Chapter 175 Stirring a hornet's nest
He Wuyou didn't even have time to stop Lu Shi'an's actions. Before he could finish speaking, he saw the other party break off a long, dry branch and forcefully poke it into the hole.
The dark nest couldn't withstand the force and broke off from the tree trunk, falling straight down.
It crashed to the ground with a loud bang and shattered into several pieces.
The next second, a loud buzzing sound was heard, and countless bees flew out from inside, scurrying around in all directions as if fleeing for their lives.
Upon seeing this, the two people in the tree exchanged a glance, realizing that something terrible was about to happen. They quickly slid down the tree one after the other and ran forward like the wind.
"Little Black, you run too!"
The two men covered their faces with one hand and waved the other in the air as they ran away.
The ground under the bayberry tree was already covered with a layer of bright red, round bayberries, so slippery that you could easily slide if you weren't careful walking on it, let alone running on it.
Sure enough, He Wuyou and his companion didn't manage to run fast enough; their feet slipped, and they both fell flat on their faces.
The bees buzzed along with the wind, getting closer and closer.
To make matters worse, countless more flew out of that shattered beehive, in an endless stream.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei picked up the biggest piece with its mouth and ran away into the distance.
"Little black!"
"Little Black! Let go of my mouth!"
The two spoke at the same time, a hint of worry flashing through their minds, and ran in that direction, but they were no match for Xiao Hei's speed and couldn't catch up.
Behind them, a wasp the size of a little finger followed closely, relentlessly pursuing them.
When the two found Xiao Hei, its mouth was already swollen beyond recognition.
Looking at Xiao Hei's disheveled appearance, Lu Shi'an felt a pang of guilt, but this guilt was far less than his desire to burst into laughter.
"Pfft—hahahahahahaha—"
Seeing him laughing so happily, He Wuyou turned her head and glared at him before looking at the pitiful little black dog.
All right......
He admitted that he did feel like laughing whenever he saw it, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Forgive him for laughing out loud, which was rather unkind of him.
"Hahahaha-"
"Wuyou, how many times were you stung?"
"Look around, and what about you?"
"I only got stung three times, hehehe, guess how many times Little Black got stung."
After they finished speaking, they both turned their attention to Xiao Hei's round and swollen head and burst into laughter again.
Xiao Hei, I'm so sorry!
Xiao Hei glanced at the two laughing merrily with a resentful look, as if accusing them: You two heartless little devils!
When He Jing arrived at the bayberry tree with his prey to meet up with He Wuyou and the others, he paused for a moment, and his lips twitched.
He was only gone for a short while, what happened?
Both children had several obvious red and swollen spots on their faces, especially Lu Shi'an, whose face was so swollen that it was shiny.
He Jing thought his condition was more serious, but when he glanced at Xiao Hei, he gasped in shock.
The little black cat's body and head looked extremely mismatched. Its swollen, round head only revealed two pointed ears, making it look quite pitiful.
"You two, have you stirred up a hornet's nest?"
The two children nodded, and He Jing was speechless for a moment. He didn't need to say anything more; they had both received the punishment they deserved.
"Let's go find your sister-in-law."
He Jing carried a full load of bayberries on his back and led the three pitiful-looking little ones home.
Ye Xiaoxiao was leading He Wuyang to dry the herbs they had collected in the courtyard when she was startled by an unidentified object as soon as she stood up.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the unidentified object was actually Xiao Hei.
"Little Black, what happened to you?"
Didn't they go up the mountain with them to pick bayberries?
He Wuyang's eyes widened, and after a long while, she finally asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Xiao Hei?"
The little black cat in front of her had its tail drooping, looking truly disheveled and pitiful. It struggled to open its eyes and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, making "whimpering" sounds in its throat.
From mouth to neck, Xiao Hei looked as if it had been inflated, standing with a head that was extremely disproportionate to its body and drooping ears.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt both sorry for Xiao Hei and amused: "Xiao Hei got stung by a wasp."
After saying that, she moved a small stool and sat down next to Xiao Hei, cleaning the poison needles off its skin. The little girl also squatted down beside it and gently stroked Xiao Hei's head to comfort it.
A short while later, He Jing and the others returned.
Those in the courtyard looked over upon hearing the sound and found He Wuyou and He Lu Shi'an particularly conspicuous.
Lu Shi'an, in particular, had a red and swollen face, and could not even see his eyes.
He Wuyang pointed at the two of them, covered his toothless mouth, and laughed: "Hahahaha, you two look so much like pigs! Hahahaha—"
