save the cannon fodder

After entering the mountain, the weeds on the side of the road are getting taller and taller. Mu Qing also used a hunting knife to clear a small path, and slowly climbed up the mountain. Before going up the mountain, Mu Qing also observed a shortcut and went up from the side There will be fewer weeds.

Mu Qing also walked to the depths of the mountain forest step by step. On the way, he found a lot of broken branches. The sections were complete cuts and were cut down with a knife. Someone must have been here before, but I don’t know if it is the house. original owner.

Mu Qing also followed those traces and walked forward. The people who came here certainly did not come to the deep mountains for no reason. Besides, the traces have not disappeared after so long. Those people should also come often, so these traces have not disappeared. .

The trees are getting more and more luxuriant, the tall trees are growing straight, occasionally there are a few unknown birds calling, after Mu Qingyi left for a short time, he found a few dead trees with a few fungi growing on them The plant has a black-brown cap, and Mu Qing didn't know it, so he asked 003.

"This is Gallus pilosula, edible, rich in various nutrients, and should taste good."

Mu Qing also understood, and made a mark next to it, planning to pick a few plants and taste them when he came back.

Continuing to walk in, Mu Qing also found a few big chestnut trees, which were full of fruits. After staying under the tree for a few minutes, the heavy sound of chestnuts falling was heard, and there was a chestnut on the ground every few steps. Most of them are covered with thorny shells, and a few are without shells.

Logically speaking, there should be a lot of chestnuts without shells. When a chestnut with an open shell fell heavily, the chestnut inside fell out due to the impact.

After a while, Mu Qing also realized the reason for the lack of chestnuts. There were several squirrels picking up chestnuts under the chestnut tree, and they only picked up chestnuts without external thorns.

Mu Qing also walked lightly, trying to get closer to them little by little, but they ran away when they heard the slightest sound, still holding a chestnut in their arms.

Only one squirrel, which was still picking at the chestnut shell, did not run away. It carefully avoided the thorny shell, and used its hind legs and forelegs to break the chestnut vigorously.

Seeing how hard it was, Mu Qing took the initiative to help open the chestnut's shell and took out the chestnut. When the little squirrel found someone, it ran to the tree in panic and couldn't come down.

Mu Qing raised her head and looked helplessly at the little squirrel on the tree, raised her eyebrows, this squirrel is so afraid of people, she was still wondering if she could take one back and give it to Ye Yiyun, Ye Yiyun would like this little animal very much , can be regarded as a gift to pursue her, but now it seems unlikely.

Mu Qing also put the chestnuts in his pocket, and left the chestnut tree. There seemed to be a chestnut tree in front of their house. After returning, he went to pick it up, cooked it as a snack, and came to pick it up if it was not enough.

Mu Qing also ignored the little squirrel and continued to walk inside, but the little squirrel quickly climbed down the tree after she left, climbed up another tree with its head on its head, and followed Mu Qingyi closely.

After walking for a while, Mu Qing gradually heard the sound of the stream. The sound was very close to her, and it should be not far away. Mu Qing followed the sound and walked around the trees, getting closer to the stream.

Not long after, Mu Qing also walked to the side of the stream. This stream is not big, and the cold flowing water is stirring on the boulder beside it, making a crisp sound. The downstream is more gentle, and the crystal clear water flows slowly. A few small fish can be seen with the naked eye, and many animal footprints can be vaguely seen in the mud next to it, both large and small.

Mu Qing also raised his vigilance, and went down the stream, and saw a beautiful flower beside the stream, yellow and white, and exuding a faint fragrance. Mu Qing also touched the stamen with a hunting knife, and asked curiously : "003, what kind of flower is this?"

"This is honeysuckle, also called honeysuckle. It has good heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, and has certain medicinal value. After drying and dehydrating, it can be made into tea." 003 checked the introduction in the system and gave the answer.

It has medicinal value, that's pretty good, Mu Qing also picked a few flowers with her hands, and is going to take them back to show Ye Yiyun first, if she wants, she can come back and pick some back, and drink it with bubbles.

As it went down, the stream became narrower, and finally flowed to the cliff. Mu Qing could no longer follow, so she turned back on the original road. On the way back, she found a clump of white chrysanthemums and a few lilies. Picked some, ready to go back and give to Ye Yiyun.

It was getting late, and Mu Qing was also planning to go back the same way and visit other places in the mountains later.

After walking back for a while, Mu Qing also came back under the chestnut tree. The squirrel he saw last time was no longer there.

Mu Qing also looked at the flowers in her hands and cheered herself up. She still had flowers without the little squirrel. Mu Qing also continued to walk towards the direction where she found the squirrel, but she didn't find the little squirrel who had been following her all along. .

The little squirrel climbed up to the branch and looked at Mu Qingyi from a distance. When it was almost out of sight, it climbed down the tree and chased after it. The little thing was really small and walked lightly. After that, it was still not found.

The way back was much easier than when I came here. She had cut down the weeds on the side of the road, and just walked back. Mu Qingyi was holding flowers in one hand, and chicken fir fungus in the other. Don't reach the waist, and walked quickly down the mountain.

After walking for about four or ten minutes, Mu Qing also saw a house not far away from the mountain, with smoke rising from the kitchen, and Ye Yiyun seemed to be cooking dinner.

Mu Qing also quickened his pace, walked through a forest, and gradually saw a little exposed eaves, the glutinous rice ears lying in front of the house moved slightly, raised his head and saw Mu Qingyi not far away, running excitedly Going over, he kept jumping on Mu Qingyi's body, curious about what was in her hand.

Mu Qingyi raised her hand up, worried that it would accidentally break something, and the glutinous rice was in front of her. Mu Qingyi was holding the thing in both hands, and it was difficult for her to walk. She had to gently move it aside with her long legs, and bowed her head. He warned: "Nuomi, if you block the way again, today's dinner will be gone."

Mu Qing didn't care if it understood or not, and walked into the house with long legs.

The glutinous rice behind him didn't follow, it found something more interesting, and excitedly ran towards the little squirrel who was following behind Mu Qingyi, the little squirrel was frightened by the huge monster, and rushed to the door in front of the house in a panic. On the grapefruit tree, no longer come down.

Mu Qing also didn't know what was going on outside the house, and gradually approached the kitchen. Looking inside, Ye Yiyun was inside, sitting on the bench in front of the stove, staring at the flames in front of her with her face resting on her face. I didn't find it when I walked to her.

Mu Qing also naturally sat down beside her, handed the flower in front of her, and said softly: "Here."

Before Ye Yiyun could react, Mu Qing also found that the flower in her hand had wilted due to lack of water for too long, and the petals were drooping in a state of depression, without any energy.

Mu Qing also frowned, took back the flowers in his hand, and said sullenly: "I still don't want them, they are all wilting."

Ye Yiyun came to his senses at this time, reached out to take the flower in her hand, but found that she was holding it a little tight, Ye Yiyun looked at Mu Qingyi, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it for me?"

Mu Qing also let go of his hand and said, "It's for you, but they're wilted and ugly. If I had known they were wilting so quickly, I wouldn't have picked them." Her voice was a little depressed and lost.

Ye Yiyun smiled lightly, and took the flowers in her hand. Unexpectedly, because of this depression, Mu Qingyi comforted her: "The flowers are beautiful, and I like them very much. Let's find a bottle and put them in. It doesn't wither so quickly."

Ye Yiyun likes the feeling that Mu Qingyi misses her so much, even for a few flowers, Ye Yiyun can feel Mu Qingyi's affection for her.

Mu Qing also pursed her lips, looking at the wilting flowers, she was still a little unhappy, secretly decided to go there to transplant those flowers when she was free, and keep them next to the bedroom, so that Ye Yiyun could see them whenever she wanted.

Ye Yiyun went out and found a small jar, filled it with some water, put the flowers in it, sorted it out, and put it by the bedroom window.

Back in the kitchen, Ye Yiyun realized what Mu Qingyi was still holding, and looked at her curiously. Mu Qing also noticed her gaze, recovered from the depression just now, and happily wanted to introduce her This fungus was found.

Before Mu Qingyi could speak, Ye Yiyun had already recognized what was in her hand.

"Is this a chicken fir fungus? You found it from the mountain?" Ye Yiyun looked at the chicken fir fungus in her hand in amazement. She didn't expect this to grow in the mountains here.

Mu Qing also hummed dully, it turns out that Ye Yiyun also knows what this is, but she is the only one who doesn't know?Mu Qing also thought of the honeysuckle she discovered, maybe Ye Yiyun didn't know about it.

Mu Qing also took out a few honeysuckle flowers that he picked randomly, handed them to Ye Yiyun, and asked, "Do you know what kind of flower this is?" There was anticipation in his tone.

Ye Yiyun took the honeysuckle flowers, carefully identified them, and said hesitantly, "Is this a honeysuckle flower? It looks similar."

Mu Qingyi: "..."

Mu Qing also felt frustrated immediately, she didn't know how to cook, couldn't recognize any vegetables, and didn't know anything about collybia spp.

Ye Yiyun didn't notice her emotions, and asked Mu Qingyi: "Really? Is this honeysuckle?"

Mu Qing also nodded listlessly, and told Ye Yiyun where she found the honeysuckle. Next time, she can go back and pick more and dry it to make tea. Ye Yiyun nodded in agreement, looking forward to going to the mountains with Mu Qingyi next time.

In the evening, the sky was covered with sunset glow, the sun had gradually set, and their dinner was ready. The chicken fir fungus that Mu Qingyi picked today was one of the main dishes, and Ye Yiyun brought the rest of the dishes from the vegetable garden behind the house Picked from the house, the dinner is also very rich.

Before eating, Mu Qing also planned to feed the glutinous rice to eat its dog food, and searched the house for a long time, but did not see its figure, which is strange, it is usually in the house.

Mu Qing also remembered that Nuomi was outside the house when she came back, so she went outside and took a look, found the Nuomi under the grapefruit tree, squatted under the tree, looked up at the tree, saw Mu Qing coming over, and lightly touched the tree. Called a few times.

Mu Qing also frowned, thinking that there was something on the tree, and when he looked up, he saw nothing but the leaves and pomelo, but Mu Qing also didn't think that the glutinous rice would bark at the tree for no reason, so he carefully looked for the fruit on the tree. in a circle.

Ye Yiyun also came out of the house when she heard the voice, saw a person and a dog staring at the tree, walked over curiously, and asked, "What are you looking at?" After finishing speaking, she also looked at the tree. A cute little squirrel was found in the crevice of the leaves.

Mu Qing also saw that little squirrel, with a little white on its fluffy tail, a bit like the one she met on the mountain, but Mu Qing was not sure, since it was some distance away from the mountain, it might not be able to come with me.

Ye Yiyun felt that it was pushed up the tree by the glutinous rice, so she didn't dare to come down because she was afraid of the glutinous rice below, so she took the initiative to bring the glutinous rice into the house, fed it dog food, and kept it from making trouble. Watch the squirrel and wait for it to come down.

"Qing Yi, why doesn't it come down?" Ye Yiyun rubbed his tired neck, and looked at the little squirrel on the tree that didn't move much.

"Maybe we are below, it doesn't dare to come down, let's step back and take a look." Mu Qing also led Ye Yiyun back, standing not far away to observe.

After a while, the little squirrel on the tree moved and nimbly climbed into the middle of the tree, staring at them cautiously. Just when they thought the little squirrel would just leave like this, the little squirrel climbed down the tree and stood upright and looked at them , a little closer to them.

Ye Yiyun and Mu Qing didn't dare to move, for fear of scaring it away, the little squirrel became more courageous when seeing that they hadn't moved, and ran up to them after a while. body.

Mu Qing also resisted the urge to grab it, she wanted to see what the squirrel was going to do, but the little squirrel circled around Mu Qingyi's body, and finally stopped by Mu Qingyi's coat pocket , into the pocket.

After a while, the little squirrel got out of the pocket, holding a chestnut in its two small hands, it threw the chestnut down from the pocket first, then climbed down by itself, picked up the chestnut on the ground, and ran away.

Mu Qingyi was now sure that this squirrel was the one on the mountain. She never expected to come all the way here just for the chestnut in her pocket. Aren't there many chestnut trees in the mountain?

Ye Yiyun watched in amazement as the little squirrel took out chestnuts from Mu Qingyi's pocket and ran away, curiously asked: "How does it know you have chestnuts in your pocket? I don't even know."

Mu Qing also told her about meeting this little squirrel on the mountain, Ye Yiyun narrowed her eyes with a smile: "It can't be that it thought you robbed it of food."

Mu Qing also shrugged his shoulders. Who knows, he took out his pocket and found that there was still a chestnut. The little squirrel hadn't taken it away. I don't know if it will come to get it. Mu Qing also doesn't want to be crawled by it again. After putting the chestnut under the grapefruit tree, he and Ye Yiyun went back to the house for dinner.
