Early the next morning, on the way to the northeast of Tishi Village, several people carried backpacks and marched forward.

At the front was a young man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, strong and stocky, carrying a rather large backpack and an iron fork or something like that. A posture of opening the way.

He was followed by three young and beautiful girls and a yellow dog with a small leg, the yellow dog jumped around, and from time to time frolicked with a beautiful girl with short hair that reached her ears, making her giggle, and the ponytail girl next to her couldn't help but say a few jokes, which made the two chase each other for a while. The other beautiful girl with her hair kept smiling and silent, but although she was smiling, there was a slight coldness between her eyebrows.

And behind the three girls, there are three people, two young and one old.

Seeing the three girls in front of him walking and making trouble, the chuckle that came from time to time, the older people who followed behind sighed lightly and sighed: "Alas, it's better to be young, and once you get older, you won't be useful." ”

"Uncle, are you still old?"

The young man quipped: "Looking at your energy, I estimate that you will have to fight for the party's cause for at least another 60 years!" ”

"your calves!"

The older man laughed and scolded. The young fat man on the side also smiled.

The group was just going to the dry reservoir in the neighboring county.

It was Li Zhiqiu who was the first to open the way, and it was Secretary Liwen's idea to let him come, saying that he was familiar with the road and happened to be a guide.

Among the three girls in the back, Wen Binbin is naturally a little lonely, while the other two are Zhou Yali, and the other is Gao Liang, who has just returned from the city.

Gao Liang actually graduated from the same school and the same department as Wen Binbin, two classes apart, and she is a school girl. Hearing that Wen Binbin was going to investigate, she insisted on coming with her despite her injuries. It was useless for Secretary Liwen to persuade them, and in the end, Secretary Liwen had no choice but to arrange for Zhou Yali to come with her, so that if something happened, she would have to take care of her, so that she could rest assured that she would follow.

As for the fat man, it was Hu Dali, and the young one was Li Chen. And Li Chen was about to go out, the little yellow dog naturally chased after him, Li Chen didn't want to take it, but who expected that Xiao Huang actually found Gao Liang's talisman and entangled her, leaving Li Chen helpless.

At the same time, after all, I have to go to the border of the two counties, and Uncle Dewen, who is a village cadre, also followed, and if I use it, I will do the corresponding work to contact something.

Everyone set off early, but because the road to that side was mostly mountainous, there was no way to get a car. In addition, Wen Binbin insisted on surveying and surveying along the road, so everyone walked on the road.

Moreover, after going for dozens of miles, a hundred miles back and forth, plus surveying, it is expected to take two or three days, so everyone has prepared field tents, dry food, clothes and other items, fortunately it is summer, but there is no need to worry about the temperature is too low.

Everyone walked all the way, chatting a few words from time to time, but also chatting about boring.

After walking for more than an hour, I had already left the interface of Tizhi Village and really entered the mountains in the neighboring county. The mountain roads are more difficult to navigate, and there are more barren grass and vines. The vegetation here is much more lush than in the village of Tisha, and the further you go, the denser the vegetation becomes. From time to time, long-tailed curtains, flower magpies, chickadees and unknown small birds were frightened, and several frightened large hares were encountered hurrying into the grass.

At this time, Li Chen had already changed to the front of the team, and snatched the iron fork from Zhiqiu's hand, and claimed to change the guard with Brother Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu didn't agree, but he couldn't stand Li Chen's hard grinding, so he had to let him. But he still followed Li Chen closely, for fear that something would happen to Li Chen. For this Li Chen, who is also the boss and the younger brother, Li Zhiqiu now feels more and more that this person is "stunned to get", as the saying goes, if you receive a little water grace, you will be rewarded by Yongquan, and you have no other ability, but you can do what you can for the boss It is a good reward.

Xiao Huang was also very excited at this time, chasing around Li Chen, sometimes earlier than Li Chen found something, and the sound of Wang Wang could also scare away a lot of insects and birds, which can be called a real "urgent pioneer".

Seeing Li Chen opening the way alertly in front, others were fine, but Gao Liang and Wen Binbin couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Chen. Gao Liang thought that Li Chen was guilty because of his previous injury, while Wen Binbin was careful about Li Chen's thoughtful and low-key style of doing things deepened a lot.

Everyone walked for another half an hour, and Uncle Zhou Yali proposed to take a break, after all, they were young and fine, and Uncle Devon was already a little tired and couldn't breathe. Although his backpack had already been snatched away by Li Chen, after all, his age was not forgiving.

However, at this time, Li Zhiqiu proposed that everyone insist on a short while, and rest in front, saying that there is just a mulberry forest in front, and the mulberries should be ripe at this time, and they are just picked and eaten.

As soon as they heard that there were wild fruits, Gao Liang and Zhou Yali immediately became excited, and even Uncle Devon was infected, and everyone really continued to move forward.

"Look, is that right?"

Sure enough, after walking for about ten minutes, the sharp-eyed Zhou Yali suddenly pointed to a plant on the hillside in front of her left and shouted.

The crowd followed the prestige.

Li Chen's eyesight is excellent, so he naturally saw clearly, and it was indeed a mulberry forest. It looks quite large, and there are a lot of long, black, fiery red fruits in the middle of the leaves. It should be mulberries.

Li Chen knows that mulberries are indeed small-sized fruits with excellent taste, and he remembers that when he was in elementary school, he often went to the mountains with his friends to pick and eat. I remember when I was in elementary school, the teacher also mobilized the students to learn how to raise silkworms, and also gave some silkworm eggs to everyone. After the beginning of spring, the silkworm eggs give birth to small silkworms, which are wriggling one by one, which is very fun. At that time, Li Chen was naturally very active in picking mulberry leaves in the mountains, and the ripening period of mulberries was very early, generally from April to June, Li Chen and his friends picked mulberry leaves at the same time, naturally they had to feast on it.

At that time, some people also planted this kind of tree in their homes, but in terms of taste and size, it was not as old as the wild ones.

And here it is even more sparsely populated, and it seems that this fruit is even more infallible.

"That's right, that's it!"

After getting Li Zhiqiu's confirmation, Gao Liang and Zhou Yali cheered excitedly. Then he trotted forward. Xiao Huang naturally wagged his tail to join in the fun.

Seeing their excitement, even Wen Binbin, who had an indifferent expression, had a hint of intention flashing in his eyes. But he didn't follow. Uncle Devon shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Chen didn't follow, but he released his divine thoughts and carefully checked the hillside, but fortunately, there were no dangerous snakes and insects. Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Li Chen and the others approached, Gao Liang and the others had already climbed into the mulberry tree.

After finding an open space to sit down, Li Chen gave Uncle Devon a few sips of boiled water mixed with space pool water, and after a while, the old man actually felt that his fatigue was much more relaxed, and he was very surprised, but seeing that Li Chen seemed to be fine, he couldn't help but be very puzzled.

And Wen Binbin and Hu Fatzi took a short rest, but they also went to Gao Liang and them, but looking at their posture, it seemed that they didn't want to pick mulberries, but looked at something.

took out the pool water in the bottle and took a sip, it was not easy to release his thoughts along the way, Li Chen had to hurry up and rest and replenish it.

At this time, Xiao Huang also came over. rubbed and rubbed on Li Chen. Knowing that this guy was going to be with the pool of water again, Li Chen, who had been prepared, took out a wide-mouth jar, opened it, poured some water, and drank it with a little yellow mouth, which was extremely sweet.

"Ahh Sirp..."

At this time, Gao Liang shouted in the distance.

Immediately, Zhou Yali also agreed: "It's really, why are these mulberries so small?" It's unpalatable. ”
