Chapter Eighty-Four: Into the Mountain

Time passed, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye.

Patches of golden leaves fell, and the green grass on the ground began to turn yellow and wither.

Most of the houses in Lianhua Village have been completed, and only a few are left unbuilt.

Zhang Liang said that it can be completed before the end of the year, and it will be officially opened in the spring of next year.

After the autumn harvest was over, the hard-working and simple villagers planted the winter wheat rapeseed, and the busy villagers finally ushered in the time to rest.

In the small courtyard of Qingli's house, all kinds of chrysanthemums are blooming brightly, and the flowers are clustered, adding a bright color to this bleak season.

The big locust tree in the yard has almost lost its lush leaves, leaving only a few leaves hanging alone on the branches.

In the past, he liked to coil in the big locust tree, and he also left the trunk and returned to the living room. The lively courtyard is now cold.

"Okay, no? It's time to go to the confluence. Mo Yu knocked on the door, and without waiting for the person inside to answer, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Alright." Pulling the clothes on her body, Qingli stroked the light tooth marks left on her collarbone, and her eyes were misty.

Time flies so fast, Mingyuan took his grandfather back to H City a month ago, and Mo Xin and the others also returned to Beijing with a large bag of things more than half a month ago.

When Jiang Chuan and the others left, they told Qingli that when the village was all rebuilt, they would bring their families to travel and play.

Grandpa Deng and his family also went back, and they wanted to go to W City to see their son, and received a message from Old Man Gu, asking them to take Yiyan back for a blind date when they went back.

It's not. When Grandpa Deng and the others left, regardless of Yiyi's opposition, they took him with them.

As for Beichen. One day, he accidentally found a bracelet on Jungwoo's body, and the whole person was crazy.

Forcing Zhengyu to tell him where this bracelet came from, Zhengyu, who was startled by Beichen's sudden outburst of emotions, told him without a trace of reservation.

After knowing that this bracelet was given to Zhengyu by a woman, Beichen stood in the center of the living room and closed his eyes. Tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and the surprise after despair was clear and her eyes were sour.

It turned out that the woman who saved Zhengyu was the person Beichen had in mind. This bracelet is also a token of their love.

No, as soon as he knew the news of his lover, Beichen dragged Zhengyu, who constantly refused to resist, to say goodbye and leave to find someone.

Lele went to school, and the children also entered kindergarten. Every day when Mo Xuan gets off work. I will go to kindergarten to pick me up and go home.

For this, Qingli is very grateful, it is not that Mo Xuan is in the town, she spends a few hours every day picking up and dropping off from school.

Mo Xuan has a car, which is convenient, she rides a motorcycle, and it will be cold, in order to thank Mo Xuan. Qingli made a few big meals to treat him.

It's not that Mo Yu is jealous, Mo Xuan may be raised by Qingli to be a fat man.

"Still hurt?" I saw Qingli's slender fingers caressing the tooth marks on the collarbone. Mo Yu walked over and kissed apologetically.

In retrospect, he seemed to have bitten a little hard that day, otherwise this girl wouldn't have cried miserably.

It's just that he doesn't regret it at all, but every time he sees this tooth mark, he will have an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart.

Mo Yu's current mentality is a bit like a male in the animal kingdom, printing the things and territories he likes with his own logo, so as not to be coveted by others, in short, it is to enclose territory.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Facing Mo Yu's apologetic eyes, Qingli shook his head.

At that time, it was painful, and I didn't feel it when I was numb after the pain, but Mo Yu didn't please it, and he also left a tooth mark in the same position.

When the big guy came back, he saw the bruised collarbones of the two people, and thought that the two were fighting, so he pulled the two to persuade them.

Mo Yu was also knocked on a cane by his grandfather, saying that he was not a man and bullying the girl, which made Mo Yu cry and laugh.

Later, I learned that it was these two people who bit each other, and everyone raised their middle fingers in unison and spit out two words: perverted.

"I don't regret it." After thinking about it, Mo Yu looked at Qingli's eyes full of determination.

Qingli smiled and said, "I don't regret it either. ”

After speaking, he took his finger and pointed at the tooth marks on Mo Yu's collarbone.

Mo Yu raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and looked at the tooth marks on his shoulder, this girl was also quite ruthless, she was bleeding at the time, and she was swollen for almost half a month!

"Let's go, the village chief, they're all waiting!" touched Qingli's face, Mo Yu grabbed her waist, and the two walked downstairs slowly.

The two talked and laughed all the way to the village chief's house, and the spacious drying field was full of people.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, Lotus Village is backed by the mountains, and the mountains feed the people of this village.

Even during the famine, there was no starvation death in Lotus Village.

Yesterday evening, the village chief announced on the radio that today was the day to enter the mountain.

No, the villagers, who had eaten well early, gathered at the village chief's house with tools and joy on their faces.

At this time of year, the village chief and a few prime-aged hunters organize the old and young of the village to go into the mountains to pick wild fruits, mushrooms, fungus, and mountain treasures.

In the past, the villagers didn't care much about these things, and basically just got something to eat at home.

This year is different, since Qingli opened an online store, the villagers' endless pickled products and dried goods are sold on her online store.

Not to mention sesame leaves and dried beans, these things that the people in the village think are not delicious or rare, but the people in the city like them very much.

By the end of the month, when Qingli settled the bill for the big guys, there were a few hundred and a few thousand in the village.

With the money in hand, the villagers were stunned for a while, you look at me, I look at yours.

I really can't believe that the things that can be seen everywhere are so easy to sell, and with the money in their hands, the villagers have made up their minds that they will definitely get more fungus mushrooms in the mountains this year.

"Why are you so slow?" Wenwen, who had come over with Dongzi early to wait, saw Qingli and the two of them coming over slowly, and asked.

"Haven't you set off yet?" Glancing at Wenwen, Qingli leaned on Mo Yu and looked at the village chief who was standing on the stool to give a safety speech with interest.

"I repeat, we went to the mountains this time. You are not allowed to break away from the large army after entering, do you understand? Standing on the stool, village chief Su Zhongyuan glanced around. Asked out loud.

"Understood." Listening to the village chief's words, the villagers shouted with their necks thrown up.

The sound shook Qingli's ears and buzzed.

"Let's go." With a wave of his hand, the village chief jumped off the stool and led everyone to the deep mountains at the back of the village in high spirits.

After more than an hour, Qingli and the others finally arrived at their destination, which was a broad-leaved forest. There are old oaks, birches, pines. There are a few walnut and chestnut trees here and there.

The ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and when people step on it, it will make a rustling sound, and the four-legged snake that is alarmed by the sound will quickly escape.

The roots of the large tree are covered with thick, shaggy moss. Dark, damp places are full of mushrooms and fungus.

In the low bushes. Full of wild fruits and berries such as mountain grapes, cow eggs, Qingli picked a cow egg with wrinkled skin, peeled off the skin and stuffed it into Mo Yu's mouth, "Eat, eat, eat." ”

Pinching Qingli's nose, Mo Yu took a tentative bite, and then frowned.

It's so sweet, it's bitter, how can this thing be so sugary.

"Don't." Seeing Qingli, he picked another one. Mo Yu hurriedly refused.

Damn, I ate one of these things. He didn't want to eat the second one anymore, and if he didn't eat sweets, the sugar of this one was almost worth the sugar he had eaten for a year.

Seeing Mo Yu's refusal, Qingli shrugged, if you don't eat it, don't eat it, she just wants Mo Yu to try the taste.

"Let's go, let's go pick some mushroom fungus too." Pulling Mo Yu, Qingli walked to the place that he had been optimistic about for a long time.

The villagers scattered in twos and threes, and the aunts in the village were responsible for picking mushroom fungus, with years of experience, picking one accurate, whether it was poisonous or not, you can know at a glance.

The men held long bamboo poles and beat nuts such as pine nuts and pecans on the trees.

Knock down the walnut pine tart chestnut, and smash the people below whoavow wow scream.

The little dolls who came over to join in the fun, some with slingshots teasing the pine trees and birds bouncing on the trees.

Some of them took bags to help adults pick up pinetar chestnuts and the like that had fallen on the ground, and from time to time stretched out their little hands to pull off a berry and stuff it into their mouths.

The squirrel who felt that the food had been robbed was angry, and smashed it into the crowd below with two small paws holding the pine tower, making the villagers laugh and keep shouting "Smash more." ”

Frightened by the scream, the squirrel threw down the pine tower in its paws, staggered to a higher place, and poked out its furry head from time to time, and looked down cautiously.

In the quiet mountains and forests of the past, there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

Seeing this, the village chief arranged for Dongzi to build a few young and strong middle-aged people.

Use a sliding rod (two bamboos tied together, tied pockets directly on it, and the two people carry them one after the other, saving effort and convenience) to transport these mountain goods out first.

After Dongzi and the others left, more than an hour passed, and the experienced villagers began to prepare to descend the mountain.

Some of the mountain goods picked are not released, you need to hurry up and deal with them, otherwise they will be broken tomorrow, now it is dark early, the deep mountains at night are very dangerous, for safety, the villagers will calculate the time to go down the mountain.

There is a way that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and after a busy morning, I have walked the mountain road for so long, and when the villagers return to the village with a full basket, they are all tired and exhausted, hungry.

Qingli is better, Mo Yu is reluctant to let her get tired, the back basket has been on his back, Qingli is only responsible for loading the picked mountain goods into it, and the strength is covered by him.

Wenwen's eyes were red when she saw it next to her, she also wanted such a handsome man!

When they got home, Su Zhenbang and Mo Wenzhi were watching TV and chatting in the living room, and Zhang Qingyuan was busy with dinner in the kitchen with an apron.

Seeing that someone was preparing dinner, Qingli pulled Mo Yu to the backyard to deal with the mountain goods brought back, and the old man and they also came out to help.

When sorting out the mountain goods, the two old men told Qingli and Mo Yu a lot about their youth.

In the next few days, the village chief led everyone to sweep several nearby mountains and forests.

Qingli followed for two days and then didn't go.

The things picked are enough for her family to eat, and she doesn't expect these mountain goods to make money, so let's leave them to the villagers!

In the next few days, there were several big dustpans spread out at the door of every household in Lianhua Village, and the processed mushrooms and fungus were dried in the dustpans.

Except for some berries that have not been released, they are kept for their own consumption, and the rest are planned to be processed and handed over to Qingli to sell. (To be continued......)
