Mountain

After the rain, the sky was clear, and the body was refreshing, Yang Liu sat on the kang and stretched lazily.

"Lady, I'm going up the mountain today to see if I have caught any prey." Li Cong said while getting dressed. Because of the rain, I haven't been to the mountains for a few days to see it, and I don't know if I have caught prey. Some prey is large, and if you don't see it in time, it is very likely to break free and escape.

"Will you come back in the evening?" Yang Liu thought that Orion seemed to not be home for a few days, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely." Li Cong got dressed and looked at Yang Liu's slow coat: "It's going to be harvested in the summer, and the land will start to be vacated, so you can't go for too long." Dig a few traps first, and wait a few days before going. He didn't know why, the lady just woke up and had to sit on the bed for a while before getting up, and she was slow to get dressed, saying that it was good for her health. He woke up and turned over, and he didn't see any problems, Li Cong attributed this kind of illness to the squeamishness of the people in the town.

"Oh." Yang Liu replied, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "If I go too, can my mother agree?" "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, where there are mountains, isn't it all about going up to the mountains to hunt for treasures or something, what if she also fishes for thousands of years of ginseng or something?

I didn't wake up from sleepiness, and I dreamed in broad daylight.

"Lady, don't go, the mountain road is not easy to walk." Li Cong kindly built yì. I want to live in a big yard and walk on flat ground, can the mountain road be the same? I'm afraid that her feet will be blistered when she comes back, and she will pout again.

"I haven't been anywhere here, it's all on my doorstep, I'm just looking." Yang Liu has made up her mind, she has been here for so long, except for picking up two handfuls of vegetable leaves or washing clothes to go around the tunzi, she is simply staying at home every day, and she is going to get moldy. She has to go out today, not to mention that she is not on duty today. Most importantly, she wants to make money!

"Okay, then I'll go and get ready." Li Cong said, and seriously instructed Yang Liu: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, you wear a pair of thick-soled shoes." ”

Yang Liu was putting on his shoes, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words and said, "Got it, you can go." ”

Naturally, it was inevitable that Yang Liu would turn a deaf ear to what he said about dragging his feet and the like. If Yu didn't say a few words to herself a day, her whole body would be uncomfortable. She thinks there is a mosquito in her ear, buzzing in her ear, and then she will fly by.

I didn't see anyone going up the mountain empty-handed, so Yang Liu carried a small back basket with a sickle in it, even if he didn't catch anything, he could bring a few handfuls of wild boar grass. Yu said with a smile: "I said brother and sister, you are also an adult, what does it look like to carry the basket carried by this little child up the mountain?" ”

Yang Liu looked at the so-called back basket of the adult's back, the square wide bottom, and the same weaving method as the basket of vegetables, but the eaves are thigh-high, and the back is made of straw. Yang Liu didn't hit the swollen face and became fat, and shook his head: "I can't carry it." ”

She's just a good woman in thought, and you don't know the porridge you cooked this morning, and she doesn't want to pick up the mountain.

The mocking smile on Yu's face was even stronger, and just as he was about to take a few more steps, Yang Liu grabbed Li Cong's hand and walked outside the courtyard gate. It's all ready, there's no reason to stand and listen to people's ridicule.

Now is the season of snakes, Li Cong stuffed a wooden stick into Yang Liu's hand, and told her to beat in the grass before moving forward. As soon as he heard the snake, the cold hairs of the willow stood up, and he immediately stared nervously ahead, and the stick beat a few times in the grass before he dared to take a step. She was most afraid of these cartilaginous animals, snakes, eels, earthworms, and she got goosebumps all over her body at the thought of the names of these animals.

Seeing that Yang Liu looked like he was facing a great enemy, Li Cong hooked the corners of his mouth. He has been running in the mountains since he was a child, hunting, and is very good at catching snakes. This can not only add a piece of income to the family, but also the snake is very delicious. Thinking of the smell that he and his second uncle had brought out when they wrapped the snake on the bamboo and roasted it over the fire, Li Cong immediately paid attention to the grass, wishing that an unlucky snake would come out now for him to taste the taste.

"Don't worry, I'm a snake catcher."

"The snake can't tell if you're a master or not, if it knew, it would have hidden. If you bite, it won't care who you are, and it will bite as well. "Willow is not relaxed,

Walking down at this speed, I don't know if I can catch the prey or not, but I don't know if I can go to the destination along the way. Li Cong took the stick from Yang Liu's hand with one hand and held Yang Liu's hand with the other: "I'll come." ”

With Li Cong opening the way in front, the speed of the two increased sharply. Li Cong is familiar with this mountain, he is playing the grass while letting the willows pay attention to the feet, where there are traps, where there are small ditches, he knows it clearly. Yang Liu's mouth responded, but her eyes were looking around, such a big mountain would never let her go back empty-handed.

Seeing an apricot tree in the distance that is not yet fully ripe, the willow can't take a step. Li Cong glanced at Yang Liu in surprise, then followed her line of sight, and shook his head: "Lady, that's sour." Although he bore a lot of fruit, he tasted it, and it was all sour.

"I'll do it too, too." Yang Liu doesn't care, ask Li Cong to pick it, although she is wearing light clothes today, she can't climb trees. What can apricots be made of, preserved fruits, almonds, it seems that there are a lot of them, the acid is sour, but there should be no problem with apples.

Li Cong didn't understand a little, he told the willow that the apricot was sour, and she was still staring at the apricot with bright eyes. Is it a gluttonous fruit? Li Cong thought about it carefully, and the family really hadn't bought fruit once.

The lady was really wronged.

"Wait."

Thinking that Yang Liu had changed his mind, Li Cong immediately turned back, he had already made up his mind to bring two catties of fruit back when he went to the town this time, and it was okay not to eat this sour apricot. I saw Yang Liu take out two palm-shaped linen cloths and hand them to him and let him put them on. Li Cong wondered what was the use of the palm-shaped pockets sewn from these two pieces of cloth, and the knots, could it be a new version of the purse? When he looked up, he saw that Yang Liu had already taken another pair and put it on her own hand, and shook her fist with satisfaction.

It turned out that this was the case, Li Cong was a little ignorant and put it on his hand, and suddenly understood the reason why Yang Liu painted him with a hand shape last time. It turned out to be for him, Li Cong smiled a little from ear to ear.

"What are you smiling at, go pick it up." Yang Liu stabbed him with his elbow.

This time Li Cong went without hesitation, he tucked the corner of his robe to his belt, rubbed it a few times and went up the tree, picked the big one, picked it and threw it into the grass on the ground, trying not to touch the apricots.

It wasn't until the willow shouted in satisfaction under the tree that enough was enough, that Li Cong came down. Helping her put away the apricots, Li Cong remembered his purpose for going up the mountain and asked Yang Liu to wait for him here.

Yang Liu waved his hand casually and asked him to go, she was now full of thoughts about how to turn apricots into money, how could she have time to pay attention to these. This is still the foot of the mountain, there are no large beasts, Li Cong saw that he didn't stay long, turned around and walked deeper.

When the joy had passed, Willow gathered the apricots into the basket and walked around the apricot tree with the stick. I didn't expect to find it, and I actually found a lot of black fungus on a piece of rotten wood. Willow happily plucked it. Yo, isn't this a folded ear root? I don't know if I don't go out, it turns out that the roots of the folded ears are so long.

Because he was worried about Yang Liu, Li Cong didn't dare to delay too much, checked the trap, and caught two injured pheasants and three hares. When I came back, I saw Yang Liu holding a handful of grass like picking up a treasure, smirking and closing her mouth, and even took it to her mouth and tasted it. Thinking of the incident with the bath bucket, Li Cong felt a little embarrassed, should he tell Sù Niangzi that this grass was fed to pigs?
