Chapter 23: Taking Honey

She was used to sleeping on a Simmons bed, so she couldn't sleep at night.

The village was near the mountain, so the temperature difference between day and night was huge. At night, the temperature was very low. Even with the thin quilt covering her body, it was still very cold.

Zhao Yun 'er and Doudou slept in their clothes. Doudou's lips were a little purple because of the cold. Zhao Yun 'er hugged Doudou in her arms, letting him feel the warmth of her body. The little bun also had a faint milky fragrance on his body, which was very pleasant to smell.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun 'er was really sleepy and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhao Yun 'er woke up. Today, she was going to go up the mountain and rush back for lunch, so she had to go early.

Doudou was still sleeping soundly. Zhao Yun 'er patted Doudou's little face and gently called out to Doudou, "Doudou, Mother is going up the mountain. Get up."

Doudou rubbed his sleepy eyes and quickly got up.

Zhao Yun 'er put the things in the basket and prepared them. Then, she held Doudou's little hand and walked up the mountain.

In the early morning, there was still a thin fog on the mountain, and there was a trace of coolness. Zhao Yun 'er directly went to the beehive she remembered last time.

This time, the purpose of going up the mountain was to get the honey. Although there wasn't much honey in a beehive, there were many beehives in the mountain. If she could get a few of them, she would be able to get a lot of honey.

Zhao Yun 'er took Doudou to the bottom of a beehive. First, she let Doudou hide a little further away, so that the bees wouldn't fly over and sting Doudou.

"Doudou, you stay here and don't move. Mother is going to climb up the tree." Zhao Yun 'er warned.

"Yes Mother." Doudou nodded sensibly.

Zhao Yun 'er kissed Doudou's little face. "Doudou is so obedient."

Then, she turned and climbed up the tree.

Zhao Yun 'er tried her best to be as light as possible, so as not to disturb the bees on the tree. Then, she took out the tools she prepared.

She lit a bunch of grass mixed with soil. This way, the grass wouldn't burn, but thick smoke would come out.

After Zhao Yun 'er did all this, she hurriedly climbed down the tree and retreated to Doudou's position.

Not long after, the smoke became thicker and thicker. The bees that were originally staying in the beehive seemed to be unable to bear it and slowly began to fly out of the beehive.

When the bees all flew out of the honeycomb and flew far away, Zhao Yun 'er went back up the tree.

Then, she took out a small knife and cut a small hole in the beehive. Then, she took out all the honey from the beehive.

Zhao Yun 'er didn't completely destroy the beehive. The beehive was where the bees lived. She didn't want to destroy the beehive just to get some honey. In addition, she left the beehive. The bees would come back on their own. After a while, she could continue to get more honey.

There wasn't much honey in one beehive. Fortunately, there were many beehives on the mountain. Zhao Yun 'er followed the same method and took out two large jars of honey.

In ancient times, honey was also a good thing. Generally, only rich families could afford it. Two jars of honey should be worth a lot of money. Unknowingly, the whole morning had passed.

Zhao Yun 'er was full of harvests and prepared to go down the mountain with Doudou.

Seeing the faint fragrance of honey, Doudou asked curiously, "Mother, what is this?"
