Wei Lan thought that Gu Chao was back, but there was no one in the room.

"Sister Lan, I'll go to the mountains to collect firewood, do you want to go with you?"

You Lan didn't know where to come out, and looked at Wei Lan, who was standing in front of her brother's room, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Go, I'll clean up, and I'll come."

Wei Lan tugged at the corners of her mouth, and went back to the courtyard to pour the river shrimp into the pot and raise them.

When he was busy, Wei Lan hesitated, and finally picked up the military kettle and unscrewed the cap to take a look, and after faintly seeing the white goat's milk inside, Wei Lan re-screwed the cap.

Then I looked inside the cloth package, and it was a piece of mutton with half of the mutton fat.

Obviously they're all back, but what do you mean by hiding from her?

Wei Lan's lips pursed slightly, and the general put the kettle and mutton into the bucket for water, and then slowly put it into the well, and tied the other end of the rope firmly to the stone pier.

After going back to the house and changing into a linen shirt, and recombing his hair with a neat ball, Wei Lan vacated a large back basket filled with miscellaneous items from the backyard, and then went out with Youlan.

It's been autumn for a while, and I look at the yellow and green mountains and woods behind the tea mountain from a distance, which is very beautiful.

After walking for half an hour, I gradually walked into the mountain, only to find that a thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated on the ground.

Fallen leaves can start a fire, and dead branches are used for cooking on fire, and there are many dead branches halfway up the mountain.

Wei Lan bent down and was about to go over to pick it up, but Youlan grabbed her.

Youlan's little face was full of excitement, and she led Wei Lan to the depths of the mountain forest, "There are many wild fruits in the mountains this season, Sister Lan, let's go inside!" ”

Wei Lan glanced back at the bottom of the mountain, and saw that this small mountain bag was not far from the brigade, and everyone usually collected firewood in this area, so she was a little slack.

Just thinking that there is another mountain behind this mountain, and he is afraid that a large beast will run over here, just in case, Wei Lan still advised: "Just go a little further, don't go too far." ”

"I know! Sister Arashi! Youlan walked happily and smiled strangely, and seemed to be looking forward to the next trip.

The trees wrapped the forest path, Youlan trotted in front and looked left and right, and Wei Lan followed behind with a basket on his back.

The forest is verdant, and in the crevices of fallen leaves, you can occasionally see traces of small animal activities, you can hear the chirping of birds, and you can smell the freshness of the earth and the faint smell of rotting wood before snorting.

After walking on such a forest path, Wei Lan took a deep breath, and the feeling of being close to nature made her whole person relax, and the melancholy that was pressing on her heart dissipated.

The two of them followed the trail all the way, and soon after a turn, the temperature suddenly cooled and the surrounding trees became denser.

Wei Lan was just about to say that it was okay to walk here, but he saw Youlan shout "ah", and then walked into the bushes and disappeared.

"Youlan, wait!"

Wei Lan was worried that something would happen to Youlan, so she could only follow her.

"Sister Lan, look!"

Wei Lan walked through the bushes, which grew densely, and the tiny twigs scratched the skin with a slight tingling.

As soon as Wei Lan reached out to take the fallen leaves on her body, she saw Youlan's face full of joy, and she was holding an object in her hand for her to see.

Orange-yellow, egg-sized, wild persimmon.

Wei Lan pulled out the back basket stuck in it from the bushes, stood still and looked around.

I thought that if I went further inside, the trees would become denser and denser, but I didn't want to, and after drilling through the bushes, the world suddenly opened up.
