Chapter 47: Mountain Acorn, Monkey Head, Pointed Chestnut

Song Wen tied the rabbit, put it in his backpack, and then continued to open the way.

The more you go in, the denser the forests are, and the more weeds and shrubs are in the forest. The light during the day is gradually covered by layers of trees and trees, making the forest look darker and darker.

The cold air was already moving south, and it rained lightly last night, causing the dark forest to become a little cold.

But Song Wen was strangely aware that he couldn't feel a little cold. He felt a little hot after walking for a while. He didn't feel strange in his heart, thinking to himself that it was the result of drinking snake wine yesterday? That's too amazing.

He was a little confused and turned to Song Hu who had the snake wine and asked, "Ahu, have you drunk the snake wine?"

"what?"

"How does it feel after drinking?"

After hearing Song Wen's words, Song Hu seemed to have thought of something and started to dance.

After a while, he said with a strange expression: "The effect is good."

Looking at his **, Song Wen also knew what the effect was. It didn't seem much the same as the effect of drinking snake wine. It was really strange. After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of it, so I stopped thinking about it.

At this time, it is late autumn.

There have been several heavy snowfalls in the north. At first glance, everything is depressed and vast.

Only in southern areas like Nanzhou, after a light rain, the grass underground was moistened by rain and popped up again, as if spring was coming.

Song Wen, Song Hu, and the short brother took turns to move forward, leaping through the woods, crossing the streams, walking through the stones, crossing the mountains, and walking forward with difficulty.

This time they just wanted to pick the pointed head, and the others were not in their plan. However, Song Wen had some ideas and wanted to pick some mountain delicacies and go back.

The pointed one is a cone chestnut, also known as a pearl chestnut. In a canyon in the deep mountains, there were only a few trees, but later it gradually developed into a piece.

People nowadays live a good life, and most of them are too lazy to go up the mountain. In addition, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and there are many wild animals, snakes and insects in the mountain, so few people go there to pick up chestnuts. Last time, Song Hu saw the short man picking up half a bag of chestnuts, and was so envious that when the short man went in, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back.

Especially now when wild animals in the mountains are foraging for food and spend the long winter, if you are not careful, you may not get the things in the mountains and become the winter food for those animals.

Song Wen used to often go to the mountains and forests to pick wild fruits, but he hadn't come for too long. Everything that was familiar was covered by the growing plants and trees. The environment he knew was beyond recognition, which made him unable to recognize the road, so he had to rely on the short brother, the old bird who often walked in the mountains and forests to guide him forward.

There were many old vines with thick wrists in the woods. When Song Wen saw them, he wondered if he should find time to cut some vines and go back to make chairs.

The mountain vines are flexible. After drying, the vines are hard but very soft. They are made into rattan chairs and feel soft. They are as comfortable as the chairs with a cushion, but they are breathable than the cushioned ones.

After walking through another mountain ridge, Song Wen suddenly saw a forest of oak trees in the valley ahead, and fruits as big as lotus seeds were born on the trees.

Oak trees are also called oaks or oaks, and the fruits they produce are called acorns, which taste bitter.

However, if you take it back for cooking, remove the water when boiling the first time, add some rock sugar to the second time, and taste delicious. However, if you eat too much of this thing, you will feel constipated like guava, but it doesn’t matter. Everything is incompatible. Just eat some bananas to moisten the intestines.

Perhaps the acorns taste bad, and the piles of acorns under the oak tree were not harmed by wild beasts in the mountains. They lay there quietly, densely packed.

After seeing it, Song Wen took out the snakeskin bag and ran over.

"Awen, don't pick it up anymore. That thing is not delicious. Let's go and make a pointed one!" Song Hu looked at it and shouted from behind.

"I'll pick up some and leave."

Seeing him like this, Song Hu and the short man looked at each other, and there was no way, so they had to come forward to help pick it up.

When the underground acorns were almost picked up, Song Wen actually ran to the tree and shook it.

The mature acorns suddenly fell like rain, smashing Song Hu and the short brother to run wildly. Song Hu was so angry that he cursed, but Song Wen laughed heartlessly there.

After finally picking up the acorns, the three of them leaned on the oak tree and rested weakly.

"The waist is broken." Song Hu muttered as he knocked his hands on his waist.

It was almost noon, and the three of them took out their things and started eating.

Everyone had already agreed to bring the meal by themselves and make some money and wait until the evening to make it richer.

The short guy brought it to eat lard bibimbap, and Song Hu was almost the same, but there were a few more pieces of braised meat.

As for Song Wen, when cooking porridge in the morning, he also took the opportunity to grab a bowl of dry rice, so he could take it for lunch, but the dishes were much richer than the two of them. He took all the braised food he bought from Nanzhou the day before yesterday, including roast duck, baked meat, duck wings, duck sausages, and five-spice. Song Hu's eyes were almost green. He didn't know that Song Wen also brought bacon and red sausages in his backpack, otherwise he would have to steal him.

"You're welcome, come on." Song Wen greeted the two of them.

Even if he didn't say it, Song Hu planned to take action. He picked up a roast goose leg and started eating. The short man was not polite and followed Song Hu and picked it up.

After a while, a pile of braised food was eaten clean by the three of them.

After dinner, Song Wen took out a pack of things from his backpack, which were the fried bamboo worms left over from yesterday.

"Where did it come from?" Song Hu looked at it, his eyes almost glaring. He didn't expect that Song Wen had brought so many good things.

"I went to the bamboo forest yesterday to catch it."

“It’s not fried yet delicious.”

Song Hu grabbed some and threw them into his mouth, chewed them a few times and said.

"If you have something to eat, you can eat it, and you will still hate it." Song Wen said angrily, and turned around to invite the short man to eat it.

The short man was not polite, so he ate it with a squeezing it and said, "This thing is actually the same as the bee pupa."

"No, it's almost the same." Song Hu nodded.

"It's all protein inside, of course it's about the same."

After dinner, I took a break.

Several people patted their butts and got up and were about to continue on the road. Suddenly, Song Hu saw a white thing lying on the tree on one side, and couldn't help but point at Song Wen and the short brother and asked, "Look, what's on the tree?"

When Song Wen and the short man heard this, they turned their heads and looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a white furry thing lying on the oak tree, not knowing what it was.

Song Wen was brave enough to walk over with a branch carefully. Seeing that the thing was motionless, he picked up the branch and pushed it gently. When he found that there was no response, he boldly pushed it hard, and the thing was suddenly pushed to the ground. Several people leaned over and took a closer look, but found that it was a kind of mushroom.

"Can this be eaten?" Song Hu looked at it and said.

"Who knows."

Song Wen picked a leaf and wrapped it with the white hair and picked it up to see it. Suddenly a fragrance wafted into his nose, a bit like a mushroom, but not very similar. After a closer look, he found that the thing seemed to be a monkey head mushroom, so he told Song Hu and the short man what he thought.

"Monkey erectus, isn't it possible? How could this thing be available in our place?" Song Hu said in disbelief.

"Have you heard of leopards here?" Song Wen asked.

He was talking about the incident of a leopard coming down from the forest two years ago and running to the village to steal chickens and ducks. The guy was later taken away by the Forestry Bureau. I don’t know where he went?

If no one saw it at that time, the villagers might not have known that there were leopards in the mountains?

"This is different." Song Hu said.

"Why are the difference?"

"This leopard has been there before, but it was not common later. But there are monkey erectus mushrooms in this mountain, but I have never heard of it."

"I haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean I haven't."

Seeing that Song Hu wanted to say something else, Song Wen waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry about these first, and then look for it if there is any."

After a while, a few people found more than a dozen more in the woods.

Perhaps because no one came to this place and no harm to the animals in the mountains, Song Wen actually found a dried monkey head mushroom the size of a basketball, which made him so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

"This thing smells so fragrant, it must be delicious." Song Wen said to the monkey head mushrooms placed all over the floor.

"Can you eat this? Don't get poisoned and something big happens." Song Hu said.

"I think last time Awen, you had diarrhea, was caused by eating randomly, so don't eat randomly, be careful of being poisoned. When I was in Chuntou, some people's sheep in the village died of wild mushrooms in the field." The short man also persuaded him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid and can't eat it casually. After cooking, you have to let the chickens and ducks taste it first to try it if it's poisonous."

"That's right, I didn't expect your head to work well?" Song Hu praised.

Why is Song Wen not a good thing to hear this sentence?

After looking at the monkey head mushroom on the ground, he wanted to separate from Song Hu and the short man, but the two shook their heads repeatedly, as if they were afraid that the inexplicable monkey head mushroom would be poisonous. Seeing that they didn't want it, Song Wen took out a bag and put it in his backpack. Then, while the two of them were not paying attention, they turned into Ruyi fan.

Just now, I picked up three large bags of acorns. Because I had to rush the mountain road and it was difficult to bring them, Song Wen decided to hide these acorns in the forest first.

So he took it to the forest to hide it. In fact, he put it in the space of Ruyi Fan while the short brother and Song Hu were not paying attention.

After putting it down, continue walking forward. The more you go forward, the harder the road is. Not only does it mean that there are a lot of dead branches and leaves, but sometimes you have to climb through cracks in the stone before you can continue moving forward.

Finally, after walking through a jungle full of decay, the three of them finally arrived at their destination, the Cone Chest Forest.

The Cone Chest Forest is located in a small canyon.

The cones in the canyon are tall and short, and the shortest ones are obviously new seedlings, only two or three meters high; the tall ones are more than ten, twenty or even thirty meters high.

The fruits of the cone chestnut tree are full of fruits, and the ground is filled with ripe cone chestnuts.

When the few people saw it, they took out the bag and picked it up on the ground. When they came, they had already said that no matter how many they picked up, whoever picked up more would be divided equally.

After picking it up for a while, Song Wen saw that the cones on the ground had almost finished picking up, so he climbed up the tree and shook it.

The mature cone chestnut fell from the tree. Fortunately, Song Hu and the short man ran away quickly when they saw the opportunity, otherwise they would have to be smashed by the thorny cone chestnut shells. The mature cone chestnut fell, but some of them were still hanging on the branches. Song Wen cut down a long branch and knocked it on the tree. After knocking, he came down to pick it up together.

In just a short while, the three of them picked up four large bags, but most of them were shelled. If they were shelled, half of the pointed ends left inside would be almost the same.

After picking it up for a while, the three of them stopped.

The short guy often comes here to catch wild bees and so on, so there is a nest here. Song Hu and Song Wen put the chestnut on his back and walked towards his nest under the guidance of the short guy.
