Chapter 35: Into the Mountain

Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river.

The peach blossoms in Shanghe Village are blooming, the wind is lifting the flowers, the countryside is sounding, and the sky above the village is curling with smoke and mist.

After breakfast, Ran Wenyue carried a backpack up the mountain, this is a mountain range, just behind their house, walked for more than ten minutes to the foot of the mountain, a path winds into the mountain, looking at the lush trees on both sides, a deep breath, the cells in the body are active.

"Yueyue, come back early, don't go too deep." Chu Xiumei was watering in the vegetable field, looking at Ran Wenyue standing at the foot of the mountain, and said uneasily.

Ran Wenyue turned around and waved her hand, "Mother, don't worry!" I'll be fine with my cousins. ”

After speaking, Ran Wenyue went up the mountain with a basket on her back.

Several children of the Chu family went up the mountain early, and by the time Ran Wenyue went up the mountain, they had already hit two hares.

"Big cousin, fourth cousin, fifth cousin." Ran Wenyue looked at them and shouted happily.

Seeing Ran Wenyue coming, the eldest cousin Chu Tian handed the hare to her, "Sister Yueyue, you can take these two rabbits back and eat them!" ”

Ran Wenyue looked at the two chubby rabbits and said happily, "Cousin, did you shoot two hares in the morning?" It's amazing!"

Chu Tian was full of joy when he heard this, thinking to himself what the two were about, and said heroically: "Give it, take it!" ”

"Big cousin, then you're welcome." Ran Wenyue did not postpone it, although it was said that now that spring has opened and the land has been planted, many vegetables have grown, but after all, they have not grown up and cannot be eaten. However, it was the time when the green and yellow alternated, and there was not much food at home, so the two rabbits sent to the door had no reason to refuse.

"Sister Yueyue, this is the duck egg we picked up by the river in the morning. These are for you. The fifth cousin immediately took out five duck eggs from the basket and handed them over.

Ran Wenyue did not refuse. "When I find something good, I'll give you a share."

"Alright, the people are here, let's go into the mountains now." After Chu Tian finished speaking, he put his bow and arrow on his back and sorted out the machete hanging from his waist.

After entering the mountain, Ran Wenyue found that in the dense mountain forest, some looming small animals appeared from time to time, "There seems to be another hare in front of you who has escaped." ”

It didn't take long for them to make a new discovery.

Chu Tian is also an old hunter in the mountains, he is very experienced, he looked at the footprints and feces remaining on the ground, looked up and said, "This is a pheasant, it should still be around here, everyone be quiet." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a black and red pheasant to appear in Ran Wenyue's field of vision, it was foraging among the grass under the tree, eating it, looking up, and then eating it again.

I saw Chu Tian pulling his bow and arrows, half-squatting on the ground, looking sharply ahead, aiming quickly, only to hear the sound of "boom", the pheasant was shot by the arrow and fell in a pool of blood.

Chu Jun opened his mouth and said, "I'll pick it up." After saying that, he ran over with the basket on his back.

"Fourth cousin, wait for me, I'll go too." Ran Wenyue followed closely.

They hurriedly ran over to pick up the pheasant, Ran Wenyue looked at the feathers on the pheasant and praised: "The feathers of this pheasant are colorful, as beautiful as peacock feathers." ”

After speaking, he quickly picked up some and put them in the back basket.

Chu Jun, who had never heard of a peacock, let alone seen a peacock, heard Ran Wenyue say about a peacock, so he asked suspiciously, "What kind of finch is a peacock?" Is it good-looking? Can you eat it? Sister Yueyue, have you seen it? ”

"The peacock is a big bird. I've heard people say it's very beautiful, and they will open the screen, and they are very beautiful, and their tails are as beautiful as the tail of a phoenix. "It's impossible for Ran Wenyue to say that she has crossed over to see it, so she began to talk nonsense to him, fooling.

"Oh, I'd like to see it when I have a chance in the future." Chu Jun listened to her description and said.

After packing up the pheasants, the group began to continue walking towards the mountains again.

Soon they were on a sunny slope with a rushing brook beside them, where wild plants grew much better than elsewhere.

Ran Wenyue looked at the light in her eyes and said, "Cousin, let's dig some wild vegetables first and then leave!" ”

"Yes, yes! You dig first, and I'll go around the neighborhood. After Chu Tian finished speaking, he carried a bow and arrow on his back and observed around.

"Fifth brother, you are here with Sister Yueyue, I'll go see if there's anything else to eat." After Chu Jun finished speaking, he put down the basket and ran, he first turned around under the tree, and then watched a relatively dense and tall tree climb up.

Boys generally don't want to dig wild vegetables, they want to go up to the trees to dig birds' nests or the like, or find a mountain stream to catch fish and shrimp or something. Ran Wenyue also understood, looked at Chu Han who was with him and said, "Fifth cousin, you don't need to accompany me, I'll be fine here." ”

"I'll dig with you!" Chu Han hesitated for a moment but refused, and dug with her, and didn't stop until he was almost finished. "Sister Yueyue, I'll go see if there are any fish and shrimp first."

Ran Wenyue just raised her head and smiled, and then picked up wild vegetables again.
