Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 5
Today Tian Liusu's skills made Song Xi admire her, so Song Xi also believed what she said, even though he still had some doubts, he still came to help Tian Liusu pick those wild fruits.

The two walked and stopped, Tian Liusu picked a bag full of wild chestnuts and loquats, and before he could finish picking them, he picked another bag for Song Xi, and also picked half a bag of non-poisonous mushrooms and day lilies.

Song Xi was dumbfounded. He pointed to the mushrooms picked by Tian Liusu and said, "Sister-in-law, this is absolutely inedible. The year before last, Wang Dazhu in the village was forced to take back the rented land by him and the owner of Qin because of a quarrel with Li Er, in order to survive. He went into the mountains to hunt, and then he picked this and went back to eat it when he didn’t catch any prey, but he died of poisoning.”

"I know, these are called mushrooms, some are poisonous, some are not, you believe me, I have eaten this before, I can tell the difference, this is delicious, when I go back, I will make it for you to eat."

Seeing that he was still cautious, Tian Liusu explained to him again.

After filling the pockets they were carrying, Tian Liusu straightened up and looked around. Seeing a masson pine a few steps away, she was overjoyed and ran towards the forest, squatting down to search for it. , Sure enough, she found Poria cocos in the roots of those masson pines, and this thing is the main purpose of her going to the mountain today.

She dug out all the poria cocos on the tree and put them in a bag alone. Although she doesn't know medical skills, she is very familiar with these herbs in the mountains. Take this to the pharmacy and it will sell for a good price.

After a while, she dug out all the Poria cocos in the small forest, and then stood up.

"Sister-in-law, we have already entered the belly of the mountain, let's go back quickly, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the mountain after dark." Song Xi saw that Tian Liusu had finally filled all the pockets the two of them were carrying, and called her Ready to go back to the village.

"Okay, let's go back and get the prey, then we can go back." Tian Liusu said, turned back and Song Xi and the two were about to go back.

"Xizi, where is the source of the mountain spring in our village? Is it in this mountain?"

"It should be, but I have gone into the mountain many times and haven't found it."

"Oh, then let's go back." Tian Liusu checked all the way carefully, but couldn't find what she was looking for. After listening to Mrs. Sun's talk about the landform characteristics of Tianshui Village, she had an idea, and planted another For the crops in winter, if this is the case, there is no need to worry about next year's rations.

The surface temperature of the field here is high, and the survival rate of crops is low, but the temperature is low in winter. If you choose drought-tolerant and high-yielding crop species, you can get a harvest in the next spring. People in Tianshui Village don’t understand this principle, and only plant one season a year. Food, and complained that they had spread the worst land, but in fact, it is a treasure if it is well used.

Tian Liusu thought of sweet potatoes, which are most suitable for planting in Tianshui Village. Based on the terrain here, she judged that there must be hot springs in the mountains. Where there are hot springs, there are wild sweet potatoes. She went to the mountains this time mainly to find Poria cocos and sweet potatoes. Yes, I didn't expect to find Poria, but not sweet potatoes. She thought she had to find another way. Fortunately, the harvest was good. When she was free, she would go to the mountain alone to look for it.

The two turned around in a forest, and Tian Liusu accidentally glanced at a bush in the distance, and saw that the forest there was very lush, as if someone had planted such a dense forest, she became curious, After walking over and pawing a few times, I was suddenly taken aback.

There was a cave behind the bushes, and she pushed through the leaves covering the entrance of the cave and walked in. Song Xi also noticed the strangeness here, and he followed curiously, and followed her into the cave.

There was no shelter in the cave. To be precise, it was more like a tunnel. The two of them walked for about a stick of incense and finally reached the end. The cave was not dead, it was an interface leading to another place.

The entrance of the cave was still covered by dense forest leaves. Tian Liusu took out the kitchen knife she carried with her and chopped off the leaves and vines a few times. She felt a rush of heat, which made her feel very refreshed. She jumped out of the cave. , looking up, suddenly opened his mouth wide.

Song Xi who was following her was also stunned when she saw the strange scene in front of her.

I saw here is a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, hot air lingers below, the sound of running water is gurgling, pleasant to the ear, there is a pool of clear springs at the bottom of the valley, and the hillsides around the valley are lush and green. A world, just like a paradise.

Tian Liusu ran over a few steps, rummaged through the green plant, and found that it was actually a sweet potato.

"Haha, Xizi, we're going to get rich." Tian Liusu pulled out a vine casually, then dug a few times with his hands, and finally dug out a sweet potato.

Today is really a great discovery. She searched hard everywhere but couldn't find this thing. She didn't expect to find such a place by accident, and the mountains are full of it.

"Sister-in-law, what is this? Can this be eaten?" Xizi asked in a low voice when she saw the purple thing that Tian Liusu had dug out.

"This is a good thing. It can be eaten naturally. The most important thing is that this thing is suitable for planting in the kind of land in our village. We can plant another crop of this thing this winter." She shook the sweet potato in her hand excitedly and Song Xi Said.

"Really? Sister-in-law, can this thing really be planted in our Tianshui Village?" Song Xi focused on the word "can be planted in the whole village". If so, the tenants in Tianshui Village will be able to feed themselves dinner.

"Absolutely true. Now let's dig some of these things and take them home." She knelt down and began to dig sweet potatoes. Song Xi had already admired her in her heart today, and now she believed in it, and hurriedly followed her to dig.

Tian Liusu took advantage of the opportunity to turn around the valley, and turned to the sweet potatoes on the other side of the hill. Looking at the green plants in front of him was more happy than seeing his own mother.

Immediately, she and Song Xi got busy, preparing to dig some back first, and then enter the mountain again.

Time passed quickly in the mountains, and soon the sun turned to the west. Seeing that it was getting dark, Tian Liusu raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and inadvertently glanced at the opposite side, and suddenly screamed out of his mouth.

I saw a dark shadow standing on the opposite hillside, and carefully identified it as a human figure. The shadow was still moving, and it seemed that it was dressing up in front of the mirror, taking a picture alone. Tian Liusu instantly thought of his sister-in-law and her It's about the ghosts in the mountains.

"Ah..." Tian Liusu screamed, stood up and ran towards the exit.

"What's the matter? Sister-in-law?" Song Xi hurriedly got up and asked after hearing her scream.

"There's a ghost..." Tian Liusu instantly felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and stood in front of Song Xi trembling slightly.
