rebirth through food

mushrooms and roe deer

Ye Xiaofeng and Lan'er saw that there were quite a lot of shepherd's purses, so they stopped talking and squatted on the ground to start digging.It wasn't until Ye Xiaofeng felt that his legs were numb from squatting, and stood up to move his legs, only to realize that they had been digging for a long time, and they hadn't even finished half of it, and their back baskets had already been filled with more than half.

"Lan'er, take a break." Ye Xiaofeng handed over the water that he had brought out earlier, "Sit here, and I'll look around."

I just discovered that it seemed to have rained the day before. The humid air after the rain is more suitable for the growth of various fungi. It is estimated that today's harvest will be more abundant.

Ye Xiaofeng took a cloth bag, and the pannier was already half full. Although it wasn't heavy, it was not very convenient to carry it.Fortunately, he had the foresight today and brought a few cloth bags with him to pick mushrooms.

In the mountain forest after the rain, there were as many mushrooms as he thought, but these mushrooms were still a little small, white and tender, popping up in the forest one by one.Ye Xiaofeng didn't know much about mushrooms, but he also knew that the more colorful and eye-catching they were, the more poisonous they were. He only dared to pick the ones that grew in the grass, and even looked a little gray.Of course, he would not let go of the rotten grass, where clumps of straw mushrooms were usually found.

The more Ye Xiaofeng picked them, the more interested he became, and he actually saw several kinds of expensive mushrooms in this forest that he had eaten in his previous life.Those special mushrooms that only grow in some areas can be found here, Ye Xiaofeng feels that this place is more and more different.Guarding this cornucopia, it really shouldn't be hungry.

Ye Xiaofeng only cared about picking those fat and tender mushrooms, and unknowingly went far away. When he suddenly looked up, he found that the surroundings were eerily quiet, only the chirping of birds and insects.

After all, Ye Xiaofeng grew up in the city, and he was not as courageous as the children in the mountain village. Seeing how quiet the surrounding environment was, he felt a little panicked.After looking around, Ye Xiaofeng decided to go back the same way.

It's a pity that Ye Xiaofeng is not the original Ye Xiaofeng. His ability to distinguish directions in the mountains is so weak that he stumbles and walks towards the deeper forest.By the time Ye Xiaofeng realized that he was walking in the wrong direction, his trousers had been scratched several times by weeds and thorns, and even his calves were scratched with blood.

And the worst was more than that, a strange animal ran out from nowhere and bumped towards him.

Although the animal was not big, it had a lot of strength. Ye Xiaofeng was already thinner than his peers, so he staggered suddenly.Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Xiaofeng turned around and ran, but the animals behind him were obviously faster than him in this forest, chasing after him desperately.

Ye Xiaofeng's legs were already running weak, and he didn't know when and where he threw the bag of mushrooms on his back.He twisted his foot and tripped over a tree root protruding from the ground. He knocked his head and passed out like this.

The moment Ye Xiaofeng fainted, a man in white came out from behind the tree, looked at Ye Xiaofeng coldly for a while, and sighed.

Lan'er sat on the spot and rested. After a short rest, her brother did not come back. She continued to dig shepherd's purse until the basket next to her was full, but Ye Xiaofeng was still nowhere to be seen. Lan'er didn't feel a little anxious.

Although Ye Xiaofeng went to play next to him every time, but these two times Lan'er found that his brother seemed to be different from before, at least he would take the initiative to do some tiring work, and he also knew a lot of wild vegetables.

But this love of running is still the same, I don't know where he ran this time.This mountain couldn't compare to the wild slope by the village, no matter how deep it was, even she had never been there.Even here, if she hadn't known a Orion family's daughter before, she wouldn't have known about it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Although there were no large beasts in this mountain, it was still a forest after all.

Lan'er put the two back baskets together, took water and the bag of pancakes and walked towards the mountain.

Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes in a daze, wondering why he didn't have a dream this time, and suddenly found himself lying on the ground, only to remember his fall before.

Unexpectedly, he passed out.Ye Xiaofeng rubbed his head, the wound on his head before seemed to have been touched again because of this injury, and it became hot and painful.Seeing that the scar had scabbed over the past two days, he didn't apply any medicine. At this moment, it felt damp to the touch, and it must have been torn again. He must have to apply medicine when he goes back.

Ye Xiaofeng rubbed his sore knee and stood up, then opened his mouth wide.

Beside the tree where he stumbled, the rampaging animal that had been chasing him was lying motionless on the ground, and seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Ye Xiaofeng was overjoyed, he even forgot all the pain on his head and body, reached out to pick up the mushroom bag not far away, then grabbed the animal's hind leg, and slowly dragged it away.

After walking not far, I saw Lan'er running towards me.

"Brother!" Lan'er called out, and was surprised to see the animal that Ye Xiaofeng was dragging, "Brother, did you find the prey?"

"Ahem, what did I pick up, I hit it!" Ye Xiaofeng puffed out his chest proudly, "But why are you here?"

"It's getting late, I was going into the forest to find you, but you came out unexpectedly." Lan'er said honestly.

"Huh?" Ye Xiaofeng looked around, feeling a little strange, but he didn't take it seriously, "Unexpectedly, I've already reached the edge of the forest. I'm not a road idiot."

"Brother, what is a road idiot?" Lan'er also stretched out her hand to pull a hind leg, and felt something was wrong after dragging it for two steps, "Brother, if you drag this roe deer back, its fur might be rotten."

"What? This is a roe deer?" Ye Xiaofeng was surprised. He had heard that roe deer was delicious, but he had never eaten it. This animal that looked like a deer and a sheep turned out to be a roe deer. "Wait, I'm going to find a branch."

Not too far away, I saw a tree branch that was not too big or small on the ground. Although the part of the branch that fell off was very neat and fresh, Ye Xiaofeng didn't think much about it. He and Lan'er worked together to lift the roe deer up and dragged Leaving with the branches.

The perfect thin lips of the man in white behind the tree curved slightly.

Ye Xiaofeng and Lan'er carried their baskets one by one. Although Ye Xiaofeng's was only half full, it still contained half a bag of mushrooms, which was heavier than Lan'er's.

After walking for a while, the siblings felt a little out of breath, so they simply stopped to drink some water and eat a cake.

"Brother, it's so heavy." Lan'er rubbed her arms. Although she was used to doing the work, this roe deer weighed at least several dozen kilograms, and it was difficult to transport it back with the strength of the two of them.

"Lan'er, do you want to eat this roe deer meat?" Ye Xiaofeng thought for a while.Although this roe deer is a common beast in the forest, because of its fast speed and brute force, not everyone can easily catch it.Ye Xiaofeng has heard of the tender and delicious roe deer meat, but this is the first time he has seen it.

It is impossible to say that you don't want to eat it, but it is really not easy to transport it back.

"Yes, I don't really want to eat." Lan'er didn't know what Ye Xiaofeng meant, but when he heard him ask, she still whispered that she didn't want to eat.

"Sigh." Ye Xiaofeng sighed, how could he not know the meaning of Lan'er's words, but there was nothing he could do about it. "Lan'er, let's hold on. In the village we passed before going up the mountain, there is a family with red bricks and blue tiles. I think their family is a big family. Why don't we sell this roe deer to his house?"

"Okay." Although Lan'er was very reluctant, she still nodded.

The brothers and sisters rested for a while, and continued to drag the roe deer forward. They saw the mountain pass, and suddenly a boy in blue clothes came in front of them.

"Huh? Is this a roe deer?" The young man's brows and eyes are big and energetic, and he looks like a warrior from the looks of his clothes. "Did you roe deer hunt in this forest?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiaofeng looked the boy up and down. Although he was not very old, but judging by his appearance and clothes, they were not affordable for a farmer's family. He should have money to buy this roe deer. "This son is going to go hunting in the mountains?"

"I..." The boy rolled his eyes, "I want to go hunting in the mountains, but I wonder if this roe deer is good for hunting?"

Ye Xiaofeng shook his head honestly. "This roe deer is the most difficult to catch. If our brothers and sisters were not lucky and have some methods, we probably wouldn't be able to catch this roe deer."

"This..." There was some embarrassment on the young man's face, and suddenly an idea flashed on his face, "Then you roe deer, can you sell it to me?"

"My lord, this is not good, we managed to get it, and we are planning to have a good stewed tooth festival!" Ye Xiaofeng looked dissatisfied.

Lan'er looked at Ye Xiaofeng in surprise. Didn't my brother just say that he wanted to sell it? How could it be...

"This..." The young man rolled his eyes and smiled at Ye Xiaofeng, "Little brother, why don't I write you more money, and sell this roe deer to me."

"My lord, although we were born in poor peasant households, we are not mercenary." After speaking, Ye Xiaofeng pulled up the branch angrily and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't go." The boy grabbed Ye Xiaofeng's arm, "Brother, it's okay if I made a mistake."

"Humph."

"Brother, this little girl, to tell you the truth, my family doesn't live here, I accompanied my mother to stay at my uncle's house. My mother wanted to eat something fresh, so I boasted that I was going to hunt a big game in Haikou The young man rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Actually, I have never gone hunting in the mountains before. I was still in trouble. I will be ashamed this time. I didn't expect to meet you."

Ye Xiaofeng's face softened a little, "If that's the case, we have fulfilled my filial piety by giving up this roe deer."

"Don't worry, I won't let the two of you work in vain." After finishing speaking, the young man took out a small purse from his pocket, poured out a few small silver ingots from it, and stuffed them into Ye Xiaofeng's hand, "Little brother, take this on."
