Twenty-Eighth: Picking the Fruit

Su Ran touched his nose and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea?" This guards a large treasure mountain, why did the sister-in-law who went to the town last time say that she hadn't eaten meat for a month? ”

"Fruits can also be sold for money, as well as medicinal herbs, big prey dare not be caught, this peripheral small prey can always be!"

When Su Ran said this, thinking of the time he was in the mountains, he turned around and clapped his hands again.

looked at Zhao Huarong with bright eyes, "Sister, let me tell you, I have seen a lot of mountain goods that can be sold for money in the deep mountains." This fruit alone, we can make it, preserved fruit, sherbet, or we can make fruit wine. ”

"And the mushroom, tsk...... That's a lot. ”

……

Su Ran said a lot of excitedly, and he didn't see Zhao Huarong's mother and son who were stunned at all.

After speaking, she suddenly snapped her fingers happily, "I'll go to the mountains tomorrow" She finally found a way to make money.

"Sister, what do you think?" Su Ran looked at Zhao Huarong, and saw that her mouth was slightly open, and she didn't respond, so she couldn't help but call again, "Sister~"

Zhao Huarong hadn't spoken yet, and He Jingfeng on the other side asked first: "Uncle, have you been to the deep mountains?" The crisp voice was full of surprise, and the voice was a little higher.

"Uh......" Su Ran blinked, she said so much about her feelings, he only heard the word Shenshan.

The little man also learned from her to blink his clear black eyes, pulled up her sleeves and shook them, "Isn't it?" Uncle. ”

"Ahh "Actually, there's nothing to say, after all, no one knows that she came from the side of Qingyang Town through the mountains."

But she wondered how the black donkey had managed to get to the cliff for two hours after being stabbed.

"Wow...... The people in the village say that the mountains are dangerous, and only hunters dare to go there! ”

Su Ran pinched the villain's face, looked at Zhao Huarong and asked, "Sister, what do you think of my suggestion just now?" ”

Zhao Huarong pursed his lips and was silent for a while, "You can't go to the deep mountains, but you can't go to the periphery." The fruit is so preserved that someone makes it to satisfy the cravings, and as for the wine-making ......," she shook her head, "This wine-making requires a secret recipe, and unprofessional people don't have that flavor when they make it." ”

"It is rumored that people eat people in the mountains, and some people have never been out of the mountains before, so the villagers only dare to be in the outermost forest. Hunters generally don't dare to get too close, and it is said that there are many wild beasts inside, and even snakes with large bowls thick have been seen. ”

Zhao Huarong glanced at Su Ran, "Your brother-in-law has been to the mountains once, and he has seen a big bowl of thick snakes. ”

Big bowls? Which kind of bowl? Is it bigger than Xiaoqing? Su Ran felt a little hairy in her heart, she was still afraid of snakes, except for Xiaoqing.

"Did my brother-in-law tell me what color it is?" Su Ran felt that it should not be Xiaoqing, the mountain where Xiaoqing was located at that time was quite far away from here.

Zhao Huarong shook his head, "If you really want to go, we'll go to the periphery tomorrow." Then he lowered his head again, and the needle and thread in his hand continued to work on the embroidered cloth.

Here in the capital!

"How?"

Xiao Molan sat in a gazebo in plain green clothes, his beautiful facial features were as cold as a fairy, and his black hair was draped behind his back like a waterfall, anyone who saw it would be amazed.

In front of him was a game of chess, with a black piece in his hand. The voice was as cold as a bubbling spring in the mountains and forests, and his eyes glanced indifferently at the man with a respectful face.

"There is no progress, and the eldest lady of the Su family seems to have disappeared out of thin air. After the subordinate of the person who escaped deliberately let her go after interrogation, the subordinate has been sending someone to monitor her, and she has not been found to have been in contact with suspicious people. ”

Xiao Molan picked up a white chess piece in his other hand and played a piece, and his face did not change from before.

He didn't speak, and he didn't even look at the man out of the corner of his eye.

But the man still couldn't help sweating a little on his forehead.

The man was depressed, the task given to him by his master for more than a month had not been able to find a missing person. Obviously, it seems that a very clumsy person set the fire, but no one else found out.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to speak, "The young man on a donkey we checked before didn't know where he was after being robbed, and the two robbers were still locked up, so I couldn't ask anything." ”

The man's head hung lower, he wanted to cry a little, he also felt that he had become incompetent.

Xiao Molan held a black chess piece in his right hand, and looked at the chessboard with a cold expression. Then the black pieces between the slender fingers fell on the board, and the situation on the board was immediately reversed.

The eyebrows in the corners of his eyes moved, and he squinted at the man, "Continue to investigate, and pass the news to the border gate." ”

"Yes," the man raised his head, "Does the master think that young man is Miss Su?" ”

Xiao Molan glanced at him, cool!

The man shrank his head, his face was full of inflow, but he thought in his heart that he must find some trouble for the culprit, such as the Liu family.

"The subordinates retired."

After the man left, the fairy man sitting in the pavilion continued to play the chess game on the chessboard alone.

The breeze blew, the curtain of the pavilion slowly floated up, and the people inside had a hazy feeling of the moon like jade.

Linshan Village!

Su Ran and the others got up early, and after breakfast, Su Ran and Zhao Huarong carried a basket on their backs, and walked to the mountains with He Jingfeng and Dahei.

The woods that Zhao Huarong brought Su Ran to was not the direction where Su Ran came out.

Rather, on the right is the hill closer to the village.

Zhao Huarong looked around left and right, "Here, let's be on the periphery!" ”

Then I was dumbfounded when I looked at the fruit that was a little tall on the tree, it was a sour plum tree. The trees were covered with emerald green orange plums, and she was able to pick them when they hung down from the branches.

This kind of plum is extremely sour, and few people pick it. Others, like peaches and crispy plums, are mostly picked by people.

Su Ran hugged Xiao Jingfeng, who was sitting on the back of the big black, and asked him to stay aside.

Putting down the basket, he easily stood on the trunk of the tree and shook the branches of the plum tree vigorously.

The plums on the trees are falling from the trees like rain. After a few plums fell from the tree, Su Ran jumped onto another tree and shook the plums off the tree in the same way.

For Zhao Huarong, the tree may be tall, but for Su Ran, this height is really not enough. Even some of the boys in the village are just trivial.

Su Ran is a person who has traveled through the mountains, and there are traces left by climbing in the mountains on her palms, and jumping and climbing trees is not a problem for her.

One company got the fruit from several nearby plum trees.

watched Zhao Huarong and Xiao Jingfeng pick up plums one by one into the basket under the tree. Su Ran looked at the fruit trees that no longer had fruit nearby.

Most of the fruit trees here are not concentrated, one in the east and one in the west. Except for these plum trees, there is no fruit tree in sight.

"Sister, I'll take a look over there." ordered Dahei to stay behind to protect the two mothers and sons.
