The inaccessible mountains are indeed a treasure trove.
Mushrooms, wild onions, ground bark, wild fruits... are everywhere, and even the wild vegetables in the deep mountains are more lush than those at the foot of the mountains.
There was laughter and laughter in the jungle. The wives in Shenshu Village looked at each other. People from other villages had already taken the lead.
The baskets on the arms and the baskets on the backs were full of mountain products, and some even had a pheasant on their waist.
"It's too late." The daughter-in-law from Shenshu Village sighed.
"What's the matter? There are treasures everywhere. There are so many wild animals, which is enough for us to keep busy." Xie Chuntao didn't think so. When he saw the medicinal materials at his feet, he smiled happily and picked up the shovel and squatted down to dig.
"Chuntao is right. With so many good things, we can't just let the people in our village occupy them. It's good to have more people. More people can scare away the tiger." The village chief's wife concluded with a forward-looking view.
As they talked, the girls and wives of Shenshu Village became excited.
Not even bothering to lament that they were late, they rolled up their sleeves and bent over to pick mushrooms, and those who dug for medicinal herbs.
"Hey, these wild strawberries are big and red. The fruit is too delicate to carry. Let's eat it with open stomachs."
The children were picking wild fruits, and they found a large piece of wild strawberries and swarmed over it.
"This large area of wild mushrooms, which I discovered first, belongs to me. No one is allowed to snatch it from me."
You Qingzhi, the seventh sister of Eugene Gui, found a piece of mushroom under a pine tree, pulled the branches around it, and drew a circle on the ground.
"Oh, what a good thing. It's a nest of pheasant cubs. Chuntao, please hold it down for me."
The village chief's wife found two pheasants, with more than a dozen pheasant eggs hatched under their buttocks. Several of them had broken out of their shells, and their little yellow mouths were squealing for feeding.
Xie Chuntao dropped the shovel, pulled a handful of grass and rubbed it to help the village chief's wife tie up the pheasant.
"Chuntao, you are really good. Not one of the two chickens escaped. We will share the chicken and the eggs equally." The village chief's wife said with great pride.
Xie Chuntao pursed her lips and smiled, waving her hands. The wild geese and ducks brought by her sister-in-law were enough.
Xie Chuntao said: "Ms. Zhao, I don't want pheasants and eggs. Can you give us two pheasant cubs?"
The pheasant cubs are fluffy and cute. My sister-in-law will definitely like them. She wants to beg two to take back and give them to her to raise.
The village chief's wife was eager and said with a smile: "Take these pheasant cubs. I don't have the ability to feed them. Your family is different. Your little Yuanbao wants them to live, so they have to live obediently."
Xie Chuntao: "..."
Has my sister-in-law’s reputation evolved so much?
Xie Chuntao carefully wrapped the pheasant cub in a cloth bag and placed it in a basket on the side.
Xiao Yuanbao, who wanted the pheasant cub to live, was currently sitting in the sedan chair held up by Dalang and Sanlang's hands, leisurely looking at the mountain scenery and listening to the clear spring flowing in the mountain stream.
A Zhen walked aside, using a big leaf to block her from the sunlight filtering through the forest.
Xiao Yuanbao sat on the "salanquin" and looked around, feeling very comfortable.
Eugene Gui was panting from exhaustion, holding on to an old pine tree, sweating profusely, covering his chest with a handkerchief, too tired to move.
Not knowing whether it was accidental or intentional, my sister-in-law first followed them to the foot of the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain and climbed up the slope, he stopped and refused to go. He even acted like a baby and had to be hugged by her before he would go.
Naturally, she didn't want to be hugged, so she let Da Lang Sanlang do it. As soon as her sister-in-law turned around, she wanted to go down the mountain and go home.
After thinking about the money her sister-in-law had brought, she cursed her mother in her heart and gritted her teeth while holding her sister-in-law up the hill.
In the middle of the process, she discussed it in a loud voice, hoping that the sister-in-law would leave by herself or be carried by the older man, but this girl was clinging to her and unwilling to get off the ground. If the words were a little harsh, the sister-in-law would open her eyes and mouth and howl and go back.
On the most difficult slope, Eugene really wanted to throw the little round treasure down.
Finally reaching Ping Road, Xiao Yuanbao agreed to be held by someone else.
She was so tired that she had stars in her eyes. She didn't want to be Xiao Yuanbao's second sister-in-law in her next life.
In this life, I still have to do it.
Eugene Gui looked at the wild fruits and vegetables and medicinal materials everywhere, and her heart lost interest. This was not what she wanted.
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you leave?" Xiao Yuanbao waved to Eugene Gui.
Why don't I leave? I'm not tired of holding a dead girl like you. Eugene Gui suspected that his sister-in-law was a little monster. She seemed to know everything in her heart, but she looked innocent on her face.
Control it, don't offend her, and still need her to hunt for treasure.
Yu Jingui controlled the urge to curse, wiped his face with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law was tired from holding you just now. The second sister-in-law loves you very much. She hugged you all the way."
Xiao Yuanbao opened his big eyes and said childishly: "Second sister-in-law loves me so much that she wanted to throw me away on the cliff."
Eugene Gui: “…”
Dalang Sanlang and A Zhen looked at Eugene Gui with unkind eyes.
Eugene Gui was so angry that he vomited blood, just thinking about it in his mind. Even if she had the courage, she would not dare to abandon the little ancestor of the Bai family.
Looking at Xiao Yuanbao's innocent smile, Eugene Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "It's okay, that stretch of road is too steep and my hands are slippery."
Xiao Yuanbao smiled and nodded: "You're kidding, second sister-in-law."
Eugene Gui rolled his eyes in his heart, what you said was a joke, and if it reached the ears of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen, she was afraid that Bai Dazhuang would divorce him.
Everyone urged Eugene Gui to continue on his way. After walking for a while, he heard chatter and laughter coming from the jungle. He carefully identified that they were people from Shenshu Village. Eugene Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yuanbao patted Dalang Sanlang's hand and got off the "sedan".
The road in the deep mountains was covered with pine needles and dead leaves. It was soft and not difficult to walk without stinging her feet. She took a step forward and decided to walk on her own.
Eugene Gui suddenly thought of something, frowned, and smiled at Xiao Fuyuan——
"Ahem, sister-in-law, the road is slippery. My second sister-in-law will hold your hand." You Jingui took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and coaxed her like a wolf grandma, "Sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law saw that you wanted to come to the mountains to play, so I brought you here. Yes, when I ask my mother about it later, what will you say?"
Little Fuyuan walked forward and said in a sweet voice, "I came here myself."
Eugene Gui smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, my sister-in-law came here on her own. The second sister-in-law didn't trust you, so she took Da Lang Erlang and followed you into the mountains."
Xiao Yuanbao had a smile on his face and hehehe in his heart.
This second sister-in-law is so busy with her work that she only knows how to pinch the skin of a bun when the stuffing leaks out.
Xiao Yuanbao ignored her and decided to pretend to be an innocent baby to the end.
"Hey, so beautiful."
Xiao Yuanbao found a cluster of flowers blooming quietly in the valley in front of him. They were redder than peach blossoms and more colorful than magnolias.
A Zhen said: "This is the Xinyi flower."
Dalang said: "Auntie, do you want to wear flowers? I will pick them for you."
Eugene Gui was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Yuanbao's exclamation, thinking that his sister-in-law had discovered some great treasure.
Following the direction of my sister-in-law's finger, I saw a tree of Xinyi flowers in full bloom. Looking down the trunk, there were only scattered petals under the tree.
Eugene Gui couldn't help being disappointed and urged Xiao Fuyuan: "Sister-in-law, don't look at the flowers. Look carefully in the grass and under the tree. If you find anything, ask my second sister-in-law to help you dig it out."
Xiao Yuanbao nodded, pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, Tiger.
Eugene Gui: “…”
Why is my sister-in-law's thinking so divergent? Tigers are full of treasures, their skins, tiger teeth, tiger teeth, who doesn't know, but is that a treasure that she, Eugene Gui, can resist?
