Traveling through mountains and rivers

After breakfast, the Tao family welcomed a guest they didn't expect. It was none other than Ning Dong who was familiar with Ning Ze.

The purpose of Ning's current visit is also very simple. He is here to confirm the second season of rice in Xia Zhizhong. He is not very familiar with the Tao family. Even Tao Qing doesn't have much contact with him because he is a brother. Ze is the one he is most familiar with, and Ning Dong came here to find Ning Ze.

Ning Ze didn't say anything to him, and took him to the Tao family's field for a walk. They had already raised the seedlings. There were two whole fields, and they needed to plant ten mu of seedlings. While digging all the way to the ditches in the field, Ning Ze said, "Dongzi, there is no need for us to deceive people. We did it ourselves first and then told you. After the rice is harvested, the field is also empty, just for transplanting rice. But if it really works, can't your child who is about to be born eat better? Everything needs to be tried first. If no one is willing to do it because of fear of failure, then we I should have starved to death a long time ago, and I wouldn’t wait until today to know how to grow rice.”

After hearing Ning Ze's words, Ning Dong came to his senses, and he said, "Yao Ze, it seems that you are still thinking clearly, I understand, I will talk to my father when I go back, and I will trouble you Tell me what to do."

Ning Ze smiled and said, "It's not difficult, just do the same as us, and then borrow oxen to plow the field, and when the seedlings in the field are almost grown, we can transplant them."

After listening to Ning Ze's words, Ning Dong went to the field to take another look, and went back without seeing anything special.

Ning Ze didn't think it was troublesome for Ning Dong to come and ask him. Being able to ask him meant that he really had this intention, and he didn't care if he didn't come.

After Ning Dong left, Ning Ze also went home. Now they actually have nothing to do. Ning Ze thought that they could go up the mountain and go to the town tomorrow. They can’t go empty-handed. Maybe they can still be found, pick some and bring them to Dr. Mo in the town, although they are not worth much, but it is more or less their wish.

After Ning Ze returned home, he told Tao Qing what he thought, and Tao Qing said, "I'll go with you, I'm more familiar with the mountains than you, let's see if we can catch hares and pheasants and bring them back for improvement at home. Food, it’s been a long time since we’ve really eaten meat at home.”

Ning Ze thought so too, except for the snails and small shrimps, the only ones who really ate meat were their first meal at Tao's house. There was so little meat that Ning Ze didn't dare to use his chopsticks.

Having said that, it aroused his own gluttony, Ning Ze said, "If that's the case, then let's go up the mountain with two knives. If we really can't find anything, we can do it too." Come back from chopping firewood."

Tao Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll get it right away."

Tao Qing took two scimitars and two baskets. He and Ning Ze shared half, greeted the rest of the family, and went up the mountain.

There must be nothing outside, the two of them had to walk in the middle, and when they got inside, they saw traces of wild rabbits, but they ran too fast and they couldn't catch them.

A little further inside, there were more pheasants and wild rabbits, and they would definitely not be able to catch up with them. Without a bow and arrow, Ning Ze simply picked up the stones on the ground and prepared to hit them with them.

It's been a long time since I've done this kind of thing. After trying a few times, Ning Ze finally hit a rabbit. Tao Qing quickly picked it up and put it in the basket. They grew up in this kind of place. Yes, I have no fear of these things.

The two of them were not afraid, they kept wandering around here, going back and forth, but Ning Ze succeeded several times, three pheasants, two rabbits, plus the first one, now it is a pheasant and a rabbit There are three of them, but except for one rabbit, all the others have been killed, and they cannot be sold for much money.

During the period, they picked up a nest of eggs, and there were six eggs in it. They only took five and left one, and wanted to wait until the next time to see if there were any pheasants to continue laying.

The wild things were harvested, but they really didn't see the peach tree, and the peaches at home were eaten up by a group of children. Both of them wanted to find peaches in their hearts, so they had to continue walking inside.

After arriving in the mountain, the trees are lush, covering the sun above the head, and even the sense of direction is not so good, it is purely walking around.

After walking for a long time, both of them felt a little tired, and finally they saw a small peach tree, and there were two squirrels eating peaches on the tree.

Ningze had never eaten squirrel meat, and he didn't know what it tasted like, so he didn't do anything, but just drove away. The peaches on the tree had been eaten to pieces. You can only eat it after cutting it, but Ning Ze was afraid that there would be some problems with eating it, so he didn't want it, and he and Tao Qing continued to make money.

Going forward, along the way, I saw many rotten peaches, all of which were eaten by squirrels, and there were many peach pits. Ning Ze had an intuition that there was a peach tree nearby, otherwise there would never be so many rotten peaches on the road. Peaches and peach pits.

Excitedly, Ning Ze pulled Tao Qing to follow the traces of rotten peaches on the road. When he reached the mouth of a valley, there was a cliff in front of him. The cliff was not high. Looking down, the scene below was really shocking.

There is really a peach forest below, a large and long one, if you don't look closely, you really can't see where the end is.

These peaches are different from the ones they found in the forest. Those are hairy peaches. These peaches are more than twice the size of the ones in the forest. These are juicy peaches.

This is a full piece of the past, I don't know how much I can pick.

This place is inaccessible, and the people in the village are probably afraid of danger, so no one has ever been there.

There used to be people killed on the mountain in Xianning Village. There used to be wolves and wild boars on this mountain. It is said that there were other ferocious animals in the past. Therefore, if it weren’t for the people in Xianning Village, they would not be able to survive. Basically, they would not go to the mountains. I went hunting inside.

People who don't hunt naturally don't go deep. Even the hunters in the village who rely on hunting for a living have their own places and don't wander around casually for fear of something happening.

So this piece of peach grove was so crooked that the two of them took advantage of it and met.

Ning Ze saw that the cliff below was not high, and there were rocks and trees that could be grasped on the cliff. Ning Ze planned to go down and have a look. If there was no danger, they would come and find a way to pick these peaches back and sell them for money. The price of a catty can buy a few taels of silver, not to mention that such a big peach is not worth the price.

Ning Ze found a wild tree vine, tied the basket around his waist, and fastened the knife around his waist, and said to Tao Qing, "Ah Qing, wait for me here, I'll go down and have a look, If there is no danger, I will tell you to go down. If there is danger, you should hurry up the tree. As long as there are no leopards here, it is safe to climb the tree. Like wild boars, as long as you don’t provoke them, wild boars will not hurt people casually .”

Tao Qing wanted to go down with him, but Ning Ze's tone was unquestionable, so Tao Qing could only obediently wait up there.

"Then Aze, be careful yourself. If something happens, you should hurry up the tree and run quickly. Don't want these peaches. Don't let yourself get hurt."

Ning Ze nodded your head, "It's okay, I know how to measure, I will pay attention, I will go down now, you should be careful.

Tao Qing nodded, looking at Ning Ze nervously.

After Ning Ze got ready, he began to walk down slowly. He only had one hand that could grasp the branches, and the other hand could hardly use his strength. Fortunately, the mountain was not too steep, and there was a place for his feet to fall on. I grabbed the branches, so it didn't take much effort to go down, and Ning Ze's skill is good, it's really nothing to go down in such a small place.

Before Tao Qing's nervous energy passed, Ning Ze had already descended below.

In order for Tao Qing to see him, Ning Ze walked towards the middle of the way, and he waved to Tao Qing, "Ah Qing, I'm down, I'm not hurt, I'll see what's going on down there before calling You, don't worry."

Tao Qing nodded vigorously, "I know, Aze, slow down and leave me alone."

Ning Ze was relieved after hearing Tao Qing's words, and then walked towards the place where he came down. There is flat ground under this cliff, and there is nothing else, there is not a single cave, and there are more peaches falling below. The peaches were already out of season, but there were still so many peaches here because no one came to pick them.

The peaches hanging on the tree are already red. If they are not picked, they will all rot on the ground and be used as fertilizer.

Ning Ze stepped on the ground under his feet and found that it was really quite fat. If it was used to grow crops, it would probably save a lot of manure.

Ning Ze walked around the bottom, did not find any danger before walking, and said to Tao Qing who had been watching from above, "Ah Qing, you can come down, it's safe down here, come down Let's discuss it again."

After hearing this, Tao Qing nodded to Ning Ze, and then imitated what Ning Ze had just done, found a tree vine, tied the machete and the back basket, and slowly climbed down.

Ning Ze watched nervously from below, for fear that he would accidentally fall off.

Fortunately, Tao Qing has been running in the mountains since he was a child, and he has climbed a lot of hills, so there is no problem in climbing this place.

After arriving below, Tao Qing was even more surprised. Many of the peaches in this area were still intact, and it was such a pity that they fell on the ground like this.

Tao Qing picked up a peach and looked at it, and found that it was really good, there was really no other problem except that it was too ripe.

Tao Qing said to Ning Ze, "Ah Ze, why don't we pick up the peaches from this place first, and leave the ones on the trees alone. It's a pity that such a big peach has rotted like this."

Ning Ze also picked up a peach and looked at it, and found that there was nothing wrong with the peach except that it was slightly soft.

Ning Ze gently peeled off the skin and saw that the peach flesh inside was red. Ning Ze took a small bite, and the mouth was full of sweetness. Although the flesh was a little soft, the taste was still good.

Looking at the peaches on the tree, Ning Ze also reached out to pick one, peeled off the skin and tasted it, and found that the taste was similar, and the ones on the ground could be eaten even if they were not bad. He nodded at Tao Qing, "Then pick it up." , After going back, discuss with Dad and the others how to do this, there are so many peaches, there must be more than enough to eat."

Tao Qing said, "You can pick it and sell it. If you can't sell it in the town, you can go to the county town to sell it. There are many people in the county town, so there must be no problem."

This is not the only thing Ning Ze thinks about. The peaches cannot be stored for a long time. Even if they sell them, it will take some time. They still have to find other ways. It's not that simple anymore.

But these things can be considered later, Ning Ze said, "Pick it up first, and discuss it after we go back."

Tao Qing nodded, "Okay," then moved his hands and feet swiftly.
