Chapter 32: The White Jade Fruit in the Golden Armor
Passing through a piece of bamboo, the front suddenly opens up, it is a small basin in the valley, surrounded by bamboo trees, and the middle is misty with water vapor, and it is indeed a natural hot spring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The warm vapor mist continues to rise, hanging on the surrounding trees and bamboo, and then condenses into a white expanse, taking advantage of the evergreen pine and bamboo forest, like a fairyland.
"Wow!" Xiao Qi couldn't help but marvel.
Even the well-informed Marquis Ma Fenghou nodded at the monkey's head again and again: this natural hot spring is even better than those he has been to, because it is better than nature, and there is no trace of artificial carving.
The so-called natural carving, clear water out of hibiscus, probably so. It's just that there is no hibiscus left, and there are red monkey faces on the water.
The monkeys will enjoy soaking in the hot springs in winter, and one by two will soak their bodies in the warm water, revealing only a small brain. Those who squint comfortably, yawn comfortably, and eat from their cheek pouches. Soak in the hot springs and eat fruits, don't you have too much comfort in your small days?
It's worth it! Ma Fenghou threw off his clothes and pants, slid down the edge of the pool, and beckoned to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was a little hesitant at first, as if he was shy about taking off his clothes, but seeing that he was surrounded by friends who were too familiar to be more familiar, he didn't have any scruples.
The place where I just entered the water is still a little cold, probably on the edge of the hot spring, but after walking more than a dozen steps, the water temperature is already very suitable, and every sweat pore on the body is smoked by the heat, and there is a feeling of fluttering, what is more comfortable than soaking in the hot spring in winter?
The water area where the monkeys are located only occupies a corner of the northwest of the hot spring, and the entire body of water is estimated to be dozens of acres. Moreover, the water is very clear, and the bottom is dominated by sand and gravel, and there is no sign of turbidity even if the monkeys roam. On the shore, there is a circle of stones, with interlaced canine teeth, and there are few traces at a glance.
However, there are also some relatively flat stones, and several small monkeys have no growth, and they all climb on the stones to play. The climate in the valley is humid and does not feel cold.
Good place, come to bubble every other day in the future! Ma Fenghou also wanted to sleep comfortably, it was rare for the old scar to find such a good place, sure enough, there was an old man in the family, if there was a treasure, look back and enjoy it two big apples-
Chen Ergou was lying in the water very unvividly, his big smooth ass was faintly visible, he was holding a stone on his arm, and he was so comfortable that he hummed in his mouth: "Master Monkey, you said that the Queen Mother's Yao Chi, at most, that's it-"
I haven't participated in the Pan Tao Club to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, how do I know - Ma Fenghou was too lazy to take care of this goods, and he also hugged a stone on the shore, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
After transforming into a monkey, his alertness has increased a lot, and there are not many times like today, when the body and mind are completely relaxed, and this hot spring seems to have a magical power that can make people let go of all the fetters in their hearts and fully integrate their minds into nature.
This spring can be described as "forgetting worries". Ma Fenghou woke up refreshed, so he even thought of the name of the hot spring.
The monkeys are also soaked, and now they are lying on the stones to dry their hair, their little paws tossing through each other's hair, catching lice and helping to dry them sooner.
Xiao Qi had already dressed up, holding a bamboo branch to pump water and play, making a crisp sound, splashing one by one, and teaching the second dog master and nephew in his mouth: "Big lazy worm, get up and go home-"
Seeing that Chen Ergou continued to pretend to be a dead dog, a pinch of hair was also held with a thin bamboo branch, and he snapped it. The little monkey didn't take it lightly, he really pumped it on his body, and a red mark appeared on Chen Ergou's buttocks.
He jumped up with a snort, picked up the spring water, and drenched a handful of hair into a soup monkey. This can irritate the monkey group, the big monkey, the old monkey, the male monkey, the female monkey all besieged Chen Ergou, and the small paws quickly stirred up the water and started a water battle.
It's the nature of monkeys to play, so Ma Fenghou didn't stop it, but stared at Chen Ergou with big eyes and was bullied by a group of monkeys. Suddenly, a jet of water sprayed onto his face, and after wiping a monkey's face, he found that Xiao Qi was looking over with a smile, and a pair of small hands were still preparing to tease the water.
So, Ma Fenghou also joined the battle group. In the silent valley, the noise and laughter echoed for a long time.
The former Marquis Ma Fenghou thought that spending all day drinking and soaking up beautiful girls was the greatest enjoyment in life; But now, he can have a water fight with a group of monkeys, and his body and mind are gradually returning to nature......
The hero couldn't stand the group of monkeys, Chen Ergou could only run to the shore in embarrassment, he was afraid of this group of monkeys, and several small monkeys who didn't know the depth were drawn out of the red road.
After getting dressed, Chen Ergou noticed the bamboo forest not far ahead, and made a fuss again: "It's such a big bamboo sea, I don't know if there are winter bamboo shoots below?" ”
There are also some bamboo bushes in other parts of the mountain, but they are not large-scale, and the species is not this tall and large bamboo. Perhaps it is because the hot springs are relatively warm and humid, so it is very rare for the bamboo forest to become a sea.
Sure enough, it's a foodie, but it seems that it's not bad to be able to dig up winter bamboo shoots - Ma Fenghou is also quite excited, the climate in the valley is unique, and the winter bamboo shoots bred must be better.
So he left the monkeys to dry his hair here, only brought Xiao Qi and Akajiri, and followed Chen Ergou into the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is also deep and old, and there are thick dead branches and leaves under your feet, which are soft when you step on it. And the fragrance of bamboo, after penetrating into the nostrils, makes people feel even more refreshed.
Because there is no bamboo here, Chen Ergou has no experience in digging winter bamboo shoots, but he is holding a bamboo pole in his hand. Because winter bamboo shoots are hidden beneath the surface, it is not easy to find them.
Ma Fenghou gave it even more freely, he didn't eat less winter bamboo shoots, but digging winter bamboo shoots was the first time that the eldest girl went to the sedan chair.
In fact, digging winter bamboo shoots is not only a hard work, but also a technical content. If you are a layman, you may not be able to cover one after planing for half a day; And if you are an expert, you basically have one planing, and eight or nine are not far from ten.
"Could it be that we are too cold and have no winter bamboo shoots?" Chen Ergou also muttered in confusion, and the bamboo pole in his hand was still poked one after another.
With a bang, the dead leaves on the ground flipped violently, and a black shadow jumped up violently, making Chen Ergou jump in fright: "What's the matter?" ”
A meter in front of his feet, there was a guy more than a foot long, round and fat like a ball of meat, with brown-gray fur shiny and shiny on his body, small eyes like beans, and he was opening his mouth to make a whirring sound. Good fellow, the two front teeth on the upper lip were wide and large, white and shiny, as if they had two small shields erected. Although it tries its best to put on a fierce look, its appearance is there, giving people the feeling that it is still stupid and cute.
"What a big mouse!" Chen Ergou stretched out the bamboo pole and poked it, only to see that the little guy sneered twice with anger in his mouth, bit the bamboo pole, clicked, and the position of the head of the bamboo pole was torn apart.
"It turned out to be a mountain mouse, shouldn't it be lying in a hole to hibernate this month?" Chen Ergou was so shocked that he took a few steps back and stomped his foot a few times: What a powerful plate tooth, if you bite on your foot and neck, you can still pay it back?
This is a bamboo rat, right? Ma Fenghou recognized the chubby little guy in front of him, because he had eaten wild bamboo rats a few times. When I was young, I ate, drank and had fun all day long, and I really ate a lot of strange things. As for the question of whether the bamboo rat hibernates, he doesn't know, maybe the climate in the valley is warm and humid, and the bamboo rats don't worry about eating and drinking, who hibernates?
But at this moment, seeing this fat bamboo rat, he can't afford to eat meat, and even he can't understand this kind of change. Maybe he became a monkey, and the whole position was on the side of wild animals, and the concept naturally changed depending on the team. It's the same root, so why be in a hurry.
So looking at the blind bamboo rat in front of him, he thought it was quite interesting: if there was a chubby bamboo rat as a companion, Xiao Qi should be very happy, right?
Ma Fenghou knew Xiao Qi too well, and at this moment, the little girl's big eyes were wide, staring at the bamboo rat, and she was reluctant to move away.
It's a pity that after a while, the bamboo rat swooped into the bamboo forest and fled. The bamboo forest is its world, and it is too difficult to catch it.
Xiao Qi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and his little face twitched together. Ma Fenghou hurriedly went over and pulled her little hand to show comfort. This bamboo rat looks to be an adult, and it is wild and untamable. Xiao Qi wants to raise bamboo rats, and in the future, he will find an opportunity to get two cubs of bamboo rats, and those who have been raised since childhood will be tamed, and they are more emotional.
Anyway, this mountain has been regarded as Ma Fenghou's own, and the bamboo rat can't run away if he lives here, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Xiao Qi is not a hypocritical and ignorant little girl, she quickly got rid of her disappointment, pointed to a small pit in front of her and shouted: "Bamboo shoots, there are bamboo shoots cut out there!" ”
In the place where the bamboo rat dug up just now, the yellow and clear winter bamboo shoots were revealed, as if they were covered with pieces of golden armor, which looked so pleasing to the eye.
A group of people searched for a long time but didn't find winter bamboo shoots, and finally had to occupy the results of the discovery of bamboo rats, it seems that the ground snake is still powerful.
Chen Ergou couldn't help but say, chop off the winter bamboo shoots with a firewood knife, weigh them with his hands, heavy, this one is enough to eat.
So when he saw it, he accepted it and gathered the monkeys to embark on the return journey. Probably because of the hot springs, the monkeys were all in good spirits, and with Chen Ergou's "one-two-one" password, they lined up in a crooked line, shaking their arms unevenly, and among the ten, there were eight of them who walked smoothly.
Back in Qingyunguan, I saw the huge body of Big Tooth wandering outside, and when I saw the monkeys, I snorted happily. It is estimated that this rammer has been waiting for a long time: why don't you ride me today?
When the monkey rides a pig, he has to give some food, and the big teeth have formed a conditioned reflex.
Dinner is naturally to fry winter bamboo shoots, after peeling off the golden skin, the inside is as white as jade, gold is clothing, white jade is meat, it is used to describe winter bamboo shoots is very appropriate.
Although he has no experience in processing winter bamboo shoots, Chen Ergou still blanched the winter bamboo shoots in accordance with the method of processing most of the mountain delicacies, and then stir-fried them with bacon. In addition to the fact that the color is not very good, the aroma and taste are very attractive.
Sandwiched a piece of winter bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth, Ma Fenghou also ordered a little brain melon: a bite of bamboo shoots, eating the taste of the bamboo forest, is more delicious than the winter bamboo shoots he has eaten before, perhaps due to the unique climatic conditions on the hot spring valley. What if, on this basis, Ma Fenghou sprinkled the bamboo forest appropriately?
There's a lot to be done!
Early the next morning, before Ma Fenghou got up to practice boxing, he heard a pop outside the house, followed by a noise of the monkeys, pushing the door and looking, Ma Fenghou couldn't help but let out a happy squeak: Okay, you have a flat hair and have today-
