Chapter 16: Ascending the Mountain (2)
Qin Mo picked some of the leaves at the foot of the mountain, but after thinking about it, after all, the purpose of today is mainly to go up the mountain to see, whether he can find anything to eat, or something that can be sold for money, this aloe vera is of course, but it is too heavy for people to carry up the mountain like this, they can be kept down the mountain and picked again, anyway, these people will not want this.
The mountain that has just rained, the mountain is like a wash of water, the pines and cypresses are verdant, and the clouds and mist are shrouded in the middle of the mountain.
Three barefoot children, carrying small baskets, walked all the way to the mountainside...
At the foot of the mountain, except for the trees, what could be eaten has been dug up and searched cleanly.
There are leaves in the middle of the mountain, and it has just rained in this Chishui village, and the leaves are piled up on both sides, and mushrooms are easy to grow at the feet of the trees.
Halfway up the mountain, along the road that people often walk, Qin Mo knew that this was the road with the back water, the roadside was smooth, after the rain, large and small mushrooms did grow on the ground on both sides, but a large part of them could not be eaten, and there was nothing to eat on this road, the road surface was smooth and smooth, and the food was roughly picked, Qin Mo felt that this road was impassable.
Following the path of ordinary people, Qin Mo was also anxious, afraid that he would not find something to eat.
So I chose another trail with more dense trees.
But this road is not easy to walk, I am afraid of snakes, and there are wolves!
Seeing Qin Mo's senseless appearance, Jinqing took the torch in Xiangxiang's hand and reminded Qin Mo in time.
And Qin Mo only turned a deaf ear, she had a bottom in her heart, if she wanted to find something good, she naturally couldn't go to the place where the person walked to find it.
I can't bear the help of the child, and I won't get anything if I don't pay.
Qin Mo originally planned to part ways with Jinqing, but in fact, she was afraid of affecting Jinqing, but in the end, Jinqing came over by herself.
When he was at his grandmother's house in the countryside, every time he followed his uncle up the mountain to hunt and catch pheasants and hares, Qin Mo already had considerable experience in the woods.
That kind of tree generally produces something, for example, there are not many mushrooms in the place of pines and cypresses, but there are many mushrooms in the shrubs, and it is easy to pick Ganoderma lucidum in the thick layer of dead branches and leaves, and if you are lucky, you can also dig ginseng, these are precious medicinal materials, it happens that she has been lucky in the past few days, it rains, as long as it rains in the forest, these things are likely to grow...
Qin Mo walked and explored the way with a branch, the three children were barefoot, and it was easy to be pierced by the branches and leaves on the ground, Qin Mo walked to a place full of dead leaves.
Sure enough, because it was raining, these leaves were soaked and rotted by the rain, and the whole place was full of mushrooms, red red mushrooms, blue-headed mushrooms and chanterelles spread on both sides, and Qin Mo also found a few nests of fluffy chicken fir on a square fluffy black soil.
Of course, there are some brightly colored toadstools, Xiangxiang and Jinqing hurriedly put down their small baskets and began to pick, the hands and feet of the two people are very neat, and the same as grabbing, mushrooms generally have to be in summer, and must be wet in the early morning or after the rain, and the rain in Chishui Village is less, so there are too few opportunities to catch up with today's good harvest.
Jinqing also put the back basket on his back, picked one by one and put it inside, and Xiangxiang, smartly put the small back basket on the ground, and picked it with both hands, as if robbing, for fear of being picked up by Jinqing.
And Qin Mo was standing on the ground thinking.
Today, Xiangxiang, you are waiting for me here, you pick it well, it is best to finish it, and I will go in and find it again!
In fact, what Qin Mo has been thinking about is not mushrooms, this kind of mountain, there must be precious medicinal materials, especially in this kind of place, there must be mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum, she also picked Ganoderma lucidum when she was a child, and she knows that Ganoderma lucidum is still in a cooler and more humid environment, and now the environment has been reached, but the humidity is not enough, according to experience, if you go inside, there must be, because this is also the first time to go up the mountain, I don't know the specific situation here, Qin Mo is not sure that there is 100% here, but I always want to see, Even if you can find a finger bigger and let the pharmacy be kind, even if you send a beggar and give two pennies, it will be a steamed bun.
Qin Mo thought about his footsteps and went inside.
As soon as Xiangxiang saw that Qin Mo had left her and was leaving, she was so anxious that she immediately didn't even pick up the mushrooms she wanted to eat on the ground, and stood there stiffly, with a hoarse cry in her voice.
Sister, where are you going?
As soon as Qin Mo turned around, seeing Xiangxiang's anxious appearance of crying, he knew that she would be wrong, and hurriedly turned around to explain
Xiangxiang, it's okay, my sister goes in and has a look, and sees if she can find something out, and she won't leave you!
Listening to Qin Mo's patient explanation, Xiangxiang stood in place and was stunned for a moment before her tears were put back.
Just now, as soon as Qin Mo turned his head, he saw Xiangxiang's small thin body, two thin legs, standing there barefoot, the already dirty black-brown linen clothes only covered under the knees, skinny, ragged appearance, his heart was sour, and tears seemed to be falling.
I don't know where it came from, Qin Mo himself was also cold, and he was wearing pants that were not as good as the crooks of his legs, afraid that his crying appearance would be noticed by Xiangxiang, so he went into the forest after throwing down a word, and didn't look back.
The more you go deeper into the forest, the thicker the dead leaves here are spread, and the trunks here are as thick as a human waist, and the branches and leaves are continuous, covering the sky and the sun, because the branches and leaves are too thick, the water vapor on the ground is not easy to evaporate, and the rain in the past two days has made the ground wet with a thick layer of dead leaves, and you can hear the sound of dripping water around you when you stand in the forest.
Qin Mo still took a relatively thick stick to explore the way, she felt that her head was moving on the branches, as soon as Qin Mo raised her head, a black snake was coiled on the vine leaf in front of her head, Qin Mo was startled fiercely, and her feet inadvertently retreated a few steps.
She was afraid of snakes, many of them were afraid, and then she picked up the rattan with the branch in her hand, and after a moment of confrontation, the snake still dragged its tail away.
Qin Mo suddenly found five thumb-thick lingzhi in a nest under the root of a tree.
A little surprise, Qin Mo knew that this was very small and not worth much, but it was still worth something. Hurriedly hid in his own clothes.
But what she didn't expect was that when she turned her head, she was at the root of a cypress tree not far behind her, three branches of the best Ganoderma lucidum with bright colors, thick branches, and umbrellas like bowls.
At that moment, Qin Mo was overjoyed, extremely excited, like a dream, he couldn't believe it, he really didn't expect to find this immortal, and when he walked up, he unconsciously felt a little weak in his legs, Qin Mo picked down the three major Ganoderma lucidum and put them in the bamboo basket, knowing in his heart that this thing could really buy something at a good price.
Subsequently, Qin Mo found out that he had really found the right place, not only the three largest plants here, but also some branches and leaves in the nests, and some trees at the foot of the trees, which were picked up, and it was a gathering place for Ganoderma lucidum.
This one can be sold for some money.
In the end, Qin Mo walked along the road again, and finally it was really in the innermost, just on the road, and he really found a ginseng plant, which was finally dug out, but it was a little small.
