Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 322 Small Notes (4)

After picking duck eggs all morning and catching a few carps, Chunqiu and the others had a delicious fish soup for lunch.

The lunch break time is always pleasant and leisurely. After eating and drinking enough for lunch, Mrs. Yang and Li stopped the two children from running outside in the scorching sun. Instead, they let the two children go back to the house to rest and refresh themselves to go out in the afternoon. .

Although the expressions of the two little ones were not very happy after hearing this, no one dared to disobey her grandma's intentions. Both of them lay obediently on the kang with their eyes closed and pretended to rest, planning to secretly have sex while her grandma was asleep. I ran out, but I didn't know that I fell asleep while lying down...

Chunqiu didn’t rest in the main house during her lunch break. The room she cleaned up yesterday was already usable, and Chunqiu returned to her “boudoir” when she was a child. Chunqiu turned his head to the side, resting his head on the warm pillow, enjoying the warm noon time like a lazy cat.

After sleeping deeply for an hour, Chunqiu wakes up with a sleepy look on his face. After walking all morning, the aches and pains in his body also show up one by one. Chunqiu supported the edge of the bed and sat up slowly. Clenching his hands into fists, he lightly tapped those sore spots on his body, Chunqiu half-closed his eyes and looked at the edge of the bed, wondering where she was going in the afternoon.

uphill?No, the sun is hot at this time, go into the water?No, I just went there this morning and ran out to play?What's more, she is already 12, and she will soon reach the age of blind date, and her mother will not agree with her to go out and have fun.

Having ruled out a lot of places that she can't go or go to, Chunqiu opened her eyes, looked through the open window, and looked into the distance calmly, she herself found sadly that she had nowhere to go?

"Hey, sure enough, it would be great if the second sister was at home." At this moment, Chunqiu missed Chunhua very much. If Chunhua was at home, she thought that she would not be as boring as before.

After all, two people are better together than one.

Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door, Chunqiu looked up, turned back and knocked on his legs, it was her mother and the others, probably going to the ground again.

Chunqiu has no expectation or idea about the rice fields, and she doesn't even want to run out wearing a straw hat on a hot day, because whether it's sweating profusely from the sun or dry mouth, it's not a good sign for her.

"Well, or else I'd better go for a walk around the mountain." Chunqiu thought for a while, it seemed that she had no other place to go besides going up the mountain.

Before going up the mountain, Chunqiu found a large piece of cloth from her mother's house, and with several twitches, he shaved off his hair, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Holding the sickle for cutting leeks last night in his hand, Chunqiu carried a basket on his back, and simply put a pot of water on his back, and only then did Chunqiu go out.

Chunqiu hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, and when she came home during the Chinese New Year, it was impossible for her to run up the mountain with her mother on her back, and Chunqiu didn't remember the path up the mountain very well.

"Phew, it looks a bit difficult to walk here." Chunqiu looked at the weeds that had blocked her way in some embarrassment. The weeds as tall as half a person were lying in front of Chunqiu. She didn't know how to do it. Thinking about whether to cut it directly at the waist or take a detour, Chunqiu hesitated and couldn't make a decision.

"Forget it, let's cut it, or it will be inconvenient when we come back." Finally, Chunqiu made up his mind to cut off the weeds blocking the road in front of him.

Of course, before cutting it off, Chunqiu first picked up the slender wooden branch on the side and kept beating against the weeds to prevent any poisonous snakes and insects from suddenly coming out of it.

Chunqiu's slapping sound startled some small insects and fled in all directions. Fortunately, no snakes sprang out, which made Chunqiu feel relieved when he dropped the wooden stick. In this world, she was terrified of some molluscs.

Bowing his head and bending over, Chunqiu grabbed the weeds that were half a person tall with his left hand, picked up the sickle with his right hand, and swung it at the grass stems. In the woods, Chunqiu continued to bend down to cut the grass. The weeds in front of him became less and less as Chunqiu waved the sickle, until at last Chunqiu cleared a path wide for one person.

Putting the sickle in his hand into the taken back basket, Chunqiu picked up the water bottle in the back bag and unscrewed it, then gulped it down. After drinking less than half of the pot of water, Chunqiu finally quenched his thirst.

Hastily reaching out to wipe the water stains from the corner of his mouth, Chunqiu screwed the kettle on and put it back to its original place.

Covering his eyes with his hand, Chunqiu looked at the mountains in the distance, originally set a direction, then picked up the backpack on the ground and rushed to the set direction.

Chunqiu is going to the east this time, there is a clear small mountain spring there, which can just replenish the water lost in Chunqiu's body, and there are dense trees and surrounded by mountains, Chunqiu can also rest in the woods.

Chunqiu still remembers the two Ganoderma lucidum plants that she and her mother found here. I wonder if there are still there?

When passing the mountain spring, Chunqiu picked up the kettle, ran to the spring and bent down to fill a pot of cool mountain spring water to quench his thirst.

This piece of spring water is much more delicious than the water Chunqiu brought from home, and it still has a hint of sweetness in it.

After drinking enough water, Chunqiu picked up a handkerchief and squatted aside to wash his face briefly. The place where he had been wiped felt a slight cool breeze. It made Chunqiu feel a little tired, she was no longer the kid who could run and jump before.

This time I went up the mountain, Chunqiu mainly wanted to see the herbs around. It is now May, and some spring and summer mature herbs can already be picked. Can also respond to emergencies.

Of course, she will not let go of the mushrooms and fungus, which are special products in the east.

After resting his footsteps, he picked up his basket and opened the way with a sickle in his hand. He did not walk on the main road when he walked into the mountains. He took those small trails, which were sparsely populated and not destroyed by other characters. Maybe Chunqiu could find something good. thing.

Along the way, I met several Prunella vulgaris plants with good character and medicinal effect. Chunqiu stretched out his hand and put away the reddish-brown fruit ears. herbs.

Along the way, besides some herbs, Chunqiu picked up a few piles of small mushrooms, and she planned to go back and make mushroom sauce to eat.

The dense pine needles are spread on the land in front of you. Every time Chunqiu steps on it, you can hear some small noises. There is a large pine forest in front of you. This place can be regarded as a paradise for little squirrels...
