The mountains and forests are dense, the morning mist is filled, and the roars of wild beasts are heard in the deep mountains in the distance, and the whole mountain forest seems deep and awe-inspiring. Similarly, the mountains and forests are generous, with all kinds of fungi thriving among the rotting leaves at the bottom of the trees, wild fruits and unknown flowers and plants.

After walking for about a stick of incense in the mountains and forests, Zhu Shouyi gradually slowed down, carefully inspected the ground around him, and then motioned to Zhu Ping'an and the two to stand there and not move. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Shouyi put down the basket behind him, gently put it in the grass on the side, and then took out some ropes from it.

"This kind of footprint is the footprints of the hare, the hare likes to go straight, and it will jump up to a certain height in the run, so it should be put higher when the next set, and the surrounding environment should not be destroyed, and the original state should be restored, otherwise the hare will not be on the set......" Zhu Shouyi explained to his two sons how to set the hare while laying the trap "The hare that runs fast will not pay attention to this 'trap', once it rushes into the trap, the hare has no chance to exit." ”

Zhu Ping'an noticed that his father's sets were very simple, they were all made of materials that could be seen at hand, wooden sticks, branches and ropes, and the ropes were made into two sets. A set is used to catch a hare, and after the hare gets into the cover, it will struggle desperately, and it will be pulled tighter and tighter! How did this snare not strangle the hares and catch the live ones? The secret is in the second cover, the small "cover" at the end of the end. In the end, it was blocked by this "set", and a new small circle was formed, and this new small circle saved the hare's life, and the hare would not be strangled.

After getting off the three sets, Zhu's father led his two sons to bypass and change the road, and if they were lucky, they would be able to see the fat rabbit when they came down the mountain.

Slowly, the group of three people gradually gained something: two pheasants, which were caught by Zhu's father when he found a pheasant nest and put a coat on the outside of the chicken nest; Five big carp weighing two or three catties, which were caught in a mountain stream, the stream was very shallow, and a piece of water was blocked with stones, and there were many fish in it, which was still caught by picking up heavy weights, otherwise it could catch more than ten; Mountain mushrooms and fungus were also picked about ten catties.

When passing by a bamboo forest, Zhu Ping'an thought of the bamboo shoots mentioned in China on the tip of his tongue, so he yelled to eat bamboo shoots.

Finding bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest is also a technical job, and it is necessary to have the technique of "finding gold across the soil". The bamboo leaves are thick green with yellow spots for the pregnant bamboo shoot bamboo, and the bamboo shoots can be obtained by digging in the cracks of the topsoil around it. Zhu's father happens to be one of the masters, Zhu's father divides the bamboo shoots into the so-called "male" and "female", if the first section of mature bamboo shoots is branched into pairs and grows symmetrically, it is the mother bamboo, and there must be bamboo shoots around it; If the first section is a single branch, it is a male bamboo, and there are no bamboo shoots. After finding the pregnant bamboo shoots, you should carefully observe the direction of the top tip of the mother bamboo drooping, and the place where the dew drops on the bamboo tip is the place where the bamboo shoot grows. In addition, there is a main bamboo whip in the lower part of each bamboo, and the direction of this bamboo whip is parallel to the plane composed of the first symmetrical bamboo branches, and the bamboo shoots are always born in the direction of the bamboo whip.

I dug up almost ** bamboo shoots, all of which were short and thick, each of which was more than 20 centimeters, and they were all tender and tender when I was just right to eat.

At noon, I ate in the mountains, picked some wild fruits, caught three slightly larger fish in the mountain stream and roasted them on a fire, as well as the dry food brought by the family, especially the father even found a gourd, cut it open and made a fish soup with the stream water, and the father's basket is like a jingle cat's pocket, and the salt is there.

With a mouthful of oil and a bulging stomach, Zhu Ping'an felt that this meal was the fullest and best meal he had eaten since he came to the Ming Dynasty, and it was a hundred times better than what he ate at home.

After eating, after a little rest, I started looking for good things in the mountains again.

The small animals in the mountain are very alert, probably scared by the hunters, and they all seem to have become essences, and the slightest movement has disappeared without a trace. At this time, Zhu Ping'an missed the stupid roe deer in that era where his father went in the distant era, if only one was here, he would definitely be able to easily get it.

It's a pity that this is the area of Hubei in Anhui Province, and there are no stupid roe deer. Although there was no stupid roe deer, Zhu Ping'an still found a good thing, and there were large white and golden flowers blooming under the tree over there.

It turned out to be honeysuckle, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over.

"Hello, don't run around." Father Zhu hurriedly followed.

Zhu Ping'an ran to the honeysuckle and carefully confirmed, this piece of flowers is rod-shaped, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, slightly curved, yellowish-white or greenish-white on the surface, densely pubescent. Occasionally, leaf-like bracts are indeed honeysuckles described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Honeysuckle can be said to be the easiest Chinese medicine to concoct, and it can be used by sun exposure and shade drying. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": bitterness, coldness, good and clear the poison and evil on the skin surface.

Picking these honeysuckles and taking them home to dry and sell them to pharmacies may be a good way to make money.

Zhu Ping'an made a mark nearby, if he could sell it for money this time, he could come directly to pick it in the future.

There are a lot of honeysuckles here, so Zhu Ping'an picks the best ones and only picks flower buds. The best honeysuckle, the flower buds are in the shape of a hold, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, slightly curved, the surface is greenish-white, the corolla is thick and slightly hard, and the open flowers, cracked buds and yellow stripes are not more than 5%.

When Zhu's father chased after him uneasily, Zhu Ping'an was pouting his ass and picking tweeds vigorously, not to mention how happy he was.

Picking flowers?

The corners of Zhu's father's eyes twitched a little, his little son can't be a prodigal son who mixes in the female crowd, right?!

"What are you picking flowers for? Let's go, Daddy will take you to pick fruit to eat! "Zhu's father feels that he has the obligation to correct his son's bad bud.

Zhu Ping'an glanced up at Zhu's father, shook his head, and continued to pick.

"The fruit is very sweet and delicious." Father Zhu continued to work hard.

"This can be sold for money." Zhu Ping'an muttered while picking flowers.

Father Zhu pouted, what kind of money can this wildflower be sold for, there are wildflowers and weeds everywhere in the mountains, I didn't see the one who sold for money! patiently told his son, "People in the city buy flowers and buy peonies, good flowers like Yueji, not this kind of flowers, this kind of flowers are fed to pigs, and pigs don't eat them!" ”

Feed pigs and pigs don't eat?

See, that's why the village is poor jingle!

Can you sell it for money, it's not about using pigs as referees!

"Brother, I'll help you." Zhu Pingchuan felt sorry for his younger brother, put down the basket, and helped pick flowers.

What he thinks is very simple, what his brother wants, his brother will get.

"Then you can only pick this kind of flower." Zhu Ping'an took out a standard high-grade honeysuckle and showed it to Zhu Pingchuan.

"Hmm." The simple and honest eldest brother nodded and helped pick honeysuckle
