Chapter 259: Up the Mountain
"Wife, you can also change the water shoes.┠┟╟┝Reading 1.┝"
Liu Qingqing changed her clothes and came out. Ye Rongyao handed her the women's water shoes she bought for her when she went to the temple fair last time in the town.
"Um."
Liu Qingqing took the water shoes from Ye Rongyao and replaced them. Liu Qingqing also understood that there was such a thick snow outside, so it was difficult to go up the mountain without wearing water shoes.
“Bring the gloves.”
Ye Rongyao handed Liu Qingqing's gloves to Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing's gloves were pink and looked particularly beautiful.
Helping his woman put on a velvet hat, Ye Rongyao put on a raincoat, holding a basket in one hand and a broom in the other, and walked out of the house with Liu Qingqing.
"It's so cold, so cold."
The parrot "Yingying", which was originally going out with Liu Qingqing, was immediately retracted into the house when the cold wind blew. In such a cold day, even small animals didn't want to go out. ┡╟ I have to read ┝┝book┢
"Yingying, you guys are just watching the house."
Liu Qingqing explained to "Yingying" and "Wenwen". After all, in such a cold day, if these two little guys are frozen, Liu Qingqing will feel distressed.
"Yingying, Wenwen, the housekeeper, Yingying, Wenwen, the housekeeper."
"Yingying" said hiding at the door. These days, not only people are afraid of the cold, but small animals are also afraid of the cold. Every year, I don't know how many small animals there are in the mountains, but I can't survive this cold winter and die.
However, this is the power of nature and no one can change it. Perhaps the four seasons of nature are also a cycle. If spring represents rebirth, then winter represents death.
"Woom"
"Hmph. Want ┡┢┝┟Reading 1.┡"
"Xiaobai" and a few little wild boars saw Ye Rongyao going out and immediately ran over. It was because they wanted to go out with Ye Rongyao and his wife.
"Okay, you guys follow up the mountain."
Ye Rongyao said to these little guys with a smile. Anyway, these little guys can't live at home, and he and Qingqing are not at home. I don't know what these little guys will make the house look like. It's better to take them up the mountain together.
The grave of Ye Rongyao's parents is on the back mountain behind Ye Rongyao's house. The hill in the south of the village is also very large, mainly connected to the mountains of Kuo~Cang~ Mountain, giving people the feeling that it is continuous. There is no other hill from this hill.
When Ye Rongyao’s back mountain was young, Ye Rongyao often ran to the back mountain with a large group of friends to play, catching bird eggs, catching locusts, and catching crickets. Anyway, there is no place in the back mountain, and Ye Rongyao had never played when he was a child.
Especially in spring, Ye Rongyao and other friends will go to the mountains to make mushrooms. If you want to read the book 1ka┠, a wild mushroom grown in nature, tastes very delicious and is completely beyond the comparison of the artificially grown mushrooms on the market today.
There are many mushrooms on the mountain, not all mushrooms can be eaten. Many mushrooms are poisonous, and some are even highly toxic. Once eaten, people will die of food poisoning.
When all children go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, they basically take them with one or several older children. They will teach you step by step which mushrooms can be eaten. Which mushrooms cannot be eaten or even poisonous.
What I remember most in Ye Rongyao's memory was a red mushroom. People in the village called it "Xiaoxiao Mushroom". I heard older children say that after eating this mushroom, people will only smile foolishly.
As for whether this is the case, Ye Rongyao didn’t know. After all, no one in the village picked this kind of mushroom to eat. Everyone in the village knew that this kind of mushroom could not be eaten.
But I heard that a long time ago, someone ate this kind of "Xiaoxiao Mushroom" in the next village, and eventually became a fool, a fool who could only smile foolishly.
So when Ye Rongyao was just a mushroom when he was a child, he had to read books.┟They were very careful. The brightly colored mushrooms basically didn’t even look at them, because eight out of ten or nine out of ten mushrooms are poisonous mushrooms.
However, since he was in junior high school, Ye Rongyao has never been going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. It’s not that Ye Rongyao has not gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Instead, the children in the village have never gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
The main reason is that no one cuts the grass on the mountain, and the grass on the mountain is vigorous, so there is no place to put on the feet, let alone find mushrooms in the grass.
When Ye Rongyao was a child, every household in the village burned soil stoves, which required firewood. The trees on the mountain could not be cut down as firewood, so they could only be cut into grass as firewood.
At that time, the task of the women in the village was to mow the grass. Not only did the grass in their own mountains be cut, but everyone rushed to mow the grass on the roadside and in the valleys.
Sometimes, in order to cut grass from a place, several families have to quarrel. There is no way. The mountain is so big, and each family has to burn firewood. This grass is not enough.
At that time, the roads on the mountain were particularly easy to walk, and even the forests without roads were easy to walk, because except for the trees, the tall grass on the ground was basically cut clean and it was easy to get off anywhere.
However, with the emergence of gas stoves, fewer and fewer people in the village mowed grass and used firewood. Especially ten years ago, basically every household in the village used gas stoves. They usually cooked and cooked, and basically did not burn the earth stoves. Even if they were burned, the dead wood in the mountains in their homes was enough to burn at home.
So no one cuts the dead grass on the mountain. After a few years, the roads on the back mountain were basically submerged by grass. It is difficult for everyone to go up the mountain. Every year before Qingming Festival, many people in the village would go to the mountain to clean up the weeds on the section of the road leading to the graves of their elders, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to get through.
Because these days, people have gone to the back mountain to clear the road. It is easy to walk on the first section of the road. In addition to being a little slippery, Liu Qingqing can barely keep up with Ye Rongyao's footsteps.
But when I reached the hillside, I was covered with snow and could not see the road on the ground. There were several times when Liu Qingqing almost fell down. Fortunately, Ye Rongyao took action to support her in time.

"Wife, you're tired."
Ye Rongyao looked at Liu Qingqing who was panting and said. Although the weather is very cold now, sweat has appeared on Liu Qingqing's face, and she is tired all the way.
"Um."
Liu Qingqing nodded and responded. Liu Qingqing didn't expect that it would be so tired to climb up on snowy days. She hadn't even walked halfway, and she was so tired that she couldn't walk anymore.
Liu Qingqing is really a little guilty now. She has been spoiled for a long time and has no strength after climbing the mountain for a while.
"It's snowing so heavily now and there's no place to rest, so we can only continue to walk."
Ye Rongyao looked around and said to Liu Qingqing helplessly. This year's snow was really heavy, and many of the footprints he stepped on along the way were about ten centimeters.
"Um."
