Chapter 16: Into the Mountains Again
Mother, I was wrong, I don't dare, don't be angry. Xiao Man hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"If you admit your mistakes quickly, you're almost scared to death, do you know how worried I am." As he spoke, Gu Shi burst into tears for two more lines.
Xiao Man twisted his body, coquettishly with Gu's, hugged Gu's and kissed him fiercely.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to wash your face, you're hungry, let's have dinner later."
In the evening, Xiaoman told the whole family about his adventures and discoveries.
"Mother, let's go up in the morning, anyway, there is no more work to do in the field now, and besides, how long can we last with that little food alone." Xiao Man licked his lips and drank saliva, and his mouth was dry for a long time.
"There have been dead people on the mountain, and I've seen bodies torn apart." Gu Dashan spoke cautiously beside him.
"It's okay, I'm almost at the top of the mountain today and there's nothing to do, I saw a wolf still dead, and there is a big white, we just go during the day, we go down the mountain before dark, I found a lot of things to eat on the mountain today, say no
I will definitely be able to sell it and make some money. ”
"I'll go with you tomorrow, and your mother will stay at home and take care of the house if she is not in good health," Gu Dashan made a decision.
Daman also nodded and didn't say anything.
"Mei Niang, we won't be back at noon tomorrow, you prepare some food, we will bring it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait and make a few cakes, and you guys can wash and go to bed early."
After taking a shower, the whole body was refreshed, lying on the bed, I felt that today's bed didn't seem to be so hard, I lifted the mattress and saw the thick straw mat, I remembered the wheat straw that Gu Dashan carried back that day, and I understood it, and rolled happily on the bed a few times.
Da Bai is still sleeping next to Xiao Man's bed, and the puppy is in the basket next to Da Bai, Xiao Man stretches out his head and sees that the little guy is already asleep and snoring.
Suddenly remembered that there was a bag, and the gift given by the young lady had not yet come to look at it urgently, so I sat up and opened the bag.
"Huh", there is a small bag in the bag, this young lady is really interesting, a bag in a bag.
Open the small bag, "Wow, it's actually broken silver, this young lady is really interesting, give gifts to people with broken silver", Xiaoman put the things back in the bag, hugged the bag and turned over to sleep.
It's very safe to sleep with the silver in your arms.
The day was about to break, Gu Dashan, Daman, and Xiaoman went out with baskets on their backs, Dabai ran in front of the three of them, Gu stood in front of the door and watched the three of them go farther and farther, suppressed the worries in their hearts and returned to the house to concentrate on sewing clothes for Xiaoman.
When the three of them went up the mountain, the sun had not fully risen, the fog in the mountain was very heavy, and after a while, the hair and clothes of the three people were wet with dew.
"Here, that's it, brother, you see that this dead wood is full of fungus, this kind of stir-fried cold salad is delicious, and it can be dried and stored."
"This kind of thing is very expensive, I've seen someone in the town take this before." Gu Dashan was also extremely happy when he looked at the things in Xiao Man's hand.
"This one will grow a lot after the rain, especially on the rotten wood, we only pick the big and small ones first, and we will pick them again next time."
After picking the fungus, he moved forward, and the snow-white chicken leg mushrooms, with small umbrellas, grew all over the ground.
Da Man watched Xiao Man harvest chicken leg mushrooms on the ground, "Aren't these poisonous?" Can you eat it? ”
"Oh, don't worry, the poisonous ones are those with very bright colors, don't worry, this is called chicken leg mushrooms, it's delicious."
Dad, you go to the front first, where there are many peach trees, you go to the trees to pick peaches, I will pick mushrooms first, and then I will look for you. ”
Daman went up to the tree, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves under the tree, so I picked the peaches and threw them directly on the leaves.
"Brother, don't just pick the ripe ones, the ones that are ripe can't be left for a few days, pick some slightly harder ones."
Seeing that there were a lot of peach saplings growing under the tree, Xiao Man paid attention: "Brother, is it good for me to dig up a few saplings and plant them at home." ”
"Okay, we'll be digging next time we come, and we're only looking for food today, so we'll be exploring the way."
After the peach forest, it is a stream, there are groups of fish in the stream, Xiaoman took out the pancakes, broke them and threw them in the water, Hula for a while, dozens of fish came to grab food, such a big carp Xiaoman was stunned, such a big one has never been seen.
Xiao Manle was about to go crazy, and called Gu Dashan and Daman to catch fish together.
Xiao Man scattered broken pancakes, Gu Dashan and Da Man took baskets to catch fish in the river, and one basket went down, seven or eight fish.
"We can't fish too much, we just have three baskets for three people, and we can't take away too many things." Gu Daman was unusually calm.
Gu Dashan used branches to thread the fish together, and because it was too heavy, the three of them chose to hang the fish on the tree, intending to come back and get it again.
A big white cry sounded in the forest in front of the "Wangwang ......", and the three of them immediately became alert, and they would not encounter any fierce beasts.
Boom, boom, something came, the three of them didn't dare to move for fear of alarming the beast, and when they saw that it was Da Bai who had been coming with a pheasant in his mouth, the three of them were relieved.
"Da Bai is so powerful," Xiao Man took out the pancake and broke off a large piece of it for Da Bai as a reward.
Putting down the pheasant in his mouth, Da Bai gently took the cake handed by Xiaoman, turned around and went to the forest in front of him, Gu Dashan checked it, the pheasant only hurt his neck, and there was no wound in the rest of the place, "This can be sold for a good price." ”
"Let's follow Dabai, there should be nothing going on ahead."
Gu Dashan took Xiaoman's basket and held it in his hand and nodded.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xiao Man was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, a large bamboo forest, remember the bamboo forest in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is more beautiful than that, lush and green, overlapping and towering and straight, straight into the sky, the breeze sweeps, the bamboo forest is gently swaying, even in the bamboo forest
The air smells very good, and when you walk into the green and shaded bamboo path, you will immediately feel a refreshing pleasure, the red dust is gone, the fatigue is gone, and the heart is a cool world.
Before he could be happy, Xiao Man fell to the ground and tripped over something under his feet.
Da Man hurriedly ran over and helped Xiao Man up.
"It's okay, it's okay," Xiao Man patted the mud on his hand and glanced at the protrusions on the ground.
"Oh, it's bamboo shoots, haha bamboo shoots are also edible." There are so many surprises today, I won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.
Xiao Man found a branch and squatted on the ground to dig up the bamboo shoots, peeled off a layer of shell, and the tender bamboo shoots inside, and couldn't help but kiss it on the bamboo shoot mountain.
Gu Dashan left Daman and Xiaoman behind, and went to the depths of the forest by himself, wanting to see if he could catch some game.
When I am busy, I always feel that time flies, and at noon the sun has completely risen, and the sun shines through the leaves.
The three of them met by the stream, Daman collected a few small fish, lit a fire on the stones, and Xiaoman roasted the fish.
After a while, the fragrance overflowed, and the three of them shared the grilled fish and drank some water.
At this time, Da Bai came back with a rabbit in his mouth, and in order to treat Da Bai, Xiao Man also roasted a fish for Da Bai.
Gu Dashan found that the rabbit was still alive, so he tied the rabbit's legs with a rope and put it in the frame.
