Chapter 21: I want to take a bath
"Yes, yes, yes, are there a lot?" It was too dark last night, Jing Tian didn't see it clearly, and when he heard his brother say that it was all over the ground, his eyes lit up.
"That's right! The Qiang peach fruit is astringent and hard, and it is useless if you can't eat it, and it is all thrown by children to play. Sister Ran also added beside her.
Huh? Don't people here eat fresh walnuts?
"The fruit is edible, you have to smash the yellow shell open, there are nuts in it, it's delicious!" Jing Tian was excited. Hurriedly beckoned his brother to pick up Qiang peaches with him on his back.
The eldest aunt was busy saying that he couldn't eat anything he hadn't eaten, and the aunt also gave an example of Aunt Niu's child who was sick after eating the wrong thing before.
"Don't worry, Chen Liang ate it yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have the strength to save me from such a serious injury. Definitely edible! Jing Tian couldn't say that he had tasted it, so he threw the pot to Chen Liang, anyway, his temperament, others asked him, he would definitely not be too lazy to poke her.
"Alas...... Wait! The aunt chased Jing Tian out, "Let your brother Da An accompany you." ”
In the end, Jing Tian's team of picking peaches became five people. In addition to Jing Tian and his brother, there are also three sons of the eldest aunt's family.
It's interesting to say.
The name of the child of the eldest aunt's family is also in accordance with the word, and the acquisition is "living and working in peace and contentment, with abundant food and clothing". Needless to say, Jing Tian knows that this must be the handiwork of his own mother!
It's just that the second eldest child of my aunt's family is a girl, who was not raised and died of illness. The four boys are called in turn, Li An, Li Le, Li Ye and Li Feng.
The Niubeiling on which Jingjia Village is backed is a mountain beam that runs east-west, and it is named Niubeiling because it looks like a cow's back from a distance. Jingjia Village is located at the foot of the mountain north of Niubeiling.
The water flowing down from the mountain beam accumulates into a large deep pond between the south and north of the village, which is called the pond.
The Qiang peach forest is on the slope to the west of the pond.
Jing Tian recognized the baby's fist-sized green fruit on the ground at a glance.
In the previous life, fresh walnuts were on the market from July and August every year. Fruit supermarkets, fruit stalls, and even a vendor with two baskets on his bicycle can be bought everywhere.
Merchants use half-moon-shaped knives to break open the green shells on the outside, and then use tongs to crack the fresh walnuts to make it easier for people to eat. The peeled two hemispherical green shells are usually piled up underneath the stalls to prove the freshness of the walnuts.
Rich in fat, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, various vitamins......
Jing Tian was excited! Good stuff!
She first smashed some Qiang Tao'er with a stone, "Self-brother! Self-brother! ”
She picked a piece of slightly larger walnut meat, tore off the membrane coating, and brought the white and tender walnut flesh to her brother's mouth.
Since my brother doesn't know if this thing can be eaten, he has tasted Qiang peach fruit.
Not to mention the hard and astringent, the juice on the green shell got on the hands, and it was black for several days and could not be washed off.
But I saw the bright expectant eyes of the big sister opposite. Brother Zi'er still opened his mouth.
Jing Tian saw the hesitation that flashed from his brother, and saw him open his mouth to eat walnut meat quickly, that heroic and righteous look was funny and a little touching.
Since my brother automatically ignored the black and yellow fingers of the eldest sister, he ate the Qiang peach meat handed over.
He wanted to symbolically bite twice, so he quickly spit it out secretly. As a result, the sweet taste between his lips and teeth and the crisp texture made his eyes light up instantly.
"It's delicious! It's delicious! This Qiang peach fruit is crispy and sweet! Brother Zi'er smiled in surprise.
"Brother Da An! Second brother! Saburo! ......" shouted to his brother with joy. "My big sister smashed the Qiang peach, and there is Ren in it! It's delicious, not bitter at all. ”
Jing Tian was very satisfied with his brother's performance on the side, this little advertisement was well done! It's very hard to publicize!
Here, his brother beckoned people, Jing Tian hurriedly smashed a few walnuts, tore off the membrane coat, and soon made a small pile and held it in the palm of his hand. I'm excited to give everyone a taste.
These fresh walnuts are rich in nutrients, and often eat walnuts, which can not only strengthen the body, but also drive away the troubles of diseases.
Jing Tian had a colleague in her previous life who was an out-and-out fan of traditional Chinese medicine, and also told her that walnuts have the functions of warming the liver, tonifying the kidneys, strengthening the brain, strengthening the muscles and strengthening the bones.
In a word, everyone in this family needs it so much, it's not great!
"It's really delicious!" Da Anzi took a bite and was also pleasantly surprised.
Seeing that everyone was interested in picking up Qiang peaches, Jing Tian had other thoughts.
The northeast side of the pond is close to the direction of Jingjia Village, and a shallow stream two or three meters wide flows eastward along the mountain, and it looks like a big-headed tadpole from a distance.
Yes, she really wanted to take a shower, especially now that she saw the clear pool, she suddenly felt uncomfortable with her whole body.
Da Anzi didn't raise his head, and he happily let her wash with peace of mind, and he took his younger brothers to continue to pick up Qiang peaches.
It's summer, and the banks of the creek near Niubeiling are covered with calf-high weeds and wildflowers of all colors.
The wildflowers are not large, and they are dotted among the green grass, which has a delicate beauty of its own.
The flowers swayed in the wind, as if they were smiling happily and freely, showing off the colors given by nature.
Small fish and shrimp swim around in the crystal clear water, sometimes hiding in the aquatic plants, very comfortable and fresh.
Jing Tian walked from the shallow place of the creek to the side near the mountain.
There is a small inlet near Niubeiling, which can only be found when you get closer.
There are several tall and leafy trees growing here, as well as many shrubs and wild grasses that are more than a meter high, lush and very lush.
Coupled with the shelter of a sloping willow tree on the shore, it forms a hidden inlet where you can bathe.
The water depth is also just right, below Jing Tian's chest.
She plans to wash and put on the small pockets that fit her body first, and then wash her clothes, and then take a slow bath while drying her clothes.
Well, the idea is beautiful!
She submerged herself in the cool water, took off her clothes, and threw them onto a nearby branch.
"Who?" A low, cold snort came to mind.
"Ah......" Then there was a sound of water, and the frightened Jing Tian's feet slipped, and the whole person fell into the water.
When he slipped, his calf cramped violently, and it hurt so much that Jing Tian choked on several mouthfuls of water before he could even take care of the fluttering.
