Chapter 3 Entering the Mountains is Rewarding

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Haitang woke up, tiptoed into his clothes, tucked the quilt for the two children who were still asleep, and got off the kang lightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info doesn't even have any food in store at home, so I have to think of ideas and get something to eat, otherwise, sooner or later, the three sisters and brothers will have to starve to death.

According to the route in his memory, Li Haitang carried a small basket to the mountain, fortunately, his home was at the foot of the mountain, and it was very close to the mountain. This season, dig some shepherd's cabbage and go back to cook and eat, you can also pad your hunger, and save nothing in your stomach.

After digging for almost an hour, Li Haitang only dug up a small half basket of shepherd's cabbage, this wild vegetable big guy knows that it can be eaten, so the children of each family basically go up the mountain to dig shepherd's cabbage every day, which also leads to the long and good-looking shepherd's cabbage has long been dug up, Li Haitang was busy all morning, but he dug some wrinkled shepherd's cabbage. However, it doesn't affect anything, and you can eat it the same.

Carrying the basket, he walked in the direction of the small river on the edge of the village, washed the shepherd's cabbage with river water, and saved the need to dig well water when he returned home. At this time, there was just a glimmer of light, and people were rising in the village one after another, and some anxious women were shouting at their own men and children to get up. Li Haitang listened to this voice, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, in fact, this place is a little poor, but this strong local atmosphere is really comfortable!

As Li Haitang expected, there was no one on the side of the river, she first washed the dug shepherd's cabbage, and then washed the soil in the small basket with water, and then put the shepherd's cabbage again, put it on the stone by the river, and washed her face with this cold water, and when she got up to leave, she saw a splash on the edge of the stone not far from her.

Li Haitang was excited, isn't this a fish? Carefully touched it, as expected. A small cyan fish the size of an adult's palm struggled to flip, and the surrounding river was flushed with circles, the fish was somehow injured, and then it was turning on the shore, the sky is endless, this is meat.

Li Haitang rolled up his sleeves, and his hand quickly poked into the water, and when he came out, he was already pinching the cyan fish in his hand. Li Haitang's thin little face was full of smiles, although this fish is not big, but it seems to be enough to improve life, when the time comes, get more wild vegetables and throw it in, a pot of delicious fish soup will be fine.

Pulling a flexible thatch from not far from the shore and passing through the gills of the herring, Li Haitang walked home with the basket and the small fish with satisfaction.

The broken courtyard gate and the courtyard surrounded by scattered branches make people feel desolate, and these thatched houses must also be neat, otherwise, they will not freeze to death in winter?

Li Dongsheng Li Dongmei has already gotten up, the two little radish heads are sitting on the threshold of the hall, looking at the courtyard gate, seeing Li Haitang coming back, they all ran out, looking at the fish in the hands of the eldest sister, the two little guys subconsciously licked their mouths, there is a fish means that they can eat fish, they don't know how long they haven't touched the meat star, when they see the fish at this time, they can't wait to eat it immediately.

Li Haitang smiled, "Dongsheng, Dongmei, you two go wash your face and rinse your mouth, and the eldest sister will make fish soup for you to eat." ”

The two little ones nodded and ran away.

Li Haitang entered the kitchen with only one stove and one pot set up by the hall, quickly cleaned up the herring, lit a fire, added water, first boiled some egg and shepherd's cabbage soup with yesterday's leftover eggs, stewed the fish, and threw the rest of the shepherd's cabbage into it when it was almost ready. Although there are no condiments, the fragrance is still the same, and the two little radish heads have already washed their faces, and they are looking at the fish soup on the stove, and their stomachs are gurgling.

Although Li Haitang worked hard to find food every day, they had never seen this kind of meat and fishy dish, let alone a meal. Li Dongsheng felt that after the eldest sister got better, the cooking was much better, and the sensitive heart of the child made him faintly feel that the eldest sister seemed to have changed, but if he really said where it had changed, he couldn't say it, but he felt that he liked the current eldest sister more.

The three siblings gathered around the only furniture in the house, the small square table in the kitchen, and ate this delicious breakfast, not even a little soup left, although there was no staple food, only soup dishes, they were still full. Li Haitang quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet, and after the pot on the stove was cleaned, he carried two small radish heads and baskets, took a machete and set off on the mountain. After experiencing the previous incident, she didn't dare to put the two of them at home, going up the mountain is a piece of cake for the children in the village, although they are only five years old, but the two little ones are not delicate at all, follow Li Haitang's side, and walk on the mountain.

After breakfast, you have to run around for lunch, filling your stomach is the most important thing now.

There are many people in the village who have gone up the mountain one after another, and the three sisters and brothers met the villagers who were familiar with each other, and they all greeted each other politely.

"Begonia, what are you doing this early in the morning?" The grandfather of the family asked with a smile, the incident a few days ago, there was a lot of uproar in Lijia Village, they all thought that the girl Begonia was no good, she didn't think about it, she was a big fate, she stopped by herself, and now look at it, although she is still weak, but there is no big problem.

This old man who spoke, Li Haitang has a good impression in his memory, he is the eldest brother of the original owner's grandfather. The original grandfather has five elder brothers, and now they have split up, and they live their own lives on weekdays, and it is rare to have the opportunity for these six families to get together in a year. When the original owner was looking for death before, it was this grandfather who came forward to scold the eldest aunt Li, otherwise, after Li Haitang looked for death, I am afraid that his younger siblings would have been sold long ago.

"Grandpa, I'll lead Dongsheng Dongmei up the mountain to see if I can find something to eat." Li Haitang said sweetly.

Li Degui listened, a smile appeared on his face full of folds, the three children of the second brother of the sixth brother are all sensible, but the second child is not capable, and he can't protect the three children, so they have suffered a lot. The sixth brother is also a weak, he can only watch his granddaughter and grandson being bullied on weekdays, although this begonia is small, he is also ambitious, the two younger siblings are under her protection, and they have grown to five years old in a blink of an eye, if it weren't for her, these two little ones would have starved to death.

"Good boy, although there are things on the mountain that can fill your stomach, there are still a lot of beasts, but remember, don't go deeper, meet beasts or something, don't mess with them, you are still young, you can't fight." Li Degui advised, thought about it and said: "Wait for noon, I will ask your Uncle Daming to send you some budding rice stubble, and it is not a problem to eat wild vegetables on the mountain all day long." Looking at the thin appearance of the three sisters and brothers, Li Degui couldn't bear it.

Bud stubble? Li Haitang's eyes lit up, and he said seriously: "Thank you, grandpa, we will return you in the future." ”

Li Degui shook his head with a smile: "You kid, what are you doing politely to grandpa?" In the future, when your father is not at home, remember to go to your grandfather if you have something. Don't suffer yourself! Okay, grandpa won't rub shoulders with you anymore, you should hurry into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. ”

Li Haitang took the two little guys to thank Li Degui again, and then turned around and walked up the mountain, looking forward to what he would gain from entering the mountain. In the memory of the original owner Li Haitang, in addition to wild vegetables on the mountain, there are also some birds and beasts, which are also things that they can't fight at their age. But for Li Haitang now, it's different, what she recognizes, maybe things that are not recognized by people in ancient times, she can recognize it herself.

Li Dongsheng and Li Dongmei followed behind Li Haitang, their dark eyes flashed with crystal light, the eldest sister didn't take them up the mountain before, and always said that the mountain was dangerous, and now, I was so happy to be able to follow the eldest sister up the mountain together. Especially Li Dongsheng, although he is only five years old, the little guy always feels that his father is not at home, and he, as a man, should protect his sister and sister.

Li Haitang's attention is not on the two little radish heads behind her, she is vigilant, is there any wild thing, the dangerous ones should be avoided, and if they are not dangerous, see if they can get them back and improve their lives.

From time to time, Li Dongmei bent down to pluck a few wild vegetables she knew and put them in a small basket. Li Haitang muttered in his heart, sure enough, there are very few things on the periphery of this mountain, and the big ones with wild vegetables are basically gone, and occasionally there are one or two trees that are also dropped by others. Looking at the few small crumpled wild vegetables in the basket, she had to decide to take her younger siblings deeper into the depths, but would there be any danger?

'Poof' A solid impact sound came into Li Haitang's ears, and at the same time Li Dongmei's exclamation, when he turned his head, he found that Li Dongsheng was tripped by a brown rattan, Li Haitang hurriedly helped Li Dongsheng up with Li Dongmei, patted the grass on his body, and carefully checked whether he was injured by a fall, and told him: "Dongsheng, the mountain is dangerous, but you have to watch with your eyes wide open, don't get hurt." ”

Li Dongsheng touched his head embarrassedly, picked up a clay-colored oval beanie from his messy hair, glanced at it, and wanted to throw it away, if this thing is broken and sticks to the skin, not to mention sticky, it is very itchy, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, his luck is really good, it is on his head, and it is not damaged.

Li Dongsheng raised his hand and wanted to throw it far away, but was caught by Li Haitang, and said with some excitement: "Great, really good." ”

If you read it correctly, this should be a yam bean. It should be the vine that tripped over Dongsheng just now, this road is the only way to enter the mountain, the yam beans that grow on this vine have been trampled on because of the people who come and go, and when Dongsheng fell just now, the one that may survive will be on his head. Li Haitang's heart is happy to bloom, there are yam beans, which proves that this vine is the vine of yam, so isn't it buried in the ground?

Li Dongsheng stared at his eldest sister in surprise, what's wrong? I fell a little, why is the eldest sister so happy? And he also held the cow beans he was going to throw in the palm of his hand, like some treasure.

"Eldest sister......" Li Dongmei said timidly, she felt that the eldest sister was so strange now.

Li Haitang came back to his senses at this time, and smiled a little embarrassedly, probably because he reacted too much and scared the two little ones.

"Dongsheng, Dongmei, let's dig yams. With this, there is no need to starve. Li Haitang said excitedly.

Two little radish heads, you look at me, I look at yours, and finally the two looked at Li Haitang at the same time, with deep doubts in their dark eyes. They didn't know what the yam was, and they didn't know where the eldest sister wanted them to dig it out.

"Dongsheng, look carefully, the part of this vine buried in the ground is edible."

Li Dongsheng looked at it again and again, and was sure that this was a vine with cow beans, "Eldest sister, don't you know this?" If this bean is broken, if it sticks to the skin, it is sticky and itchy, and others will hide it when they see it, why do you still say that its roots can be eaten? ”

Li Haitang reflected that there is a very clear memory of this thing in the memory of the original owner, this thing cannot be eaten in the eyes of people, not only people don't eat it, but even cows that eat grass don't eat this thing.

"Dongsheng, look-" Li Haitang put the yam bean in the palm of his hand, "as long as the skin of this thing is not broken, it will not get slimy juice on the hand, so it won't itch." Let's go back and wash it, cook it in water, and we're ready to eat. ”

Rao is Li Haitang said this, Li Dongsheng's eyes were still a little puzzled, but he had already started digging up according to the place Li Haitang pointed to, and after a while, the thick and straight yam stick appeared in front of the eyes of the three people, Li Dongsheng gasped, it turned out that the rhizome of this vine looked like this! It should be because I don't know that this thing is delicious, so no one has ever dug this vine, which has caused this yam stick to grow very strong, anyway, Li Haitang has never seen such a thick yam in his previous life.

Li Haitang is still very happy about the unconditional trust of the two little guys in herself, and she doesn't plan to dig more, just such a big root, it is enough for the three of them to eat for a day. The yam was too long, Li Haitang made it into a basket that could hold it, then rubbed the soil on his hands with satisfaction, and carried the basket and prepared to go down the mountain.

The broken yam had slimy juice and even pulled out slender silks, which made Li Dongsheng's body itch unconsciously, "Sister, let's go back like this?" ”

"Oh. Also, dig up some more wild vegetables, which are not enough to eat. Didn't grandpa say to give us bud stubble, and when the time came, throw some wild vegetables into it and cook it together, but it was very delicious! ”
