"Mom, when is the barbecue?"

"There is no meat, how can you grill it?"

King Jin doesn't know where to go, Uncle Meow seems to be on strike, and it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

Waiting is not Yingfang's character.

She dusted off her hands, got up and said to her family, "Mom, you look at the baby eggs, I'll go to the woods to have a look, and pick up some firewood by the way." ”

"Why don't you wait for Xiao Li to come back, I'll go with you. Jiang Xinrou was not at ease.

Xiao Li went to the peach grove to find the golden retriever's home. This guy has a small family and forgot everyone, and he doesn't know that everyone has come to see it.

"It's fine, that's it, and it's safe here. ”

That's right. Don't you see so many herbivores making their home here? Jiang Xinrou said a few words, and didn't care much.

Before going to the woods, Yingfang first went to visit Lao Jin.

Old Kim's tomb stands on top of a slope, backed by a cliff and facing amber. A typical blessed land with mountains and rivers in the background, a house in this location in the Feng Shui Bureau can be called a treasure.

There is also a clump of green bamboo planted next to the grave, which is blessed and sheltered by the shade and blessed by the descendants of Mian.

And the bamboo grows towards the sky, which will not cause branches and leaves to grow horizontally and block the sun.

Lao Jin likes to lie on his stomach in the winter sun and bask his belly.

"The golden tooth is very good, since I followed Brother Gangzi to the barracks, one day at a time, I already have the momentum you had back then. I participated in the military dog race for the first time last year, and I returned with a full load, and in the future, I will definitely be even better......"

Ying Fang plucked the weeds that emerged from the grave as she spoke, and by the way, she added a few handfuls of soil to the grave bag, chattering with Lao Jin for a while, and then passed through the Nan forest.

Out of the Nan forest, I saw the ruins of the underground palace in the sinkhole at a glance, and my mood was a little complicated.

She already knew where the address on the map was in the treasure chest that Grandma had passed to her—this was it!

This was discovered by Xiang Gang by accident.

She just felt familiar at the time, and when she went back, she traced the route in her notebook, and once took a notebook to pick up notes, and was inadvertently swept by a man, and he had a super good memory, and recognized at a glance that the road map was very similar to the map in the treasure chest. After finding the map and checking it, I found that it was really here.

If you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable to think of this place as a treasure map, and it is not unreasonable to depict a treasure map in a precious place.

Although the whole palace collapsed due to the turn of the earth dragon, it is said that the palace owner's private treasury was very rich, and even the walls of the private treasury were carved from ivory jade. In addition, there are also private rooms of maids at all levels, who can follow the palace maids out of the underground palace, who doesn't have a net worth?

The question is, who is the person who traced this map?

Could it be that he/she, like himself, also came from that era, so he knew the wealth of the dungeon? But due to his limited personal ability, he could not dig up the collapsed dungeon, so he drew this map?

And the Secret Book of Easy Fist, which is obviously the target of the various major factions, how can it be packed with the map? and it has been lost to this world......

These questions have always been in Yingfang's mind all these years.

She didn't dare to confess her identity to Xiang Gang, and she couldn't find anyone to discuss, so she split the details one by one in different pages of the notebook, hoping that one day they would be strung together to find out the answer.

"Hiss-"

King Jin, who had not been seen for many days, finally appeared, and by the way, he hunted a fat hare and threw it in front of Yingfang, definitely wanting her to roast it for it to eat.

In return, it came back with another pheasant.

It's just called flower chicken for the big guys to eat.

Ying Fang patted Xiao Jin's head with satisfaction.

"Boom, boom—"

At this moment, a military helicopter flew in the distant sky, and it did not fly high, and it felt like it could reach it if it stood on the highest treetop in the forest.

Ying Fang watched the helicopter hovering over the east for a while, and then flew towards the southeast, thinking that there were troops stationed in the provincial military district in that direction, so she didn't think much about it.

In each hand, he carried a hare and a pheasant back to the grassy slope.

Xiao Li has returned, and the Golden Retriever family who came with him is begging for raspberries around the triplets.

The raspberries were picked by Jiang Xinrou for the triplets.

"On the other side of the lake, there are quite a few, but there is a large patch of wolfberry, and there are too many thorns to pick. ”

"I'll take a look. ”

The chickens and rabbits in his hands were taken over by Xiao Li to be washed, and the grill was watched by Sister-in-law Fu, and it was okay left and right, Yingfang carried a bamboo basket to pick raspberries on the other side of the lake.

Indeed, as my mother said, there was a large area of wolfberry bushes nearby.

The wolfberry is prickly, so it is called "iron fence", which forms the back of the fence wall and the branches are crossed, much like an iron fence.

In the early years, people who had no money to build a wall, were close to the foot of the mountain, and were afraid that the beasts would go down the mountain and break in, would plant a circle of wolfberry along the house.

Yingfang picked up a branch, opened the wolfberry bush and picked some raspberries, and then couldn't reach them. Instead, through the mottled bushes, I saw the old tea trees on the other side of the lake.

Slammed his thigh and stood up.

"Grandpa, grandpa, we forgot something big!" Yingfang ran back excitedly and handed the bamboo basket to the triplets, there were not many raspberries, but it was enough for them to have a tooth sacrifice with the golden retriever.

"What's the matter?" The old man sat on the stump and watched Xiao Li pluck chicken feathers, it was rare to see Xiao Sun Nan have such a hot time.

"Grandpa, have you forgotten what month it is?"

"What's wrong with May?

For their family, who have nothing else to do with farming except for their own land, it doesn't seem like a big day in May, right?

Ying Fang smiled mysteriously and pointed to the other side of the lake: "Tea! ”

"Ouch, hey!" the old man stood up excitedly when he heard this, "Yes, yes, yes, why did you forget about this! Qingming tea before the rain, hiss! I have already missed it, right? Qingming has passed early, and Gu Yu has passed for more than ten days, and summer will start in a few days, right? But it is better than remembering it in July and August. Let's go pick tea leaves!"

Last year, they remembered the old tea tree in the valley when it was summer, picked some tender leaves and went back, and it was always a little old, but the tea was still very fragrant after it was fried. The old man never forgot the tea before the Qingming rain, saying that he couldn't miss it again this year anyway, but the matter of being recommended indicators was interrupted, and his appetite was left behind.

As the old saying goes: the tea tree is a time grass, three days early is a treasure, and three days late is a grass. Because of the rain and the high temperature, the tea leaves are easy to grow, and "tea is thick overnight in the beginning of summer" is this reason.

Last year, I pinched the young leaves and made up two catties, and after frying it into dry tea, it was at most six or seven taels. divided three taels to Xia Lao, and the rest was given to the old man to drink, and that's it, and the flesh hurt for several days.

"You should be able to pick more this year, right?" the old man looked up at Yingfang who had climbed the branch with his cane, "Be careful, don't crush the branches." ”

Ying Fang staggered: "Grandpa, aren't you worried about me falling, but worried about the branches?"

The old man laughed twice: "This tree is big, but it can't be called tall, and it is a soft lawn when it falls, so it can't hurt." And you've always been cautious in doing things, can I still be at ease?"

Ying Fang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it.

Tea picking is a technical job.

Normally pick tea with a plucking method, not pinching. This is what the old man taught her, saying that it is a pinch off the bud head, which is easy to turn black after being fried into dry tea.

Secondly, the utensils for holding tea should be bamboo baskets, which are ventilated and breathable without being damaged by squeezing the tea leaves.

Before Yingfang went up to the tree, she tied the bamboo basket to her waist, and gently put the bud head into the bottom of the basket.

The triplets also ran over after eating the raspberries, and the old man stood under the tree and looked up.

As soon as the golden retriever's long arm grabbed it, he climbed up against the trunk, and saw Yingfang playing with the buds between the leaves, thinking that she was picking leaves, her eyes were a little dazed, this leaf is not delicious, what are you picking for?

But the golden retriever is a good boy, especially after becoming a father, he knows that he has to lead by example and enthusiastically help Yingfang-

threw a handful of leaves into the bamboo basket, and brought the red-haired face to Yingfang and blinked with big eyes to beg for reward: Is Lao Tzu well-behaved?

Follow the little monkeys who came up to the tree to learn from their fathers, and also pick up the leaves one by one, not too happy.

Yingfang had a black line: "Golden Retriever! This is a tea tree, I don't want leaves...... I want leaves, but not any leaves, it's this kind of sprout, don't mess around. ”

"Squeak!" the golden retriever aggrieved to the paw.

"Good, good, not troublemaking. But you can't do it. Come, lead your daughter-in-law and the babies down the tree, and then pick raspberries for you to eat later. ”

It's good to talk about it, so I coaxed the Golden Retriever family down from the tree.

The triplets learned that their mother was picking tea, and looked at it with their necks tilted for a while, feeling bored, and led the golden retriever to see the sister-in-law's barbecue and make flower chicken.

Asking the flower chicken to be wrapped in large leaves, smeared with mud and buried in the fire to roast, is far more interesting than watching tea picking.

Xiao Li finished his work and came to help pick tea.

The two of them picked up the sunset and swept the bamboo basket, at most a pound. Looking at the trees again, the tips of the buds that are emerging can probably pick another catty.

I have to stay here for one night, and I will get up early tomorrow to pick the buds, and I will go back in the afternoon to almost finish picking the buds. After a few days, wait for the new sprouts to sprout and come again, as the old man said, this year should be able to pick a few more stubble.

It is best to fry the tea leaves immediately, but there is no way to do it if the conditions do not allow, so you have to spread out and dry thinly.

Yingfang asked Xiaojin to carry the tea leaves outside with a bamboo basket, and she squeezed through the narrow cliff crevices, followed back to the forest ranger's house, and spread the tea leaves to dry on the wooden collapse in the house. Put it in the basket again at night before going to bed. It's better than keeping it in the basket all the time.

For Xiao Jin, who appears from time to time, the old man and others have long been accustomed to it.

I think that because they saved Xiang Gang and assisted him in killing the enemy, everyone's first impression of it is very good. In the past few years, from time to time, I have come up to brush up on a good impression, send some game to Yingfang's family or something, and the family has long regarded it as a supernumerary, and its status once surpassed the arrogant Uncle Meow and the golden retriever who forgot the "mother" with a daughter-in-law.

Picnics are all about wild food. Look at the family's dinner: the mud buns buried in the fire called flower chicken, the trash fish skewered on the fire, the wild vegetable porridge hanging on the fire, and the raspberries pulled out of the wolfberry bush and the wild mulberries picked by the small plum tree.

Mulberries are sweet, so many of them have been pecked away by birds, and what is left is still a little red, but even if it is red, the taste is very good, sweet and sour is very appetizing.

A few adults ate a few, and the rest were distributed to the triplets, and the corners of the mouths of the three babies were purple and red.

Before the sun set, the group returned to the forest ranger's house, and a large bonfire was lit in the open space in front of the house, burning dead branches, and from time to time there was a crackling explosion sound, which dispelled a lot of cold.

Ying Fang and Xiao Li separately sprinkled the tiger and wolf dung that Xiang had just prepared for them. Although Ying Fang was sure that Xiao Jin must be secretly protecting them, she didn't save this effort if she squandered the heart of her family.

"I remember the last time I stayed here for the night, it was early autumn, the mountain mosquitoes were called more than one, thanks to our foresight, we brought enough dried mugwort leaves, smoked inside and outside the room, and then hung the mugwort leaf sachet on the beam, which can be regarded as a good night's sleep. This time, I still brought dried mugwort leaves, even if there are no mosquitoes, and smoked bed bugs. ”

Jiang Xinrou said, taking out the dried mugwort leaves she brought with her, a small handful, but it can smoke in several places.

Ying Fang agreed: "It's still my mother who is thoughtful, so I'll just smoke it in the room." ”

The fire was divided into one, and the kettle was boiled with a kettle, and a cup of malt milk was brewed for each of the triplets.

"Drink slowly, be careful, and go to bed after drinking. ”

"Mom, someone's coming. Yan Yan, who was holding a wooden bowl and drinking malt milk essence, suddenly stopped and pulled the hem of Yingfang's clothes.

"The little guy's ear power is not ordinarily good. Xiao Li praised.

Because even he had just heard it. Although many of his own people were not very afraid, after all, there were old and young, he stood up vigilantly, picked up the modified shotgun, and protected it in front of everyone.

"It's me. Xiang Gang hurried in the moonlight.

"Why are you here?" Ying Fang hurriedly stepped forward, saw him sweating out, pulled him to the bonfire, poured some boiling water for him to cool, and found a towel for him to wipe his sweat first, "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold." ”

Xiang Gang saw that his family was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a towel and wiped it casually a few times, and said roughly in his throat: "...... I received news that a spy had fled in a helicopter after the incident, and it was suspected that he had parachuted in our forest area, and the annihilation team that had tracked it wanted to land directly, but it could not find a suitable landing site, so it went to the military region...... Fortunately, we installed a phone last year, otherwise it would not be easy to get in touch...... As soon as I received the news, I asked Xiao Pan to go down the mountain, in addition to informing the commune, I also asked him to go to the house to inform you, for fear that you will enter the forest these days......"

As a result, Xiao Pan came back and said that the door of his courtyard was closed, and he passed by to his second aunt and said that he saw them go out early in the morning, carrying a bamboo basket and a bamboo basket, and looked like he was going up the mountain, but he hadn't returned so late, and he was a little uncertain.

Aunt Xiang couldn't get it for sure, but Xiang Gang knew it as soon as he heard it, and he must have gone up the mountain.

The old man built three wooden houses outside the beautiful valley, and nine times out of ten he went to the valley to play and spend the night there.

He doesn't panic when he puts it aside, with Xiaojin here, this forest is like his back garden. But now it's different, who knows if those spies are carrying guns and ammunition.

It is true that the old man went to the battlefield in his early years, but now that he is old, it is not easy for him to act, let alone have triplets......

I was in a hurry, and after the search and arrest work was carried out, I hurriedly came to find them.
