Gu Zheng, who was very satisfied with his masterpiece, began to pick up the extremely large bag of straw mushrooms at his feet.

This thing can be left for most of it, and it can be dried in the mountains, and it is just used as a filling for cooking soup at home, so that my father and mother can try it first.

When the whole family comes to the mountains together, they can eat as much as they want.

Gu Zheng, who had planned it, used an extremely tough thatch on the side as a tool to pass through the blades of these grass mushrooms, and strung the largest and whitest grass mushrooms into several strings like flower crowns according to the number of ten.

After Gu Zheng tossed the weight with his hand, he confirmed that his little sister could carry it and it was not too difficult, so he stopped his pace of continuing to pack.

At this time, the younger brother and sister who were already full of sparkling eyes, carrying the washed red bubbles that were still full of clear stream water, ran back, one person ran to Gu Zheng as if offering treasures, and one person ran to Gu Second Uncle Gu, and raised his arm with a brush, as if he had discussed it, and said: "Brother, second uncle, eat the fruit." ”

Seeing Gu Zheng and Second Uncle Gu here, they looked at each other and smiled, and after symbolically pinching a red fruit, they touched the top of their hair that was still a little fluffy and said, "It's so sweet, my brother and second uncle don't like to eat sweet, Gu Bao, Gu Bei, you two eat it yourself." ”

Gu Bao and Gu Bei, who had received approval, smiled brightly, they grabbed a handful with their small hands that were not too long, and stuffed it into their mouths.

Because of the small mouth, Gu Bei's mouth was circled, and it was instantly stained with red juice.

Let Gu Zheng, who had been observing from the side, poof out when he couldn't hold it back, only to provoke the two children who sat in a row together, blankly holding a red mouth circle, looking at the eldest brother who laughed at them inexplicably, and pouted.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng coughed, and advised: "Eat quickly, go down the mountain after eating, don't delay your efforts, before feeding, you must rush back to the village, it is night in the mountain, the road can't be said, and there are too many dangers." ”

"Remember, go around the point, don't let people see the rabbit. ”

"Hey!"

Hearing the eldest brother say this, Gu Bao is still a child who knows what to do, he shook the small bag that his mother sewed for him on weekdays from the side of his belt, carefully put the uneaten red bubbles in his hand, and stretched out his hand in the direction of Gu Zheng: "Brother, give me the things first, and I'll take my sister home." ”

Gu Zheng looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a section, and when you can see the sheep's intestines, you will go by yourself." ”

At that time, it was not far, and it was down a small slope.

With her brother's assurance, Gu Bao's face was full of joy, while Gu Bei looked blankly at the small half of the red bubbles in her hand that she hadn't finished eating, she was very greedy, and she didn't have the perseverance of her little brother, so she could wait until the evening to eat.

Seeing the youngest sister with such a small appearance, Gu Zheng took the initiative to squat in front of Gu Bei, revealing his broad back, and instructed: "Oh, lie on my brother's back, wrap my brother's neck, and you can stuff it into your mouth to eat." Let's eat as we go. ”

But after Gu Zheng really said this, this Gu Bei strengthened her determination, and she also stuffed the remaining few red bubbles into her pocket like a little brother, and suddenly pounced on Gu Zheng's back: "No, I won't eat it, my brother hasn't carried me for a long time, the juice of the red bubbles is sticky and not easy to wash." ”

"I just have to carry it. ”

A little thing climbed up Gu Zheng's back with a drag, and hugged his eldest brother's neck full of happiness.

And Gu Bao, who looked like a little adult, put on the grass mushrooms prepared by Gu Zheng, dressed himself up like a flower, followed behind Gu Zheng step by step, and began to walk towards the bottom of the mountain.

On the way down the mountain where Gu Zheng hugged and resisted from time to time, the three of them laughed like this, but the speed was not slow.

Gu Zheng in the forest, his powerful physical fitness made him swish like an ape.

By the time the familiar forest path appeared, the sky outside was still bright.

Seeing that the terrain had finally calmed down, Gu Zheng, who had bent over, put Gu Bao and Gu Bei on the ground.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road, go back and make it clear to your parents, don't make such a mistake again." ”

Hearing what the eldest brother said, Gu Bao knew that he was scared at this time, he twisted the expression on his face into a twist, his shoulders drooped down, and he said weakly: "Oh." After that, he waved his hand vigorously in the direction of Gu Zheng, grabbed Gu Bei's little hand, and put the hare handed over by Gu Zheng on his shoulder, and went down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It wasn't until his younger brothers and sisters stepped on the gentle flat road along the crooked path that Gu Zheng shook his somewhat sore arms, ran up one by one, grabbed a bend-neck tree, and sank into the dense mountains and forests.

On the way back, Gu Zheng went straight to the place where he had cut down the wood earlier, and after cutting down the branches and tools of the fallen logs, he dragged a whole log and began to walk in the direction of the valley.

Now that only the second uncle is left to work over there, it's time to give yourself a whole meal.

When he came to the valley, Gu Zheng saw that there was no one in the old wooden house, and the rabbits and grass mushrooms that were originally placed on the steps were gone.

Gu Zheng, who knew what the second uncle was doing, was very clever to gather the dead branches and leaves that were cleaned up outside the house, and lit the bonfire as soon as he made a firewood pile.

After a short period of effort, Second Uncle Gu brought back the two rabbits that had been skinned and cleaned up, and brought back the copper basin that was both a pot and a pot.

A whole rabbit was chopped into pieces by Gu Zheng, who took over, with a machete, and the rest of the other one was set up on the bonfire by Second Uncle Gu, and roasted with charcoal in a circle.

'Bell'

The rabbit pieces were tossed into the pot, followed by a handful of washed grass mushrooms, with no extra spices.

But the boiling water, the aroma of meat and fat that was stimulated by the boiling water, was spread in this valley.

After a while, the soup in the copper basin turned a milky white color.

As the boiling soup rolls, the meat and mushrooms dance together.

Even if there are no very rich ingredients today, it can't erase the deliciousness of rabbit meat itself.

When the muscle fibers on the meat pieces become completely white, and when they are inserted with bamboo chopsticks, they have the unique elasticity of the texture after heating, Gu Zheng knows that this pot of rabbit soup is cooked.

At this time, Second Uncle Gu carefully took out a clay pot from his arms, opened the lid, gently twisted a handful of salt with two fingers, and spilled it into the pot with his heartache.

The wooden spoon on the side stirred gently, and the two rustic large bowls divided the half pot of soup into seven points.

After a day of work, there is this hot soup and hot water, not to mention how wonderful the taste is.

Gu Zheng, who spit out a rabbit bone in three or two bites, found that the two rabbits had really lost weight.

However, this large handful of straw mushrooms is fat with an umbrella cover, chewed in the mouth, and has the texture of this meat.

Filled a lot of gaps for the empty stomach like a bottomless pit.

"Ah, it smells so good. ”

Gu Zheng sat by the fire on the first day of Rushan, taking advantage of the time when the night had not yet arrived and the sun was setting, looking into the distance.

The entrance to the valley was blocked by seven or eight logs stacked on top of each other with branches.

Behind them, there is still half of the monolithic structure, which can be temporarily used as shelter from the wind and rain.

On the gentle lawn, the plan for the facilities to be built in the future is divided in a patchwork manner.

It was as if hope was right next to them, smiling at each other.

The atmosphere in the valley is peaceful, but the atmosphere in the cottages in the villages outside the mountains is not very good.

Gu Lao Niang stood at the door of her courtyard with her waist crossed, anxiously looking in the direction of the mountain.

Her feet on the edge of the door stepped out and then retracted.
