Chapter 20: The Wild Vegetable Girl

At dawn the next day, Wang Baoshan got up, picked up a woodcutter, and prepared to chop wood.

This forest is very large, and there are no dry dead trees and dead trees, so he cut three loads of firewood in one morning, and when he had lunch, he sent it to the room and came back with some millet and greens.

This is the rule set by Wu Lao, those who cut wood take firewood in exchange for food, and those who grow vegetables take vegetables in exchange. Do as much as you do, eat as much as you want, eat more, eat better, do more. In this way, no one dares to be lazy, and no one complains.

This room, which is in charge of the entire Heifeng Village's food, is also a great responsibility, so Wu Lao has to inspect everywhere every day, and it is a little difficult to see him in ordinary times.

Wang Baoshan searched the whole house, and finally found it, and borrowed some tools from him, so that he could go back and repair the grass shed. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day there will be a strong wind and it will be bad to lift the straw shed.

Wu Lao saw that he was so diligent on the first day, and the firewood he cut was not bad, so he asked him to get some tools, and told him that if he needed anything in the future, he could just find the head of the cooking room directly, because that was his apprentice.

After Wang Baoshan asked some more questions about what he should pay attention to in his daily life, he thanked Wu Lao, took tools and food, and returned to his grass shed.

He did not rush to repair the hut, but first went to the creek to prepare for a bath. The days of running and working have made him filthy, and he has not taken a bath for a long time, and everyone is rancid. I have to wash it up today, thinking about it, Wang Baoshan came to the stream, he stripped naked, walked to the half-waist-high stream, found a stone, sat on it, made a splash, and washed his body.

When he was washing and washing, he was a little sleepy, and Wang Baoshan lay down in the stream, resting on a protruding stone, and squinted his eyes.

The creek was quite wide, about five or six paces wide, and the water level was waist-deep enough to cover the calf-base in shallow places.

Under the clear water and blue sky, the breeze blew slowly, lifted the weeping willow branches, crossed the water, and stirred up ripples. The stream was babbling and slowly flowing into the distance, and the sunlight shone through the trees on both sides, reflecting the water as crystal clear.

In the stream, a few small fish swim by, free and leisurely at the bottom of the stream, in the gap of the pebbles, among the dark green aquatic plants and moss, chasing and frolicking, swimming around with the current, this situation is very pleasant.

Wang Baoshan lay down, letting the stream wash his body, which made him feel very comfortable. I thought that I hadn't taken a shower for a long time, and my body smelled, so I had to wash it this time.

At this time, a few small slender fish, or the smell of sweat on his body, swam towards him. As they gently scratched his body, there was a burst of itching sensation that made him almost scream. But looking at their comfortable beauty, Wang Baoshan couldn't bear to disturb them, so he had to lie motionless, letting these fish, on his body, peck at dead skin and dirt.

With the service of these fish, Wang Baoshan felt physically and mentally comfortable, and had a feeling of pleasure, which made him a little drowsy, and he actually lay in the stream like this and fell asleep.

"Nine Winds..."

I don't know how long it took, but a soft call in the dream made him open his eyes, and there was still a light in his eyes from afar.

"Smack..."

At this moment, a small pebble smashed on his cheek, which completely blurred his mind and woke him up.

Wang Baoshan shook his head and looked at the other side of the creek with some blankness. It's okay not to look at it, but he was so shocked that he immediately sat up.

I saw a man in tattered clothes and unkempt on the opposite side, who was not a ghost or a ghost, sitting on a big rock and throwing stones at him.

The man threw it back and said, "Stoned you... Look at you are not ashamed, take a naked bath in broad daylight..."

When Wang Baoshan heard this voice, he thought to himself how this was like a girl's voice, and he had some doubts in his heart. But when I looked at myself, he was naked, and he was all looked at. This was the first time that Wang Baoshan was naked in front of others since he grew up so much, and his heart was suddenly ashamed, and his face was flushed. Hurriedly covered the bottom, got up from the water in a panic, and went to the shore to get dressed.

"Ahh

By the time he got dressed, the man had already waded in.

"Who are you, I'm embarrassed just now, I thought no one would come here..."Wang Baoshan's face turned red, and he said in a panic.

"My name is Wild Herb, don't you know?" the man glared at him.

"Wild... Wild vegetable girl, I'm really sorry just now..."When Wang Baoshan heard her say that she was called a wild vegetable, he was stunned for a moment, thinking why this name is so strange.

In fact, this wild vegetable girl is not only strange in name, but also strange in people. For many years, I didn't take a shower, didn't talk, and didn't do business, and wandered around all day long. He also likes to steal chickens and touch dogs, and when he is caught, he will play tricks. If you can't beat it, you'll be like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately. And she is extremely vindictive, so everyone who works in the gang will deliberately avoid her.

Wang Baoshan is a newcomer, and he doesn't know this, otherwise, he wouldn't not recognize her as a little witch.

"Hmph, how do you know I'm a girl?

"I, I don't know! I don't..." Wang Baoshan was more and more flustered by her glare, and couldn't answer for a while.

"You're new here, aren't you?" Wild Vegetable looked at him like this, a little funny.

"It's... I just came here yesterday. ”

"Chopping wood or growing vegetables?"

"Chopping wood..."

"Cut, you don't know how to call wood, do you?" Wild Vegetable looked at himself and asked, and he replied, feeling really boring.

"No, my name is Wang Baoshan. ”

"Okay! You've just been a hooligan in broad daylight, so I'm not going to spread it around. ”

"Thank you Wild Vegetable Girl. Wang Baoshan was a little speechless, he was used to living in the mountains, and he didn't have any psychological burden on this, just someone else happened to bump into him, and he was ashamed.

"Okay, but you have to invite me to eat, otherwise maybe..."

"Haven't you eaten yet? I was just going to cook. When Wang Baoshan heard her say that she wanted to eat, he quickly agreed.

In this way, Wang Baoshan took the wild vegetables back to his grass shed, let her sit aside and wait, picked up the iron pot and fetched a pot of water back, lit the firewood and began to boil the water, poured a little millet with a clay pot, took some green vegetables, and went to the stream to wash it together.

When he returned, he continued to add firewood to make the fire burn stronger.

Wild vegetables sat quietly on the sidelines, watching him go about his work without saying a word, and in the smoke and fire, his face was smoked with ash stains from firewood. It was rare that he didn't bother him, and kept quietly watching him cook on the fire.

When the fire was hot, Wang Baoshan poured the washed millet into the pot and stirred it with a rice spoon. Just stir while burning the fire. When it was almost cooked, he put the greens in it, and put some wild vegetables, which he had just picked when he saw some wild vegetables by the stream when he had just gone to wash rice.

With his stirring, bursts of rice and wild vegetables diffused, making the wild vegetable girl on the side drool.

After a while, a pot of millet porridge was cooked. While waiting for it to cool down, Wang Baoshan also put a little salt into it, which was exchanged for chopping wood today, and it was a rare thing.

"Come, eat!" Wang Baoshan blew a pottery bowl of millet vegetable porridge and handed it to the wild vegetables.

The wild vegetable did not speak, but took it and ate it. I didn't chew it, I drank it three or two times, and drank it directly.

After drinking, he handed the pottery bowl to Wang Baoshan and asked him to hold another bowl.

"Don't worry, be careful of the burning, there's a lot more in this pot. Wang Baoshan's own bowl, just took a bite, and saw that she had finished drinking. I had to put down the bowl and add it to her.

At first, he only thought that this wild vegetable was hungry, and he was a little anxious to eat. But later, when the wild vegetables were drunk and swallowed, and after eating seven or eight bowls, I still had the posture that I wanted. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, thinking how long he hadn't eaten, how he had been so hungry, and he looked like he couldn't feed at all.

"Uhhh ”

Her words made Wang Baoshan smile bitterly. He looked at the clean iron pot, then looked at the wild vegetables, and asked her, "How long have you not eaten, and you have eaten all my pot of porridge alone." ”

"It's been three days. ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, his heart ached. He is also a person who has suffered a lot and knows what it feels like to be hungry. A person who has nothing to eat for three days can only understand the feeling that only those who have experienced it.

"The porridge you made is quite delicious. Wild vegetables said, still looking at Wang Baoshan's bowl of millet porridge that he had never had time to eat.

"Let's eat!" Wang Baoshan saw that she wanted to eat, so he handed it to her. Then he asked her, "Are you alone?"

"Hmm. ”

"What about your family?" After asking this sentence, Wang Baoshan regretted it a little, everyone said that there is one person, how can there be any family.

"I have no family, I am an orphan. After eating the wild vegetables, she said indifferently, as if it was not herself, but someone else.

"I'm considered too!" Wang Baoshan said softly.

After cooking a big pot of porridge before and after, he ate a bite by himself, Wang Baoshan was also speechless for a while, and he didn't have time to cook again, he still had to repair the grass shed. I had to go to clean the pots and pans again, and poured a stomach of water, so as to deceive the empty stomach.

Just as he was taking the tools and repairing the straw shed, the wild herb suddenly left, just as she had done when she came suddenly. made him shake his head for a while, thinking that this girl is really weird.

With tools, it is much more convenient, although it is not good to repair for a while, but if you repair a little every day, it will always be time to repair, anyway, in addition to chopping wood, Wang Baoshan has nothing else to do now.

When the sun went down, he put down his work, fetched water and made a fire, and planned to cook and eat. But as soon as the fire was lit and the water was boiled, the wild vegetable girl came and brought some wild vegetables.

"Coming?" Wang Baoshan saw that she was coming again, thinking that she might not have a place to eat.

"Hmm. ”

"Then wait a minute!"

"Okay. ”

Just said a few words, and the two of them had nothing to say.

One is busy around the earthen stove, and the other is quietly watching him busy, under the sunset, in the woods, next to the thatched hut, in the smoke curling, there is movement, like a quiet painting.

Moreover, this picture seems so harmonious and beautiful.

"Eat! I'll cook more this time. Wang Baoshan still helped her blow the millet and wild vegetable porridge that was a little hot, and handed it over with a smile.

The wild vegetable didn't speak, but took it and ate it, and ate it in a big gulp, and handed over the empty bowl again, and wanted to eat it.

After her performance at noon, Wang Baoshan also knew her amount of food, so he relied on her.

In this way, you came and went, and after eating eight or nine bowls, the wild vegetables finally stopped, touched their mouths, and left with a full burp, without saying a word.

Wang Baoshan looked at her like this, shook his head, and didn't say much. After eating and drinking the leftover soup, I went to wash the pots and bowls.

In the next few days, he chopped firewood in the morning to exchange for food, and repaired the straw shed in the afternoon, and lived a fulfilling life. Of course, every time you make a fire and cook, wild vegetables are a must. For this girl who comes to eat overlord meals every day, Wang Baoshan acquiesces, and doesn't say much, just give it if you want to eat, as long as you have it.

In order to exchange for more food, he got up before dawn every day, chopped two more loads of firewood, and could exchange more millet. made the boss of the house, Wu Lao, very optimistic about him, every time he met him, he would talk more, and ask for warmth.

During this time, he also figured out the details of wild vegetables through others. made him smile bitterly for a long time, he didn't dare to tell others that he had been feeding her all these days. Otherwise, it's strange not to be laughed to death by others.
