"Hey," Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze agreed with a smile. The siblings felt a wave of excitement and joy for no reason. This was their exploration and curiosity about new things.
"Be careful on the road! Come back early!" Mrs. Miao waved at them.
"Hey, I got it! Go back! It's still early, let's go to sleep!" Sun Changxing turned around and replied.
Miao didn't respond to his words, and shouted again: "Take care of Fangzhou and his siblings!"
"I see, don't worry!" Sun Changxing said again.
After walking a long way and reaching the corner, Lian Fangzhou subconsciously glanced back, and could vaguely see that Miao was still standing there, looking in their direction. In the cold night, it looks so lonely and thin.
Lian Fangzhou felt a little sour in his heart, and he couldn't help but think to himself that there are many days when Uncle Sun goes hunting all year round, and Aunt Sun also suffers from waiting in her heart.
After all, it is still too poor!
Sun Changxing is very familiar with the mountain road, but he has not entered the mountain yet. There are more people walking on this road, and it is relatively flat, so it is not difficult to walk. It is not difficult for Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze to keep up with him.
Sun Changxing is also a kind person. He felt that it would be unreasonable not to take care of others after taking so much rice from them. He was very patient, reminding them of the road under their feet from time to time, rather than just caring about himself.
Gradually, the sky was getting brighter, and the morning star hanging high in the sky gradually dimmed, and the east appeared pale. The road under their feet could already be seen clearly, and the three of them quickened their pace.
After walking for about half an hour, Sun Changxing turned his head and said with a smile: "Let's rest here for a while, we won't rest later, there are still two mountain ridges! If you are tired, please tell me, let's stop and rest Take a break. Walking on the mountain road requires a lot of energy, and after resting, the legs and feet will become sore and weak, and it will only become more and more unable to walk!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze nodded with a smile and said yes, and thanked them again.
Sun Changxing pointed to the side and said, "Going down the slope over there, there is a spring. If you are thirsty, go and drink a few sips!"
Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "I was just about to ask Uncle Sun if there is any place to drink water near here!" Then he stood up.
Lian Ze also said to go, so the siblings went there together.
After resting for more than a quarter of an hour, the three continued on their way.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and there is a thin glow in the eastern sky. It is expected that the sun will come out soon.
At this moment, there is no need to concentrate on the road under his feet, so Lian Fangzhou took the opportunity to ask Sun Changxing about Xianteng Mountain.
Originally, she was worried that Sun Changxing would not talk about it, but who knew that he was also a talkative person, so he just chatted with Lian Fangzhou and his siblings to pass the time along the way.
The siblings asked each other from time to time, and Sun Changxing became more and more interested, and the three of them traveled without feeling tired.
After about an hour, I finally arrived at the foot of Xianteng Mountain.
In fact, as we gradually approached Xianteng Mountain, the forests on both sides became much taller and the vegetation became more lush. The mountains on both sides also looked obviously different from what we saw before. It looks more majestic, tall and broad.
"I have to go for a walk in the woods to see if I'm lucky and if I can hunt some good things! You two don't go too far, if you get lost, you will be in trouble! If you can't find your way, remember To live, find a place with water in the mountains and forests, and you can come out by walking along the direction of the water flow! It’s best to follow the stream when entering the mountains, here, just the one over there, it’s better! When it’s almost the end of Shenshi, we’ll be in Let’s meet here and go back together, don’t be too late!”
Sun Changxing said solemnly.
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze quickly agreed, and Lian Fangzhou took out an egg and rice ball with a smile, handed it to Sun Changxing and said with a smile: "We brought some food, just a little thought, Uncle Sun, don't dislike it! "
Sun Changxing originally wanted to decline, but after hearing what Lian Fangzhou said, it would be a bit too hypocritical to decline again, so he generously accepted it and said with a smile: "Success, thank you both! Actually, you used Don't be so polite! Well, I have to go first! It's time to go hunting, time flies, and a day will pass in a blink of an eye!"
Lian Fangzhou and his brother bid farewell to him.
"Come on, let's have something to eat first and leave later!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
"Yeah!" Lian Ze nodded, and the two sat down to eat eggs and rice dumplings, and rolled them up with tree leaves to scoop up the mountain spring water next to them to drink.
"Sister, do you think we can find mushrooms?" Lian Ze looked up at the eerie forest, which seemed to be waiting for someone to send it in with its mouth wide open, feeling a little thumping in his heart.
"Give it a try! Since you're here, you can't return empty-handed!" Lian Fangzhou smiled.
Lian Ze smiled and nodded. He was a little nervous at first, but his sister wasn't afraid. He was a man, so what was there to be afraid of
After they had finished eating, they sat down for another cup of tea, then followed Sun Changxing's instructions and walked towards the forest along the direction of the stream.
As long as you remember where the stream is, it doesn't matter if you go a little further to the side.
The two of them walked in the forest, and all they could see were tall trees that soared to the sky. Under the trees, there were all kinds of short grasses and shrubs. Many unnamed and very lush vines climbed and entwined. It looked good, and walked But it is very difficult.
Maybe this place is hardly visited by people on weekdays, and there are not many mushrooms. Because many big trees fell on the ground, and because no one dealt with them for a long time, those big trees that fell on the ground began to decay, covered with moss and entwined with vines.
And this kind of rotten wood is the best place for mushrooms to grow.
Both siblings were overjoyed.
"Sister, can these be picked?" Although Lian Ze's eyes lit up with excitement, he did not forget to ask Lian Fangzhou first.
Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but secretly praised her stability in her heart. So I read it first, and then taught him how to pick it.
There are not only mushrooms in this forest, but also a rich variety of them. In the area in front of you, there are ectomycorrhizal fungi, morels, wild shiitake mushrooms, wild fungus, red mushrooms, etc. Lian Fangzhou also found some white fungus And boletus, she was so happy that she picked them carefully.
There are really a lot of mushrooms here. In less than an hour, even the four sacks that Fangzhou and his brother brought were filled.
The two tied the mouth of the sack tightly, picked up suitable wooden poles in the forest to make poles, and each carried a load out of the forest to a place separated from Sun Changxing, where they placed the sack in the grass.
Fortunately, the mushrooms are not heavy and cannot be squeezed. Although they are packed full, they are not really heavy.
The two rested for a while, seeing that it was still early, Lian Ze said he wanted to go to the stream to see if there were any fish. Lian Fangzhou went with him.
The terrain in this area is relatively gentle, and the water in the stream is also relatively gentle. The stream is about two meters wide, the water is crystal clear, and the bottom of the stream is covered with large chunks of dark stones.
The bank is full of wild chrysanthemums the size of copper coins, with faint purple-blue petals wrapped in golden stamens. At a glance, you can't see the bottom along the banks of the stream.
Perhaps because it was daytime and the stream was too clear, there were fish, but they were all small fish the size of a finger or the tail of a chopstick, swimming in groups, but there were no big fish.
However, there are thumb-sized green shrimps under the stone.
Carefully moving away the stones, I saw the blue-grey hard-shelled shrimps wielding a pair of long pincers, holding their backs with their thumb and forefinger, and with a light grip, they were caught out of the water. The pair of slender pincers kept waving, bowing and struggling.
"Sister, such a big shrimp, and there are so many, it's really rare!" Lian Ze smiled excitedly: "Let's catch more and bring them back!"
"Okay! Tonight we have delicious food again!" Even Fangzhou was very happy.
There are also shrimps in the river next to the village, but there are no such big shrimps. They are all small shrimps, which are about an inch long and have bodies the size of mung beans and soybeans. That kind of shrimp can only be caught with a special kind of net, which the locals call "shrimp twist". .
The siblings were very happy to catch the big freshwater prawns, and took them out one by one from under the rocks, and threw them to the shore.
