Chapter 177: Hold the bold to death, starve the faint to death
The point is that the flesh is very soft, not as hard as apples and pears, and not like grapes and pomegranates that need to spit out seeds. After peeling off a thin layer of peel, the whole www.biquge.info is pulp, which is very suitable for the elderly.
Qingling happily squatted down and touched Xiao Madara's pointed head: "Thank you, Xiao Madara, for teaching me a new fruit!"
As if he understood her, he rubbed her trouser leg affectionately.
"Unfortunately, the basket was full, and I couldn't pick it all up. Qingling picked up a few intact ones, and wanted to take them back to the master and mother to try them, and the rest could only be left to rot in the ground. The temporary weaving of bamboo baskets is too late, expressing great regrets.
Xiao Jin flew back to her shoulder, condescendingly spit out the snake letter to Xiao Ban, I don't know what command was issued in snake language, Xiao Ban suddenly twisted his body, the scales rubbed, making a small sound, in this wind and sound of the forest, you can't tell if you don't listen carefully.
What seems to be a very small movement in the eyes of humans, the snake has already comprehended the outline. After a while, there was a rustling sound all around, and the two brothers of Little Spot led a group of snake brothers over, and the snake took a hairy fruit in its mouth and swam in the direction of the cave.
Qingling realized that she was here to help carry it.
What a good brother!
Secretly made up his mind - to take Xiaojin to sweep the nearby forest, dig out more bird eggs and wild eggs, and give the cute snake brothers as a thank you gift.
But it was too late to-day, so I lifted up my clothes and pocketed some hairy fruits, stepped on the sunset that was about to disappear, returned to the trap, tied the rabbits and pheasants with rattans, and almost touched the mountain in the dark.
The second elder of the Zhang family waited in the courtyard with a kerosene lamp, and saw her little person, dragging a large bundle of firewood and carrying a heavy basket back, and hurriedly came out to greet her.
"Why did you go to collect firewood? The firewood room is still full, don't you feel tired!" Grandma Zhang felt sorry for her, and couldn't help but say a few words to her.
Qingling grinned: "How can there be too much firewood." ”
"Yo! what is this?" Zhang Youkang saw that Qingling was still dragging a rattan in his hand, and when he saw through the dim light, he was actually dragging a rabbit and a pheasant, "caught in the trap?"
"yes. Qingling responded with a dry smile, wiped the non-existent sweat with a faint click, excused herself to urinate urgently, handed over the things to the teacher, and flashed to the thatched house behind the house.
Back in the hall, Grandma Zhang had already brought out dinner and beckoned Qingling to eat first, "Everything is there, I can't run, let's take care of it after eating." ”
Qingling was indeed hungry, holding the rice bowl and picking it up, eating half of it, thinking of the hairy fruit that Xiao Ban took her to know, she bent down and picked one up and asked the second elder: "Master, master, this is the wild fruit I found by accident, the taste is very good, the flesh is soft, and people with bad teeth can eat it." ”
Zhang Youkang didn't pay attention at first, but took it to his hand and looked at it: "Yo! ”
"Master, do you know?"
"Of course, who hasn't eaten this during a disaster year? In the past few years, I heard that there were wolves, so I didn't go up the mountain to collect again. Where did you pick it? Don't you go into the deep forest, do you?"
"How can it!" Qingling said hurriedly, "Just a little bit into the small slope forest, I saw that this thing is eaten by birds and birds, so I picked one and tasted it, I didn't expect it to taste so good, but unfortunately it's late today, if it's still early, I must make a few bamboo baskets and pick some more." ”
"Don't get too happy. Birds and finches dare to eat, that's because they fly high, you're on the ground, and who knows if there are any beasts nearby. Zhang Youkang Po apprentice Lengshui, "Good luck once or twice, it doesn't mean good luck every time, the wolf howl is still there, and the sound is farther away than before, but in the end it is in the same mountain, when will it come back." No matter how many good things there are in the mountains, you can't always trade your life for a small life......"
"Master, don't worry, I have the medicinal powder prepared by Brother Gangzi. And......" Qingling thought about it for a while, and decided to reveal a little, lest the second elder always be worried when she went up the mountain, "I don't know why, after the poisonous snake appeared in the house, I am no longer afraid of these little things." They seemed to understand what I was saying, and every time they saw me in the mountains, they would greet me in a friendly manner...... Really, don't believe me, master! A few times he even helped me catch pheasants. If there is any danger, they will notify me in their way......"
The second elder was completely stunned when he heard this.
"Master, master, ......" Qingling weakly tugged at the sleeves of the second elder.
"Ahem, what, what are you talking about?" Grandma Zhang came back to her senses earlier than her wife, and muttered in a suppressed voice, "Could it be that the two of them are really the two Jianjun who have a spirit in the sky to protect their daughter?"
"What are you talking nonsense! That's superstition, do you believe it too?" Zhang Youkang reprimanded.
"Otherwise, how can it be explained?" Grandma Zhang glared at her wife with a straight face, "The last time those poisonous snakes appeared so suddenly, and they were so psychic, you don't believe that they were sent by the two of Jianjun, and there are not too many people who believe in it like me." ”
"Okay, okay, whether it's or not, don't say that in the future. Zhang Youkang couldn't find the words to refute for a while, so he had to persuade his wife to stop talking.
Superstitious thinking is one of the four olds, I didn't see that the temples everywhere were smashed, monks and nuns were either arrested, or went to work in the field, whoever dared to commit crimes against the wind would end up like them.
Qingling often reads big-character posters, and usually listens to a lot, so she naturally knows these things, and hurriedly responds: "Well, let's just know this and don't say a word to outsiders." ”
"It's a must!" said the two elders in unison.
After finally passing the matter of going up the mountain, Qingling's hanging heart fell back to its original place, and she breathed a deep sigh of relief.
As long as the master and the master support, she doesn't care about other people's thoughts at all, no matter what they say.
There is a saying that "the bold are killed and the timid are starved", in fact, it can be applied anywhere.
After this day, the second elder rarely asked her about going up the mountain, at most he carefully told her a few words before going out, telling her to pay attention to safety and let her go down the mountain early to go home for dinner.
With the support of the master and the mother in disguise, Qingling's heart became freer, and she ran happily to the mountains every day after work, and moved home with a basket and a basket of herbs and wild fruits without money (this is really no money).
The open space in the front yard and the backyard is full of batches of harvests.
The most valuable thing is the two ten-year-old mountain ginseng. This was discovered by Qingling herself, but when she was digging, because Xiaojin, the king of the mountain, was in charge, she didn't have to think about any danger at all, and easily dug up the two mountain ginseng plants back home.
After Zhang Youkang concocted it himself, one plant was tied with red thread and wrapped in red silk cloth, insisting on giving Qingling as a dowry, and the other plant was soaked in a jar of medicinal wine together with other medicinal herbs. After soaking, divide it into small bottles, and prepare a little for each family.
