eighth Sister nodded, "Fourth Mother is worried that Yang Xiao will get injured again, so even if Yang Xiao gets the honey, Fourth Mother has to pretend to be angry. Next time, Yang Xiao will not help her gather the honey again."
"Yes!" "Big sister is smart." Seeing that eighth sister explained it so clearly, Nona was suddenly convinced. The three of them laughed together. Yang Xiao looked at the two lively and youthful lolis, affected by their innocence. The three of them talked and laughed, but the process of looking for honey was also very relaxed.
The three looked at them, who were tired and thirsty by noon, and sat on the ground. They took out the dried meat and rations they had prepared beforehand and ate some with the water. Yang Xiao lied down on the ground, closed his eyes, and was so tired that he was no longer willing to move.
Yang Xiao suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose. He didn't need to guess to know that it was definitely one of the two sisters, who was using the end of her ponytail to poke his nose! Yang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted: "Let's see how you are going to create trouble now!" She grabbed it, it was soft and slippery, and actually managed to catch Ninth Sister in front of her. Ninth Sister let out a sharp cry of pain, her body went soft, and she fell onto Yang Xiao's body, gasping for breath.
"Aiya, this is bad. Let's run!" Yang Xiao felt that the light in front of him had suddenly dimmed. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Yang Xiao immediately crawled up, pulled the two sisters, carried them with him, and ran down the mountain.
Just as the three of them were a hundred meters away, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed, lighting up the mountain path and making it dark again. Half a minute later, bean-sized drops of rain began to rain down on the mountain rocks! When the lightning illuminated the surrounding environment, the water vapor that was splattering out filled the air. The originally dry mountain air was immediately filled with a dark and humid smell.
In a few seconds, they were completely drenched. The thin clothes were tightly wrapped around the exquisite and exquisite body, even with the aid of the lightning, Yang Xiao could clearly see that the two sisters' beautiful and delicate bodies were almost completely covered by a layer of red fruit.
The gale carried the raindrops along with the leaves and branches of the rocks as it swirled over. Fortunately, the air had become dark and humid, and the dust and dirt had been reduced by a lot! With such harsh weather, it would be extremely difficult to walk on the mountain path!
"Quickly, find a place to shelter from the rain!" Yang Xiao shouted, and then the sound was drowned out by the storm!
According to Yang Xiao's estimations, the gale right now was at least level 5. Ordinary people would easily be blown away by the wind, but fortunately, the three of them were all extremely skilled experts. However, the force of the mountain wind was quite great, not to mention the fact that there was a torrential rain mixed in with the wind.
The tall figure that was carrying the backpack walked in front amidst the violent storm. The lightning flashed, and the two sisters that followed behind him wiped the rain off their faces. When they looked at his figure, for a moment, they actually felt that they were following by his side, looking for a place to settle down! Yang Xiao was really their savior.
The heavens did not disappoint those who followed their wishes. Even in the pouring rain, Yang Xiao still relied on his instincts to find a cave that could shelter him from the rain! He quickly dove inside. The two sisters who were not far behind him were startled when they saw his figure disappearing. They hurriedly chased after him!
The cave wasn't big enough for the three of them to fit in, but it was too small. The three of them could only sit on one side, and the gap between them could only fit that big backpack!
"Phew …" This rain is too fierce! " Yang Xiao's hands extended to his head at the same time, wiping the rain off his face. After wiping it away, he seemed to have discovered a big problem: In the pitch-black cave, the three of them did not have any lighting tools! Touch the dark? Not only that, the feeling of wetness on his body was unbearable!
