Age: My Small World

Chapter 120 Fear of Snakes
The process of collecting firewood is boring.

But Yang Jun felt it was great to be able to find things along the way to enrich his own little world.

Last time I found some wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms and put them in there. The mulberries are growing well too, but it’s hard to grow quickly after only being bathed in spiritual rain a few times.

This time, Yang Jun also dug up some wild vegetables and threw them halfway up the mountain, including plantain, shepherd's purse, amaranth, etc. He did not let go of any of them he saw.

I even placed two Chinese toon trees near the beehive.

People who don't like this thing simply can't eat it, but people who like it love it very much. Yang Jun obviously doesn't reject Chinese toon.

After accidentally eating fried bacon with toon once, I have been thinking about it ever since. I think fried eggs with toon is a waste of ingredients. Unfortunately, with the progress of time, toon has become more expensive, so I really haven't had the chance to eat it.

It’s different now. If the two toon trees grow up, he can basically achieve toon freedom.

"Brother Xiaoshan, come and see what I found."

Suddenly a surprised voice diverted his attention.

Cheng Xiaoyu waved quickly from the woods not far away, with a hint of excitement on her face.

Yang Jun hurriedly put on his backpack and walked over. A few pieces of firewood inside were shaking.

"Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong? Did you encounter a snake?"

Cheng Xiaoyu is fearless, but she is most afraid of invertebrates like snakes, especially when they crawl. Her hair stands on end, her scalp goes numb, and her hands tremble.

This was because one time she went to cut grass for pigs. She cut a lot and piled them together. When she wasn't paying attention, a snake crawled in. When she left, she put the snake into the backpack together with it.

When she returned home and poured out the pig grass, she was shocked to find a snake coiled inside, which almost scared her to death.

Fortunately, Yang Jun was there helping to unload the backpack. Seeing this, he grabbed the snake and threw it away.

It seemed like nothing happened, but Cheng Xiaoyu developed an even stronger fear of snakes, to the point where she would tremble at the sight of one.

Now that Yang Jun mentioned the snake, she jumped up without thinking and hung herself around his neck.

"Where are the snakes?"

Yang Jun rolled his eyes at her: "I was just trying to scare you, but you actually believed me? Didn't you ask me to come here?"

Cheng Xiaoyu came down as if nothing had happened, and only when she turned around did her face turn slightly red.

She snorted, "It's because you scared me, knowing full well that I'm afraid of snakes."

Then she excitedly grabbed Yang Jun's arm and pointed to the bottom of a bush: "Brother Xiaoshan, I found a nest of pheasant eggs."

Yang Jun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Pheasant eggs?"

He was quite interested in this. The chickens raised in the small world were normal domestic chickens. If he could raise some pheasants, he would be able to produce some meat openly. At worst, he could just say he had hunted them in the mountains.

So he bent down, crawled under the bushes, and after pulling aside some leaves to cover himself, he saw a pheasant's nest.

It is somewhat similar to a normal chicken coop, but the pheasant's coop is more simple. These pheasants often use the coop to hatch eggs and throw it away after use, so it is not built with much care.

In fact, chickens are not much different. They can find a nest in the soil to lay eggs.

At first glance, there were seven eggs in total, each only half the size of a normal egg.

This is also because eggs nowadays are not big. Otherwise, according to the normal standards later, pheasant eggs would be only about one-third of the size of chicken eggs.

He took all the eggs away.

"Xiao Yu'er, give me these eggs. I can use them."

He was not polite at all to Cheng Xiaoyu.

The little girl really didn't care and said, "Okay, take it if you need it."

"Is it enough? Otherwise, I can help you look for more." She even took the initiative to find another nest.

Yang Jun quickly grabbed her and said, "That's enough. There's no need to look for more. Just consider this as giving the pheasant mothers a chance to survive."

"If a pheasant has no more eggs, it will just lay more. It's not like it won't lay eggs anymore." Cheng Xiaoyu didn't understand this cold joke.

"Well, that means I understand that you're having too much trouble, so don't look for it anymore."

Yang Jun looked around and found a few tall dead trees, so he pointed at her backpack and said, "You have so little firewood, fill it up first."

He casually put the pheasant eggs aside and started spitting and chopping trees. With the little fish around, it was not easy for him to take it directly into the small world.

He didn't notice that the little girl was staring at him intently again.

"Crack!" The dead tree fell down, and Yang Jun wiped the sweat off his forehead.

The hatchet is still too difficult to use. The key point is that now everyone's iron tools are basically used to support the steel mills, making axes difficult to find. The only one left is still left in the fire room for chopping firewood.

This is also why Xiao Yuer couldn't get any firewood after being here for half a day. Such tall dead trees are completely unusable to her.

It was difficult for other woodcutters to get it down, so it was a good deal for Yang Jun.

One root was enough to fill up the two people's backpacks, so there was no rush to cut down the others.

So he hurried back carrying the firewood.

On the way, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaoshan, what are you going to do if you can't go to school in the future?"

Yang Jun certainly knows what the future will be like, but he does have the opportunity to go to university, so he will not give up on the path of studying.

"Xiao Yuer, we are just suspending classes temporarily. We will resume classes soon, don't worry." He thought Cheng Xiaoyu was afraid that she could not go to school.

"Oh."

The little girl responded with some disappointment.

Seeing this, Yang Jun thought for a moment and said, "If I really can't go to school, I'll probably find an opportunity to be a worker and earn money to support my family. Isn't that how everyone lives?"

He just wants to live a stable life in this life, even if it is a little ordinary. He doesn't want to take a different path from ordinary people just because of his own little bit of specialness, which would isolate him from the masses.

Nowadays, if one takes a wrong step, the consequences are unpredictable. He also wants to see the information world.

"Then let's go together. I can also wash your clothes for you." Cheng Xiaoyu's eyebrows danced when she talked about this.

"You want to do my laundry? That's not okay."

The little girl beside her suddenly froze, her longing look disappeared, replaced by dejection.

"At least I have to wash my own underwear, you're a lesbian."

Yang Jun replied.

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "It's okay, I'll wash your underwear too, I don't dislike you."

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly blamed Brother Xiaoshan for breathing heavily while speaking, which was scary.

"Haha, that's just what I said. Actually, we all have a brighter future in the future."

This is what Yang Jun strives to achieve.

At worst, you can at least go to a technical secondary school. It's hard to get by anywhere without a degree.

Of course, this is just the worst option.
