Chapter 59 Berries in the Mountains

   Mu Zhihong frowned, and he had no choice but to leave.

   He suddenly remembered that he had smelled the fragrance coming from the direction of their kitchen from a long distance just now. He had planned to go to the kitchen to have a look, but he was interrupted by Mo Yunshen, so he couldn't go.

   Came to Mu Zhihong's house, the big tortoise was still lying there like a rock, motionless, Mu Zhihong's eyes were full of disgust: "You quickly find a way to get it away!"

Mu Zhihong was secretly amused, pretended to give a salutation to the big turtle, and carefully accompanied the smiling face: "Mr. Turtle, Lord Turtle, come with me, we will catch the fish to feed you, and keep it for you to eat enough, okay? You see you are here, you can only hibernate, what's the fun?"

   Mu Zhihong and Mrs Jiang were speechless for a while, and they felt a little contempt in their hearts: It's shameful for a man to be so humble to a turtle! Simply shameful!

   But, the big tortoise just eats this one, "Bah!" With a sound, his head and tail stretched out, raised his head, and gave Mo Yun a deep look arrogantly.

  Mo Yunshen still smiled embarrassingly and showed no temper: "Master Turtle, please!"

  The big turtle raised his head high, took a proud step and left Mu Zhihong's house with a sway, without even glancing at Mu Zhihong and Jiang's out of the corner of his eyes.

  Mo Yunshen said goodbye to them, turned around and left with the big turtle.

   Leaving Mu Zhihong's house far enough, Mo Yunshen jumped onto the back of the big turtle, and patted the back of its neck with a big palm: "Go back quickly, don't linger!"

  The big tortoise "Whoo!" let go of its hooves and ran, where there is still half a point of arrogance.

   On the other side, Mu Zhihong said with infinite contempt: "To make myself look like a grandson in front of that old turtle, our family can't afford such a thing, shame!"

   He finally felt complete in his heart.

  Jiang also agrees.

   What if I just thought about making it look like a grandson? After all, the **** turtle helped them work, and there are several laborers on the top. Alas, it is still a big loss even if you come from home...

  The big tortoise finally came back, Xiaoyaer and Xiaoluan were very happy, hugged its neck, patted its back, and cried and laughed very happily.

   After getting along these days, the big tortoise also liked them quite a bit, stretched out his head and rubbed them on them intimately, and motioned them to climb on its back, carrying them and ran twice in the wide yard. Make the little sister and brother giggle happily.

   The next morning, the big turtle followed Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen to chop wood as usual.

   When she was about to go out, Xiao Ya'er suddenly said: "By the way, elder sister, Brother Gao said yesterday that he asked you to go to pick salt together in two days, so that you can come over these two days when you have time to discuss and discuss the date."

   Picking salt? It seems to be the case.

   Every year before the rainy season, the salt is collected, and the salt that is collected is often eaten for a year. Pick it up a year later.

   is the best season to harvest. After the rainy season, there is too much rain, and it is more troublesome to harvest salt.

   Therefore, people in the village would go in groups and gangs to pick up salt almost every year at this time of year.

   The salt here is exceptionally good, with a faint peach pink in the snow-white, with a special fragrance, which is very good for cooking.

  This salt also has a nice name, called peach blossom salt.

  It can be used for pickled vegetables and cured meat, and it can be kept for two or three years without spoiling.

  If you are bitten by mosquitoes, work in the mountains, or get bitten by snakes, insects and ants, you should go home and mix it with warm water into light salt water, and wash it two or three times.

   "Okay, when we come back today, we will go to their house." Mu Qingli said after discussing with Mo Yunshen.

   Xiao Ya'er smiled and said, "Then can we go to accompany Aunt Tang?"

   Thinking that they are still children, naturally they should go out and play with other children, it is not a problem to be locked at home all day.

   "Then let's go!" Mu Qingli said with a smile: "Bring some water taro and bamboo shoots, and eat there at noon."

  Although Aunt Tang and the others couldn't afford to eat half a meal for two children, after all, they are not relatives, and in a place where food is precious, it is not always good to go to other people's houses to eat and drink for free.

   The younger sister and brother obviously understood this, and they agreed with a burst of cheers.

   Xiaoya'er said again: "Sister, you don't need to bring it. We can go and help Aunt Tang pull wild vegetables."

   Mu Qingli's heart softened when he heard it, and smiled: "If you want to help, help, don't treat it as a task. My sister and brother-in-law can support you, how can you use you to do child labor and eat! Right?"

   "What your sister said is," Mo Yun said with a deep smile: "Don't worry about this in the future."

   The little sister and brother blushed, and nodded a little shyly: "Understood, sister, brother-in-law."

  Mu Qingli originally planned to leave them a key, but the younger sister and brother were unanimous. Said to wait for them to come back and then go home.

  Xiaoluan said hesitantly, "If Mu Fangping comes to grab the key, we're afraid we won't be able to beat her."

   Actually, it's not necessarily that they can't beat her, but Mu Fangping has the support of her parents, and she has the status of an older sister. As younger brothers and sisters, they don't dare to do anything to her.

   Mu Qingli sighed and had to give up. Then keep locking the door.

   Today, the two of them continued to chop wood in yesterday's woods where the trees were huge and the place was wide and clear.

   With Xiao Ya'er from last night, the two of them were obviously a lot calmer today.

   After cutting for a long time, he collected six or seven huge branches, each of which was more than ten feet long.

  According to Xiaoya'er's words, one split is enough to burn for more than a month, not to mention that there are piles of firewood of various sizes like hills, and there are at least five or six bundles in bundles.

   "Let's walk around in the afternoon to see if there is anything fresh to eat nearby." Mu Qingli said.

   "Okay!" Mo Yunshen also thought that finding food was more interesting than chopping wood. Maybe you really found something new.

After lunch, the two of them picked a direction and walked forward. This piece of woods was just right, bright and transparent. The sun was shining down, the birds chirping was crisp and sweet, and the leaves were rustling by the wind. .

   It is very pleasant to walk during the period.

   "Ah, a lot of raspberries! Hey, there are raspberries over there! Now we have a good time!"

   In front of it is a large expanse of small green shrubs that are taller than the knees, dotted with countless thumb-sized red berries, so tempting. This is raspberry.

   In the front left, there are also patches of shrubs. This patch is about to grow taller, one or two meters high, and the branches are also covered with thumb-red berries. This is a raspberry.

   Although both of these berries are red, the raspberry is more vivid red, the fruit is hollow and looks larger; while the raspberry fruit is shaped like a reduced version of a hazelnut and is dark red.

   Looking at the babies with tears in their eyes, begging for tickets, begging to be added to the bookshelf~~~
