Volume 1 Chapter 1 The Discovery of the Bamboo Sunflower
"Little sister, little sister~~~"
"Little sister, little sister~~~"
The shouts are particularly loud in winter, Qiao Song shouted while entering the mountains and forests, it is already dark, he has come back from the town, the little sister has not come back yet, I asked the little brother to know, not long after he went out with his front foot, the little sister went to the bamboo forest in the mountains.
That stupid girl, there will be bamboo shoots there, and when winter comes, the whole village will go out, even the ones that have just emerged will be dug up cleanly.
Qiao Xi would only go into the mountains to look for something when her brother was not at home, if her brother was at home, it would be something she didn't even think about, and she would be nagged if she moved a little thought.
After her brother went out today, she confessed to her little brother, took a small basket into the mountain, she had an ancient martial arts body, the harvest into the mountain is not small, picked a lot of herbs, also hunted a pheasant and a hare, see that the sky is almost dark, she sped up the pace down the mountain, when she came to the bamboo forest, she heard the voice of the eldest brother from a distance, simply slipped into the bamboo forest, and waited until the brother approached, and then pretended to come out of the bamboo forest.
Qiao Xi didn't go in very much, not long after she entered, she found the place that had been excavated, there was a bunch of small light brown balls under a fallen leaf, hurriedly took two steps forward, immediately squatted down, reached out and picked up the ball on the ground and looked at it for a long time, and then stroked it lovingly, with a big smile on her face.
This is a big baby, known as the reputation of the flower of the mountain, the queen of the fungus.
Bamboo sunflower is generally parasitic on the root of bitter bamboo, a kind of cryptofloral fungus, the shape is similar to the reticulated dried snake skin when it grows up, it has a goose egg yolk cap, a snow-white cylindrical stipe, a pink egg-shaped fungus tray, and a fine white mesh skirt at the top of the stipe is spread down from the fungus cover, which is very good-looking.
Qiao Xi was worried about how to improve her family, and God sent it to her, and it should be a good income to sell it to a big restaurant in the county seat.
Qiao Xi took the rotten bamboo leaves and received them in the back basket.
Since one can be found, there should still be one, Qiao Xi simply waited for Qiao Song in the same place, and when he came, let's look for it together, there are many people, there is a lot of power.
"Little Sister ......"
"Brother, I'm here." Qiao Song's voice got closer and closer, and Qiao Xi replied.
Qiao Song stood outside the bamboo forest and heard his sister's voice in the bamboo forest, walked in hurriedly, and saw a small figure standing there waiting for him after a while.
"Brother, I found something good, let's find out if there is one." As soon as Qiao Song approached, Qiao Xi said as if offering a treasure, with a smile on his face.
Looking at his sister with a smile on her face, she couldn't say anything when she was angry, how could he not understand her little sister's thoughts, but how old she and her younger brother were, as the eldest brother, he had the responsibility to take care of the family.
"Really? What is it? Qiao Song asked with a smile.
"This is it." Qiao Xi pointed to the round fairway in the bamboo basket.
Qiao Song looked into the bamboo basket, but saw a bunch of brown balls in the pile of rotten crumbs that looked very similar to snake gall, and he was so frightened that he took several steps back, "Little sister, that's a snake egg, hurry up and throw it away." "There are a lot of bamboo forests, every time the people in the village see it, they will quickly step on it, and my sister is good, and she actually treats it as a treasure.
Qiao Xi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and only sighed at the violent destruction of heavenly things, but this can't be blamed on her brother's rarity, if it wasn't for her previous life, she liked to read books, as long as it was a book, she would read it, otherwise she wouldn't recognize what it was.
But at this time, she still hurriedly explained, otherwise her brother would probably throw it on the ground and crush it, and then she would find someone to cry about.
"Brother, this is Zhusun, it will break out of the shell in a few days, and it will be delicious to make soup." Just thinking about the smell made her salivate, it was so delicious.
"Bamboo Sun? How do you know this is a bamboo sunflower? ”
"Brother, you forgot, I like to read books the most. I've read all of my father's books. Qiao Xi had long known that her brother would ask, and she had already found an excuse. And her brother has seen it, but he is not as complete as her, so this is not a lie.
Fortunately, her father is a little more powerful, there are a lot of books, her father has taught her to read since she was a child, and she also likes to stay in her father's study and read all kinds of books.
"Look, how did I forget about it." Qiao Song patted the back of his head and looked at his sister with a smile. His father is the only talent in Qiaojia Village, although he is foreign, but he can be regarded as earning face for Qiaojia Village, but he didn't take the exam twice and didn't take the exam again, and then he found a job teaching in a private school, and their family's life was very fulfilling, but he didn't expect that half a year ago his father went into the mountain and encountered a heavy rainstorm, and the landslide lost his life, and even took his mother with him, and there were only three of their brothers and sisters left in the family, and his father's funeral hollowed out the whole family, but fortunately he did not owe foreign debts, Otherwise, the life of the three of them will only become more difficult. In order to support this family, he could only give up his studies to support his family.
"Brother, I'm eight years old, I can support this family with you." Qiao Xi swore and said.
"Good. Then let's look again. "When my father and mother were here, my little sister didn't suffer anything, she was their treasure, but I didn't expect ~~~ Qiao Song put away her grief and couldn't let her sister worry.
The brother and sister have been looking for about an hour, and they have really found a lot, seeing that the sky has become dark, even if they want to find it, they have to give up, and there is a small one at home.
"Brother, let's go back first, otherwise my brother will be in a hurry."
"Okay, we'll come back tomorrow." The bamboo forest is so big, there should be quite a few more.
"Tomorrow we'll all come."
"Come, I'll carry the bamboo basket." Qiao Song picked up the bamboo basket before his sister and walked down the mountain.
The family didn't have the money to buy an oil lamp, so Qiao Bai used the firewood as an oil lamp, and walked around the door anxiously, his brother had been looking for his sister for a long time, why hadn't he come back.
Fortunately, their house was close to the foot of the mountain, and when he saw two vaguely two figures coming towards his house, he hurriedly ran up, and the fear in his heart exploded instantly, and tears flowed down, "Sister, didn't you say that you will come back soon, why did you go for so long, wow~~~~"
"Well, sister, isn't she back, don't cry, don't cry, I'm hungry, let's go back and cook." Qiao Bai has liked to stick to her since he was a child, and this is the first time he has been alone at home, and it is rare to endure crying until now.
"Woo woo~~ You can't leave me next time."
"Okay, I'll take you with me next time."
"Little brother, don't cry, go home."
When he got home, Qiao Xi rushed straight to the kitchen, and was about to make something to eat, when he opened the lid of the pot and found that there were already boiled sweet potatoes in the pot, "Little brother, you made it." ”
"Well, after the eldest brother went to find you, I cooked a few sweet potatoes, I was afraid that you would be hungry." Qiao Bai scratched his head embarrassedly, he still knows how to cook sweet potatoes, he has been doing it when his sister makes it, so he will, and he won't do anything else if it's too complicated.
"It's amazing, my little brother has grown up." While praising his younger brother, he put the sweet potato in a basin and brought it to a low table in the kitchen.
