My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 83 Mountain Interest

   After this incident, Chen Erzhu was completely settled down.

  Chen Ling was at home for two days. Originally, it was time to go to the county town to sell vegetables after more than half a month.

   But once this person's life is guaranteed, there is no motivation to make progress.

   When I thought that every time I sold vegetables, I would have a small 2,000 yuan, enough to eat for half a year, so I felt less anxious.

   So Chen Ling became more and more lazy.

   Even Wang Susu urged him to sell the dried herbs, but he only said to wait a few more days and wait for Zhao Dahai's friend to come and watch the eel before going.

  Wang Susu heard him say this, and thought it was quite reasonable. After all, if someone could offer a higher price, she would still be willing to sell this hot thing, otherwise it would be easy to attract thieves to keep it at home.

   However, after waiting for two or three days, no one came.

  Chen Ling was bored at home, so he simply brought two dogs and a bamboo basket on his back, ready to go into the mountains to collect herbs.

When    was out of the village, he encountered Liu Nier and a group of little dolls playing wildly on the field trails. Hearing that Chen Ling wanted to go into the mountains, they were all interested and shouted to go with him.

   It is almost the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the wheat has already set ears.

  Many villagers either watered the wheat fields or sprayed medicine with medicine buckets on their backs.

   Liu Nier also came with the elders in the family.

   When these elders saw the little baby surrounded Chen Ling, they all smiled and asked him to take it with him, so as to save the gang of skin monkeys making trouble in the fields.

   Chen Ling had nothing to say now, so he had to let them follow.

   But this time, I didn't enter the mountain from the edge of my own field. Because it was too far, I took a shortcut and went up the mountain from the west.

   The sun was just right today, and the breeze was blowing gently. Chen Ling walked with a group of little dolls on the gentle mountain road, feeling the fragrance of birds and flowers, and his slightly impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

The mountain road here is not wide, sometimes two people can walk side by side, sometimes only one person can pass, one or two four-legged snakes jump out from time to time, and there are occasional larks, partridges or other unknown wild animals in the bushes. Birds soared into the sky.

  This season, the mountains are quite lively, all kinds of trees are extremely lush, thick wild vines cover the sky, and wild animals and wild fruits are also increasing.

   Liu Ni'er and a few dolls followed behind Chen Ling, and when they were restless, they either went to pick mulberries or go to the grandmother of the sheep, and they ate the purple, purple and green ones with their tongues one by one.

   He also fed the two dogs, Heiwa and Xiaojin, all over their faces.

There are a lot of wild fruits in the mountains, and there are a lot of them that can be eaten. Wild chestnuts, wild grapes, hemp pears, wild mulberries, goat grandma, wild cherries, etc. are very common, but at this time, only mulberries and goat grandma are very ripe. A few wild fruits.

  Grandma Sheep is the dialect name.

   In fact, it should be called goat milk fruit, scientific name is "Hu Lizi".

  This fruit is red and purple, sweet and sour, and has a lot of juice. It can be made into juice, canned, candied fruit, and can also promote blood circulation and reduce swelling.

  This thing is very common in Wuyun Mountain, and the dolls love it very much, and they come to this thing as soon as they enter the mountain.

  There are many delicious wild fruits in the mountains, but there are many more inedible and poisonous.

  In addition to wild fruits, mushrooms in the mountains cannot be touched casually.

  For example, the pile of white and gray mushrooms in front of Chen Ling is a common poisonous mushroom.

  Eating it will not poison people, but it will induce hallucinations.

   I heard that it can dance, sing, laugh and produce auditory hallucinations, but its name is particularly good, called 'dog urine moss'.

The name    made people reject it when he heard it, and naturally he didn’t dare to eat it.

  This mushroom is not only found in the mountains, but also common in the villages. It can be seen beside the thatched huts and on the dry dung heaps.

  The old people in the village said that this thing grew out of the dog's urine, so even the little baby knew that this thing could not be eaten, and usually kicked it with disgust when he saw it, thinking that it grew out of the dog's urine and was dirty.

   But at the moment, these skin monkeys are busy walking through the mountains and forests, and their attention is not in this area at all, but is attracted by various birds and beasts in the mountains and forests.

No, as soon as I walked to a small stream, I heard Liu Ni'er in front scream, "pheasant!", and then a group of little babies and two dogs rushed out together. Chen Ling was afraid that they would encounter danger, so he also Hastily followed behind.

   "Uncle Fugui, come and see, what a beautiful pheasant!"

   Liu Nier pointed to a big tree not far across the stream for Chen Ling to see.

  Chen Ling looked over and saw a 'pheasant' with gorgeous feathers.

   It is said to be a pheasant, but it is so small in size and has a long tail behind it.

  It also has a wisp of golden slender feathers on its head, forming a very beautiful crest, which looks very strange.

   In addition, the wings and body have more than three colors of feathers, the neck is yellow and black stripes, the back is dark green, the abdomen is red, and the wings are brown and dark yellow.

  This guy, from a distance, looks like a big colorful parrot.

   "This is not a pheasant, I have seen a pheasant, it doesn't look like this, this is a woodpecker!"

   "Uncle Fugui, am I right?"

   Komori raised his head and asked.

   Since this kid was known by his parents to be called Uncle Chen Ling Fugui, he was taught a lesson and changed his words honestly.

   "It's not really a pheasant, but it's not a woodpecker either."

   "This thing is called golden pheasant, also known as golden pheasant, or colorful pheasant."

  Chen Ling took another look at their golden pheasants, who were hiding on the branches, and explained.

  The first time he saw this thing, he didn't recognize it, and after looking carefully for a while, he remembered what it was.

   Speaking of this golden pheasant, his uncle caught one in a previous life, and he didn’t know what it was, so he took it to the market as a pheasant and sold it, and he almost went to jail.

   So he was quite impressed.

   "Look, Uncle Fugui, there are eggs there."

   As soon as Chen Ling finished explaining, someone shouted again, and the little dolls ran over in a swarm.

I walked over and saw that there were nearly 20 eggs in the dirt pit of the bushes under the tree. The green eggshell was a little light gray, and it was larger than the wild egg. The dirt pit was a little deep, and there were many around Nutmeg of goat milk fruit.

   This is obviously the old nest of the golden pheasant, but this one is brightly colored, it is a rooster, and the hen has never been seen.

  When the rooster saw the human approaching its nest, it made an impatient call from the tree.

   But the little dolls are all focused on the egg, so they can't care about it.

   "Uncle Fugui, there are a lot of eggs, let's bake them."

   Komori swallowed and reached for it.

  Chen Ling hurriedly stopped: "This egg is not delicious, Liu Nierta sent some to my house before, it was very fishy."

   "I'll grill the fish for you later. When the river fish is fat, isn't it better than eggs?"

   Hearing the grilled fish, the eyes of several dolls lit up, and they immediately prepared to take off their shoes to catch fish.

​​​​​​

   Such as birds, bird eggs, or cauliflower snakes, etc., can't escape their poisonous hands.

   But the egg of the golden pheasant can't let them waste it, so Chen Ling will stop it.

  Fortunately, they are young and their attention is easily diverted, so it is not time to jump into the stream to fish.

   The creek between the mountains and forests is very clear, and there are many small fish and shrimps, the most common ones are wheat ear fish and mountain catfish.

   Especially mountain catfish, they often hide under stones, and they are sure to catch them.

  The dolls in the mountains are clear about these doors, and they catch a lot of them in no time.

  Although they are not too big, they look as long as a stick, but there is a lot of meat, and they are also very delicious after roasting.

   Even Chen Ling, who was raised by Dongtian's mouth, felt that there was no flavor, let alone Liu Ni'er.

   After eating the fish, the little dolls finally had enough of their addiction, and they continued to move forward with jumping behind Chen Ling.

  The two dogs, Heiwa and Xiaojin, stomped on the stream water, playing while walking. From time to time, they would **** their heads into the water and bring up two small fish.

   Not long after walking like this, the two dogs suddenly barked loudly. They didn't know what was going on, and rushed up against the stream.
