Chapter 6: The Trap

The days are the same. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It's October in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting cooler day by day.

Peach Blossom touched her thin clothes, and shrunk her shoulders a little afraid of the cold in the autumn wind.

Today, she and Mingsheng went to the back mountain to collect firewood. Later, the weather will get colder and colder, and more and more firewood will be needed, so it is natural to stock up a little more. Dad and Jingsheng went to work in the city, and Peach Blossom asked the Zhang family what they were going to do in the city. Zhang said he went to the dock to help carry the goods. Peach Blossom was very surprised, I didn't expect that there was a dock in Xicheng, it should be very lively, and there were many opportunities to make money. I can't help but jump with joy when I think about it. But when I learned that the goods were moved ten times for only three pennies, my heart hurt. You must find an idea to make money quickly. But all development requires capital, right? Now I don't have a penny in my hand, and I sigh again when I think of this.

Zhang and Pear Blossom are still embroidering at home in exchange for money, and Zhang was going to teach peach blossom embroidery, but Peach Blossom escaped for various reasons, saying that he should not learn anything. She couldn't bear it, so she poked and poked a piece of cloth with an embroidery needle......

Over the hillside, the two walked on the mountain road, surrounded by weeds and branches. Peach Blossom picks up a wooden stick and whips the surrounding grass to drive away snakes and insects. Peach blossoms stopped when they approached the foot of the mountain.

"Just pick it up here. Peach Blossom looked at the surrounding environment, the trees stretched freely, and some of the yellowed leaves were blown by the autumn wind and fell in a flutter. Dry branches fell to the ground in a mess.

"But I want to go to the mountains and have rabbits in there. Mingsheng pouted.

"That's not good, the eldest brother didn't follow, it's too dangerous for the two of us. "Although Peach Blossom also wants to go, it's okay if she's alone, but now with her four-year-old brother, you have to be careful what you say. There are not only treasures in the mountains, but also hidden dangers that you don't know.

"Oh well. Mingsheng reluctantly said: "Then ask the eldest brother to accompany us tomorrow, I haven't been to the mountains to play for a long time." "

"Big brother still has to work, how can he have time to accompany us. Peach Blossom bent down to pick up a few pieces of firewood and put them aside, and said casually.

"Third sister, let's go catch a rabbit, so that the eldest brother and daddy don't have to go to the city. Mingsheng suddenly ran to Peach Blossom in surprise and said, "Dad and eldest brother are so hard, the day before yesterday they took a bath, I saw a lot of red marks on my shoulder, and my mother cried several times in distress." In the end, Mingsheng's voice lowered, and tears glistened with tears in his eyes.

Peach Blossom squatted on the ground without squeaking, and poked the ground with the branch in her hand.

"But where are we going to catch rabbits?" Peach Blossom looked at the tall and deep mountain forest and was a little confused, things are very beautiful when I think about it, but how can it be so easy to really do it.

"I know of a rabbit nest. "I found out when I was playing with Saburo and them on the mountain before, and I didn't tell them. Mingsheng saw that Peach Blossom agreed, and ran towards the mountain in the lead.

"Slow down, wait for me. Peach Blossom hurriedly chased after her.

When you enter the mountain, you can feel the heaviness of the mountain, the branches and leaves that cover the sky and the sun cover most of the sunlight, and many trees need to be hugged by several people. The mountains and the mountains are like two worlds. The modern mountains can't compare to this. Peach blossom climbed up a thick tree root, and the branches were entwined. Unknown wildflowers dot the rocks, dirt slopes, and mountain roadsides. The air was filled with the chirping of insects and birds, the cool wind was shuttling through the jungle, and the peach blossoms reached out to catch the tiny light falling from between the branches. It feels incredible, like entering a fairy tale.

"Third sister, come quickly. Mingsheng beckoned in front.

Peach Blossom found Mingsheng in a pile of grass and squatted on the ground following his example.

"Third sister, that's the rabbit nest, I saw a rabbit go in last time. Mingsheng whispered.

Peach Blossom looked at it, there was really a small cave, and there was a shallow trace in front of the cave, which I couldn't really see if I didn't look carefully.

"Shall we go up and catch it directly?" Peach Blossom also asked in a low voice.

"That's not going to work, the rabbit is running so fast that we can't catch it. Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Peach Blossom thought for a while and said, "I have a way, come with me." "

Ming Sheng hurriedly followed. Peach Blossom took out a small shovel from the basket, which was used to dig wild vegetables when she came across them. Now it's just the right time to use.

"Third sister, what is this for?" Mingsheng asked curiously, squatting on the side.

"Dig a trap. "Peach Blossom is concise and to the point.

"Oh, how can I help?" Mingsheng said with wide eyes and some impatience.

"You go pick up some dry leaves. Peach Blossom commanded.

"Good. Mingsheng excitedly went to pick up leaves, and after a while, he picked up a lot of them.

Peach Blossom also dug a small pit, but after looking at it, she felt a little shallow, so she dug a little deeper. Raised his hand to wipe his sweat, this body is really too empty, just do a little work will not be able to hold on, more exercise in the future, the main thing is the lack of meat!

Peach Blossom found some small and fragile branches to put on it, and then carefully spread the leaves, and pressed her hand on it, feeling that it would collapse at any time, so she nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, we'll see the results tomorrow. Peach Clapped her hands and stood up and said.

Ming Sheng nodded happily, and then the two continued to collect firewood. It's almost time to pick up, Peach Blossom took out the straw rope and tied the firewood on the ground tightly, put it on her back, and tied a small bundle to Mingsheng, otherwise the child would not follow. Let Peach Blossom sigh again Mingsheng's sensibility, maybe this is the child of the poor who is in charge early.

"There's mango. When she was about to leave the mountain, Peach Blossom suddenly squatted down and carefully recognized the clusters of green on the ground. This month, the rest of the wild vegetables are basically gone. Only this mango is still growing, and if it weren't for the fact that my grandmother used to dig it up and eat it, she wouldn't have recognized it. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be mango in this time and space.

"It's not edible. Mingsheng said.

It turns out that some people once picked this dish back, but the taste was very bitter, and they didn't even eat chickens and ducks and other livestock, let alone people.

"It's okay, let's take it back and boil it in hot water. Peach Blossom already had a plan in her heart, put down the firewood on her back, picked up the basket and began to pick it with great interest.

Mingsheng couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say anything, so he just played it.

When the two of them carried firewood on their backs and crossed a basket full of mango vegetables down the mountain, they happened to meet San Lang and the children in the village catching crickets in the grass.

"Sister Peach Blossom. Saburo ran over first.

"It's Saburo, it's almost noon, let's go home quickly. Peach Blossom said with a smile.

"Well, we'll go back. San Lang looked a little speechless and stopped, looked back at the friends who were playing and didn't notice this, so he approached Peach Blossom and said mysteriously: "Sister Peach Blossom, I'll tell you something." "

Peach Blossom thought it was a little secret between children, so she lowered her head cooperatively and said, "Okay, you say, I'll listen." "

So San Lang told Peach Blossom what Mrs. Zhao said next to the Qingshui River, it turned out that he happened to be playing there that day, and heard someone mention Peach Blossom, so he wrote down the words, although he didn't understand what he meant, but his intuition should not be a good thing, and he was afraid that Sister Peach Blossom would suffer, so he quickly told her.

"You didn't tell anyone, did you?" asked Peach Blossom.

"No, I didn't say anything but you. Saburo hurriedly said.

"Okay, then I know, don't tell anyone else, you know? Peach Blossom said with a smile, feeling a little like a wolf grandmother.

"Okay, okay. What a fun thing. Saburo's eyes widened and he couldn't wait.

"It's a secret, I'll tell you later. Peach Blossom nodded his head, then pulled Mingsheng and walked home. Originally, Peach Blossom actually chose to ignore the attitude towards such a thing, just like her own best aunt Erniang, others love to make trouble, as long as it is not very serious, she doesn't care, she is a modern person, don't you even have this measure. But life is boring, and it's fun to play tricks on some people once in a while. The corners of Peach Blossom's mouth curled into a smile.

"Third sister, what did San Lang say to you, why are you smiling so happily?" asked Mingsheng.

"It's nothing. Peach Blossom smiled even happier.
