Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Chapter 35: Planting peppers, unexpected harvest

[Congratulations to the host, the ripening was successful, and 100 kilograms of ribbon cotton were obtained. ]

Lin Ze ripened three quilts in the space in a row before he stopped with satisfaction.

Including old mountain ginseng, he now grows nine kinds of crops in his space.

Lin Ze remembered clearly that as long as he planted ten kinds of crops, he would have another piece of black soil in the space.

"There seem to be some peppers in the space. I think they can be grown."

Thinking of this, Lin Ze ripened the black soil where cotton was grown again.

“Growing peppers.”

[After planting successfully, should it be ripened? 】

"Of course it needs to be ripened!"

[Ripening success, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 kilograms of peppers. ]

[Congratulations to the host, the space has planted 100 kinds of crops and opened up a new piece of black soil. ]

[Twenty kinds of crops have been planted, and a piece of black soil has been opened again. Please keep up the good work, host. 】

Lin Ze nodded to show that he understood, not caring whether the system could see it or not. Then he planted cotton on the two plots of black land except for the ginseng.

If you can’t use all the straw bedding you want, you can replace it for your grandparents. When you return to the city, you can also replace the bedding under your parents’ beds with new ones.

Lin Ze thought so, but he was not in a hurry to ripen the cotton. He would stay in the village for a long time anyway, so there was no need to rush and wait for the cotton to mature slowly.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze slowly fell asleep.

The next day is dawn.

"Brother Ze, Brother Ze, you are back to the village."

"It's really Brother Ze who has returned to the village."

Lin Wen and Lin Wu had been waiting outside Lin Ze's door since early morning. They wanted to come and see Lin Ze yesterday, but were stopped by Lin Musheng.

Lin Musheng knew very well that he was Liu Ying's son. Although he was Lin Ze's biological uncle, there was still a gap between them.

It's okay to go to the old man's house occasionally to eat and drink with Lin Ze, but it's okay to do that for years.

I'm afraid Lin Ze will get tired of it and even take back the filial piety from the old man. It will be too late to regret then.

Wang Erni also thought so, so the couple stopped Lin Wen and Lin Wu.

"Brother Ze, take us to catch crabs!" Lin Wen said excitedly.

Lin Wu also said, "If you don't want to catch crabs, fishing will work too!"

"Why are you two in such a hurry? Have you had breakfast?"

Lin Ze took out a bag of pagoda candies from his jacket pocket and handed them to Lin Wen and Lin Wu. "One candy a day. Don't eat more."

Lin Wen immediately took the pagoda candy and was extremely happy, "Thank you, Brother Ze, we both ate wild vegetable porridge."

Seeing this, Lin Ze smiled, climbed out of the soft quilt, put on his clothes, and led the two children out the door.

"Grandma, is the meal ready?" Lin Ze stretched his neck and looked towards the kitchen.

"It's ready. Your grandma and I have eaten. The rice is in the pot. You can serve it yourself." Lin Changgui loved his eldest grandson, but he didn't spoil him too much. At least he still had to serve himself the rice.

Lin Ze lifted the lid of the pot and saw wild vegetable soup with three steamed buns left on the edge of the pot.

Lin Ze was helpless. People of this era were used to being frugal, and having wild vegetable porridge to drink was already a good life.

Lin Ze served himself a bowl of porridge and a few white flour buns and put them in his space to eat after he went up the mountain.

Lin Wen and Lin Wu rushed to fan Lin Changgui, "Master, are you feeling cool?"

"It's cool, very cool!"

The old man was so touched by his grandson's filial piety that he closed his eyes for a while and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Lin Ze called Lin Wen and Lin Wu to leave Lin Changgui's house.

"You two, don't disturb my sleep."

Lin Ze said, "I'm not going to go fishing or catching crabs today. If you two get bored of staying in the village, come jogging with me and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms."

"Whoever picks the mushrooms owns them." Lin Ze said with a smile, "If I catch a pheasant, I can give one to you."

"Really, Ze-ge?"

Lin Wen's eyes widened. He had followed Wang Erni up the mountain and dug wild vegetables there before, but after the wild wolf incident some time ago, Wang Erni no longer allowed them to go up the mountain.

"Of course it's true, but you need to run with me." Lin Ze said.

Lin Ze hopes that Lin Wen and Lin Wu can also have a good physique. His cousins ​​are also his brothers, and he really likes these two boys.

With the company of Lin Wen and Lin Wu, Lin Ze walked even faster, and always left some mushrooms for the two little ones when climbing the mountain.

Born in the mountains, Lin Wen and Lin Wu also know which mushrooms are edible and which are not.

The three of them quickly climbed to the top of Dongshan Mountain.

"Brother Ze, all the edible mushrooms on this mountain have been picked by my mom and grandma." Lin Wen said.

"Now that we have discovered the sun, do you two dare to follow me to Nanshan?" Lin Ze asked.

Lin Wu looked towards the dense forests on the other side of Nanshan Mountain, straightened his back and said, "I dare, of course I dare!"

Lin Wen was a little hesitant, and just when he was about to give up, Lin Ze took out a spear from his backpack.

"Don't be afraid. If you encounter danger, Big Brother will protect you."

Lin Ze smiled again and said seriously, "There is a trap I dug inside. I must go in and take a look. If you really don't dare to go in, just stay here or go down the mountain early. It's all fine."

Lin Wen no longer hesitated. He could feel that this was his only chance to catch up with Lin Ze.

"Brother Ze, we will follow you into Nanshan."

Lin Ze nodded and stopped talking, then turned and walked towards the depths of Nanshan.

They soon arrived at the canyon where he had dug ginseng last time. Lin Ze hadn't been to the canyon for half a month, and the place was full of mushrooms again.

Lin Wen and Lin Wu were picking fruits and could not stop. "Brother Ze really knows how to find a good place. This is truly a treasure land!"

"Yeah, let's call grandma and mom over next time?" Lin Wu said.

Lin Wen shook his head repeatedly, looked at Lin Ze who was digging wild onions not far away, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell mom and grandma. If you tell them, I'm afraid we won't be able to come here either."

Lin Wu nodded repeatedly, made a gesture to keep quiet, and stopped talking.

Lin Ze greeted the two and asked them to pick mushrooms where they were while he went deeper to check out the trap.

"Brother Ze, don't worry, we will wait for you here."

Lin Ze nodded and ran quickly towards the trap.

Lin Ze came to the trap and found it empty, feeling disappointed.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a roar. Lin Ze's heart tightened, and he clenched the spear in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

“Hehe, hehe…”

The cry was getting closer and closer, and Lin Ze finally saw the animal that made the sound, a medium-sized wild boar.

It rushed towards Lin Ze angrily, as if it was enraged.

Lin Ze was not afraid at all. He quickly dodged to the side and raised his spear and stabbed the wild boar with the bayonet.

The wild boar became even more crazy after being stung. It turned around and pounced on Lin Ze again.

Lin Ze dodged the wild boar's attack flexibly, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Finally, he saw the right moment and thrust his spear into the wild boar's abdomen.

The wild boar screamed, blood gushed out of its abdomen, and it fell to the ground.

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over to the wild boar and stabbed it a few more times to make sure it was dead.

"This is an unexpected gain." Lin Ze said to himself.
