Chapter 198 Picnic ([-])

"Okay, let's go!" Li Xin smiled.The carriage started to move, and the group set off.

The destination was in a mountain about ten miles away, named Huxing Mountain. Li Xin asked the people on Zhuangzi about the location.Most of the people on Zhuangzi have lived in Zhuangzi for several years, and they are quite familiar with the environment in many surrounding places.Li Xin wanted to go out for a picnic, so she inquired about the situation in a radius of more than ten miles, and found a more suitable place.

Since it's a picnic, it can't be too close to home, too close is not very interesting.Of course, it can't be too far away. If you go too far, it will take a long time to go back and forth.

Sitting in the carriage, it didn't take long, and Li Xin and the others arrived at the foot of Huxing Mountain.Tiger-shaped mountain, as the name suggests, is a continuous mountain in the shape of a tiger.From a distance, it looks like a tiger crouching here. This mountain looks very mighty.There is a way to go up this mountain, but horse-drawn carriages cannot go up the mountain.

Therefore, the carriage can only be parked at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the road must be walked out with feet.

"Cousin, are we really going to walk up the mountain?" Ling Feifei looked at the mountain in front of her and hesitated.

"Yeah! Why, Feifei, are you scared? Actually, it's not difficult to go up the mountain, we don't go deep into the mountain, we can just go halfway up the mountain." Li Xin smiled. If you dare to take so many people there, what should you do if there are really beasts!Therefore, it is not bad to be halfway up the mountain.

There are villages not too far from the foot of the mountain, so on the Tiger-shaped Mountain, there will be people going up the mountain on weekdays.Digging wild vegetables, picking herbs, picking mushrooms, and chopping firewood all have to go up the mountain, so Tiger-shaped Mountain is not considered a deserted place.However, there are not always people going to the mountains on weekdays, but it is a very good place.

Because some people will go up the mountain, but they have walked out of a small path. It will not be very wide, but it is still very obvious.

"How can miss walk this kind of road, how about Miss Biao help find a sedan chair! Even if there is no sedan chair, it would be nice to have a shoulder chair!" Before Ling Feifei could express her opinion, Nanny Zhong began to speak.

"Why are you like this! In this kind of place, where can the elder sister find you a sedan chair and shoulder pads!" Wen Hao stared at Nanny Zhong.This woman, he has long been upset, at home, living in the house, eating the food at home, it’s fine if she doesn’t know how to be grateful, but she is still picky and picky in the whole. .

When I came out to play this time, I was going to play in the wilderness, but I still talked about sedan chairs and shoulders.It's not too difficult to go from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and the mountain is not very steep, so it shouldn't be very hard to walk.

"Since you don't have a sedan chair or shoulders, miss, don't go up the mountain! You are a rich lady, how many people love and pamper you at home! How can you bear such crying? If my aunt knows, Don't cry and blind your eyes! If Miss feels a little unwell, how can I explain to the masters in the mansion!" Nanny Zhong supported Ling Feifei and was about to get back into the carriage.

"Nurse, what are you doing! This time I came to the mountain to play, how can I care about this and that! If I really like to care so much, then I will stay in the mansion well, and don't worry about it." What are you doing out there! Besides, Yueting is younger than me! She is not afraid of anything, so I have nothing to be afraid of! It's just going up the mountain, I'm sure I can do it." Ling Feifei said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's divide up the things we need to bring, and then we'll go up the mountain." Li Xin didn't even look at Nanny Zhong. After getting along with her these days, she was already very familiar with this person.It is understandable that people who are used to being picky always like to pick a few words.No matter what she hears now, she won't feel angry anymore, and she doesn't bother to care about it anyway.

This time I brought a lot of things, so Li Xin simply distributed them.Yuexiang, Yueting, and Ling Feifei didn't need to bring anything.All the things were distributed to other people. Zhu Yong and the other coachman were strong laborers and distributed most of the things.After the things were distributed, everyone started to go up the mountain with their backs, shoulders, and holding things.

Although Li Xin's family was young, they were all used to walking on mountain roads. There was no problem along the way, and they walked relatively steadily.On the contrary, Caiyun, Caixia and Ling Feifei walked the mountain road, but they didn't know how to walk.

Although the eldest maid of the Ling family is also a maid, on weekdays, she looks like the deputy lady, and she can be regarded as pampered.There are not too many things to do, just serve a little water and tea by the master's side, or just do some needlework.Speaking of which, it's really relaxing.In the past, there were not many roads to walk, even if we walked, it was also a very easy road, flat and spacious, which is comparable to winding mountain roads.

All the people walked up the mountain supporting each other along the way.Even Yue Ting walked to Ling Feifei's side to help Ling Feifei walk.

Stopping and stopping along the way, taking a break after walking for a while, after tossing for a long time and spending a lot of effort, the group of people finally reached the halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Caiyun, Caixia, and Ling Feifei collapsed on the ground out of breath, greedily breathing in the fresh air.After putting down all the things, Li Xin let Zhu Yong and the coachman leave first.Then it was time for Li Xin and the others to live in the wild. Since the two of them didn't want to participate, they went back to Zhuangzi first.

Wait until the next morning to drive the carriage to pick up people.

"I'm so tired! It seems that climbing a mountain is not an easy task." Caiyun said while panting.The breathing was very heavy, and it seemed that he was really tired.

Speaking of which, among the group of people, at this time, Li Xin and Wen Hao were in the best spirits, probably because of their martial arts practice!Although Wenbo and Yuexiang and Yueting were not serious, they were still tired. They sat on the ground and didn't want to move. Yueting kept yelling that her legs were sore.

"In fact, climbing the mountain is not difficult, it mainly depends on the physical fitness. If the physical fitness is good, it is actually very easy to get to the middle of the mountain. If the physical fitness is not good, climbing the mountain will naturally be exhausting." Li Xin smiled. He smiled, "Okay, you guys should rest here first! Wen Hao and I will go get some water for you to drink first."

Li Xin found the container and took Wen Hao to find water.The water containers used by rural people are usually gourds and bamboo tubes.Of course, buckets can hold more water, but no one can carry them with them.This time when they went up the mountain, they also brought a bucket, but now they didn't want to fetch water for breakfast, but just to find some water to drink. Li Xin and Wen Bo just took a big gourd each.

There is a stream on the Tiger-shaped Mountain, and there is a big pool on the mountainside.This is what someone who knows Huxing Mountain told Li Xin. Moreover, at the foot of the mountain, there is indeed a stream of water flowing down the mountain, which means that there should be a stream in the mountain.In other words, the person who told her was right, there should be a pool halfway up the mountain.

However, it is not necessary to find a pool, it is enough to find a stream.After climbing the mountain for so long, although she is not very tired, she is very thirsty, and now she wants to drink water.Moreover, Wenbo and the others are still waiting for water to drink!
The two searched for a while, but they didn't find the big water pool, but they found the creek.

The creek meanders, and the sound of running water can be heard, but the stream is not very big, so there is no such happy sound of "crashing and clattering".The creek winds and flows down the mountain range, and when it flows for a while, there will be a small pool, which is not too big, but it also gathers a large pool of water.

The mountain is very quiet, and the sound of clear water can be heard clearly, as if listening to the wonderful sounds of nature.

The wind blows the leaves "rustling", and there are birds chirping in the distance, which is really a very beautiful sound of nature.There are traces of artificial carving in the wonderful music, and there is a lack of natural mellowness. Only this kind of wonderful sound of nature can really be called the sound of nature.

"Finally found water." Wen Hao happily squatted down in the creek, washed his hands lightly, and took the water with both hands to drink. "Sister, come and drink, this water is really delicious."

"I'm so thirsty at this time, water is the best thing to drink." Li Xin also went over to drink some water.The clear water is cool because it is hidden in the mountains and under the shade of trees.The water also has a very light sweetness, without any bad smell, this stream water is indeed good water.

"Sister, am I right? This is really delicious." Wen Hao looked at Li Xin with a smile after drinking enough water.
"Yes! The taste is really good, with a rare sweetness." Li Xin smiled, "Speaking of sweet water! I really remembered a joke, do you want to hear it?"

"What joke? Big sister tell me." Wen Hao was in high spirits.

"It's like this. It's said that there was a man who was carrying wine to sell. On the way, he saw a citrus plant. The fruit was sweet and sour, crisp and slightly astringent. The taste was not particularly good, but it could Passers-by who are thirsty will pick it up and eat it. The man picked oil mandarin fruit to eat. After eating, he came across a well. After drinking the well water, he felt very sweet in his mouth. The man thought The well water was scarce, so I poured out the wine and took a stone of water home. However, after returning home, I found that the water was just ordinary water, without any sweetness."

"Sister, what's the reason?"

"The tangerine is slightly astringent in the mouth, but it has a sweet aftertaste, especially after drinking water, it will feel very sweet. In fact, it is not the sweetness of the water, but the effect of the tangerine."

"It turned out to be like this! That man suffered a great loss. He poured out the wine, but brought back a stone of ordinary well water."
