Early the next morning, after Aunt Niu rested for a night, most of her foot injuries were healed, so she got up to make porridge, not wanting that the five of them had already washed up and were ready to go up the mountain. Aunt Niu was grateful and moved in her heart, and asked them to finish their breakfast with side dishes, and tied the basket they were carrying carefully, so that it would not hurt and would not be too loose to shake around, and put some food and tea in their baskets, which were supported by Ban Fei and took the group up the mountain.

Aunt Niu's family has eight acres of peach land, which is in a relatively remote corner of the mountain, and it took half an hour to arrive.

The peach trees here are densely packed, and some of the branches have been plucked with only a few skinny peaches, and the remaining branches are hung with heavy and rich peaches. Everyone saw that the next field had almost picked about the same, so they could wait for the little peaches to grow up and pick them again, but there were still many unpicked in this field. It can be seen that the progress of Aunt Niu's family is indeed a little behind, so it is time to work hard.

When Aunt Niu arrived in the field, she first looked carefully, and picked a few large ones from the tree, with good colors, and divided them one by one, so that they could taste the taste first.

Qu Mingli saw Ban Fei take the peach and rub it on his sleeve and gnaw it, and asked strangely, "Don't you like these hairy fruits?" Why are you so careless today? ”

Ban Fei said with a smile: "These are all grown by Aunt Niu's own hard work, and they are a hundred times better than those outside. ”

Aunt Niu was very happy when she saw him say this, and picked a peach for him, and Ban Fei naturally accepted it.

After everyone finished eating the peaches, they saw that Aunt Niu had climbed high and low on the tree and picked them, and hurriedly joined the labor team.

Picking peaches seems to be just a matter of the arm, but when you pick more, you will gradually feel that your arm is sore, and you have to climb up and down, and your hands are covered with peach hair and peach pulp on the trunk, which is sticky.

Everyone endured and persevered, but fortunately there were many clouds on this day, which blocked the sun, and it was not too hot. Rao is like this, but in half an hour, the five of them are already sweating profusely.

"Rest, it's time to get tired." Aunt Niu was anxious and embarrassed, and stopped them one by one and didn't let them move again.

Everyone was really tired, so they rested, and only Ban Fei took care of Aunt Niu's foot injury and helped beside her.

Shi Shu looked at the stains on his hands, and said with a helpless smile: "Originally, there was only one word description of the farmer's labor, but today I really started, not only the experience of tiredness is more profound, but also the knowledge of picking peaches has been studied." If the peach is too small, it is too soft, so it should be placed on the top of the basket and carefully pressed. If I work for a few more days, I'm afraid I'll be able to write a book just by picking peaches. ”

Ning Zeqing was beside him, and when he saw it, he felt dirty on his hands, and he didn't care about himself, so he took out a handkerchief and asked him to wipe it first.

Wei Qin has loved cleanliness since he was a child, and after picking peaches for most of the day, he only felt that his hands were very unclean, and he wanted to find a place to clean them first, so he pulled Qu Mingli together.

Qu Mingli was going to call Ban Fei, but Ban Fei was willing to help without distractions, and after calling him to no avail, he left with Wei Qin first.

Qu Mingli and Wei Qin searched for a water source, and walked a lot before they found a stream, so they squatted down and washed themselves.

Qu Mingli saw that Wei Qin's sleeves were a little long, and the edge of his clothes was soaked in water, so he roughly washed himself, wiped it around his waist, and reached out to roll up Wei Qin's sleeves a little, so as not to be uncomfortable touching his arms if they were stained with water.

Wei Qin didn't expect him to be so careful, he was a little caught off guard, and thanked him after he cleaned up.

When the two of them found their way back, they couldn't find anything.

"Why don't we split up? You can hurry up. If that doesn't work, go back here and find it again. Qu Mingli proposed.

Wei Qin nodded in agreement, and the two parted ways to find a way back.

The mountains look like the same fields and trees, and the scenery is the same after a few steps, and you can't tell where it is. Wei Qin turned around for half an hour, and wanted to go back to the stream to join Qu Mingli, but he didn't even know how to go to that stream.

Turning around like this, I really returned to the place where I used to pick peaches.

Wei Qin happily ran up and asked Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing: "Did you see Ming leave, did he come back?" ”

Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing glanced at each other and replied, "I haven't seen it since you left together." What, you're separated? ”

When Wei Qin heard that Qu Mingli hadn't come back yet, he was anxious, and his tone was a little heavier: "We got lost in the forest, so we separated to find it." I haven't come back yet, will something happen? ”

Ning Zeqing said: "There are no beasts, snakes and insects in the mountains, you can come back if you look for more." ”

Wei Qin saw that his tone was light, a little angry, and he was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Shi Shu.

"Brother Qu is not a child, if he is really lost, he can ask passers-by. Besides, there are many forks in the mountain, and there are also people who take the wrong road for a while. Wait a moment, and if he doesn't come back, we'll go to him. ”

Wei Qin was persuaded by Shi Shu, so he had to wait a little longer, and he was angry that Ning Zeqing didn't care about Qu Mingli, so he stood far away from him and didn't talk to him.

After another hour, Qu Mingli was still nowhere to be seen, and Wei Qin was about to set off to find someone.

"Brother Ban, Ming Li hasn't come back yet, let's go find him together. Otherwise, when the sun goes down and the sun goes down, there will be danger in the mountains. ”

Ban Fei has always come and gone, and the first thing Wei Qin wants to find is him.

Ban Fei looked surprised and stopped what he was doing: "What's the matter, Ah Li is gone?" ”

Since he came to the mountain, he has been doing things with his head down, so he has not found anything that Qu Ming has not seen.

Wei Qin told him the reason, and the two were about to set off, when Qu Mingli fell back.

Wei Qin hurriedly rushed up to check if he was okay, Qu Mingli reassured her that there was nothing wrong, but she had strayed into a place and it took a long time to come out, so she came back late.

Qu Mingli saw that there were many more peaches in everyone's baskets, so he hurriedly got to work, so as not to fall too far behind.

In the afternoon, Aunt Niu asked everyone to stop early, so as not to be too tired, so that she could go back early to rest, and when she counted the peaches in the basket, she was dumbfounded.

Ban Fei picked more peaches than Aunt Niu, and he couldn't put down the two baskets, Shi Shu and Ning Zeqing picked quite little, and they could carry it, Qu Ming was lost for a few hours, naturally the least, he was embarrassed, so he took Ban Fei to pick more and put it in his basket, only to put it on his back.

Aunt Niu only has to carry two trips on weekdays, and today's labor force of five people has exceeded her expectations, and one trip is naturally not enough.

Ban Fei volunteered to go up the mountain to carry it again, Qu Mingli also felt a little lazy to pick peaches, so he went up the mountain with Ban Fei to carry it.

Aunt Niu understood everyone's hard work, made a large bucket of cool well water to wipe their faces, and made a large table of dishes to reward them.

During the meal, Qu Mingli asked Aunt Niu: "I met a crack in the mountain, do you know where Aunt Niu is?" ”

Aunt Niu seemed to hear something unclean, and said in a panic: "How can you not know, it is an evil way, only people have ever entered, and they have never come back." Moreover, passers-by said that there was a strong wind inside, and strange noises could be heard. You must not go in, otherwise, you will not be able to eat the food cooked by Aunt Niu. ”

Qu Mingli replied: "But I have already walked in, and I have reached the end of the road." ”

"The end?" Aunt Niu said strangely, "Where is that?" ”

"It's an official road." Qu Mingli thought back to her without thinking.

Aunt Niu still didn't believe it, she knew what blessing and what health in her mouth, turned around and went to the stove and pinched a pinch of salt and was about to sprinkle it on Qu Mingli's body, which scared him into running around, and everyone couldn't stop laughing.
