Tian Xing'er stared at the bunch of wild fruits that Su Qingluan handed over, looked at it carefully, and then asked with a strange expression: "You don't want to eat it, do you?"
"I just want to ask if it can be eaten - if it can be eaten, let's have a taste." At least the color looks appetizing.
Liu'er was putting on socks, but when she heard Su Qingluan's words, her face became strange: "Before this," she reminded in a difficult word, "you just played with my feet for a long time, without washing your hands, just holding them like this Do you want to eat wild fruits?”
Although she doesn't have any foot odor, Liu'er thinks that even she might be a little disgusted by the hand that just touched her feet - let alone using such hands to take food!
Su Qingluan was speechless for a while when he heard this: "...I'm not so heartbroken. Aren't you still there..."
Tian Xing'er stared at the bunch of red berries that looked very attractive in color and shape, and smiled slyly: "I'm sure this fruit is edible. As for the taste-" She quickly picked off a fruit, Putting it into the unprepared Su Qingluan's mouth, "Why don't you try it yourself?"
Su Qingluan was struck by her sudden attack and without reacting, she subconsciously bit the small berry.
I never thought that the red berries, which were no bigger than the size of my little finger, could be so lethal.
Su Qingluan only felt that her teeth had broken through the thin skin of the berry with a slight tap, and the abundant pulp juice inside spurted out in an instant.
She didn't expect at all that this little fruit looked so harmless to humans and animals, but its lethality was even worse than the sour hook before!
In just a short moment, Su Qingluan felt that the teeth in his entire mouth were sour. Due to the strong sour taste, Su Qingluan felt his whole body tremble, and the hairs all over his body stood up in an instant!
And although she didn't notice it, the moment she bit into the berry, her expression was even more abstract than Picasso's portrait!
Tian Xing'er watched Su Qingluan's "Yan Yi performance" with great interest, and was overjoyed: "How is it? This tastes pretty good, right?"
"..." Su Qingluan was so hurt that she couldn't speak. She could only nod and shake her head. The main thing was that she was insane.
"Why are there so many wild fruits here, but they are all so weird?!" Su Qingluan cried with a sad face, and her whole person was doubting life.
Tian Xing'er and Liu'er naturally didn't know the specific meaning of "ghost animal", but it didn't prevent them from understanding the meaning of Su Qingluan's words. Liu'er giggled and accidentally pulled the sprained ankle, but couldn't help it. Wrinkling his face and constantly gasping, he explained to Su Qingluan:
"In our Huaxi Village, there are wild fruits all over the mountains and plains. All the delicious ones have been picked long ago to satisfy our hunger. Why is it our turn to pick them so slowly?"
"If it weren't for the famine, no one would be willing to eat this dangerous wild fruit," Tian Xing'er frowned in disgust, "Eating it on an empty stomach will make your teeth hurt and your stomach will hurt."
"I remember there was 'Sour Hook' in early summer." Su Qingluan looked up at the bunches of red berries, "I didn't expect that it's autumn now, and there are still so many wild fruits."
"These wild fruits are found everywhere, and they don't disappear until winter." Tian Xing'er sighed, "It's a pity that except for the birds and insects in the mountains, I guess no one is willing to eat such food."
Su Qingluan felt the remaining sourness in her mouth and nodded: It's so sour, no wonder there are so many fruits all over the mountains and fields, but no one picks them and eats them.
If you want to eat this wild fruit, you probably need to add a lot of honey. However, in this era, whether it is honey, maltose or sugar, they are all expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to spend such a large amount of money on condiments.
The common people who could have been reduced to picking wild fruits to eat are probably at the level of starvation. It is impossible for such people who have one meal but no next meal to buy luxury condiments such as sugar. .
The three of them were chatting about wild fruits, but little girl Su Xueyan remained surprisingly quiet. Su Qingluan turned around and smiled: the little guy drooped his head and fell asleep peacefully against her.
"Should I wake my sister up?" Liu'er was a little worried, "Would it be uncomfortable if you sleep like this for a long time?"
It's more than uncomfortable. Su Qingluan stared at her little sister's neck curled up in a ball, and thought to herself that if she continued to maintain this sleeping position, her whole body would probably hurt as if it had been dismantled and reassembled!
But this little girl has a little problem - if she is woken up in the middle of her sleep, she will cry for a long time, and it is easy to enter a "state of non-violence and non-cooperation".
In short, the third girl of the Su family was very angry when she woke up.
After weighing whether "coaxing the child" or "carrying the child" was more labor-intensive, Su Qingluan shook her head at Liu'er: "Forget it, don't call her, I'll carry her back."
Fortunately, Su Qingluan didn't have much pressure to carry a little girl over three years old - the most important thing was that if Su Qingluan, a little girl in the state of "getting out of bed", wanted to do it, not only would she have to put in a lot of effort, but also a lot of effort. energy.
However, considering that there was a backpack behind Su Qingluan's back, Liu'er said that she was the only one with an empty hand now and could help Su Qingluan get it.
In this way, when they came, the four of them were jumping up and down and having fun, but when they returned, they looked like wounded soldiers who had lost a battle, limping and supporting each other, looking very pitiful and a bit ridiculous.
Su Qingluan was complaining like this in her heart, but she still couldn't forget to keep exploring the road. While exploring, she secretly made a note in her heart: If you go out again next time, you must bring some powder or incense to repel mosquitoes, snakes, and rats, otherwise it will just be a waste of time. Manual pathfinding is really too labor-intensive.
The little girl Su Xueyan slept soundly, but Su Qingluan was very tired. Although the weight of a three or four-year-old girl is not too exaggerated, she still weighs more than ten kilograms.
As the saying goes, "There is no light debt in a long journey". Even if a dozen pounds is nothing to Su Qingluan, she must pay attention to the road conditions along the way and carry a child weighing more than ten pounds to prevent her from slipping and falling. , which consumes a lot of energy.
Especially after the three of them returned to the village, Tian Xing'er was going to send Liu'er home, and Liu'er returned Su Qingluan's backpack to her.
Carrying her sister on her back with one hand and carrying the backpack with the other made Su Qingluan even harder.
Su Qingluan considered putting her sister in the backpack and carrying the basket on her back with her sister.
But let's not talk about whether my sister can fit into the backpack. The key question is whether the backpack can bear her sister's weight - she can't afford to gamble.
Although Su Qingluan had heard the ballad about "small backpack", when she looked at her bamboo basket, she felt that it was a different type from the one that could hold a person in the ballad.
Feeling that her sister was on the decline, Su Qingluan quickly put the backpack on the ground and carried her sister up on her back.
Does she want to carry a basket in front of her and carry her sister on her back? Su Qingluan thought with a wry smile.
