Chapter 152 Blood Swallow and the Beehive
Chapter 152 Blood Swallow and the Beehive
Fearing she might have misread it, Qin Yingxue checked it several times before a big smile appeared on her face.
Is it bird's nest, or the best and most precious variety, blood bird's nest?
I didn't expect to have such an unexpected bonus tonight.
Qin Yingxue was immediately excited, but when she saw the cliff face covered with them, her smile froze.
Below their feet was a bottomless abyss; one wrong step and they would be smashed to pieces.
She would regret missing out on so many blood bird's nests for the rest of her life.
During her pregnancy and postpartum period, Qin Yingxue often bought bird's nest from the mall to eat.
To avoid being discovered by Song Yanchuan and Zhu Huiwen, she only bought pre-cooked dishes.
But nothing beats the nourishment of homemade bird's nest soup...
Qin Yingxue was very tempted and began to think of ways to pick them.
The aerial ladder I bought last year came in very handy at this time. As long as I found a foothold, I could easily climb to the other side of the cliff, and then strap it around my waist...
Qin Yingxue quickly rejected the idea, as it was still too dangerous.
Then Qin Yingxue thought of the wire work that actors use to play martial arts masters, which was the only solution she could think of at the moment, but it would require someone to assist in the operation.
Qin Yingxue bought two alarms from the mall and gave them to Zhang San, instructing him to place them at the entrance of the cave. If there was any disturbance, the alarm would sound, and she, Qin Dahai, and Bai Haijian would all be alerted.
Then she summoned Zhang San back and bought a complete set of wire stunt equipment from the mall. Just as she was about to tie it around her waist, Zhang San stopped her: "Master, I'll go."
Qin Yingxue looked at Zhang San and saw that he still had a smiling expression. After thinking for a moment, she handed him the steel cable and said, "Be careful."
Zhang San nodded, and under Qin Yingxue's guidance, flew towards the cliff, climbed onto a protruding spot, and began to harvest the bird's nest.
Seeing Zhang San's movements becoming more and more skilled, Qin Yingxue, who had been secretly worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhang San offered to pick the bird's nest, Qin Yingxue hesitated for a moment.
Harvesting bird's nests on the cliff was too risky, and thinking of her newborn three babies, she hesitated.
If people could enter her space, she could hide inside if danger arose, preventing Zhang San from taking any risks.
However, if Zhang San were to accidentally fall, she could quickly pull him back with her mind, which was the reason she ultimately sent Zhang San.
Therefore, while Zhang San was risking his life to collect blood swallows on the other side of the cliff, Qin Yingxue not only had to stay vigilant and ensure Zhang San's safety at all times, but also had to assist in operating the wire harness, which was no easy task.
Because no one had been able to harvest them on the island for years, the cliffs were covered with dense clusters of blood swallows. Qin Yingxue and Zhang San worked all night to harvest all the blood swallows.
If Zhang San weren't a robot, unaware of fatigue, and not so skilled at his movements that by the late hours of the night his hands were blurry, he wouldn't have been able to finish harvesting the bird's nest.
Some remained, but they were too difficult to pick and had already weathered away...
Looking at the mountain of blood swallows piled up in the space, Qin Yingxue stretched her limbs, and after she and Zhang San put the wires away and stored them in the space, they walked into the forest in the morning light.
This time, with Zhang San's prompting, Qin Yingxue saw large flocks of birds with brightly colored feathers.
Some were stretching their wings, hopping from branch to branch; some had been searching for insects at dawn, perhaps to feed their young or their mates; some were perched on branches, singing and dancing...
The entire forest seemed to come alive, becoming full of vitality.
Zhang San knew that Qin Yingxue was afraid of snakes and insects, so he walked ahead to drive them away.
Along the way, Qin Yingxue discovered several kinds of wild fruits, including wild apricots and mulberries.
Qin Yingxue picked a few mulberries, and when she saw them, a dazed expression appeared on her face.
It seems like just yesterday I was living with Qin Dahe and the others in Qin Family Village last year. A year has already passed in the blink of an eye…
Qin Yingxue was lost in her memories when Zhang San suddenly made a wary expression.
Qin Yingxue listened carefully and, after hearing the faint sounds of conversation and footsteps, she put Zhang San into stealth mode and quickly took an invisibility pill herself.
The invisibility effect had just been activated when Qin Dahe and Bai Haijian slowly appeared before them.
"Haijian, there are wild fruits here! They're ripe right now. Let's eat some first and then go to the beach to wait for the search team." Qin Dahe ran over quickly, and upon seeing a mulberry tree, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. "There are mulberries too! My sister loves them. I have to pick some to take back for her to try..."
"Does Auntie like to eat mulberries?" Bai Haijian asked, somewhat surprised.
“We have mulberries in our village, and my little sister loves them,” Qin Dahe said as he picked one and popped it into his mouth, revealing a mouthful of big black teeth.
Bai Haijian's lips twitched; he was somewhat skeptical of what Qin Dahe had said.
Qin Yingxue, standing to the side, was speechless.
Seeing that Bai Haijian, though disbelieving, still followed Qin Dahe and picked a full bag of mulberries, she knew they cared about her, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
Qin Dahe pulled out a hand and wiped his forehead, feeling something sticky. He looked up and exclaimed with delight, "Haijian, is that a beehive up there?"
Qin Yingxue and Bai Haijian looked up at the same time and saw that under the big trees hung honeycombs, each about the size of a basketball.
People with trypophobia would probably find it unbearable.
Qin Yingxue swallowed hard. How come she hadn't noticed it before?
Qin Dahe and Bai Haijian were dumbfounded, swallowing hard.
Unfortunately, they didn't have any suitable tools and couldn't afford to waste their time there, so they had to leave reluctantly.
Qin Yingxue and Zhang San stood still. After confirming that they were walking towards the beach, Qin Yingxue waved her slender hand and said, "Let's do it."
Zhang San revealed his mechanical arm, deftly ripped off the honeycomb, and then tossed it toward Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue used her mind to store the beehive into her space, one throwing and the other storing, working in perfect harmony and seamlessly connecting.
At this point, Qin Yingxue couldn't help but marvel at how useful robots are in real life.
For example, how could an ordinary person possibly perform such high-intensity blood collection of bird's nests all night?
For example, right now, don't Qin Dahe and Bai Haijian want honey?
They're not stupid. Not having the right tools is one reason, but the main problem is that bee stings are incredibly painful, and they often attack in large swarms. Just imagine how terrifying that would be.
Because Zhang San and Qin Yingxue were both invisible, their nest suddenly disappeared, and the bees buzzed around like headless flies, unable to find a target to attack.
Half an hour later, all the dozens of beehives were stored in the space.
Qin Yingxue felt somewhat exhausted. She hadn't slept all night and had now used up a lot of her mental energy.
She took out a carton of milk to replenish her energy, while Bai Haijian and Qin Dahe, who had returned, were holding burning sticks. Seeing that none of the beehives were there, they were dumbfounded…
The two rubbed their eyes in disbelief and looked at each other in disbelief.
Was it all just an illusion or hallucination before?
Realizing something, Qin Dahe and Bai Haijian turned and ran away in a panic.
