Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 5 Going up the mountain with my wife

"Huh...huh..."

After only ten minutes on the mountain, Lin Heng began to breathe heavily.

Although my body is young, I am often not in labor, and I can't bear to carry my twenty-pound daughter up the mountain. On the other hand, my wife can't even breathe while carrying her.

"Give it to me, your clothes are soaked with sweat!" Chen Xiulan felt helpless and a little funny.

"Haha...Mom..."

The daughter Lin Xiaoxia in the backpack was holding Lin Heng's hair and playing with it while giggling.

"No, just rest for a while and it will be there soon."

Lin Heng found a rock and rested on it. The mountain here was not actually steep, but it was just because he didn't climb it often.

Chen Xiulan handed over a handkerchief: "Wipe your sweat. It's cold in the mountains. You can easily catch a cold if you sweat."

"I can't free my hands, so you wipe it for me." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Chen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him. Although her hands were empty, she still came over and wiped Lin Heng's sweat carefully.

His wife wiped her sweat, while Lin Heng looked at her face and smiled stupidly.

This made Chen Xiulan a little embarrassed, but luckily there was no one in the mountain, so she wiped the sweat from Lin Heng's neck.

"Let's go." After resting for a while, Chen Xiulan stood up and said.

We reached the place when we climbed up a mountain. The area near the house was a forest of frequently cut down trees, and there were no fungi. Only the trees on the mountain were tall and the forest was old, so there were fungi.

The forest in front of me is a mixture of pine forest and acorn forest. As soon as I entered, I saw many large red mushrooms. This is what people often call red umbrellas with white stems in later generations. They are available from spring to autumn, and there are many mushrooms.

But in fact, most red mushrooms are non-toxic and taste pretty good.

"It seems that no one has come here to pick it yet. Let's look for pine fungi."

Seeing that there were no traces of anyone walking on the ground, Chen Xiulan was very happy and started looking around.

There are too many red mushrooms and they are worthless. We only pick some when there are no other mushrooms.

this season. The valuable mushrooms are matsutake, morels, chanterelles, pine milk mushrooms and other mushrooms. Although the mushroom resources in Qinling Mountains are not as good as those in Yunnan, they are not bad either. They have had the habit of foraging since ancient times.

After walking a few steps, Lin Heng saw a pine tree mushroom. Pine tree mushroom is the customary name here, and its scientific name is pine milk mushroom.

Orange-yellow, with thick flesh, there are concentric circles on the cap. The most obvious feature is that it turns blue-green after being injured, and is also called aeruginosa.

When he found one of this thing, he would get a piece of it. Soon Lin Heng found dozens more flowers nearby and collected more than two kilograms in one go.

Two cents a pound is collected at the market.

After searching again, they were gone, but I did pick up two pretty good green-headed mushrooms. Although they were green, they were actually a type of russula.

Mushrooms are all like this, one by one. Just when Lin Heng was about to change to a forest, a figure on the pine tree attracted him.

A red-haired squirrel stood on a branch, looking at him stupidly. It was only five meters away and there was no cover.

Lin Heng carefully took out the slingshot from his waist and the round pebbles he picked up on the way up the mountain. After taking aim, he was about to launch when a sound suddenly came from behind him: "Wow...pee...pee..."

The daughter's sharp scream scared the squirrel and it scurried to the top of the tree.

Lin Heng was helpless: "..."

Putting down the backpack, Lin Heng found that his daughter had wet her diaper and her pants, and she kept crying.

"You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

Lin Heng helplessly took her out of the carrier, took out the wet diaper and placed it on a branch nearby, patting her back to coax her not to cry.

"Wow wow... wow..."

However, the more she was coaxed, the more she cried. Children are like this, they cry whenever they want, for no reason at all. After a while, Chen Xiulan heard a voice and came over: "Give it to me, the child is probably hungry."

She was a little shocked when she saw that her husband was not angry because his daughter was crying and was still trying to comfort the child.

After receiving her daughter, Chen Xiulan pulled up her clothes and fed her. In this era, there was no milk powder, and many children were not yet weaned at the age of two or three.

Lin Heng looked at his wife's fair skin and felt it was dazzling. Her young body was a little hot. His wife was really rich, almost as big as his daughter's head.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before!" Chen Xiulan blushed a little, mainly because of Lin Heng's perverted eyes.

"Haha, who makes my wife so attractive?" Lin Heng chuckled and looked at his wife's basket, which contained a pound of pine fungi.

"It's too rotten, otherwise I could pick up two pounds." Chen Xiulan's face was full of pity.

"Then rest here for a while, and I'll take a look around again." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.

"Go, pay attention to safety, be careful of snakes and bees." Chen Xiulan nodded and warned.

Lin Heng poured the pine fungus on the ground and walked toward the mountain on the left. His wife just walked on the right.

After walking for more than a thousand meters, he didn't see any good fungi, so he was about to turn back. The sound of leaves crunching in the distance startled him.

Turning around, I saw a gray squirrel on the stone three meters away.

"You're so close, I'd be sorry if I didn't hit you!"

Lin Heng sighed inwardly, quietly took out the slingshot in his hand, took aim, and shot out with a whoosh.

With a snap, it hit the squirrel on the head. The poor gray squirrel twitched twice and died.

"It seems the accuracy is good!" Lin Heng was very satisfied. The main reason was that it was too close. He hadn't touched this thing for a long time, so he was still a little worried.

He was glad that he had gone to the archery club to practice specifically in his previous life, otherwise he would not have been so accurate.

"It's almost a pound. The skin can be sold for three or four yuan, and the meat is enough for a meal." Lin Heng grinned. This was his first harvest after his rebirth.

After putting the squirrel into the basket, Lin Heng continued walking forward, feeling that he was lucky today.

Generally, squirrels don't get so close to people, and most of them live in trees, so it's difficult to hit them because they are blocked by branches.

“Chanterelles!!”

After walking a few dozen meters, Lin Heng could not help but cheer. There were dozens of golden chanterelles on both sides of the path.

In his opinion, this fungus is more delicious than pine fungus. It is golden, trumpet-shaped, and often has wavy edges. It is also more expensive than pine fungus. It costs [-] cents a pound wet, but can be sold for [-] or [-] cents when dried. A pound of money.

However, when he picked one up and tore it open, Lin Heng was speechless. It was rotten.

Sometimes he couldn't understand how these worms could grow so fast. Sometimes the fungi that had just emerged wouldn't even take half a day to grow. There were also the small fungi that had just grown out, all of which were infested with worms.

The speed is too fast.

"Forget it, just pick it up and feed it to the pigs!"

Lin Heng shook his head, feeling it was such a pity.

I only picked up more than thirty good ones, weighing six or seven taels, and the bad ones weighed more than a kilogram.

Without a watch, he didn't know that he had been walking in the woods for a long time, so he decided to go back to find his wife.

"Xiulan!"

Lin Heng shouted while looking for fungi.

"Here, come here, I found something good!"

Not long after, Lin Heng heard his wife reply, her voice filled with excitement, as if she had discovered something good.
