The happy little days of the Ye family

When Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing went down to the foot of the mountain, they happened to encounter Tang Shan carrying mushrooms on his back, followed by the majestic Da Huang and Xiao Huang.

The three people poured the mushrooms onto the bullock cart, and at this time, one after another long-term workers carried the mushrooms down the mountain.

The father and son of the Tang family drove an ox cart over, and the long-term workers poured the mushrooms onto the ox cart.

There is no place to dry at the foot of the mountain. Every time they pick mushrooms on the mountain, the father and son transport them home to dry.

After bringing down the mushrooms, Changgong went back to the house at the foot of the mountain to make lunch, while Ye Qingqing and the three of them sat around and ate the pancakes they had brought over in the morning.

Ye Qingqing specially added eggs to this pancake, which is delicious but not hard.

Although Da Huang and Xiao Huang were on the mountain and caught some small animals to eat, they did not dislike the pancakes Ye Qingqing handed over and squatted aside to nibble on the pancakes.

In the afternoon, Tang Xiaojing still took Ye Qingqing to Rabbit Mountain to pick mushrooms. As soon as they set off, Dahuang and Xiaohuang ran over.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang have been in the Ye family since they were young. They grew up with Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing, and they are particularly close to them.

Normally, Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing would follow them wherever they went. If Tangshan hadn't dragged Dahuang and Xiaohuang to Stone Mountain in the morning, they would have followed Ye Qingqing to Rabbit Mountain.

In the morning, the two of them had already visited the front of Rabbit Mountain. In the afternoon, Tang Xiaojing planned to take Ye Qingqing to the side of Rabbit Mountain to pick mushrooms.

The front that they went to in the morning was facing the sun, and the side they went to in the afternoon was shady. There were many rotten leaves and moss on the ground, and mushrooms grew better.

"So many mushrooms."

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw several kinds of mushrooms in the grass, and Ye Qingqing was immediately excited.

In addition to the common green head fungi, straw mushrooms and aeruginosa, Ye Qingqing also discovered porcini and shiitake mushrooms.

The young couple still worked together as in the morning, one person looked for mushrooms and the other dug mushrooms.

There were all kinds of mushrooms around, and Ye Qingqing felt like he couldn't even see them.

Tang Xiaojing had even dug up several branches in order to dig mushrooms.

There are more mushrooms here, but there are relatively few gallinophilia. After picking most of the mushrooms in the basket, I only picked three gallinobacteria, and there are also relatively few red mushrooms.

The mountains here are shady, and there are a lot of rotten trees around, most of which have thick black fungus.

This fungus is also a good thing. It can be used not only for cooking, but also for making steamed buns.

Ye Qingqing directed Tang Xiaojing to collect all the rotten wood with fungus growing on it and pile it together.

Next time it rains, you can come directly to pick black fungus without having to look around.

In the past, the Ye family would transport the rotten wood directly to their home, which was quite labor-intensive.

Ye Qingqing feels that the mountains here are shady and humid. As long as it rains, the fungus will basically continue to grow, so there is no need to exert effort to carry it home.

Mushrooms like to grow in dark and moist places, and mountain snakes also like dark and damp places.

Ye Qingqing had just discovered a few mushrooms, and before he could call out to Tang Xiaojing, the barking sounds of Dahuang and Xiaohuang were heard not far away.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang are wolfdogs who have been hunting small animals in the mountains since they were young. They have never been barking like they are today.

Tang Xiaojing hurried over with Ye Qingqing. Halfway there, Tang Xiaojing found a large leafy tree and asked Ye Qingqing to climb up.

"There may be danger ahead. You wait for me here first. I'll go over to see what's going on with Dahuang and Xiaohuang. I'll pick you up later."

"Okay, then be careful."

Ye Qingqing also knew that following him would only hold him back, so he climbed onto the tree trunk obediently.

"Don't come down until I come back to pick you up."

Dahuang's voice in front became even more pitiful. Tang Xiaojing hurriedly warned Ye Qingqing and then ran over.

Tang Xiaojing followed the voices of Dahuang and Xiaohuang and quickly found them.

I saw a big python with a thick wrist wrapped around Dahuang tightly, probably too tightly, and Dahuang kept screaming in pain.

But the python wasn't much better either. Its body was covered in wounds from big yellow and small yellow bites, and its whole body was covered in blood.

The python also noticed Tang Xiaojing's arrival and opened its bloody mouth to attack Tang Xiaojing.

Tang Xiaojing quickly picked up the stone on the ground and hit it accurately into the python's open mouth.

Before the snake could spit out the stone, Tang Xiaojing immediately picked up the machete and slashed at seven inches of the python.

The python and Big Yellow and Little Yellow had been fighting for a long time, and they were already a little exhausted.

After being chopped seven inches, he quickly fell to the ground, and the snake's tail tightly wrapped around Dahuang gradually loosened.

After the snake's tail was loosened, Dahuang quickly twisted his body and easily broke free of the snake's tail tied to his body.

This python was thick and long. Tang Xiaojing estimated that it weighed several kilograms.

Seeing that the snake was no longer moving, Tang Xiaojing stepped forward and gave the python another stab. He only felt relieved after making sure that it was already dead.

Then he turned around and picked a few broad leaves, wrapped the python that could no longer move, and put it in the backpack.

The python is quite big, and with the leaves wrapped around it, it takes up half of the backpack.

After packing up the python, Tang Xiaojing checked Dahuang and Xiaohuang again.

Fortunately, pythons are not poisonous, and Dahuang and Xiaohuang only had some minor injuries and were not seriously injured.

Because he was worried about Ye Qingqing, Tang Xiaojing didn't stay long. After carrying the heavy backpack, he quickly took Dahuang and Xiaohuang back to pick her up.

Ye Qingqing stood on the tree and saw Tang Xiaojing coming with Da Huang and Xiao Huang from a distance.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing and Dahuang Xiaohuang were fine, Ye Qingqing happily jumped down from the tree and ran towards Tang Xiaojing.

Ye Qingqing looked Tang Xiaojing up and down, and when he saw that he was not injured, he asked, "What happened just now?"

"Dahuang and Xiaohuang met a python. Dahuang got entangled by the python, but I have dealt with the python now, so there is no need to be afraid."

Tang Xiaojing knew that Ye Qingqing was afraid of snakes, so he specially wrapped them in leaves and brought them back.

Ye Qingqing saw something wrapped in broad leaves in Tang Xiaojing's basket, and guessed it was the python Tang Xiaojing mentioned.

"This snake is so big, and aren't there too many snakes on Rabbit Mountain?"

During these two trips up the mountain, Ye Qingqing and the others had encountered three snakes, which made Ye Qingqing feel a little scared.

Tang Xiaojing also felt this way, "There are indeed more snakes on the mountain this year than in previous years."

"After picking mushrooms, I'll go find a snake catcher and ask him to come back and catch all the snakes on the mountain."

There are more snakes on Stone Mountain, which is why Tang Xiaojing didn't let Ye Qingqing go to Stone Mountain.

There were many kinds of mushrooms on the mountain, and Ye Qingqing was so attentive that he soon forgot all about snakes and started digging for mushrooms all over the mountain.

There are a lot of mushrooms here, and the mushrooms they collected quickly filled their backpacks and the small basket carried by Ye Qingqing.

The backpack and small basket were full, but Ye Qingqing still didn't want to go down the mountain.

Tang Xiaojing reluctantly picked some banana leaves to hold the mushrooms.

When they couldn't hold it anymore, the young couple happily went down the mountain.
