Nongmen elder sister

Chapter 42 The Wild Persimmon in the Mountains (2)
Fang led Si Ya and Pei Wendong to pick up a pile of dry firewood, the small cave was also paved with thick hay, and stones of different sizes were piled at the entrance of the small cave, waiting anxiously for Pei Qin and San Ya.

Seeing the two came back, Fang rushed over to pick them up, "What is this bag?"

"Mom! It's the wild persimmons picked by my elder sister and I! There's still a bunch of persimmons on the way. We can't finish them! We can sell them for money when we get them in the market tomorrow!" Sanya happily explained to Fang.

Fang's eyes were sore, she quickly took the hand, and took it into the small cave, "Let's take a break and get another one!"

"Can you weave baskets?" Pei Qin put down the wild persimmons and asked Fang.

Fang looked at the wild persimmons wrapped in clothes and nodded, "It's not well made."

"As long as it can hold things! You eat first, and I'll get those persimmons!" Pei Qin put on his outer shirt and continued to go up the mountain.

Sanya hurriedly followed along.

Halfway there, Sanya didn't leave, but still held Pei Qin tightly, lowering her voice, "There are wild pheasants, elder sister!"

Pei Qin listened attentively, looked around, and held the stick tightly in his hand.

After searching around for a few times, Pei Qin was a little discouraged and looked at the grayish-yellow figure jumping up the tree not far away, "We can't catch the squirrel that runs fast and climbs the tree! Let's go!"

Sanya looked regretfully and followed her.

As he walked, Pei Qin stopped, "Go!" and walked towards the squirrel tree.

Sanya was wondering.

Pei Qin went under the tree, climbed up the tree repeatedly, and took out a bunch of pine cones, melon seeds, and walnuts from the tree hole, "Go back and eat it as a snack!"

"Sister! Why is this thing in the tree hole?" Sanya was curious.

"This is the winter food stored by squirrels." Pei Qin rubbed a piece of walnut and threw it into his mouth.

Sanya looked at the dried fruit in his pocket, "Then let's take it away and eat it, and the squirrel will have nothing to eat!"

"We are people who are about to starve to death, so we can't control them anymore! If we don't eat their meat, we are already worthy of them!" Pei Qin touched her head, dug out a few more tree holes, and filled two bags full of them. , Then pack Ueno persimmon and go back.

There are very few snacks in the family, and even if there are, it is rarely the turn of the siblings.When those dried fruits were brought back, Sanya and Siya were reluctant to eat them, but Pei Wendong didn't dare to eat them.

"These can also be sold for money, so don't eat them!" Si Ya looked at the small pile, and could buy four mixed noodles for two yuan.

"I'll dig out and buy again in the future, let's eat the one today!" Pei Qin had already started to eat it.

"Let's eat!" Fang hesitated, and said to several people.

Sanya looked at Pei Qin, and gave a handful to Fang, and then to the youngest brother.

Only then did the mothers start to eat.

As it was getting late, Pei Qin leaned against the mountain wall and lit firewood at the entrance of the cave.

Fang wove baskets out of long grass by the firelight.

Pei Qin took a look, then moved some stones, piled them at the entrance of the cave, and surrounded the dry firewood that Fang and the others had picked up, so that if there were any wild beasts, they would be able to guard against them.

Fang was busy in the middle of the night, and his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down with the cold wind and warm fire. Looking at the babies who were all asleep, he added a circle of rough firewood to the fire, and then reclined Fall asleep on a nearby haystack.

The next day, just after dawn, Fang got up, saw that the fire had gone out, and wanted to light it again.

"No need to order, let's clean up, let's go!" Pei Qin yawned and stretched.

"Okay!" Fang put all the wild persimmons in a woven soft basket, and woke up the three of Pei Wendong.

"Don't go with so many people! How much money is left for travel expenses." Si Ya looked at the proposal.

"It's going to take a day! Go! There is no food on the mountain, and it's not safe." Pei Qin touched the nine coins, carrying wild persimmons, and greeted.

"Let's all go!" Fang was also worried.

Si Ya pursed her lips and said nothing.

Stepping on the morning frost, the mother and the others descended the mountain all the way, heading towards the county town.
