Chapter 288 May Day

This era should be the last era when children are outside without toys.

A large group of people get together, no matter what age, there are people who go to work in elementary school, junior high school, and go to the mountains and rivers to cause harm everywhere. In fact, there is no malice, but there are always things that should not be done and cannot be done.

From the beginning of the early spring to the mountain to pick Yingshanhong and put it in a bottle to raise it, until the end of autumn and the beginning of winter when the light snow falls, the whole world belongs to children, or young people.

Folding flowers and digging wild vegetables in spring, fishing for shrimps and picking mushrooms in summer, picking wild vegetables and picking wild fruits in autumn, no matter how big or small you talk about things in the mountains and rivers, you must be well-informed and experienced one by one.

In addition to running wildly around, or working, most of the children's play at this time can contribute to the family, such as picking some wild vegetables and getting a fish or something.

In addition to these, what I most desire is the Chinese New Year, but the Chinese New Year is the coldest time of the year. Although the food looks good, it is not good to play.To say that children, or young people, hope and are most willing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

June is the month when the Northeast really warms up, the temperature difference between day and night is not that big, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the water is fat and the fish are fat, but the mosquitoes have not yet fully awakened.

In fact, there are not many mosquitoes in the Northeast. The long and warm winter is not only sad for people, but also for mosquitoes.However, those who survived are all elites, not only have super reproductive ability, but also a big bite.

The Dragon Boat Festival is called May Festival here in Liaodong.

On the eve of this day, young people don’t sleep, they gather together and go somewhere to play, play all night, and then go to the mountain to pick mugwort or peaches together in the morning when the sky is still dark and the dew is falling. branches.

"Ermin, are you going to pick artemisia seeds?" Shi Deming and Wang Zhihui squatted at the door of the warehouse in front of the building, facing the window of Zhang Xinglong's room.

The barn of Wang Zhihui’s family doesn’t seem to have too many sundries. It is always open, and a few stools are taken out to sit on, or play chess or poker. It is more like a stronghold for young people in this building to play.

"Are you going? Where are you going to pick?"

"Er Min is dumbfounded, he must be dumbfounded, he doesn't know him at all." Wang Zhihui said to Shi Deming with a smile.

"Ermin, don't you know Mugwort? Do you know Peach Tree?"

"...the leaves grow, don't they?"

"You're really good, haven't you been to the mountains before?"

"I've been there, every year."

Wang Zhihui looked at Zhang Xinglong and smiled: "Follow every year, just follow around for a while, nonsense, when is it not picked by your army? How much do you know about mountain vegetables? Let me tell you."

"Prickly shoots..., bracken, monkey legs? Cat paws? I know sting pockmarks and ground pulp skins, have you seen them?"

"You also know thorny shoots and bracken. If you don't know these two, you will be a fool." Shi Deming squatted there and looked at Zhang Xinglong with a sideways smile.

"I know how to eat it. Where are you going to pick it?"

"Great Wall said to go to Zhaojiabao, and play at his partner's house at night, shall we go?"

"where?"

"You'll know it after you've been there. Who knows what kind of ditch it is called, Heibei Ditch? I've never been to the mountain before." Shi Deming shook his head.

The people in Guojiabao call Zhaojiabao the mountain, and the people in Nanfen call Guojiabao the mountain. Anyway, this place is full of mountains, and there is basically no flat place. People live in ravines, and the road is in the mountains. Going around, the two castles that are quite close to each other have to go around in a big circle.

"I haven't been there either. Ermin has been. He went to the middle school above."

"Who is there?"

"Great Wall, just the four of us, plus his counterpart and my counterpart, six people are not enough?"

"Xiao Ming, don't you look like you?"

"It sounds like you have it. I really fell in love with a girl from Donggoumen. She looks good-looking. She and her sister are both good-looking in her family. I dare not look for her, mother, old incredible."

"You're screwed, just go if you see it, what are you afraid of? If you don't tell her, she doesn't know that you and her daughter are like each other."

"Then why don't you go with me? Aren't you bold?"

"Okay, there's nothing you dare not do."

"Er Ming is a bit bold. Did you forget that Dachang set the mountain on fire the year before last? Ermin climbed up along the lazi. I dare not climb, so I have to come down by roller." Wang Zhihui pointed to the top of the mountain.

The mountain is too close to the building, less than ten meters away. When the building was built, it was thrown away after blasting, and a large area of ​​stone was exposed outside, grinning towards the side of the building.And it is very steep, at least seventy degrees.

Usually children are crazy and crawl everywhere, but very few people come to climb this ladder.Children actually have something in their hearts.

When setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, because this is a building, everyone would shoot balls and other things that fly high towards the mountain. That year, Dachang used the ball to set fire to the few weeds on the mountain.

I didn't feel anything at first, but I applauded. I went to find a place with a lot of grass to vomit. As a result, the wind caught fire, and half of the mountain was on fire.In winter, the mountains are full of dry grass stalks, which will catch fire.

On the top of the mountain is a pine forest, and beside the pine forest is a substation. Once the fire goes up, it will be a lot of fun.

Many adults ran out and cursed loudly to fight the fire.

No one is organized, and no one is an employee of the substation on the mountain. It is even impossible for the substation above to know the situation below.

But these people rushed up spontaneously, trampled on their clothes, and climbed on the ladder to put out the fire in time.

The adults naturally didn't need to say anything, among the children Zhang Xinglong was the first to climb up, he choked on black ashes, and his clothes were burnt when used to start a fire, making Zhang Qingzhi choked up.But didn't cut him.

The clothes that have been popular in recent years are all made of chemical fibers. A little spark will make a big hole, and there is no way to sew it.This is also one of the reasons why mending has left life, and there are fewer and fewer cotton things.

"I climbed over the steepest side, the place behind the Thousand Gates. My brother didn't dare, so I climbed up." Zhang Xinglong pointed to that side with a little trepidation.That location is on the upper part of Building No. [-], which is the steepest and barest part of the Lazi.

"Just blow it up, can you climb up that place?" Shi Deming didn't believe it.

"I really climbed up. Jiang Zi and I both watched. We scared the army enough and kicked Ermin several times." Wang Zhihui testified.

"Then you are awesome." Shi Deming compared his thumbs.

In fact, Zhang Xinglong, who climbed the lazi over there, didn't have any tricks, it was all because his fingers and arms were strong enough to stretch himself up.As long as you can hold it firmly, there is no problem. The key is that few children of this age have such arm strength.

"Are you going or not?" Shi Deming asked, Wang Zhihui and the Great Wall both had counterparts, and if he wanted to go, he asked Zhang Xinglong to accompany him, or he seemed too lonely.

"Go, where to eat at her house?"

"You know how to eat."

"Then you won't be hungry if you don't eat?"

"There's food for you, as if you're still hungry." Wang Zhihui threw a small stone at Zhang Xinglong, hit the glass with a slap, and stuck out his tongue in fright.

"Then go. You have to pick it for me." He really didn't know each other.
