pastoral fragrance

Chapter 176
Not long after, Sophora Hua had changed into her clothes, combed her braids and tied them with blue cloth.Afraid of slipping on the road, Huai Hua asked Huai Hua to put on a pair of straw sandals and told her to be careful in everything.Huaihua nodded, and went to Qiulin's house with Qiuyue.

After leaving the courtyard of Huaihua's house, Qiuyue saw the earth walls and black tiles outlined in the faint mist, and the place not far from Huaihua's house was Xu Liuer's house.Qiuyue said: "Let's call Xu Liu'er as well, lest we pick mushrooms at that time, and she won't obey when she sees it."

Huaihua nodded without hesitation, "Then Qiuyue, go and shout, I'll wait for you here."

Qiuyue went to Liu'er's house along the Qingshiban road, but she didn't step into the yard of Liu'er's house, she just stood under a plum tree not far from Liu'er's house and called, "Liu'er, are you home?"

Not long after, Qiuyue saw Xu Liuer running out of the main room.Qiuyue quickly told her about picking mushrooms. Liu'er is also a lively person, so naturally she didn't want to miss it.He quickly agreed, went back to the house and took a bamboo basket, put a pair of straw sandals on the shoes amidst her mother's nagging, and ran towards Qiuyue.

The two walked to the gate of Sophora's house together, and Liu Er found that it was Sophora standing at the gate.She also wore a pair of straw sandals on her shoes, her trouser legs were tied tightly, and she was holding a bamboo basket in her hand.Seeing that her face was still a little pale, Liu'er couldn't help asking: "Sophora pagoda, are you better now?"

In fact, Liu'er used to despise Sophora japonica a little bit, but since the last time Sophora japonica dived into the water because of this incident, such thoughts in Liu'er's mind have dissipated little by little.Presumably after this incident, Huaihua herself will change her past, and will not do those stupid things again.

With a smile on the corner of Sophora's mouth, she nodded and said nothing.

Qiuyue noticed that Xu Changshan, the neighbor of Sophora japonica, was standing next to Sophora japonica, so she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Changshan, why are you here?"

Xu Changshan couldn't take his eyes off Sophora japonica, and said, "Sophora japonica is still weak, so I'll go with you. If Sophora japonica can't walk anymore, I'll carry her on my back." Xu Changshan's eyes glowed with something. This kind of firm gaze shocked people's hearts.

Huai Hua blushed on his cheeks when he said these words, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, why do you want me to carry it?" The voice sounded soft, not like she was blaming but like she was acting like a baby.She probably didn't notice the tone that was so different from usual.

Qiuyue and Xu Liu'er looked at each other. Seeing the shy looks on their faces, there was something going on between these two!
Xu Changshan is an honest man, how could he know that Nvwa's family is full of flowers and intestines, his face turned red at this moment, and he said honestly: "Okay, okay, don't recite it."

Qiuyue Liu'er laughed, this fool doesn't know what's going on in Nvwa's family.Seeing Sophora japonica's face darken slightly, the two couldn't help but feel happy. Playing riddles with honest people is simply suffering, and in the end it is themselves who are angry.

Everyone went to Qiulin's house while talking.It is agreeable that they have already arrived at Qiulin's house, and they are waiting for them right now.At this moment, the crowd was already gathered, and everyone went into the woods in groups.

Not only did everyone carry a basket, but they also held a bamboo pole that they had picked up from nowhere.When everyone walked into the woods, they tapped in the surrounding grass every step of the way.Xu Nuo also came here by agreement with his sister, who is walking in front and back at the moment, behind the Changshan Palace, sandwiching the girls' homes, so that the girls' homes will be safer, and there will be people protecting them from the back and forth, so that they won't be caught in the middle. Things in the grass are also bitten.

Everyone just walked step by step like this. Although the walk was a bit slow, it was considered steady.As soon as the bamboo pole was knocked, those insects and snakes would retreat on their own initiative, so that they would not attack people.

After arriving in the woods, everyone felt relieved.There are many trees in this forest, and the green grass covers the shoes, so green and lovely.There are many off-white mushrooms hidden in the shallow grass under the big trees, like white flowers on the green grass.

Qiulin's eyes lit up, his face beaming with joy, and he was about to run over to pick mushrooms.

"Wait, snakes are the easiest to hide in this meadow. Let's tap for a while, don't rush to pick up mushrooms." It's better to be careful when picking up mushrooms, lest a snake jump out, which is not good.

After hearing this, Qiu Lin regained his composure.I was too excited to see the mushroom just now, and I forgot about it for a while.So she hastened to tap the grass carefully.Sure enough, at this moment a long white snake came out along the grass, swayed its body hard, and quickly went deep into the jungle.

"Wow, there really is a snake!" Seeing the two-meter-long flower snake, everyone was taken aback.

Qiulin patted the little girl who was still in fear. Fortunately, someone reminded her just now, otherwise she would have stepped on it and would have been bitten by the snake.You know, Qiulin is the most afraid of pain.

After this incident, everyone didn't dare to be careless anymore, and they all beat the grass carefully.

The weeds that had been trampled by everyone could no longer straighten up, and crawled on the ground like deflated rubber balls, and those small mushrooms were obvious.

Seeing so many mushrooms, everyone happily hurried over to pick them.Sophora japonica was not to be outdone, but her body was weaker, and she became tired after a while.

Xu Changshan saw Sophora kept wiping the sweat from her forehead, and knew that she was tired, so he said, "Go to a rock and sit on a rest for a while, I'll just pick mushrooms for you."

After two consecutive days of rain, the soil in the meadow was extremely wet, and the off-white mushrooms grew with fat stems and thick leaves.Especially fat and strong, very gratifying.

"There are so many mushrooms here. No one would come here in the forest at this time of year. It's a pity that these mushrooms have grown to death!" Mei Xiang thought that the mushrooms would grow like this in previous years, but at that time no one I never thought about coming to the forest, these delicious and fat mushrooms are growing and withering silently like this, it hurts to think about it!

"Aren't you talking nonsense, don't sigh, it's serious to pick up mushrooms quickly." He Xiang worked diligently, and picked up several mushrooms and put them into the bamboo basket in the middle of talking.

"That's true." Mei Xiang didn't lament that some of them were gone, and quickly pinched the mushrooms in front of her one by one, and put them into the basket.

The girls are all used to working, and they are all of the type with slow movements when doing things.Qiulin was still young, so his small arms and legs were naturally not as good as theirs, but now he had already picked half of the basket of mushrooms.She raised her head and looked towards the jungle not far away. The whiteness of mushrooms was hidden in the lush green, which looked like gardenias in full bloom.Qiulin grinned from ear to ear, "Look, there are a lot of them here. If I knew it earlier, we should carry a backpack or something, and pick more to go home."

Anyway, these endless mushrooms can also be dried and stewed to drink, the taste is not ordinary delicious.Moreover, these mushrooms are not artificially cultivated like the current ones, and the taste is even more natural and delicious. Thinking about it this way, Qiulin's saliva is almost drooling.

The mushrooms in this area have been stripped to pieces, and everyone will stop picking them.Keep these for now, maybe in a few days, fresh mushrooms will grow again, and then you can pick them again.

When it rained, the mushrooms in the forest grew like a maple, and soon everyone picked a bamboo basket full, even the basket of Sophora japonica was also filled with a basket full of mushrooms.And there are still a lot of mushrooms in this forest, it seems that I will only pick them next time.

Mei Xiang felt a little unfulfilled, who knew that mushrooms were so willing to grow in the forest, they could grow everywhere, it was really gratifying.He said sullenly, "Next time we come here, we'll all carry baskets on our backs. There are really a lot of mushrooms, and they can definitely fit a few big baskets."

Looking at the gray and white mushrooms everywhere, everyone is a little bitter and bitter.I can't wait to pick all the mushrooms on the ground and go home.Everyone finally thought of a way to put the mushrooms in their pockets, and then tie the corners of the clothes with a knot, so that they could hold more mushrooms.

I filled my pockets to the brim, and there was nowhere to put them anymore, so everyone had no choice but to reluctantly go to the village.

As soon as everyone came out of the woods, they walked back along the road they came from, when they saw a woman with a hoe walking towards this side.The woman was wearing gray clothes, with a cloth scarf wrapped around her head, her brows were not friendly, her eyes were shrewd, so who is this Fang?

This is not a good match, everyone looks at her and wants to take a detour!
But if you try to avoid it, someone just won't let you.Fang's sharp eyes noticed that the children walking towards them were all carrying a bamboo basket without exception, and their stomachs were also bulging, which seemed to contain a lot of good things.Fang shrewdly glanced at the bamboo basket, the gray and white ones were mushrooms!

Fang's eyes lit up!Although this mushroom is comparable to big fish and big meat, it tastes much better than those stuffed corn soup.Fang is not good at management, and she is lazy. She refuses to feed more chickens and ducks in the house. She hasn't tasted fresh meat for a long time. Lost appetite.Now that these fat mushrooms jumped into her eyes, she was like a cat seeing a mouse!

"Hey, you picked these mushrooms in the woods. Show them to my aunt, and I'll go pick some up and cook some soup." Fang's eyes were greedy, and she almost pounced on everyone. All the mushrooms were snatched away.

This Fang family is annoying, Qiuyue Qiulin's family is against her, so promise her a fart now.Qiuyue Qiulin didn't speak, and those who ignored Fang's.This person has a very bad reputation in the village. He is small-minded and likes to gossip.Qiuyue squinted at her a few times, and walked over without saying a word.

Fang's feet were so angry that they ignored her like this, it was really abominable!Hmph, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to pick up mushrooms. Pooh, I went by myself and picked up more mushrooms than you!
