Chapter 224: Autumn Mountains and Forests (3)
The sky at this time of year is blue and high, and even the white and soft white clouds look particularly beautiful at this time. An autumn wind blew, and the air was filled with the smell of harvest.
At this time, Cui Jinxi's Cui family didn't sleep lazy, and got up early to go to the morning exercise with his grandfather. The two little apprentices who originally thought they would meet their grandfather, how did they know that the brother and sister didn't come today, and I don't know why he still has some regrets.
In the yard, a few gardenia trees are still as green as new, but they have lost those beautiful white and fragrant flowers, but they still look vibrant.
Cui Jinxi adapted quickly, after all, it was not the first time to come here, this was not coming back from the morning exercise outside, he went around the house, and finally he went to the yard to chop wood with an axe.
In the corners of the yard were piles of wood and branches, long or short, thick or thin. Grandpa said that these wood trunks were brought by the neighbors, and the neighbors had two young men who were very diligent, and even his grandmother had mentioned them many times, saying that the two of them were capable and filial, and they also liked to eat all kinds of snacks made by her old man......
When the old man mentioned his neighbors, he talked a lot, and his face was smiling, and he felt a little surprised just by looking at it, and it was sour.
In fact, Cui Jinxi is not jealous of his grandparents' kindness to the neighbor's children, he is a little sad, as a grandson, he can't be filial piety by the old man's side, and these rough jobs can't be shared......
But after thinking about it, now that he is here, by his grandparents' side, he will take care of his grandparents and make up for the lost time. Thinking of this, Cui Jinxi's motivation is more sufficient, and he doesn't feel tired when chopping firewood.
In this small village, every household will store firewood for the winter, or go up the mountain to cut some dead branches, or leave corn stalks in the field, although there are also honeycomb coal, coal, but after all, not every family can use it.
Of course, the Cui family belongs to the family that can use coal and honeycomb coal, such conditions are very good in the village, and the chopping of these firewood is also because the old lady likes to use firewood to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables, saying that the food made like that is more fragrant.
The old lady stood under the eaves of the hall, smiling and watching her grandson chopping wood, although the grandson's work was a little rusty, but no matter how the old lady looked, she felt that her grandson was really capable.
Ten minutes passed, Cui Jinxi faintly felt some pain in his hands, he shook his hand, casually rubbed the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, looked at the pile of dead wood in the corner, he took a deep breath, and then swung the axe to continue chopping wood, this task is to chop this pile.
Next to a waterfall in the depths of the mountain, the four of them were resting for a short time, and the fog was very heavy in the morning, and the four of them thought that the weather would change.
The waterfall is from high to bottom, there is a circular waterhole below, the dark green color should be very deep, the water of the waterhole flows leisurely from west to east to form a stream more than two meters wide, the stream water is crystal clear, and the unknown aquatic plants at the water's edge are still green at this season, with full of vitality.
The four of them didn't stay long by the stream, and after simply eating and replenishing water, they began to walk into the mountains and forests again. In the depths of the mountains, the warblers are crying, the colorful fallen leaves are scattered with the wind, the red leaves are gorgeous and dazzling, and the sound of the pine waves is bursting, which is really autumn.
On the way to this walk, chestnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, fungus, and other mountain goods are countless, so that Gu Sisi is even more happy is that they found some wild fruit trees, pear, wild grapes, plums, kiwifruit, although some were pecked by birds, animals destroyed, intact fruit is still a lot, but this thing accounts for not to mention the fear of rotting, the four of them discussed the place and picked it again when they returned.
At this time, Gu Sisi's back basket was filled with a few herbs, which was still far from her goal of entering the mountain this time. Gu Sisi was not in a hurry, she carefully observed the grass around her, and paid attention to whether there were any medicinal herbs inside.
Gu Xing'an followed closely behind his sister, he couldn't look for herbs, his eyes were very bright when he was looking for food, "Little sister, my brother just found a few walnut trees, wait for us to come over and fight more, go back to dry not only can you sell them, but you can also make walnuts to eat." ”
"Well, brother, you need to eat more to make up for the form. Gu Sisi was looking for medicinal herbs, and when she heard her eldest brother's words, she didn't reply, and said a word in a glutinous manner.
"Poof!" As soon as these words came out, Gu Xing'an didn't react, but Arnold, who was not far from them, couldn't help laughing.
Arnold looked at the little girl who was digging herbs and quipped: "Oh, my little sister Sisi, your brother doesn't seem to have reacted to what you mean!"
"Brother Arnold, you should also pick more walnuts, go back and eat more, it's always right to make up for them. The corners of Gu Sisi's mouth curled slightly, and he replied very unkindly.
"Uh. When Arnold heard this, his whole body felt bad, and the little girl meant that he was stupid!
Qi Zhenze looked at Arnold with a sad face, raised his eyebrows, and said to the little girl who had just gotten up: "Sisi, is this the lampstand seven you want?"
Gu Xing'an looked at the little sister and the eldest brother who were digging herbs head-to-head, turned his head and asked Arnold, who was talking to himself, and said, "Brother Arnold, what did you mean by what you said just now? Why did I react? Didn't my little sister and I talk about walnuts just now, why did my little sister let you eat more walnuts!"
"Ahh......h Can this bear kid react more slowly!
"Hey, Brother Arnold, you haven't made it clear what you mean!" Gu Xing'an looked at Brother Arnold's back, looking inexplicable, "It's really strange, what did you say just now?"
In the dense mountain forest, the leaves are colorful. The wolf dogs Mo Feng and Mo Er scurried around in the forest with joy, catching rabbits for a while and chasing birds for a while, while the leopard cat lightning had already jumped into the forest and disappeared, and Gu Sisi was also used to the little guy disappearing at any time, so he simply focused on finding herbs.
The four of them have a clear division of labor, Gu Sisi and Qi Zhenze are responsible for finding and digging herbs, and Arnold and Gu Xing'an are decorating the basket in the back, there is no way, who makes them both think that herbs look the same.
The jungle is very deep, and after some exploration, although the four of them have not found any valuable medicinal materials at present, they still have harvested a lot of good medicinal materials, such as the seven lampstands, seven lotus, turmeric, soul rejuvenating grass, notoginseng, Jin Buchang, and so on.

At noon, the four of them walked through the dense woods to a leeward hillside where a large field of wild chamomile flowers was blooming in the sun, yellow flowers undulating with the autumn wind, and lush green foliage.
