Tang Qing'er fell asleep with a nervous mood, and when she got up in the morning, both eyes were swollen, and when her mother saw her, she was scolded again, so she lowered her head stupidly, and Li couldn't bear to talk about her when she looked at her like this.

After breakfast, Tang Qing'er couldn't wait to pick up the small cloth bag prepared last night, which contained some cakes and water and followed her father into the mountain, the wood and stone also made a noise to follow, and then was slanted by the Li family and stopped squeaking, other people adhered to the purpose: "Strict father and mother," Tang Lao everyone was just the opposite: "Loving father and strict mother," even Tang Tiezhu would discuss anything with the Li family, and finally the Li family would make a decision.

Tang Qing'er walked such a rugged mountain road for the first time, and looked up at the towering trees, each tree was as thick as the waist circumference of two people, it is conceivable that each tree has almost gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, and his father took her to turn left and right to find wild mountain dates.

The weeds in the mountains grew luxuriantly, and her father used a sickle to pick up the weeds when he walked in front of him to prevent snakes from inside.

Tang Tiezhu saw that his daughter's tired forehead was sweating, and walked up to her and said, "There is a poisonous fruit tree in front, and we are resting after passing." ”

Tang Qing'er nodded, and continued to follow her father slowly, what is the green poisonous fruit, she has never heard of it, when she stayed in the field of the poisonous fruit, she saw the persimmons full of trees, this is what her father said "poisonous fruit", she was surprised before, she has been in this dynasty for eight years, she has never seen people here eat persimmons, and she said strangely at that time: Isn't there even persimmons in this dynasty? I didn't expect to see the persimmon tree today, this is a bumper harvest, and I will definitely pick some and go home for my mother and younger siblings to eat.

Tang Qing'er stopped her father, who was still hurrying forward, and hurriedly said, "Dad, that's not a poisonous fruit, this thing can be eaten, let's pick some and eat it at home," How many persimmon trees are there? It really responds to that sentence: walnuts in July, pears in August, persimmons in September rush to the market, this persimmon is full of branches, and it is said that hunters often haunt the mountains, they should be able to see, why no one eats it?

Tang Tiezhu only paid attention to the weeds in front of him, and when he took him to look at the poisonous fruit tree along his daughter's hand, he hurriedly ran over and took her hand and said, "This thing can't be eaten, it's poisonous?" ”

"Toxic? Are you sure? Father? "Tang Qing'er hasn't eaten it in modern times, how can it be poisonous? By the way, she had heard others say before: "Before the green persimmon turns yellow, there are some toxins in the flesh that cannot be eaten, which will cause paralysis of the respiratory nervous system," but it is not enough to say that it can eat the dead.

"Really, dad can still lie to you, it was when dad was young, I heard the old people in the village say that someone ate this thing, and then they couldn't speak, and even the doctor didn't look good, and he couldn't say why" Tang Tiezhu looked at his daughter's expression of disbelief, and quickly told the story he heard when he was a child.

"Dad, you can't eat more of this thing when it's cyan, and eating too much is not good for people's health, huh? It's what you said is poisonous, but if it turns from green to yellow and mature, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and orange juice can flow out when touched, and the soft seeds inside are crunchy and sweet when chewed," Tang Qing'er couldn't help but recall the taste of eating persimmons before, and wanted to pick one from the tree and eat it in her mouth now.

Tang Tiezhu didn't believe that the yellow thing hanging on the tree could be so delicious, and he didn't understand why Qing'er called it a persimmon, as if he had eaten it before, so he couldn't help asking, "Has Qing'er eaten it before?" ”

When Tang Qing'er heard her father's words, the taste of memories was interrupted, and her eyes couldn't help but turn, how could this lie come true, and she stumbled and said, "That's what that grandfather told me last time, he taught me a lot of things?" ”

"Really! You're so young, you can remember so many things he said? Tang Tiezhu didn't suspect that the girl was a demon, but doubted whether the girl was a natural prodigy, otherwise she could remember what the old man said so much.

"Dad, in fact, when I used to sneak out to play, I often met that old man, he always told me things I didn't understand and didn't know, and taught me to read? You must not tell my mother, if you tell her, she should complain that I am hiding from her, I am saying that I don't know many words, don't you want your younger brothers to go to school, and when they come back from school, I can also learn with them, okay? "Tang Qinger talks nonsense and nonsense every day, and what she says to her mother and her father is always to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, which can appease one by one.

"Really! Qing'er, can you still read and write? Why didn't you tell your father and mother about such a big thing? The old man is so kind to you, we should take some things to visit him, do you know where the old man's family lives? Tang Tiezhu said excitedly, he didn't know a single big word in his life, he thought that letting his two sons read and write, his own wish, who knew that his daughter was literate earlier than his son, why didn't he be happy and excited.

"Dad, that old man taught me for a long time and left, maybe it's a relative in our village, who seems to be very knowledgeable, saying that people don't let me tell others everywhere, I have to keep my promises, so I didn't even hide it from my father and mother, if I didn't see the thing described by the old man hanging on the tree today, I wouldn't tell you if I was killed? Dad, you also have to keep a secret and don't tell your mother, okay? ”

Tang Qing'er looked at her father's eyes, knowing that he believed what she said, and asked to be even more rude, no matter what amazing things she said or did in the future, her father would carry her, thinking of this, she couldn't help lowering her head, hooking the corners of her mouth, and smiling like a little fox.

Tang Tiezhu patted his chest and said, "Well, my father doesn't even say it to your mother, this is the secret of our grandfather." "The old man told his daughter not to reveal his information, there must be a reason that cannot be said.

Tang Tiezhu is an honest and deceitful honest person, who was fooled by her daughter, and finally Tang Qinger said: "Dad, let's pick a few and taste them, see how it tastes?" ”

Tang Tiezhu didn't have any worries at this time, according to what her daughter said, she picked two yellow fruits, and her daughter said that this thing is called persimmon, so it is this name, after all, it was said from the mouth of a learned old man, after the persimmon came to his hand, he felt a little soft, and when he handed one of the persimmons to his daughter, he saw that the girl first pinched the root of the persimmon with her left finger, and then gently tore the skin of the persimmon with her right finger, revealing the persimmon flesh one by one, and then handed it to the mouth to "suck" and swallowed it in one bite. After a while, he saw his daughter eat one with a sweet mouth, and seeing that her was eating so deliciously, he swallowed foam unconsciously, but he didn't dare to eat it.
