A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 34 Pheasant
"Our Jiaojiao is incredibly lucky, she might actually run into a pheasant today!"

"Not only was she lucky, but she was also amazing. What kind of young girl could fight such a big snake?"

Yun Jiao's smile widened as she received the lavish praise.

"Let's put the firewood here first, then let's go pick guavas."

Yun Xiaoliu: "I remember there's a wild bayberry tree up ahead, let's go look for it."

Yun Xiaowu pouted: "No way, those bayberries are so sour, only you could bring yourself to eat them. When Jiaojiao was two years old, you picked those bayberries for her to eat, and her drool was all over her clothes."

Yun Jiao still remembers this incident, but she also wants to put everything in her mouth to taste.

Since there are no fruit trees in the sea, she was most curious about edible plants and fruits.

But that time the bayberries were so sour that her little face scrunched up, and she couldn't stop drooling.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Of course, the sixth brother who fed her bayberries was also beaten so badly he cried out in pain.

Yun Xiaoliu was unwilling to give up: "Take it back and boil it with sugar."

In the end, I still went and picked some bayberries.

Wild bayberries are small and sour; just smelling them makes your mouth water.

Yun Jiao, forgetting all her past mistakes, popped a bright red-looking bayberry into her mouth.

Then, with a jolt, her pretty little face instantly scrunched up from the sourness.

"Why are you still eating?"

Yun Xiaowu quickly took the bayberry out of her mouth.

After a long pause, Yun Jiao finally spoke in a muffled voice, "That one looks so red."

It looks tastier than other bayberries.

The older brothers were speechless; what a gluttonous girl!

"Let's go, let's go quickly, if we stay any longer we can't stop drooling from smelling this."

Finally, they arrived at the guava tree.

Yun Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves and climbed the tree: "This is our secret base. Luckily, no one else has discovered it yet."

This place is quite remote. The guava trees are growing in the jungle, surrounded by thorny vines. I don't know how Yun Xiaowu and the others managed to get here.

"Jiaojiao, here you go."

Yun Xiaowu picked two and then came down, handing one of the larger ones to Yun Jiao.

Guava, also known as guava fruit, looks like a small melon. It's a bit soft to the touch, and Yun Xiaowu can break it open with his bare hands, revealing the beautifully colored flesh inside.

The flesh is red, and it tastes good and sweet, making it one of the most popular fruits among the locals.

The only downside is that there are too many seeds inside, so you have to spit them out frequently while eating.

"good to eat."

Yun Jiao also likes to eat this, but sometimes she swallows all the seeds because she doesn't spit them out carefully.

"If it tastes good, pick more."

Seeing her brothers climb the tree so skillfully, Yun Jiao wanted to try it too.

They were discovered and stopped before they even started climbing the tree.

"Jiaojiao, you stay down here and don't come up."

Yun Jiao reluctantly gave an "oh".

She found another edible wild vegetable nearby, so she decided to pick it.

First, pour everything out of the basket into the basket that Ninth Brother put on the ground; morel mushrooms can't withstand being handled like that.

While searching, I parted a patch of grass and suddenly stared wide-eyed at a pheasant lying there.

Yun Jiao: !!!
She acted faster than she thought, grabbing the basket still filled with wild vegetables and covering it with the lid.

"Giggle..."

The pheasant, now covered, immediately squealed and began to flutter.

Then Yun Jiao watched as several more birds burst out of the nearby bushes and flew away, one of which had very brightly colored feathers.

That was a rooster; the others were hens with short, grayish tails.

"Holy crap! So many pheasants!" "Aaaaaah... What did we miss?!"

"They've all escaped; we can't catch them."

Pheasants can fly and run very fast.

Even though Yun Xiaowu and his companions heard the commotion and climbed down from the tree as fast as they could, they still couldn't catch one.

He was immediately filled with regret and slapped his thigh.

Watching so many pheasants brush past you is no different from missing out on a huge sum of money.

"No, there's also the sound of pheasants calling."

They quickly followed the pheasant's call and found Yun Jiao lying on the ground with her little bottom sticking up.

At this moment, Yun Jiao's hair was messy, and her fair face was a little dirty, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and spirited.

"Brother, a pheasant!"

Afraid that the pheasants in the basket would fly out, she lay flat on top of the basket, but dared not press it down too firmly.

Yun Xiaowu and the others' eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll catch it."

The brothers pushed each other aside and tripped each other, all so they could be the first to run to Yun Jiao's side and catch the pheasant by hand.

He uses all his cunning and scheming on his own brothers.

Yun Xiaoqi, who tripped and fell flat on her face, angrily pounded the ground with her fist: "Fifth Brother, you've gone too far!"

Yun Xiaowu didn't care; he had even pushed his own younger brother aside.

In the end, Yun Xiaowu caught the pheasant.

He laughed heartily amidst the pheasant's squeals.

"This is just what we wanted! Our Dragon and Phoenix Soup is sorted out, and this pheasant is quite plump."

Of course, pheasants are not as fat as domestic chickens, especially female pheasants.

It's only slightly larger than a pigeon.

"It's a pity that they got rid of so many pheasants just now."

"Oh dear, there were wild eggs too, they're broken."

When Yun Jiao removed the basket, she discovered there were wild eggs underneath, but she guessed they had been crushed by the pheasants struggling inside.

Yun Xiaowu's eyes lit up: "There were so many pheasants just now, there might be wild eggs around here, let's look for them."

And they actually found it!

Yun Xiaoliu beamed: "I found a pheasant nest here, with five wild eggs inside."

"I found three too!"

Yun Jiao also found them; there were seven in the nest she found.

After that, there were none left; even if you found a pheasant's nest, it was empty.

There were fifteen wild eggs in total, and everyone beamed with joy.

"Let's go home."

They never expected to be so lucky to find so many good things on their trip into the mountains.

Carrying firewood, wild vegetables, a snake, and a pheasant, they descended the mountain in high spirits.

The pheasant was still alive, clucking incessantly the whole way.

"Xiao Wu, you guys went into the mountains? And you even caught a pheasant?"

Yun Xiaowu nodded: "I originally encountered a group, but unfortunately the others all flew away, and I only managed to catch this one."

"What great luck! I even caught a pheasant while gathering firewood in the mountains."

People who encounter her envy her but aren't jealous; she's just a wild pheasant.

Although supplies are scarce now, people living by the sea can still eat meat regularly.

People also like pheasants; after all, if you eat too much seafood, you'll like other meats.

But there's only so much meat in a pheasant, and with so many people in their family, each person can only get a little bit of broth.
