The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 10 Torreya and Shichi

"When your father died, no one believed that you were destructive, and your mother didn't want you anymore. My parents saw you as pitiful, so they took you into my house, but in just a few years, my parents disappeared one after another. "

"I asked the abbot of the temple, and they said that there may be a reason why you have to pursue something that doesn't belong to you. You should think about it."

When An Da Ni spoke, the appearance that I pity you and don't despise you, you must be grateful to Dade, once again clearly appeared in front of my eyes.

Zong Che became more and more disgusted with the person in front of him who had the same appearance as An Da Ni. He sat at the table, flipped through a page of the book, and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."

An Xu could see that he was angry, so it was fine if he refused to listen. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, so he turned around and went out, picked up the half-used bamboo basket by the door, and went straight to the mountain.

It was the slack season at this time, and there were not many people on the mountain. Some women were digging bamboo shoots, and some middle-aged men cut bamboo together in threes and fives.

An Xu thought as he passed those bamboo choppers.

After entering the mountain, I walked in for about two miles, and there were people there. Sure enough, as the boy from the Zong family said, the people in the village are not stupid, but it is difficult to find good things on the shallow side of the mountain.

An Xu was very courageous. After thinking about it, he walked straight into the sparsely populated depths.

Gradually, the feeling under the feet became thick and soft. This is the layer of fallen leaves accumulated by few people all the year round. An Xu looked up at the dense leaves that almost covered the sky.

This kind of place where every breath is refreshing and green can only be found in uninhabited nature reserves in previous lives.

An Xu smiled unconsciously.

But it's not that no one from the village has been here before. There are two sets of footprints on the path she walked on.

"Danny, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, a man in front of him who was shrunk behind the big chestnut tree heard the footsteps and turned his head. When he saw the person coming, his eyes were full of surprise and disapproval.

An Xu didn't know who this was, but from the name, she knew that it was someone close, so she didn't ask, and said directly: "There is no surplus food at home, I want to find something to sell in the county."

An Ao thought that this cousin was deliberately mocking her family for not knowing how to help her family, and said: "Your family has eight or nine acres of land in the south of the river. If you plant it well, how can it not be enough for your family? There are indeed good land in the mountains. Things, but it’s either a big effort or a risk, why are you here to join in the fun.”

An Xu noticed that there were two people behind the tree on the left and right of the speaker, both huddled behind the tree and staring at the front quietly, and pointed to the path next to him: "I'm going this way, I won't disturb you prey."

An Ao said: "We are indeed hunting, but I said those are not worried about you disturbing the prey, Dani, you are not young anymore, and you still have Chonger to take care of. Listen to it more,"

Seeing that she couldn't listen to her heart, An Ao shook his head and said no more, "Don't go too far, we will be here today."

An Xu said thank you, and walked to a path with a wide distance between trees.

"Since when has your cousin been so polite?"

Not far away, she heard someone asking from behind.

So the person who talked to her just now was An Da Ni's cousin, and I don't know how many brothers and sisters An Da Ni had, who died young.

I don't have any relevant memories, which is really inconvenient for An Xu. According to what the cousin just said, An Da Ni's family has a field on the other side of the river, but I don't know where it is.

An Xu held a not-so-sharp sickle in his hand, thinking about the various possible relationships of An Da Ni's family, and how to extract the location of the An family's field from the son of the Zong family or the cousin just now.

When I came back to pay attention to the surrounding environment, I realized that there were already towering old trees all around. Looking back on the road behind, my footprints were still very clear, so I don’t have to worry about getting lost in this deep forest.

Before, all she saw were chestnut trees, prongs, bamboos and the like, but here are some building materials trees, An Xu looked in the depths.

Even in broad daylight, the deep mountains and dense forests were still dimly lit. She searched around for a while, but found nothing of great value except a piece of mushroom and fresh wild vegetables.

Anyway, after walking so far, An Xu continued to walk some distance inside, passing a big cypress tree that could not be hugged by several people, and ahead was a wild torreya tree that was not much different in size from this cypress tree.

The torreya tree is about three to four meters high, and it has four or five large branches. A single branch is larger than the ordinary trees outside, and a layer of torreya has accumulated on the surrounding ground.

This place is not like a place that the villagers cannot reach, but such a big torreya tree bears so many torreya seeds every year. Judging by the amount of accumulation on the ground, it is possible that the villagers do not know that this thing is edible, right?
Torreya seeds have a special aroma when they are cooked. Although it tastes a bit bitter on the first day of the lunar new year, it has a mellow aroma when tasted finely.

What's more, this thing can also be used as medicine. Even if you don't eat it yourself, you can always get some money if you sell it at the pharmacy in the county.

An Xu put down the bamboo basket behind his back, climbed up the tree and hugged the thinner branch, and it shook for a while, crashing, and a piece of ripe torreya could fall down when the wind blows, and this shaking fell down like a torrential rain.

Amidst the sound of the fruit crackling to the ground, there was a cooing sound. An Xu stopped and looked under the tree, and saw two red-headed vines flying out of the vine bushes with small white flowers at the root of the tree. , a bird with white circles around its eyes, smaller than a chicken.

Isn't this a rock chicken?

An Xu hesitated for a while, and saw another group running out of the grass, some of them were fat and running very slowly.

Rock chickens are not rare in modern times, but they are also included in the wild animal protection list. As a chef, An Xu still has the principle of not eating protected animals.

Moreover, wild animals have countless bacteria on their bodies.

After thinking for a while, An Xu finally resisted the temptation to go hunting while looking at the group of chubby chickens below, and waited for the group of stupid chickens to run away and come down from the tree.

When I opened the grass under the tree, I saw a large hay nest under the green grass, and several layers of stone eggs were almost piled up on it.

As if seeing a branch full of ripe fresh fruits, An Xu felt a flash of joy, and squatted down to pick up several stone eggs to check, many of them were fertilized eggs.

If there are no accidents, a large brood of young rock chickens will be hatched in a month or two.

The wild ones are afraid to eat, but the ones raised by oneself can still be eaten.

An Xu thought about it, brought a bamboo basket, first put a piece of grass on the bottom, and then picked up half of the basket of stone eggs, and she planned to try to see if they could hatch at home.

If you can't succeed, come back in a month or two to pick up a few smaller ones and bring them home to raise.

After filling the upper space with torreya, An Xu went down the mountain with bamboo baskets on his back.

Not far away, they met the young man she was talking to and his hunting companion. All three of them had joyful expressions on their faces, and each of them had a ring of grouse hanging around their waists.

An Xu: It can't be the ones she drove out just now.
