Chapter 42 The Harvest in the Mountains

Xue Ning dragged the cart back, and it was just dark when he got home.

After washing up, I went to bed and rested.

In this era, there are no electric lights, no mobile phones, and few entertainment methods. Rural people basically go to bed early at night, but going to bed early and getting up early is good for health, so Xue Ning takes care of his health.

The next morning, Xue Ning had a simple breakfast, took the pancakes baked yesterday, and pulled the cart up the mountain.

Their village is surrounded by mountains, and the further they go into the mountains, the more strange and weird things there will be.

I heard that the most prey in the deep mountains are large prey, such as wild boars, blind bears, wolves and so on.

Therefore, the villagers generally dare not enter the deep mountains.

Because of this, the materials in the deep mountains will be very rich.

Xue Ning didn't hug the firewood as soon as she went up the mountain, she wanted to find any valuable mountain goods on the mountain.

As a result, I searched around the periphery of the mountain, and there were no wild vegetables, let alone valuable things.

It is also conceivable that most people now live a life without a second meal. The edible and usable things on the outskirts of the mountain must have been washed by the villagers over and over again. Not to miss valuable thing.

Xue Ning stood there thinking for a while, and finally pulled the cart and walked towards the deep mountain.

There are many dangers in the deep mountains, and no one comes here at ordinary times. Xue Ning almost became the first person who dared to enter the deep mountains alone.

She is not afraid, with the jade pendant that can control animals, she does not have to worry about being attacked by large animals.

Xue Ning dragged the cart into the deep mountain.

The more you go inside, there are quite a lot of things inside.

After Xue Ning walked for [-] minutes, he saw a wild loquat tree. The wild loquats have matured now, and the yellow ones are hanging on the branches in clusters. They are so many and dense, so beautiful.

The loquat tree is not young, the leaves are luxuriant, and the branches extend very high and far.

This is only in the deep mountains to see the scene of fruitful fruits. If they are left outside, the leaves are afraid that they will be stripped and boiled for drinking. How can we wait for her to pick the loquats.

Xue Ning put down the cart and climbed up the tree directly.

The branches were really high, and although she was quite brave, she did not dare to go to the highest place.

Fortunately, there are many loquats below.

Xue Ning pocketed it with his clothes, and quickly picked a bagful of loquats.

When she couldn't put it down anymore, she jumped down and put the loquats in the cart, and then she climbed up the tree again to pick the loquats.

Three or four times back and forth, a pile of loquats has been piled up on the cart.

Xue Ning was not greedy, he felt that the picking was almost done, so he gave up.

After all, she brought back too many things from the mountains and had to hand them in, so she didn't bother to do good deeds to benefit the whole village.

Put the loquat away, and continue to drag the cart to go inside.

Since there are loquats, there should be other wild fruits as well.

The humidity on the mountain is high and the sun is strong, which is most suitable for fruit growth, and the fruit grown is still very sweet.

Just now Xue Ning ate a few loquats, which were very sweet and didn't feel sour at all.

While walking, Xue Ning found another walnut tree.

Before the walnut is processed, the fruit is green. If you pry open the green fruit, you will get the walnut we eat on weekdays.

Xue Ning picked another bunch of walnuts.

At this time, the sun had risen to mid-air, Xue Ning raised his wrist to look at the time, it was 10:30 in the morning.

The time to enter the mountain is so fast.

Xue Ning piled all the walnuts on the cart, and continued to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

She didn't deliberately look for fruit trees, after all, the purpose of coming here today was not to eat fruit.

After entering the deep mountain, she found that there are not only wild fruits, but also a lot of mushrooms on the mountain.

You can also see chicken fir mushrooms, boletus, and even the hard-to-see matsutake.

In Xue Ning's view, these wild fungi are more valuable than fruits. These wild fungi can not only be used for cooking, but can also be traded. If they are not used up, they can be dried and stored. Dried fungi can be stored for a long time not bad.

When Xue Ning saw wild mushrooms, he picked them all, not letting go of any edible mushrooms.

After picking for a long time, the most common one is the collybia spp., which are everywhere in the mountains, and it seems that they don't need money.

By 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Ning had gained a lot.

The cart is already full of wild mushrooms and fruits.

It was late, and Xue Ning was about to leave the mountains.

Before leaving, I picked up a lot of weeds and covered the cart, covering the fruits and food on it.

After the cover was set, Xue Ning pulled the cart and walked out.

When we got outside, we started gathering firewood.

There is no need to worry about such things as firewood. This is the advantage of being backed by mountains, and dry branches can be found everywhere.

Cut the firewood into a length that is easy to place, and put it on the cart one by one. Soon, a cart full of firewood is loaded.

Xue Ning brought hemp rope to fix the firewood on the cart to prevent it from falling during transportation.

Doing all this well, it's already 6pm.

She originally wanted to go back early, but she forgot the time when she hugged the firewood.

At this time, the sun had already set, and because of the leaves covering the mountain, the surrounding area seemed even darker.

Xue Ning's heart beat a little fast, so he quickly pulled up the cart and walked down the mountain.

There are fruits and a cart full of firewood on the cart, so it must be heavy.

Xue Ning's thin body was pulling the cart that was many times bigger than her, and it looked as if it was about to be crushed by the cart.

She thought depressedly, she really overestimated her ability!If I knew it earlier, I would have done less.

The night fell, and the cloudless sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds floated in from afar, and thunder followed.

"Boom." A sound of piercing through the air exploded above his head, and immediately after that, big raindrops fell from the sky thousands of miles away.

"Clatter." The rain poured down in an instant.

Those who were still working outside dropped their jobs one after another and ran towards home with their tools.

In such an instant of effort, they were all drowned.

When Mu Chenghe returned home, his whole body was soaked.

Mu Yu quickly brought a dry towel to his brother, "Brother, wipe it off quickly, don't catch a cold."

Mu Chenghe took it, and casually wiped his dripping hair twice, before looking at the courtyard next door intentionally or unintentionally.

The rain was so heavy that it fell on the ground with pits and bubbles, and the yard next door was hidden behind the rain curtain and became hazy.

Before he could ask a question, Mu Yu also looked towards the yard next door, and said worriedly, "Sister took the cart to the mountain to collect firewood today, and she hasn't come back now, brother, you think nothing will happen to sister, right? "
