Chapter 5: Into the Mountains
The brothers and sisters boiled the water, and after eating a few wild vegetable cakes, they lay down on the bed to rest. Li Miaomiao was tired for a day, and soon fell asleep. I woke up early the next day, and it was early in late spring and early summer, and it seemed that it should be around five o'clock in the morning. Although I woke up early, it was probably the most comfortable sleep in years, despite the aches and pains.
Gently moving away from the two small bodies that were snuggling up to her, Li Miaomiao fetched water and washed it, because there was nothing to brush her teeth for, so she had to rinse her mouth with water first. After cleaning up, I put on my old backpack and decided to try my luck in the mountains.
When you go out and stand in your own courtyard, you can see the endless Dayue Mountain. Li Miaomiao quickened her pace, and it took half an hour to climb a small slope. In fact, the mountain road is still very easy to walk, because there are often people around the shallow mountain to chop firewood, pick wild vegetables, there are only some small bushes around, not to mention wild vegetables, even the grass that the livestock can eat can not be seen, only a winding path leads to the deep mountain.
The weak body was already exhausted, but thinking that there were still two yellow-faced and thin-skinned children at home, Li Miaomiao gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, there was a cooing sound from the bushes next to him, and he saw a colorful pheasant looking for food, and Li Miao hurriedly ran over. However, the pheasant reacted too quickly, and ran away without waiting for anyone to get close.
The prey that was finally found, Li Miaomiao was unwilling to give up easily, and chased all the way to the deep mountain pass, and the pheasant disappeared. Hey, with this small body, it is impossible to chase the prey.
Li Miaomiao, who was sitting on the ground and relieved, looked at the boundary monument in front of her, hesitating whether to enter the deep mountain. The villagers erected a boundary monument in this deep mountain pass to warn the villagers not to venture in, which is enough to see the danger of this deep mountain, after all, the original father was killed in the deep mountain. After only thinking about it for a while, Li Miaomiao still decided to try her luck in it, it was better than starving to death, and she had lived in the countryside since she was a child, and she still had enough experience in the mountains.
Not far from the deep mountain pass, the scenery in front of you is completely different, and there are lush trees everywhere, which is not the same as the shallow mountain. Li Miaomiao walked cautiously, and was holding a sickle to mark the trees not far away, if you really get lost in this deep mountain, there is really only one dead end.
This mountain is really rich in resources, wild vegetables can be seen everywhere, Li Miaomiao first dug up some leafy vegetables he knew nearby, gray gray cabbage, and picked some edible mushrooms next to a big tree. When I saw a fatty mushroom, I excitedly picked it, but my subordinates didn't pay attention and caught something sticky. When I raised my hand, it turned out to be. Li Miaomiao hurriedly threw it away disgustingly, and rubbed her hands vigorously on the grass next to her, and didn't stop until she felt clean.
It's really unlucky, the pheasant didn't catch it but grabbed a hand of, Li Miaomiao looked at the surrounding places speechlessly, and after a closer look, there were a lot of, which meant that there were often pheasants here. Although you can't catch pheasants, it's good to be able to pick up a few wild eggs.
Li Miaomiao hurriedly searched for the thick weeds around the big tree, and after a while, she found a nest of wild eggs, and there were quite a few, it seemed that there must be twenty. Take out the wild eggs and carefully put them into the back basket that already contains half a basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms. I didn't finish all the wild eggs in the nest, but I left three of them, and maybe the pheasants will come back to lay eggs.
Another nest of wild eggs was found in the nearby bushes, and Li Miaomiao kept a few and put them all in his back basket. I couldn't see the sky in the deep mountains, but I felt that I should come out for an hour or two, thinking that my younger brothers and sisters at home would be in a hurry if they didn't see me, Li Miaomiao resisted the urge to continue the treasure hunt and decided to leave, and picked some wild vegetables to cover the things in the back basket and hurried down the mountain to rush home.
