Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 669 Mountain View

At the beginning of August, Gao Mingcheng returned to the village to pick up Gao Zhuang's family. After that, he was very busy preparing for the enrollment and opening of the kindergarten. He did not return to Gaojiacun for more than a month.

During this month, Chen Dasong went to the county every now and then to deliver goods to him. Chen Dasong also picked all the watermelons and cantaloupes in the field and sent them to the kindergarten.

After a month, Gao Mingcheng returned to Gaojia Village again, and he felt as if he was in another world. After playing with the Black Tiger Elf and other dogs for a while, he couldn't wait to go into the mountains.

But before heading into the mountains, he still had some preparations to do.

Gao Mingcheng took out a javelin from the utility room, then filled a basin of water and carried it to the whetstone in front of the door.

There is a whetstone under the osmanthus tree in front of the door. If you need to sharpen a knife, you can move a stool and sit here to sharpen the knife.

Wet the whetstone and the tip of the javelin with water first, and then you can sharpen it.

This javelin has not been used for a while, and the tip is covered in dust and looks a bit dull. However, it only needs sharpening for a while, and the edge of the tip will become bright white again and return to its sharpness.

Many Mei knew that Gao Mingcheng wanted to go into the mountains, but she didn't understand why Gao Mingcheng was so keen on going into the mountains, because for her, going into the mountains was a very tiring thing.

While running wildly, he also roared, and his voice spread far and wide, and there were echoes.

Gao Mingcheng had low academic qualifications, so he naturally didn't know about it, but thanks to the Internet information explosion and the development of self-media in his previous life, strange knowledge points entered his brain unexpectedly when he was browsing the web out of boredom.

As soon as Duo Duomei returned to the village, she struck up a conversation with her second sister Duoyu. So when Gao Mingcheng sharpened his javelin and was about to set off, Duo Mei found Gao Mingcheng and said, "We will go to the second sister's house for dinner at noon. You go down the mountain." Finally, remember to go over there.”

Dahuang still took Dahei and Xiaohei off, and stopped all the way to the mountainside. At this time, Gao Mingcheng had already accelerated, running wildly through the mountains and forests at a speed that it was difficult for black tigers and elves to catch up. middle.

Duo Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Then don't expect the stove at my second sister's house to be clean!"

In the countryside, firewood is very dusty, and there is also a lot of oil fume when cooking. Even if you are a diligent family, the kitchen will inevitably be full of dust, and you have to wait until before the New Year to remove the dust.

Gao Mingcheng has never been a mysophobic person. In his opinion, as long as the pots and bowls are clean and the dishes are clean, that's fine!

When people walk in the mountains, wherever they look, they are surrounded by greenery.

Birds are frightened and animals are fleeing, but the subtle movements they make set off the extraordinary silence in the mountains.

Many beauties have been going into the mountains to collect firewood since they were young, and they also go to the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat. Every time they go down the mountain, they are often so tired that they cannot straighten their backs.

And this greenery is not static. There are green, dark green, light green, and the young leaves of some trees are red. The color changes are diverse.

The young leaves of some trees are red, which seems to be a common thing for children in the mountains. But if you ask him why the young leaves are red, he will most likely not be able to answer.

In addition to bringing the javelin, Gao Mingcheng also brought a plastic bag and stuffed it into his pocket, just in case he found any wild fruits in the mountains.

Gao Mingcheng threw the gun body up, and then caught it naturally. He smiled and said: "I'm leaving, wait until I bring you prey back to eat!"

Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Later, when she married Gao Mingcheng, Gao Mingcheng didn't let her go into the mountains much. Whether it was digging herbs or collecting firewood, Gao Mingcheng did everything. She only had to do housework and manage the vegetable patch in front of her door.

As before, he led the black tiger and the elf into the mountains, his vigorous figure walking on the mountain road as dexterously as an ape.

Gao Mingcheng nodded and said: "Okay, the stove at home must be dusty, and it will be troublesome to clean it up."

Only then did he know that the reason why the young leaves are red is due to the increase in anthocyanins, which is also the plant's way of preventing pests and diseases. Because herbivorous insects are sensitive to blue light but lack red receptors, they are equivalent to red young leaves. Can shield against pests and diseases.

Weird knowledge points flashed through Gao Mingcheng's mind. He didn't pay attention. His eyes passed through the layers of trees, identifying familiar vegetation.

The yellow gardenia has already borne fruit, but the fruit is green and has not yet turned yellow. This will have to wait until the end of September or early October before it can be harvested, processed and dried into medicine. Similarly, cypress seeds are not yet mature. The cypress trees are full of cypress seeds, which look like little green stars. Cypress seeds are a medicinal material and can also be used to make incense.

In addition to these inedibles, Gao Mingcheng also focused on trees such as the mango tree, chestnut tree, and wild persimmon.

Among the vines in the ravines in the mountains, there are several wild grapes spreading everywhere. The wild grapes mature late and are still bearing fruits at this time. Most of the fruits are very small. Most of the fruits in a bunch are green, with only A few turned red.

You can eat the red ones, but the taste is quite average. Gao Mingcheng only went into the mountains to pick wild grapes when he was a child, but later he no longer cared about it.

But since he met them, he reached out and picked a few wild grapes to eat. They tasted sour and sweet, with less meat and more seeds, so he only ate one taste.

As for the chestnuts and wild persimmons, they are not yet ripe yet. When Gao Mingcheng passed under the trees, he didn't even give them a glance.

He ran to his heart's content in the mountains. When he reached the top of a mountain, he looked around and saw low mountains like hills and tall mountains in the distance like tens of thousands of feet. When he was among them, he felt high-spirited.

After running all the way here, Gao Mingcheng finally felt like he could relax his muscles and bones. He howled twice towards the distant mountains, and the depression accumulated in his heart disappeared in an instant.

After stopping to enjoy the scenery for a moment, there was movement in the trees. It turned out that the black tiger and the elf had finally caught up. The two dogs were running wildly in the woods, their tired tongues sticking out.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the silly looks of the two dogs. He stretched out his hand to touch the dogs' heads and tease them.

After resting for a while and seeing that the two dogs had recovered somewhat, Gao Mingcheng said, "Let's go and find prey!"

He brought the javelin here today, naturally hoping to catch something, not to mention an adult wild boar, but at least a yellow muntjac!

There were two dogs leading the way. Gao Mingcheng carried the javelin and began to trace the traces of wild boars all over the mountains and plains. Nowadays, the largest number of large beasts in the mountains are wild boars. It is already September, and it is the time when wild boars start to eat crazily. .

There are a lot of kudzu in the mountains, and the leaves on the kudzu and the underground rhizomes are the favorite food of wild boars.

Along the way, Gao Mingcheng saw many traces of wild boars eating kudzu, as well as traces of the soil being arched and eating kudzu.

However, now is not the best time to eat kudzu, because the starch content of kudzu at this time is not high. Not only does the taste not be that good, but the nutritional value is also average.

In addition to the gnawed kudzu vines, Gao Mingcheng also saw some wild yams. The leaves of yams are easy to identify, like a heart shape, and there are many small yam beans growing on the vines.

There are two types of yam propagation. One is rhizome propagation. If it is planted, it is best to choose rhizome propagation so that it can be harvested that year.

Another method of propagation is to use yam beans to sow seeds. The many yam beans on the vines are actually yam seeds, which can take root and sprout when they fall to the ground.

Of course, you can also pick it off and cook it to eat, which gives it a very chewy texture.

When Gao Mingcheng went into the mountain before, he didn't see many wild yams. He didn't expect that there were so many growing here. And judging from the thickness of the vines, he knew that the yams were quite old.

If yams had not been harvested until October, Gao Mingcheng would have wanted to harvest some now. Yam stewed with pork ribs and yam stewed chicken, they are both delicious and nutritious!
Gao Mingcheng silently wrote down this place, planning to come back here to dig some yams when he is free in October.

With this thought in his mind, Gao Mingcheng suddenly seemed to hear something. Looking at the black tiger and elf leading the way, they seemed to be aware of it, and their expressions became alert.

Gao Mingcheng knew that there was a high probability that there would be prey ahead.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but hold the wooden shaft of the javelin, and a bright light appeared in his eyes.

The footsteps seemed to become lighter at this moment. Gao Mingcheng followed the sound and finally saw a group of wild boars at the bottom of the hillside.

There are a total of six wild boars in the wild boar family. Four of them are larger and only two are smaller. At this time, they are lowering their heads to eat food. The leading wild boar is particularly vigilant. If there is any disturbance, it will raise its head alertly. Looking around, after the warning was lifted, he lowered his head and continued to eat.
