Chapter 31 Chen Ningya wants to enter the mountain
The next day, when it was lightly dawn, the fragrance of Wen's family was already filled with yards. Wen Youshan rubbed his sleepy eyes and took a look. He saw Chen Ningya dressed in well and was working on the stove. "Madam, how early are you? Why are you eating so fragrant in the morning?"
As he said that, he scooped out a scoop of water from the water tank to rinse his mouth.
He was not so particular before. Since Chen Ningya recovered her memory, she forced the whole family to rinse their mouths when they woke up early. If it weren't for the lack of conditions at home, she would have asked the whole family to brush their teeth long ago.
"It's the big bone you brought back yesterday. I'll waste that thing not cooking. I just smashed it and made soup. I started cooking it last night. The taste was all out. Add some rice to make porridge. It's better than rice soup." Chen Ningya said without looking back. While speaking, she put some wild vegetables into the pot and looked deep into the mountains. After a while, she turned her head and looked at Wen Youshan. "I decided to go into the mountains with you today."
"Cough cough cough..." Wen Youshan coughed violently by the water. After a heart-wrenching moment, he said in horror: "No, no, no, no, the road in the mountains has not been completed yet. I don't care about you even if I go into the mountains to work. What if I bump into it or get bitten by a bug?"
Chen Ningya rolled her eyes angrily, "Whoever wants you to take care of me, I can take care of myself. Don't worry, I'm near you and won't go far."
She must enter the mountain today. She hid in the deep mountains for several years in her previous life. No one knows this endless mountain range better than her. She naturally won't let it go when she can enter the mountain to get food.
Wen Youshan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was afraid that he would anger Chen Ningya, so he almost pulled her hair away from scratching her head.
Chen Ningya, no matter what he thought, made the breakfast quickly, went to the yard and shouted, and the children came out one after another.
While having dinner, Wen Yuanzhen looked at Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya strangely, "Dad, have you quarreled?"
"That's great if there is a quarrel!" Wen Youshan glanced at Chen Ningya resentfully like an angry little wife. Chen Ningya was unmoved and quickly put down the dishes and told several children: "Today, your father and I are going to go into the mountain. No one can watch at home. Yuanliang, you are the eldest brother, and I will leave it to you. Look at them, and shout if you have any questions, Grandma Sun and the others can hear it."
Wen Yuanliang originally thought that he would go to the field today, but when he heard this, he could only nod his head obediently. Since he was so slandered by Huang Meng last time, he was quite afraid that no one at home would come to him.
Seeing that he was so good, Chen Ningya said, "You stay at home, mom promises to bring you good things back today."
Good thing! The children's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded in a hurry.
Wen Youshan was still sighing until he left the house and muttered in a low voice: "Madam, you have never been to the mountains. There are nothing on the hills that everyone often goes to, and you can only see pheasants and hares occasionally. But I definitely don't have time to catch them today. The mountains are full of dangers. Even I don't know what's inside. How can you guarantee that there are good things to the children? If there is nothing, let's take what to do to deal with them?"
Wen Youshan doesn’t understand the great truth, but he knows that being a human being should be trustworthy, and he can’t make promises to his children casually.
Chen Ningya frowned and looked at Wen Youshan deeply, "I think the words you said today add up to more than in the past few years."
"What does it mean?" Wen Youshan couldn't recover.
"Looking!" Chen Ningya walked past him and left the back of Wen Youshan's head.
Wen Youshan didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he quickly followed Chen Ningya and pointed her way from time to time. Chen Ningya couldn't stand it halfway, "I said, stay wherever you are cool, don't look at her dizzy, I can do it myself!"
Wen Youshan shook his head with mission and became completely honest.
The two of them crossed a mountain. Chen Ningya watched the road ahead stop, "You just have to build here, right? Go and do it. I'll take a look around, it's okay."
"Are you sure?" Wen Youshan looked at Chen Ningya suspiciously. At first, he had no idea. When he walked here, he found that Chen Ningya not only had no discomfort, but also felt like a fish in water. He knew better than him wherever he could go. Could this be the difference between smart people and ordinary people? Wen Youshan said that he was in a mess. He originally thought that he would be a bodyguard for Chen Ningya this day, but now it seems that his existence seems to be a bit redundant.
Chen Ningya focused her head, her eyes kept looking at the surrounding environment, and before Wen Youshan turned around, she knocked on the bamboo pole and started looking for something.
Wen Youshan smiled helplessly twice, and then went to work.
Chen Ningya avoided Wen Youshan's vision and became quicker. There were snakes and insects in the mountains. She had thick antiworming medicine on her body, shoe covers were tied on her legs, a straw cover on her upper body, and a straw hat on her head. She could be said to be fully armed. As long as she didn't encounter a beast, she could still deal with it. The biggest beasts in the mountains were wild boars and blind bears. It is not common for blind bears. At least she had not seen them in her previous life for several years. She only heard sounds from afar. There were many wild boars. She had encountered them before, and she had experience and knew how to deal with them.
According to her memory from her previous life, she touched the nearby stream, which was not far from the place where Wenyoushan opened the road. She could hear it after shouting twice. While Wenyoushan was not looking for her, Chen Ningya hurriedly searched along both sides of the stream.
The stream is extremely narrow, about two or three meters wide, with gurgling stream water. The deepest place is estimated to reach the knees of adults. Standing on the shore, you can still see the small fish swimming and crawling crawfish. Crawfish is not common, and you can occasionally find it in the deep mountains and forests. It is hard to find it. Chen Ningya grinned and moved the stones to intercept the stream surface in the narrow part of the stream, leaving only a flowing water outlet, and placed a basket under the exit. Then, use a bamboo pole to drive the crawfish upstream. This makes you more or less rewarding.
After playing with Aoxia for a while, Chen Ningya remembered that she had not done her job yet. She quickly continued to search and left for about half an hour, and finally found her today's goal - taro.
"Records of the Grand Historian" records: "Under the Min Mountains, there are squatting tills in the wild, and they will not be hungry until they die. They are filled with taro. Because the taro is like squatting tills."
Taro is a good belly-covered food, but it is not a specialty of Dizhou. The court did not order promotion. In addition, the transportation is inconvenient and the news is blocked. Most people in Qing'an County probably only heard of taro but never really eaten, let alone seen it.
