"vegetative" entangled

Fang Qunchun didn't sleep well last night and woke up very early the next day.

While he was sleeping, he vaguely heard someone fetching water from the well downstairs, and the sound of the iron bucket hitting the floor was extremely clear and loud. Qunchun squinted his eyes and got up, thinking that he could not sleep anymore, so he simply got up and walked to the window Looking out.

It was Cheng Ye by the well, seeming to be scrubbing something.

Strange, why are you washing things early in the morning?

Fang Qunchun yawned, didn't take it seriously, turned and went downstairs.

After Cheng Ye entered the house, he helped him wash and serve porridge.For some reason, Qunchun had the illusion that Cheng Ye looked at him a lot today, and there was no strange dodder growing on his face.

This morning to drink porridge, Cheng Ye got up early in the morning to cook porridge, the rice grains were plump and smooth, and the room was filled with a strong aroma of rice porridge.

There were only two large bowls of porridge on the table, a plate of fried pork with capers and beans sprinkled with red pepper, and a small red basket filled with five or six steamed chubby sweet potatoes, which were still steaming.

Fang Qunchun watched as Cheng Ye scooped a large spoonful of fried minced pork with capers and beans into his bowl, the red, green, blue and yellow colors were rippling in the porridge water.

"After eating this meat today, we have to wait for the Chinese New Year. The domestic pigs we raise are all kept for the Chinese New Year..." Cheng Ye scooped up the porridge mixed with capers and fried minced meat with a spoon, and put it on his lips first. After blowing, he sent the porridge into Fang Qunchun's mouth.

Qunchun gave a soft nasal "uh" as an answer.

The porridge is already cold, and the capers just stir-fried out of the pot are sour, fragrant and spicy. After chewing twice, the capers are crispy and raw, and the stir-fried minced meat is dry and soft, sour and spicy. Fang Qunchun is greedy I just stared at the spoon and wanted to take another bite.

It's not that he hasn't eaten more delicious and delicate dishes before, but in this situation, he is already satisfied with hot food, not to mention, the natural food in the mountains is full of fragrance and simplicity.

He was quickly fed a bowl of porridge, and the fried pork with capers and sour beans was too much to eat. Fang Qunchun wanted to have another bowl of plain porridge, but he let Cheng Ye eat his fill first.

Cheng Ye directly poured more than half of the capers on the plate into his own bowl, and after stirring the porridge, he picked up the bowl and ate very loudly and quickly.

Just now when he was feeding Fang Qunchun porridge, he picked out all the crushed red peppers in the dish, but when he ate it by himself, he ate it with capers and diced meat.

After finishing the porridge, Cheng Ye took two long and thick sweet potatoes from the basket and peeled them two or three times. He took a sweet potato in one hand, handed one to Fang Qunchun's mouth, and ate the other in front of himself.

Sweet potatoes are very sweet, glutinous and not greasy. Fang Qunchun felt his stomach was full after eating it.

"Where are you going today?"

"Go into the mountains." Cheng Ye began to clear the table, "Go and carry logs back. The road in the deep mountains is not easy to walk, and there are too many weeds and mosquitoes. Are you still going?"

Qunchun nodded affirmatively, "Go."

The Spring Festival is less than a month away, and Cheng Ye is going to go into the mountains to carry the fallen trees and store them at home.Because preparing to cook and fry all kinds of food before the New Year requires a lot of firewood to light the fire.

Those who live in the mountains will not cut down trees.In summer and autumn, people will pick up snakeskin bags full of bulging pine needles in front of the house, behind the house, and at the foot of the mountain—the yellow needles that fall from the pine trees. These pine needles have a good combustion-supporting effect, and everyone in the mountains likes to pick them up. Use it when you go home and burn the stove.

In the deep mountains, the trees are densely packed, and there are wild boars, jackals and other wild beasts running rampant everywhere.Many trees will be knocked down and broken, and some large trees' branches and leaves will be too heavy and the whole branch will be broken.Cheng Ye went into the mountains to pick up these wood branches.

In fact, he didn't quite agree with Fang Qunchun going with him.

This skin is tender and tender, and a trip to the mountains can make mosquitoes bite all over your body.

"It's okay, I'll pay attention." Fang Qunchun thought, although he couldn't carry it with his hands or shoulders, Cheng Ye has been taking good care of him, even if he was a little tired from walking, it wouldn't be a big deal to accompany Cheng Ye up the mountain .

"Okay." Cheng Ye stopped persuading him, took a pole and a tightly tied snakeskin bag, and led him into the deep mountain.

"Follow me, and call me if you need something." Cheng Ye led Fang Qunchun along the trail, the tall and dense pampas grass on both sides blocked most of the light from the sky.

Cheng Ye was still holding a sharp sickle in his hand. He walked in front and cut off the pennisetum, miscanthus, and white grass with burrs. From time to time, the thorns fell down, as if he had agreed It seemed to block them from entering the mountain.

"This road is often walked by people, cut every day, and grows every day." Cheng Ye was talking to the people behind him as he walked forward, afraid that he would be bored.

"...The vitality of the plants is too strong, and it is really scary." Fang Qunchun couldn't help but sigh, and those poems said "the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates" is always correct.

Apart from dragging himself back everywhere, Qunchun hadn't discovered what the dodder growing on his body could do.

The two walked for a long time, and the mountain road inside was a bit slippery, probably because of frost and dew.Qunchun walked cautiously, the more they walked inside, the thicker the trees became, almost making their eyes dark.

"Look at that." Cheng Ye pointed to the overwhelmed pampas grass, and then stopped under the pine tree in front. Several trees had been rubbed off a lot of bark, leaving light-colored patches.

"What is this?" Qunchun was curious about everything in the mountains.

"There are traces of wild boars." Cheng Ye looked at the deep hoof prints that disappeared in front of the pampas grass. They were the footprints of wild boars.

Qunchun looked over carefully and exclaimed in a low voice, "What a huge footprint!"

"Well, it's still a sow with cubs." Cheng Ye grew up in the mountains, and at a glance, he found shallow dense trample marks next to the big footprints.

"I haven't seen a big live wild boar with my own eyes." Qun Chun smacked her lips, guessing how huge the wild boar must be from the footprints!

"Wild boars with cubs are very fierce, it's best not to meet them." After Cheng Ye finished speaking, he led him away.

"It's very fierce. Have you ever encountered wild boars? Will they go down the mountain to the village?"

"I don't. But some adults in the village have set traps for wild boars before, because that wild boar likes to come out and trample on our vegetable and corn fields." At that time, Cheng Ye watched everyone carry out the black and fat wild boar. Sometimes, it's not shocking.

But now that Fang Qunchun was by his side, he didn't want to meet the wild boar head-on, and he could hide by himself, how could Fang Qunchun dodge like this.

Walking to the deep mountain where the branches are intertwined and stacked everywhere, Cheng Ye untied the snakeskin bag, and broke off the thick branches on the ground so that they could be put straight into the snakeskin bag.One bag of wood and tree trunks was filled, and Cheng Ye continued to fill the second bag.Chunchun at the side first watched him turn the bag, and then ran to the next door to help him lift the tree trunk in the distance with his feet, bent over and held it with his hands down.

Cheng Ye glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and continued to break the branches in his hand.

"Qunchun." Cheng Ye called him, "It's all right, we're going home."

"Okay." Fang Qunchun walked over in two or three strides, watching Cheng Ye fasten the two bulging snakeskin bags, string them on the pole and pick them up.

On the way back, because he had walked through it once, Qunchun was not as cautious as he was in the morning. He followed Cheng Ye and looked around, but unexpectedly his foot slipped, and he fell down the steep slope next to him.

Thin and long pine trees grow unevenly on the slope, and there is an empty piece in the middle, but the underside is overgrown with weeds, which can completely pass through people, and there are hard stones, large and small, and sharp rocks under the invisible, rolling like this You will definitely be seriously injured if you go down.

Hearing the "Uh!" behind him, Cheng Ye quickly turned around, threw the shoulder pole off his shoulders, and then swiftly rushed to the back, reaching out to catch Fang Qunchun who had fallen down.

"Qunchun!"

Cheng Ye yelled out anxiously, and was about to jump down and jump up to hug him.

At this moment, he didn't think much about anything, only one thought was to catch Fang Qunchun and prevent him from getting hurt.

At the same time, Cheng Ye suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder blade, as if something had been pulled out from his back.

Qunchun, who suddenly lost his center of gravity, lost his voice for a moment, and his mind went blank.

However, what followed was that the dodder that was tightly tied to his wrist suddenly disintegrated, spraying out in all directions like a spider spinning silk.

Strands of turquoise dodder vines wrapped around the trunks, branches, and green leaves in all directions, tightly entangled, and Fang Qunchun, who had fallen, was firmly held in mid-air middle.

It looks like a prey waiting to be slaughtered in the middle of a spider's web.

Fang Qunchun's whole body stretched out in a "big" shape. He was so surprised that he could see the dodder vine in his hand that suddenly saved him.

It turned out that they are still very good.Qunchun thought with complicated emotions.

Above, Cheng Ye witnessed the whole process, heaved a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and slowly lowered his heart that had been lifted suddenly.

He can't ignore the severe pain in his back now... because just at that moment, the humulus on his body grew violently, and rushed down suddenly, trying to hold Fang Qunchun's back--now it happened to hook Fang Qunchun's back shoulders.
