Chapter 40: The Real Mountain Grass and Wild Vegetables

I haven't seen it for a year, and the bamboo around the house has grown taller and stronger, and the fallen leaves on the ground are thickly paved, so I don't have to worry about stepping on the yellow mud.

Pear Blossom stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the somewhat rotten wood door, the door panel seemed to be unable to withstand even such a little gravity, and made an astringent sound of "snort ~ snort ~ smack ~", and collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, the air was moist and did not raise too much dust. Rika walked into one of the rooms in the dark, skillfully found an oil lamp on the counter, then took out a small oil bottle from her bag and poured the oil into the dry oil lamp.

Soon, the warm yellow light illuminated the small hut, and Pear Blossom held it up to inspect the environment of the house, and found no signs of wild animal invasion, and the anti-insect medicine was still so effective.

"Son, come in!" she nodded in satisfaction and beckoned the pear outside the door to come in.

The two tacitly took out the rag and began to clean it up, and they were busy for a long time before they could barely clean it up.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Pear sat on a small bench tiredly and said with some sadness.

He wasn't very good at cooking food in an earthen stove, so he felt a little discouraged.

"Let's go, let's go to the little vegetable garden, there should be some food to eat. Rika took out a flashlight and handed it to Pear, then pulled out a dusty sickle and a bamboo basket from the corner.

The two of them came to the stream, washed it briefly, and walked towards the vegetable garden behind the hut.

"Yikes!" the pear didn't know what she was stepping on, and her foot slipped. Thanks to Rika's quick reaction, she received him with a backhand, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Riko curiously bent down and looked around with a flashlight, and suddenly exclaimed happily, "Mom...... Come and see, there's a little rabbit here. ”

With the flashlight, it turned out to be a wild gray hemp rabbit, frightened, trembling and hiding in a weed.

Lihua suddenly remembered that before going down the mountain last year, she caught a few rabbits and stocked them in the vegetable garden, just to make this place a little angry and not too desolate. This little rabbit is only the size of a palm, and it should have been born not long ago.

"Do you want to play with it?" Pear asked for Riko's suggestion.

Pear nodded desperately, "Mmmmmmmm

There should be few children in this world who don't love small animals, even if the pear is a fairly mature child, in front of the little rabbit, it also exposes its innocent side.

"Okay! Catch it yourself, but don't hurt it, you know?"

The child always has to learn to grow up by herself, just like when she was a young child, when she was a toddler, Grandpa began to take her into the mountains and teach her how to catch prey. From catching small butterflies, small flying insects, and so on, and then slowly start to catch rabbits, dig birds' eggs, and so on.

However, since Grandpa's death, she has never gone into the mountains to hunt again, because she firmly remembers Grandpa's dying will: Don't kill, don't do evil, and accumulate more blessings for yourself unless you have to.

Grandpa created too much karma when he was young, so he wanted to give back more than 100 catties of meat to the place that had nurtured him all his life. When he was dying, he said goodbye to Pear Blossom energetically, sent himself into Savage Mountain, and was buried in the sky.

Therefore, no matter what, she will not let people destroy every grass and tree in Savage Mountain, she has to wait for Grandpa and not let his heroic spirit be disturbed.

When Pear Blossom was full of thoughts, Pear had already harvested a cute little rabbit with great ambition, "Mom, look, how cute she is!"

"Beware of its claws hurting you, and when the day comes, I'll weave you a bamboo cage so it will have a nest." After some advice, Pear Blossom looked around, and found that the vegetables on the ground had almost been eaten, and the roots buried in the ground had not been destroyed by these rabbits.

She used her sickle to peel away the moist soil, and easily pulled out a somewhat thin turnip, after all, it had not been fertilized, and it did not grow as well as it should. However, it is definitely a top-quality ingredient that is pure and wild.

Then, she picked some sweet potato leaves, dug up a bunch of sweet potatoes, and the two of them returned with a full load.

In the stove room, in a sealed wooden cabinet, Rika took out a pot, ingredients, etc., washed them and put them aside. He took a piece of air-dried old bacon from the beam of the house and threw it directly into the red-burning fire pit.

The oil in the bacon was burned with a "clang" sound, and it was soon burned to black. She quickly threw the bacon into the basin on the side, went to the hot water, and began to clean it.

Soon, there was a sound of "Ding Ding Dang" in the kitchen. And the pear squatted at the door, looking at the pear blossom from time to time, and teasing the little rabbit, the atmosphere between the two was quiet and warm.

After a while, a plate of fried bacon, a plate of fried sweet potatoes, a bowl of cold shredded radish, and a pot of soup boiled with sweet potato leaves were placed on the small wooden table.

The mother and son lit up the dim light and ate a real meal of mountain grass and wild vegetables.

When Pear fell asleep, Pear Blossom sat under a pear blossom tree at the entrance of the yard, looking out at the scenery down the mountain, where some lights could be faintly seen.

She pulled out a flute and blew it softly. There is no tactful and pleasant sense of intoxication, there is just a sharp voice like crying and ghostly ghosts.

On the construction site at the foot of the mountain, the workers who had been busy all day had already fallen asleep, and no one heard the flute, which kept ringing for a long, long time.

In the wee hours of the morning, a worker opened the door and walked to a remote place to prepare for convenience, when a small black bug took the opportunity to burrow into his trouser leg.

"Woo...... What the hell. The pain struck, and he was so startled that he quickly rolled up his trouser leg to check, and found that his calf had a small red spot inexplicably, which looked like it had been bitten by a bug.

He stomped his foot vigorously, and a black worm soon fell to the ground, and he kicked it in hatred, scolding as he stepped on it: "Tell you to bite me, damn worm!

Just as he was almost angry and was about to go back to rest, he only heard the sound of "rustling" from the grass, and he looked over curiously, but saw dense black insects rushing towards him.

He screamed in fright, "Oh!

Disturbed by his voice, a man came out of the camp and scolded him: "You deflated calf, what are you arguing about? Grandpa's dozing has been lost by you?"

"Brother Wang, run! Bugs...... Lots and lots of bugs. The worker ran past the man with vigorous steps, and as he ran, he kindly reminded him.

The man named Brother Wang pursed his lips indifferently and said disdainfully: "Cut! How big a worm can scare you so much?"

However, the next second, after seeing the dense army of insects behind him, he also ran with it, and the speed was faster than the previous worker, and he ran directly in front of him.
