The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

The next day, Qi Feifei walked the same route as the day before. She felt tired, so she took a break, caught some fish, and got some food for Doubao. It was nice.

She was walking along the road, eating a big pancake and pickled vegetables. She vaguely felt some movement behind her, and worried that there might be a wolf or something, so she became alert and paid close attention.

As the branches swayed, I seemed to see someone in dark blue clothes. Was there someone following her? Maybe the villagers heard that she could pick a lot of mushrooms every day, so it was not surprising that they followed her.

She did not go back into the courtyard, nor did she go fishing. She went straight into the mountains.

As soon as she got up the hillside, she found a large area of ​​mushrooms not far away, and she started picking them.

She didn't pay much attention when she heard people walking around. Everyone was picking mushrooms, so they just picked their own.

As they got closer, she felt a little disgusted. It was such a big mountain, there was no need to get so close to pick up the trash.

When she turned around, she saw two burly men, one carrying a basket, but they were not picking mushrooms. Instead, they were walking straight towards her.

Qi Feifei couldn't help but frown. She knew these two people. They were the brothers of Zheng Er's wife, Cai Daxiong and Cai Erniu. Her family was quite far away. Why did she come here to pick mushrooms?

She stood up cautiously.

Cai Daxiong: "Girl, you come all the way here to pick mushrooms by yourself, aren't you afraid?"

Qi Feifei slowly picked up the basket, looked at him vigilantly, and said nothing.

Cai Daxiong said in a friendly manner: "Are you tired? How about we help you pick them?"

Cai Erniu pulled his brother's sleeve. Didn't we agree to steal her mushrooms before we came? Just to scare her.

Cai Daxiong ignored his brother and walked forward: "Let me see, what kind of mushrooms are you picking?"

Qi Feifei saw him moving forward, then stepped back and kept his distance.

Cai Daxiong: "It's quite scary in this mountain. Let's go together. We two brothers can help you get it when we go back."

Qi Feifei didn't want to pay attention to them: "You guys pick it up here, I'll go somewhere else." Then he turned around and left.

Cai Daxiong: "Don't go, girl. Take a break. Let's pick up the things together. Don't be in a hurry." As he said that, he wanted to come up and pull her.

Qi Feifei struggled and a piece of his sleeve was torn off. Qi Feifei ran away and the two brothers of the Cai family chased him.

Seeing that the Cai brothers were chasing them in a hurry, he didn't care about the snakes or the mushroom baskets, and ran straight into the mountains. However, he didn't let go of the sickle, thinking that he would use the knife to hit them if necessary.

After chasing for a long time, Qi Feifei was so fast that the Cai brothers were exhausted and stopped. Cai Daxiong: "Forget it, she must have been scared enough today. Let's go back and pick up the mushrooms we just caught. It's a big harvest."

Cai Erniu: "Brother, I also picked up her basket. It's still new and worth fifty cents."

Cai Daxiong: "Let's go pick mushrooms."

Qi Feifei was so angry that she almost died. Why were all the people in this family so evil?

Seeing that they were walking back and stopped chasing them, she entered the courtyard.

After a closer look, she found that her clothes and pants were all torn! She went to the servants' room to look for it again, and she really found a needle and thread basket in a cabinet, but it was full of black and white threads. It was suitable for her to sew clothes.

She sewed the clothes and combed her hair, but she couldn't get over the anger in her heart.

Sitting inside picking hazel mushrooms, thinking of a solution.

Until all were picked out, he left the courtyard with the garbage and medicine hoe.

She just ran so fast that she didn't know where she was running. She climbed up a tree and took a closer look before heading down the mountain.

This time she not only looked for mushrooms, but also began to pay attention to the herbs on the ground and whether the Cai brothers were nearby.

As I was walking, I saw a layer of orange on a big tree. It was particularly beautiful in the green forest.

Qi Feifei's mood suddenly cleared up and he ran straight there.

The layers of cockscomb mushrooms are fresh and beautiful.

He went back into the courtyard to change the sickle.

Cut it down little by little, and a big lump weighs about ten pounds.

After harvesting all the mushrooms from this tree, there are hundreds of kilograms of cocklecomb mushrooms.

Put them all into the courtyard.

It’s still early, so I continue searching.

I saw a sika deer in the woods. It was strong and beautiful, with chestnut-red fur with white spots. Its eyes were clear and lively, and its ears were erect and moving around. It had a cub with it, and it ran away quickly when it heard any noise.

Obviously, this is a deep mountain area, so there are more wild animals.

Occasionally you can see hares and pheasants, but they run very fast and you can usually only hear their sounds or see their shadows.

When she was almost at the foot of the mountain, she began to slowly look in the direction of home. She was lucky enough to find two ginseng plants, both of which were more than ten years old.

She didn't have a red cloth strip, so she went to the back house in the courtyard and found a piece of cloth and two strips of cloth.

Tie a piece of cloth to a ginseng stem and place the cloth under the ginseng to collect the ginseng seeds. Pick the ginseng seeds first.

Then carefully clear the surrounding weeds.

Take another hardwood stick and use a knife to smooth the end.

Use this small wooden stick and your hands to dig the soil little by little, slowly clearing away the soil around the ginseng, and the ginseng will appear.

She spent two hours tinkering with one ginseng. Fortunately, it was intact.

She put the ginseng back in the courtyard and dug up another one.

I was extremely excited, as these two ginsengs should be worth a lot of money.

She had never dug ginseng at this time in her previous life. She didn't dare to go into the mountains at that time, so she didn't know the price of ginseng at this time. It should be expensive, right?

I don't know whether individuals are allowed to sell it. Is it considered state property?

By the time they had both been dug, the sun had already set.

After putting everything in the courtyard, she hurried back. It was already dark before she reached the village. There was still a long way to go, so she had to get a piece of dry pine wood, find a flint in the kitchen of the courtyard, and fiddle with the wood, holding a wooden torch all the way.

When they got closer to the village, she put out the torch, put the cockscomb mushrooms in a basket, put three red Ganoderma lucidum in the basket, and walked back with Doubao.

As expected, I saw Baisha outside the village, holding a wash basin with clothes in it. The clothes were dry.

Qi Feifei gave her the Ganoderma lucidum directly.

Baisha wrapped the Ganoderma lucidum one by one in a soft vest and then wrapped them outside with a shirt.

The two of them walked back together.

Baisha looked worried: "Why are you so late today? I'm so anxious!"

Qi Feifei: "Well, I got a little lost today. It took me a while to find the way." She didn't want to talk about the Cai brothers. If she did, everyone would definitely persuade her not to go up the mountain, but there was no way she wouldn't go into the mountain.

Baisha: "Why don't you just not go up the mountain. It's too dangerous."

Qi Feifei smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be more careful next time. I'm not afraid."

Seeing that she insisted, I stopped persuading her.

The two returned to the collective household, and Zhu Li had been waiting for her outside the yard. She was relieved to see her back.

"I told you to come back earlier, but why are you getting later and later? It makes me so anxious." He took the backpack.

Qi Feifei: "It's okay. I just got lost for a while today and wandered around for a while. I won't do it again next time."

While they were talking, Baisha quietly returned to the house.

Baisha put Lingzhi's clothes into a net bag and hung it on the wall next to her bunk by the window. No one paid attention to her.
