Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 4 Orchid Pendant
Get out of the kitchen, call the other kids in the family,

"Let's go up the mountain to collect firewood. The firewood in this season is not dry, so pick up more and hang it in the air. If it is dry, it will save you from smoking when cooking."

"Okay, let's go after we tell grandma."

Mu Dun, the second son of the uncle's family, echoed Lan Ling, and shouted at the main room,
"Grandma, we went up the mountain to collect firewood, we'll be back in a while."

"Oh, go, go and come back quickly, don't go crazy elsewhere, don't go into the mountains, and watch a few small ones."

Seeing the children actively working, the old lady was quite happy and did not stop her. Lan Ling shouted 'yeah' in her heart. She didn't just want to go up the mountain to collect firewood, she also wanted to go to the mountain to see if there was anything there. For things that can be eaten or exchanged for money, first improve the life at home to some extent, and then look at the next step.

The weather in the past two days has been very sunny, and the mountain road that was wet by the rain a few days ago has become very dry. Lan Ling asked Mudun to lead his family's Caidun, who is the little sister of the uncle's family, while he took care of him. Carrying her little hoe and the small bench of her third uncle's family, carrying their respective small baskets on their backs, they set off all the way up the mountain. Lan Ling was really speechless about the names of the children in the family. The three children of the uncle's family, The eldest son is called Shidun, who is fourteen years old this year, the second boy is called Mudun, who is 12 years old this year, and the little girl is Caidun, who is eight years old this year. The two in my family are even more funny, one is called Xiaolanlan, the other is called Xiaohoe, and the little girl is named Caidun. Hoe is seven years old this year, and the one at my third uncle's house is called a small bench. It is the same year as Xiao Hoe, only two months younger than Xiao Hoe.

It seems that if the third uncle's family has another son, it should be called the small table. Thinking about it, it is very coke. Fortunately, the children are not too different in age, and their tempers are also good. They are not too disobedient and picky Yes, this made Lan Ling very satisfied. I was afraid of the best family at first, but now it seems that only the grandma at home has a little left-handed temper, picks her hands a little, and speaks a little sharply. The rest are really good. At least you don't need to be like those time-traveling women who have to calculate the separation of the family once they come here, and then they can make a fortune with peace of mind. Compared with those days, Lan Ling prefers a family to live happily together, probably in the previous life. Lonely is enough, Lan Ling is very attached to the days when someone loves someone and someone loves her in this life.

Besides, if the whole family can become prosperous together, it will be more fulfilling and cohesive. If you want to live a better life in the future, the first thing you need is manpower. Your own family is always more reliable than outsiders, Lan Ling But she doesn't want to just eat enough, she wants to go further, at least she wants her family to stop wearing patched clothes, live in that dilapidated house, no longer just food and clothing, but to enjoy life well, I also want to support my younger brothers to study, so that I can be more promising and have more achievements. I can't just stay in a small village and just be a simple farmer.

"Sister, hurry up, Brother Mudun and the others are all gone."

Lan Ling, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was woken up by the little hoe, only to realize that Xiao Mudun and Xiao Caidun had left a large part behind,

"Let's chase after him quickly, we can't let your brother Mudun and the others fall behind."

"It's also your brother Mudun."

While trotting, Little Hoe did not forget to retort,
"You brat, you react quite quickly."

Lan Ling squeezed the small hand in the palm of her hand lightly, thinking to herself, I am a leftover girl who is in her third year, and I really can't call a 12-year-old kid brother.

"There is firewood here, don't go further into the mountains, the mountains are dangerous."

After only walking 30 meters into the mountain, Mudun stopped going in.
"Understood Brother Mudun, we will be careful, and you should not go far."

The little hoe replied very cleverly, and then bent down to pick up the branches in the forest. Lan Ling was very distressed by his small appearance. They all said that the children of poor families should be in charge of the family early. I can't eat anymore, so I don't want to be coquettish and playful. Modern children are so perverse and willful because their living conditions are too good.

"Small hoe, small bench, you two, don't pick up too much, it's too heavy on your back, and it won't grow too much."

Fearing that the two children would be brave, Lan Ling felt distressed, so she could only scare her like coaxing a child.
"Got it, ma'am."

Seeing that there are some mushrooms dotted in the grass, although there are not many, it should be enough to improve a meal,
"Xiao Caidun, don't pick up branches, let your brother Mudun pick them up first, you see there are mushrooms here, come and pick mushrooms with me, you rest after picking mushrooms, I will go to collect firewood."

"Okay lady."

Xiao Caidun walked over obediently, put the branches in his hand on the ground, picked the mushrooms by pulling the bushes, Lan Ling looked at the three boys again, they were all not far away, and then bent down to pick the mushrooms in peace Come.

There were not too many mushrooms, and Lan Ling walked a little far away just by pulling them under his hands. A shining object in front of him caught Lan Ling's eyes. Lan Ling walked over, but before he took it, tears fell Come down, it is a relic left by my mother in the previous life, a necklace with a gold inlaid jade pendant, it is just a small orchid pendant, but it is all Lan Ling's thoughts, Lan Ling holds the pendant tightly in her hand, close to her chest , I thought that I would never have any connection with the past after passing through, but I didn’t expect that God still loves me and left me with a memory of past and present lives.

Lan Ling hung the orchid pendant around her neck carefully, and tightened the rope woven with dark green silk thread. Still worried, she pulled it down with her hand to make sure it wouldn't fall off, and then stuffed it into it preciously. Under the clothes, I pressed them with my hands again. The caring feeling warmed Lan Ling's heart. Although he was compelled to calm down, he still felt the anxiety of coming to another world. The moment Lan Ling took off the necklace, she was completely at ease. Mom, it turns out that you have never left me behind. I am really not alone. Thank you, thank you for your constant company!

After calming down, Lan Ling patted her chest with her hands again, making sure that the orchid pendant was still hanging on her chest, picked up the basket at hand, and was going to meet the children, only to realize that she had gone a little far, afraid of the children They were in a hurry and wanted to go back. Before leaving, Lan Ling glanced around subconsciously, and Lan Ling suddenly realized that this was the place where she bumped her head. It turned out that the pendant followed her when she passed through it. Yes, it's just - can I go back?Stretching out his hand to touch the big tree, the rough bark made Lan Ling's palm a little stinging. Lan Ling let out a long breath of stale air, and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest. The self over there didn't know what happened, did he just leave like this, or just passed out, or was he also occupied by a new soul?Everything over there became unknown, because Lan Ling knew that she would never go back!

After being sad for a moment, Lan Ling turned around without hesitation, and walked towards the way she came from. Since time and space brought her here, this is her own battlefield, just like when her parents left, Lan Ling also did not hesitate. I chose to face it with a strong face. Since I have no choice, let’s welcome it. With the most sincere heart, I will start again from here and let my life start again. ,
"Oh—here I come...."

"Sister, sister, what's the matter with you? Where are you?"

Probably the little hoe heard Lan Ling's roar and ran over in a hurry, and the other children followed suit.

"Little basket, where are you?"

This is the sound of the wooden pier,
"Sister Basket, we're here to find you."

This is the cry of the bench,

"Don't come here, be careful if you fall, I'll be right back."

Lan Ling took a few steps, the corners of her mouth were already curled up, and a big dimple appeared on her cheeks. It feels so good to be cared about by others. It has been more than ten years since anyone cared so much, even though it was just The childlike innocence of a few children is already very precious. Children, I will repay your little love today with ten times and a hundred times my sincerity.

He led the children to search this small hillside, picked up a lot of firewood, and picked half a basket of mushrooms. The harvest was quite rich, but Lan Ling still felt a little regretful that he didn't find anything that could be exchanged for money, such as herbs Lah, ginseng, or a little hare that pops out suddenly, isn’t that what is said in time-traveling novels, how come it doesn’t work when it comes to me, but, think about it, it’s the herbs and ginseng that appear In front of me, I guess I don’t recognize it, and I don’t know how those people who have passed through are so knowledgeable. Compared with myself who grew up in the city, it is a complete failure. This time travel is really not very successful. Lan Ling wasn't too frustrated. Forget it, she looked at what she was carrying in her hand and on her back, and saw that none of the children were empty-handed. In fact, it was not bad. It was finally rewarding, better than empty-handed. Come on, no one can reach the sky in one step, Lan Ling comforted himself, take your time, I have time.

Back at home, there was another rush. Lan Ling didn't know why there was so much work at home. It seemed that she was always busy. Fortunately, it was quite early to go to bed. Although she knew she was reluctant to light the oil lamp, Lan Ling was still very busy. Be happy, otherwise I really don’t know if I won’t be able to get up tomorrow, so I simply washed it, climbed onto the kang, and stretched my tired body after a day. The kang is really hard enough, only covered with thin The quilt and quilt are also hard and thin, which is not a bit worse than the beautiful and soft princess bed in my previous life. Fortunately, my mother is diligent, and she washes it cleanly. The musty smell, Lan Ling is very lucky. Although he is a poor farmer, but this family is hardworking and willing to work. As long as you have a pair of diligent hands, you will not worry about not getting rich. road.

Lying on the kang, thinking about sleeping here on the first day, when the family of four lay down, Lan Ling was extremely embarrassed. Although there were two people between her and her father, mother and little hoe, she still felt awkward. Sleeping on a kang is really a test of Lan Ling's endurance. She tried her best to persuade herself that it was her father and her blood relatives, and that she was only an 11-year-old girl. can't sleep.
