Chapter 14: Adventures in the Bamboo Forest
Ye Chunni rolled her eyes in her heart.
This dog is thin and not smart, is it good for her to poison it? And wasted a peanut candy on her. I have seen the delusion of victimization, but I have never seen such a serious paranoia of Granny Ding.
She complained in her heart, her face was still smiling, and at the same time she handed over the flashlight and peanut candy: "Granny Ding, thank you for the flashlight you borrowed last night, I returned it to you, I went into the city in the morning to buy some peanut candy, please accept it if you don't dislike it." ”
Granny Ding snorted coldly from her nose: "If you want to poison my dog, you still want to poison me, an old woman?" ”
Ye Chunni: "......"
I finally knew why this old woman was far away from the village, and chose to live alone in a place where there was no store in front of the village and no store in the back, two and a half of the three sentences were speculation that others had malicious intentions, and it was strange that the neighbors could stand it.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunni looked up at the house where Granny Ding lived without a trace.
I couldn't see it clearly in the middle of the night last night, but now after seeing it clearly, I call it a good guy in my heart.
Don't look at Granny Ding's house in such a desolate place, and it is not bad. At a glance, the building materials are made of blue bricks and stones, and the house is boxy, which is very large in the past.
Compared with the old house she lived in, it really became a turtle house.
Looking a little further, there was a black 28-inch Phoenix bicycle parked in the yard.
Gee.
The Phoenix card in the 80s is equivalent to a face, and the head rate is leveraged when riding out.
Granny Ding is a lonely old man, and there are still such objects at home, which is really curious.
But Ye Chunni has never been a curious person, and after a quick look at the yard, her gaze was withdrawn, and she looked at Granny Ding viciously.
"What do your eyes look at?"
Granny Ding stood in front of her, blocking most of her sight, "Are you trying to plot my old woman's things?" ”
Ye Chunni pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, and stuffed the flashlight and peanut candy into Granny Ding's arms at the same time: "Peanut candy is so sweet, thank you again for Granny Ding's flashlight." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Granny Ding to react, she had already walked quickly towards the bamboo forest.
Tsk, this old woman's temper is strong enough, and she wants to eat people anytime and anywhere. Of course, she is not cheap, she has to use her hot face to stick a cold ass, but what she wants to do next will pass by the door of Granny Ding's house from time to time, thinking that it is always right to deal with each other.
Looking at the back of Ye Chunni walking into the dense bamboo forest, Granny Ding stood in place and stared at it for a long time, until she couldn't see it anymore, she threw the peanut candy in her hand to the ground and called the big yellow dog, "Come and eat." ”
--
After Ye Chunni got into the bamboo forest, her eyes seemed to be equipped with radar, and she began to search for bulging and cracked soil on the ground.
She had planned that before she could figure out a way to make the earthworms quickly turn into earth dragons, she could dig spring bamboo shoots and sell them in the city to make a wave of seasonal business money.
After the beginning of spring, the so-called "taste of fresh spring bamboo shoots". At that time, even Tang Taizong thought about the spring bamboo shoots, and was fascinated by the "fresh mirror", and every year the spring bamboo shoots were listed, and the ministers were summoned to the bamboo shoot banquet.
It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, spring bamboo shoots have a certain market value on the dinner table.
Ye Chunni picked up a half-human-high stick, knocked on the soil from time to time, and squatted down and dug a few times from time to time.
This bamboo forest is large and dense, and it is not difficult to find spring bamboo shoots.
But it's not okay to dig all of this kind of bamboo shoots, because this kind of bamboo shoots grow half an arm high, and the taste will be a little dry.
On the contrary, the kind of bamboo shoots that emerge are crisp and tender, and the price can be high.
Ye Chunni took a big turn in the bamboo forest, dug up a few bamboo shoots that came out, and also found the bamboo shoots that had just broken the ground.
It is said that this kind of thing is all based on experience, and gradually, she also figured out the growth law of bamboo shoots: as long as you find a blue-green bamboo whip, there must be bamboo shoots within a meter range!
The more she dug the more she dug the more smoothly she lost the time, until the sun set, the light in the bamboo forest slowly dimmed, and there were more bamboo shoots piled up around her, and it seemed that it was difficult to get them all back with two hands alone.
Ye Chunni stood up and stretched.
"Shhh
I didn't feel it when I was squatting just now, but now that I moved, the bones in my whole body seemed to be about to fall apart, and she was so sore that she bared her teeth.
She stood still and stretched her limbs a few times, rubbed her calves again, and was struggling with whether to carry the bamboo shoots back in several trips, or go back to get the basket and load it back once.
Suddenly, a slight groan of pain rang out.
In the lonely and dim dense bamboo forest, this painful groan seemed to come from another world, which seemed abrupt and weird, and people's scalps were numb when they heard it.
Ye Chunni quickly turned her head to look over, "Who is over there?" ”
Her voice was neither big nor small, echoing through the bamboo forest.
The surroundings fell silent again, as if the slight sound had been just her auditory hallucination.
But Ye Chunni knew very well that it was impossible for her to hallucinate.
She glanced at the bamboo shoots piled on the ground, picked up the stick in her hand and weighed it a few times, involuntarily held her breath, and approached the shadow not far ahead, step by step.
The forest was silent, her steps were slow and light, and she couldn't help but wonder what if she saw a mountain beast.
Wild boars, for example?
But will the wild boar come down the mountain to the village? Possibly, after all, people will look for food everywhere when they are hungry, let alone mountain beasts.
I remembered the old news I had read before, saying that some hungry wild boars would take the initiative to go down the mountain to attack the villagers in order to forage for food......
The stick in Ye Chunni's hand couldn't help but clench tighter, and dense beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
One step, two steps, closer.
"Whew..."
A low moan of pain rang out again, this time clearer than before!
Ye Chunni took a deep breath, clenched the stick with both hands, stepped forward suddenly, and shouted at the highest volume:
"Who's here?"
In the next second, she saw a flower in front of her eyes, and looked at a huge black shadow lying in the bamboo forest in disbelief.
……
Liang Liying squeezed the lard at home, and she was reluctant to pour out the remaining black oil residue, so she carefully packed it on a plate.
When stir-frying vegetables, put a few grains of oil residue, which is not only fragrant but also saves some oil.
The rice was steamed and the vegetables were fried, but Chunni hadn't come back yet.
"Does it take that long to return the flashlight?"
Liang Liying wiped her hands on her apron, and walked to the door a little uneasily to look out, could it be that Granny Ding was really embarrassed by Chunni, right?
She was a little worried, and was about to go out to find someone, when she saw Ye Chunni walking back briskly from a distance.
"Chunni," Liang Liying hurriedly called her, "Come and eat." ”
"Mom, you eat first, don't wait."
Ye Chunni walked straight into the house without raising her head, picked up the basket she bought in the city during the day, and threw a few things into it.
"I'm out for a bit of an affair and I'll be back soon."
