Chapter 41: Up the Mountain
"Dad, what's that?"
When Dad Ding heard Miao Miao's shout, he immediately carried his own basket of mountain mushrooms on his back and ran over quickly, after all, it was in the mountains, and Dad Ding was still very worried about Miao Miao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, a group of them under the leadership of their grandfather, took three bamboo baskets from their grandfather's house and set off up the mountain, meeting people along the way, and just saying that they went up the mountain to pick some herbs, and the people in this annex were sick, and they all listened to the Chinese medicine to pick some herbs, and every household knew some commonly used herbs, which was not surprising, and no one thought it strange.
When they arrived on the mountain, Miao Miao stayed in Ding's father's back basket at the beginning, carried by Ding's father, and several people except for his grandfather were a little slower, and they walked through the periphery very quickly.
When she reached the junction, Miao Miao saw that there were even more small animals, because she was carried on her back, and her vision was far away, and she saw white and gray rabbits scurrying around in the grass from time to time.
"Let's dig a few traps here, and we'll come back and take them here, it's convenient!"
"Okay!" Youqing also thinks it's good.
"I listen to Dad!"
Saying that, my grandfather first took Ding's father and Youqing to dig several holes together, and then used a firewood knife to cut a lot of sharp wooden tips, inserted them into the hole, and finally laid hay and other things on the hole, and spread them as if they had not dug holes.
When these were done, my grandfather deliberately made some conspicuous scratches on the trees near these traps, and drew a horizontal line in a circle.
"Grandpa, what is this for? For our own sake? I remember them all! "Miao Miao also helped to lay the hay just now, and after laying it, I was about to see if there was anything I could help with, when I saw my grandfather writing and painting on the tree, and when I walked in, it turned out to be a mark!
When my grandfather heard this, he just smiled, and did not stop what he was doing, and carved carefully with the stone: "Miao Miao has a really good memory!" But it's not just for us! I don't know who will go up the mountain every day, in case I step on the trap laid by someone, and both sides will not be able to please the injured, so ah, everyone is used to making a little mark next to the trap, so as to remind passers-by, and let people know that the prey here has an owner! ”
Miao Miao nodded frequently when she listened, and felt that it made sense. Outsiders are often like this, always like to talk about the ancients, tell some historical anecdotes to children, and use some common sense. Miao Miao, who has grown up, rarely sees her grandfather, and the opportunity to listen to these has been greatly reduced, but now she has the opportunity again, and Miao Miao naturally cherishes it.
"Grandpa, who first came up with this?"
"Well, that's been a long time. At the earliest, it must have been the hunters on this mountain, but now everyone lives under the mountain and goes to farm. It's not clear whose ancestors were. After my grandfather finished drawing a tree, he leaned his neck and rested for a while.
"However, I heard from the old people that at first, it was the peasants under the mountain who went up the mountain to chop firewood, and accidentally fell into the trap, and his foot was stabbed and bloody, but fortunately, there were other people next to him at that time, and they rescued him together, but unfortunately, his leg was still lame." Speaking of this, my grandfather's tone was a little low, this farmer, it's all manual work, and men are even more pillars, once the leg is lame, it will be a disaster for the whole family.
The peasants did not want the hunters to dig traps anymore, so they deliberately sabotaged and stole the prey in the traps. The hunters simply followed the animals down the mountain to destroy the crops, and the two sides were inextricably fought. ”
Grandpa said, a little embarrassed, I don't know if I thought of that scene, or if I was tired and rested slowly. Miao Miao was in a hurry, "Grandpa, and then what?" What happened? ”
"Later!" Grandpa looked at his granddaughter's anxious appearance, and was a little complacent about his ability to talk about the ancients, and he didn't sell it anymore.
Later, the old hunter and the old man of the village came to an agreement, and they decided to let the hunter teach the peasants some simple hunting methods and how to identify traps, let the peasants teach the hunters how to grow crops, and then divide some land and seeds to the hunters under the mountain. In this way, everyone is at peace, and the hunters have crops and are no longer simply dangerous hunters, and the peasants occasionally want to eat meat, and they go up the mountain to hunt according to the method. And then these methods are passed down from generation to generation. The guild's is also your Taigongjiao! ”
"So, now they're all farmers? There are no more hunters in the mountains? Miao Miao immediately understood that this is how history develops and evolves.
"Yes, Orion actually has no land, so there is no way to live in the mountains, otherwise, who wants to take risks every day! Many Orions never married a wife in their lives and died at a very young age. If you get it for a long time in time, you will be injured when you get old, and it is not comfortable! ”
Miao Miao was about to continue to discuss with her grandfather, and her uncle called out.
"Dad, are you alright? It's not too early! Shall we go inside at all? Youqing and her brother-in-law set up a few traps, and when they saw that their father was still drawing markers, they were chatting with Miao Miao, so they couldn't help but urge.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Just as my grandfather finished drawing the last sign, he picked up Miao Miao, sandwiched it under his armpit, and strode to Ding's father.
The four of them met, and Ding's father hurriedly took Miao Miao: "Dad, Miao Miao is heavy, I'll come!" ”
"How heavy is it, how long it is!" Grandpa thought about the bones that Miao Miao had just felt, and couldn't help but reply. "Okay, let's go, you can lead the way in the back, you can go a lot inside."
"Okay, then I'll go first, I know a place, where there are a lot of wild mountain mushrooms!" Youqing was ready to lead the way for everyone, not to mention the first step,
"That's good, we don't have to take the wrong road." Ding's father wanted to take care of his father-in-law, "Dad, you go first, I'll break it later!" ”
It's a pity that my grandfather doesn't appreciate it, after all, this is a native place of my grandfather and uncle, and no matter what, it's a little better than Ding's father, who is not in the land.
"Jianguo, you still go in the middle, I'll break it off, I'm familiar with it here. And you still have Miao Miao with you, you can't see anything in the back, if you hurt Miao Miao, you probably don't know. ”
When Ding's father heard this, he originally wanted to let him go again, but he was pushed forward by his grandfather. Ding's father can't help it, thinking of his daughter, he didn't push me with his father-in-law anymore, this road is not so easy to walk.
The group walked quietly into the mountain......
"Dad, I can go by myself!" Miao Miao was held by her father and put into the back basket, retorting in a low voice. Seeing that her father was deep and shallow, and she had to protect herself, Miao Miao didn't want to be a drag.
Father Ding heard Miao Miao muttering in a low voice behind him, and he hurried to the road with the wind under his feet, and laughed without looking back, "What, now you know that you are in trouble?" I have to come with me when I'm at home~"
"Dad, don't look down on me, maybe I can find a baby who makes a lot of money!" Miao Miao thought of her plan, and she was not convinced by her father's words, and when she spoke, she deliberately elongated and elongated the three words of making a lot of money. Particularly highlight the large characters.
"Dad, why don't you let me down, I'll go by myself, you can just hold me!"
"I'll let you down later, Miao Miao is good, you see that the leaves here are getting thicker and thicker, and Dad can't walk!" Father Ding felt that Miao Miao was struggling behind, so he hurriedly held on to the basket and comforted Miao Miao's little emotions by the way.
A few people in the forest didn't know how long they had been spinning, and finally the uncle in front of them stopped.
"Look, this is the last time I was here, and now there are more of them, no one picks them, this thing can really make money?"
"Yes, fresh and sun-dried are still two prices, and if you are well-sunburned, you can still sell herbs!" As he spoke, Father Ding put down the basket and put Miao Miao on the ground.
After Miao Miao stepped on the ground, he couldn't wait to go to the nearest tree, and casually picked several wild mountain mushrooms.
"Dad, let's pick it quickly, I'll pick it too, there are a lot of them here!"
"Yes, Jianguo, let's pick it, it's not early, how much can we pick, and we can come again next time!"
"Okay, Dad!" As soon as he came, there was such a big harvest, and Ding's father was naturally happy, but he was a little worried about Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, or you should follow Dad." Let's do it together! ”
"No, I want to pick it myself." Miao Miao doesn't want to be stared at by Ding's father all the time, she still wants to hunt for treasure!
Youqing had already gone to the side to pick it up, and when he heard the words of the two fathers and daughters, neither of them let anyone, so he couldn't help Miao Miao, "Brother-in-law, don't be afraid, it's safe here, there are no beasts, we all often go up the mountain, I don't know, besides, everyone is so close, just shout, Miao Miao, you don't run far, don't you?" ”
"Yes, yes, Dad, I'm in this range, you can see me! Don't run around! ”
Miao Miao immediately guaranteed it, and she was not allowed to swear to the sky and send a poisonous spell to make her father believe in herself.
Seeing Miao Miao's insistence, Father Ding had no choice but to compromise, "This is what you said!" If you don't behave, next time Dad won't believe you! ”
"Rest assured!" Miao Miao, who got the consent, jumped happily, turned to the tree in front of Ding's father, and obediently picked wild mountain mushrooms, Ding's father looked up from time to time, and saw his daughter's well-behaved appearance, and slowly relieved.
Who knows, just after a while, I heard Miao Miao calling himself, Ding's father looked up, Miao Miao had already gone around a few trees, and when he looked from here, he could only see a few corners of his clothes, and he didn't hear anything clearly, so he quickly ran over!
"Miao Miao, what's wrong, what's wrong!"
"Look, Dad, what I found, look!" Miao Miao didn't feel Ding's father's nervousness at all, and her whole body was filled with surprises! Can't wait to share it with Dad.
