Chapter 4 Space to find
Rural people generally get up early, and grandma gets up to make breakfast at dawn.Liu Ying is no exception, she gets up early to help feed the chickens and ducks.Maybe it was the matter of picking red bayberries that attracted me, so my brother, who was always the last to get up, also got up.After breakfast, in order to catch up early, the two siblings worked together.

The younger brother is in charge of washing the dishes, and Liu Ying is responsible for picking out the clothes and washing them in the river. As for the elder brother?I took the initiative to prepare the bags for picking red bayberry, busy up and down, and the work was not completed until after nine o'clock when the sun was shining.Putting on cloth shoes, I was afraid that I would not be able to come back for lunch in time, so I also brought a few sweet potatoes that were steamed in the morning.The three siblings set off in a hurry, the old scene was warm, and Liu Ying, who was somewhat introverted, couldn't help being a little excited.

It's been a long time since I've been on the mountain, and people will be squeamish. After walking for a while, Liu Ying's feet are a little sore.Glancing at his elder brother and Tao Tsai who were fine, he gritted his teeth, ashamed to show his discomfort.In order to divert attention, Liu Ying took the initiative to ask her elder brother where to pick it up this time.I remember that the places I went to when I was a child were nothing more than the few trees on my own mountain. They were delicious and not far away, and I think this time is no exception.

"Brother, where are we going to pick it up this time?"

"I don't know yet, I have to go farther this time. The few trees we picked in the past didn't yield much this year, and they were picked by Heizi and the others." replied.

"It's okay, sister. There are plenty of bayberry trees on the mountain. The worst thing is to go farther away." Seeing his sister's expression changed, Liu Tao thought it was because he was worried that he would not be able to pick the bayberry, and felt unhappy.

"Understood, but brother, since we have to go far, why don't we take a rest first and drink some water before we go." With the tip of his eyes, he saw a small stream not far away, and the water was drilled from the cracks in the rocks, clean very.Coupled with the fact that her feet were really sore, Liu Ying couldn't help but make a suggestion.

It's really not a matter of capacity to want to eat a red bayberry, Liu Ying thought painfully.

"Okay, drink some water, but you can't rest too much, just leave after drinking. If you rest too much, your feet will be more sore, and it will be difficult to go again." Glancing at Liu Ying, Liu Hai had already seen through Liu Ying's smallness. Thoughts, but don't break them.She followed her intentions, but she still had some small doubts in her heart. They are people who often go to the mountains, why they can't walk after such a short distance.

"Oh." Although it was only for a while, Liu Ying was still very happy.I ran to the creek in a few steps, squatted down, took some with my hands and drank it, um, not to mention, it was sweet, and it was nothing compared to the tap water in the city.All natural, without any additives.

"Sister, I want to drink too." Liu Tao squeezed over and said happily.

"Okay, you have a drink too."

Stepping aside, Liu Ying looked at her cheerful younger brother with a slight smile.After drinking the water, Liu Hai got up first and hurried on the road, and Liu Ying and the others were too embarrassed to rest any longer, so they caught up later.After another two hours or so, Liu Ying felt that her feet were so numb that they didn't belong to her anymore, and the soles of her feet were even worn out and covered with blisters.

God!Yangmei, where are you?Liu Ying called out affectionately in her heart. Because she was too tired, Liu Ying didn't even have the thought of chatting to divert her attention.There is only one thought in my heart, and that is to hurry up.

In fact, it was not that there were no red bayberry trees along the way, but the trees either had no fruit, or there were few, and some of them were not too red.So the eldest brother said not to worry about it, and then looked inside.Walking and walking, I walked deeper without knowing it. In the mountains in early summer, there are lush and picturesque scenery everywhere.

For the few people who were eager to find the bayberry tree, they didn't have the intention to appreciate it, and looked around.As if hearing the deep call from Liu Ying's heart, Liu Hai took the lead in posting Yang Mei's trace, and shouted excitedly, "Look, Yang Mei."

"Where, where."

City people, I really can't afford to be hurt!Hearing that there were red bayberries, Liu Ying shouted long live three times in her heart.The whole person immediately revived, and there was no bear like the previous moment, his eyes were shining, it was really scary.

This bayberry tree is really big, it is 20 meters high, and it should be four to 50 years old at least.The trees are full of red bayberries, and all of them are about the size of a toe, which is pleasing to look at.The excited older brother and younger brother climbed up the tree impatiently. Although Liu Ying wanted to go up, she didn't have the guts to look at the tree's waist, which was thicker than a bucket.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Ying stood on tiptoe under the tree, picking the lower bayberry and was satisfied.The red bayberry was ripe, red and black, and I threw one into my mouth.Liu Ying narrowed her eyes silly and happy, um, sour and sweet, that's what it tastes like.

"Natural without any preservatives, the taste is just different."

Hehe laughed for a while, Liu Ying didn't stop, picking a big one and sending it to her mouth.I didn't stop until my teeth were too sour to bite.Of course, Liu Ying is not alone. The elder brother and younger brother on the tree are also the same. They only put bayberry in the bag when they are full.

"Sister, catch it, I'll give you a bunch of big ones." The younger brother, who never eats alone, picked up many and big bunches of red bayberries and threw them down towards Liu Ying.Seeing that Liu Ying caught it, she continued to pick it in the bag, but after the meeting, Liu Ying still stood under the tree to pick it, and said puzzledly: "Sister, why don't you go up the tree, there are no trees on the top of the tree below." good."

Hearing this, Liu Ying smiled in embarrassment, and replied out of shame.

"You can just pick it from the tree. My sister sees that the ones below are not bad, so I won't go up to join in the fun."

You can't tell your brother that your sister dare not climb the tree, so you should lose your share.

"Oh." After listening to Liu Ying's answer, Liu Tao didn't worry about it, and continued with his unfinished business.And the bangs that are being picked happily, are not in the mood to care if Liu Ying comes up to pick them.

After picking for a small meeting, Liu Ying picked all that could be picked by standing under the tree, so she stopped to prepare for a break.Liu Ying, who is still full of energy, is sitting under the tree, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from all directions, not to mention how comfortable it is.After seeing Yangmei too much, she lost her excitement, and calmed down to appreciate the surrounding scenery, looking east and west.

Needless to say, Liu Ying discovered a small cave not far away.Since the entrance of the cave is covered by trees, vines and weeds, you can't really find it if you don't look carefully.By coincidence, Liu Ying put down the bag of red bayberries and walked towards the cave, and looked into the entrance of the cave. It was so dark that it made people feel like their hairs were standing on end.

Swallowing her saliva, and looking at the sun in full bloom, Liu Ying regained her courage, even if there were ghosts in the clear sky, she would not dare to come out and wander around.Breaking the weeds to the two sides, the sun shone in, and the cave suddenly lit up, and finally people could see the situation inside clearly.There was nothing but a two-meter-long stone bed and a stone bench.

No need to guess, one can guess that this cave has lived in people. Out of curiosity, Liu Ying walked into the cave lightly.Unlike the usual cave dwellings, which are full of damp smell, the inside is very dry, and it may not be lived in for a long time, and the surrounding dust has lost a thick layer.Not afraid of getting dirty, he touched the stone bed, it was very slippery, it can be seen that someone had slept on this stone bed.
