"The little girl picking mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket. Bare feet in the early morning, walking all over the forest and hills..." The girl's crisp singing echoed along the path in the mountains with a cheerful melody. Teach her the song, bouncing all the way, the small bamboo basket on the back has been filled with a lot of mushrooms.

My uncle is going to cook another dish that I haven't eaten before in the afternoon. The girl's heart is full of small expectations, and her steps are much lighter.

Li Yi walked a few steps behind the little maid, looking at this beautiful figure that seemed to be full of infinite vitality, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's nice to be young!"

Mushrooms grown in the mountains are natural and pollution-free. They are fresh and tight just picked. Whether it is chicken stewed with mushrooms or a bowl of delicious mushroom soup, it is the best choice of ingredients.

"Grandpa, come and see, this mushroom is so beautiful!" The startled voice of the little maid rang in Li Yi's ears again. A mushroom with orange-red surface and white scales was picked.

"This mushroom is so beautiful, it must be delicious." The little maid walked up to Li Yi as if asking for credit, holding the mushroom and said.

Li Yi took a careful look at the mushroom in Xiaohuan's hand, and soon found a similar picture in a fungi atlas in his mind, then smiled, shook his head, and said, "This mushroom can't be eaten, It will hurt your stomach if you eat it."

"Why?" The little girl couldn't understand, why would such a beautiful mushroom cause diarrhea after eating it

"This is the fly trap, also known as poisonous fly fungus, a poisonous mushroom." Li Yi once again acted as an encyclopedia for the little maid, "Eating this kind of mushroom will cause headaches, stomach pains, pain everywhere... Anyway, this kind of mushroom can’t be eaten.”

The little maid looked at Li Yi's big eyes and the little stars began to twinkle again.

Can cook, draw, write poems, sing, and recognize whether mushrooms are poisonous at a glance... My uncle is so amazing!

"Remember in the future, the more beautiful the mushroom, the more likely it is a poisonous mushroom. Just like women, the more beautiful the mushroom, the more dangerous it is..." Seeing that the mushrooms were almost picked, when he was about to go down the mountain and go home, Li Yi rarely told the little maid about the philosophy of life.

This little girl is as simple-minded as a piece of white paper. If she is sold, she may have to count the money for others. Usually, she must establish the correct three views, so as not to suffer in the future.

"How can such a beautiful mushroom be poisonous..."

The little maid looked at the mushroom in her hand, and thinking of what Li Yi said just now, she hurriedly threw the mushroom away, and said to herself: "The more beautiful you are, the more dangerous it is... That's not the case, Miss and Er The girls are so pretty…”

As she said that, the little girl's pretty face blushed again, and she muttered in a low voice: "Actually, Xiaohuan is quite pretty too..."

When he looked up, he realized that Li Yi had already walked more than ten steps away, and he stopped thinking about these things immediately, and hurriedly chased after him, "Grandpa, wait for me..."

When he and Xiaohuan returned to the stockade, along the way, many people greeted them—and Xiaohuan, Li Yi remembered the faces of these people one by one in his heart. Generally speaking, people who are enthusiastic about Xiaohuan, They are all on the side of sister Liu Ruyi.

When passing by a certain house, a child wearing coarse cloth and patched all over his body, about seven or eight years old, was squatting at the door to eat, when he heard someone coming, he looked up and yelled timidly : "Miss Xiaohuan."

This brat, Li Yi, looked very unfamiliar, and he must have never been to school. From this, he guessed that he should not be a member of the Liu clan.

Most of the people in Liuyezhai eat twice a day, and the time is not fixed. When passing by, Li Yi glanced at Xiongzi's bowl, and there was a dark piece. He didn't know what it was. There is an unpleasant smell, and it is hard to imagine that this is actually something that people eat.

However, to the brat, this seems to be something delicious. It is delicious to eat. In the other hand, there is an object similar to a steamed bun. It is also black. Take a bite. Hearing, watching the bear kid finally take a bite, the muscles at the corners of Li Yi's mouth became a little impulsive, and he felt a faint toothache.

A burly figure came out of the room, saw Li Yi and Xiaohuan, after being taken aback for a moment, he immediately smiled honestly and greeted them.

Li Yi was also stunned. Isn't this big man the one who gave them two pheasants in the morning

Looking down at the things in the bear's bowl again, Li Yi couldn't believe it. The big man who gave them meat so simply in the morning, his children actually ate such things

The big man walked out of the house, kicked the bear child who was sitting on the ground lightly, and cursed: "Little bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, this is my uncle, hurry up and call someone!"

"Grandpa, hello..."

Kicked by his father, the bear boy put down his bowl and steamed buns, and let out a timid cry.

"Wow!"

The yellow earth dog ran out of the house. It may feel that the young man in front of him is very strange. He barked at Li Yi twice, and suddenly sniffed his nose suddenly. He bit the cornbread with one bite, and disappeared in front of several people at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this scene, Xiongzi was stunned, Xiaohuan was stunned, and Li Yi was stunned.

The big man was also stunned, but the next moment, Li Yi heard a roar that sounded like an explosion, and the big man's bear-like body had already chased him out.

"Dahei, if you dare to eat that cornbread, I will kill you for drinking today!"

Seeing the disappearance of one person and one dog, Li Yi looked down at the black and smelly food in the bowl on the ground, and he was no longer in the mood to wonder why the yellow dog had such a domineering name "Da Hei" ... The big man gave them two pheasants, but his family ate this kind of food, which shocked Li Yi and fell into deep thought.

In Liuye village, the Liu family lineage is like a landlord, owning all the land, although life is not rich, but it is not too bad.

But more people are similar to the big man just now, almost equivalent to the tenants living at the bottom of society, just able to feed the whole family without starving to death. Even this minimum requirement cannot be met.

Li Yi learned from Xiaohuan that last year was a disaster year with a greatly reduced harvest, so everyone in the village is currently living a very difficult life.

In all fairness, if it was Li Yi himself, he would definitely not act like that big man in such a situation.

Perhaps, this is also the most admirable place for people in this world.

Li Yi had to admit that he was moved by the simple and honest man in front of him, or the simple folk customs of this world.
