Chapter 114
Seeing that it was still early, the black girl wanted to go around. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You walk in the valley, and there are wild beasts outside, and you can't be sure when they will come out." Mother admonished.
The black girl answered, and walked up the mountainside.
The surrounding mountains are quite steep, with a slope of about 70 degrees from the ground. It is difficult for the black girl to climb, and many places have to climb around from other places.
"Black girl?" Someone called her down there.
Looking back, it was a teenager I didn't know.
"I'm Song Changqing, and my father asked me to take care of you." The visitor grinned, revealing a mouthful of large white teeth.
Song Changqing's father is estimated to be the temporary steward just now, Heiya nodded. "Brother Changqing, can you climb to the top of the mountain from here?"
The young man smiled even brighter, "Yes, I've been there, but it's not easy to walk." If you want to go, I'll take you. “
The black girl followed him and climbed up for a while, and when she looked down, she felt a little frightened.
I don't think when I climb, I feel very steep when I look down, the house is as big as a car, and the small lake looks blue and blue from above, reflecting the white clouds, which is particularly beautiful.
"This circle of mountains is not very high, do you see that mountain?" Song Changqing pointed to the nearest peak. "It's like winter, freezing to death."
"You've been there?" The black girl asked in surprise.
"I climbed up a few days ago, and it took me three days to reach the top, and when I came back, my father didn't beat me to death." Song Changqing grinned and said, he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was curious about everything, but at this moment, he frowned and rubbed his buttocks, it seemed that he was really beaten.
The black girl covered her mouth and smiled, "What's on the top of the mountain." ”
"It's all grass and something, and there are those little white flowers, which smell fragrant. The top of the hill was covered with snow, and it was snowing before winter, and I didn't know what it was to see it at first. "A boy who grew up near a river has never seen such a high mountain.
"That's because the peaks are so high and the temperature on them is so low that the snow doesn't melt all year round." The black girl said with a smile.
"You know so much about the black girl, if you had come to tell me that it was snow earlier, I wouldn't have gone up, and I would have been beaten less." The boy is still happy.
The black girl rested enough, and continued to climb up, she just wanted to stand on it and take a look, this large area was now their family's territory.
With Song Changqing leading the way, he walked much faster, but it basically took more than two hours to reach the top of the mountain.
They climbed up the lowest peak, about less than two acres of slope, although there was no snow and the temperature was very low, the black girl shivered, and rubbed her hand on her arm.
On the top of the mountain, as Song Changqing said, it was full of the white wild chrysanthemums that came all the way, and the fragrance seemed to have a chilling meaning in the cold wind.
Heiya picked some of them, and while Song Changqing was not paying attention, she quietly decomposed and absorbed them.
Walking out against the cold, the scenery outside the valley can be seen at a glance, and the large forest sea connects the mountain peaks, which look different colors because of the different tree species. Looking down from the top of the mountain, it looks like clusters of blooming flowers.
The black girl looked greedily over and over again, and suddenly stared at a golden forest sea in the distance.
I looked at it carefully, and I wanted to stand on tiptoe, but because it was too far away, I was still not sure if it was the kind of tree I thought.
She looked a little like a maple tree, the kind of maple tree that in late autumn when the leaves turned not red, but golden, and the sap collected could be used to make maple syrup.
With this discovery, the black girl carefully looked at all the woods, but in the end she still didn't see the reason.
There weren't many types of trees she knew, and it was too far away, so she had to go to the forest when she had the chance. If that is really a maple tree that can boil sugar, these villagers can live well even if they don't farm.
The top of the mountain was too cold, and when I first climbed up, I was tired and hot and I didn't feel particularly obvious, but now when the cold wind blows and the sweat disappears, I can't stand the cold.
"Let's go down, freeze to death." The black girl jumped on her feet.
It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, such a steep mountain, it is easy to roll down if you don't step on it well, the black girl went down tremblingly, and finally returned home before dark.
"Did the black girl go up to the top of the mountain? I heard it was cold up there. Xu brought two bowls of hot soup and gave her and Song Changqing a bowl, "Drink some hot warmth." "The people in the mountains are rough for their children, even if they are girls, they will not bow too much, after all, they will have to collect firewood and plough the land when they get married, and they will complain when they are too delicate.
Although she was sweating again after climbing down the mountain, but in the end she was cold, Heiya took the hot soup and drank it in small sips, feeling hot in her stomach.
Song Changqing was not polite, drank the hot soup and left. All the food in their family is now given by the black girl's family, and this bowl is not missing, just send more game in the future.
The pot in the stove room was bubbling with aroma, and after climbing the mountain all afternoon, a bowl of hot soup couldn't fill her stomach at all, and the black girl smelled the fragrance of stewed meat, and her saliva was about to flow down.
In the evening, the meal was braised pheasant and crispy rabbit meat with two ingredients, and in addition to that, there was a bowl of hot noodle soup.
The hare meat is very firewood, not good at all, Xu's meat is scattered and flooded in advance, wrapped in egg whites and flour and fried over low heat, sufficient fat makes the rabbit meat exude a rich fragrance.
Four dishes for four people, and finally ate them all, of course, Dad Liu and Uncle ate more than half.
"Tomorrow, we will organize people to dig the ditch by hand, and it will be much more convenient to water the land in the valley in the future." After the last mouthful of noodle soup, the uncle wiped his mouth and put down the bowl.
"Well, tell them that they will use the water flowing out of the canal to wash their clothes and everything in the future, so don't waste such a clean lake." Daddy Liu nodded. "After digging, I will take people to the town again, and buy another 3,000 catties of grain back, don't buy it in one place, it's better to go to the village to collect it directly."
"Why do you still buy food, the 800 catties I bought last time are enough for everyone to eat for two months." Xu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, but he also stopped at this moment.
"Hide more and be prepared." Dad Liu didn't say much, "By the way, keep next year's seeds, and buy some vegetable seeds." ”
My uncle agreed, thinking about how things would be arranged tomorrow, the land here is fertile, and the old forest outside is full of bird droppings and rotten leaves, and digging it back and ripening it is the best fertilizer, as long as you are diligent, it will definitely be better than living outside.
"Dad, I saw a golden maple forest outside on the mountain, do you know where it is?"
"Out of the valley and to the east, it will take about half an hour to arrive, but there are fierce beasts in the old woods, what are you doing here?" Father Liu knew that his daughter was definitely not asking casually.
"I've heard people say that sugar may come out of the maple trees when the leaves turn yellow in autumn, but I don't know if it's true or not."
The other three had already seen too many people to hear about the black girl, and they didn't bother to ask her who she was listening to, anyway, what she heard was true. Although the fact that sugar can flow in the tree sounds rather unbelievable, it has a certain credibility when it comes out of the black girl's mouth. (To be continued.) )
