Chapter 8 Mushroom Picking

After returning from the village house, Lu Erniang went to the kitchen to boil water and prepared to bathe Lu Xianger and Lu Hong. And Lu Hong didn't seem very happy to see Lu Xiang'er, so he understood that it was because A-Niang didn't let her make those gadgets. In order to make Lu Xiang'er happy, Lu Hong immediately took out those gadgets and continued to ask Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er felt a little bored in her heart, but she couldn't bear to refuse Lu Hong, so she picked up the one Lu Hong had taken before and said, "This is called bamboo, wood dragonfly, and it is played like this." Clamp the stick in the palm of your hand, and then quickly rub and loosen, and the 'wooden dragonfly' flies. ”

"Can this gadget really fly?" Lu Hong was very surprised when he saw such a gadget for the first time. Then he pointed to a lump of wood and continued to ask. Seeing that Lu Hong was so happy, Lu Xiang'er also had some interest and told Lu Hong that it was a spinning top, and she was playing on the ground.

When Lu Erniang entered the house and asked Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er to take a bath, the brother and sister were playing around those gadgets. Fantasizing about Lu Xiang'er's appearance when she was usually at home alone, Lu Erniang's brows furrowed. Then, while thinking, she bathed the brother and sister.

When she stuffed Lu Xiang'er into the laid futon, Lu Erniang said: "Xiang'er, since you are very bored at home, let's go up the mountain with your sister Xiu'er to pick mushrooms from tomorrow." ”

"Auntie, did you let me out?" When Lu Xiang'er heard this, her eyes were a little brighter than usual. Seeing Lu Xiang'er like this, Lu Erniang also became happy, nodded her head, and said with a smile: "What A-Niang said is true, not laughing." ”

"A-Niang, you're so nice." Lu Xiang'er thought that she could walk out of this courtyard, and she was happy, so she immediately got up and kissed Lu Erniang's face. Lu Erniang smiled, and also began to scratch Lu Xiang'er's itch, and the mother and daughter laughed together. Lu Hong was also very happy to see this. After thinking of something, he put down the book in his hand and walked out. And when he was ready to go to bed, he returned to the house.

The next day, before Lu Hong officially went to the school, he quietly put the small basket he had made up last night next to Lu Xiang'er, and then left the house in a hurry. And when Lu Erniang saw all this, she was very pleased to go to the county with Aunt Zhao.

Because Lu Xiang'er was allowed to go out of the courtyard, she opened her eyes not long after Lu Erniang and Lu Hong left. Seeing the small basket, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but smile. I got up very happily, washed up and ate. When she had just finished feeding the chickens, Zhao Xiu came to the door with a basket.

Seeing that Lu Xiang'er had already packed up and seemed to be waiting for her, Zhao Xiu smiled and said, "Xiang'er, your aunt has already told me that I will take you to pick mushrooms today." Let's go now, we have to wait for Sister Yue. ”

"Okay, Sister Xiu, let's go." Lu Xiang'er nodded, then took the small basket woven by Lu Hong, and followed Zhao Xiu out of the courtyard.

The two waited at the foot of the mountain for half an hour, and Zou Yue, the second friend Lu Xiang'er met in Qinghe Village, walked slowly with a basket. Zou Yue was very surprised to see Lu Xiang'er, and while looking her up and down, she smiled and said, "Xiang'er, your aunt finally let you go out." ”

"Yes, Sister Yue. My aunt also allowed me to go mushroom picking with you and Sister Xiu. Lu Xiang'er smiled sweetly at Zou Yue, because she also liked Zou Yue's temperament.

Since she came into contact with Zhao Xiu, Lu Xianger has seen that Zhao Xiu's heart is very kind, but she is a little timid and a little obsessed with money. And Zou Yue is a cheerful, refreshing, and somewhat righteous person. Therefore, Lu Xianger is also very happy to become friends with Zhao Xiu and Zou Yue.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go up the mountain." Zou Yue was the longest of the three, so she also took on the responsibility of her sister and took the initiative to walk in front.

Because the village was busy with their own children going to school today, only the three of them went up the mountain. Therefore, Zou Yue proposed to look for mushrooms nearby and not go to the mountains. Of course, Zhao Xiu and Lu Xiang'er agreed, otherwise if they encountered any large carnivores, they would regret it. However, the three of them searched and searched, but they didn't find too many mushrooms. Even if there is, it's very small. Lu Xiang'er knew that this place had been visited by them.

Zou Yue obviously didn't want to go back without picking anything, so she pointed to a mountain next to her and said, "Let's follow this road and go to that mountain to have a look." Xiang'er don't worry, let's not go to the mountains, just outside, there will be no danger. ”

Zhao Xiu, who was only eight years old, was a little timid and seemed to be a little reluctant to go. When Zou Yue saw her like this, she whispered that she had been there herself a few days ago. There are a lot of mushrooms there, but it's just a little far away. Sure enough, as soon as he heard that there were mushrooms there, and they were still very big, Zhao Xiu immediately nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiang'er was secretly funny, but she could only show the temperament that a six-year-old girl should have, with a blank face, but she followed Zou Yue closely. Seeing this, Zou Yue took Lu Xiang'er's hand and continued to explain: "Xiang'er, don't worry, there is a cliff on the other side of that mountain, and there is a river next to it, so there should be no one." Besides, let's not go to the mountains, just pick some mushrooms nearby......"

From Qinghe Village to the mountain, the three of them spent half an hour. Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu often come out, so they don't feel anything, but Lu Xiang'er, who went out for the first time, was tired. After seeing a piece of mushroom, Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu happily ran over, but Lu Xiang'er could only find a clean stone and sit down to rest.

Not to mention, though, there are plenty of mushrooms here. Listening to Zhao Xiu's cheers and Zou Yue's smug laughter, Lu Xiang'er didn't rest for long, so she joined the team of the two. When encountering a place with a lot of grass, Zou Yue picked up a stone and threw it inside, so that there was indeed no snake lamp in the grass, so Lu Xiang'er and Zhao Xiu were allowed to pick it. So, in less than half an hour, the baskets of the three men were full.

Thinking that she would have to walk for half an hour to go back, Zou Yue was afraid that Lu Xiang'er would not be able to walk, so she decided to rest here for a while and save up enough strength to go again. Zhao Xiu also felt a little tired, so he didn't have a different opinion. The three of them each found a clean place nearby and sat down.

Zhao Xiu looked at the mushrooms in his basket, and then looked at the ones in the distance that had not been picked, and said with some reluctance: "Sister Yue, let's come back tomorrow." ”

"You damn girl, you didn't think it was too far away to be safe before. Now I feel that there are a lot of mushrooms here, and I am worried about it, right? Zou Yue, who was sitting on the stone and had recovered most of her strength, couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhao Xiu's expression.

Listening to Zou Yue's jokes and Zhao Xiu's justification, Lu Xiang'er's mood was really unprecedentedly happy. But when she looked around and accidentally saw a bunch of familiar fruits, she opened her mouth wide and looked incredulous. And when she wanted to ask Zou Yue something, there was suddenly dust flying down the mountain, followed by a faint sound of horses' hooves.

Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu hurriedly stood up and looked down the mountain. When they found out that the sound of horses' hooves was coming towards the mountain, the faces of the two little girls immediately changed. Although I don't know who the person is, the two of them obviously have educated the two of them. Before Lu Xiang'er also stood on the stone to watch the excitement, she was pulled down by Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu.

"Xiang'er, let's go back to the village quickly." Zou Yue asked Zhao Xiu to help Lu Xiang'er hold the basket, and she carried Lu Xiang'er on her back. The three of them immediately quickened their pace and walked towards Qinghe Village. And the mushrooms that the three of them inadvertently dropped were discovered by the people who went up the mountain later, which the three of them did not expect. It is also because of this that there is the following thing, which will not be talked about here.

Lu Xiang'er didn't understand why Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu were in such a hurry, so she asked the two of them. Zhao Xiu hesitated for a long time, and did not say a word. Or Zou Yue said simply, "You don't understand it when you're young, you'll know when you grow up." Our daughter's family, if you encounter this situation, you can hide, otherwise it is easy to encounter bad things. ”

"Something bad?" Lu Xiang'er thought for a while before she understood what Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu were afraid of. sighed secretly, this ancient woman is really not easy.

It took half an hour when they came, but it was only two quarters of an hour when they went back, which showed that Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu were really scared. Therefore, when they arrived in the village, Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu went home separately, and Lu Xiang'er was not unhappy. Of course, Lu Xiang'er, who returned home, didn't tell her about this 'little thing' because of the good news that Lu Erniang brought back.
