See Nanshan leisurely

Chapter 39 Carefree

When Chen Youran was eating yams, Chen Xiaomi woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he burst into tears, smashed his hands out of the blanket and clenched them into fists, his face turned red from holding back, and he cried hoarsely.Lan Shan hurriedly picked her up to coax her, and then poured milk powder with hot water in a thermos, and then stuffed the bottle to her, and finally calmed her down.

But after taking two sips of milk, she babbled again, and looked eagerly at the fragrant yams in Chen Youran's hand.

Such a big child has already started to eat some complementary food, so Chen Youran did not refuse, crushed a little potato and fed it to her, and then decisively ate the rest in two bites.

Chen Xiaomi stared at her blankly, then subconsciously picked up the bottle again.

Chen Yanran pointed at her and laughed loudly, "Are you dumbfounded?"

After eating, Doraemon's treasure bag is also empty.Chen Yanran still didn't quite believe it, so she flipped through it with her hands and found a box of Green Arrow chewing gum.

After washing the dishes by the spring, Lan Shan took everything back, and a piece of chewing gum was stuffed into her mouth by Chen Youran.

"You've worked hard."

Lan Shan smiled at Chen Youran. In fact, she didn't think it was hard work, and all the efforts that could be responded to were not hard work.

This place is leeward and has a fire, so it doesn't feel cold.The four of them lay side by side on the grass, feeling infinitely leisurely. Time seems to be elongated at this moment. Although it is early spring and there is not much scenery, it still makes people exude crispness from the bones. Lazy.

Chen Yanran probably had itchy hands. As she talked, she began to pull the grass next to her if she disagreed with her. She pulled out the leaves first, and then the roots. After a while, a small clean place was cleared out. The corner of Shan's mouth twitched.

Although this is on the mountain, these are all weeds, and no one is sorry, but digging out a piece of land looks really ugly!

"Don't bother with that." She thought for a while, and waved to Chen Yanran, "Come here and take you to play weeding."

"What's so fun about pulling weeds?" Chen Yanran said so, but walked up to Lan Shan's body very honestly, making Chen Youran laugh for a while.

How do you say that?One thing down one thing.Sure enough, it is the most reasonable thing in the world. Even she may not be able to control how lawless Chen Yanran is, but she is always very obedient in front of Lan Shan, telling her to go east and never go west. Sometimes even her elder sister Some are envious and jealous.

But occasionally, Chen Youran would not quite understand, who is the object of his envy, jealousy and hatred?Do you envy Lan Shan for taming Chen Yanran, or do you envy Chen Yanran for getting Lan Shan's meticulous care.

This kind of question cannot be pondered deeply.She turned over, climbed up, went to Lan Shan and squatted down.This location is not far from where they lay down before, and there is a very lush grass growing, but in this season, it has completely withered and decayed, looking lifeless.

Lan Shan quickly pulled out the weeds above, exposing the roots growing in the ground.These roots and branches grow very luxuriantly underground, and many of them seem to have just grown out this winter, looking very fresh and tender.

Lan Shan pulled out one, tore off the wrapping skin, washed it in the stream, and gave it to the two of them, "Taste it."

"How do you taste this?" Chen Yanran asked suspiciously, grabbing the grass roots.

Lan Shan directly stuffed a grass root into her mouth, chewed it, and said, "That's it, sweet."

Chen Yanran was skeptical, but Chen Youran stuffed the grass root into her mouth without hesitation.She wouldn't doubt Lan Shan's recommendation, after all, the taste of anything she said was good, of course, most of the things that Lan Shan didn't recommend tasted good.Only this kind of strange things, she will introduce them specially.

Besides, she is also someone who has read The Book of Songs. "From animal husbandry to catkin, beautiful and different. The beauty of bandits is the beauty of beauties." According to the textual research of experts, "Weed" refers to thatch roots, which are used by ancient people to express love. Not bad.

Sure enough, you can taste the sweet juice after chewing the grass root. It is pure natural and pollution-free, and the taste is quite special.Chen Youran chewed it twice, and asked Lan Shan as if confirming, "Do you want to swallow this thing?"

"No, just spit out the dregs after chewing the juice."

Seeing that Chen Youran had already tested the poison with her body, Chen Yanran felt relieved, stuffed the grass root into her mouth, and was immediately conquered by it, and consciously began to dig out the rest.

Chen Youran didn't argue with her, bit the grass root in her mouth and backed away a little, and asked Lan Shan in a low voice, "Is this the legendary white thatch root, the so-called 'catkin'?" She took the remaining half of the grass root out of her mouth. Come out, shook his head, "I can't see 'Xunmeiqiyi' at all!"

"I don't know if it is," Lan Shan said, "but I tend not to. After all, no matter how hard the life of the ancient people was, it was unlikely that they would dig out grass roots and give them as gifts. There is one thing that is more similar."

"What?" Chen Youran asked.

Lan Shan turned her head and looked around, and took her a few steps towards the spring, and saw a clump of thatch that had sprouted.She directly reached out and pulled out the green thatch core that had just been drilled out of the ground, and peeled it off to show Chen Youran. Inside was a fluffy white core, which looked very soft.

Lan Shan smiled and said, "Does this thing look more high-grade than grass roots? There is also a saying in the book that hands are like catkins. The young shoots of thatch should be more suitable? They are white, soft and thin."

Chen Youran nodded.

She then said, "And this thing, in summer and autumn, when the thatch is fully mature, it will bloom and bloom, and it will be more beautiful at that time." He pointed to the stumped branches in the withered thatch next to him. , "That's it, but when it blooms, it's fluffy, and it's ten times more beautiful than it is now.Pick a large handful and put it in your hand, the effect must be quite good, and it is not surprising that it was used by the ancients as a token of love. "

"So that's how it is." Chen Youran thought thoughtfully.

When Lan Shan saw her, she couldn't regain her composure, she looked stupid, she couldn't help stuffing the fluffy thatch core into her mouth.Chen Youran subconsciously chewed, and when she realized that she was going to spit it out, she realized that this thing was actually sweet.The taste is completely different from thatch root, but it is another flavor.

So she chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it.

That bit of sweetness in the mouth left a long aftertaste of sweetness for this short trip.

……

Life in the mountain village is very interesting, Chen Youran thought so before, but after this time, the impression became more profound and clear.The world that Lan Shan lived in before was something she didn't know and had never been in contact with, but everything was so interesting that Chen Youran was fascinated, and she also had endless expectations for going up the mountain to play.

But actually relying on Chen Yanran's monthly exam results to get the opportunity to play in the mountains, it is really sad.

However, Lan Shan has now taken over Chen Yanran's study, and she is not allowed to ask Chen Yanran to study hard at all.Chen Youran was full of emotions and had nowhere to vent.

Probably because she was bored, she even started to deal with the "trouble-seeking duo" who came to Chen's house every day to report, occasionally chatting with them when she was interested, and felt that these two people didn't seem to be that annoying .

How do you say that?Heart of beauty in everyone.At the age of teens, it is normal to know that Mu Shaoai is so beautiful that many people would like Lan Shan.

But for some reason, thinking of this, my heart is still sour.

However, Chen Youran was willing to spend time and energy to deal with them, but she might not have the intention of preventing disaster for Lan Shan. If they were perfunctory, Lan Shan would not need to worry about it and could focus on her studies.

Lan Shan quickly realized his panicked state of mind, and decided to find something for her to divert her attention.

It was the weekend again, and Lan Shan asked Chen Youran to drive her up the mountain.She brought a small machete, and went straight to the target without looking around after entering the mountain.

There are mostly deciduous trees in the forest. This season looks bare, only two kinds of trees are showing vitality.One kind has small yellow flowers in raceme, all over the branches, which is a yellow cloud from a distance, very eye-catching; the other has shiny bark, and white radiates from the bark roots. The fluffy new buds also look like flowers, very beautiful, but not so eye-catching.

Lan Shan's goal was the latter. Holding a knife, she chopped off a large bundle of branches, tied them with vines, and asked Chen Youran to move them to the car with her and take them home.

After returning home, Lan Shan gave Chen Youran a new task, which was to peel off the bark of these branches without damaging the flower buds on the bark.Although she gave a demonstration, and this kind of bark is very easy to peel off, Chen Youran's scalp still felt numb, "What are you doing with this?"

"I'll tell you when I'm done." Lan Shan kept it mysterious.

What can Chen Youran do?Of course, it can only be done.

It took almost a day for her to peel off all the branches.Because it was the first time to work like this, I only felt that the fingernails of the two thumbs would be peeled off in an instant, and the pain was severe.As for other discomforts in the body, it is not that important.

"It's all done. Tell me, what are you going to do?" After lunch at noon the next day, Chen Youran dragged Lan Shan to the yard and let her see her results.

"Not bad." Lan Shan boasted a few words, then moved the stool out and put it down, then picked up the branches that had lost their stems, and weaved them together.Chen Youran squatted by the side, looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized, "Are you going to weave a grass skirt?"

"En." Lan Shan nodded.

"It doesn't look too difficult," Chen Youran said, "I can do it too."

"It's really not difficult, it just needs patience." Lan Shan handed her the half-woven grass skirt in her hand, "So confident, I'll leave the next task to you, okay?"

It's a woman who can't say no!

Chen Youran herself was also interested in this, so she reached out to take it excitedly, but after making it up for a while, she clearly noticed that the part she made up was quite different from that made by Lan Shan, which could be seen at a glance.

Sometimes what you see with your eyes doesn't mean you can copy it with your hands.It looks simple, but it is difficult to know how difficult it is when you really get started.Chen Youran herself really has no talent in handicrafts, and there is a world of difference between her and Lan Shan. It's just a dream to catch up with her in a while.

Disappointed, she planned to tear down the part she was knitting, but was stopped by Lan Shan, "Isn't this pretty good? Go ahead and finish knitting."

"Compared to yours, what I made up looks like a fake." Chen Youran sighed.

"Practice slowly." Lan Shan comforted her, "I didn't know how to do it from the beginning."

"Is this a custom of your Miao family?" Encouraged by Lan Shan, Chen Youran could only encourage to continue, asking while making up.

Lan Shan shook her head, "I figured it out myself."

Since she was seven or eight years old, she has almost no private time of her own.

The compound class in the village doesn’t start until noon. In the morning, she has to take the family’s cattle out and tie them up, and carry a small basket on her back to hunt pigweed on the mountain. After returning, she helps Hou Acai cook.She is small and has no strength, so she does the work of adding firewood and delivering things.After school in the afternoon, I'm going to sign the cattle back, and then continue to help.Every weekend, I have to go to the well with Hou Acai to wash the clothes of the whole family.

In fact, living in such an environment, girls from other families are not much better, so Lan Shan never feels hard work, but just wants her own space and time.At that time, she was not sleeping in the small attic upstairs, but a family of four squeezed into one bed, so she did not have her own room to be alone.Compared to staying at home, Lan Shan prefers to go up the mountain.

Every time she went up the mountain, she would delay going home until the last moment, just to be more comfortable.

Lan Shan spent all the time she saved on her own whimsical ideas, and this branch skirt is one of her achievements.It's just that at that time, no matter how beautiful the things she made were, they were destined to have no audience.

Now, being able to share these with Chen Youran, it seems that the loneliness that could not be put down in childhood suddenly has a home.

So when she mentioned the past, her tone and expression were soft, as if she had endless nostalgia.Seeing her showing such an expression, Chen Youran's heart became sore and soft.Lan Shan ten years ago was not much different from what she had imagined.Since she was so young, she has learned too much and endured too much, which is why she has grown into what she is today.

Gentle, sensible, stable, generous, omnipotent.

But all of these are instincts that she has explored little by little over a long period of time.

Indescribable emotions surged in Chen Youran's heart. She really wanted to say something or do something, but she seemed to be imprisoned in her position by an invisible force, and she didn't even change the movements of her hands. She heard My own voice said steadily, "Ashu, you are so amazing!"

"So!" Lan Shan laughed, and raised her hand to pat her on the shoulder, "It's the first time for me to recruit disciples, as the chief disciple, you have to study hard in this sect, you can't be lazy, you know?"

"I would like to obey the master's order." Chen Youran folded his hands perfunctorily, and shook them back and forth, "Master, go to school quickly, and don't disturb my practice of magic skills."

I don't know if it was Lan Shan's words that infused her with wonderful energy. If Chen Youran had the help of a god, she would soon achieve great success.

That night, when Lan Shan and Chen Yanran came back for dinner, the things in the yard had already been put away.Lan Shan looked around, but didn't see it. She thought it was broken by Chen Youran, and then directly destroyed the corpse.But after dinner, she was carried upstairs by Chen Youran and returned to the bedroom.

"Dangdangdangdang~" Chen Youran took down the grass skirt hanging there from the back of the door, stretched out his arms from back to front, and tied it around Lan Shan's waist, "Master, check, the disciple's How is the craft?"

"You have achieved a great achievement, you can already become a teacher." Lan Shan looked down, said this sentence with a serious expression, and finally couldn't hold back her smile.

She caressed the grass skirt on her waist, "It's a pity that it will be broken once it is put out, and it will be fresh for a day or two." It would be great if it can be preserved, but unfortunately... the good things in the world are not only rare, but also fragile.

However, perhaps it is precisely because it is so precious and so short-lived that people miss it?

"It doesn't matter, throw it away if it breaks, and I will make a new one for you in the future." Chen Youran still wrapped her arms around Lan Shan's waist, she lowered her head and rested her forehead on Lan Shan's back, "I will make you a new one every year." ,OK?"
