A group of five people were playing and walking from the foot of the mountain. Nothing is more charming than the washed green hills. The entire hillside is covered with lush green, and the mist that has not yet dissipated is wrapped around its waist. During this time, the sunlight turned the raindrops on each leaf into colorful pearls.
A few people were playing and walking. Zhou Tianxing was very experienced. He could find mushrooms among a pile of rotten grass with just one look. He peeled off the rotten grass and revealed fat white mushrooms, each one juicy and tender, especially cute.
Cheng Xiang is good at cooking, but rarely has the opportunity to pick the ingredients himself. Now looking at these fresh and tender mushrooms, he has already thought of dozens of dishes in his mind.
"Uncle, come quickly, there are mushrooms here." As Zhou Yang shouted, everyone rushed over.
Sure enough, under the shade of a big tree, there was a patch of mushrooms with different shapes. They were tightly packed together. Some were tall, some were short, and some were flat-headed. There were many colors, including white. , black, yellow, and not far away there is a brightly colored one.
Xiao Qing'er ran towards the colorful mushrooms excitedly: "Beautiful, beautiful."
Cheng Xiang quickly grabbed Qing'er and said, "No, these are poisonous."
Qing'er looked at Cheng Xiang in confusion. Cheng Xiang only knew that the more colorful the mushrooms, the more poisonous they were, so she said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, remember, red umbrellas and white poles, eat them together and sleep together." plate."
"What is sleeping board?" Zhou Yang asked.
"That's right, it means death." Cheng Xiang solemnly imparted knowledge to the child.
Zhou Tianxing looked at her and wanted to laugh, but held it back.
He came over to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, come here, we only have these white and black, bright mushrooms that are indeed poisonous and cannot be eaten." He handed the picked mushrooms to Qing'er, and Qing'er was very happy. He took it obediently, put it gently into his backpack, and said, "You remember, the brighter the thing, the more toxic it is."
After saying this, he suddenly glanced at Cheng Xiang unconsciously.
Cheng Xiang stared at him with his head turned, and asked him with his hands on his hips: "What do you mean? You say I am a poisonous mushroom? How do I look like a mushroom?"
Cheng's thinking made Qing'er and Zhou Yang laugh, and Zhou Tianxing also nodded and smiled.
"Qing'er, auntie will teach you a song called "The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms""
"Okay, okay." Qing'er clapped her hands happily.
"The little girl picking mushrooms is carrying a big bamboo basket
Walking through the woods and hills with bare feet early in the morning
She picked the most mushrooms
....."
Cheng Xiang's melodious voice, accompanied by Qing'er's immature childish voice, was like a wisp of green smoke floating in the mountain forest.
The sun was getting higher and the temperature was rising. They picked 6-7 kilograms of mushrooms in their backpacks and started to return down the mountain.
In order to avoid the sun, Zhou Tianxing took them down a shady road down the mountain.
On a hillside, Cheng Xiang unexpectedly discovered a piece of wolfberry, which was bright red. The wolfberries were all round and plump, like small pearls.
"Why is there a piece of wolfberry here? Did someone grow it?" Cheng Xiang asked doubtfully.
"It's wild. I don't know when a wolfberry grew here. Then there were more and more. We came here to play and picked and ate them. Occasionally, the barefoot doctor from the village would come and pick some. Others didn't care about it." Zhou Tianxing explained.
Cheng Xiang thought in surprise: "Lycium barbarum is a good thing. It can be used to make tea, wine, and soup. Especially this wild one, it is a powerful tool for nourishing yin and yang."
There is a famous saying in later generations: "When people reach middle age, they have no choice but to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup."
Hehe, maybe it will also help Zhou Tianlei's illness."
Cheng Xiang thought to himself.
I thought about picking some and taking them back, but the hillside was a bit steep.
"Go back today. If you want, I'll come over and pick it for you another day." Zhou Tianxing saw that the sun was getting higher and the hillside was steeper, so he was afraid that something might happen to her.
"Okay" Cheng Xiang responded happily and led Qing'er down the mountain.
We were talking and laughing all the way, and when we were approaching the foot of the mountain, we suddenly saw a figure running out of the woods nearby.
Cheng Xiang took a closer look: "Huangmei?"
Huang Mei was also surprised when she saw them. Her face, which was full of joy just now, now showed obvious panic: "What are you doing here?"
The gossip that Xiuhua told her a few days ago suddenly came to Cheng Xiang's mind, and he thought to himself: "Is it true?"
In order not to alert others, she pretended not to know anything and said with a relaxed look: "We went to pick mushrooms, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm also coming to see if there are any mushrooms. You guys have fun, I'm leaving first." After that, he hurried down the mountain.
"Picking mushrooms?" He didn't even have any tools on him, but he was picking weird mushrooms. He talked to them with such a nice attitude, and it was obvious that he had something wrong with him.
Cheng Xiang turned around and looked in the direction Huang Mei ran out, but there seemed to be no movement.
After thinking about it secretly, she led the children down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, she asked Zhou Tianxing and Zhou Yang to go home first.
She took Qing'er and wandered at the foot of the mountain for about ten minutes.
A tall and sturdy figure walked down the mountain, it was Zhou Tianwang. He walked lazily down the mountain with a straw hanging in his mouth and a rippling expression on his face.
Seeing Cheng Xiang at the foot of the mountain, he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Tianwang, why are you here? Didn't you go to work on the pig farm?" Cheng Xiang looked at him with a harmless expression.
He was startled and said, "Oh, Tianlei set a trap on the mountain and asked me to see if he caught the rabbit."
"Oh, are you caught?" Cheng wanted to ask.
"No, no, what are you doing here?" Zhou Tianwang asked warily.
"I'll bring Qing'er here to play," Cheng Xiang replied.
"What's fun in this mountain? Don't step on the trap again, it will not heal if you get hurt. Go back quickly," Zhou Tianwang dismissed them.
"Okay, then we won't go up. Thank you Brother Tianwang for reminding us. Qing'er, let's go back." After saying that, Zhou Tianwang smiled and took Qing'er away.
Zhou Tianwang looked at their backs, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "This road is remote, and few people come up here. He and Huang Mei just finished doing things, and that girl ran away before he could put on his pants. Why are they here?" What about meeting them?"
But thinking about Cheng Xiang's confused look just now, it seemed like she didn't see anything, and she went down the mountain feeling relaxed.
When Cheng Xiang returned home and saw that Zhou Tianxing had dried the mushrooms he had picked, he felt happy: "This kid is really considerate."
But when I think of Chen Jiao, I can't help but feel a little melancholy.
I was practicing piano with Qing'er in the afternoon when Chen Tian came in with a backpack on his back.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Lei asked me to deliver meat." Chen Tian shouted as he walked inside.
Cheng wanted to go out, opened the backpack and saw that there was a rack of ribs, some pork belly, and a few pig trotters.
A few days ago, she planned to make braised pig trotters and mentioned it to Zhou Tianlei casually. Unexpectedly, he remembered it.
Cheng Xiang handed a glass of ice water to Chen Tian who was sweating profusely and asked him: "Xiaotian, what has your sister been busy with these days? I haven't seen her for a long time."
