Dongshan Village faces the open field, the back is connected to the continuous mountains, the highest peak is in the East Mountain, the mountains are deep and dense and the forest does not know the end, no one in the East Mountain Village has walked the entire East Mountain for generations, even the most experienced and powerful hunters can't!

The mysterious mountain is also like a treasure, free of charge for the residents at the foot of the mountain to go into the mountain to pick and search, the ability to harvest more, the ability to get less, in short, as long as you are willing to spend effort to climb the mountain, look for it with your heart, will not let you return empty-handed!

The whole mountain range is very long, and there are several villages at the foot of the mountain, and the reason why Higashiyama Village is called this name is naturally because it is right at the foot of Higashiyama.

The men dig a trap to catch pheasants and hares, and if they are lucky, they can get a wild boar and roe deer, while the women can only find some wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots and bracken, or pick some mountain fruits and half a basket of edible leaves to mix at home to make a batter.

This year's autumn grain was lost due to locusts, and the parents and officials also reported it to the authorities, and the autumn grain tax was exempted, and the tax was exempted, but the rations still had to be found. What should I do if I don't pick up the green and yellow?

The villagers became nervous, taking advantage of the fact that there were no snakes and insects in the mountains in the golden autumn season, and they went up the mountain to look for mountain goods.

Tian used to take his daughter into the mountain, and when he went out, he reminded his daughter that there were a few chestnut trees in the forest in a certain direction on the mountain, and he was afraid that they were ripe, and he was going to go there to see them today!

Jinyu agreed, but Jinxiu is more concerned about the mountain fruits, according to Jinyu and Jinyun said, there are many kinds of mountain fruits on the East Mountain, in May and June, there are mountain peach mountain, apricot mountain, plum mountain, cherry scale, fruit and so on, and in July and October, mountain pear mountain grape mountain chestnut pecan small fragrant spine...... Most of the fruits in May, June and July are not very delicious, six points are sour and astringent and four points sweet, and the mountain fruits found after autumn are relatively sweet.

Splendid pondering the fruit forests in the gourd cave, the green branches are full of fruits, and the red, red, yellow and yellow colors are not too good-looking, but I don't see what kind of fruits they are!

The three sisters walked to the east end of the village, and saw four or five girls gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, ranging from ten to fifteen or sixteen years old, all wearing old clothes, carrying baskets on their backs, and tying their trousers with strips of cloth.

When they saw the three splendid sisters, the little girls gathered around to greet them.

"Sister Jinxiu, you also go up the mountain? Does it still hurt? ”

This is Liu Daniu, Jinxiu recognizes, the daughter of the neighbor Aunt Liu, who looks like her mother, smaller than Jinxiu and older than Jinyu, a very simple and kind girl.

Liu Daniu took her sister, twelve-year-old Liu Erniu, and Jinyu held hands and talked together.

"Jinxiu, why did you provoke the old man? It's all so big and beaten! ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a disgusted look, I don't know, Jinyu later told my sister that she was Fang Huahao, because her cousin Fang Yueyuan didn't like to be with her but liked to play with Jinxiu, and Fang Hua didn't like Jinxiu if she was good.

Jinxiu ignored her and turned to talk to two other girls of the same age.

Ye Shuiling and Yang Dongmei, they came to visit during the injury and lying in bed, Ye Shuiling gave half a basket of eggs, Yang Dongmei sent two pheasants and a hare before and after, although they were confiscated by Feng Liang's and did not eat a bite of Jinxiu, but she received that love.

"Jinxiu, are you only in the middle of the mountain or in the mouth today? If you cross the pass, stay with us, don't get separated! ”

Yang Dongmei has a heroic look on her face, her family is an old hunter, her father has also hunted tigers and leopards, and it is common for wild boars and wild sheep to be trapped, so the girls in the village go up the mountain and can be accompanied by Yang Dongmei, so they don't have to worry about anything.

"Jinxiu, I heard that you and Jinyu caught pheasants and hares a few days ago? Are you sure? ”

Ye Shuiling blinked her eyes like a baby, Jinxiu gave a positive answer, and the girl exclaimed again:

"Good luck!"

I don't know if it's because the name is good, I grew up in the countryside and helped the family, but Ye Shuiling was born with Yuxue skin, and her face was clear and red, and she was the best skin of all the girls in the village.

The three Jinxiu sisters are naturally inferior to her, Jinxiu has been raised at home for more than ten days due to excessive blood loss due to injury, and the whole person has turned pale, while Jinyu and Jinyun have black and yellow skin - definitely not born, but often work outdoors, sun, rain, wind, and malnutrition!

A few more girls who were going to enter the mountain came one after another, Yang Dongmei looked at the sky, waved her hand, and everyone walked out of the village in pairs and headed for the east mountain.

Follow Yang Dongmei, is to cross the mouth into the deep mountainous area, a few days ago the splendid sisters chopping firewood is only at the foot of the left peak of the pass.

It takes time and body to climb from the foot of the mountain to the foot of the Yakou Peak, the little girls have different physiques, who is strong and who is weak, and it can be seen when they climb to the mountainside - the strong ones move forward, the weaker ones fall in the middle, and the weakest ones climb a few steps to take a few breaths, and then climb!

Jinxiu is now weaker, with Jinyun to accompany her, Jinyu bravely went forward!

The gap between the two steep peaks is called the mouth, Yang Dongmei climbed there first, and then stood on a flat stone and waited for everyone to come up, and then said the rules of entering the deep mountains and dense forests: don't be too far away, echo each other, and make sure that one side is in difficulty and all four sides rush over to take care of it...... Finally, a few hours later, we gathered here and went down the mountain together!

Everyone agreed to disperse and walk away, Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling asked Jinxiu if they wanted to be together? Jinxiu smiled and shook her head: "I'm still with my little sister!" When I'm as sharp as I used to be, I'll follow you!" ”

Yang Dongmei and Ye Shuiling comforted her a few words, and walked into the dense forest together.

Jinyu wanted to be with Jinxiu and Jinyun, and Liu Daniu and Erniu also followed, so everyone chose a direction, and the two sisters were divided into two teams, more than ten steps apart to search and advance.

Jinxiu didn't know the mountain goods, but this did not prevent her from exploring the curiosity, learning the appearance of Jinyu and Jinyun, with a pair of eyes wide open, and cleverly looking around.

After walking in the mountains and forests for half an hour, I heard Liu Erniu not far away shouting happily:

"We found two matsutake mushrooms! Matsutake mushrooms! ”

Jinyun said enviously: "What about matsutake mushrooms, Sister Dong also saw it last year, and took it to the town to sell it at the Fulexi Restaurant, and got two taels of silver!" ”

Of course, Jinxiu knows that matsutake mushrooms are rare and expensive, and the fresh matsutake mushrooms in the previous world cost hundreds of yuan a catty.

The two were muttering quietly, and suddenly heard Jinyu shouting in front of them: "Sister, come quickly!" ”

Jinxiu and Jinyun hurriedly rushed over, Jinyu pointed to a thigh-high plant on his side, and said: "I remember that once Sister and Sister Dong went up the mountain and picked a few medicinal herbs, and the master took them when he saw them, very similar to this!" ”

Jinxiu took a closer look and smiled: "What is very similar?" Simply that! This is a good herb, called Panax notoginseng flower, also called Tian Qihua, which can reduce inflammation, detoxification, and calm depression and accumulate rational heart! ”

In my previous life, there were many plants planted in my yard, including Panax notoginseng flowers, which I looked at every day, and it was difficult to know if I didn't want to, and the effect of Panax notoginseng was also told by my grandfather!

Splendid spirits lifted: it turns out that she doesn't recognize anything!

The three sisters happily dug up the roots of this Panax notoginseng plant, searched for it nearby, and found three more, and the other one was still very small, and the splendid was also dug up, and then threw it into the cave while the sisters were not paying attention, and let it continue to grow in the cave.

Continuing to walk forward, a fallen pine tree blocked the way, Jinyun raised his foot and stepped on it twice, Jinyu shouted in surprise: "Don't step on it!" ”

The two squatted down and cheered in unison: "Matsutake mushrooms!" We also found matsutake mushrooms! ”

Jinxiu leaned over and looked: It turns out that matsutake looks like this? I drank matsutake soup in my previous life, but I really didn't know matsutake mushrooms!

Under the fallen pine tree, more than a dozen matsutake mushrooms, large and small, emerged! The big ones have children's slaps, the small ones only have small thumbs, and there is no need to pick them if they are as small as soybean grains.

Jinxiu silently threw those small grains of matsutake mushrooms into the hole.

Walking further, I didn't see the chestnut tree prompted by Tian's family, but I found three or four walnut trees!

The walnut tree is very tall, and there are walnut fruits hanging on the tree, but the fruit of the lower branches is gone, and the bottom of the tree is also very clean, and it is obvious that someone has come to pick it!

Everything in the mountains is like this, whoever meets whom, there is no zài number to occupy it!

Jinxiu roughly estimated that if a few walnut trees were all knocked down, the baskets of five or six people would not be able to be filled, and she silently stared at the walnut fruit on the tree and wanted to put it into the cave, but found that it didn't work! Looking at the walnuts on the fallen silently, they were thrown in in an instant!

What do you mean? Could it be that there are rules in the cave, which are not allowed to be collected without labor?

Jinxiu also climbed the tree and shook the branches, while letting Jinyun call for Sister Liu Daniu to come over, after all, it was all the way, and there were pecans to count them as a share.

When Liu Daniu and Erniu arrived, Jinxiu had already picked up Jinyun into small piles of walnuts and sent them into the cave several times.

The brocade jade on the tree is even more energetic, and he doesn't look at what is going on under the tree.

Jinxiu threw five or six baskets of walnuts into the cave, so many people might not be able to carry them all after a while.

In the end, they are used to doing their work, Liu Daniu, Erniu and Jinyu are as tough, they climb the tree directly, the three of them jump and jump and shake on it, the bunches of round fruits fall like rain, and the Jinyun under the tree laughs, and you can't see your eyes!

Taking advantage of their excitement, Jinxiu jumped down from the tree, squatted on the edge and dug carefully and quickly with a firewood knife - she carefully compared the leaves, these were a few walnut tree seedlings, to be dug up and put into the hole to plant!

The laughter attracted three or four more girls, and everyone shouted and shouted together, and before long, the walnuts on the tree were almost shaken, and only the top few particularly stubborn ones remained, but they did not fall.

Let's see that there is still time, everyone will sit on the spot and smash the walnut fruit with a stone, and if you remove the outer skin, you can hold more walnuts!

The little girls were talking about it, it would be nice to meet so many mountain chestnuts, after the mountain chestnuts were removed, there were many times more Ren'er than walnuts!

Jinxiu is speechless: eating too many chestnuts will cause stomach acid, and walnuts are also more nutritious than chestnuts, right?

She didn't know that the villagers dried the chestnuts and mixed them with a variety of grains to grind them into flour, boiled paste or steamed nests, and ate them to fill their stomachs without gastric acid. And the little girls carried walnuts home, and they also had to take them to the town to sell them for money, and they would not keep them for their own food.
