Chapter 101: Into the Mountain
Jiang Nuan was very supportive of the sons' decision, and after giving them the broken silver for collecting cabbage, he casually explained that he would not go home at noon and leave directly.
When I got out of the village, I took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and immediately wrapped myself tightly. Then, with a basket on his back, he took the knife used to chop wood and went straight to the back mountain.
The back mountain of Huangjiakou, the first few are particularly short, only more than 100 meters high, mainly used to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables, there is no danger, the higher the back, the wild things inside will increase, especially dangerous.
Even if there is space, Jiang Nuan doesn't feel that she has the ability to go to the mountains, she just wants to go to a slightly deeper place to have a look.
On the way, I occasionally met a woman with a bamboo basket wrapped in a headscarf, and when people saw her from a distance, they immediately retreated, not worrying about how to explain why they went up the mountain.
Although it saved a lot of trouble, my heart was very blocked.
It's still a bit cold in February. On the mountain, the green that can be seen everywhere indicates the vitality of spring.
Climb step by step, rest for a while when you are tired, and go deeper before you know it.
"Strange," Jiang Nuan muttered in a low voice, "there are no roe deer, no wild boars, why are there no rabbits and chickens?" Where have they gone? ”
As he spoke, a sound came from the side.
Jiang Nuan waved the firewood knife and quietly followed the sound of the cat, and saw the pheasant flapping its wings.
Seeing this, he didn't want to think about it, so Jiang Nuan threw the firewood knife in his hand over.
With a bang, the wood knife fell to the ground, but the chicken ran away without a trace.
Jiang Nuan touched his nose and muttered in a low voice, "It's still a little bit weak." ”
The accuracy is good, but it can't hit the pheasant.
Just as he was about to give up, he saw a panicked pheasant fluttering into the thorn bushes, and the more he wrapped around it......
"Why does this scene sound so familiar?" Jiang Nuan felt as if he had seen this scene, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it.
He walked to the thorn bush, took the machete, and slapped at the pheasant, and after a while, the chicken was silent.
After poking the knife with her knife and making no movement, she put the pheasant in the back basket.
After getting a pheasant, Jiang Nuan swelled, so he ran around with a firewood knife, wanting to hunt more prey.
However, after searching for more than half an hour, I didn't even encounter a rabbit.
"It's good to pick up a pheasant for nothing," Jiang Nuan comforted herself, "I'm not here to hunt anyway." ”
It's still cold on the mountain, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants are not very active, and Jiang Nuan's location is not deep in the mountains and old forests, there is no danger, put the back basket into the space, and began to look around.
Walking under a bare tree, she murmured uncertainly, "This is a chestnut tree?" ”
I ate a lot of fried chestnuts, but the chestnut trees only saw a few pictures.
I picked at the thick leaves with a machete, and found that there were a lot of chestnuts buried in the ground.
Some have vomited, some have been eaten, and occasionally a budding one can be seen, less than half intact, but a whole sack has been packed.
Next to it, there are four or five more such trees.
"It's all money." Jiang Nuan suddenly had such a thought.
Whether it's sugar-fried chestnuts or chestnut cakes, it's a lucrative business.
Moreover, she has not seen anyone sell it.
happily piled chestnuts in the space, and Jiang Nuan was reluctant to go down the mountain.
When she went down the mountain, she also saw a yam, and dug for a while before continuing to walk.
Stop and go all the way, and when you get to the door, it is already dusk.
As soon as he called someone to open the door, Boss Huang's eager voice came from the courtyard, "Mother, you are finally back, Second Brother Han has been waiting for a day." ”
