Chapter 42: The Base

We followed the path to the hill behind the school.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! I've never seen a camellia bloom so beautiful. Is this what you mean by falling flowers? How do you call it a falling flower? She asked, puzzled.

"If you take a closer look, are there still some unfinished tea fruits on the tree?" I said.

"Whew! There really is. She looked at Yichaguo carefully and said.

"Only when the tea fruit is ripe and falls to the ground, the flowers bloom best, so I call it the landing flower!" I explained.

"Looks like that's the case." She said.

"We're in full bloom today." I smiled at her.

"What? Do you mean we did that? She asked, confused.

"Yes! Our boys and girls have come to an end! And the flowers of men and women have begun to bloom. That is to say, an old period has ended, and a new one has begun to arrive. I explained.

"Oh! That's how it was understood. The silver suddenly realized.

"There is nectar in this flower, do you want to eat it?" I turned to her and said to her.

"Really? If you want to eat, how do you eat it? You don't pick the flowers, do you? She asked, puzzled.

"Come, I'll teach you a way, that's how we've been eating since we were kids." With that, I plucked a withered fern from the grass, gently folded it back and forth from the middle twice, and then carefully pulled it away, and one side of the fern became a hollow tube.

"Stick it at the bottom of the stamen, and you can suck it and see." I handed her the tube, and she sucked it up.

"Wow! I ate it, it's so sweet! She said happily after sucking.

"Before sucking, see if there are any bugs and bees in the flowers, and some flowers have them, and they also eat nectar." I told her.

I made a small tube again, and we started sucking the nectar constantly, like two big bees. We came to the northern hillside, and Silver found a clearing with several earthen pits, and there were traces of fire.

"What kind of place is this? Someone used to burn a fire here. Silver said curiously.

"This is where we used to simmer sweet potatoes, and we made these pits, and if you look closely, they look like a simple stove." I explained.

"Whew! It's really, like a stove. Yinzi crouched down and looked at it carefully.

"The sweet potatoes simmered here are fragrant, not only can you simmer sweet potatoes, but you can also simmer potatoes and taro." I said proudly.

"Shall we simmer sweet potatoes and eat them? I want to eat. She looked at me expectantly.

"Let's come tomorrow, not now. We'll go to the market tomorrow morning to buy some sweet potatoes and come over and simmer them. I said.

"Oooh! That's great! She smiled.

Looking at her happy face, I think she sometimes looks like a child who hasn't grown up. In fact, how could each of us not be like this? No matter how old you are, when you encounter some related and interesting things and situations in your life, you will inevitably have a moment of childlike innocence, but more or less, and the way it is manifested is somewhat different.

"Come, I'll take you to another interesting place." I said, taking her hand.

This is a place on the west side of the hill where the slope is steeper and the weeds are higher and deeper, and I carefully came to the two trees that grew close together, pulled out the high and deep grass next to the trees, and saw a flat clearing a few meters square below, I jumped down first, and then took the silver down.

"Wow! It's a good place, you can't see it from above, you can't see it from below, it's like a comfortable place. The silver looked up and down, left and right, and said.

I knocked down all the weeds in the flat field, left the surroundings untouched, and then said to Yinzi, "This is my secret base, this is where we used to hide and seek when I was a child, and no one knows about it." You see, there are two big trees and weeds on it, and there is a tea tree on each side of this clearing, and the slope here is so steep that no one can see it. I used to watch the sunset here, and you see, the sun was setting in the distance. I pointed my finger to her.

Ginko and I really sat down and watched the sun set, and the two of us whispered quietly from time to time.

It's a place where love has never been there, but it's the first time I've brought it here.
