green grass on the stream

The two made up their minds to take a good rest, but it was actually a so-called plan made by Qi Yanfan unilaterally.

Spring sleepiness, autumn lack, summer doze, winter and March when I can't sleep.

After so many days of waking up early, being able to sleep when I'm sleepy is such a bliss spike.

It was rare to sleep late at home, Qi Yanfan lay under the covers, and secretly stretched his feet to where Ji Tingyu was lying.Ji Tingyu had just woken up, and there was still residual warmth from his body in the bed.The comfortable touch of the cotton cloth made Qi Yanfan's body itch, his toes curled up, and he wished he could roll around in the quilt a few times.

After breakfast, Qi Yanfan had a whim, how about grabbing the tail of this spring and going out for a walk, seeing places that he hadn't seen before, didn't the ancients also pay attention to spring outings?

So he consulted with Ji Tingyu.

Ji Tingyu said: "I'm afraid there are no scenic spots nearby. If it is a market town, it would be the Dahe Town we went to last time."

"It's too far to go to Dahe Town, we need to rest mainly." Qi Yanfan didn't want to take any kind of marching tour, he said, "We have always gone east to Dahe Town and north to Taohua Village, then Shall we go south this time?"

"That's okay," Ji Tingyu said, "to the south is also a mountain with fruit trees. It should be less lush and safer."

"Not bad, maybe we can even enjoy peach blossoms."

Ji Tingyu laughed and said, "The peach blossoms in Taohua Village have already withered."

"April is the end of the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom."

As soon as he said it, Qi Yanfan prepared some food, and took a bamboo joint to fill it with water - Ji Tingyu was talented in carpentry, so he put a stopper on the bamboo pot.In addition, he still brought the small bamboo basket.In case there is any good harvest.

Proceeding along the southern slope, the first thing you pass is a concave valley.The water flow on the mountain gathers here and merges into a shallow river bank several meters wide.The water is very clear, and you can see ripples and splashes in the flowing place, but in the calm place, even if the fallen leaves float on the water, they seem to be suspended in the air without any support.

He had never seen such a clean stream in the steel forest in his previous life. Qi Yanfan was as excited as a city person going to the countryside. Is there a small crab hidden, and I have fully experienced the fun of playing in the water.

Ji Tingyu said: "The water is too clean and there will be no fish or shrimp."

Qi Yanfan was ashamed, he knew the truth, but he couldn't help but look through it whenever he encountered this actual situation.

"The speed of this small river is already very gentle. If you want to catch fish and shrimp, you might as well go downstream." Ji Tingyu couldn't see it, and suggested.

"it is good."

The two of them walked along this small river for a while. The water surface did not widen, but the water depth increased a bit. If it had only reached the feet just now, it probably reached the calf now.There are patches of green duckweed floating on the surface of the water, and there are oily aquatic plants swaggering at the bottom of the water.

Qi Yanfan squatted down and watched for a while, there were some small fish swimming back and forth in groups in the water, probably just hatched fry.

"You can come fishing later."

"Then let's wait for the weather to warm up before coming back. The water is still quite cold now." Qi Yanfan stuck out his tongue and shook the water droplets from his hands, "And there are a lot of dried shrimps in the water."

The two saw that the water was empty and quiet, and there were many rocks protruding from the bank, which could be used as a resting place.Qi Yanfan cleaned his hands, took out a few buns from his bag and handed them to Ji Tingyu.

This time, the buns are stuffed with tofu. The tofu is bought in a large piece from Li Xiaogai’s house, and the bean sprouts and diced bacon are cut into it. It is delicious after it is cooled.A mouthful of tofu buns, very tender, the tofu can melt in the mouth with a sip, and another mouthful of cold boiled water in a bamboo pot, the slight heat from walking just now is all soothed.

While eating, looking at the scenery in front of him, Qi Yanfan couldn't help sighing: "This place is actually quite beautiful."

"Ah."

The breeze is blowing, and the time is silent.

Ji Tingyu looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.Qi Yanfan guessed, maybe he remembered the daffodils by the pond in the garden of his old home, maybe he saw them in the mansions of rich families when he was traveling, and they bloomed in clusters beside the still water, so beautiful.

This free time was hard-won, Ji Tingyu was just in a daze, and Qi Yanfan just looked at Ji Tingyu in a daze.

He vaguely remembered the beautiful sentence he learned in high school, which seemed to be written by Bian Zhilin called "Broken Chapter".In the misty moonlight tonight, will the emotional investment be rewarded and let this person enter his dream...

After resting enough, the two of them crossed the valley and set off towards the south mountain.

Qi Yanfan often sees this mountain in the south every day when he opens his house, and the trees on the mountain are similar.But bending down to distinguish carefully, there are still many artificial traces, such as some damaged fences, some old wooden piles, and broken walls.

Qi Yanfan picked up a stick and tapped it left and right, and he really found a few low peach trees. The leaves of the peach trees were easy to recognize and slender.These trees are only as tall as a human's calf, and they are estimated to be less than a year old. They probably fell here from the seeds picked up by some flying bird.

Qi Yanfan dug up these peach trees with mud on their roots, and put them into bamboo baskets together.

Now that he is in a better mood, he talks a lot: "It is said that peach trees are also divided into male and female. It is better not to be male when you move back like this."

"Will the male peach tree bloom?" Ji Tingyu asked.

"Uh, it should be open..."

"Then it's okay, we can all enjoy peach blossoms."

"Maybe not..." Qi Yanfan added silently. He thought of what he had learned in his previous science class. Does flowering mean fruiting? Or is there a distinction between male and female flowers... Sigh, I'm telling you not to study scientific and cultural knowledge well. Even the ancients couldn't teach it, and there was a sense of frustration.

Seeing Qi Yanfan's sudden wilting appearance, Ji Tingyu probably guessed the reason, so he asked him again: "Look what that plant is, I smell a fragrance."

Qi Yanfan looked in his direction, and saw a plant with dark green leaves. The leaves were serrated, smooth as if covered with a layer of wax, and there were two or three small white flowers in the middle. It was inconspicuous, but the fragrance was very full-bodied.

"This is an orange tree!" Qi Yanfan became elated again, "And it has grown quite big. Maybe it will bear oranges this year."

"That's great, do you want to dig it back?"

"I want it!"

Ji Tingyu helped him dig out the orange tree again.

The two walked around the neighborhood a few more times, and Qi Yanfan saw some fluffy and silver-white wild vegetables again, and he held them up to introduce to Ji Tingyu like a treasure: "This, this is called..." He frowned as if he was worried about something. , "I don't know what it's called. When we were young, we called it Ni Nitou in our dialect. It can be eaten as a flatbread. It's soft and sticky to the teeth. Oh, it's delicious."

Ji Tingyu stared at the strange clump of weeds for a while, feeling a little bit of strangeness in his heart, and nodded slightly, as if he understood.

Then Qi Yanfan called Ji Tingyu to come over to look at it, and in front of him was a pile of sparse bricks, complete and broken.

"There's a pile of bricks here," Qi Yanfan glanced at Ji Tingyu, "Does it belong to the landlord's house?"

"Looking at the traces of vegetation here, it should be quite old, maybe it was planned to be used to build something at that time."

"Will a house like ours be built on this mountain?" Qi Yanfan asked.

Ji Tingyu said: "It's also possible, but the bricks are indeed a little less."

"Perhaps some of them were picked up by the villagers." Qi Yanfan speculated.

There was no other scenery on the top of the mountain, so the two decided to go home after staying for a while.

The branches and leaves of the orange tree are separated, Ji Tingyu is holding it with his hands, while Qi Yanfan is carrying a few peach saplings on his back.He looked at his bamboo basket, it seemed that it was always full when he went out, when was it so empty.He thought for a while, and then went to find a few more complete bricks on his back.

Ji Tingyu was quite surprised: "What are you doing carrying bricks?"

"I want to build a bathroom for my family," Qi Yanfan grinned, "Use bricks to cushion the floor."

Hearing this, Ji Tingyu became interested, so he also went to find a few dollars to hold.When Qi Yanfan saw it, he immediately went to stop him: "Why did you move it, how tired you are..."

"I want to hear from you how you plan to fix the bathroom?" Ji Tingyu said directly.

"Well... let's fix it on the side of the bedroom, I think..." Qi Yanfan was taken away from the topic as usual.

"Walking and talking..."
