Chapter 19 Mountain Walk

"Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao, look, this is the old shoulder pole I grabbed behind your yard. Look how big and how long it is." The hairy child ran to Liu Junhao, who was dozing under the tree, as if he was seeking credit, and handed over the green grasshopper in his hand.

"Well, it's so big. Take it to feed the old turtle. This thing is not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth." Liu Junhao said impatiently. This naughty child is almost a must-visit every day. He either takes birds in his yard or catches crickets in the grass. He makes a lot of noise. Every time he eats, his mother pulls his ears back.

Since that heavy rain, the water from the Huotou Pond has spread everywhere in the yard, and the vegetable field has saved Liu Junhao from watering.

But before he could get excited, the grass in his backyard grew madly like fertilizer. The crickets, grasshoppers and other insects were all big. A few days ago, a green worm fell from the poplar tree, as thick as a little finger, which made him stunned.

However, in this way, there were more birds on the tree in Liu Junhao's family. The birds were full of trouble and chirping on the trees early in the morning.

Looking at the weeds all over the yard, he also had a headache, wondering if he was raising a sheep, so that he would save himself much trouble.

He did it as soon as he said that, and there was a family in the village who had half a big lamb to be sold. Liu Junhao paid 200 yuan to buy one, and then threw it in the backyard without paying attention. He asked Xiaopi to watch it and don't let it run to the front yard to eat vegetables.

Even the half-large rabbits were scattered out. The little thing just opened his eyes and saw people. In addition, the hairy children often snatched grass and fed them, so they were not afraid of people. After they were released, they kept running around in the yard.

Xiaopi didn't know whether it was because she ate the vegetables nourished by the spring water or what was going on. She became smarter and could understand her intentions in many things. The people who came to Liu Junhao's house to visit her kept praising her. She was so proud that she could feed her dogs.

The eels in the spring water grew bigger and bigger, and even began to produce many small eels. Before these small eels grew older, many other eels had bitten them to death. He knew that this was the phenomenon of eels biting each other's food in the absence of food, which made Liu Junhao feel very distressed.

The range of spring water is so large, and there are more and more eels. It is not a solution to continue like this. He had no choice but to dig a few long ditches in the yard, fish out all the larger ones and throw them into the pool.

This group of eels nourished by spring water seems to be very aggressive. You can often see eels jumping half a foot high and swallowing the green worms on the hemp leaves into their stomachs.

In order to raise these eels well, he also went to the town bookstore to order a few books on eels and carefully pondered them.

Others are busy cutting wheat and raising wheat these days, but he seems bored, so he simply leads Xiaopi to the mountains. When he goes out, he just happens to meet a hairy child and a few children of average age on the river bank. When he hears that he is going to enter the mountain, he becomes interested and follows Liu Junhao with a stern face.

This is the most lively time of the year, with all kinds of trees growing lushly and wild vines covering the sky and sun.

From the moment they entered the mountain, they did not calm down. They kept grabbing some eggplant on the hillsides of the fields. This thing is a common wild fruit in Daqing Mountain and tastes average. Liu Junhao also ate it often when he was a child, and his mouth was dyed purple and red.

There are many wild fruits in the mountains and there are many things that can be eaten, such as wild chestnuts, wild grapes, wild pears, wild persimmons, wild cherries, etc. At this time, it is almost time to ripen, and you can basically eat them.

Basically all wild fruits in the mountains can be eaten, but it is best not to touch unfamiliar things. Many of them are also poisonous.

However, these naughty children grew up in the mountains, and they can’t eat anything they can eat, so they are all familiar with each other.

Not long after walking, I saw the furry child in front shouting, "Bunny!" Then the group of naughty children rushed out in a flash. Liu Junhao was afraid that something would happen to them, so he hurriedly followed behind.

This group of naughty children became energetic when they saw the rabbit. He couldn't catch up with him even after he ran to a valley. When everyone stopped, they didn't know who called out: "Mountain Grapes" Liu Junhao looked up and stared blankly at the large area of ​​mountain grapes in the valley. This valley was very inconspicuous. This was the first time he arrived, and he didn't expect that there was such a large area of ​​mountain grapes inside.

This is the first time I have seen such a large area of ​​mountain grapes. They have climbed on several big trees, with white frost hanging in strings, shiny. Before he could do it, the group of naughty children had already swarmed up.

The mountain grapes in summer and autumn are already ripe, and they are very sweet. Especially those early-ripening purple grapes, which are big and round. Looking from a distance, they look like bunches of purple agate. Rural people generally praise girls' eyes as beautiful as mountain grapes.

Liu Junhao also became interested and picked a few grapes to taste. They were sweet and sour, and they were a little sweeter than ordinary mountain grapes. Seeing that the group of naughty children were not paying attention, he secretly carried a few people and pulled down the purple mountain grapes one by one, then put them into the stone lock, and he was about to take them back to make wine and drink.

Mountain grapes have extremely high nutritional value, which can aid digestion and prevent constipation. Eating more grapes, drinking grape juice and drinking wine in moderation are very beneficial to human health. Rural women here generally eat mountain grapes before and after childbirth. It is said that they recover quickly and are nourishing.

As soon as I picked up a dozen strings, I heard the hairy child cursing and beating me.

"Oh, who is hitting me in the head!" A group of children kept shouting, and Xiaopi also started to bark at this time.

Liu Junhao looked up and found that it was a group of monkeys squatting on the branches, constantly smashing them down with the pine tower. Seeing Xiaopi screaming, they also started to scream on the top, as if they said that this was their territory and mountain grapes were their treasures.

The movements in the hands of these monkeys were really unambiguous. They kept pulling the fist-sized pine tower and threw them hard on the head, beating several naughty children to run away with their heads in their arms.

Xiaopi stared at her and screamed, but she couldn't climb trees, so she was really powerless.

Liu Junhao accidentally got a pine tree on his head. The pine tower with a fist was so painful that it was so painful that he was also angry. He shouted, grabbed a large piece of stone and threw it at the tree. The group of naughty children also reacted and threw it at the stones one after another.

The people are much more powerful than the monkeys. The group of monkeys squeaked and kept dodging to higher places. Then they continued to throw pine trees on their heads, and the group of naughty children had no choice but to stop until they left the mountain grapes far away. This made Liu Junhao very depressed, but he was helpless.

At this time, Xiaopi suddenly started screaming again, pulled his pants legs to a big tree, and then screamed even more happily.

What's on this tree? Liu Junhao didn't understand the meaning and looked at it. A tree with insect eyes that could barely be hugged by one person was not obvious. Apart from the height of the tree, there was no abnormality. I don't know what Xiaopi called.

The insect-eye bun tree is a unique tree here. In autumn, small black bags will be formed on the trees, soft and empty inside. When you peel them off, you can often see many rice insects inside, so they are called the insect-eye bun tree. This kind of tree has no effect except burning fire. Rural people usually don’t bother to pay attention to it when entering the mountains.

But Xiaopi still kept screaming happily and kept grabbing the tree trunk with her claws.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the trunk? Liu Junhao knocked it in confusion, making a sound, and it seemed that the trunk seemed empty.

He reached out and grabbed it, and had already peeled off a piece of bark.

Suddenly, a mellow fragrance came to his nose, and he saw dark red liquid flowing in the tree hole. What was this thing, and he suddenly became interested and couldn't help but use his fingers to apply it on his mouth.

Wine? This discovery surprised him. It turned out to be wine. He held it a little with his hands and drank it. The taste was very soft, and it felt like it was sliding down his throat. It also had a little hawthorn smell, which was very refreshing.

This...isn't this the legendary Monkey Bar?
