There was a small lake in the upper reaches of the river, already very close to the old forest, and it would not be very accurate to say that it was a small lake, but a meandering channel that had been widened two or three times as wide.

Lu Xiancheng's small tent was set up on a small open space on the edge of the small lake, where the grass has not yet spread, but because of the abundant water near the lake, there are naturally grass, small trees and the like. However, the size of the tree is not large, and there are a few sparse weeping willows.

Because of the proximity to the old forest that has been protected, there will be no shortage of firewood or anything, although it is a protected area, but no one cares about you if you pick up some firewood and grass next to it.

Lu Xiancheng picked up some stones and built a circle to block the fire, and then set up a triangular stand to hold a small pot, which was now boiling boiling water for tea.

At this time, Lu Xiancheng shrunk his body in a camping chair, with sunglasses on his nose, basking in the sun, flipping through a book and reading with relish, and heard the sound of boiling water and lifting the lid of the pot, so he put the book in his hand on the small stool next to him, got up and made himself a pot of hot tea.

Sitting back in his chair, he continued to hold the book in his hand, and gently dipped his hand in the foam, turning to the next page. The plot in the book seems to be very interesting, and Lu Xiancheng, who was funny, had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh after watching it for a while.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Lu Xiancheng looked up at the sun in the sky, felt that the time was almost up, put down the book in his hand, took out the tools from the small bag at his feet, walked closer to the river bank, and began to dig up on the wet ground with a small shovel.

Pulled out the fishing rod in the sleeve, hung up the fish float and hook that had been arranged with the fishing line, pinched the earthworm and hung it on the hook, and Lu Xiancheng took his chair and put it on the shore. Moved to the river and started fishing.

Not long after Lu Xiancheng put down the fishhook, he heard a noise in the distance. He frowned and looked in the direction where the noise came from for a while, but unfortunately he was in the bend of the river on his side, and there was still a small grove on the other side, so he couldn't see who was making trouble.

Although the forest on the opposite side is not big, it is now just blocking Lu Xiancheng's sight.

The noise on the other side of the river also attracted Erha and loaches who were playing stupidly nearby. Standing side by side with their own masters, a man, a horse and a dog stood here and looked across the river.

As the voice on the other side became clearer and clearer, Lu Xiancheng heard it, it turned out to be a group of little ghosts from You Jiawa, and one of them had a very loud voice who was not who Xiaohuzi was, and after listening to it for a while, Lu Xiancheng found that the big cat, Yang Mao and several people seemed to be there.

Lu Xiancheng heard it and immediately saw it, a group of four or five babies were now standing on the edge of the opposite bank, each carrying a basket on their backs. I can't see anything in it, but I can't see anything on it, but I guess the dirty ones on my body came back from the skin.

"Uncle Xiancheng!"

A group of little babies also saw Lu Xiancheng at this time, probably because they didn't expect to meet Lu Xiancheng in this place, and happily waved their hands at Lu Xiancheng across the river.

Lu Xiancheng raised his hand and waved at the little guys: "Where did you go to play?" How do you make it look like you fell into a dirt ditch, and your body will be blades of grass! ”。

"Let's go dig mushrooms in the mountains!" A bunch of boys said noisily.

As soon as he heard that these boys went to pick mushrooms, Lu Xiancheng suddenly remembered the bag of mushrooms that Zhao Jiuye gave him last time. When he thought of this, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but feel that he was full of relish, and he was hungry.

"How much did you pick? Give me a little. Don't worry, Uncle is not a translator and will still give money," Lu Xiancheng said loudly at a group of little ghosts on the other side.

"Uncle wants to pay back some money. Now there are more people in the town, and some people have accepted this thing, so we can take advantage of the rest day to get some to sell" Xiaohu'er stood on the shore and said to Lu Xiancheng, and then looked at Lu Xiancheng's side There are tents and pots, and immediately asked: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”。

"My family is not happy, so I came here to hide and be quiet," Lu Xiancheng said. These rural babies can really run, it is estimated that there are more than ten miles away from You Jiawa, and the four-and-a-half-year-old baby is stunned to come here with a pair of legs.

"Uncle, do you have anything good to eat?" Yang Mao looked at Lu Xiancheng's side where there was a pot and a stove, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"Lunch was still in the river. I was about to fish, but there was not much to eat, only ham sausages, "This thing was brought by Lu Xiancheng to be prepared for lunch in Erha, and now these children are here, so let's give these children a little bit to pad their stomachs, from You Jiawa to this side and then pick mountain mushrooms, these boys will come out of the house without light for eight or nine days, and they don't know whether they have eaten or not." The children in the village are not as particular as in the city, parents will nag if they don't eat a meal, here you don't eat, you don't eat, adults think that if you don't eat, you are not hungry, who has this idle work all day long to manage the children to eat one or two meals less.

As soon as they heard that there was a ham sausage, a group of boys immediately began to undress on the other side.

"Wrap around from the front!" Seeing that these little babies were about to go into the water, Lu Xiancheng immediately stopped. Although it is already May, it is a little early for Lu Xiancheng to swim in the river now.

Who knew that these little babies didn't listen at all, and jumped into the river one by one in a daze, and one by one they actually stepped on the water and held their little backpacks to this side.

Lu Xiancheng put his mind at ease when he saw that the little baby was very watery, but Erha looked at a group of little babies playing in the water, but he was energetic, and after probing a few times directly with his paws, he couldn't help but jump into the river.

Erha as soon as the water starts, the loach is a little anxious, on the river bank snorting and screaming at Erha, but unfortunately now Erha is playing in Xingtou where there is kung fu to manage the loach, after a few screams, the loach is simply fried to the river, but the height of the loach is here, and the water depth can only make the cargo swim up when it is five or six meters offshore.

Now it's okay, after a group of children sent their little baskets to the shore, they seemed to have forgotten about the ham sausage all of a sudden. Directly played with Loach Erha in the water. Everyone takes turns pulling the tail of the loach or lying on their backs, and the loache is carried by the loach to play in the water.

The little guy was making a fuss in the water here, and Lu Xiancheng was still fishing for hairy fish, and he didn't see the fish bite after waiting for a while, so he had to yell at this group of little babies: "Go to the side and play, I'll be waiting for these fish for lunch at noon today."

As soon as Lu Xiancheng's words fell, he heard the big dragon in the water sigh.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xiancheng asked.

I saw the big dragon plunge into the water, expose his two legs, gouge twice in the water, and get into the water. When he stuck his head out again, his arm was black with the mud of the river, and in one hand he grabbed something black.

"River mussels!" Lu Xiancheng recognized this thing, and the river mussel caught by Dalong's doll was quite large, and the black mussel shell was more than ten centimeters in size.

"Big Dragon, throw it over!" Lu Xiancheng took two steps towards the river bank downstream and said a word to Yang Long.

As soon as Yang Long heard that he had swam two steps, he threw the river mussel in his hand to the shore.

"Let's see if there's anything else nearby! If you have it, Uncle will make braised mussel meat for you today," picked up the river mussels on the grass, took it in his hand, and said loudly to a group of children in the water. Lu Xiancheng didn't expect that he would still have this kind of mouth blessing today, and he could eat this wild river fresh.

"Uncle Xiancheng, do you like to eat this?" Xiaohu'er immediately opened her mouth and asked as soon as she heard this.

The big cat said, "Uncle, you have to like this." Catch up with Ming'er and ask my dad to go down to the river to help you fish, this thing is rarely eaten by people on our side."

"Well, let's see if you can get a few more, if it's enough, we'll eat it at noon," Lu Xiancheng looked at the big river mussel in his hand and said happily.

When the baby heard it, he immediately said, "Okay! ”。

Then a few little babies got angry and began to sink into the water.

The big cat was the first to emerge from the water, wiped the water droplets that flowed down his hair, smiled at Lu Xiancheng, and then bent down and took out a river mussel from under him, although it was not as big as the previous one. But it's not too small.

Another mussel came ashore, and the babies showed their heads in the water one after another. This time, in addition to the big cat, Wang Peng got one.

However, as time went by, the little babies gained more and more, and when more than a dozen river mussels came ashore, Lu Xiancheng said happily: "Enough, enough!" ”。

Holding a bunch of river mussels, Lu Xiancheng happily cleaned up the silt on the mussel shells by the river. In his previous life, Lu Xiancheng had taken care of mussel meat and knew how to make this thing clean. Because I was going to eat fish at noon, the guys could bring everything well, and there was no shortage of workers.

At this time, I also had the tools at hand, and I picked up a big river mussel, and Lu Xiancheng used a knife to cut off the mussel muscles on both sides of the mussel shell. Then when it was broken, the mussel meat inside was naturally exposed.

As concocted, soon more than a dozen river mussels were pried open by Lu Xiancheng one by one, and the next thing was to clean up the mussels, the mussel gills were naturally going to be removed, and Lu Xiancheng did not have the habit of eating it, but he knew that this thing could be eaten, not for anything else, because it was disgusting to look at, and the next thing was to use a knife to cut open the mussel meat and remove the muddy soup in the mussel intestines. In this way, the mussel meat is taken care of.

The next thing is to cook in the pot, and then braise it in a wok, Lu Xiancheng is ready to come to the wild sacrifice, although the guy can't be compared with his family, but the guy he brings is still not comparable to the general camping. These household items are still carried by loaches, and it is not easy to expect them to do something now.

A dish of braised mussel meat, and then served with a pot of white rice, Lu Xiancheng now thinks about it in his mouth, and he is ready to take his baby at noon.

The river mussels on Lu Xiancheng's side were just boiling in the pot, and the little babies over there were also tired of playing in the river, and one by one the bare buttocks came out of the water, and there were also Erha and loaches drilled out together.

"Uncle Xiancheng, give me a ham sausage!" When Yang Mao'er came out, she didn't even wear pants, so she walked to Lu Xiancheng's side with her little finch exposed, and stretched out her little hand to beg for food.

Lu Xiancheng was about to get it, and when he saw that the little guy was still covered with mud on his face and had three or five cuts on his arm, he looked down and saw that the little guy's feet were as if they had just been pulled out of the mud, and he immediately said, "Go wash your body and eat it."

After speaking, he looked at the remaining ones, and found that the little ones were half a pound and half a tael, and they were all a piece of ash on their bodies, and this bath was equivalent to replacing the ash with silt in the river, so he said: "You are the same, go to the water and help each other wash everyone clean, and I will check later, and only half of the ham sausage that has not been washed is made!" ”。

"How do you get half a hair?" asked the big cat, scratching her head.

Lu Xiancheng said: "The remaining half of the root belongs to Erha!" ”。

As soon as they heard this, the little ones immediately became honest, and together they ran back to the river, and found a place free of mud and washed them.

When he went ashore again, Lu Xiancheng took a look and found that everything was clean, so he took out the ham sausage from his bag, and each little baby gave one to him. The ham sausages brought by Lu Xiancheng are not small, not the kind that are as thin as fingers, but the kind that are three or four centimeters in diameter and very thick. As for why they are all coarse, the thin ones with less than a dozen of Erha rice can't hit the bottom at all, how can Lu Xiancheng have the effort to skin the ham sausage endlessly.

The little babies took the ham sausage, and did not peel the skin and gnaw it directly as before, but turned back to their own basket one by one, each took out a small round cake, broke the round cake, and then tore open the ham sausage, bit a piece and sandwiched it in the middle of the cake, and then began to gnaw.

Lu Xiancheng saw that he hurriedly got some water for these little guys, and asked with concern, "You guys just eat like this?" Can't eat lunch yet? ”。

The big cat said: "That's all for lunch, the adults in the family all go to work in the houses where the land is divided, and no one makes lunch!" ”。

As soon as Lu Xiancheng heard that these little babies would eat this at noon, if there was no ham sausage, it would be two hard cakes, and immediately said: "Put down the cakes, and eat river mussels together later!" ”。

Although Lu Xiancheng is interested, the little ones don't seem to be interested in river mussels.

Xiaohu'er asked at this time, "Uncle, what time is it?"

Lu Xiancheng raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost half a o'clock."

As soon as he heard this time, Xiaohuzi immediately said: "Ouch, don't be in a hurry" After speaking, he squatted next to his small basket by biting the cake with his mouth, and the rest of the little babies immediately became like this when they heard it.

"What are you doing, you said that you will eat river mussels later," Lu Xiancheng said.

Xiaohu'er took the mushrooms out of his basket: "It's late to go, the people who collect the mushrooms in the town will leave, and the money given by Ming'er will be less than half of these mushrooms, and we don't have much time."

"That's enough, just leave me three or three flowers per person, how can you eat so much if you don't have me" Lu Xiancheng watched a group of small hands pick up mushrooms outside the basket, and everyone picked them out for themselves, and immediately said.

In the end, Lu Xiancheng only kept four of each, and then gave the rest of the ham sausages to the little guys, and then looked at a few little heads and slowly disappeared into the eyeliner.

Back at the camp, Lu Xiancheng cooked the rice, and as soon as the braised river mussels were ready, he rubbed his hands and prepared to eat, but found that another sound of horses' hooves came.

After seeing the person clearly, Lu Xiancheng couldn't help but say loudly: "You goods, your legs are quite long" (to be continued.) )
