Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 44 Accident (Part [-])
Chapter 44 Accident

It has been a long time since there has been a drop of rain in the mountains. Most of the irrigation is from the mountain springs. The long-term dryness has not enough spring water.In addition, rapeseed will be planted in the next few days, and this autumn rain is as expensive as oil.

Jin Xi listened to the sound of the rain outside and slept soundly, dreamless all night.

Wake up the next day, the sky has cleared.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Sun family only chose one mu of land to plant rapeseed on the slopes halfway up the mountain.One mu of rapeseed, ground into rapeseed oil, is enough to feed the three members of Sun's family for a whole year.

The ground after a lot of rain was relatively soft, so Liang Yuzhong proposed to plant the Sun family's rapeseed, and the Sun family naturally had no objection.The couple did what they wanted to do, and together with Sun Yubao and Jinxi, the four of them planted the rapeseed in one day and paid early labor.

At home, Sun Yuxia stayed behind to serve the food, make medicine for Mrs. Sun, and take care of Jinrou.

The rape had just been planted, and it rained again that night, which made everyone happy.

On the second day, the sun came out again, and Sun and Liang Yuzhong, with their stuff and ropes made of straw, went to the mountain to cuddle and pine.These two couples are good hands at work, and they are willing to work hard. During this hug, pine hairs piled up in the backyard of Sun's family.

Because it had just rained, the pine wool was damp, so it was loosely spread out to dry, and then hugged together at night and covered with rainproof felt.

Mrs. Sun and Liang Yuzhong stayed in Sunjiagou for three days. Mrs. Sun's body had obviously recovered and she was able to go to the fields to do some simple housework, so Mrs. Sun was really relieved.

On the fourth day, just before dawn, the couple set off to return to Lao Liang's house, leaving Jinxi and Jinrou in Sunjiagou.As for why the two sisters were left here, Mrs. Sun must have roughly mentioned what happened to Old Liang's family in the past few days to Mrs. Sun.

Because when Mrs. Sun looked at Jinxi and Jinrou, especially Jinxi's eyes, she was filled with an indescribable pity.

Although Mrs. Sun was reluctant to let her eldest daughter go, but because she left behind her two granddaughters, the old man's thoughts were quickly diverted, and she focused on how to take good care of the two granddaughters.

After sending Sun and Liang Yuzhong away, Sun Yuxia found a bamboo basket on her arm, and asked Jin Xi to go to the back mountain to pick mushrooms together.Since Jinrou was young, she was left at home with Granny. As for what Sun Yubao was busy with, Jin Xi didn't care much.

After the fresh rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn.

In the mountains where it has rained twice, the air is exceptionally fresh, mixed with the fragrance of soil and vegetation.The fallen leaves and dead grass are wet and sticky, and walking on them seems to be stepping on soft clouds.

Straw mushroom is a kind of fungus unique to this solar term in this area, and it likes to grow in dark and humid places.Under the tree roots, in the crevices of the stones, and in the bushes of thorns, the umbrella-shaped shape is very similar to a yellow fallen leaf.

Sun Yuxia taught by example and words all the way, Jinxi listened carefully, the stick in her hand was gently pounded in the cracks of the mixed stones on the side of the road, and the dead leaves were pushed aside to search carefully. Fortunately, the eyesight of this body is extremely good. Standard, if it was the high degree of myopia in the previous life, Jin Xi would not come here to toss about.

"Well, yes, that's how it is! Our Xi'er's brain is really good, I can understand it as soon as I talk about it, last time I brought Qinya from the village, and I taught it several times, but I still don't understand!" Sun Yuxia saw Jinxi like Sun Yuxia plucked a straw mushroom the size of a child's palm behind a small pine tree, and Sun Yuxia was full of praise.

Jin Xi puts the first victory fruit into a bamboo basket. In fact, Jin Xi knew how to pick mushrooms in her previous life.My aunt's family also lives in such a hilly area. There are many children in the family, and Jinxi lives under the fence. What kind of farming has she not done?Even if you haven't done it, you've definitely seen others do it.

Jin Xi smiled shyly at Sun Yuxia: "It's better to be taught by my aunt."

"The back mountain is next to the village. Although there are not many tigers and wolves in the mountain, we should not go to the remote place over there! Hey, there is a small road over there. It is not too rough. It should be a person who goes up the mountain to hunt and chop firewood. If you step on it, maybe you will meet a few villagers! Even if a roe or two foxes escape, we are not afraid, let's go to the road to pick them." There was a fork in the road ahead, and Sun Yuxia He looked around and said.

Jin Xi also looked around, there is no end to the mountains in this area.For the sake of safety, it is better to walk around the mountain near the village, so they nodded readily, and the two talked and laughed and walked deep into the relatively flat path.

After searching all the way, the harvest was really not small. After a while, the bamboo basket Sun Yuxia was carrying was half full of straw mushrooms.

"Auntie, these straw mushrooms are fresh, there is more than they can eat, should they be dried and stored?" Jin Xi asked out of breath.

"It's just that, the people in the mountains have nothing else. The most indispensable thing is these dried goods. Dried straw mushrooms, dried fungus, dried bamboo shoots, etc., may be used for rations when they are green and yellow!" Sun Yuxia said.

"I never thought of taking these dry goods and going to the town to buy and sell?"

"What do you sell? I make some stuff for my own stomach. The amount I prepare is not large. It is enough for my own food. If you take it out and sell it, you can't sell it. Straw mushrooms are not only available in our mountains. , You also have it in Jinjishan Village outside of you, even if you sell it, you can't sell it at a high price! After deducting the money for the time and time, you have to stay in the restaurant for dinner, and the rest will be useless!"

The traffic problem is really an obstacle, but luck and misfortune go hand in hand, and disadvantages can sometimes turn into advantages.

Jin Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "You can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Does that aunt know that there are some good wild goods in the deep mountains that are not common in the mountains outside? It's not easy for outsiders to go into the mountains , it will be different when we enter the deep mountains, if only we can get such rare wild goods, it would be great!"

Sun Yuxia pondered for a while, then said: "You said here, I really think of something. In the deep mountain, there is a kind of mushroom, which is fiery red. We mountain people call it blood mushroom. According to the salesman in the village, Those rich people in the town outside the mountain and the county are very rare about the blood mushroom, it is said that the stuff is good for nourishing the body, nourishing the blood, and promoting milk are the best, but it is very hard to find!"

Jin Xi's eyes brightened, "Why is it hard to find a way?"

"The blood mushrooms grow in deep mountains and old forests, and they like to grow beside graves. The older the graves, the better the blood mushrooms grow. The biggest ones can be as big as a gardenia flower!" Sun Yuxia said : "I also heard this from the elderly people in the village, and I don't know if it's true. Anyway, the mushrooms that grow in those places sound like evil, so let's stop talking about them!"

Jin Xi seems to have kicked something under her feet, she staggers, and falls forward, but fortunately she quickly supports the pine tree beside her so she doesn't fall.

"Hiss..." She suddenly let out a low voice, looked down, and at some point, her left foot was inserted into a wire loop.

The wire was obviously equipped with traps. As soon as she lifted her foot, the confinement at the ankle became tighter. Fortunately, before going out, she specially wore thick socks to prevent insects and ants in the mountains. Transparent wires are strangled into the flesh.
