The happy little days of the Ye family

Early the next morning, Mr. Ye took his whole family to inspect the newly chosen hill.

Half of the newly chosen mountain is covered with bamboo forests. It can be said to be a bamboo forest mountain.

This Bamboo Forest Mountain is located behind Xiaohou Mountain. Because it is far away from the village, almost no one goes there.

No one is walking around, and the road leading to Zhulin Mountain has long been abandoned and overgrown with all kinds of thorns and weeds.

Mr. Ye, Father Ye and Ye Donglin, the three grandfathers and grandsons took sickles to open the way in front, cutting down the weeds and thorns half a person's height, and creating a path.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are fewer people coming here or because the soil is better. The trees and weeds along the way are particularly lush.

The surrounding trees were too lush, and Ye Qingqing was a little scared instinctively. She felt like a beast would run out at any time, and she clutched Ye Mu's arm tightly.

Ye Qingqing was both nervous and excited. Looking at the Bamboo Forest Mountain not far away, he couldn't help but imagine that the trees here grew so well. Are there any precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?

It was also the first time for Ye Xilin to come to Zhulin Mountain. He was extremely curious, looking left and right, and followed Ye Donglin very excitedly.

Because they had to open a road, the family walked for about half an hour before finally arriving at the foot of Zhulin Mountain.

There was a small pond at the foot of the mountain, about the size of a fifth of land. The water inside was quite clear. Ye Qingqing looked down and saw a big fish weighing several kilograms swimming in the pond.

Ye Qingqing shouted excitedly: "What a big fish. There are many big fish in this pond."

Mr. Ye tied the donkey cart to a big tree beside the pond. There were several willow trees beside the pond. The green branches of the willow trees swayed in the spring breeze.

Mr. Ye looked at the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain and said proudly: "This place is not bad. It is at the very edge of the village. Usually no one comes here. There are many fish in this pond, and they are all big fish weighing several kilograms."

"This fish is very fat. The braised fish must be especially delicious." Ye Qingqing looked at the several big fish in the pond and was eager to catch them.

Seeing a few people dilly-dallying, Mrs. Ye quickly urged: "Don't waste time, hurry up and leave. I haven't bought this mountain yet. Let's take a walk today. If it's good, buy it quickly. Don't be robbed." ."

Old man Ye and Ye Donglin were familiar with this mountain, and they led the way with their backpacks on their backs. Mr. Ye introduced the situation of the mountain to his family while clearing the road ahead.

"This mountain is a little bigger than Xiaohoushan, about 170 acres. Three-fifths of this mountain is covered with bamboo forests. It can basically be said to be a bamboo forest mountain."

"The front part of the mountain is full of miscellaneous trees. There are many wild fruit trees on the mountain. And then from the top of the mountain to half of the mountain behind is a bamboo forest."

"This place is relatively far from the village. To pick bamboo shoots, you have to climb to the back. Therefore, few people from the village come to pick bamboo shoots. Buying this mountain will have no impact on the village."

The five people who came here for the first time listened to Mr. Ye's introduction while observing around.

Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Ye Xilin in front shouted excitedly: "There is a small chestnut forest here, everyone, come here quickly."

There are about ten chestnut trees in front, seven or eight of them are relatively large, and then there are four or five of half-sized small trees, which can barely be regarded as a chestnut forest.

Ye Xilin likes to eat chestnuts the most, and he was very happy to see the chestnut forest jumping up and down.

"The two chestnut trees in Xiaohoushan are not enough to eat, so now there will be endless chestnuts to eat, hahaha!"

Looking at the two chestnut trees in front of him, Ye Xilin seemed to see sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut braised chicken and chestnut braised rice waving to him.

"The soil quality of this Zhulin Mountain is better than that of Xiaohou Mountain. Look at how well the trees grow here." Father Ye looked at the lush trees and was quite satisfied with this mountain.

Old Mrs. Ye bent over and grabbed a handful of the soil at her feet. The soil was slightly moist and dark in color, so it seemed to be quite fertile.

When they reached the mountainside, a plump pheasant suddenly passed by Ye Donglin's eyes. Ye Donglin stepped forward and followed it, intending to catch the pheasant and roast it for lunch.

After only a few steps of pursuit, the anxious pheasant flapped its colorful wings and flew up to a nearby tree in the blink of an eye.

The movement was so loud that the hare grazing under the tree was frightened. In a hurry, it bumped into the trunk of the tree and fainted.

Ye Donglin saw the fat gray rabbit fainting after hitting a tree, and quickly stepped forward to tie up the rabbit.

Ye Donglin happily ran back to find Father Ye and the others with the rabbit, "Haha, I'm really angry today. This rabbit weighs at least six or seven kilograms."

"Not bad, not bad. This rabbit is really fat. I'll make braised rabbit when I get home in the evening." The game on the mountain can be said to be free, and Mrs. Ye was quite generous today.

While waiting for Ye Donglin, Mr. Ye found two pheasant nests in the grass nearby, which contained 18 pheasant eggs in total.

Mr. Ye left a wild egg for each chicken nest, and the rest was naturally taken away by Mr. Ye.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Mr. Ye asked a few people to stop and rest for a while. There were several big rocks in the resting place, and there was a clear spring beside the rocks.

Father Ye held the spring water and drank it in big gulps. "This spring water is so delicious and sweet."

As soon as he heard that there was spring water, Ye Qingqing, who was tired and thirsty, ran over quickly, washed his face happily with the spring water, and then drank it.

Ye Qingqing wiped the water on his face with a handkerchief and said with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable, mother, come here quickly, the spring water is so sweet!"

While Ye's mother, Ye Qingqing and the others were drinking water and resting, Ye's father, Mr. Ye and Ye Donglin walked around.

The three of them were really lucky today. Father Ye found some tall persimmon trees, and Ye Donglin found some medicinal herbs with good prices.

Mr. Ye found two more pheasant nests and harvested a dozen pheasant eggs.

When they were approaching the top of the mountain, they discovered a small patch of wild sunflowers.

"This area is growing really well. I will build a beehive here later and I can collect a lot of honey." Father Ye likes this hill more and more the more he looks at it.

Passing through the sunflower field, there is a bamboo forest behind.

The bamboos here grow very well, each one is dozens of meters tall.

There is a thick layer of fallen leaves under your feet. If you push aside the fallen leaves, you can find clusters of mushrooms under the trees.

The dense bamboo leaves completely blocked the sunlight, making the entire bamboo forest look dark and gloomy.
