Chapter 10: Ascending the Mountain
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this is a good place, and across the stream is a slippery paddy field, which has not yet been sown, and the black soil turned out can show the fertility of the land.
Jin Yu wanted to go to the stream to see if there were any fish and shrimp, but her hand was grabbed by Jin Tian.
"You can't go to the stream, sister, let's go up the mountain! There are many good things to do up the mountain. "Jintian also has a basket on his back, and he will come back later to cut pigweed.
"Okay. Listen to the little day. ”
Knowing why Jintian didn't let her go to the stream, Jinyu didn't insist, this top-heavy Jinyu was really not sure that something would happen, although the area of the stream was not small, three or four meters wide, there must be, and there would be no good luck to cross it again last time.
"Jin Niang, is this good?"
The siblings had just walked a few steps when a woman of about thirty years old, with an amiable smile on her round face, came up with a hoe.
Jin Yu didn't know anyone, so she had to smile, nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's all right." ”
"Bodhisattva bless! If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, so be it, let him pass the past, and he can't do stupid things anymore. ”
"Yes."
This should refer to the divorce, Jin Yu replied softly, she didn't feel any sense at all, and she didn't feel any sadness.
"Okay! Then Aunt Cuihua is relieved, you can go to play with Erni when you are free! I've been talking about you for the past few days. ”
"Good! Auntie, you are busy first. ”
"Definitely coming!"
The woman said hello and left, and a single-plank bridge in front of her was a trapezoidal paddy field on the opposite bank, and her slightly plump figure walked like a fly.
Jin Yu exhaled, glad that the people here were simple and simple, and no one came to squeeze him.
Carrying a bamboo basket, he followed Jin Tian to the side of the path, which was the way up the mountain.
Spring is worthy of being the season of recovery, and Jinyu saw a lot of wild vegetables along the way, thinking that she would go up the mountain without digging it.
"Sister, if you're tired, we'll rest. There's a big rock ahead, let's go over. ”
"Good!"
Halfway up the mountain, Jin Yu was already chest tightness and shortness of breath, the little water she drank before was useless in her stomach, and her stomach was cramping, and Jintian's proposal was exactly what she meant.
The big stone in Jin Tian's mouth was actually not that big, the size of half a coffee table, and Jin Yu didn't care about the moss on it, and sat down.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Jin Yu's weak appearance frightened Jin Tian, usually the sister and brother often go up the mountain, which time Jin Yu did not take the lead in the front, walking in a hurry.
"It's okay! Just take a break. Jin Yu said with a slow smile.
General Jin Tian was skeptical, but he also obediently dug up wild vegetables on the side, and Jin Yu scanned the surroundings, looking for something more valuable.
A green wood, smelling of dirt and dead leaves.
There were no fruits on the trees, and there were no mushrooms on the ground, so Jin Yu withdrew her gaze in disappointment, it seemed that she was too happy too early.
"Xiaotian, are there any hunters in our village?"
"Yes! Brother Yunfu is, when I grow up, I will go to him to learn hunting, and then we will have meat to eat every day. ”
"Poof!"
Jin Yu was laughed at by Jin Tian's words, this baby was greedy, all she wanted to say was eating, and she was extremely distressed after laughing.
"Sister is waiting for Xiaotian to make meat for me to eat every day."
"Uh-huh!"
After resting, Jin Yu is going to go to the woods to take a look, even if there is any good thing on the side of the road, the people who go up the mountain have already seen it, and they can't wait for Jin Yu to pick it now.
"Xiaotian, you follow your sister closely, where your sister hasn't walked, don't go."
"Okay!"
The back of this mountain has not been exposed to yin and yang for a long time, and the woods are still a little damp, Jin Yu kept moving the weeds to the calf with a wooden stick, all the way to the depths.
"Little God! We've found something good! ”
A section of rotting trees lay across the grass, I don't know who cut it down and forgot to take it home, and now it just happens to be the cradle of fungus.
Clusters of fungus grew on top of each other, and Jin Yu called Jin Tian, and he had already squatted down to pick it.
Even if she can't sell it for money, this large clump of more than ten catties of fungus is enough for her to eat for a few days, not to mention that it will continue to grow.
"Sister, what is this? Can you eat it? ”
Jin Tian hadn't eaten any of these things, except for greens and the occasional meat, to be exact, he hadn't eaten a few foods, and these black ones were even more unheard of.
"I can eat it! I'll go back and make it for you later. ”
If it weren't for the fact that eating it raw would cause skin diseases, Jin Yu would be hungry and want to stuff it into her mouth now.
"Good!"
Jin Tian naturally believed Jin Yu without saying a word, and squatted down to help.
"Keep the small ones, we'll pick them in two days." Jin Yu whispered.
After the two of them harvested those fungus, Jin Yu decided to go home, so she could get some food first.
Who knew that as soon as he bypassed a bush, Jin Yu's sharp eyes saw a large field of vine plants shaped like sycamore leaves, which looked like yams.
It's a good thing, just as hungry as sweet potatoes.
"Xiaotian, give me the sickle." Jin Yu said happily.
"The grass here can't be fed to pigs, sister."
Jin Tian handed over the sickle and did not forget to remind.
"I know."
Jin Yu followed the yam vine to find the rhizome, looking at a large clump, where the rhizome was not easy to find.
Jin Yu scratched with a sickle for a while, and soon found the rhizome, knelt on the ground and dug a few times with the sickle.
The loose earth was quickly pushed away by her, and a rough brown yam head appeared in her eyes.
"Little God, we won't be hungry." Jin Yu couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Really? I'm here to help, too. ”
Jin Tian put down the back basket behind him, knelt down like Jin Yu, and pulled the soil vigorously, and the yam was exposed in more places, just like that, it was bigger than Jin Yu's fist.
The sister and brother were pleasantly surprised to forget that this was the deep mountain and old forest, and the crackling digging naturally attracted others.
After Lian Yunfu saw the Jinyu sisters and brothers kneeling on the ground, he slowly put down the four-stone bow and arrow in his hand, and just heard the movement outside the woods, he thought there was prey.
"Xiaotian, what are you doing?"
It's not good to call Jin Yu's name, Lian Yunfu called Jin Tian out loud.
"Ah~"
The sister and brother were startled at the same time, and at the same time turned their heads to look back, and when they saw that it was a person, they didn't even see the person who came, and Jinyu's first reaction was to bury most of the yam that had just been dug up.
You must not let people steal their own food.
"Brother Yunfu, we're digging something delicious."
Jin Tianxin was straightforward and said it when Jin Yu buried the yam.
Helplessly, Jin Yu could only stop that action, and smiled awkwardly, "One thing that can be eaten, just one." ”
Lian Yunfu had already seen what Jin Yu had been trying to cover up before, this thing was edible, but it was numb and astringent, and no one in the village would want it, not only that, but his hands would itch after touching this thing.
