"I'll go to the front and pick it up, wait for me here!" Asa took the snakeskin bag and ran quickly into another wood.

The forest is full of gray chicken leg mushrooms, which are huge in shape, but the roots have begun to breed insects, and the umbrella-like parts are slowly rotting.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is rising, and the best time to pick mushrooms is getting less and less.

She could only pick and choose back and forth, and the good mushrooms she could pick up became less and less.

There is an intersection in the woods, and there is a deep forest under the slope of the intersection.

Qianqian stood at the entrance of the forest and hesitated to go in, but saw several student-like people walking out of the forest one after another.

One of the girls glanced towards where Asa was standing, and then followed the other boys into another wood.

They talked as they walked: "That Lili from Zhaozhuang Village was sent to a mental hospital in the city this morning, and her family said that she should be tested, and if she failed the test, she had a mental problem."

"How so? Wasn't it good some time ago? ”

"I don't know, I heard that Wenwen, her best friend, was buried a few days ago."

"So evil?"

"Hmm!"

A few people talked slowly, and gradually disappeared into the woods.

Listening to their conversation, she was shocked.

She didn't want to go to the forest to pick up mushrooms again, so she returned to her grandmother with half a bag of mushrooms.

"Can't pick it up, shallow?" Mrs. Zhang Shanxian sat in the woods, the breeze gently blowing her short black hair, her face was pale, and a few wrinkles told the traces of time.

"The mushrooms at this time are all rotting with worms."

"Then let's go home!"

"Hmm!"

The two of them sorted everything out, and then dragged the bag down the hill with a smile and a smile.

Walk through the woods and over the mountains. In the meantime, the birds chased and flew in the woods, and the hares leaped like swords. In the woods, no one can keep up with them.

"Grandma, how come there are so many hares in the woods?"

"Hmmm! Our woods are pristine and well-preserved, and there are many wild animals. ”

"The hare is running so fast!"

"Of course, my cousin Yulin goes to the woods every day to put rat traps, and he can catch a few hares every day."

"Oh!"

When the two walked down the mountain, they passed by Zhang Bing's house. Zhang Bing was sitting on the pool outside the door and fighting with his younger brother. He saw Qianqian and Mrs. Zhang Shanxian coming from the hill behind the house, so he immediately jumped into the pool and greeted him.

"Shallow, went mushroom picking again?"

"Hmm!"

"Give it to me, and I'll carry it home." Zhang Bing took the bag in the hands of Qianqian and Zhang Shanxian, and left on his back.

See meet one

Helper, Asa is very happy. She followed carefree, playing as she went.

"Zhang Bing, are you going to pick up so many red mushrooms in your yard?" Mrs. Zhang Shanxian wiped the sweat on her face and asked.

"No, my mom picked it up."

"Where did you pick them up, and how did you pick up so many red mushrooms?"

"It's the mountain on the other side!" Zhang Bing turned his head to the south and returned with a smile.

"Mom? Not at home? ”

"Where's it in the house?"

The two chatted, and several soldiers came from the opposite side, and they greeted Mrs. Zhang Shanxian warmly.

Mrs. Zhang Shanxian stopped and asked them, "Why haven't you seen your troops in the factory recently?"

"It's all in the mountains, where you can train, eat and live."

"Why do you two have time to go down the mountain?"

"Something, auntie, we're leaving."

"Hmm!"

Looking at the figures of the two soldiers, she took the basket from her grandmother's hand, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, why don't they serve as soldiers in their hometowns and come from other places?"

"This is no common sense, and it is not up to them to divide them in the army. In their words, they are bricks, and they are moving wherever they go! ”

"It would be nice to be a soldier in your hometown!"

"What's the point of being a soldier!"

Chatting with Zhang Bing, he unconsciously came to the pear grove residence, at this time, it was the season for pears to bear fruit. Rows of pear trees are full of green fruits.

On the edge of the pool under the pear tree, a gray squirrel stood on it and looked at the approaching humans. Panicking, it jumped out of the pool and into the woods in an instant.

"What a big squirrel, look at its tail!" With a shallow look of surprise, she put down the basket, stood under the tree, reached out and picked a pear and took a bite. A sour taste instantly spread in her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Bing grinned and reached out to pick one. He put it on his mouth and took a bite, his eyes lit up and said, "Well, this is good, it tastes sweet and sour." Grandma, do you want to eat it? ”

Mrs. Zhang Shanxian waved her hand, smiled and said, "No, I'm too old to eat sour."

"The big one isn't sour, I'll pick the big one, right?"

"No, I don't eat the big ones, my teeth can't work. Let them grow longer, and after a few days, the sourness will be lighter. ”

"yes, okay."

As they spoke, they stood on the edge of the pool, unscrewed the hose and washed their feet. Nibbling on a pear in her mouth, she sat on the pool and let the white, clear water run down.

Xu is pear was sour, she took another bite and threw the half-pulled pear directly on the ground.

"Grandma, the water in Lilinju is so cool?"

"Of course, this is mountain spring water, which is naturally cool." Zhang Shanxian said in a slow tone,

Walked slowly to the old house where I had lived before.

The windows inside were worn out, and the wooden doors of every room were hidden.

She pushed open one of the doors, revealing a worn-out wooden bed and a wooden bench. Their existence speaks of the past.

In a remote corner, a meter ruler is forgotten on the ground, the meter ruler is covered with dust, and the sunlight outside the window is refracted on the meter ruler through the window, and a warm feeling silently envelops this corner.

"What are you doing? Grandmother? ”

"Don't do anything, just come in and have a look." Zhang Shanxian turned around and walked out, her heart full of emotion.

Once, in this warm place, her two daughters grew up here, her two sons have been soldiers outside for many years, and occasionally for a while, there will be troops temporarily stationed in the factory, and every scene here tells the past.

It's just that she and her wife are getting older, and it is naturally less fun for the two to live here alone.

So now with the nursing home as a companion, everything in daily life has become much more meaningful.

In fact, in her heart, her favorite place to live is Lilinju. It's just that the pear forest is uninhabited around it, and it is no longer suitable for living.

Mr. Zhang Qingchen likes to be lively, otherwise the daily boring life will be even more boring.

Now every time I pass by Lilinju, Mrs. Zhang Shanxian's heart is like a movie, and the past comes to mind one by one.
