Section 276: Treading the snow to find bamboo shoots
The two hesitated forward, crawled for a long time before turning over the mountain in front of them, came to another peak, from a distance at the peak of the mountain there were already some people looking for something in the snow, and when they got closer, they saw the residual snow pressed on a cluster of bamboo, the bamboo branches and leaves were scattered, like lotus leaves, and the branches of the bamboo showed a faint red color, which was beautiful.
The man who walked on the snow and looked for bamboo shoots swept the snow on the ground with a small shovel and a broom in his hand, rummaging carefully. As the two of them walked, they suddenly heard a crisp female voice cheering, "I found it." ”
The female voice Mu Sheng sounded a little familiar, but it was Ah Lian according to the reputation.
"Ah Lian, you also came to dig bamboo shoots. Mu Sheng said hello.
"Yes, dig some bamboo shoots to supplement the family. Ah Lian straightened up and shook her hand to say hello to Mu Sheng.
"How many bamboo shoots have you dug up?" asked Mu Sheng.
Hearing Mu Sheng's question, Ah Lian was a little discouraged: "Don't mention it, I've only dug up dozens of them in this little half a day." As he spoke, he handed the basket to Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng glanced into the basket, and there were more than a dozen pink bamboo shoots lying in the basket, which looked like toes.
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "It's not bad, these dozen bamboo shoots can also sell more than ten low-grade spirit stones." ”
"Ah, is there so many, but why did the Beiguo family only give more than ten taels of silver to buy from us?" Ah Lian opened her mouth in surprise.
Mu Sheng secretly said, "It's bad!" Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly said: "If this bamboo shoot is fresh, it is indeed a bamboo shoot and a low-grade spirit stone, but this bamboo shoot is not durable to put it for a long time, and if it is put for a day without any spiritual power, it will be worthless, not to mention a low-grade spirit stone, even if it is worth one or two silver." ”
Ah Lian frowned and said: "If this is the case, the Beiguo family will not come to collect the bamboo shoots in our hands, so what must they do to keep the aura of the bamboo shoots?"
Mu Shengdao: "That's right, they are people who cultivate the truth, there are always some immortal means, maybe it only takes an hour to reach Gyeonggi from here, and it is naturally a logical thing to sell the bamboo shoots, so it seems that this money should also be earned by them." ”
Ah Lian sighed: "Also, who made them cultivators, they are different from us in the first place! He laughed bitterly at himself.
Tan Taixin looked at Ah Lian and asked, "You are the sister of Brother Ah Hu, Sister Ah Lian, right?"
"Are you?" said Lian, looking at Taixin suspiciously.
"He's my cousin, Tan Taixin. Mu Sheng hurriedly introduced: "This is Sister Ah Lian. ”
"Sister Ah Lian is good. Yu Taixin shouted obediently.
Ah Lian smiled: "My brother's mouth is so sweet." As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to touch the new head. But he was avoided by Tan Taixin with a disgusted face.
Ah Lian's outstretched hand was embarrassed and didn't know where to put it, Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and shouted angrily: "Tan Taixin, what do you mean by this?"
Tan Taixin said with a look of grievance: "Sister Ah Lian is not much older than me, so I feel that I am much younger than her." ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he glanced at Ah Lian, and then at Lan Taixin, isn't it, the age difference between the two is not much, it is only three or four years old, and the size is not too different, Ah Lian is only a little taller than Tan Tai Xin, and if you don't look carefully, you may not see it very much, and you can't help but wonder.
Ah Lian heard what Taixin said, but she didn't follow: "What do you mean that I can't be much younger, and I have to call my sister to know if I am younger?" Hmph, I praised you for your sweet mouth just now, but now I know that you are a big ghost." ”
"yes, Sister Ah Lian, how do you know that I'm a ghost, then I'm here to scare you at night. As he spoke, he grimaced, stuck out his tongue, and elongated the corners of his eyes.
This Taixin itself has a bit of a ghostly atmosphere, and at the moment he is deliberately dressing up like this, it seems that he can't help but feel a little eerie during the day, and he looks weird.
Ah Lian snorted and said, "I'm going to die, it's so hard to look like it scares me." "Talking about making a gesture to fight.
Tan Taixin flashed behind Mu Sheng's back, and made a grimace to scare her. Mu Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two fighting, and in a trance, he saw the shadow of home on the two of them, and thought of his younger brothers and sisters.
"Okay, Taixin, we're here to dig up spiritual shoots, not to play, and we don't apologize to Sister Ah Lian?" Mu Sheng stopped the fight between the two in time.
Tan Taixin reluctantly apologized to Ah Lian. Mu Sheng asked, "What is the trick of finding and digging bamboo shoots?" ”
Ah Lian thought for a while and said, "There's no trick, it's just to look carefully in front of Han Yizhu." This bamboo shoot is also strange to say, it only grows under the snow, as long as the snow melts in spring, the bamboo shoots will become bamboo, and it will not be eaten. ”
"Be careful when looking for it, don't step on it with one foot, and step on a good nest of bamboo shoots, it will be worthless. As she spoke, Ah Lian picked up the broom and gently swept it around the root of a clump of bamboo, but after sweeping it around, she didn't find anything, and Ah Lian swept the snow back.
Tantai said in a new way: "Sister Ah Lian, why did you sweep the snow back again." ”
Ah Lian sighed and said, "The bamboo shoots from this one haven't grown yet, and if you don't sweep the snow back, they won't grow." ”
"Oh, that's it!" "Yu Taixin understood, and he also learned Ah Lian's movements to sweep the snow among the bamboo shoots.
Although this bamboo shoot is not of much benefit to Mu Sheng, but there is nothing to do, Mu Sheng also joined the team to find the bamboo shoots, and searched for it in the snow with everyone.
This bamboo shoot is very delicate, and if you sweep it hard with a broom, you will break the bamboo shoot without paying attention to it, resulting in the loss of spiritual power, and this bamboo shoot needs to be cut directly from the root, so as to ensure that the spiritual power will not be lost too much in one day.
The bamboo shoots are the size of toes, and the snow is thick and can't be seen directly from the top, so you have to sweep the snow away, Mu Sheng sighed, and secretly said in his heart that this is not good without spiritual power, the divine sense can't be released, and the situation under the snow can't be checked.
Now I have no choice but to sweep the bamboo forest next to the bush, and sweep the bamboo forest three times in a row, but there is no harvest, until the fourth bamboo forest is swept to the fourth bamboo forest, Mu Sheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that there are clusters of pink and fleshy bamboo shoots buried under the snow.
Mu Sheng used his hands to pick up the floating snow, revealing the roots of the bamboo shoots, and carefully shoveled the bamboo shoots into the cloth bag he carried with him with a shovel.
Suddenly, Mu Sheng found a different kind of bamboo shoots, pink and crimson lines were intertwined, fine and dense all over the bamboo shoots, looking like someone had put a splendid coat on the bamboo shoots.
