The slope directly opposite the village is relatively flat and not high, so to go there you have to cross the river, but now because of the heavy rain for two days, the river has risen, and the adults do not let the children cross alone at this time. This is also because of accidents in which villagers were washed away by river water in previous years.

In dialect, they had to go to the back mountain. Although the back mountain is relatively high, with many trees and tall and dangerous, as long as they don't go deep, it is relatively safe in the area where there are often villagers nearby.

It's just that it's just raining and the ground is slippery, so they still need to be more careful.In addition, the wild vegetables have basically grown well during this period, and those wild vegetables are a major food for the villagers during this lean period.In the past, the children who were only five, six or seven years old in the family had already started picking and digging wild vegetables in the fields around the village, so when I saw those children, big and small, going up the mountain with baskets and hatchets, The villagers will not stop them, and some will just tell them not to run too far when they see them, and ignore them.

The ancient forests were rarely destroyed, with a lot of vegetation and rich species. Whenever it rains, there will always be a lot of plump mushrooms growing in the mountains. The villagers at the foot of the mountain are adults. Whenever they have free time, they will go to the mountains to find and pick some. You can also add a delicious meal to your family when you go back.

Dialect followed the children's team along the path that the villagers came out of and slowly went up the mountain. When they reached a relatively flat and wide area, the children stopped consciously, and then stood with a few familiar partners. Traveling together, and this place is where we gather when we return.

"Old rules," the oldest girl said with a serious face, looking at the dozen or so children in front of her, "You must never be alone, even if you are separated, you can't be too far away, and you can't run too far away." Far. If anyone goes down the mountain first, remember to break a branch by the side of the road, understand?"

"understood."

Everyone has basically been here before, and those who came for the first time did not dare to resist. Hearing that there are wild wolves and beasts in this mountain, who would dare to run around?So they all answered in unison.The girl was more satisfied and did not waste time, and soon let them separate by themselves.

There are only a few girls in the village. After helping the family with the housework, they learn embroidery from their mother or father. Some of them even get together to practice, so they are familiar with each other.

Fang Xiu'er was in her small group, and she suddenly remembered the dialect, and hurriedly looked around to ask him to come over with them, which she had already told her companions when she came, but after looking around, she saw only Dialect turning into the back of the opposite woods.

"Xiu'er?" This time it was Yang Xiaoju who was with her, and she followed the other two for a few steps but Fang Xiu'er did not catch up, so she hurriedly turned her head and called out.

Fang Xiu'er glanced again at the direction where the figure of Dialect was no longer visible, and hurriedly responded and turned to rush towards Yang Xiaoju.

Yang Xiaoju looked behind her, "Will Brother Yan come?"

Fang Xiu'er was a little sullen in her heart, but she kindly called out and left without saying a word... "Hmph, leave him alone, let's go by ourselves."

"Oh, well then, let's go too, or it won't be good if the others finish picking before they leave." Yang Xiaoju said without asking any further questions.

But the other person walking in front suddenly asked: "Fang Xiu'er, will Dialect and the others stay at your house from now on?"

"What?" Fang Xiu'er was sullen and didn't pay much attention, but someone continued.

"I think it is. I heard from my father that their house has collapsed, and it is impossible for people to live there."

"That's right, but Fang Xiu, does your family still have room for their brothers to live in? Or is it really like what my mother said, your mother is looking for a husband's house for you, is it just right for Brother Yan and the others to live in your place?" house?"

"Zhang Xiaohua, what nonsense are you talking about? What's the matter? Xiu, don't listen to what the two of them say, it's definitely not like that." Yang Xiaoju hurriedly stopped the first two people, and then turned around to comfort her friend worriedly.

The two people in front also looked back and saw Fang Xiu'er's ugly face, they stopped talking in embarrassment, after all, they were girls, even if they usually played better, they would always feel self-conscious when talking about getting married. Shy and unspeakable.This will suddenly be brought up in the wild, and both of them are a little embarrassed.

Fang Xiuer's heart was very shaken, but now in front of outsiders, she didn't know if there were any other people nearby who hadn't gone far, how could she have the nerve to bring up such a topic again?Even the argument is true, but after hearing those words, it is undeniable that she was a little flustered, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

On the other hand, Yang Xiaoju was more considerate, and seemed to see her embarrassment, so she said unhappily: "Let's do this first, Xiu'er and I will go this way, you two go over there, see you here in an hour .”

The two knew they were wrong, and murmured they agreed.

***

Fang Yan originally wanted to be near Fang Xiu'er, in case there was anything to take care of, but after going up the mountain and seeing a lot of people around her, he knew that she was a good friend she used to see, and depending on the weather, there should be no more people today. It's raining.

More people are safer, but relatively less things can be found, so when he saw Fang Xiuer and the four leaving together, he didn't follow, but found a random direction and entered the forest.

The vegetation is rarely destroyed, and the trees grow freely. In addition to the tall trees, there are also many bushes on the ground. On the contrary, because the trees have fallen leaves too much, there are fewer weeds in the forest and the field of vision is wider.

This is also good, lest any wild beasts can be found quickly.

However, just to be on the safe side, Dialect still prepared a wooden stick in his hand. Before moving forward, use the wooden stick to hit the bushes or grass. The people who came quickly disappeared into the surrounding woods in different directions. Only occasionally their voices calling for their companions were heard from afar, but as they got deeper, such voices gradually disappeared.

Most fungi like damp places, and the closer to the middle of the forest, the more there are, so there have been several waves of older children going there.

However, Fang Yan didn't go that way this time. Instead, he walked to the edge of the forest. Although the slope is so slippery, the brightness here is brighter.

No, the dark clouds in the sky seem to have dispersed a lot now, and the sun is about to rise. The drizzle will stop at some point, but the wind on the mountain is relatively strong, and the water droplets on the branches will fall when it blows. It's like it's still raining.

In addition to the layers of rotten leaves on the ground, there are also dead branches buried in the rotten leaves. Those mushrooms emerge from there, wearing round hats of various sizes, which look cute.

Probably they were the first group of people to go up the mountain, and they didn't have to go far or search carefully before they could see those mushrooms that were growing well.

He couldn't name too many names in dialect, but what he could remember the most was that the brightly colored ones were untouchable, so he chose the familiar ones.

I don't know if everyone went inside. During the time he was busy, he didn't meet a single person, but the rare dialect also became interesting, and he almost just bent down to look at the mushrooms, and didn't pay much attention. surrounding scenery.

Not to mention Xiao Jin, even he couldn't help but salivate when he saw these plump mushrooms.Unlike his 20-year life in his previous life, he who was born here with those 20-year memories rarely ate meat, so these delicious and smooth mushrooms every year are the most delicious food other than meat in this decade. .

It's a pity that he couldn't remember it as soon as he was born in the first ten years, otherwise their family's life would not be as it is now no matter what.

The posture of bending over and bowing his head soon became tiring. Fang Yan then withdrew his thoughts of running away, and put the Pteris mushrooms he had just picked in his hand into the basket on the side, only to find that the basket was full.I couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then I looked up and looked around the first time I came back to my senses.

Seeing the untidy fields below from the gaps in the leaves, I checked the distance with my eyes and found that I hadn't walked very far, so I felt relieved.

The basket was also full, but Dialect, who was about to turn back, stood up carefully and was startled by the sight in front of him.

A tree that has been split in two, one side is still standing, but the other side has been scorched, and smoke is still faintly wafting from the roots.
