Chapter 41 Dragonbone Mountains
After seeing the same batch of vegetables but growing differently, Shu Nuan already had an answer in his heart, but he still needed to verify it further.
So, she used the candy in her hand to exchange a few sparrows from the naughty children in the village to continue to test her conjecture.
There was no bird cage at home, so she used scissors to cut off the feathers on the sparrow's wings so that it could not fly, then numbered them and put them in the basket.
Subsequently, she buckled her big cat Ah Huang upside down with a basket and temporarily imprisoned him not to be trick-or-treated.
"Ah Huang, good ......"
"Meow ......"
The big cat Ah Huang barked, obviously very reluctantly.
"Good, I'll give you some extra food in the evening."
Shu Nuan reached out and tapped the cat's nose, ruthlessly ignoring the wail behind him.
School will start in a few days, Shu Zheming's winter vacation homework has already been completed, and other friends are not as diligent as him, so he has been locked up at home by his parents to write homework these days.
As soon as Shu Nuan made a move today, Shu Zheming came over curiously.
"Eldest sister, what do you want the sparrow to do?"
"Just look at it."
Shu Nuan didn't explain the reason now, and stopped talking after smiling.
Put the spring water in a bowl, fill a few sparrows with water, and keep a record of the changes and the amount of water fed.
Shu Zheming looked at her move with a blank expression.
Shu Nuan put things away, and then patted the top of his younger brother's hair to remind: "Okay, in the past few days, you have looked at a little rhubarb from our family, and it is not allowed to eat these sparrows." ”
"Got it."
Shu Zheming replied, and then moved a stool and sat next to the imprisoned big cat Ah Huang.
The big cat Ah Huang thought he was going to be released, and excitedly picked it up on the back basket.
"Don't make a fuss."
Shu Zheming put his finger through the gap, and then tapped the cat's ear, obviously not ready to let it out.
"Meow ......"
The big cat Ah Huang screamed in a low voice, and then gave the other party a round back.
On this day, Shu Nuan has been observing these sparrows.
Time slipped away little by little, and the sparrow, which was already in high spirits, was still in that energetic appearance after jumping around for several hours.
"It seems that there is no problem, but we still have to observe for a few more days."
Shu Nuan thought silently in her heart, and then put a few sparrows that were wandering back and forth on the ground into a basket and carried them into the house to prevent them from being harmed by their own cats at night.
As she put away a few sparrows and slowly walked out of the door, Wu Huihong's smiling voice came from behind the courtyard.
"Nuan Nuan, aren't these vegetables you take care of without fertilizer? How do you grow so well? The other vegetables planted in the same batch are only half the size, and this one is ready to eat. ”
"I don't know ...... either"
As soon as Shu Nuan's words were halfway through, he saw his grandmother who was carrying a green vegetable.
"Grandma, you're going to pull out the vegetables?"
Wu Huihong looked at the fresh vegetables in her hands that were verdant and had just been pulled out of the ground: "Yes, it grows so well, wouldn't it be an elder if you don't eat it." ”
Shu Nuan thought about the situation observed in the past few days and the few sparrows that were still bouncing, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and didn't say anything more.
That night, the green cabbage became the protagonist of the dinner table.
After tasting a bite of green vegetables, Wu Huihong smiled and praised: "Nuan Nuan, your skills are getting better and better, this is about to become a teacher, right?" ”
Although Shu Nuan is now working in a restaurant outside, he is still a young chef who has not been taught by the master.
And Shu Zheming, who was at the same table, was also immersed in eating the vegetables on the table, looking like he had a good appetite.
"Eldest sister, the vegetables you fried are delicious. But when will you cook meat and eat it? I want to eat the meat you made. ”
"Children should eat more vegetables, otherwise they will not grow tall."
Shu Nuan stretched out her hand to clip a chopstick dish for her younger brother, and said with a chuckle.
In fact, when the two family members praised her, she also stretched out her chopsticks and picked up the green vegetables to taste the taste, which was indeed better than what she did a few days ago.
But only she knows that she just fried the vegetables simply, and it wasn't too complicated to eat at home.
"Could it be the springs?"
Shu Nuan muttered in a low voice, subconsciously thinking of the spring water that had been poured recently.
Wu Huihong heard her muttering, but obviously didn't hear it very clearly, so she opened her mouth and asked: "Nuan Nuan, what spring water, what do you say?" ”
Shu Nuan came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "It's nothing." Grandma, is there a spring on the keel hill behind us? ”
Dragon Bone Mountain is famous for its mountain-shaped topography, it is a huge mountain range on their side, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, the mountains are densely wooded, there are groups of birds and beasts in the deep mountains, I heard that when there was a famine, the villagers organized to go hunting in the deep mountains, and they encountered black bears and tigers.
Even today, all kinds of pheasants and hares can often be seen on the periphery of the mountains and forests, and as for those carnivores, there are naturally them, but they are only small carnivores, which are not a threat to man-made.
And Shu Da Niu is a ranger guarding the Dragon Bone Mountain Range, often patrolling in the mountains and forests, but in the end he will not go deep into the mountains, after all, when a person walks into the deep mountains, it is completely self-defeating.
In addition to the beasts, the deep mountains will also lose their way, so that they can no longer find their way out.
However, although there are all kinds of unavoidable dangers on the mountain, she still wants to see the spring water on the mountain, she wants to know what is the difference between the mountain spring water and the spring water in her hand, and she can better develop and use it.
The existence of any thing has its necessity, and if one place is not suitable, there will always be other places that can be used.
After Wu Huihong heard her inquiry, her first reaction was not to answer the question, but to persuade her: "Nuan Nuan, there is danger in the mountains, don't go up alone." ”
Shu Nuan knew that the old man was concerned about his own safety, and a trace of warmth crossed his heart.
"Grandma, don't worry, I won't run too far, and I won't go up the mountain alone."
There are villages on the nearby hillsides, so naturally there is no danger, but if she really wants to go to Dragon Bone Mountain, she will definitely have to find someone to take her, and she will not go to the deep mountains, it will be too dangerous.
"If you know, it's good." Wu Huihong breathed a sigh of relief, and then squinted her eyes slightly and recalled the past. "There were so many people who died in that mountain more than ten years ago that many bones were never recovered. Back then, I had no choice but to do it, but now that life is better, don't joke with your life. ”
Shu Nuan actually still has some memories of what happened more than ten years ago, when she was still young, but she remembers the villagers who were waiting for their families to return at the foot of the mountain, but waited for a cold corpse.
After Shu Nuan repeatedly promised that she would not go up the mountain, Wu Huihong slowly recalled for a while and told her the location of several springs she knew.
"I don't have time to go up the mountain recently, so it seems that I have to wait for a while."
Shu Nuan secretly thought about it in his heart, and then had an idea in his heart.
