Chapter 33 Who is behind?
Borrow some cabbage and radish seeds from Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dayun, and sow them before the cold dew. This way, when the university is closed in winter, the whole family can Delicious food!
However, during this process, for a few months, we could only rely on digging wild vegetables to prepare our meals.
Yang Ruoqing picked each okra off the vine and put it into the bamboo basket. She felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw that half of the basket was filled with weeds.
But she didn't leave just yet.
This season, here is a pine forest again. After a rain, it is the perfect time for matsutake mushrooms to bloom. It is impossible to find them!
Continue to search deeper into the forest, keeping your sight under the tree roots, covered with pine hair and dead leaves, and in the gaps between the stones...
The hard work pays off, Finally she found him. Just under the roots of a pine tree in front, the stick carefully opened the layer of red pine hairs covering it, and what was immediately visible were clusters of cute and delicate matsutake mushrooms shaped like small umbrellas!
Matsutake, scientific name Matsutake mushroom, is a non-toxic and delicious edible fungus.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the color of the matsutake mushrooms in front of her. The caps were brown and the stems were white, but they were fresh!
His eyes suddenly lit up. He squatted down and used his fingers together to gently uproot the matsutake mushrooms, brushing off the soil and stone debris at the roots, and then carefully put them into the bamboo basket beside him.
Matsutake mushrooms are rich in nutritional value. Whether eaten fresh or dried, they are good-tasting ingredients. They are especially suitable for people like Yang Huazhong who are physically weak after a serious injury!
Estimating that all the matsutake mushrooms in this area have been picked, Yang Ruoqing's lips curved in pleasure as she weighed the heavy bamboo basket in her hand.
But when she stood up and looked at the scenery around her, she was stunned.
I was just looking for matsutake mushrooms, and unknowingly walked into the depths of the forest. I didn’t leave any signs on the road along the way. When I looked up, the light all around suddenly dimmed. , and after another rain, a mist rose in the forest, and Yang Ruoqing could not tell the difference between east, west, north and south!
When Yang Ruoqing heard that she was about to go out, Sun walked to the side door and specifically told her to just wander around in the fields behind the house in front of the village and not to go to the hillsides or woods here.
I heard that it was also the weather after rain in the past. Someone from the village came to graze cattle in this forest, and the cattle got lost in the blink of an eye. Many people searched but could not find it. Later, a hunter from the village found the remains of the cow in the mountain col behind the forest. Only half of the cow's head was left after being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains!
Thinking of wild beasts, especially those hungry wolves and those wild boars in groups, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but feel nervous.
Creatures such as wolves and wild boars usually live in groups, and there will be a large group when they come out!
Even if he was in his heyday in his previous life, even if he wore advanced weapons with him, he would not dare to provoke them rashly.
Looking at herself now, with her clumsy body that made her gasp for breath when walking fast, and the branch in her hand, she secretly shook her head.
If this kind of thing had happened to Yang Ruoqing in the past, she would have been so scared that she peed her pants, but now, Yang Ruoqing told herself not to panic, and the more calm she had to be at this time!
Calm down, calm down!
She didn't run around, but she didn't move her feet until she realized she was lost. She just stood there and didn't move.
Now, she first took a few deep breaths and forced her heartbeat to calm down. Then, she began to lower her head and looked at the branches and grass beside her... After it rained, how big was the ground? She can also leave some traces. Wherever she has walked, the friction between her body and the surrounding branches, the small stones and dead grass she has stepped on will all leave special traces.
Yang Ruoqing had been focusing on finding the way at first, and did not notice a pair of eyes staring behind her. After walking for a while, she suddenly realized something.
No matter whether it is a human or a beast that follows behind, you cannot stay here for long!
So, she quickened her pace. Behind her, the feeling of being followed never dissipated, sometimes far and sometimes near. It seemed that the other party was deliberately keeping a certain distance from her, but keeping her close to her. Within sight.
Damn it, this feeling of being stared at like prey is really unpleasant!
Yang Ruoqing was rushing forward with all her strength, already holding a few sharp stones in her hands. As long as the thing behind showed signs of attack, the stones in her hand would not be in vain!
When she came in just now, she didn’t think anything happened. When she went out now, she realized that the forest was really big. She might have walked to the deepest part of the forest. No wonder she could pick so many wild vegetables. There are so many fresh matsutake mushrooms to pick!
But it also caused unknown troubles for herself. Fortunately, the light in front of her was getting brighter and brighter. She held back the joy in her heart and ran away towards the exit of the forest ahead. ...
Behind a big tree not far behind him, he looked at the fat figure who suddenly ran wildly, grinned at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and scratched his head, this fat girl, Not that stupid!
Turning around, he continued walking deeper into the forest. Today's harvest was not enough, he had to go to the other side of the forest!
Outside the forest, Yang Ruoqing ran down the hillside to the back of the village. After making sure that the feeling of being followed behind her had completely disappeared, she stopped and sat on a big rock aside to gasp for air.
Turn around and look at the dark forest behind her, with lingering fear!
Nice, what on earth is that?
It seems that we really can’t go into the woods easily next time. It’s too dangerous. If we die in there, where will our parents find us?
However, there are so many good things hidden deep in the forest, and it’s really hard not to go in!
What a contradiction!
After clearing her mind, Yang Ruoqing took a look at the sky. It was already dark. The villagers in the fields were preparing to finish work and go home for dinner.
Yang Ruoqing was at a small stream behind the village, sorting out the wild vegetables, matsutake mushrooms and other things in the basket, washing them cleanly in the clear stream water, and then putting them back into the basket.
She took off her shoes again, barefooted, rolled up her trousers to her knees, stepped on the stones in the stream and stood in the water. He loosened the strip of cloth he used to tie his hair and buried his knotted bird's nest hair in the flowing stream.
Although there was no shampoo, this was living water, a steady stream of living water. After rinsing and rubbing it, when she wrung out her hair and climbed ashore and put on her shoes again, the last trace of the horizon was The light will be swallowed up by the night.
As dusk fell, lights lit up in the village below, and dogs barked from time to time.
Yang Ruoqing picked up the basket, no longer delayed, and rushed towards the village with the wind at her feet!
