Chapter 105: Descending the Mountain
Pei Yao pulled out a few large taro leaves that were still green next to her, wrapped the root of the ginseng with some soil, wrapped it in leaves, and put it at the bottom of the basket.
Pei Yao felt that her luck was still good today, and when she saw that the snake didn't move, she turned away. As a result, I found a hot spring again, and found a ginseng, this luck is bursting, can it be the reward given by the snake fairy when he saw that he didn't touch it?
Pei Yao looked nonsensically at the hillside, dug out the pit of ginseng, and bowed a few times!
If the man who was driven to the mountain saw Pei Yao's movements, he would be angry, I had heard of digging ginseng before worshipping the mountain, but I had never heard of digging the pit after digging!
But Pei Yao's heart is simply a kind of gratitude, she really doesn't know any rules, in her previous life, the mountains in her hometown were about to be searched, and it was rare to be able to dig up a wild ginseng seedling, and the larger ginseng was a legend, and she had no experience in chasing mountain guests at all.
Now that Haocai has dug up the treasure, Pei Yao feels that it is worth it to turn around and go home immediately.
But I'm here for a long-term business, I can't smash myself with a pie, and I have to move on, even though this pie is made of gold!
The two of them climbed up the col from the north, the slope was relatively gentle, and they continued to walk into the mountain, there was no accident here, except for the small col, the vegetation in the north mountain was almost all withered, and it was difficult to find any ginseng or the like, and there was no leaf identification, and the ginseng might not be found if it stepped on its feet.
Finally, I walked around a large forest full of branches, and suddenly there was a vast expanse of tall pine trees standing upright!
This is a fruit pine forest, among which there are also cedar pines, cypress pines, looking at the height of this tree, there is absolutely no big few decades can not grow like this.
Duoduo may also like this kind of wide place, constantly playing in the pine forest, and digging pits from time to time, and I don't know what it is doing.
Pei Yao didn't care about it, she stepped on the thick pine needles under her feet, and walked in while taking a deep breath, the smell of pine oil was so good, she liked the smell. Picking up a tower of pine trees that had not been scraped clean by mountain rats and squirrels, she wanted to cheer happily, great, there was one more kind of food, pine nuts!
Take out a bite and crush it, well, it's quite fragrant and full, not bad!
Satisfied, he instructed Wu Shudao: "Wu Shu, you take this pine tower, just like this, pick up the pine nuts in it full, you first put the pine tower you picked up into your back basket, I went to get pine oil, I didn't expect that the depths of the mountain are so rich in species, first you can load as much as you want, next time if it doesn't snow, let's come a few more times." “
With the mentality of blindly obeying Sister Yao's words, Wu Shu didn't pick up this dry-looking thing that seemed to be only used to burn the fire, so he searched for it on the ground diligently.
There are still a lot of pine towers, but some of them have been hollowed out by animals such as squirrels, and many of them are without pine nuts
Pei Yao's side on a broken tree stump, dug out a lump of solidified pine oil, some pine trees at the foot of the root of the seat is also a pile of pine oil, I don't know how it was generated, it may be that the tree has been injured or attracted insect pests, it will produce a large amount of pine oil to resist the enemy.
The forest is big enough, the years are long enough, Pei Yao's big lump of digging, soon the basket will not be able to fit, carefully put the ginseng wrapped in leaves, put it on the top side of the pine oil, see that Wu Shu's pine tower is almost picked up, and said to him: "Let's go back, it's not early, we don't have to go back before dark, we have to spend the night in the mountains and forests." “
When Wu Shu heard this, he walked back with Pei Yao with the basket on his back.
The two took out the oil paper bag in their arms, this oil paper is used to buy dim sum, and now it is used to wrap cooked food, and it is also waterproof, which is almost easy to use with modern plastic bags.
When I opened it, three flattened buns appeared in front of me, especially Pei Yao's, which was flattened when rolling down the hillside, and then Wu Shu's vigorous collision...
Feeling that the 'vegetable cake' was still a little hot and exhaling, no matter what it looked like, the two of them ate two of them in a few bites while walking, and then one of them divided one and fed it to Duoduo to pad the bottom, and walked down the mountain quickly.
Passing by the hot spring col when they went back, the two of them did not pause, and continued to walk back, making marks all the way, and finally because they deviated from the route when they came up, the two of them walked vertically down from the hot spring in order to remember, and finally came out from the direction of the bamboo forest, not the stream when they entered the mountain.
When I got home, it was almost dark, and seeing that only my godfather was walking around the courtyard at home, Pei Yao said strangely: "Godfather, why don't you go in the courtyard, it's going to be dark." “
Hearing the voice, the godfather, who had been looking at the other side of the stream, turned around, and said with half surprise and half surprise: "This girl, why did you two come back from behind, your mother and the three of them went up to greet you from this side, and after a while, you go and shout." “
didn't care about saying anything more and put down the basket, Pei Yao ran to the side of the stream, shouting as she ran: "Mother, Sister Vanilla, Wu Man, I'm back, you guys come down!" “
I heard my mother's voice from a distance, this is heard, Pei Yao stopped shouting, just waited for them to go down the mountain, and it didn't take long to see the three of them lighting a torch and going down, the godmother saw Pei Yao and said: "Come down so late, let my mother worry!" “
Pei Yao's heart was sweet, holding her mother with one hand and her sister with the other, and said: "It's okay, I'm with Wu Shu Duoduo, and we will go back as soon as possible, but I came back late because I found something good to mark, I won't next time." ”
Her mother touched Pei Yao's little hand and felt hot, it seemed that she hadn't been frozen in the mountains for a day, so she didn't discipline her, but it made Pei Yao beautiful, and some of us also cared about it!
Grandma, you see Pei Yao is doing well!
I was slightly melancholy in my heart, and I cheered up, there are a lot of good things today, she wants to go back to have a full meal, and then tell you about the adventures of the two of them and a dog in the forest.
After dinner, the godfather took the fat ginseng and sighed, this is the king of ginseng, if you want to exchange it for silver, you can't stop it for at least 1,800 taels of silver, and if you meet a rich person who is asking for this, it is okay to exchange some gold.
The godfather didn't sleep for half the night, and he said he couldn't sleep. Carefully put the ginseng in a basin and wash it with water, use a piece of hairy pork skin, brush off the soil on the ginseng, and then put a new cotton cloth on the hot place on the stove, sit next to it and turn it over from time to time, until the stove is not very hot in the middle of the night before going to sleep, which shows how precious it is to this ginseng!
And Pei Yao, who has no heart and lungs, saw that her father took over the drying thing, so she went to bed on the kang early, and today she and Wu Shu were exhausted for a day, climbing the mountain for a day, and carrying heavy loads down the mountain, Pei Yao felt that she was still climbing the mountain in her dreams, and she was so tired that she talked in her dreams. This was what her father told her the next day. (To be continued.) )
