Chapter 17

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan sat together, laughing and chatting while eating.

The two of them didn't have much intimate behavior, but in this day and age, when a man and a woman sit and eat together, it's obvious that the two are talking.

With this result, everyone is not very surprised.

After all, after Sheng Xiping yelled like that yesterday, Zhou Qinglan didn't get angry and cursed, but gave him the piece of soap instead, which explained everything.

At this time, people still express their feelings very implicitly, and no one will directly call XX I love you.

But it is this implicit expression that is more touching and unforgettable.

But in later generations, those three words have been shouted to death, and I always feel that something is missing.

Some of the boys who were secretly optimistic about Zhou Qinglan were regretful, some were depressed, and some were unwilling.

Sheng Xiping didn't care what those people thought. He was plotted against by Sun Yunpeng in his previous life, and he could fight back. So what is he afraid of in this life?

Everyone had lunch, and most of them had nothing to do in the afternoon.

So Sheng Xiping took Chen Weiguo, Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining, Tang Fengying, Zhou Qinglan and others, carrying tools such as hoes in their hands, and a few girls with their lunch boxes, just like that into the forest and wandered around.

Sheng Xiping has been hunting in the mountains with his master since he was 13 years old.

In the first year, he was only responsible for carrying things, such as food and household items for entering the mountain. He carried more than [-] kilograms of things on his back. In some places, he was also called back slope.

The second year is to learn to drive the stick, that is, to cooperate with people to drive the prey in the direction of the shotgun, so it is also called the slope in some places.

In his previous life, Sheng Xiping had nothing to do after he came out. At first, he pointed to hunting, and later he took over the outsourcing project of the forest farm.

It should be said that there is no place around the forest farm that he is not familiar with.

Among the group, except for Zhou Qinglan who came from Songjianghe, the rest were educated youths who grew up in this field and were familiar with the mountains and forests.

A group of young people chatted and laughed, and walked along the path in the forest that seemed to be there.

While walking, cast eyes on the grass or fallen logs.

There are many good things in the woods. In this season, besides Gastrodia elata, there are also Ganoderma lucidum, fungus, and tree mushrooms.

Not to mention pheasants, hares, squirrels, tree chickens and other animals, it is not in vain to meet anything.

Zhou Qinglan had never been in the mountains before, so she didn't quite understand what everyone was looking for, but she knew some rules, so she didn't ask, and just followed Sheng Xiping quietly.

Sheng Xiping knew that Zhou Qinglan was entering the mountain for the first time, so he looked back at her from time to time, and told Zhou Qinglan to pay more attention to his feet.

There are all kinds of barley seeds, small shrubs, and fallen logs in the forest. It is really not easy for people who have never been in the mountains to walk in them.

Not to mention that there are also mosquitoes, small bites, small plane adzes, blind midges and other flying insects that specialize in blood-sucking.

So going into the mountains is not an easy task.

It’s fine for the men to be rough-skinned and thick-skinned. The girls couldn’t stand it after walking for a while, so they could only keep waving their hands to drive away the mosquitoes.

"Then, put this on, and mosquito bites won't hang around you."

Sheng Xiping made a wreath with some branches, then broke off a piece of fungus called old bovine liver from the tree, and lit it with a match.

After the surface layer is almost burned, the open flame is extinguished and inserted in the garland made of branches.

There are many loose and small pores inside the dry old beef liver. After the open flame is extinguished, the interior is still burning, and a large amount of thick smoke with a pungent smell will come out.

Zhou Qinglan put a garland on her head, and as people moved, the smoke would flutter around.

Those flying around and biting people's faces, especially the small flying insects around the eyes, will be smoked away by the smoke, but Zhou Qinglan will not be smoked by the smoke, which can be said to be very useful.

And because the inside of the old beef liver is loose and burns slowly, it will not fall down and hurt people.

"Looking at other people, and then looking at you, it can make you mad."

Sheng Xiping's behavior aroused the envy of Tang Fengying and other girls, so they complained to their partners one after another.

Gao Haining and the others saw it, and hurriedly followed Sheng Xiping's example, weaving garlands and looking for old cow liver, at least they coaxed the aunt well.

"I didn't see it, you kid is so good at coaxing girls, we almost let you die."

Gao Haining walked up to Sheng Xiping and strangled Sheng Xiping's neck with one hand to relieve the depression in his heart.

"My partner doesn't even know how distressed I am, I really wonder how you managed to coax Fengying into your hands." Sheng Xiping shook his head.

Those two were happy friends, they fought and fought since they were young, and they didn't stop after they got married, quarreling and bickering every now and then.

But the more the two of them fought, the better they got. They had three children in a row, and later they gave all the children to study, and their whole life was considered complete.

Gao Haining was about to say something, but Sheng Xiping pulled his hand away and jumped out.

"Tree chicken mushroom, what a big piece."

It turned out that there was a pink mushroom growing on a fallen log not far ahead.

This mushroom is about the size of the wicker basket used by Sheng Xiping's family to store dry food. It is brightly colored and has several layers. It looks like a flower when viewed from a distance.

Coprinus is one of the few brightly colored but non-toxic fungi that grow very fast.

It may not be as big as a palm yesterday, but today it will grow into a small pot, and tomorrow it will become lighter in color and the fruiting bodies will harden like wood.

Therefore, it is not easy to meet fresh and tender tree chicken mushrooms.

The tenderer the tree mushroom, the brighter the color, just like the one in front of me, it is very tender when it is pink.

Sheng Xiping picked it out with his fingernails, and the outer surface of the mushroom was easily scratched, which meant that the mushroom was very tender.

So I carefully broke it off from the tree and put it in the cross-body pocket.

"Haven't you eaten this thing? Cut it into slices and fry it with some leeks. It's very fresh."

Sheng Xiping saw Zhou Qinglan's curious look as soon as he turned his head, and couldn't help laughing, so he quickly introduced it to her.

"Why don't you come to my house for dinner?" Sheng Xiping's heart moved, and he deliberately teased Zhou Qinglan in a low voice.

"No, no, how can it be done?" Zhou Qinglan shook her head like a rattle when she heard it.

How can I do that, the name is not right, what's the matter with her going to Sheng's house for dinner?
Sheng Xiping was deliberately teasing the girl, so Zhou Qinglan refused, and he didn't insist anymore, he just sighed.

"Okay then, I'll go again later when I have a chance."

Well, go back and tell my mother, cut and blanch the tree chicken mushrooms tonight, and fry them tomorrow morning.

It just so happened that he could bring rice and let Zhou Qinglan have a taste.

Sheng Xiping found a large tree coprinus, which caused the others to stare and look around more carefully.

Sure enough, after a while, Chen Weiguo called out, "Gianma."

Everyone followed the voice, but saw nothing, "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Chen Weiguo went to a tree and knelt down, using his hands to scrape away the dead grass and fallen leaves on the ground.

Only then did everyone see a slightly purplish-red plant with a tassel on top, less than five centimeters out of the ground.

"The eyes are very poisonous. Gastrodia elata has just been unearthed, so you can see it at such a short age."
