12. There is a lot of fun in the mountains
The mountains and forests around Unwaso are dominated by pine and cedar trees, and the mountains are gentle and easy to climb.
In late autumn, the insects and snakes on the mountain are hiding to prepare for the winter, and they will no longer haunt, and there is not much danger for children to go up the mountain.
"Xiao Chen, let's pick up pine hairs on this mountain, there are a lot of pine hairs here." Walking up a hill, Lin Axia looked at a pine forest not far in front of her and said.
Lin Zichen looked at the rest of the mountain, nodded and said, "Well, it's right here." Let's all spread out a little bit and don't get too far away. ”
"Okay." Lin Axia and Lin Zixi responded in unison.
The three men put the snakeskin bag in the clearing, each with an iron rake, and began to loosen the hair.
Pine hair is the leaf of the pine tree, which falls layer by layer on the ground, and is particularly soft to step on, but because the surface of the pine hair has pine oil, it will be very slippery when you step on it, and if you are not careful, you will fall because of the slippery foot.
Rural children often walk on the mountains, and they have experience in how to walk on the pine hair without falling, that is, take a small wooden stick to pick off the pine hair, so that they will not fall.
Lin Zichen and a few people came to pick up the loose hair, and the iron rake in his hand was the best tool to clean up the pine hair.
Brushing loose hair without saying a word is really not in line with the lively temperament of rural people when they work. So Lin Axia waved her hand and shouted to Lin Zichen who was not far away: "Xiao Chen, or let's come to the game." ”
"Yes!"
There are no rules in the loose hair competition, and whoever masturbates the fastest and the most is the winner.
But this kind of competition is completely entertaining and more meaningful, because no one really cares about how much loose hair is petted.
Lin Zixi on the other side heard that Lin Zichen and Lin Axia were going to have a match, and he was not to be outdone, and couldn't help but speed up the movements in his hands.
It's a pity that Lin Zixi, who is only seven years old, is not only not very tall, but also not very strong, holding an iron rake, just like holding a long bamboo penny, no matter how easy it is.
It's late autumn, but it's still hot when I'm working. Lin Zixi was determined not to lose to Lin Zichen and Lin Axia, and the range of movements in his hands was so large that he was sweating profusely after a while.
"Whew, it's so hot!" Lin Zixi waved his palms to fan himself, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks into his neck, sticky and uncomfortable.
Lin Zichen saw that Lin Zixi looked a little wolf, and laughed without scruples, "Who made you work so hard, now you know it's hot." ”
Although Lin Zichen said so, he still felt sorry for his stupid brother in his heart. Sending water to Lin Zixi, Lin Zichen took out a small handkerchief from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lin Zixi, "Drink saliva and wipe your sweat." ”
Lin Zixi took the water bottle, took a big sip of water, and then took the handkerchief in Lin Zichen's hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
Lin Zichen mixed the spiritual water in the space into the kettle, Lin Zixi was already thirsty, and felt that the water was extremely sweet, so he drank most of it in one go, and didn't stop until he was full.
Fortunately, Lin Zichen didn't have a lot of spiritual water, otherwise something surprising might happen.
"Ah Xia, let's rest for a while." Lin Zichen saw that Lin Zixi's anger had also eased, and turned around and shouted to Lin Axia, who was still struggling to loosen her hair.
"Great!" Lin Axia was indeed a little tired, put down the iron rake in her hand, and walked towards the place where Lin Zichen was sitting.
said that he was resting, but Lin Zixi couldn't be idle, and walked alone in the nearby bushes. The effect of the spiritual water is still very significant, and Lin Zixi, who was still tired like a dog just now, suddenly regained the strength of his whole body and flexibly drilled around in the bushes.
"Wow, sister, look, it's such a big string of 'fire burning carbon'!" Looking at the bunch of wild fruits in front of him, Lin Zixi shouted excitedly.
"Where, where, where? Let me see. Compared with Lin Zichen's calmness, Lin Axia had already jumped to Lin Zixi's location, "Wow, it's really a big string!" Xiaoxi, you stand here, I'll pick it for you. ”
"Hmm." Lin Zixi stood in place, watching Lin Axia open a path with her bare hands and pick the bunch of wild fruits back.
"Here it is for you." Lin Axia gave all the wild fruits to Lin Zixi.
Lin Zixi didn't eat alone, he gave more than half to Lin Axia, and he took the remaining half of his farts back to Lin Zichen and sat down.
"Sister, here you go, you can taste it." Lin Zixi took off a 'fire charcoal' and sent it to Lin Zichen's mouth as if offering a treasure.
Lin Zichen took a bite and chewed it gently, well, it was very sweet!
'Fire Burning Carbon' is a kind of wild fruit unique to Yunhezhuang Mountain, because it grows black and does not slip away, like the carbon that has been burned by fire, so the local people call it 'Fire Burning Carbon' vividly.
The charcoal is not big, round, a bit like a particle, and the edible part is a thin layer of flesh, a little sweet, and the juice is not very much, but it is one of the favorite wild fruits of most children in the countryside. For no other reason, because there is no other snack, these wild fruits given by nature have become the sweetest snacks in the childhood of rural children.
Seeing Lin Zichen finish eating a small handful of 'fire charcoal', Lin Zixi happily threw a handful into his mouth and chewed it happily.
After a short break, the three of them continued to loosen their hair. The pine hairs on this hill have not been picked up by others, and the pine hairs on the ground are very thick, and the three of them quickly piled up several large piles.
"Xiaoxi, take a snakeskin bag and pack the pine hair first, and then get it if it's not enough." Lin Zichen looked at the already piles of pine hair, so that Lin Zixi didn't have to get any more.
Lin Axia has also started to pack the bag, the pine hair does not weigh much, stuffed with a snakeskin bag, Lin Axia stepped on the pine hair with her feet, and then loaded it, until she couldn't step on it anymore, she tied the bag tightly with a rope.
"Xiao Chen, why did you bring so many snakeskin bags?" After getting her two bags of pine hair, Lin Axia saw that Lin Zichen actually brought six snakeskin bags.
"The loose hair is not very heavy, and it should be no problem for me to pick up four bags by myself."
When Lin Axia heard this, she frowned, "However, if you carry four bags, it's not easy to go down the mountain!" ”
When Lin Zichen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who said I was going down the mountain with it." ”
"If you don't carry it down, how are you going to go down?" Lin Axia didn't know why. Lin Zixi also looked at Lin Zichen with a curious expression.
Lin Zichen pointed to the bushes not far away and said, "Did you see a trail over there when you went up the mountain?" ”
"I see, but the trail is so steep, how can you leave?" Lin Axia frowned.
"I'm not going to go." Lin Zichen continued to sell Guanzi.
Lin Axia was hung up on her appetite, "Oh, you don't want to sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell me how you plan to go down the mountain." ”
Lin Zichen also had enough, tied the mouths of the six snakeskin bags, and dragged the two bags of loose hair with both hands to the path not far away.
Seeing this, Lin Axia and Lin Zixi didn't know what Lin Zichen was going to do, so they still dragged their pine hair over there.
The three of them came to the edge of the steep trail, Lin Zichen let go of the two bags of pine hair in his hand, and then put a bag of pine hair on the edge of the path, and with a gentle push of his hand, a bag of pine hair rolled down the mountain with a gurgling sound, seeing Lin Axia and Lin Zixi dumbfounded.
"It's amazing." Lin Zixi exclaimed, and then rolled the two bags of pine hair in his hand down the mountain with great interest.
"This method is too labor-saving, and the next time I come here to loosen my hair, I will also bring two more snakeskin bags." Looking at the bags of pine hair that had already gone down the mountain, Lin Axia clapped her hands proudly.
