Chapter 106 Mountain Stream
It was just dawn the next morning when a roar suddenly sounded in the valley: "Fuck!"
Moving last night took a lot of effort from Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao , thoughtful Directly cut the plastic sheet and moisture-proof mat under the mattress and the main body. Fang Wenyu showed the girl the light and went to a lawn upstream to lay a new camp. Yang He and Mu Ruyun dismantled the tarpaulin above, and everyone agreed in a tacit understanding. Cooperate with the collective efforts.
The mosquito-proof smoke stacks will also need to be rearranged later.
Although the girls pushed each other and I pushed you when they were asked to express their opinions, they also did it with great enthusiasm.
When everyone lay down again, they were all laughing.
Then everyone began to predict how Wei Fei would react when he woke up the next morning. They were excited for a while before falling asleep, and they still haven't gotten up yet.
Wei Fei slept in a daze in the morning. He opened his eyes and looked at them, then closed them again, preparing to stare for a while longer.
But after closing his eyes, the logical subconscious of the engineer dog kept reminding him that something was wrong... something was wrong... something was wrong...
Suddenly he reacted and just opened his eyes. What I see is the sky. Where is the tarpaulin above?
I was so startled that I woke up completely. When I sat up, I realized that I was sleeping alone on the grass!
I rolled up and stood up. Damn it, why is the camp ten meters upstream of me? !
He ran to the new camp and grabbed Yan Xiao's collar: "Why are you here?"
Yan Xiao still kept talking in a daze: "We have been sleeping the whole time. Here... don't ask me to sleep for a while..."
"Impossible, then why should I sleep down there alone?"
"I don't know...you got up alone in the middle of the night and said you wanted to sleep down there, but you can't even pull your elbow to hold it back..."
Wei Fei threw Yan Xiao away and pulled his elbow up again: "Elbow! What? What's going on?"
Zhou Zhi was also confused: "You are sleepwalking, right? Big dream..."
"Impossible! We were lying together last night!"
Yang and the honest boy were still lying together, murmuring: "That was also a dream, you. Did you still dream that the Salt Rat told a ghost story and then got beaten..."
Everyone had actually woken up when Wei Fei came over to pull Yan Xiao away. Now that he had broken the skill, he couldn't pretend anymore and laughed together.
"You!" Wei Fei felt so sad and angry: "It's not too much trouble!"
Yan Xiao laughed so much that she rolled on the mat: "You snore so loudly! You made everyone fall asleep. No, it’s hard to wake you up. We have to move.”
“Did I snore last night?”
Mu Ruyun smiled and said: "Airplane, you should be happy."
"Why?"
"Because you slept until dawn and didn't wake up in the middle of the night..."
"Holy shit..."
"Hahahaha..."
……
……
After washing up, it’s breakfast, luncheon meat, omelette, potatoes and corn.
Then everyone continued their journey and headed upstream along the mountain stream.
The mountain flowers are romantic along the way, and the flowing water is flowing. As long as you stop and squat down for a while, you can find many animals in the stream, including small crabs, shrimps, and various streams that you have never seen before. fish.
Those fish are very small, and many of them are very beautiful, such as sand loach, rainbow loach, small rock crawler, golden catfish, peach blossom... There is also a beautiful little fish that looks like a giant catfish but with black stripes on its body. You can't even call it that. As for the name, Lao Mu called it "Five Dao Pomfret".
There are some egrets living in bamboo forests in many places.
On the high rocks, pay attention, you will often see a cliff eagle standing there, watching everyone with proud eyes.
Wei Fei also found a squirrel head on the road. The cut under the head was still fresh. Everyone watched for a while and agreed that it was leftover from the Cliff Eagle.
There are also many mountain fruits, sheep dung rice, mugwort seedlings, wild sweet potatoes...
Several wild lilies were in bloom. Yan Xiao picked them and gave them to some girls. Zhou Zhi said the lilies were edible, but the classmates didn't believe them.
So Zhou Zhi used his boss's strength to dig out the lily roots from the cracks in the rock. It turned out that they were really inedible and too small.
There are too many ferns. Under the cedar forest and close to the road, ferns grow extremely luxuriantly.
Jiachuan is the kingdom of ferns. There are several types of edible ferns, one of which is fat and tender and is originally a specialty here.
There are also wild peas. Plucking the beans inside can make a small whistle that can be blown.
Gradually, a flower crown appeared on the girls' heads, which Zhou Zhi had woven for them from young eucalyptus slivers, rhododendron and Lycoris flowers.
The boys also have an extra crown of eucalyptus leaves on their heads, and each of them has a bamboo stick in their hand, so they have to hit each other a few times.
The bamboo stick was created after two snakes were discovered, one was a cauliflower snake and the other was a black-tailed snake.
The appearance of the first black-tipped snake scared Feng Xueshan to death, but by the time the boys rushed over, the snake had already walked away.
The second one was quite fat. Mu Ruyun said it was edible, but Zhou Zhi said there were too many reptile parasites, and they didn’t have the leisure and leisure to simmer the soup slowly. Finally, it was released amidst the screams of the girls. dropped. When setting up camp that afternoon, Mu Ruyun found a hilly place, away from the big stream at the bottom of the mountain, and climbed up the mountain along a small stream that merged into it, and came to the old open dam next to the foundation of an old house with mud walls in the middle of the mountain. .
The households here moved away in an unknown year and month, leaving only a few mud walls in the house. However, there are several very old fruit trees around the open dam and behind the mud walls.
……
“There, there!” Jiang Shuyi raised her head under the tree and showed Zhou Zhi where the ripe plums were.
The same thing is happening under a few old fruit trees.
Only natives like Lao Mu can find such a place.
In addition to plums, there are also peaches and bayberries.
Zhou Zhi cut down a few suitable bamboos, tied the lower part of one end of the bamboo with a rattan, cut the upper part, inserted a section of branches to let it open, and made a "fruit picking pole".
The boys climbed up the tree, and the girls pointed under the tree. Then the boy stretched the pole, clamped the branch where the fruit was, and disturbed it, and the ripe plums fell down.
There are many varieties of plums, there are two types here, one is green, the ripe ones will turn yellow; the other is red, the flesh inside is yellow.
Wei Fei didn't go up the tree either. He picked up fruits with the girls under the tree. After picking them up, he wiped them with his hands before putting them in his mouth.
"You don't care about hygiene on the plane! Don't you even wash it?" Jiang Shuyi is now familiar with the friends and can speak relatively comfortably.
"It's quite clean. There's not much dust here." Wei Fei held a yellow plum in his hand and handed it to Jiang Shuyi: "It's ripe and so sweet."
Jiang Shuyi took the plums and put them into the small pot: "Later Let's all eat together."
Yan Xiao is very tall and very flexible. He is like a gibbon on the white peach tree. He stretches out a bamboo pole to clamp a peach handle and shouts below: "Be careful, come on. Yeah——”
"Wait a minute..." Ye Xin, Feng Xueshan, Zhang Xinyi, and He Yongmei held a piece of plastic sheet under the tree to adjust their position: "Okay!"
Yan Xiao has an impatient temper, and just a few peaches fell off the tree It was broken, but it was still the most mature kind of white peach, which made Wei Fei cry out that it was a pity.
Now the girls have come up with this way to protect the peaches under the tree.
Several peaches fell from the branches one after another, and fell into the plastic cloth one by one, making the girls cheer.
It was a bumper harvest, and soon there were more than a dozen peaches, plums and wild bayberries piled on the small plastic sheet in front of the camp.
Everyone went to wash in the creek behind the house, while Zhou Zhi and Feng Xueshan started cooking.
In addition to fruit trees, there are also some scattered vegetables here. Zhou Zhi found a pumpkin. In addition to a few small pumpkins, pumpkin tips and pumpkin flowers can be eaten.
The same goes for loofah. Although loofah is basically old, the leaf tip is also a good vegetable.
There is also the blood-skin vegetable that must be found in front of Jiachuan Farmhouse. It grows very lushly. When one-third of the buds are pinched off, there are huge piles of leaves.
Today’s cooking is more detailed. After the rice is ready, stir it up with chopsticks and spread it out to let some of the water vapor escape. Use canned anchovies, lard, and wild onion knots to make fried rice.
The wok was occupied by Zhou Zhi, and the rice pot was used by Feng Xueshan to scald the vegetables and make cold salad.
When the fried rice is ready, the rice pot is freed up again. She pours the fried rice into the rice pot and frees up the wok. Feng Xueshan makes stir-fried melon leaf tips, pumpkin flowers, and stir-fried tender pumpkin.
The tacit cooperation is still invincible.
When the meal is ready, everyone eats under the shade of the thick trees.
This meal was very filling and everyone enjoyed it very much. They all thought that fried rice was the most suitable for a picnic and asked Zhou Zhi to continue it in the evening.
"Then let's make fried rice with eggs tonight." Feng Xueshan said with a smile: "Mix in some bracken and make a pickled cabbage soup."
"To remove the fishy smell from the pickled cabbage soup, you can also add mountain crabs."
"Then after dinner , let’s go catch crabs in the creek!”
The creek on the mountain is a little different from the one at the bottom. Some places are like small waterfalls. The color of the crabs is also a little different. The back is iron red and the size is small. Much bigger.
But the force was too strong, and being pinched was not an ordinary pain. After Fang Wenyu's finger was pinched and bled due to his unskilled work, no one among the girls except Ye Xin dared to touch the stone.
In fact, there are not many crabs hidden under the rocks. Those crabs are out for travel. The rock crevices by the water on both sides of the creek are their real home.
But even Yan Xiao didn't dare to make a move for fear of touching a snake. Those places were the hunting grounds of Yang He, Mu Ruyun, Zhou Zhi and Ye Xin.
Fang Wenyu also gave up after being trapped, and together with Yan Xiao, he took the girls to play with small crabs in the middle of the stream.
Jiang Shuyi told everyone that if you hit the rocks in the stream with stones, the fish underneath may be stunned. If you turn over the rocks, they will flow out and you can catch them downstream.
Neither Yan Xiao nor Fang Wenyu believed it, but they did not stop them from giving it a try. After smashing it twice, a small crucian carp came out of the water.
"Shu Yi, you still have this hand?" Fang Wenyu found it unbelievable.
Jiang Shuyi just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Is there another one here?" Zhou Zhi immediately noticed the species of the fish: "Old Mu, are there fields around?"
These mountain streams are generally filled with stream fish, and crucian carp belongs to When raising fish in the middle of the mountain, apart from rivers and streams, the mountains generally have to have the most fields and reservoirs, otherwise they won’t be able to find spawning grounds.
"There is no field..." Mu Ruyun recalled: "It seems to be a half-dry fish pond. The farmers there used to prevent drought..."
"Holy shit, what are we still playing here?" Zhou Zhi immediately said: "Go there!"
