Chapter 10 This kind of death is absolutely unacceptable
Qin Lang nodded: "You be careful, be careful on the ground and around you, don't be stabbed." β
Su Jin smiled: "Well, you too!" β
The shell of the chestnut is like a hedgehog, it is red, swollen and painful, if it is pricked a few times, it will become inflamed, red, swollen and painful for a long time, not a joke.
Qin Lang opened the way in front, and Su Jin followed behind, coming to a small clearing overgrown with weeds and vines in the middle of the chestnut forest.
Qin Lang trampled all the weeds on the ground, chopped them a few times with a firewood knife, and with the sound of squeaky grass, he quickly cleared out a small flat area.
Then the two put down the basket and went to find the chestnut.
Many chestnuts were blown off by the wind in the grass on the ground, but most of them were wrapped in hedgehog shells, and the thorny shells had to be smashed open to get the chestnuts inside.
There are also many shells and chestnuts that have fallen from the tree, and picking up the dark jujube red chestnuts with shiny skin as if they have been waxed, Su Jin is full of joy.
Of course, there are still many empty chestnut shells on the ground, and many small animals in the mountains have already been taken away by them.
Su Jin passed by very carefully, and used a wooden stick to get as many empty chestnut shells as possible all the way, so that when he looked for it again, he would not be confused and look through it again, and at the same time, the ground was much cleaner and safer.
There are only a few tall chestnut trees, the smaller ones have only leaves left, and the smaller ones have not even borne fruit.
However, the gains of the two are not small.
After looking around, I harvested half a basket of chestnuts.
The heavy ones are all packed in Qin Lang's big back basket.
Qin Lang looked up at the thorn balls hanging on the branches, and said, "I'll go up the tree and knock them down, you stay away!" β
Su Jin responded with a "yes" and hurriedly retreated.
If this is hit on the head and body by a thorn ball, it will tremble when you think about it!
Qin Lang went up the tree with a long wooden stick in his hand, stood on the branch, and hit the thorn balls on the branches, and suddenly there was a burst of fallen leaves accompanied by the sound of crackling thorn balls falling to the ground.
Seeing the thorn balls wrapped in chestnuts rolling to the ground, Su Jinmei smiled, this is all delicious food!
Qin Lang changed a few more positions on the tree, until he knocked out almost all the chestnuts on a big tree, and then he got off the tree.
Su Jin took a look, there were still seven such big trees, if they were all shaken down, Qin Lang's big back basket would be full.
She smiled and said, "If we have a basket full of chestnuts, we can take half of them and sell them in the city, and come back in exchange for some fabric!" β
Qin Lang glanced at her and said, "Well, whatever you want." β
His tone was light, but Su Jin was very happy when he heard it, not every man is willing to say the word "whatever you want" in this poor situation. This is to give her the right to how to live, but he is responsible for the work.
Su Jin's heart warmed, and he smiled: "Let's work hard for two more days to see if we can find any other good things in this forest that can be sold for a few dollars, and we will definitely be able to pass this winter." β
"Hmm." Qin Lang nodded slightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After cleaning up the chestnuts on the three wild chestnut trees, both of them were a little tired, so they planned to eat something before continuing.
By midday the sun will quickly dim and the temperature will drop quickly, and you will have to go back in the afternoon for another hour at most, and come back tomorrow.
Today's lunch is still persimmons.
The persimmon tree at this time of year is particularly conspicuous, with red fruits hanging from its bare trunk.
It's just that the persimmon tree they saw today was a little far away.
But there are a lot more fruits.
Su Jin said that persimmons are easy to break the skin and are not easy to bring, so he insisted on following Qin Lang over, and simply picked them and ate them there, saving trouble.
Sweet persimmons with high sugar content can be a good supplement to energy, and it is good to have something to satisfy your stomach, but there is no room for picking.
There is no need to cut down trees today, Qin Lang can reach out and pick seven or eight trees, and eat them under the tree with Su Jin.
Look at the trees that still hang a lot, but unfortunately they are all ripe, and they can't be brought back, so I have to give up. The road is bound to break the skin, and it will not be able to eat it when the time comes.
Looking at Su Jin's reluctant to look at the red persimmons on the branches, Qin Lang was a little funny, his daughter-in-law's eagerness for food was even more than his! A couple of persimmons are also worth it.
"Don't look at it, let's go! There is nothing else in this mountain, but persimmons are not difficult to find. Qin Lang said with a smile.
Su Jin sighed, "Well, let's leave some for the little animals in the mountains!" β
Thinking about how unwilling he was, he pointed to the woods on the side and smiled: "I saw a lot of oak trees, fir trees, etc., maybe there are mushrooms, let's go and have a look!" β
Qin Lang saw her looking at herself with a pair of beautiful and clear eyes, eager to try with three points of prayer and three points, his heart was soft, and he nodded: "Let's go!" β
As he spoke, he led the way ahead, trampled the weeds and vines under his feet, and cleared the way for her.
This kind of place is almost not walked, where is the ready-made road?
It's the right one.
Although there are basically no mushrooms growing in winter, there are always exceptions.
That kind of wild oyster mushroom grows at exactly this time.
The burnt yellow color, the edges are curled and damaged, and it looks languishing and wilting, and there is no image at all of the plump and plump appearance of fresh mushrooms. However, this is what mushrooms look like at this time.
Su Jin was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, we have a mouthful!" Let's look for some more, take them back to dry, and eat them at any time! β
Qin Lang was skeptical.
"This mushroomβcan you really eat it?"
Why did he think the mushroom looked poisonous?
"Of course you can eat it!" Su Jin was undoubted, and he was extremely sure: "This is oyster mushrooms, very common!" β
Very common? Qin Lang really didn't think so.
"We're not there yet, so I'd better forget it!" Qin Lang hesitated.
Dying on eating mushrooms, this is an absolutely unacceptable way for Qin Lang to die.
"You don't believe me?" Su Jin was a little depressed, "Anyway, if I can eat it, I can, I want to pick it back." β
Qin Lang was stunned, and finally couldn't resist her, so he had to agree.
Su Jin became happy at this time, and the two of them searched in the forest for a long time, and found about twelve or thirteen catties, and went back to the place where they came.
In this way, coupled with some herbs that Su Jin had picked before, the back baskets of the two of them were already full, and they were ready to go back.
"We'll come back tomorrow to collect the rest of the chestnuts." Su Jin said with a smile.
Qin Lang glanced at so many mushrooms and nodded: "Okay, by the way, I'll look for yams again." β
Back here, Su Jin put the mushrooms in a basket one by one, Qin Lang asked her to wait here, picked a direction by himself, and went to the mountains and forests again.
