Chapter Twenty-Nine: Into the Mountain!
After sending Fu Jingchao away, Shen Xingwan hid his bag and returned to the thatched house, and everyone squatted in front of the cauldron to drink porridge.
Zhang handed her a bowl, "Drink, after drinking, my mother will take you up the mountain today." ”
Although this side is close to the Jiangnan water town, the small village where the Shen family is located is backed by a big mountain, and there is a river running through it at the foot of the mountain, which is a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Although the villagers are not very wealthy, they benefit from the unique geographical location, and basically everyone can fill their stomachs with a little diligence.
"Wow, it's going up the mountain." Shen Xiaoguo was the first to cheer.
"Ah Yu will also go, and you will all go with your mother today." Shen Tang instructed, "I'll go to the town today to find a house and settle the matter of the house as soon as possible." ”
Shen Xingwan touched the bag in his arms, hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
She had money, but she didn't want to give it too easily.
The heart of defense is indispensable, she doesn't want to evolve into everyone gnawing her and sucking her blood.
Working together for common prosperity is the right way.
After this period of observation, she still believes in Shen Tang's ability, so she will wait to see what Shen Tang is looking for.
After eating, everyone quickly split up.
Shen Tang went to the town, and the Zhou family stayed in the thatched house to take care of the eldest girl and take care of the house.
Zhang and Shen Yu led a few small ones up the mountain.
Along the way, they met many villagers and asked them where they were going.
Zhang replied with a smile, "Take advantage of the good weather to take the children up the mountain to find something to eat to fill their stomachs." ”
Everyone showed sympathetic eyes, comforted a few words, and when they were working in the fields, they gossiped about the Shen family's affairs in the past few days.
Zhang and Shen Yu both carried a basket on their backs, Shen Xiaoguo carried a basket, he was strong since he was a child, and he rushed to the front alone and ran like joy.
Erya looked thin and small, accustomed to work since childhood, and walked quickly, her face was not red and she was not panting.
Only Shen Xingwan was a waste fish, and he had climbed less than halfway, sitting on the side of the road, panting, his legs were weak, and his eyes were black.
"Wanwan, are you okay?" Zhang looked at her worriedly, a little self-reproachful, "I shouldn't have brought you here." ”
"I'm fine, just sit down for a while and relax." Shen Xingwan said with a red face.
Shen Yu glanced at her round body, weighed it, and estimated that he couldn't carry it.
glanced around, found a branch, held one end for himself, and handed it to Shen Xingwan at the other, "Pull, I'll take you away, you save some effort." ”
Shen Xingwan nodded hurriedly.
"Why are you so wasteful?" Fat Meow said with disdain on the side.
Shen Xingwan said speechlessly, "Who let me have a waste system, and Miss Ben has never suffered like this." ”
"Let's go." Shen Xing rested for a while, and said a little embarrassed.
After stopping and stopping along the way, I finally climbed the mountain.
Wild flowers, wild grasses and wild fruits, green trees, the scenery is very beautiful, but unfortunately Shen Xingwan just wants to lie down immediately.
Zhang took a few children and began to cook wild vegetables.
After Shen Xingwan came to his senses, he leaned over to Erya and said, "Erya, you teach me to recognize wild vegetables." ”
Erya likes Shen Xingwan very much, thinks she is cute and beautiful, not at all like the eldest sister who never plays with them, and dislikes them very much.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Erya said happily.
There are only a few kinds of things that are often picked, and Shen Xingwan quickly got to know them, and they also picked them.
While picking, Zhang carefully observed the surroundings.
Basically sure that there was no one around, then he mysteriously said to a few children, "Come with me and take you to a special place." ”
Zhang led the way in front, and several children obediently followed.
Soon Shen Xingwan was completely stunned, and he didn't know where he was going.
Zhang walked in front with great skill, crossed mountains and mountains, drilled through countless woods, and finally stopped at a deserted address.
Zhang pointed to the green grass in a place and saw that it looked a little like a kind of grass like shallots, "This is a rush grass, which can be used as medicine, and the grass pith inside can also be used as a wick, which can be lit up after being soaked in oil, and can be lit at night." ”
Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "Is that something that can be sold for silver?" ”
Zhang looked at the rush grass that was growing well and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it can be sold to the medicine store, everyone harvests together, remember not to break the stems, and try to ensure the integrity." ”
The Shen family is harsh, and Su Jingyi has not been good since she was a child. It just so happened that the Zhang family was born in a family of Orions on the mountain.
So I often go up the mountain with Shen Tang to find food and everything that can be exchanged for money.
The mountain was almost as clear to them, and it wasn't without danger that their lives hung by a thread.
But thinking about the children at home, the two could only grit their teeth and continue to insist.
Erya looked at Zhang timidly, "Uncle, can I cut it too?" ”
Zhang touched her head lovingly, "Of course you can, the money you cut and sell will be yours." ”
Erya's face turned red with excitement, and she waved her sickle and cut it.
Zhang and Shen Yu also put down their baskets and began to cut the corduroy seriously, and the forgotten Shen Xingwan was very consciously rubbed over and asked, "Mother, do you need my help?" ”
Zhang said to her while harvesting quickly, "No, you haven't used a scythe, be careful of hurting yourself." ”
"Xiaoguo, come and take your sister to play!"
"Hey!"
After a while, Shen Xiaoguo ran out of the woods like a whirlwind.
looked at Shen Xingwan and said reluctantly, "You come with me, I'll take you to pick up bird eggs, pick wild fruits, and dig rabbit nests." ”
Shen Xingwan was ready to move, she had never played these in her two lives combined.
looked at Shen Xiaoguo with adoring eyes, "Second brother, you are so amazing!" ”
Shen Xiaoguo was instantly happy, the peacock tilted his head like opening the screen, and said arrogantly, "Then you have to follow me, I don't care if you get lost." ”
Shen Xingwan nodded and followed him obediently.
It's a pity that the imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.
Shen Xiaoguo jumped up and down like a monkey, energetic and didn't feel tired at all.
And Shen Xingwan's body was simply pampered, and she was already tired enough to climb the mountain.
Soon he couldn't keep up with Shen Xiaoguo.
"I can't do it anymore." Shen Xingwan wiped the sweat on his forehead with his chubby hand, found a lawn and lay down directly.
Sure enough, it is still the happiest salted fish, woo woo woo.
"Why are you so useless?" Shen Xiaoguo saw that she didn't follow, so he ran back and squatted next to her, frowning at her.
Shen Xingwan was coquettish without any burden in her heart, "But I'm really tired, and my feet hurt so much." ”
"Then you stay here obediently, don't run around, and remember to shout for help in case of danger."
Shen Xiaoguo instructed, but soon he didn't know where to run.
Shen Xingwan lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and made up his mind that he had to do business.
Otherwise, she would have exhausted herself to death sooner or later, by digging herbs and digging ginseng, like farming, or picking up such and such a fortune in the mountains.
