Douluo's eternity

Chapter 16 Milk Fruit

Xiaoyue sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, those little brats are really difficult to deal with. If I hadn't run so fast, I'd probably have all been caught by now."

Yu Xian smiled and said: "Then why don't you bring them with you? They are chasing you because they want to play with you. Isn't that bad of you?"

Xiaoyue shook her head and said disdainfully: "I won't take them with me, they are a bunch of troublesome brats."

Yu Xian shook her head helplessly, there was nothing she could do about Xiao Yue.

Xiaoyue sat on the grass, holding her chin in boredom.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Sister Xiaoxian, I remember that behind this mountain, there are many wild fruits on another mountain along the road. Every year, my father will go there to pick some. It’s delicious when you come back, why don’t we go and have a look?”

Hearing this, Yuxian's eyes lit up. Xiaoyue didn't mention that she almost forgot that there were so many wild fruits these days, and they were just in their ripe season.

Yu Xian clapped her hands and said: "Yes, Xiaoyue, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. The wild fruits are just ripe these days. You guys wait for me for a while. I will go home to get the basket, and we will pick fruits later."

After saying that, Yuxian got up and ran towards the village down the mountain.

Xiaoyue also stood up and said, "Brother Qiangu, you watch first, and I'll go home and get a backpack." After saying that, the little girl ran back happily.

Qiangu was startled, watching two figures, one big and one small, going down the mountain. He sighed helplessly, glanced at the cattle and sheep grazing not far away, put his hands behind his head, and hummed a little tune.

After a while, Yuxian and Xiaoyue each walked up the mountain carrying a backpack.

Qiangu held a piece of blue silver grass in his mouth and hummed a tune leisurely.

"Brother Qiangu, we are here!" Xiaoyue called from a distance.

Qiangu spit out the bluesilver grass in his mouth, stood up and stretched.

"Brother Qiangu, come on, we have to leave from here!" Xiao Yue waved to Qiangu.

"Here we come." Qiangu replied and walked in the direction of the two of them.

Xiaoyue was carrying a small backpack, with a sweet smile on her cute little face, jumping up and down, humming a song and walking in the front.

Follow the path all the way down and pass through a forest to reach a mountain stream. The mountain stream is clear and gurgling. Take a sip and the spring water will be sweet, cool and refreshing.Then follow the mountain stream down to the foot of the mountain. The mountain stream flows into a small river. The small river is also crystal clear and sparkling. There are fish swimming in the river, leisurely and leisurely.

Go downstream along the river, cross a small wooden bridge, and then follow the mountain road up another mountain.

Xiaoyue was very excited along the way, jumping up and down without feeling tired at all.

The mountain road is not rough.But because it rained last night and there were trees blocking the way, there was a lot of water on the road, and you might fall down if you were not careful.

Keep walking along the mountain road, and after reaching the top of the mountain, there are three forked roads.

Xiaoyue stopped, turned around and asked, "This is the path to Tiancun, this is the path to Shenghun Village, this is the path to Duanfengya, which one should we take?"

"If you take the Duanfengya route, there will be wild fruits not far away." Yu Xian replied with a smile.

"Oh." Xiaoyue agreed, then walked forward and asked as she walked: "Sister Xiaoxian, I remember that there are a lot of wild fruits on the path to Tiancun, right?"

Yu Xian replied: "Yes, but there are many people walking on this road. The wild fruits on the road may have been picked. Not many people will go to Duanfengya, there should be many more."

"That's right, but I heard that the road there is very difficult to walk on. If you accidentally fall, you will fall to death." Xiao Yue said worriedly.

Yuxian smiled slightly and said: "We are not going to Duanfengya. The terrain is difficult, but there are also many wild animals living there. Basically no one will go there except those who like to go hunting."

"Sister Xiaoxian, why don't we go hunting too!" Xiaoyue said suddenly.

Yu Xian rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Xiao Yue, can you stop saying those unrealistic things all the time? You must at least have weapons for hunting. Besides, do you think we look like we can hunt? I'm afraid even if Even with weapons, we can’t deal with a wild boar.”

Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Oh, I was just joking. I won't do something as dangerous as hunting."

After saying that, she suddenly pointed not far away and said loudly: "Sister Xiaoxian, look, there is a milk fruit tree there!"

Qiangu said, looking in the direction of Xiaoyue's finger, and sure enough, she saw a fruit tree. The tree was full of fruits, all bright red, round and plump.

This tree is inconspicuous here. Apart from its leaves, it is not much different from other trees.

Irregular round leaves, each one larger than a human head, bright red fruits hanging on the trunk, each one as big as a fist, so red that it can almost bleed.

"Wow! There are so many milk fruits!" the little girl said, she couldn't wait to run over, picked a fruit, broke it open and ate it.

Yuxian and Qiangu also approached slowly. Yuxian raised his hand and picked off two milk fruits and handed one to Qiangu.

Qiangu looked curiously at the so-called milk fruit, which was a fruit he had never seen before.

The appearance of the milk fruit is very round, like a ball, and it is a bit hard when pinched. After breaking it open, the inside is milky white pulp without seeds, which looks like jelly.

Qiangu took a sip and found that the taste was not sweet, but it seemed to have a light milky aroma.

"How does it taste?" Yu Xian turned around and smiled.

Qiangu tasted it carefully and nodded: "Yeah, it's delicious."

Xiao Yue smiled and said: "Of course, this is milk fruit, but it is a famous fruit. I heard from my mother that when she gave birth to me, she didn't have much milk for me to drink, so I grew up eating this."

The little girl said, picking several more and eating them with big mouthfuls.

Yu Xian also nodded and said: "It is true that many children in our village did not have milk to drink when they were young, and they basically grew up eating milk and fruit."

Qiangu nodded clearly, and finally understood why this fruit is called milk fruit. Moreover, the milk fruit has a faint milky aroma, maybe it can be used as milk for babies.

"Let's take a look further. We'll come back to pick these milk fruits later." With that said, Yu Xian took the lead and walked forward.

Xiaoyue quickly packed up the milk fruits she had just picked and chased after him.

Qiangu followed the two of them leisurely.

Not far away, Yuxian stopped and looked at a tree full of fruits below the road.

Xiaoyue also stopped and looked around, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Wow! So many strings!"

Qiangu was stunned: "What? Chuanchuan?"

"There are so many, I can eat enough this year, so many bunches of fruits!" Xiao Yue shouted, and ran down with a small basket on her back.

"Xiao Yue, be careful!" Yu Xian shouted.

The next moment, the leaves slipped under the little girl's feet, and she sat down on the ground with a splat, sliding down the leaves.
