The day after the fish were sprinkled in the Wujiayuzi Reservoir, it rained heavily, and the weather was a little hot after the rain.

The day did not clear, and after two o'clock in the afternoon, the rain became lighter, and gradually changed from a heavy rain in the morning to a light rain.

Wang Shaodong saw that the rain had become lighter, so he urged Zhao Shihai to hurry home to help coax the children, and the Songbai Mountain Chicken Farm had just filled the chickens with feed, and the work of cleaning the chicken coop would only need to be done tomorrow, so there was nothing busy on the mountain for the time being. So, he left Zheng Hui, Zheng Tao and Wang Yuliang to watch their homes on the mountain, while he carried an umbrella and planned to go to the reservoir to have a look.

The reservoir is almost full, and the fry have just been released, and I don't know if any of the fry have overflowed from the dam of the reservoir.

As soon as it rained, it was difficult to walk on the muddy path on the hillside, and after stepping on it, after walking a few steps, the soles of my feet were covered with mud, and it was very uncomfortable to walk.

In fact, sometimes you will see that on the mountain path, many farmers carry farm tools, carry mud-stained cloth shoes, and walk barefoot on the mud road.

Originally, there were few broken glass and broken stone slag on the road, but then the whole road was full of broken glass and broken stone slag.

Wang Shaodong did not dare to wear cloth shoes and sandals, but wore long leather boots, which are very useful in the mud after the rain.

However, even if he was wearing long leather boots, Wang Shaodong did not dare to take a shortcut to climb the mountain. The chicken coop of Songbai Mountain Wang Shaodong is less than 500 meters away from the reservoir, and it is the closest distance if you turn over the watershed between Wujiayuzi Mountain and Songbai Mountain. However, this road is too steep, there are several places where you need to climb big rocks, and the rain is too slippery and dangerous, so Wang Shaodong does not dare to take that road.

To get to Wujiayuzi Reservoir, Wang Shaodong can only return to Taohualing Village first, and then turn back to Wujiayuzi Reservoir, so he has to walk three miles.

In the fields in August, those who ploughed sweet potato seedlings, harvested corn, watched peanut sorghum and other dealers, pinched millet, and people came and went.

Originally, the main business of the rural people was farming, and there was nothing to do except farming. After 2003, for the people in Dazhai Township, farming is not the main business, and going out to work to make money is the most important thing.

Farming is not profitable, just pointing to two or three acres of land for a person can starve people to death.

Walking down from the mountain, when the villagers met Wang Shaodong, they would greet him with a smile, "Go down the mountain, Dongzi." ”

And Wang Shaodong will also be so enthusiastic that those who should be called uncles are called uncles, and those who should be called uncles are called uncles. Descending the mountain road, Wang Shaodong's long leather boots were already covered with mud, and they rushed in front of the tap at the head of the village, and then Wang Shaodong turned around and walked along the Nanda Road of the Wujiayuzi Reservoir.

Go south from Nanda Road, cross the ridge east of Wujiayuzi, and you will arrive at Qingquanling. The entire mountain range of Wujiayuzi and Songbai Mountain is the dividing line between Taohualing Village and Qingquanling Village.

Wang Shaodong's home is in the easternmost part of Taohualing Village, commonly known as Dongpo in the village, and now Wang Shaodong has come to the southernmost part of the village, which is more than 100 meters away from their home, and it is about three alleys to arrive. Wang Shaodong didn't plan to go home, he called his father once in the morning, and knew that the family was going to give the chicks tomorrow to prevent the epidemic with chicks, so he had to go back tomorrow, and he didn't plan to go back today. Tomorrow, not only will he have to go down the mountain to the chicken farm, but it is estimated that he will have to transfer two people from the mountain, and Zheng Hui and Zhao Shihai will be left on the mountain to take care of the house.

Walking along Nanda Road for 100 meters, Wang Shaodong suddenly heard someone shouting his name behind him, so he hurriedly turned around.

"Wang Meina."

Wang Shaodong saw that Wang Meina was holding an umbrella and wearing a red long leather boot, and ran towards him.

"Brother, brother, why are you going?"

Wang Meina was out of breath and chased after her, running on this muddy road required much more energy than usual. It can be seen that Wang Meina is tired.

"Oh, take a look at the reservoir. What are you doing, girl? ”

Wang Shaodong and Wang Meina always call each other brother and sister on the buckle, and after Wang Meina arrived in Taohualing Village, this name has not changed. The Wang family suddenly came to a delicate-looking girl, and the people in the village naturally discussed, and when they asked about Zhao Shiling, Zhao Shiling said that Wang Meina was Wang Shaodong's sister.

Wang Meina carried a plastic bag in her hand, then lit it up to Wang Shaodong, and said with a smile: "My aunt said that there is land on the mountain, so I want to pick some of it, and let my aunt make egg soup at night." Hey, I said brother, why don't you go home for dinner at night, last time Aunt Yujiang and us had some land to beat an egg to make a soup, but it was delicious. ”

The ground skin, also known as the ground ear, egg skin, is a kind of fungus that grows in the dry grass pile on the mountain after the rain, the nutritional value is rich, the taste is delicious, and the cold salad is a beautiful ingredient.

Wang Shaodong has almost never seen this kind of thing since 2006, but when he was a child, in Wang Shaodong's memory, the land was his dream delicacy.

It's only 2003 now, and there should still be this kind of good thing on the mountain.

"What? When have you eaten the crust? Wang Shaodong asked anxiously.

"At noon today, Aunt Yujiang took advantage of the heavy rain to pick it up on the mountain."

When Wang Shaodong just wanted to ask why he didn't call to let him try it out, he thought that it was still raining heavily at that time, and his parents must have been worried that the road was not safe, so he didn't call him.

"Oh, then you've picked up the land this afternoon, and you'll have to give me a try."

Wang Shaodong wanted to say that he hadn't eaten this thing for more than ten years.

In my childhood, there were many things from the mountains, but later, I never ate them, and there were no ones sold in the supermarket in the city, which is a pity.

For example, there is also "blind touching" - a small insect the size of a fingernail, and a mountain buffalo - a super delicacy that only comes out of the ground after the first rain after the beginning of autumn......

All of these things seem to have disappeared from 2002 to 2006. Before 2002, Wang Shaodong felt that his hometown, Taohualing Village, was a good place with quiet mountains and rivers and deep Taoyuan, but with the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway in 2002, the West Mountain of Taohualing Village was split into two, and with the use of various high-efficiency pesticides, herbicides, etc., the environment around Taohualing gradually became different from before, and many species were quietly disappearing.

If Wang Shaodong has the ability to stop these tragedies, he will stop them, and if he can't stop them, then he can only enjoy them before these lovely species disappear.
