Chapter 390: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (5)
Shuangshuang got up early the next morning. She boiled the pheasant soup that Bonnie had cooked yesterday, and used it to make noodles this morning.
Just after I finished cutting the noodles, Dunzi and Bonnie came back from exercising outside.
After the family had eaten noodles, Dunzi carried the basket on his back and walked towards the town.
Shuangshuang was not idle either, so she took the machete to the backyard to sharpen it.
There were also arrows, which were polished to a cold gleam.
When Bonnie saw her mother sharpening a knife, she understood what was going on and squatted over to ask.
"Mom, are you going up the mountain?"
"Yes, it rained the past two days, so I went to see if there were any mushrooms to pick."
Bonnie didn't say anything, nor did she say she wanted to go. Instead, she went straight to the kitchen, quickly grabbed a few handfuls of whole-grain flour, and baked a few pancakes.
Wrap it in dried lotus leaves and hand it to Shuangshuang.
"Here are some cakes, you can eat them when you are hungry."
Shuangshuang didn't hesitate to take it and put it in her arms.
Bonnie and her daughter each carried a backpack and put everything they needed to take into the backpack.
Bonnie also happily went to the mountain with her mother, taking her small bow and arrow, as well as a light machete.
Their house was built by Old Man Qi and his family after they married Xu Dashan. His father had chosen the foot of the mountain for him during the construction.
Although it is a bit far from the village, it is more convenient to go to the mountain.
Because her father and brothers came to help her build the house, and their skillful hands and feet made the villagers change their views on the indigenous people in the mountains.
Several poor families were willing to marry people from the mountains, which allowed Qi Daya's mother to make several coal businesses.
Some of them got married, while others married into the mountains.
We are all aware that the Qi family members are so tall and strong, how could they grow up if they didn’t have enough food to eat?
Seeing that there were many usable herbs in the mountains, Shuangshuang picked them without wasting any and stored them in the space to prepare for the natural disaster in the clip.
The mother and daughter dug as they walked, and encountered some scattered pheasants and rabbits on the roadside.
Perhaps they also know that hunters will not hunt them in the spring.
He actually deliberately walked back and forth under Shuangshuang's noses.
Shuangshuang was so angry that she clenched the machete in her hand and thought, if she can't kill me, can she capture me?
Bonnie also drew her bow with excitement and prepared to shoot.
Shuangshuang ignored Bonnie's excitement, quietly picked up a few stones, and waited for the rabbits chasing each other to pass by her again.
He immediately threw out a few stones in his hands, hitting the front legs of several rabbits directly.
Suddenly, the rabbit that was running happily fell to the ground. It wanted to jump up and run away, but Shuangshuang ran up and caught it.
I did the same thing when I encountered the pheasant. I wanted to fly, but my wings were injured and I could only run on my feet.
But how could an injured pheasant possibly outrun Shuangshuang?
They all became her captives, and she took good care of them when she returned.
Only after everything was done did Bonnie react.
He pulled a few vines and tied up their feet.
"Mom, we just got out."
"You're right. I'll find a place to hide."
Shuangshuang looked around and found a tree with lush branches and leaves.
Put the things together with the backpack directly on the tree and hide them, and take them down when you come back.
Shuangshuang would only stop digging when they came across medicinal herbs, and would just keep on going with their heads down the rest of the time.
She wanted to go to the pine forest on the top of the mountain to see if there were any mushrooms to pick. Now, for her, anything that was edible and could be exchanged for money was what she wanted.
It took three quarters of an hour to climb to the pine forest at the top of the mountain.
Bonnie was walking in front, so she reached the top of the mountain first and turned around and shouted happily.
"My lady, look, there are so many mushrooms here!"
"it is good."
Shuangshuang also quickly reached the top of the mountain. Bonnie had already taken a stick and was digging through the thick layer of pine needles.
"Mom, there are a lot of mushrooms here."
"Well, we'll pick them first, take them back to dry and see if we can take them to the restaurant in town to exchange for money."
"No one should want this, right? It's everywhere."
Anyway, Bonnie didn't believe that anyone would spend money to buy something that was everywhere in the mountains.
"I don't know. Anyway, I'll take it back first. If no one wants it, I can store it and eat it in the winter."
"Too!"
Putting down the backpack, the mother and son simply acted like mushroom pickers.
They picked mushrooms together and put them into the space. It took them an hour and a half to finish picking all the mushrooms in this area. Seeing so many mushrooms, the mother and daughter were suddenly in trouble.
I'm worried about leaving it here, but it's impossible to carry it around.
"Mom, what should I do about this?"
Bonnie curled her lips. She felt as embarrassed now as she was excited when she was picking the fruits just now.
"Let's send it back first."
I picked this up with great difficulty, it would be a shame if you break it.
So the mother and daughter quickly packed it up in a sack, and then Huanyan took the hoe handle and carried it back.
Bonnie's own backpack was also full.
When they arrived at the place where they had hunted rabbits before, Huanyan took off the backpack and slowly went down the mountain.
"Boni, go back first and open the door."
Bonnie was very diligent. She ran home quickly and opened the back door with her key.
Shuangshuang went home, took out the bed mat and told Bonnie about it.
"Boni, don't go with me this afternoon. Clean up these things at home.
Pick out the whole ones, blanch them in water, then use a few pans to dry them and eat them later when there is no vegetable.
The pheasants and rabbits in the backpack were raised in the pen.
Your eldest brother comes back every day during this period, so why not kill one every day to nourish his brain?"
“Okay, Mom.
I'll kill one later and wait for my brother to come back to eat it.
Please sit for a while, I will serve you some food."
"No hurry, just eat.
I ate some pancakes and now I’m not hungry, so I’ll go up the mountain again.”
Next, Shuangshuang entered the mountain alone and slowly advanced into the mountain.
He directly asked Xiaojuzi to cheat, "Find me where there are a lot of mushrooms or good medicinal herbs."
Little Orange told her to fill up all the sacks she brought.
"There's a large patch of houttuynia and water celery in front."
Houttuynia cordata can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate carbuncles and discharge pus, and promote diuresis and relieve stranguria. Farmers often use it to treat gynecological diseases.
Water celery can moisten the intestines, promote bowel movements, soothe the liver and lower blood pressure.
Both of these can be used as medicine and as vegetables.
Although eating too much water celery has side effects, it is better not to eat too much.
While digging water celery, I saw a group of wild boars slowly walking towards the water to drink not far away on the other side of the river.
There are big and small ones, they must be a family.
Draw the bow and shoot the arrow, test the feel of it, and carefully aim at the eyes of the largest wild boar.
With a sudden release, the scissors shot into the wild boar's eyes at lightning speed.
