Chapter 3 Pick up a beautiful boy
Wubi Mountain covers an area of 300 miles and is endless.
The mountains are rich in resources, all kinds of wild vegetables and herbs are everywhere, and there are also a lot of game, so the nearby villagers like to go to the mountains to pick and hunt.
So much so that there are almost no herbs in sight on the periphery of Wubi Mountain, and if you want herbs, you can only go deeper. However, the depths of the mountain are full of dangers, and people who do not have some skills cannot enter it at all.
Looking at the wild vegetables everywhere, Xia Yan's heart blossomed: "The people here really don't know the goods, so many purslanes are not picked." Great, these are mine. ”
Seeing Xia Yan keep filling the basket with wild vegetables, Xia Huai asked curiously, "Yan'er, what are you doing with so many wild vegetables?" ”
"Take it home and eat it."
"But this thing is not delicious, usually only the hungry people will use it to satisfy their hunger."
"That's what you won't do, I'll make it for my brother and mother when I get home."
When Xia Huai heard Xia Yan say this, he still didn't believe it, but looking at his sister's serious smile, Xia Huai smiled and shook his head.
Xia Yan pouted, seeing that his brother still didn't believe it, so he turned his head and ignored Xia Huai, but he was planning how to surprise him and the Yan family in his heart.
Seeing his sister's cute appearance of pretending to be angry, Xia Huai could only let her pick wild vegetables, and he said to Xia Yan while preparing the tools to make traps: "Then don't run around here, I'll go over there to make traps for you to catch rabbits to eat."
"Okay, I promise not to run around."
Three strokes in the sun, Xia Yan was a little hungry, she raised her head and looked around, instantly stunned, "Where am I?" I just came from that road? What about my brother? Brother, where are you! ”
Xia Yan carried the basket on his back and shouted while finding his way back: "Brother! Elder brother! Where are you? ”
As I walked, I suddenly felt something kicked under my feet. Xia Yan picked up the grass and found a dirty man lying there, and judging from his mud-covered face and figure, he could vaguely identify that it was a teenager.
Seeing that the young man was short of breath, Xia Yan reached out and touched his forehead, "Oops, it's so hot, the temperature of this fever is definitely not low, and if the fever doesn't go away, it will burn stupid." ”
At this moment, Xia Yan heard Xia Huai's shout: "Yan'er, where are you." ”
She immediately replied: "Brother, I'm here, come here, there's a patient here." ”
Hearing Xia Yan's voice, Xia Huai immediately ran over. Before she could blame Xia Yan, she pulled her to the young man's side.
"Brother, you see that his fever is so serious, if he doesn't get rid of the fever, he will become stupid and even die, shall we take him home?"
Xia Huai wanted to refuse, but when he saw his sister's begging eyes, he swallowed back the words that had just reached his mouth, and could only reply: "Okay, come, help him on my back, and I will carry him back." ”
Back at home, Gan was not at home. Xia Yan asked Xia Huai to put the boy on the bed, and asked him, "Brother, do we have wine at home?" ”
"There is an altar that was left by my father before, and it was hidden by my mother and said that I wanted to keep a memorial, and I have been putting it for many years."
"Bring the jar of wine, hurry up, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it any longer, I'll go get a basin of water."
Xia Huai reluctantly went to the backyard, dug out the wine that the Yan family had treasured for many years, took it into the house and said to Xia Yan: "Our family can just use this jar of wine, how can we explain when my mother comes back and gets angry." ”
"I'll talk about it when my mother comes back, it's important to save people now." As he spoke, Xia Yan took off the young man's clothes, dipped the wine and began to wipe the young man's chest vigorously.
Xia Huai frowned when he saw this, and said to Xia Yan: "It is said that good men and women are not kissed, although you are still young, sister, but how can you marry after you touch a strange man and are known by others." ”
"How can there be so many rules, how old am I, besides, this is taking advantage of others, I don't suffer, don't pay attention to it so much, it's important to save people, brother, you turn him over, I want to wipe his back."
The toughness of his sister made Xia Huai powerless to refute, so he could only let it go. He secretly swore in his heart that he must hide the fact that Xia Yan wiped the young man's body and not let anyone know.
The brother and sister were busy for more than an hour, and the boy's body temperature finally showed signs of decreasing with the volatilization of alcohol. Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, covered the boy with the quilt and wiped the sludge off his face.
With this rub, Xia Yan was stunned. She had never seen such a good-looking person, and all the stars she had seen before the crossing were not so good-looking.
The sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the bridge of the nose is high, the mouth is like a peach petal, plus the pale cheeks caused by the disease, there is an indescribable morbid beauty, Xia Yan only feels that all the beautiful adjectives in the world are not too much to use on him.
Seeing Xia Yan standing there in a daze, Xia Huai couldn't help asking, "Yan'er, why is your face red, is it because he is too sick, I will throw him out." ”
"Brother, don't, I'm fine, it's just that I overworked just now, it's a little hot, just take a rest. Let him sleep here, and we'll go out. Before the words fell, Xia Yan ran out with a shyness on his face.
"Huh? Yan'er, you're so strange today. ”
Xia Yan soaked to the well, washed his face with water, and took a picture of the basin, laughing at himself: "Xia Yan, Xia Yan, you are not ashamed, you are excited to see good-looking people like this, people in their twenties, blushing at a teenage doll, people are still a child, you are so ashamed, if you see an adult, do you want to pounce directly?" Besides, look at the way you look now, can you be worthy of him? ”
Xia Yan patted his face again, and secretly cheered up: "Cheer up, Xia Yan, you are just a nymphomaniac." Before you become beautiful and beautiful and become a real lady, you will definitely not meet true love, Xia Yan, come on. ”
Just as he was thinking about it, a spatial prompt came from his mind: "The space crops are ripe, please come and pick them quickly." ”
"Why don't you harvest the seeds automatically? Is it only grass that can be automatic? Enter the space. ”
When you enter the space, you will see a piece of emerald green, snow-white radishes buried in the ground, row by row, very even.
Xia Yan pulled out a white radish, wiped it, and looked.
Oh, I saw that the rhizome of this radish was thick and strong, and the leaves were long and green, like the feathers of a big rooster.
Xia Yan couldn't help but take a bite, the crisp taste greeted her, crisp and sweet, and after the sweetness, there was a moderate spicy taste that filled the mouth, but it was not as stimulating as garlic.
This crispy and sweet and spicy feeling made Xia Yanren eat a few more bites: "This is simply the best radish I have ever tasted, I want to bring some back for my mother and brother to taste." ”
After putting away the remaining white radishes and carrots and putting them in the warehouse, and buying some seeds to plant, Xia Yan held a radish and silently recited "exit the space", and then opened his eyes, and a watery radish appeared in Xia Yan's arms.
Xia Yan happily found Xia Huai, held the radish in front of him and said, "Brother, look at this radish is good-looking, it looks delicious, right, let's eat it together when my mother comes back in the evening." ”
Xia Huai glanced at the things in Xia Yan's hand, he seemed to have never seen it, and asked suspiciously: "Yan'er, what is a radish, can you eat it, you won't get sick if you eat it, although the food at home is not enough, but you can't eat everything." Even if you dig wild vegetables, it's better not to touch this kind of thing of unknown origin. ”
After listening to Xia Huai's words, Xia Yan was surprised in his heart and asked, "We don't have this kind of plant here?" ”
Xia Huai patiently replied: "Anyway, I haven't seen it, or you can ask her when my mother comes back." ”
The brother and sister waited and waited, and in the evening, Yan's handbag finally returned home. The brother and sister hurriedly surrounded them, Xia Huai took the package, and Xia Yan said coquettishly: "Mother, where have you been, my brother and I have been waiting for you for an afternoon." ”
Yan smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "My mother went to the town to catch the market, sold the handkerchief embroidered before, and bought some food by the way. ”
"Mother, I'm looking for a radish in the mountains, my brother said he has never seen it, mother, come and see." With that, Xia Yan brought the radish to Yan's face.
Yan Shi stared at the radish, shook his head and said to Xia Yan, "Mother hasn't seen it either, what is this for?" ”
Xia Yan patiently explained: "This is eaten, this is called radish, also known as 'little ginseng', eat radish in winter and garlic in summer, this is especially suitable for winter." ”
Yan sneered after hearing this: "How can ginseng be so big, this is much more than ginseng." What is garlic? Yan'er, where did you know so many strange names? ”
"Mother, on the day I was injured and unconscious, an old fairy told me a lot of delicious food in my dream, and told me what to do."
Looking at Xia Yan's serious look, Yan Shi couldn't refute it, so he could only say: "Then Yan'er, you go and do it, let's go find a chicken to feed it first." ”
"Mother, don't be so troublesome, I've already eaten it, don't you think I'm not good, this can be eaten raw, mother, you can take a bite and taste it."
Hearing that Xia Yan had already eaten this thing without authorization, Yan was a little angry, and her expression was slightly angry: "Yan'er, how can you eat things indiscriminately, what should I do if I eat my body." ”
Seeing that Yan's was angry, Xia Yan immediately pulled her sleeve and coquettishly: "I know Mother, I won't eat indiscriminately in the future, don't be angry, okay." I'm going to cook for my mother and brother. ”
She walked into the kitchen with a radish in her arms, found a green onion in the kitchen, took out a carrot from the space, cut them into shreds and put them on a plate, sprinkled some salt on them, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil. Looking at the salt and oil tanks that were almost empty, and the rice tanks that had bottomed out, Xia Yan secretly vowed that he must let his family live a good life.
Xia Yan walked to Yan and Xia Huai with a plate like a treasure, and looked at them expectantly: "Mother, brother, try it quickly." ”
The mother and son picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they all praised it: "It's so delicious, crispy and delicious, and there is a faint sweetness and spiciness. What's the name of this dish? ”
"This dish is called cold salad and three silks, and it was taught to me by my fairy grandfather."
Xia Huai shuddered: "It's just that this dish is a little cool to eat, and it is not suitable for the current weather, and I feel a little cool after eating." Also, what's the red one? ”
Xia Yan pointed to the red filaments and said, "That one is called a carrot, and I also found it in the mountain." These radishes can be stewed and eaten, or they can be boiled and drunk, and the radishes are appetizing and consumed, which is very beneficial to the body. Mother, let's boil radish porridge and drink it at night. ”
Yan touched Xia Yan's head and said lovingly, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Xia Yan, who had a smile on her face, suddenly remembered something, looked at Yan with a weak heart and said, "By the way, mother, my brother and I rescued a teenager, and now he is lying in my brother's house, do you want to go and see it." That young man's body is so hot, in order to cool him down, I used the wine that my mother hid, mother, you won't be angry. ”
"My mother is not angry, the wine is just for a souvenir, and now I use it to save people, and it has a better use, how can my mother be angry?"
Xia Yan happily pulled Yan and walked towards Xia Huai's house: "I know that my mother is the kindest person in the world, let's go and see if he is awake." ”
Yan walked to the young man's side, looked at the young man, and was suddenly stunned and didn't speak.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why was it suddenly in a daze. ”
