"By the way, my sixth sister will take me to the mountains to pick up mushrooms tomorrow, will you go?" After getting Xu Qingyan's assurance, the little girl finally remembered the purpose of her trip.

"Go, of course, but are there no wild beasts in the mountains? Will it be dangerous? Xu Qingyan was very happy and interested at first, but then she remembered that the little girlfriend just now said that she wanted to enter the mountain.

"The beasts are all in the mountains, we just pick up a mushroom on the outskirts of the mountain, and if we don't go into the mountains, we will be fine. In the past, my sixth sister followed the fifth sister, and last year the fifth sister got married, so this year I will go with the sixth sister. I didn't think you hadn't been there either, so I came to you and wanted to ask if you went. ”

"Go, why don't you go, when is tomorrow?" When Xu Qingyan heard that there was no danger, her whole person suddenly became excited. She's been here for so long and it's the first time she's been in the mountains! I don't know what's in the mountains? Looking forward to it!

"I'll go back tomorrow after breakfast, and I'll come to you then, you remember to bring the basket, and I'll go back first." After the little girl finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

"Okay, I see, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow." After Xu Qingwen came back, Xu Qingyan asked a lot of information about this little sister from him.

The little girl's name is Li Xiaohan, not because she was born on Xiaohan's day, but because the names of her sisters are all according to the 24 solar terms.

When she heard her say that she was going to follow her sixth sister to pick mushrooms, Xu Qingyan secretly sighed in her heart, there are so many brothers and sisters in the little girl's family, there are six sisters, plus herself, then her family must have at least seven children. What I didn't expect was that the six above her were all sisters, which means that all the daughters born to the Li family were daughters.

In ancient times, there was no son who had to be bullied and gossip, but fortunately, Li's father had many brothers and brothers, and he was considered to be a member of the clan, so his life was still passable, and he was not bullied too much.

When the Li family separated, because they didn't have a son in this house, they didn't get much land, but fortunately, Li's father could work as a carpenter, Li's mother could embroider, and there were two pigs at home, so the family was generally much better than the Xu family.

The Xu family turned out to be one of the best poor households in the village, and through the money obtained from the sale of quinoa, life has improved.

The next day, just after breakfast, the little sister Li Xiaohan came at a trot, because she had to pass by her house to go to the mountain, so she didn't bring a backpack, but ran over empty-handed to inform Xu Qingyan.

"Ayan, are you ready? We're leaving. ”

"Hey, okay, I'll come out." Xu Qingyan replied in a loud voice, took the back basket and the small hoe and followed Li Xiaohan.

Passing by the door of Li's house, Li Xiaohan said: "Ah Yan, you wait here, I'll go in and get something, and call my sixth sister by the way." With that, he pushed the door open and entered.

After a while, Li Xiaohan came out, followed by Xiaohan's sixth sister Li Xiaoxue, who was about fifteen years old. When he saw Xu Qingyan, he greeted with a smile: "Ayan is here, the hour is not early, let's set off now." ”

The three of them each carried a small basket, from the east of the village to the west to walk for about ten minutes to the foot of the mountain, they want to enter the mountain, called "Huixian Mountain", the origin of the name has an allusion, it is said that hundreds of years ago someone in the mountain had met the gods, so the name, although no one has seen it again, but the name has been handed down.

If the original Xu Qingyan heard this allusion, she just shook her head and smiled, but after getting the immortal book, she learned that there are indeed immortal cultivators in this world. Then the immortal you meet in the legend should be a cultivator, even if it is not a real immortal. And the mountain that can be patronized by immortals or immortal cultivators must have its peculiarities.

Huixian Mountain is not a mountain, but a continuous mountain range, and Beishan Village is only in one of its directions. The top of the mountain goes straight into the sky, and at the foot of the mountain you can only see halfway up the mountainside, and then you can't see it clearly, the whole mountain range is lush and lush.

The three of them each found a dead wood branch and held it in their hands, and swept the surrounding weeds as they walked to prevent stepping on snakes and insects.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaoxue stopped and said: "Okay, let's find out if there are any mushrooms around here, you must not go far, although this is the outer edge of the mountain, I dare not guarantee that there will be no beasts coming down the mountain." The two nodded in agreement, and followed behind Li Xiaoxue honestly, listening to her explain what kind of mushrooms can be eaten and what kind of poisonous ones can't be touched.

After listening to her talk so much, Xu Qingyan sighed again that if she hadn't had the golden finger of the fairy book, she felt that her survival ability was really inferior to that of the ancients. At least if she was to pick this mushroom alone, she would definitely not be able to tell which ones were poisonous? Which ones are not toxic? , she felt that she must be the most wasted crossing girl.

Follow Li Xiaoxue to learn how to distinguish poisonous mushrooms while picking mushrooms. An hour later, the three of them had a lot of gains, and each of them packed a small half basket.

Half an hour later, it was not early, and the three of them looked at the sky and decided to rest. Xu Qingyan took advantage of the break and began to look around to see if she could find anything useful.

Although it was almost noon, the mountains were full of trees, and the leaves blocked most of the light, and only occasionally a little light was sprinkled through the cracks, so it was a little dim, and the ground was thick with dead branches and mud, and the smell of dampness was exuded.

The three of them rested for half an hour, and then planned to look around to see if there were any mushrooms, and if not, they went back. But at this time, she heard a "cooing" sound, Li Xiaoxue lowered her voice in surprise: "It seems to be the cry of a pheasant, I can hear it so clearly, the pheasant must be nearby, let's not take a look!" After speaking, he was eager to try.

Li Xiaohan and Xu Qingyan glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes, and both nodded in agreement. After making a decision, the three of them began to hold their breath and look around for the source of the sound.

didn't take a few steps, Xu Qingyan's eyes flashed with colorful feathers, and she quickly tugged at Li Xiaoxue beside her excitedly, and then pointed to the place just now, Li Xiaoxue came to her senses, and pulled Li Xiaohan again, and the three of them began to approach the pheasant lightly.

Just when he was only ten steps away from the pheasant, the pheasant, which was originally looking down for food, suddenly noticed that the danger was approaching, and his fluttering wings flew back. The three of them immediately rushed forward to catch up. Although pheasants are not easy to catch, how can you be willing to look at the pheasants in front of you without giving them a try!

The three of them chased the pheasant for a long time, and chased the pheasant around, but they didn't catch it. Just when the three of them were exhausted, the pheasant suddenly burrowed into the bushes, but the pheasant was very stupid, only his head went in, and his body was still fluttering vigorously outside.

The three of them were immediately happy when they saw it, and hurriedly pounced together and caught the pheasant.

"Sister, this pheasant is really stupid, it only burrowed its head into it, and such a big body was left outside, isn't it just waiting for us to catch it! Hahaha, I'm laughing to death....." Li Xiaohan laughed.

"Silly girl, I once heard my father talk about this, saying that if the pheasant is chased, it will panic and burrow into the bushes, but in a panic, it will ignore the tail, and only think about burying its head in it, and leave its body outside, the pheasant at this time is the best to catch."

I saw that we chased it for a long time, but it didn't bury its head, I thought I couldn't catch it! Unexpectedly, a surprise came in a blink of an eye. "The three of them were very happy to catch the pheasant, although the chicken was caught by the three of them together and had to be divided equally, but for the Li family and the Xu family, who rarely eat meat, it was a rare surprise.
