Chapter 50: Red Fruit
A few people secretly said, this Fan Cai fan is black again, it used to be five yuan and one hexagram, but now it has doubled, Lu Zigui waved his hand with a black face, this teacher can't worship.
The six of them found a leeward place to settle in the small Taoist temple, ready to embark on the last and most important task, a picnic.
Fang Si poured out all the things in the schoolbag, a mountain of snacks appeared in front of everyone, Xiao Xi took out a large piece of tenderloin from the hill with a dark face, "Li Fangsi, don't tell me to eat it raw." ”
Fang Sibai glanced at Xiaoxi, "Of course it's barbecue!" As he spoke, the young man took out an iron box from his bag as if by magic.
"Here's what it does."
"This is Ben Shao's treasure chest." Fang Si mysteriously opened the box, inside knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, tableware, and a handful of bamboo skewers, Fang Si picked up the bamboo skewers, "This is what I specially asked Uncle Yang to help me find, and there are," Fang Si pushed aside several bags of snacks on the hill, and at the bottom was a bag of various vegetables sealed in a fresh-keeping bag, next to the vegetables was ham sausage, Fang Si picked up the bag of vegetables and threw it to Xiao Xi, "It's all prepared for me by Aunt Bai, and Aunt Bai also said that you should eat more vegetables." ”
Xiao Xi pushed the bag of vegetables away with a disgusted face, speechless,
"For this picnic, Ben Shao has made enough preparations. Do you only have some snacks in your bag? I know it without your answer, so the key is still up to me, you think about it now, I have been disgusted with my slow walk just now, do you feel guilty now, Ang, I know if you don't say it, so now I will give you a chance, this meat skewer, the work of making a fire will be reluctantly handed over to you, you distribute it yourself, I will reluctantly supervise you on the side. Fang Si looked proud, and said endlessly, the five people around him opened their mouths wide, some were speechless, and indeed as Fang Si said, several people's backpacks were full of some snacks. However, Xiaoxi and Linzhi were a little puzzled, the snacks of the three of them were all prepared by Aunt Bai, why did Fang Si's bag contain these things, but when he heard the last words of the young man, he thought of it, Fang Si squeezed his eyebrows at Aunt Bai, and he understood the cat.
After Fang Si finished speaking, he picked up a bag of snacks, sat on the ground with his buttocks, Xiao Erlang's legs were cocked, and he looked at a few people leisurely, seeing that a few people didn't move, he patted the bag of potato chips in his hand, "What are you doing in a daze!" Do you have to give it to you? Without waiting for them to reply, Fang Si continued, "That's okay, Linzhi, you and Fan Changshou and Lu Zigui, you go and pick up some small wood to make a fire, Xiaoxi, you and Li Mo are responsible for cutting meat skewers." After speaking, he added, "Don't look at me, if you want to eat something good, go to work, quickly." ”
"Hey, I'm so short-tempered," Xiao Xi rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, Fang Si immediately lost his prestige just now, and covered his ears with both hands, "Don't be rough, don't be rough, I'm a reasonable distribution, if you have an opinion, you can't do it." ”
Lin Zhi smiled and grabbed Xiao Xi's arm, "Let our Young Master Li rest, there will be five kilometers in two days!" Xiao Xi put down his hand and glared at Fang Si, Fang Si instantly became angry when he heard Lin Zhi's words, "Yes, there are also five kilometers that you reported to me on your own initiative, if you can't do it, I will give you more work,"
"What are you talking about-" Xiao Xi began to roll up his sleeves again,
"No, no, no. Just kidding, kidding. "Someone immediately lost his temper.
Lin Zhi patted Fan Changshou on the side, Fan Changshou patted his ass and stood up, "Let's go!" Go collect firewood. When Lu Zigui heard this, the pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he also stood up,
"Changshou, you go to the left, I'll go to the middle, Lu Zigui, you go to the right! We don't need too much, one person picks up a handful and comes back to gather. Lin Zhi said and bent down to take out three pairs of gloves from his backpack and handed them a pair to each of them.
"Linzhi, you still have this thing!" Fan Changshou took it and put it on his hand,
"Aunt Bai pretended, I didn't know what to do with it at first, but now I know." Lin Zhi smiled helplessly,
"Aunt Bai is thoughtful." Lu Zigui answered, Lin Yi smiled and hummed softly,
Fan Changshou waved his hand and walked down the mountain on the left, Lin Zhi followed closely and walked towards the middle, Lu Zigui looked at the backs of the two, and a pair of peach blossom eyes squinted again, "Lu Zigui, are you still going." Xiao Xi said on the side, giving the young man a big roll of his eyes.
"Go, go, go. That's it. Lu Zigui responded with a smile and walked to the right. Three teenagers embarked on three very different paths.
After the three of them left, Xiao Xi picked up the knife and swiped at Fang Si twice, "You and Li Mo skewer meat together." The tone was resolute, and her face was fierce, as if the young man would not agree, and the knife in her hand would be corrected on the spot. Fang Si agreed, originally the boy just didn't want to pick up firewood, and naturally it didn't matter if he was skewering meat, especially with a certain girl, he was even more happy.
There is also a small mountain road on the south side of the mountain, different from the road that just came up, this path is much more empty on both sides, on both sides of the path is covered with a very low tree about two or three meters high, but these trees are full of a small red fruit at this time, a young man with a round head and a round brain, hugged a pile of firewood, put the firewood on the side of the fruit tree, jumped up, grabbed the branch with both hands, fluttered on both feet, warped to the branch, turned over, sat on it steadily, The boy plucked a fruit from the branch, rubbed it on his clothes at will, put it to his mouth, and bit it with a squeak, splashing out a bunch of white juice, the fruit was not big, three mouthfuls of one, the boy sat on the tree for a while and ate five or six, and then wiped his mouth contentedly, half leaning on the trunk of the tree, one leg swinging freely in the air. A pair of big black eyes, not turning, I don't know what to think, but the expression on the young man's face is rich, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, and sometimes becoming very entangled.
"Fan Changshou!" A shout called the boy back from his state of distraction, and another boy with a handful of firewood came over from the right,
"This way, Little Er." The young man on the tree waved his arms vigorously, there was no one around, Fan Changshou also changed his name, Linzhi walked under the tree, and put the firewood he picked up and Fan Changshou's together, "What are you doing here." After picking up the firewood, Lin Zhi was going to go back, but he caught a glimpse of a person sitting on the tree, thinking that it should be Fan Changshou, so he walked over.
Fan Changshou didn't answer Linzhi's question, and stretched out a hand to Linzhi under the tree, "Come." ”
Lin Zhi smiled and shook his head, jumped up, grabbed the branch tightly with both hands, and put his legs on the branch with a force, and sat down with one turnover, compared with Fan Changshou just when he was on the tree, it was obviously smoother, like a little monkey.
"I didn't see it! Xiao Er, you're still a veteran of tree climbing. ”
"When I was a child, I was restless, climbing up and down every day."
Fan Changshou picked a fruit and handed it to Linzhi, after Linzhi took it, he didn't eat it immediately, and seemed a little hesitant, "Don't worry!" Not poisonous. Or I'll give it to you. ”
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "No, I'm not Snow White. ”
"I'm not Snow White's stepmother yet!"
Lin Zhi wiped the fruit twice with his hand, and took a bite of it, before he could taste it, Fan Changshou on the side stared at him and asked, "How is it, how is it." ”
Lin Zhi swallowed the fruit in his mouth and glanced at the young man, "Dare you to experiment with me!" ”
"What are you talking about? I'm asking you if it's delicious, I've eaten a bunch of them. As he spoke, Fan Changshou pointed to the pits of a pile of fruit underground.
"Delicious, delicious! How did you find this fruit, what is it called? Lin Zhi asked casually after taking another bite, but Fan Changshou was silent, his eyes looked ahead, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lin Zhi didn't ask, eating the fruit and waiting for the boy.
"Before, my family lived on this side of the mountain," the young man said, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bitter, "at the bottom of the mountain is a small village with only two streets, and the people in the village often come here to cut wood, and sometimes when they are hungry and thirsty, they will pick some fruits to eat, and the people in the village are not educated, so they give the name of the red fruit according to the color of the fruit." Although it is only separated by a mountain from the small county town, in the hearts of the villagers, it is a mountain that is difficult to climb, and in their opinion, as long as they can live in this county, they are very promising. The boy let out a long breath as he spoke.
"Little Er,"
"Huh?"
"I'm not the one who is very promising."
"Hmm." Lin Zhi snorted, not to perfunctory the young man, but in Lin Zhi's heart, Fan Changshou really deserved these words. Hearing Linzhi's answer, the young man smiled and looked up at the fruit on the tip of the tree, "I'm like it, no matter how tall it grows, it can't get away from this tree, and the height of this tree has determined my final height." Actually, I envy Lu Zigui, the tree that belongs to him is much taller. At the end, the boy suddenly added, "But! So what. ”
Lin Zhi didn't say anything, picked two fruits casually, wiped them and handed them to the young man, and stuffed the other into his mouth, Fan Changshou took it and took a bite and said: "When I was a child, every time my grandmother came back from the mountain, she would bring me a bag of this red fruit, and I was reluctant to eat it, I only ate one a day, counting the days, thinking that my grandmother was going up the mountain again that day, and then I had to eat all the remaining fruits." Speaking of this, Fan Changshoude's face was filled with a smug smile, but he soon became a little helpless, "Later, when I took it out on the day my grandmother went up the mountain, I found that the fruit was all bad. The boy tugged at the corners of his mouth and pulled out an ugly smile, "After that, grandma never went up the mountain again." Fan Changshou lowered his head and took another bite of the fruit, no longer speaking, just chewing slowly. Lin Zhi didn't say anything from beginning to end, just listened carefully to what the young man had to say, but the fruit in his hand didn't move again.
On the other side of the road, at some point, stood a young man with a shirt holding firewood, and the young man's peach blossom eyes narrowed and narrowed, and finally turned and walked up the mountain.
