Chapter 59: The Boar Is Coming

The three of them each grabbed a pear and bit it, but there was not much juice, it was sour, astringent and hard, Zhou Cuimei wrinkled her face, and even said that it was not this pear tree, she must have found the wrong place.

Yu Xiaomin shouted: "The sour tooth is sour", stretched out his hand to Meng Tao, and asked Meng Tao to take down the kettle and let her take two mouthfuls and rinse her mouth.

Meng Tao gave her the kettle: "I haven't drunk it yet, don't put your mouth on it." ”

Yu Xiaomin said: "I know, I know! ”

Raising his neck and holding the mouth of the pot to pour it violently, he drank two sips and spilled a lot, all of which spilled into the grass under his feet.

Zhou Cuimei scolded her: "Slow down, okay? Splashing out so much, just for you to drink, no one else drinks? ”

After speaking, he snatched the kettle and poured two mouthfuls with his head up, and splashed a lot, while handing the kettle back to Meng Tao, he smacked his mouth and praised: "It's delicious!" Peach Blossom, your water is a mountain spring picked back from Xiling, right? ”

"yes." Meng Tao replied casually, thinking that this boiling water was mixed with space pine needle dewdrops, could it be delicious?

She searched for her memory, there is really a mountain spring in the west of the village, which comes out of the cracks in the mountain rocks, warm in winter and cold in summer, the water quality is pure and the taste is excellent, but it is too far away, and the people in the village will go to pick up the water and come back to eat it during the New Year's holidays.

Yu Xiaomin said: "What else seems to be in the boiling water?" A little drugged? ”

"What does it smell like? Put a few dried wild chrysanthemums. Meng Tao said.

"Can you drink wild chrysanthemums?"

"Of course you can drink it, you are a little right when you say that the taste of medicine is also a little bit, wild chrysanthemum is a kind of medicine, which can go to fire, nourish the liver, and brighten the eyes."

"Really? Oh, there are a lot of wild chrysanthemums on the mountain, I don't even know, so I'll pick some later...... What do I have to do to drink? ”

Yu Xiaomin asked for advice, Meng Tao told her the steps and precautions for making chrysanthemum tea, Zhou Cuimei smiled beside her: "Peach Blossom, did you teach your mother-in-law before?" The woman secretly learned to recognize herbs from the local doctor, and the result was half a bucket of water, which made the whole family ...... Don't follow her. ”

Yu Xiaomin pushed Zhou Cuimei: "What are you talking about?" Peach Blossom is not that kind of person. ”

"Didn't I remind Peach Blossom?"

Meng Tao: "......"

Depressed, she can make a chrysanthemum tea and get involved with Wang Shuifeng, it seems that she really can't let others know that she knows some herbs.

As she spoke, Meng Tao raised the kettle and poured two sips of water, and yesterday she also carried a pot of water, a few educated youths and two younger brothers in the village drank it with her, everyone was very careful one bite at a time, and did not spill it, today these two girls drank half and half of it, obviously they are all "loser girls", she doesn't drink it now, I'm afraid I won't have to drink it later.

After drinking the water and tightening the lid of the kettle, Meng Tao followed Zhou Cuimei and Yu Xiaomin to continue walking towards the depths of the forest, looking for the hawthorn.

The two girls are anxious, and they usually go up the mountain to cut grass and chop firewood, their bodies are strong and flexible, and they walk fast in the forest, while cutting the miscellaneous trees that are blocking the road with the firewood knife in their hands, Meng Tao deliberately takes a few steps behind, and from time to time he takes out a few herbs from the grass and puts them into the space.

Walking through a dirt pit covered by low thorn bushes, she casually glanced down, and then looked carefully and carefully, confirming that it was something in her memory, she was secretly happy, and was about to get in, but she heard Zhou Cuimei in front of her happily shouting: "Found it, found it!" Peach blossom? Peach blossoms, come quickly! ”

Meng Tao had to leave those medicinal plants for the time being, and rushed over first, it turned out that the two of them had found the hawthorn tree, there were three or four, red and bright fruits, and the bunches were hanging all over the tree very beautifully, picking one and tasting it, it was still sour, but the taste and texture were much better than the pear just now, at least it was not hard.

This is taken back to boil water, add some sugar, is a very good food tea, but also lower blood pressure, spleen and stomach, if you are patient, make hawthorn cake, peel dan, more delicious.

Zhou Cuimei took out a cloth bag from her pocket, and saw that Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin had nothing to pack, so she asked them to pick fruits with her and fill the cloth bag, and said that she would go back and make sugar gourds and send two skewers to each of them.

Yu Xiaomin has several younger siblings and nephews at home, and she also wants to get some back for the children to nibble and play, she didn't prepare a cloth bag, but she is better at hand, directly pulled a handful of thin vines and flexible weeds on the spot, sat on the ground and weaved a rough but very practical "net pocket" on the spot, looking to be able to hold a lot of fruits.

Meng Tao was responsible for climbing the tree, shaking the branches and shaking the fruits, Zhou Cuimei and Yu Xiaomin were busy picking up below, and soon filled the bags and "net pockets", Meng Tao took advantage of them to pick up the fruits on the tree, and she even folded a lot into the space, she had drunk hawthorn apple tea before, it tasted good, and she could also cook and drink it if she had time to drink it.

When she walked back, Meng Tao was still thinking about the things under the thorn bush, it seemed that there were a lot of them, if Zhou Cuimei and Yu Xiaomin saw it, Zhou Cuimei would say that she would say it again, and soon these people on the mountain and the people in the village all knew that Meng Taohua did know herbal medicine, and she learned it from Tian Shuifeng, she didn't want people to have such a cognition, so she decided not to say anything, anyway, she would have to go up the mountain for a few days, and it would be convenient for her to come and take it away one day.

Zhou Cuimei was still thinking about the pear just now, she discussed with Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin: "Let's pick some pears and go back, the raw ones are not delicious, and they taste really good when they are cooked, so I won't lie to you." ”

Yu Xiaomin didn't squeak, and probably felt that it was feasible.

Meng Tao objected: "Let's pick it again tomorrow, you will have to carry wood later, these two bags of things are enough for you to take." ”

Zhou Cuimei said: "We tie the bag to the wood, just like picking something, it is not difficult to hold. ”

"There's no bag left."

"Xiao Rong can weave rattan nets, just make two more."

Meng Tao had nothing to say, thinking that as long as Captain Bao Shunfeng didn't urge him to go down the mountain, it didn't matter, just pick it.

When the three girls approached the pear tree and saw clearly a black animal eating grass under the pear tree, they suddenly changed color with fright, where could Zhou Cuimei care about picking mountain pears? Even the hawthorn bag was thrown directly, and he turned around and ran, screaming loudly: "There are wild boars, run!" Help me! Help me! ”

Yu Xiaomin shouted: "The wild boar is coming!" The wild boar is coming! Help me! ”

Meng Tao: "......"

She couldn't stop these two people, so she could only control herself from shouting and screaming, and slowly retreated.

Under the pear tree was indeed a large wild boar, with yellow fangs, and the turf under the pear tree was arched in a mess by it, and the weed roots emerged, and it was concentrating on gnawing on the grass roots and leaves, and when it heard the scream, it suddenly turned its head to this side, and snorted its nose, which was particularly fierce and terrible.

What's worse is that Yu Xiaomin actually grabbed a dead branch and threw it at the wild boar, trying to drive the wild boar away!

This successfully angered the boar, and the beast rushed towards it!

Meng Tao was dumbfounded for a second, and immediately shouted loudly to Yu Xiaomin to hide behind the trunk of the tree, and he hurriedly found a tree next to him, and at the same time raised the firewood knife to aim at the wild boar's head, and when it rushed five or six meters away, he gritted his teeth and threw the firewood knife hard!

Not bad! Her firewood knife is not bent, and in the past two days, Xu Guoliang, who has sharpened the knife maniac, has sharpened it enough, and her strength and the momentum of the wild boar have made the blade go straight into the boar's head, and it has not entered most of it!

The wild boar's momentum is unabated, fortunately this guy is stupid enough not to turn around, running in a straight line, Meng Tao dodged behind the trunk, and when it rushed past him, he immediately jumped to Yu Xiaomin behind another tree, snatched her firewood knife, turned around and prepared to throw another knife at the wild boar, who knew that the wild boar would never look back - it used too much force, and directly pounced on a ridge, and there was no movement!

Where did Meng Tao dare to run to see how the wild boar was doing, and hurriedly ran away hand in hand with Yu Xiaomin, ignoring Zhou Cuimei very unrighteously.

However, Zhou Cuimei was also strange, she was screaming just now, but at this time, she was silent, I don't know where she ran.

Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin ran out of more than ten meters, and met a group of men who hurriedly rushed over, all holding firewood knives and wooden sticks, and Bao Shunfeng asked loudly where the wild boar was?

Yu Xiaomin was panting and crying, unable to speak, Meng Tao swallowed his saliva and pointed to the forest below: "Where is it...... A wild boar, I threw a hatchet at it, and now ...... I don't know ......."

The men probably understood, and no longer cared about the two of them, and Bao Shunfeng led the way towards the forest together.

After waiting for a while, first the men's shouts were heard, followed by the shrill howls of the wild boars, and soon the boar's cries disappeared, and the men cheered continuously, mixed with a woman's scream:

"Wild boar! Help me! The wild boar is coming, help! ”

This is Zhou Cuimei's voice, the men laughed, and some shouted, "Save your head?" Wake up and take a good look, the boar is dead! ”

Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin glanced at each other and ran down, Xu Guoliang, Sun Yutang, and Qian Liang came up and shouted happily at Meng Tao: "Peach blossom!" The boar struck you and hit the stake...... Now dead! ”

"Peach Blossom, you're a heroine!"

The rest of the people also looked at Meng Tao with admiration, and Lin Erhu, a strong man in the village who is usually proud of his strength, raised his thumbs: "Peach Blossom, you are this!" I Lin Erhu admires! ”

Bao Shunfeng was also very happy, but he still taught a lesson: "This time it was a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and there happened to be a stupid wild boar who had never seen the world, if you met that kind of powerful one, you could still run?" They all said that they were not allowed to leave the team, but they didn't listen, and if they were unlucky, they would be dead, you know? Let's see if you dare next time! ”

Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin lowered their heads to listen to the training, Zhou Cuimei was still crying one after another, Bao Shunfeng waved his hand impatiently, and asked Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin to go over and take a look: "She may have fainted from fright just now, and she woke up in the middle of pinching, you two go and ask her what else is wrong?" ”

Meng Tao and Yu Xiaomin went to see Zhou Cuimei, it turned out that she was also like a wild boar, she ran fiercely, rolled down the ridge with somersaults, and even fainted with fright.

At this time, I was so scared that I cried, and there was nothing wrong with it.
