Chapter 19: Mountain Walk
"Uncle Xiao Hao, Uncle Xiao Hao, look, this is the old flat shoulder I grabbed behind your yard, look at how big it is, how long is it" The hairy child ran to Liu Junhao, who was dozing under the tree, as if inviting merit, and handed over the green grasshopper in his hand.
"Well, it's so big, let's feed the turtle, this thing is not enough to stuff the teeth" Liu Junhao said impatiently, this bear child almost has to go every day, either digging birds in his yard, or catching crickets in the grass, making a fuss, and pulling his mother back with his ears at every meal time.
Since the rainstorm, the water from the Huotou Pond has spread everywhere in the yard, and the vegetable field has also saved Liu Junhao from watering.
But before he had time to get excited, the grass in his backyard also grew like a fertilizer, and even those crickets, grasshoppers and other insects were all big, and a green worm fell from the poplar tree a few days ago, as thick as a little thumb, and he was stunned when he saw it.
But in this way, there are more birds in the tree with Liu Junhao's house, and the gray maza, white-headed small and other birds are making a fuss, chirping in the trees early in the morning.
Looking at the barren grass all over the yard, he also had a headache, wondering if this was to raise a sheep, so that he would save himself a lot of trouble.
Just do it, it happened that there was a half-sized lamb in the village to sell, so Liu Junhao paid 200 yuan to buy one, and then threw it in the backyard, let Xiaopi watch it, and don't let it run to the front yard to eat vegetables.
Even with a few half-sized rabbits also sprinkled out, this little thing just opened its eyes and saw people, plus the hairy children they often dragged grass to feed, so they were not too afraid of people, after they were released, they have been scurrying around in the yard.
Xiaopi didn't know if it was because he ate the vegetables nourished by the spring water or how, he was getting smarter and smarter, and he could understand his intentions in many things.
The yellow eels in the spring water are getting bigger and bigger, and even began to give birth to a lot of small yellow eels, before these small yellow eels grow up, other yellow eels have bitten them to death a lot, he knows that this is the phenomenon of yellow eels biting each other and eating in the absence of food, which makes Liu Junhao feel distressed.
The range of the spring was so large, and there were more and more yellow eels, so it was not a way to go on like this, so he had no choice but to dig a few long ditches in the yard, fish out all the larger ones, and throw them into the pool.
This group of yellow eels nourished by the spring water seems to be very aggressive, and it is common to see the eels leaping half a foot high and swallowing the green worms on the hemp leaves.
In order to raise these yellow eels well, he also went to the bookstore in the town to order a few books on raising yellow eels and pondered them carefully.
Others are busy cutting wheat and threshing wheat these days, but he seems bored, so he simply led Xiaopi to the mountains to wander, when he went out, he happened to meet the hairy child and a few ordinary children crazy on the river embankment, as soon as he heard that he was going into the mountain, they all came to be interested, and followed Liu Junhao with a dead face.
This is the time of year when the mountains are at their busiest time, when all kinds of trees are growing luxuriantly and wild vines are obscuring the sky.
This group of bear children has not been quiet since the moment they entered the mountain, and they kept picking some eggplants on the slopes of the fields to eat, this thing is a common wild fruit in Daqingshan, the taste is average, Liu Junhao also often ate it when he was a child, and his mouth was dyed purple and purple red.
There are many wild fruits in the mountains, and there are many things that can be eaten, such as wild chestnuts, wild grapes, wild pears, wild persimmons, wild cherries, and so on.
You can eat most of the wild fruits in the mountains, but it's best not to touch unfamiliar things, and many of them are poisonous.
However, these bear children all grew up in the mountains, and they are familiar with what they can eat and what they can't eat.
I hadn't walked far enough when I saw the furry child in front of me yelling, "Rabbit! Then the group of bear children rushed out, and Liu Junhao was afraid that something would happen to them, so he hurriedly followed.
This group of bear children saw the rabbit vigor is bigger, he can't catch up with a smoke behind him, until he ran to a valley, everyone stopped, I don't know who shouted: "mountain grapes" Liu Junhao looked up at the valley in this large area of mountain grapes, this valley is very inconspicuous, he is the first time to arrive, I didn't expect such a large piece of mountain grapes inside.
It was the first time I had seen such a large field of mountain grapes, and a few big trees were densely climbed, and the bunches were hung with hoarfrost, shiny, and before he could do anything, the group of bear children had already swarmed up.
In summer and autumn, the mountain grapes are ripe and the water is particularly sweet. Especially those early-ripening purple grapes, each one is large and round, looking at it from a distance, like a bunch of purple agate. Rural people generally praise girls for their beautiful eyes, and they say that they are like mountain grapes.
Liu Junhao also came to be interested, picked a few grapes to taste, sweet and sour, even sweeter than ordinary mountain grapes, seeing that this group of bear children did not pay attention, he secretly carried a few people, neatly dragged down those purple mountain grapes one by one, and then put them into the stone lock, he was ready to take them back to make wine and drink.
Mountain grapes have high nutritional value, can help digestion, prevent constipation, eat more grapes, drink grape juice and drink wine in moderation is very good for human health, rural women here generally eat mountain grapes before and after childbirth, it is said that the blood returns quickly, but also nourishing.
As soon as I picked a dozen or so strings, I heard the hairy boy scolding, who was beating me.
"Oh, who's hitting me on the head!" A group of children kept yelling, and at this time Xiaopi also screamed.
Liu Junhao looked up, it turned out to be a group of monkeys squatting on the branches, constantly smashing down with pine towers, seeing the little skin can't stop barking, they are also squeaking on the top, as if saying that this is their territory, and mountain grapes are their treasure.
The movements in the hands of this group of monkeys were really unambiguous, and they kept dragging the fist-sized pine tower and threw it vigorously at the people's heads, beating a few bear children with their heads and rats.
Little Skin stared at the bottom and screamed, but it couldn't climb trees, so it was really powerless.
Liu Junhao was careless, and he was also hit by a pine tower on his head, and the fist-sized pine tower was on his head, and he was also annoyed, screamed, grabbed a large stone and threw it at the tree, and the group of bear children also reacted and threw stones on the tree.
The strength of people is much greater than that of monkeys, the group of monkeys squeaked and screamed, kept dodging higher, and then continued to throw pine towers at their heads, and the group of bear children smashed had no way at all, until they left the mountain grapes, the group of monkeys did not stop, which made Liu Junhao very depressed, but there was nothing to be done.
At this time, suddenly Little Pi screamed again, pulled his trouser leg and dragged him under a big tree, and then screamed even more happily.
What's in this tree? Liu Junhao was puzzled, and looked at it, a worm-eyed wrapping tree that one person can barely hug, except for the height of the tree, he can't see anything abnormal, I don't know what Xiaopi is called.
Insect eye bag tree is a unique kind of tree here, in autumn the tree will bear a grain of black packets, soft, the inside is empty, peel off the skin often see a lot of rice worms in the inside, so it is called the insect eye package tree, this kind of tree has no effect except for burning fire, rural people generally do not bother to pay attention to it when they enter the mountain.
But Little Skin still screamed happily, and kept scratching at the trunk with his paws.
Could it be that there is something wrong with this trunk? Liu Junhao knocked suspiciously, and it made a noise, and it seemed that the trunk was empty.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of bark.
Suddenly, a mellow fragrance came to his nose, only to see the dark red liquid flowing in the tree hole, what is this, he suddenly became interested, and couldn't help but wipe a little with his finger on his mouth.
Wine? To his surprise, it turned out to be wine, and he drank it with a little in his hand. The taste is very creamy, and it feels like it is sliding down the throat, and it has a little hawthorn flavor, which is very refreshing.
This...... Wouldn't this be the legendary monkey bar?
