DAVM Extra Chapter 2.3

Ji Zhile’s hand shook, and the sweet potato fell to the ground. He squatted down and picked it up. Then, he said in a low voice, “I haven’t eaten it yet.”

Ji Ningyi knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his movements. He said with a serious face: “It’s very dirty. It has not been washed. It cannot be eaten.”

Pei Jing immediately followed and said: “Ningyi is right. When we get home later, we need to soak it in salt water and wash it before eating. Otherwise, we will have diarrhea and we won’t be able to go out to play in the afternoon.”

Ji Zhile’s eyes sparkled: “What are we going to play in the afternoon?”

His focus was run completely crookedly.

Pei Jing could only coax him: “There are a lot of things you can play, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, roasted corn.”

Ji Zhile asked: “Can we go and pick mushrooms?”

“What?” Pei Jing was stunned.

Ji Zhile asked again: “Can we go catch loaches?”

Pei Jing remembered what he had told Ji Zhile before. Unexpectedly, Ji Zhile still remembered it. He said, “We can go fishing.”

Mushrooms are easier to find after it rains. To catch loaches, you have to go to the fields. The roads in the fields are not good and it is easy to fall, especially for people who go to the fields for the first time.

Pei Jing felt that these two activities were not very safe.

However, Ji Zhile already found what Pei Jing said to be very interesting. He put the pick-up wild sweet potatoes into the bucket, looked at the shallow layer of wild sweet potatoes in the bucket, licked his mouth, and said, “Brother Pei Jing, let’s find some more wild sweet potatoes to bring back home and give it to my mother.”

Pei Jing said yes.

They didn’t stay outside for a long time. Pei Jing was worried that they were suffering from heat stroke, but when they went home, Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile were still alive and kicking.

Pei Jing took out the basin and turned on the faucet to collect water to wash the wild sweet potatoes. Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile also squatted next to him, stirring the basin with their hands. From time to time, their hands touched each other.

Ji Zhile stretched out his index finger. He poked the back of Ji Ningyi’s hand, but when he noticed it, he pulled back. He was having a great time.

After cleaning it, Pei Jing took clean water, added salt, and soaked the wild sweet potatoes in the salt water.

While he was doing all this, Ji Zhile squatted beside him to watch. He couldn’t wait to ask: “When can we eat it, Brother Pei Jing?”

Pei Jing said: “Just wait ten more minutes.”

Ji Zhile started counting: “One, two, three…”

Ji Ningyi said: “If you count ten minutes like this, it will take a long time. Go back and take a rest.”

Ji Zhile was reluctant, so Pei Jing suggested, “Zhile and I will go and pick eggs.”

He felt that if Ji Zhile was allowed to stay here, Ji Zhile would definitely keep going until he could get away with it.

Hearing Pei Jing’s words, Ji Zhile raised his head and asked, “Do we need money to pick eggs?”

“No,” Pei Jing said, “It’s the chickens we raised.”

Ji Zhile stood up suddenly and said, “Okay, I’m going to pick up eggs.”

Pei Jing’s grandmother raised four chickens, two roosters and two hens, but today she killed one rooster for lunch, and only three were left. The two hens were kept here to lay eggs, enough for them to eat by themselves.

Pei Jing knew where the hens liked to lay eggs, so he brought the two children here. The hens gathered around the nest and cooed.

Ji Zhile’s eyes were sharp, and he saw the egg at a glance. He was very excited: “Brother Pei Jing, can you let me get it?”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhile approached cautiously and glanced at the cooing hen not far away. He took the egg with both hands. It was still warm.

His eyes widened. He felt that it was so amazing that he couldn’t help but smile at Jin Ningyi.

It may be that extreme joy brings sorrow. As soon as he finished laughing, the hen ran toward Ji Zhile.

The sound of ‘coo-goo-goo-goo-goo’ was extremely loud, and the momentum was turbulent, like a sharp sword.

Ji Zhile ran out unconsciously, but he didn’t forget to hold the chicken egg tightly in his hand. The hen’s wings seemed to be about to spread, its hair was blown up, and its two feet were running very fast.

Ji Zhile screamed, running toward home and shouting: “Mom!”

Si Tian heard the voice and came out to see such a chaotic scene—
