The next day it was only dawn, and Xiao Liu got up.The egg porridge was eaten at noon yesterday, and the two younger brothers ate very satisfactorily, but he was quite sad watching it.Thinking about it, he is still a 21-year-old adult. Even with strength, can't he still feed two mouths?Having made up his mind, he left the house in the afternoon to inquire about the news.
After walking for half an hour, he could see the terrain of the village clearly, but it also made him more anxious.According to his own observation and the information he heard from Mai Mai, there are about seventy or eighty households in this village, which counts to hundreds of people.Most people in the village barely have enough food and clothing, and there are a few families who have more difficulties because of many children or illnesses.And those like the Zhang family are the most difficult category.After all, there is no father who is the main labor force, and the eldest child is an 11-year-old brother, which means that there is almost no source of income.
This village is called Xiaba Village because their village is downstream of a reservoir, and there is a small river more than one meter wide flowing through the head of the village.There are two major surnames, Zhao and Li, in the village, and there are also families with other surnames who moved in.Generally speaking, Xiaba Village is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is a small village in a corner of the mountain. No wonder the people here are poor.
On the way, he also met a few enthusiastic villagers who greeted him, but Zhang Xiaoliu was afraid of revealing too much, so he just responded with a few words hastily, but he made up his mind to go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow.Because he had nowhere else to look except for walking into the mountains.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoliu got out of bed lightly, went into the kitchen and took cold water and noodles.This is the way of eating that he came up with after a long time of hard thinking last night. Add some salt to the flour and fry it thinly.Fortunately, he is also a child in the countryside, and he can take good care of himself since he was a child.Cooking and so on, although I can't say how good the technology is, but at least I can't starve to death.
Just as he was frying, the wheat also came in.
"Why do you get up so early?" The seven or eight-year-old child was just sleepy, and he thought that the two younger ones would have to sleep until dawn.
"My brother woke up right away. What are we going to do today? My brother and I will go together." Wheat couldn't tell the difference between seasonal planting and other things, but he also knew that only by working can we grow food and not be hungry, so he asked.
"I'll go to the mountains, you can watch Xiaosong at home."
"Xiaosong is fine at home, I will go with my brother." Knowing that his brother didn't want to be tired, Xiaomai shook his head and refused.It must be very scary to go to the mountains alone. He wants to accompany his brother and help him out.
Only then did Zhang Xiaoliu remember that in the past, if he wanted to work, he would sometimes leave Xiaosong alone at home.Anyway, there is no danger in the village, so I don't have time to pay attention to whether it is crying or not.But as a person with a modern education, Zhang Xiaoliu would definitely not be able to do such a thing now.What's more, he didn't know if there was any danger in the mountains, so he definitely couldn't take wheat with him.
"Good boy, listen to my brother. My brother will come back earlier. You can heat up those pancakes and eat them with Xiaosong at noon, okay?" He felt his heart soften a lot when facing such a young and sensible child, and said softly .
Mai Mai listened to him very much and agreed easily.Xiao Liu hastily ate breakfast, filled a pot of water with the pot Zhang's father used to bring water to the fields, and went to the mountains with the only dustpan at home.
Naturally, going up the mountain is self-taught, because standing at the door of the house can see the trees on the mountain in the distance, without having to look for them at all.His house is far away from the main road out of the village, but it is more convenient to go up the mountain.Even so, Xiao Liu still walked for half an hour before arriving at the foot of the mountain.
"I'm exhausted." He put the sickle behind his waist, found a rock and sat down, intending to rest for a while and then climb up in one breath.
The mountain road was more difficult than he imagined.The mountains here are not high, but the ups and downs are connected together.The mountain road has not been repaired, and it is completely like "the road becomes a road when there are many people walking". Most of the places only allow one person to pass, so it is not easy to walk across with a load.
Nearer there must be nothing to be found, even the thorn grass used for the fire has been mowed clean.Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoliu was also courageous, following the path he walked up from the foot of the mountain for another half an hour, he stopped when he saw a mulberry tree full of branches.
This mulberry tree grows by the side of the road and is not very tall. Zhang Xiaoliu can pick all of them by standing on taller rocks.If he had grown up in the village, he would have been robbed by the children long ago.It's just that this place is far away after all, and adults who come here have no time to pay attention to this kind of small wild fruit that belongs to children.Zhang Xiaoliu didn't care about these, he didn't have any special purpose when he came up, naturally it was nothing to fish for, just take it back and give it to the two little ones as snacks.
Picking off all the mature black mulberries and putting them at the bottom of the dustpan, Zhang Xiaoliu didn't go up any further and started looking for mountain treasures around.In spring, there should be plenty of wild vegetables in the mountains, so you can just find something to eat and worry about it at home.
Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road, and this is the time when the wild bamboo shoots grow most vigorously. Zhang Xiaoliu turned on the left side of the main road for a short time, and saw a dense clump of wild bamboo shoots as thick as a thumb on the slope.People in the mountains like to pick bamboo shoots at this time, which is not only the main dish at the moment, but also can be dried or pickled into sour bamboo shoots for storage.There is also a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, but the edible bamboo shoots have been dug up long ago.It was a surprise to see such a large clump at this time.
Zhang Xiaoliu put down the dustpan beside him, and carefully explored the bushes on the ground with his hands.This cluster of wild bamboo shoots does grow well, but the terrain here is not flat, which is probably why few people come here.People would rather go farther than come to this slope.
Zhang Xiaoliu didn't dare to be careless, she tiptoed to grab a tree beside her, but she didn't expect that she was wearing thin cloth shoes with only two layers of cloth sewn on instead of the sneakers she used to wear.He was a little short of height and didn't catch the branch, and the soles of his feet were slippery, and he just fell down like this.
First, it came to this unknown place, but now it’s just going up the mountain to dig a bamboo shoot and fall down. I really don’t know which god I offended recently, Zhang Xiaoliu thought to himself.Fortunately, because the mountains here are not high, the valleys below the slopes are not deep.It's just that the thorn grass growing all over the mountain here is very slippery, making him roll several meters before pulling a shrub to stop.
"It's unlucky!" He stabilized his body first, and slowly stood up with his upper arms propped up.Very good, at least no bones were injured, otherwise, he would probably have to confess here.There were a lot of blood stains on the palm of his hand because he tried to hold something in a panic, but it was still tolerable.The elbow of the left hand was more serious, a piece of skin the size of a coin was worn off, and blood oozes.
When no one can help you, it will naturally make people strong.Zhang Xiaoliu was a little depressed, and stood there for a while before cheering himself up from the bottom of his heart, ignoring the pain in his body, and starting to walk up.He swept his eyes, and suddenly found a big tree beside him, which looked quite old, and the tree was as thick as his waist.
Thinking that it would be easier to walk by leaning on the big tree, he walked over.Only then did I realize that although the big tree looked like it was still flourishing, it was actually dead in some places, and the bottom of the roots exposed to the ground began to rot.There was nothing to use, and he was a little disappointed. When he lowered his head, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the things in the tree hole close to the ground.
He couldn't believe it, and involuntarily took a closer look, only to find that it was indeed a long-standing black ganoderma.Zhang Xiaoliu lived with his parents in the countryside since he was a child, and it is also a place in the south where he relies on mountains.He has also seen many Ganoderma lucidum collected by people who go up the mountain, most of them are red Ganoderma lucidum that is only the size of a palm, only a few experienced people will look for it on purpose, and some people have found a large Ganoderma lucidum weighing more than ten catties, and sold it Not a low price.
He took a closer look, and found that the surface of the Ganoderma lucidum was dark brown with a lacquer-like luster.The back of the cap is a bit off-white, with many small tubular fungi with the edges curling inwards.After thinking about it in detail, he was quite sure that this was the black Ganoderma lucidum.
His grandfather was once regarded as half a Chinese medicine doctor in the countryside. He not only knew a lot of medicinal materials, but could also prescribe many medicines.In addition, since he was a child, he had given Ganoderma lucidum a lot, so Zhang Xiaoliu was not uncertain.But in modern times, this Ganoderma lucidum with a width of [-] to [-] centimeters would definitely fetch a good price, because wild Ganoderma lucidum has become increasingly rare.But it might not be so in ancient times. First, the ganoderma lucidum was wild at this time. Second, although the ganoderma lucidum is a good thing, it is not a life-saving thing like ginseng. It is hard to say whether there is a buyer in this small town.He thought about it and decided not to pick it up.This Ganoderma lucidum can't be eaten as food, so it doesn't help them much now.
Now that he had given up for the time being, he had no choice but to climb up again.Fortunately, I was prepared this time, and I dared to continue to go up only when I was firmly on the ground every time, but I climbed up quickly.
Seeing those mountain shoots again, Zhang Xiaoliu felt a little uncomfortable.Just for these things, he can be tossed hard.Feeling ruthless in my heart, I cleaned the mountain bamboo shoots from beginning to end.Bamboo shoots are no different than other things. They can’t be eaten after a few days, so he doesn’t let go of any of them. In the end, they piled up to about twenty catties.
Picking bamboo shoots is not only tiring, but also time-consuming.Zhang Xiaoliu put the wild bamboo shoots on both sides, rubbed his hands and continued to inspect the nearby plants.He was a little anxious, although he confessed that Maimai might not go back for lunch, but he was still not at ease.At first, I was just worried that I couldn't find anything, and it would definitely take more time.Now there are things in the dustpan, even though they are only the most common mountain shoots, he is also very happy.
Maybe God pity him that it is not easy for him to work so hard to come here, and the next time will really be rewarding.He first scoured a nest in a bush with six eggs in it.It doesn't look like a bird, it should be a wild egg.Then I saw several common wild vegetables not far away, and picked some and dug them back.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at the things in the dustpan, and his elbow was still aching, so he picked up the things and went back.
It was easy for Mo Yan to go down the mountain, especially with something on his shoulders. After all, Zhang Xiaoliu was too short to walk, and it took a lot of time to walk up the mountain.
Seeing those two houses from afar, Zhang Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west. Converted to the modern time he was used to, it was probably around four o'clock.When he got closer, he saw a few people surrounded by the door, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
After walking for half an hour, he could see the terrain of the village clearly, but it also made him more anxious.According to his own observation and the information he heard from Mai Mai, there are about seventy or eighty households in this village, which counts to hundreds of people.Most people in the village barely have enough food and clothing, and there are a few families who have more difficulties because of many children or illnesses.And those like the Zhang family are the most difficult category.After all, there is no father who is the main labor force, and the eldest child is an 11-year-old brother, which means that there is almost no source of income.
