It had just rained, and the air in the mountains and forests was humid and fresh.

The road was drenched with water, and the moss at the roots of the big trees soaked up the rainwater, squeezing out one fat mushroom after another.

Next to the mountain road, orange-yellow lantern flowers were also hung on the ramps, like shaking golden bells.

Jin Xiaolou carried a basket and picked it up from under the Masson pine trees.

The whole pine mushroom at the root of the masson pine is carrot-colored, and the cap is flat and thick, and the pattern is like the growth rings of a pine tree.

This mushroom has thick flesh, tender and fresh taste, and is very refreshing. Jin Xiaolou once specialized in the study of pine lactation mushrooms, and measured them with a food composition analyzer in the laboratory, which is not only delicious and delicious, but also rich in nutrients, and has certain medicinal value.

This is nature's delicacy, Jin Xiaolou originally wanted to pick some wild fruits and make a wild mountain fruit pizza, but he knew that he had encountered so many mushrooms, so he naturally decided to make mushroom pizza.

After walking for a while, the basket was filled with all kinds of mushrooms.

I was about to walk back, but suddenly I saw a large patch of white thatch.

Jin Xiaolou knows a lot about these wild grasses, a large number of them grow together, and the dense bushes are intertwined, so the grass is hidden and warm, which is the best choice for some pheasants and wild birds to nest.

Jin Xiaolou put the basket aside and pulled two sticks of grass to tie his trouser legs.

There are many insects and ants in the field, and if you don't fasten your trouser legs, you don't know what insects will burrow into them.

Then he took a dead stick and went out into the grass.

The wild thatch grows unscrupulously, almost as tall as Jin Xiaolou, shuttling through it, unable to see the road ahead, and can only rely on sticks to poke the ground and touch forward.

I don't know how long I have been running, but I still haven't found anything, let alone the bird's nest, and I haven't even seen a single bird feather.

Jin Xiaolou just wanted to give up, but when he turned around, his eyes swept and he became happy.

A bird's nest made of white thatch was a meter away from her left.

Jin Xiaolou touched it, only to find that the mother bird was not there, and there were more than a dozen oval, light olive-yellow eggs in the nest.

This is a wild egg.

Jin Xiaolou was overjoyed, reached out and touched the egg was still warm, it seemed that the pheasant mother hadn't gone far, most of them were looking for food.

Jin Xiaolou knew that once the pheasant found that someone had touched his eggs, he would destroy all the eggs in the nest and make up another nest.

Jin Xiaolou adheres to the principle that he can't waste it, and for the sake of Lin'er, he has to work hard for the pheasant mother.

She carefully picked up the wild eggs one by one and put them in her arms, a total of eighteen.

After figuring it out, I returned the same way I had stepped on.

She felt as if she hadn't been in the woods for long, but as soon as she got out of the woods, it was getting dark.

My stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Jin Xiaolou returned to the small courtyard with the basket, and there was already a fire in the stove house, but there was no one inside.

Jin Xiaolou put down the basket and wild eggs, and returned to the house, only to see a small cradle hanging in the middle of the house.

A cloth strap fell around the beams, and a bamboo basket was tied at the bottom end.

Lin'er was lying in the basket covered with a small quilt, and Gui Zhi sat in front of the bed, gently pushing the small cradle, humming a song that Jin Xiaolou had never heard, which made Lin'er giggle.

"Guizhi, where did this cradle come from?"

Jin Xiaolou asked as he entered the room.

Gui Zhi lowered his head and smiled, and two shallow pear vortices surged up: "How is this thing?" It took me a day to do it today. ”

"Oh my God, Guizhi, you're such a genius!" Jin Xiaolou couldn't wait to hug her.

With this little cradle, it really liberates the hands of mothers!

Gui Zhi became more and more happy: "I saw a bamboo forest growing next to the forest, so I cut the bamboo and made a basket, originally thinking that it would be used as a small bed for Lin'er to sleep, but later I saw that Lin'er likes to be held and dangled around, so it is better to cut two straps and tie them to the beams of the house to make it look like this." ”

Gui Zhi shook the small cradle: "In this way, there is no need to hold and shake, which not only saves effort, but also makes Lin'er comfortable." ”

"But the beams of this house are so high, Guizhi, how did you tie them?" Jin Xiaolou asked.

Gui Zhi raised his eyebrows: "It's not simple, a stone is tied to one end of the cloth belt, and it will pass if you throw it away!" ”

The two giggled for a while, and Jin Xiaolou went to the stove room and looked at the dough that had been covered in the morning.

I pressed it lightly, but before it had risen, I put the dough aside again.

took out the rice that had already been cooked in the pot, poured hot oil and fried a pine milk mushroom, a wild egg, and steamed a bowl of fragrant egg custard for Lin'er, and the fragrant two dishes were served on the table, and the three of them were full of food.

Guizhi's fever had completely subsided, and she didn't cough much, she said that she would go to wash the dishes anyway, but Jin Xiaolou couldn't resist her, so she took the wild egg that had just been broken, pulled out the eggshell membrane and carefully pasted it on the blisters on Lin'er's hands and feet.

By the time Gui Zhi came in, it was already dark.

Jin Xiaolou and they don't have any lamps and candles, only a lantern brought over yesterday, which has been almost used.

As soon as it got dark, nothing could be done, and only Lin'er's slurred voice was left in the black touch.

Jin Xiaolou opened her round eyes and blinked in the dark, she was not used to going to bed so early, how could she sleep at six or seven o'clock?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Guizhi: "Do you know which family in the village raises cattle?" ”

After asking, he added: "Cow." ”

Gui Zhi was stunned: "Why are you asking this?" Cow...... It was only raised by Grandma Zheng's family in the west of the village, and there was only one Grandma Zheng left in their family, and there was no one to plough the land, so they used the ploughing cow to go to the town and exchange for a cow to come back, which was used to give birth to calves. ”

Gui Zhi continued: "Grandma Zheng's cow just gave birth to a cub a few days ago, and she exchanged food with Lizheng's family for half a year. ”

"Really? That's great! Jin Xiaolou stretched out his hand and poked the cinnamon branch, "When Lin'er falls asleep, let's run out!" ”

"Run...... ...... run out? Gui Zhi was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Grandma Zheng's house and milk the cow!" Jin Xiaolou's tone couldn't hide the excitement.

This feeling is too similar to when I was in high school, after the lights went out in the dormitory, I sneaked out to play with the dormitory manager aunt behind my back.

"Milking cows?" Gui Zhi stretched out his hand and put it on Jin Xiaolou's forehead.

Gui Zhi's hand was warm and soft, and as soon as he put it up, Jin Xiaolou's cold forehead became hot.

"Xiaolou, you won't be sick by me, and you also have a fever, right? It's all starting to talk nonsense. Gui Zhi touched it repeatedly, "It's not hot." ”

Jin Xiaolou tore Gui Zhi's hand off: "No nonsense, let's go milk to make cheese!" ”

"It's dark, every family in the village is asleep, who knows what we did in the dark!" Jin Xiaolou egged on Guizhi, "Besides, don't you want to eat cheese?" The pizza is also even better with cheese. ”

Gui Zhi was puzzled: "Xiaolou, where do you know so many strange things?" What cheese is, I haven't heard or heard. ”

"If you don't know, you'll have to try it even more." Jin Xiaolou listened to Lin'er's movements, "Let's go, Guizhi, there are a lot of things you don't know, follow me, I'll take you to try them one by one!" ”

Gui Zhi was a little scared and a little apprehensive, but Jin Xiaolou held his hand and let him out.

The night sky after a rainstorm with twinkling stars.

Under the twinkling stars, the white camellia was touched by the two girls who rushed by.

Just ran past a clump of wild potatoes, Jin Xiaolou pulled the cinnamon branch back again, and took advantage of the moonlight to pick two wide round leaves of the yams.

Jin Xiaolou folded the leaves, folded them into a small hat, put them on his and Gui Zhi's heads, and said with a smile: "Disguise it." ”

Gui Zhi scratched Jin Xiaolou's nose, this little girl, there are more ghost ideas recently. But Guizhi likes the current Jin Xiaolou, so warm, smart and clear, like bubbling mountain spring water.

Unlike in the past, if you are silent for a long time and don't say a word, you will only be oppressed by others.

The two men walked through the fields and entered the village, and as soon as they entered, the village dogs barked in twos and threes.

It's just that the dog barks on its own, and no one gets up to check.

After crossing most of the village, the two of them touched the back of the stone mill at Grandma Zheng's house.

Grandma Zheng didn't have a dog, only a cow, which was kept in the cowshed next to the house.

Jin Xiaolou took out the wooden barrel prepared in advance, took a deep breath, and ran into the cowshed.

Huang Guizhi was scratching her ears and cheeks outside the cowshed, she had heard of this milking for the first time in her life, the cow was so strong, if she accidentally hurt the cow and kicked it, how could she get it.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the cow moo in the cowshed.

Gui Zhi immediately covered his chest, extremely nervous.

Jin Xiaolou's voice came from inside: "Don't be afraid, Niu woke up, she is very well-behaved and docile." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an oil lamp in the room pop on.
