"That's it!" Xiao Mu pointed at a tree that was not very tall.
This tree is nothing special compared to other trees. The leaves are oval and there are strings of small flowers hanging down between the branches and leaves.
When she saw this tree, Ye Luoxin finally understood Xiao Mu's plan.
Poplar maple is also known as the willow tree, a large tree in the Juglandaceae family. The bark can be used as medicine to detoxify, and the leaves can be crushed and the sap can be used as an insecticide.
"Pick off this leaf and mash it. It will make the fish sleep for a while and you can catch it." Xiao Mu explained to her.
Ye Luoxin nodded, and then found another good thing next to the tree!
An octagonal tree!
The star anise on the tree has changed color slightly and will be mature in a short time.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Mu also approached.
"Seasoning for cooking, I never thought there were such good things in the mountains!" She picked a small handful first, then turned back to make sesame paste with Xiao Mu.
The two of them started working together. First they picked a pot full of leaves, then found two flat stones, placed the leaves between the stones, and smashed them hard. After a while, the leaves were smashed and the juice inside them flowed out. out.
After everything was done, the two of them walked to the river together. Xiao Mu did not rush to administer the medicine. He first found stones from the shore and blocked a path in the middle of the stream to slow down the flow of water. Then he walked further upstream. Start pouring the leaves and juice from the basin into the water slowly.
Ye Luoxin stared at the river without blinking. After a while, a white fish belly slowly floated on the river.
Slowly, more and more fish bellies were turned out, and the water surface was almost covered with white flowers.
Ye Luoxin couldn't wait any longer, took off her shoes again, jumped into the water, and caught a fish with her hand.
Xiaoyu just fainted, not dead. When he was caught, he twisted his body and struggled a few times. Unfortunately, he was too weak to escape from Ye Luoxin's clutches.
Xiao Mu had also jumped into the water, and the two of them cooperated with each other, grabbing fish one by one and throwing them to the shore. She didn't know how long it took, but Ye Luoxin felt that she could hardly lift her arms. The fish slowly disappeared.
The medicine had expired and the fish that had not been caught quickly swung their tails and ran away.
"That's enough! I can't take back any more." Xiao Mu helped Ye Luoxin onto the shore. When he looked at the shore, a piece of silver-finned fish was jumping on the ground, and it almost fell into the fish nest.
Xiao Mu squatted down to pick up fish. Both baskets were full, and there were still seven or eight fish left on the ground.
Xiao Mu looked up at the sky. It was already extremely cloudy and heavy rain was coming soon.
He broke off a willow branch, strung the remaining fish together, and handed them to Ye Luoxin. He picked up a basket on his back and carried the remaining one with his hands. He said to Ye Luoxin: "Let's go quickly, or else we will It’s raining.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the horizon suddenly flashed in the distance, and a thunder crackled in the sky, followed immediately by raindrops as big as soybeans, which fell overwhelmingly.
The two people ran as fast as they could. Although they were not too far away, they were already soaked to the skin by the time they got home.
Xiao Mu put down the backpack and quickly took off his coat. Seeing that Ye Luoxin's teeth were chattering from the cold, he quickly pushed her into the house to change clothes.
"You dry yourself first, I'll boil the water and take a hot bath later."
It wasn't that fast to light the fire, and by the time Ye Luoxin sat down in the steaming tub, her lips were already a little purple.
She was too weak to bear the cold.
Xiao Mu was worried and refused to let her wash alone. He stood by the bucket and held a wooden spoon to help her water her hair. He also used his hands to massage her arms and body gently to speed up blood circulation.
"You just dried yourself off, why don't you get under the quilt to warm yourself, why are you just freezing like this?"
There was reproach in his tone.
"I'm afraid that the quilt will be stained and I won't be able to sleep at night." Ye Luoxin explained with trembling lips.
After a while, she finally recovered, and the color of her lips changed from purple to tender pink.
"Much better." She grabbed Xiao Mu's hand that was still in the water, "You can come and wash it too."
Since returning home, Xiao Mu has been busy working and has not cared about himself at all.
At this moment, he was still wet all over, his hair was sticking to his cheeks and neck, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Xiao Mu looked at Ye Luoxin's hand pressing her, then raised his head, stared at her lips, and his eyes darkened: "Are you sure?"
Ye Luoxin was burned by his eyes and shrank into the tub, "The tub is too small. You should wait until I finish washing."
Xiao Mu's lips curled up, "It doesn't matter, just get closer."
With that said, he also took off his clothes and got into the bucket.
What Ye Luoxin said just now is correct. This bucket is indeed too small. One person can still stretch out his legs, but to carry two people, he has to curl up his legs and keep his body close to his body. There is hardly any gap.
"I, I'm done washing." Ye Luoxin wanted to run away.
Xiao Mu put his arm around her waist, letting the softness rub against her body, and sighed involuntarily.
To say that the first time he was more nervous than enjoyable, this time, he really realized how soft Ye Luoxin's body was, and the smooth and tender skin could be broken by blows, so he couldn't help but go up and take a bite.
"It hurts!" Ye Luoxin groaned, tears of grievance filling her eyes.
The space in the tub was too narrow, and it was difficult to turn around and reach out. Xiao Mu tried several times without success, so he simply raised his legs and stepped out of the tub, stretched out his hand, fished Ye Luoxin out of the water, and wrapped her in a bath towel. Go to bed.
There were dark clouds and strong winds outside, but it was a different storm inside the house.
This time, Ye Luoxin finally had some fun. The sour and numb feeling rushed to the top of her head, making her push away without any strength.
It wasn't until it got completely dark that the wind and rain in the house finally stopped.
Ye Luoxin lost her strength and didn't want to move at all. Xiao Mu got up again, lit the extinguished stove fire, and boiled water for a bath.
Xiao Mu cooked the dinner for dinner again.
He is not good at cooking, but the fish soup he makes is very delicious.
This time I added one more fish and the fish soup became richer.
When the fish meat was completely separated from the bones, he took the fish meat and fish bones out of the pot, stirred the fish meat and the remaining mushroom sauce from last night, and made a bowl of fish meat and mushroom sauce.
I filled another bowl of noodles, poured in a little water, and used chopsticks to stir the noodles into small gnocchi. Then I slowly put the small gnocchi into the fish soup pot and made a bowl of fish gnocchi soup.
After cleaning up, he went into the room and called Ye Luoxin to get up and eat.
Ye Luoxin didn't want to move, but her body was exhausted and she was hungry, so she got up from the bed.
Xiao Mu did not disappoint her. When she took the first sip of pimple soup, her eyes widened. It was so delicious.
The silverfin fish meat melts in your mouth, the small gnocchi are soft and smooth, and even the fish and mushroom sauce has a unique flavor.
