Grandma's persuasion worked as expected. Gu Se stopped crying. After hugging Grandma for a while, she felt relieved. She raised her head and smiled at Sun Laizi.

"How about we go out for a walk, see the place where you grew up, and take a breather?"

Sun Laizi said.

"Um!"

Gu Se nodded immediately. At this time, Sun Laizi's attitude was very important, and the explanation was not beautiful. The best way was to be willing to continue to be with her, to show up, and to use actions to clarify his feelings.

"When you go out, remember to bring a few extra packs of cigarettes. There are many acquaintances in the village. When you see an elderly person, just light up a cigarette."

Gu Se's father was relieved and reminded Sun Laizi that in small places, it is etiquette for men to go out and smoke when meeting. Especially in the relationship between Sun Laizi and Gu Se, the goodwill exchanged for a cigarette may be a lot less.

Even if they make sarcastic remarks, everyone will be more polite in private. Even because they have a good impression, the villagers will try their best to favor them in this matter.

So don’t underestimate a cigarette. Sometimes a small favor can go a long way.

Gu Se, whose makeup was stained because of crying, said she wanted to go out immediately. She washed her face and put on makeup again. It took half an hour before she and Sun Laizi went out.

Their village was originally on the edge of a ravine. A generation ago, many of the people here actually lived in cave dwellings dug into the mountains. Later, everyone's living conditions improved, and with the country's good policies and some money from the country, every household started to build them together.

I moved to a residential area and moved to a residential area.

This led to a lot of memories. In fact, they were all near the cave dwelling on the edge of the mountain. The two of them were walking together. Sun Laizi met the person. Gu Se introduced his identity and title. Sun Laizi scattered cigarettes and scattered a pack and a half of Huazi along the way.

, and then walked to the edge of the mountain.

There is very flat land near the residential areas, but when you get to the edge of the ravine, you will find that it is not really flat. It is just that the older generation has worked hard to flatten a large area of ​​land.

Standing on the side of the mountain, you can see the endless mountains, which seem to be endless. There are cave dwellings everywhere on the side of the mountain. The hard-working farmers used their hands to dig large pits facing the mountain on the side of the mountain, and then dug holes in them.

A cave dwelling was built in the pit, and the yard was very large. The excavated soil happened to be extended out to fill some distance. Some people even filled in some places for themselves to run the vegetable basket for the whole family.

It's just that no one has lived in the cave dwellings now, and the yards are basically abandoned. Only a few people are reluctant to part with the land in the yards and will come back to plant some vegetables and so on.

"This apricot tree fell from it when I was a child! The apricots are big and sour, but I just like to eat them. Others can't eat them, so they all belong to me!"

"This is a papaya tree. This papaya is not a fruit papaya, as our locals call it. I don't know what its scientific name is. Anyway, it will produce fruits as big as a fist. When broken open, there are seeds like corn kernels inside.

Before the seeds develop to full maturity, they taste sweet and delicious, but when they are fully mature, they don’t taste good!”

"You see, this is called Jerusalem artichoke. The flowers are a bit like sunflowers, but much smaller. The roots are eaten. You can pickle them and eat them in the winter. They are very crispy and are a perfect match for porridge!"

…

Gu Se and Sun Laizi came to the place that Gu Se remembered. Gu Se happily introduced various local plants to Sun Laizi, of course, mainly edible things.

Sun Laizi listened with gusto. In fact, he also had some things there. After all, everyone's climate was not very different. However, Sun Laizi still listened patiently and acted as a good listener, allowing Gu Se to speak freely. In this way, he was in a good mood.

It can get better.

"Look at this! You can't touch this with your hands, and you can't eat it. This thing is very scary. Many of us cried more than once when we were children because of this plant!"

Patina suddenly looks

When I saw a lush green plant, I happily ran to it and pointed it to Sun Laizi and said.

"You smile so happily, you must have an interesting story, right?"

Sun Laizi asked with a smile.

"Well, our locals call this thing xuanma. The word xuan represents our respect and fear of this thing, because this plant can bite people!"

Gu Se nodded and then said.

"Bite? Is this terrible? Where is the mouth?"

Sun Laizi looked around the lush grass in surprise. It didn't look very different from ordinary grass. He really couldn't tell where the mouth was and how it was used to bite people.

"Listen to me and tell you slowly. This kind of plant cannot be directly touched with the skin. Once it is touched, it will cause a severe pain. When children play, they often touch it accidentally.

It made me cry in pain! I didn’t know it at the time, but the older child tricked me into grabbing the leaves with both hands. I also cried in pain!”

Gu Se pointed at the plant and said that the bite she was talking about turned out to be an alternative word that the locals understood to mean harm.

"Can you cry in pain?"

Sun Laizi became even more curious. He wanted to grab a handful and try it himself, but he was afraid that it would be embarrassing if he cried in pain, because he was afraid that this thing was toxic. If it was a neurotoxin, there would be nothing he could do if he couldn't handle it.

.

"Yes, the children here basically have to suffer losses when they were young to develop their memories. It was the first time I encountered it. After I cried in pain, some naughty older children lied to me and said that if they smeared the snot on their noses, they would be fine.

It hurt! I actually believed it at the time. Fortunately, I cried in pain and it was my own nose that was smeared!"

Gu Se nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly.

"..."

Sun Laizi felt that the older boy was really bad. He dared to say anything. This was the first time in Sun Laizi's life that he heard that there was a way to use nasal mucus to relieve pain!

"Isn't it silly? But for children who are crying in pain, it is impossible for children in rural areas to go to their parents. They can only think of their own solutions. Everyone will think of their own solutions. There is no other way but to listen to other people's solutions."

Gu Se smiled and said that her cheerful and somewhat independent character may have been shaped by her experiences at that time, which made her not have the pretentious princess disease that many women have nowadays.

"You're not stupid. If you said you were lying on the ground in pain, crying and waiting for your parents to come help you, or running home, I think it would have lost the fun!"

Sun Laizi shook his head. In fact, he was also a very independent person. After all, all his relatives were dead and he could only rely on himself.

"Well, do you want to try how painful this thing is?"

After Gu Se finished the introduction, he pointed at the plants and said to Sun Laizi.

"try it!"

Sun Laizi finally decided to give it a try. He stretched out a finger and tapped on the leaves and then on the stems of the plant.

Soon Sun Laizi felt the pain that Gu Se said, as if his fingertips were pierced by countless needles. The pain was indeed relatively strong. Children might not be able to bear it, but Sun Laizi could.

It's just uncomfortable.

He slowly stretched out his fingers in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then discovered the reason. It turned out that this plant was covered with extremely small thorns, but the thorns should be very hard, and maybe the plant itself

Carrying some toxins can amplify people's pain.

So when Sun Laizi was first stabbed, he didn't feel much. Later, he felt more and more pain. It should be the effect of the toxin.

This may also be a method that this plant has evolved to protect itself. Once other things come into contact with it once or twice, they will not be willing to come close, and this plant can protect itself.

"How about it?"

Gu Se asked Sun Laizi more curiously.

"I don't feel it.

!Did you admit your mistake?"

Sun Laizi asked with an expression of indifference.

"No way! We haven't seen each other for a few years, how could I admit my mistake!"

Gu Se said in surprise. While speaking, he subconsciously reached out and touched it.

Then Gu Se quickly stared at Sun Laizi and stopped talking, because her hands were burning with pain, but she could bear it. Now she has a super tolerance for pain, but she has not lost her sense of pain, so she knew that she had been tricked by Sun Laizi.

.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Laizi turned around and ran away!

"Asshole!"

Gu Se picked up a piece of junk on the ground and turned around to chase it.

Sun Laizi ran for hundreds of meters. When he turned around and saw Gu Se, he stopped chasing and squatted on the ground as if studying something.

"What are you looking at?"

Sun Laizi turned around and walked back. When he was five or six meters away, he stopped and asked curiously.

"I saw a wild vegetable that I often ate when I was a kid. When I dug out the rhizome, there were small lumps like sweet potatoes. After being cleaned and chewed, it was very spicy and delicious!"

The bricks in Gu Se's hands were gone, and his hands were empty. He pointed at a plant on the ground and said.

"Is there such a thing? Dig it out and try?"

Sun Laizi believed it, walked forward and said.

"This is a place where wheat was ground in the past. Stones were rolled continuously every year. The ground was so hard that it couldn't be dug out without tools!"

Gu Se shook his head and said, but his eyes seemed to be looking forward to this little delicacy.

"Hard? It's easy to handle if it's hard, it's up to me!"

After hearing this, Sun Laizi smiled, walked over and squatted in front of Gu Se, and pulled away the grass leaves on the ground. He looked at the ground and saw that the ground was really hard and the plants were really powerful. They could grow from such a place.

.

Sun Laizi clenched his fists, channeled his internal strength, and punched the edge of the plant with a fierce punch.

boom!

Gu Se looked at Sun Laizi's fist in surprise, because this guy punched the hard ground and made a small crater. The shape of the fist could be clearly seen, and many cracks extended out in all directions on the ground.
