The mountain forest that Ah Gong took everyone to was really far away, all the way over the mountains and mountains, sometimes into the dense shady forest, sometimes into the dense grass that was a few heads higher than the friends, and there was a short road even stepping on the old vines that had grown for many years, through the canyon!

This natural "rattan bridge" looks very safe, the entangled vines are thick and thick enough, and there are old vines on both sides that can be climbed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This way, there is no obvious road mark at all, it is all led by Ah Gong in front, and explained to everyone: this belongs to the deep mountains and old forests, and there are no adults to bring them in the future, but you can't come by yourself, otherwise you will get lost! Lost in this big mountain forest, it is difficult for adults to find it for a day and a half!

A group of children between the ages of seven and twelve, especially a few boys, usually go up the mountain to chop firewood, but it is also the first time to enter such a deep mountain forest, along the way, they are not afraid to complain that the road is far and difficult, but they are amazed and amazed by the place they have walked and the scene they have seen.

The girls walked for a long time, and they didn't show fatigue, they could still squeak and talk, and they were in good spirits, Xiao Man thought that it should be the effect of the pot of chrysanthemum tea that he had boiled and cooled in advance, and used Lingquan water, and threw in a few wild chrysanthemums that were also pulled out of the space grass last night, everyone came to her yard to gather, and by the way, they brought an empty bamboo tube and an empty kettle to fill the well water, Xiao Man asked them all to fill with boiling water, saying that it was cool to prevent heat stroke, and they also drank a bowl of water when they poured water, and these water should be enough to maintain their physical strength.

Eleven children, in addition to Xiaoman, are Qiu Xiaohu and Jiang Xuehua, Mo Shuixia, Mo Yuanzhi, Mo Shuiyue, Mo Linghui and her ten-year-old niece Mo Xiaoting, Ai Lan and Guan's second brother and Guan third sister.

Those who can't come are all the children of the neighborhood, no way, this small piece in the east of the village is a new residential area, in recent years, there have been young couples who have been separated to come to live, the second generation is still young, the original largest is Qiu Xiaohu and Jiang Xuehua, and now Xiaoman and Grandpa live in the educated youth house, which is Xiaoman's boss.

Ah Gong took everyone into a small and small mountain forest with good light on all sides, and said: "Here it is, there are rice vertebrae and mountain chestnuts and pecans in this forest, and there are also a few lemon trees, mountain grapes and figs growing on the mountain stones, that thing is not pressed, you first pick up enough rice vertebrae and mountain chestnuts and pecans, and then take you over there to see." ”

Ah Gong pointed to a few places where the mountain fruit trees were, and checked them everywhere, and then told not to climb the trees, it was enough to just pick up the ones that fell on the ground, and don't run around.

After saying that, Ah Gong carried the basket on his back and went into the tall weeds and disappeared.

Everyone immediately dispersed and ran under the tree to pick up rice spine or beat chestnuts and pecans.

There are three or four rice vertebrae trees that grow together in this mountain forest, it seems that the age of the tree is very bitter and old, anyway, the tree body is a few people hugging together, no wonder Ah Gong is not worried that they will climb the tree, the rice vertebrae will fall to the ground by themselves when they are mature, there is no need to climb at all, it is now August and it is not much to fall, but several trees are together in a row, the layer under the tree is very considerable, basically enough for everyone to pick up, if you wait until late autumn or early winter, you can imagine how thick the layer of the ground under the tree will be, when no one picks it up, it will be a harvest for the small animals in the forest。

Chestnuts and pecans also fall by themselves, but it may be a bit of weight because of the larger ones, these two are usually dropped together with the outermost shell, the chestnuts are actually wild chestnuts, the shell is a ball of burrs will prick people, you have to hold down a stick in one hand, smash it with a stone in the other hand, smash the burr and take out the seeds inside, it is still quite difficult to ask for procedures; the pecan is a round ball, and you have to knock it out to take out the walnut with staggered grooves inside, and you need to smash it again if you want to eat the nuts......

A burst of ping-pong sound, mixed with children's shouts and laughter, livened up the entire mountain forest, frightened countless forest birds and pheasants, and even the sun seemed to be more blazing.

In less than an hour, everyone picked up almost, the cloth bag bulged, and the back basket was also filled with most of it, rural children are accustomed to labor, and they know how to do what they can, and they can't chew it out if they are greedy.

If you don't pick up rice vertebrae, you won't be idle, everyone began to drill around, to find the lemon fruit that Ah Gong said, the boys are not interested in sour fruits, usually they go up the mountain to chop firewood, Mo Yuanzhi led the second brother Guan and Qiu Xiaohu into the grass, to search the pheasant nest, to see if they can find the pheasant and bird eggs.

A few big girls took the little girls, some continued to smash chestnuts and walnuts, some went to pick lemon fruits, Xiao Man took a firewood knife and walked in the woods, carefully looking to see if he could pick a few herbs, most of the circle turned down but found nothing, and when he walked back, he raised his head and had an unexpected harvest!

On an old maple tree that is not too tall and crooked, I found two clumps of coral-like plants growing on the branches of the maple tree-maple parasitism!

This is also a kind of medicinal herb, a good medicine for cough and expectorant!

Originally, I thought that after a few decades, the tree-climbing skills had deteriorated, but as soon as Xiao Man went up the tree, he was quite flexible, and he climbed up a few times with a whoosh, and collected the two clumps of maple parasites.

After that, I looked around, but I didn't find any similar parasitic plants.

Back to the place where the basket cloth bag was stacked, the friends heard that these things that Xiao Man was holding were actually medicinal materials, and they were all surprised, of course, they were even more surprised that Xiao Man actually knew medicinal materials, Xiao Man said: "What's so strange about this? My grandfather has been picking up medicinal herbs all his life, I follow him, and I also help him dry medicinal materials, as long as you pay attention, you can recognize it!"

Mo Linghui and Mo Shuixia nodded in agreement, but Ai Lan questioned: "How difficult it is to recognize this herb, it is wilted when it is plucked, it is definitely different from the freshly grown, don't be mistaken!"

"How else do you say that you have to be 'attentive'? I don't recognize it once or twice, look at it a dozen times, and then make comparisons, and have Grandpa help to see it, it's not difficult!" Xiao Man replied.

Ai Lan was skeptical: "Really?"

Mo Shuixia glanced at Ai Lan: "Your grandfather also has a family heirloom, or you try to often help your grandfather with a pig and a chicken, maybe ......."

Mo Linghui laughed, Ai Lan pounced on Mo Shuixia again, and the two chased and scuffled. (To be continued.) )
