After this wild fruit, and around a mountain, they will reach their destination.

The mountain of bracken is listed differently from other hills.

There are fewer large trees and more small numbers on the mountain, and there are patches of open spaces, which are bracken ponds where bracken grows.

Wild bracken grows in a mix with a variety of grasses.

A pond of bracken that has never been picked before, and when you stand there, you can see the little heads of bracken hooked together, hidden in the grass.

When you finish picking the bracken, this piece of grass is also staggered by your stepping.

But you don't have to worry about bracken, as long as there is enough rain, it will grow in three to five days.

As long as someone picks it diligently and does not let it grow, it will keep coming out of the soil with new bracken.

If the elders bloom, the new ones will not grow anymore.

Zhou Shujie and his group climbed the mountain beam and arrived at a relatively flat hillside.

From here, in the distance, you can see patches of grass separated by trees.

These grasses are where the bracken grows every year.

In the grass, you can still see patches of golden, this is the bracken stalk that grew and bloomed last year, when you see such dried bracken, it means that you have found the right place.

Zhou Shujie and the others, a total of six people, separated on their own as soon as they arrived on the mountain beam.

They weren't too far apart, and everyone ran to a bush.

I watched all the sisters-in-law go into the distance.

Zhou Shujie carried the basket on his back and walked towards the nearest one.

Before she could get to her, she saw the hooked little brain melon in the tall grass.

Looking at each tree, which is as thick as chopsticks, and there are yellow fluff on it, it is particularly fresh and tender at first glance.

Walked to the grass and put the basket on the ground, and the cat reached out and picked them one by one.

Now that the bracken has just grown, it can be as tall as chopsticks, and there is no old dish next to it.

Zhou Shujie picks two or three handfuls of them, and even some of them are even in pieces, as they say, they can cut them with a sickle.

Some are even as thick as a little thumb, and picking twenty or thirty trees in your hand feels like you have to weigh a pound.

This small bracken pond is not too big, and there can be forty or fifty square meters.

Here, Zhou Shujie picked two hugs of almost 20 catties of bracken.

Take out the dry food in the back basket, and put the bracken one layer outwards and one layer inward into the back basket, so that the back basket can hold a little more.

She had just finished loading the bracken when she heard a shout coming from ahead.

"Shujie, come forward~"

Listening to the voice should have been shouted by Sister-in-law Guo, Zhou Shujie hurriedly agreed. "Hey, here's my sister-in-law. ”

Hurriedly put the dry food in the basket again, picked it up and walked forward.

When they saw a half-piece of bracken in the woods, these sisters-in-law didn't pick it at all.

didn't give Zhou Shujie time to step on it.

They just carried the basket on their backs to find a piece, and as soon as they saw Zhou Shujiela, they hurriedly greeted her.

Zhou Shujie could only follow them, carrying a basket on his back to find patches of bracken ponds.

I picked one piece after another, and the back basket was also filled with 40 pounds, and I found a new piece and put down the back basket to pick.

I was picking it! I heard the sound of something under my feet!

was so frightened that Zhou Shujie let out a "whoop", jumped three feet high, and ran out quite far.

She thought she had touched a snake!

Wait for her to look at it carefully in horror.

It turned out to be a four-legged snake, which is often referred to as a gecko.

Zhou Shujie breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest to slow down his thumping heart.

Guo's second sister-in-law was not far in front of her, and when she heard her shouting, she hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Shujie~ What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Shujie, who had just taken two deep breaths, replied: "Second sister-in-law, it's okay, I saw a gecko." I thought I had hit a snake and scared me. ”

Guo's second sister-in-law laughed when she heard this: "You are too bold, you are scared to see a gecko." Don't worry, there are still very few snakes here, as long as you don't go to the stone mountain in the distance, you basically can't touch it. ”

"I know the second sister-in-law. ”

Although it is a gecko, not a snake!

Zhou Shujie felt that it was also quite scary, and made sure that the gecko was far away, so she continued to pick her bracken.

The heat in this mountain forest is different from that at home, it is a kind of stuffy heat, and the sweat beads on the cat's waist fall down as soon as you look down.

Zhou Shujie felt hot, and her clothes were wet.

Looking at the almost fifty pounds of bracken in the basket, she didn't want to pay attention.

She was afraid that she would step on too much and not be able to carry it back.

This back basket is fifty pounds, and it is basically full.

You're going to have to press it down, and you can hold at least ten pounds more.

Zhou Shujie really didn't want to pretend.

The 50 pounds were carried on her shoulders, and she felt the pain of burning in her shoulders.

Found a fallen tree in the shade.

She sat there and rested, and when she saw the bracken, she did not reach out to pick it.

Sister-in-law Guo stepped on them for a while, and they couldn't fit everyone's back basket.

Only then did he carry the basket to Zhou Shujie's side to meet.

Sister-in-law Guo, who walked to the front, put down the basket on her shoulder. sat on the inverted Shu, fanned the wind with the corner of his clothes, and asked Zhou Shujie: "I see that your back basket is not too full, why don't you step on it?"

Zhou Shujie grinned embarrassedly and said: "I can't carry it anymore if I pick too much, I feel that these are too heavy!"

At this time, the second sister-in-law Guo who had just come over answered: "Your body, you still have to be raised, it's too weak!"

Zhou Shujie didn't squeak, she looked at the back basket of Guo's second sister-in-law.

I can't even fit it!

Fill it with a twig or something else!

If you want to say that Zhou Shujie has fifty catties here, then Guo's second sister-in-law must have at least seventy catties.

Zhou Shujie thought in his heart: No matter how much I raise my body, it is impossible to have it, Guo's second sister-in-law is so energetic!

Seeing that people carry the seventy-pound back basket, it is like playing without even sweating, and you know that it is not difficult at all.

When everyone arrived, they sat down in the shade and rested for a while.

Sister-in-law Guo looked up at the sun, and wanted to feel that it was getting dark, so she said: "Let's find a place to eat, and after eating, if the basket is not full in the afternoon, we will step on it, and if I don't want to step on it, I will sit there and wait." ”

As soon as they heard that they were all right, they took up their baskets and went down the hillside to the ditch below, where there was a spring, and the water was cold and sweet, and very clean.

In their mountainous area, there are many such springs.

The villagers who went up the mountain would not bring water, and when they were thirsty, they would find the nearest spring to drink.

He went down the hillside and put the bracken basket in the shadow of the tree.

If you don't let the sun shine, it won't taste good when you go home with bracken.

Zhou Shujie looked at this group of sisters-in-law, still like girls, giggling and laughing, and they all went to the spring.

Wash your hands well in a place where there is running water.

The hands are stained with bracken pulp, and the whole fingers are burnt yellow, and there is really no way to eat if they are not washed.

I rubbed it twice vigorously before I felt much cleaner.

After washing your hands, go upstream.

A person drank two sips of cold spring water with his hand, and felt that it was particularly sweet in his mouth, and the heat on his body was suppressed at once, and he didn't sweat, and the whole person was cool.

After drinking the water, he returned to the shade of the trees.

I found a dry place and sat directly on the ground.

Each took out their own dry food and gathered together to prepare to eat.

Zhou Shujie opened the bottle of pickles she brought and put it in the middle, so that the sisters-in-law wanted to eat it for themselves.

The two sisters-in-law on the front street, one of them brought a handful of green onions and put them in the middle.

Zhou Shujie brought white-flour steamed buns.

The three sisters-in-law of the Guo family brought two faces, and the two sisters-in-law on the front street brought snail heads.

Two small wooden sticks were dug up from behind him, and the small forks were removed to make chopsticks.

Zhou Shujie ate the two big steamed buns he brought.

A canned bottle of pickles was also eaten by the sisters-in-law.

She took the canned bottle to the spring water, counted it twice, and made sure it was no longer tasteful before returning.

The reason why the bottle is so clean is because she wants to use the bottle when picking wild fruits for a while, so as to ensure the integrity of the fruit.

After eating, they rested here.

The two sisters-in-law on Front Street went to the mountains to pick bracken again, and their frames were similar to Zhou Shujie's.

In fact, it can be said that it is full, but they still want to step on the point and go again.

Sitting under a tree when you are full of food makes you feel drowsy.

But on this mountain, no one dares to sleep for fear of the wind.

The old people all said that the wind on the mountain is evil, and if you are affected by the wind, you will go home with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

They sat there, babbling on and out.

Sister-in-law Guo said: "In my mother's village, there is a drunk man who beats his wife when he is drunk. No one cared about him in the first few years, and he beat his wife again after the New Year this year, and I heard that his two sons who grew up were beaten, saying that he was honest now.

Guo's second sister-in-law also answered: "I think it's a light beating, if someone had beaten him earlier, he would have been honest."

Guo San's sister-in-law pursed her lips and smiled: "We are blessed, other people's old men are not like drunks, and they will inevitably beat their daughters-in-law when they quarrel." ”

Sister-in-law Guo nodded and said, "Isn't it? Those men are willing to do anything when they quarrel, do you say that women can beat them? Aren't we all at a loss?"

When Guo Er's sister-in-law heard this, she laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong, at least not entirely." My mother's house has a sister-in-law who is very powerful, the man in his family quarreled with her and beat her, she took advantage of the man in her family to sleep, holding a rolling pin and beating her head and buttocks, since then, I have never heard of her man doing anything with her. ”

…… Hahaha!

Listening to the three sisters-in-law chattering is very energetic!

Zhou Shujie really couldn't interject, she really didn't know what to say, she and Zhuzi had lived a lifetime, and she had never quarreled or moved.

While we were chatting, I heard the sound of brushing the aisle.

Looking back, it turned out that the two sisters-in-law had returned.

One of them hugged a hug of bracken, and they couldn't fit their frames, so they walked home with everyone satisfied.

Of course, I haven't forgotten the wild fruit.

I didn't know I could meet wild fruits before I came!

I didn't bring any containers, so I threw the curtain cloth for the steamed buns on the ground and picked it up.

Zhou Shujie has a canned bottle with pickles.

I ate it in my mouth while picking it.

Zhou Shujie stopped after eating two handfuls.

She really didn't dare to eat more, for fear of falling out of her teeth!

By the time she filled the cans and bottles, she hadn't picked much of this piece?

There are quite a few more!

The two sisters-in-law on the front street said that they would come back tomorrow and take it all home.

With a basket on his back and wild fruits in his hand, he embarked on his journey home.

Zhou Shujie felt that they had returned with a full load!
