"No, no, it's just ......" Du Mi glanced at his body, moon-white robe, Ge Yun shoes, where is this kind of behavior suitable for mountain climbing?

Xu Hening glanced down and said with a smile: "You wait and see, and we'll see who leads all the way later." ”

Duran took a back basket from the yard and handed it to Xu Hening, when the two hands touched, he unintentionally touched each other, Du Lan avoided it quietly, but Xu Hening looked embarrassed, and only secretly looked at Du Lan with the back basket on his back, only to see that she also carried the back basket and didn't care.

Zhao rushed over from home, and saw Du Lan, Du Liang and Du Mi going out together, she stepped into Gu You'an's house, and Grandpa Gu was still enjoying the shade of the tree, she was dissatisfied: "Father-in-law, did you let Du Lan go out with them?" ”

Zhao's words already implied other meanings, and they naturally referred to Xu Hening.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lao Gen both glanced up at Zhao, and then at Old Man Gu, Old Man Gu smiled and said: "Mother Duran, the children are all older, they know what to do and what not to do, let's save some snacks as elders." ”

Zhao walked in front of Old Man Gu, for fear of being heard by outsiders, and said in a low voice: "Old man, aren't you afraid that someone will make up gossip behind your back?" You'an is not at home, and a man from outside is with Duran, for fear that it will not affect him. ”

Old Man Gu smiled: "It's okay, isn't there Du Liang and Du Mi as companions?" They're not small, and they can make people gossip. ”

Old Man Gu, as Gu Youan's elder, has no opinion, why is he in a hurry.

After Zhao figured it out, he silently walked into the room to cook soybeans.

Old Man Gu looked at her back and muttered loudly: "The body is not afraid of the shadow." ”

Duran walked in front with a basket on his back, and after a while, a person came out of the alley, and Duran saw that it was Uncle Lao Gen, and immediately called out to him.

"Uncle Laogen."

Uncle Lao Gen looked up and saw that it was Duran, and said with a busy smile: "Duran, this is work." ”

While speaking, his eyes did not forget to glance at Xu Hening, after all, Xu Hening was dignified, and the bamboo basket on his body looked very abrupt on his shoulders in a gorgeous costume.

"Uncle Gen, I happened to meet you, I have something to tell you." Duran interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing her so solemn, Uncle Lao Gen had a bad premonition in his heart, and he scratched his head uneasily, "What's the matter, you just say it." ”

Duran thought of his daughter-in-law's lazy and lazy energy working at home, so he said bluntly: "Uncle Gen, is it that my aunt usually works with her hands and feet?" ”

When Uncle Lao Gen heard this, he immediately nodded: "That's a must, your aunt is a good hand at working at home, no matter what is in the field at home, she is very diligent." Isn't it quite diligent to work with you? ”

Duran hooked his lips and smiled, "Oh? I thought my aunt was working hard. ”

As soon as he said this, the smile on Uncle Gen's face immediately froze, and he stared at Du Lan nervously and asked, "Is it that she didn't work hard, I will definitely talk about her well when I come back, so that she can be more diligent in the future......"

Du Lan interrupted him: "Uncle Gen, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, it's just that my work is paid by the catty, and if she works slowly, she may not be able to earn a few copper coins, and I am embarrassed to delay my aunt for a lot of time." ”

"Huh?" Uncle Gen's face turned a little red after hearing this, so his mother-in-law must be lazy again.

"Uncle Gen, don't take it to heart, I don't mean anything else when I say this, your two sons work diligently, and I will have a big job in the future, and I will find his brothers to do it."

"Oh, I see." Uncle Lao Gen is uncomfortable, and when he gets home, he must talk about his mother-in-law.

"Uncle Gen, then you can get busy."

After Du Lan finished speaking, he walked out of the village with Du Mi, Du Liang, and Xu Hening.

Looking at their backs, Uncle Lao Gen felt a pain in his heart, and when he thought that his mother-in-law was not working hard and had lost an opportunity to make money in vain, he regretted to stomp his feet.

Up the mountain, the forest path became narrower and narrower, and finally became a thorny sheep intestine path on both sides, Du Liang was afraid that there were snakes in the grass, so he picked up a branch to lead the way in front, and hit the grass while walking, and suddenly saw a patch of small flowers not far away.

Du Liang exclaimed in surprise: "Look, so many wild grapes!" ”

Hearing this, Du Lan hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Du Liang, and saw that the nightshade tree more than thirty centimeters tall had bunches of crystal clear wild grapes hanging on the branches, some of them were green, and some of them were already purple and black, obviously ripe.

It turned out to be nightshade, and there are so many nightshades in this place.

A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, Duran thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be over soon, pick some nightshade and go back to dry the preserved fruits to make moon cakes, the taste should be very unique.

Thinking so, he walked towards the patches of nightshade fields, followed by others, the mountains of nightshade hung on the branches, the mountain wind blew, and the ripe fruit food exuded a burst of sweet smell, this small wild fruit Duran did not eat less when he was a child.

Pick the fruit that is ripe to black, throw it into your mouth, and the sweet aroma of the fruit fills your mouth when you chew it.

Xu Hening is a native of the city, rarely sees this thing, he has only seen dried fruit a few times in the medicine hall, and seeing that everyone eats with relish, he hesitated and picked one, wiped off the top layer of dust with his fingertips and threw it into his mouth, and the sweet fruit pulp immediately burst between his teeth.

It's just that the purple juice on his hands doesn't seem to be wiped off.

"Come, let's pick more and go back to dry and make delicious food." Duran happily called to everyone, his eyes sparkling at the mountains of wild grapes.

Xu Hening turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help but quip: "In your eyes, anything can be made delicious." ”

"Brother Xu praised me, this thing could have been made into a delicacy." Duran grinned, his hands darting back and forth on the nightshade vine.

When Du Liang and Du Mi heard that this thing could also be used for food, they couldn't help but cheer, they were looking forward to what Du Lan was going to do.

"Everyone, hurry up and pick it, and when you're done, you'll have to go find the fragrant fruit tree." Duran plucked wild grapes with excitement on his face.

Xu Hening soon joined the picking team, but he was still curious and asked Duran: "What are you going to do when you pick it back?" ”

"Guess." Duran said with his hands on the ground.

"Winemaking?" I tasted the taste of fresh fruit just now, and the juice is not much, but the taste is sweet.

Duran paused to look at him, "Maybe you can really make wine, but this juice is too small, and you need a lot of fruit to make wine, so you might consider growing it artificially." ”

"Oh? Listen to you, it's not winemaking, what are you going to do? Xu Hening asked, and Du Liang and Du Mi also stopped their movements curiously and looked over.

"It's better to keep some mystery, and you'll know when the time comes." Duran sold a pass.

Duran couldn't help but stuff it into his mouth while picking it, Xu Hening looked at everyone's joy, and couldn't help but pick one and eat it in his mouth, who knew that his pick was not fully cooked, and the taste was actually a little sour.

I couldn't help the water in his mouth, and his face was wrinkled, "Bah, bah, why did I pick this sour man?" ”

Duran glanced at him: "Brother Xu, you can't tell if you are unripe, right?" You have to find purple and blackened fruits to eat, the greener they are, the more sour they are, and even a little purple will not do. ”

Hearing this, Xu He Ningjun blushed, he is not a second fool, how can he not tell the difference between raw and ripe, but he has never seen it, thinking that purple can be eaten.

"Alright, we're almost done, let's go." Seeing that a lot had been picked in the basket, Duran raised his eyes and looked at the sky, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he had to quickly find the fragrant fruit tree and go down the mountain before it was dark.

Du Lan picked up the back basket again and walked forward, Xu Hening also hurriedly followed, Du Liang and Du Mi hurriedly stuffed a large handful into the back basket, and then quickly followed.

After walking for a while, they found the fragrant fruit tree that Du Mi said in his mouth, and when they looked around, there were actually several fragrant fruit trees growing here, one of which was as thick as two people hugging together.

"Wow! Great, this is the fragrant fruit tree, and the fruit of the tree is fragrant fruit! Duran cheered excitedly.

Suddenly, there was a low roar from the bushes, and when several people heard this, they hurriedly looked in the direction of the source of the sound, only to see an orange-red animal in the bushes in the shade of the mountain coming this way.

Du Mi's face turned white with fright, "It seems to be a tiger ......"

Duran also heard the low roar just now, and he could almost conclude that it was a tiger. She immediately ordered everyone: "Hurry, hurry up and climb the tree!" ”

Xu Hening was also taken aback, "There are actually tigers here?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's climb quickly, the older generation said that there are tigers on the mountain, and we haven't seen it with our own eyes when we grow so big." Du Liang came back to his senses and climbed up the tree with his hands and feet.

"Come, Mimi, give me your hand quickly!" At some point, Duran had climbed high into the trunk of a tree and reached down to rescue Dumi.

There was another tiger roar behind him, and Du Mi screamed in fright, "I can't climb trees!" ”

On the side, Xu Hening hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't be afraid, I'll drag you down there." ”

Saying that, Xu Hening didn't care about the difference between men and women, he held Du Mi's thighs with both hands and lifted them up, Du Lan pulled them up, and Du Liang had already climbed to the top of the tree at this time.

Du Liang climbed a few more steps up along the trunk of the tree, Du Mi was afraid of heights, and he didn't dare to move after being dragged up by Du Lan, and he didn't dare to look down with his eyes tightly holding the big tree.

Duran stood on the tree and looked into the distance, his eyes suddenly widened, and a reddish-brown tiger with black markings and pointed ears quickly ran towards him.

"Brother Xu, come up!" Duran couldn't help but get nervous, and according to the speed of the tiger's running, he would soon be able to reach the side of the fragrant fruit tree.

Du Mi on the tree was scared and trembled, the tiger looked like it weighed more than 200 pounds, I had heard the old man in the village say that there was a tiger on the mountain, but I didn't expect to meet it this time on the mountain.

The tiger is the king of the mountain, with a fierce temperament, is there still life to be targeted by it?

"Brother Xu, climb up." Du Mi shouted anxiously from the tree.

Xu Hening was already frightened, and his throat became trembling, "I...... I can't climb trees. ”

In terms of business, there are probably few people as young as him in the entire Luo'an City who are his opponents, but in terms of fists and feet, he is at a loss.

"Don't shout, hold on to the trunk, I'll figure it out." Duran glanced at Du Mi and forced himself to calm down, the tiger is a solitary animal, if they can defeat it, they will be safe.

At this time, the tiger had already rushed to the foot of the fragrant fruit tree, and watched Xu Hening striding over under the tree.

Looking at the fierce and mighty beast king in front of him, Xu Hening's heart was about to jump to his throat, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move standing on the ground.

Duran hurriedly poked out his pocket bow and arrow, aimed at the tiger's threatening eyes, and launched it with a whoosh, she was not good at archery, and shot the tiger in the ear, the tiger suddenly became irritable, and pounced on Xu Hening.

"Ah......" Xu Hening's legs were weak and he couldn't move.

Du Mi was so anxious that she shouted on the tree: "Brother Xu, you run ...... quickly"
