Chapter 106 Mountain Stream
At dawn the next morning, a roar suddenly sounded in the valley: "Fuck!"
Moving last night took a lot of effort from Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao. Zhou Zhi directly cut the plastic sheet and moisture-proof mat under the mattress pad from the main body. Fang Wenyu gave the girl a light and went to a lawn upstream to lay a new camp.
Yang He and Mu Ruyun dismantled the tarpaulin above, and everyone worked together in tacit cooperation.
After that, the mosquito-proof stacks will have to be rearranged.
Although the girls pushed each other and pushed you when asked to express their opinions, they also did it with great enthusiasm.
When everyone lay down again, they were all laughing.
Then everyone began to predict how Wei Fei would react when he woke up the next morning. They were excited for a while before falling asleep, and they still haven't gotten up yet.
Wei Fei fell asleep in a daze in the morning. He opened his eyes and looked at them, then closed them again, preparing to stare for a while longer.
But after closing his eyes, the logical subconscious of the engineering dog kept reminding him that something was wrong... something was wrong... something was wrong...
Suddenly I realized what I saw when I opened my eyes was the sky. Where was the tarpaulin above?
I was so startled that I woke up completely. When I sat up, I realized that I was sleeping alone on the grass!
He rolled to the ground and stood up. Damn it, why is the camp ten meters upstream of him?!
He ran to the new camp and grabbed Yan Xiao's collar: "Why are you here?"
Yan Xiao was still dazed and kept talking: "We have always slept here...don't ask me to sleep a little longer..."
"Impossible, then why should I sleep down there alone?"
"I don't know...you got up alone in the middle of the night and said you wanted to sleep down there, but you couldn't even pull your elbows..."
Wei Fei threw Yan Xiao away and pulled up the elbow: "Elbow! What's going on?"
Zhou Zhi was also confused: "You must be sleepwalking, it's a long dream..."
"Impossible! We obviously slept together last night!"
Yang He, the honest child, was still lying down and murmured: "That was also a dream. Did you also dream that the salt rat told a ghost story and then got beaten..."
Everyone had actually woken up when Wei Fei came over to pull Yan Xiao away. Now that he had broken the skill, he could no longer pretend, so they laughed together.
"You!" Wei Fei felt so sad and angry: "It's not too troublesome!"
Yan Xiao laughed so much that he rolled on the mat: "You snore so loudly! It makes everyone unable to sleep, and it's hard to wake you up, so we have to move."
"Did I snore last night?"
"It's normal. Xiaopu snores loudly. You were too tired yesterday."
Mu Ruyun smiled and said: "Airplane, you should be happy."
"Why?"
"Because you slept until dawn and didn't wake up in the middle of the night..."
"Holy shit..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
…
…
After washing up, it’s breakfast, luncheon meat, omelette, potatoes and corn.
Then everyone continued their journey and headed upstream along the mountain stream.
The mountain flowers are romantic along the way, and the flowing water is flowing. As long as you stop and squat down for a while, you can find many animals in the stream, including small crabs, shrimps, and various stream fish that you have never seen before.
Those fish are very small, and many of them are very beautiful, such as sand loach, rainbow loach, small rock crawler, golden catfish, peach blossom... There is also a beautiful little fish that looks like a giant catfish but with black stripes on its body. Even Zhou Zhi can't call it that.
When asked about the name, Lao Mu called it "Wudao Pomfret".
There are some egrets living in bamboo forests in many places.
Pay close attention to the cliff eagle standing on the high stone, watching everyone with proud eyes.
Wei Fei also found a squirrel head on the road. The cut under the head was still fresh. Everyone watched for a while and agreed that it was leftover from the Cliff Eagle.
There are also many mountain fruits, sheep dung rice, mugwort seedlings, wild sweet potatoes...
Several wild lilies were in bloom. Yan Xiao picked them and gave them to some girls. Zhou Zhi said the lilies were edible, but the classmates didn't believe them.
So Zhou Zhi used his boss's strength to dig out the lily roots from the cracks in the rock. It turned out that they were really inedible and too small.
There are too many ferns, and they grow extremely luxuriantly under the cedar woods and near the road.
Jiachuan is the kingdom of ferns. There are several types of ferns that are edible. One type is fat and tender and is originally a specialty here.
There are also wild peas. Plucking the beans inside can be used to make a small whistle that can be blown.
Gradually, a flower crown appeared on the girls' heads, which was braided by Zhou Zhi out of young eucalyptus slivers, rhododendron and Lycoris flowers.
The boys also have a crown of eucalyptus leaves on their heads, and each of them has a bamboo stick in their hand, so they have to hit each other a few times.
The bamboo stick was created after two snakes were discovered, one was a cauliflower snake and the other was a black-tip snake.
The appearance of the first black-tipped snake scared Feng Xueshan to death, but by the time the boys rushed over, the snake had already walked away.
The second one was quite fat, and Mu Ruyun said it was edible, but Zhou Zhi said there were too many reptile parasites, and they didn't have the leisure and leisure to simmer the soup slowly, so they finally let it go amidst the screams of the girls.
When setting up camp that afternoon, Mu Ruyun found a hilly place, away from the big stream at the bottom of the mountain, and climbed up the mountain along a small stream that merged into it, and came to the old open dam next to the foundation of an old house with mud walls in the middle of the mountain.
.
The households here moved away in an unknown year and month, leaving only a few mud walls behind the houses, but there are several very old fruit trees around the open dam and behind the mud walls.
…
"There, there!" Jiang Shuyi raised her head under the tree and pointed out to Zhou Zhi where the ripe plums were.
The same thing is happening under a few old fruit trees.
Only natives like Lao Mu can find such a place.
In addition to plums, there are also peaches and bayberries.
Zhou Zhi cut down a few suitable bamboos, tied the lower part of one end of the bamboo with a cane, cut the upper part, and inserted a section of branches to let it open, thus making a "fruit-picking pole".
The boys climbed up the tree, and the girls pointed under the tree. Then the boy stretched out the pole, clamped the branch where the fruit was, and disturbed it, so that the ripe plums fell down.
There are many varieties of plums, there are two types here, one is green, the ripe ones will turn yellow; the other is red, the flesh inside is yellow.
Wei Fei didn't go up the tree either. He picked up fruits with the girls under the tree. When he picked them up, he wiped them with his hands before putting them in his mouth.
"You don't care about hygiene on the plane! Don't you even wash it?" Jiang Shuyi is now familiar with her friends and can speak relatively comfortably.
"It's quite clean. Is there any dust here?" Wei Fei held a yellow plum in his hand and handed it to Jiang Shuyi: "It's ripe and so sweet."
Jiang Shuyi took the plums and put them in the small pot: "Let's eat together later."
Yan Xiao is very tall and very agile. He is like a gibbon on the white peach tree. He stretches out a bamboo pole to clamp a peach handle and shouts below: "Be careful, it's coming——"
"Wait a minute..." Ye Xin, Feng Xueshan, Zhang Xinyi, and He Yongmei adjusted their position under the tree while holding a piece of plastic sheet: "Okay!"
Yan Xiao has an impatient temper, and the few peaches he just dropped from the tree were broken. They were still the ripest white peaches, which made Wei Fei cry out that it was a pity.
Now girls have come up with this way to protect the peaches under the tree.
Several peaches fell from the branches one after another, and fell into the plastic cloth one by one, making the girls cheer.
It was a bumper harvest, and soon there were more than a dozen peaches, plums, and wild bayberries piled on the small plastic sheet in front of the camp.
Everyone went to wash in the creek behind the house, while Zhou Zhi and Feng Xueshan started cooking.
In addition to fruit trees, there are some scattered vegetables here. Zhou Zhi discovered a pumpkin. In addition to a few small pumpkins, pumpkin tips and pumpkin flowers can be eaten.
The same goes for loofah. Although loofah is basically old, the leaf tips are also a good vegetable.
There is also the blood-skin vegetable that must be found in front of Jiachuan Farmhouse. It grows very luxuriantly. When one-third of the buds are pinched off, there are huge piles of leaves.
Today's cooking is more elaborate. After the rice is ready, stir it up with chopsticks and spread it out to let some of the moisture escape. Use canned anchovies, lard, and wild onion knots to make fried rice.
The wok was occupied by Zhou Zhi, and the rice pot was used by Feng Xueshan to scald the vegetables and make cold salad.
When the fried rice was ready, the rice pot was freed up. She poured the fried rice into the rice pot and freed up the wok. Feng Xueshan made stir-fried melon leaf tips and pumpkin flowers, as well as stir-fried tender pumpkin.
The tacit cooperation is still invincible.
After the meal was ready, everyone ate under the shade of the thick trees.
This meal was quite filling, and everyone enjoyed it very happily. They all thought that fried rice was the most suitable for a picnic, and asked Zhou Zhi to continue it in the evening.
"Then let's make fried rice with eggs tonight." Feng Xueshan said with a smile: "Mix in bracken and make pickled cabbage soup."
"The pickled cabbage soup can remove the fishy smell, and you can also add mountain crabs."
"Then after dinner, let's go catch crabs in the stream!"
The creeks on the mountain are a little different from those at the bottom. Some places are like small waterfalls. The color of the crabs is also a little different. Their backs are iron red and they are much larger.
But the force was too strong, and being pinched was not an ordinary pain. After Fang Wenyu's finger was pinched and bled due to his unskilled work, no one among the girls except Ye Xin dared to touch the stone anymore.
In fact, there are not many crabs hidden under the rocks. Those crabs are out for travel. The rock crevices by the water on both sides of the creek are their real home.
But even Yan Xiao didn't dare to do anything for fear of touching a snake. Those places were the hunting grounds of Yang He, Mu Ruyun, Zhou Zhi and Ye Xin.
Fang Wenyu also gave up after being trapped, and together with Yan Xiao, she took the girls to play with small crabs in the middle of the stream.
Jiang Shuyi told everyone that if you hit the rocks in the stream with stones, the fish underneath may be stunned. If you turn over the rocks, they will flow out and you can catch them downstream.
Neither Yan Xiao nor Fang Wenyu believed it, but they didn't stop them from giving it a try. After smashing it twice, a small crucian carp came out of the water.
"Shu Yi, you still have this hand?" Fang Wenyu found it unbelievable.
Jiang Shuyi just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Is there another one here?" Zhou Zhi immediately noticed the species of fish: "Old Mu, are there fields around it?"
These mountain streams are generally filled with stream fish, and crucian carp is a semi-domesticated fish. Except for rivers and streams, there are generally fields and reservoirs in the middle of the mountains, otherwise they cannot find spawning grounds.
"There is no field..." Mu Ruyun was recalling: "It seems to be a half-dried fish pond. The farmers there used to prevent droughts..."
