Exotic beauty: fake Princess

"Don't worry, my sister knows how to protect herself. My sister won't go too far, just walk around. " Shen Qing comforted the stone and stepped into the thatched cottage. When she came out later, she was holding a big cloth on the grass nest. A little fold, horizontal tied to the waist. He picked up the chopper from the pile.

"Sister, don't go. There are wild animals in the mountains." Stone said and thought again, said: "if you really want to go, then I will go with you." Shen Qing finds that stone is still a stubborn child. She does what she says. The stone snatches the firewood chopper in Shen Qing's hand and strides ahead. After a few steps, I looked back and saw that my sister was still in the same place. I reminded her, "sister, let's go."

Shen Qing looks up at the sky. The clouds are less than in the morning. It is estimated that the sun will come out soon. Today will be a sunny day. He followed the stone to the back of the house.

The thatched cottage is said to be at the foot of the mountain, but it will take about one or two kilometers to get to the entrance of the mountain. It's obviously colder here than in the village. There are not many trees here. Looking up, there is a faint path winding up. It is estimated that it was trampled by someone who went hunting in the mountains before. Looking up the path, there are more trees and shrubs. Looking along the foot of the mountain towards the village, I found that this one is stretching down to the East.

Shitoukan's sister looked at the village all the time and said, "this mountain is called Qinghuai mountain. It turns out that there are hunters hunting in it. But our village is close to the Qingxi River, and the land is fertile, so the villagers don't want to venture into the mountains any more, and they all change to grow grain. But I still go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood. " Stone know, sister's brain disease is not good, not wait for Shen Qing asked what, stone will consciously explain to sister.

"Well." Should be a, Shen Qing said that he knew, then along the fuzzy path to the mountains.

The sun does not know when it has warmed the earth. The leaves of the trees in the forest almost all fall off and fall on the ground. Because of the rain a few days ago, they are sticky. Stepping on the leaves is soft, which reminds Shen Qing of the thick carpet in her bedroom in her previous life.

Shen Qing watched the trees and the fallen leaves on the ground. This is a broad-leaved forest. Its geographical location should be temperate or subtropical. At the end of October, although it is cold at night, it is still cool and comfortable during the day.

He picked up two long sticks, handed one to the stone, and took the chopper from the stone. They walked along the mountain road, and the more they walked, the thicker the leaves were. Shen Qing drags the fallen leaves with a stick, hoping to find something.

Passing by a bush, Shen Qing hears a strong cumin fragrance, which reminds her of the days when she was crazy about eating Shaochuan in China. A closer look, a short plant, above a bit of dark yellow fruit particles. It's fennel! Many delicious barbecues are inseparable from this.

Shen Qing had only a firewood chopper in her hand, so she began to harvest from the stem. "Sister, what are you doing with this? It tastes so strange. It's not a wild vegetable and can't be eaten. " Stone see elder sister cut these plants, remind a way.

"It's a good thing. You'll know how to use it when you go back. First, help my sister spread out the cloth and wrap it with cloth. " Then he untied the cloth from his waist and handed it to the stone.

Stone know sister brain problems, should not cut these useless taste strange things, but do not want to make sister unhappy, obedient to do.

Shen Qing cut a large area and felt that her arms were a little sour. He took up his work. Wrap the plants in cloth. Keep going.

Climb a hillside, turn a corner, a brown bright spot into the line of sight of Shen Qing, Ding Qing a look, is still wrapped in a shell in the chestnut! Chestnut, good thing. It's the king of dried fruits. It's rich in starch, protein and B vitamins. Forget what else. But it's good for your health. You can eat it as a staple food. Eyes swept forward, full of a shell with thorns, are open. Shen Qing squatted down, picked up one, peeled open the shell, and took out two big chestnuts, round on one side and smooth on the other.

Stone see Shen Qing squatting on the ground with something to fiddle with, quickly step forward to squat down to see. "Sister, what's this? What's the use? "

"It's called chestnut. It's edible and delicious." Shen Qing raised the two chestnuts in her hand and returned. Two chestnuts almost filled her little hand.

"Chestnuts? Never heard of it. How could my sister know? My mother hasn't done this for us before. " The stone took one from Shen Qing's hand and observed it carefully.

Shen Qing knew that she had let out a slip of the tongue, and quickly added: "I also saw it from my father's book before, so I wrote it down."

"Didn't my sister forget the past? How do you remember that? " Stone to himself, and seems to be said to Shen Qing listen.

Shen Qing knew that if she continued the discussion, it would be difficult for her to fulfill her words. She said hastily, "I don't know that. Don't talk about this. Let's pick it up first. Remember, take off the prickly shell on the outside, we only need the one on the inside. Be careful not to get it While talking, he picked up a shell beside him and showed it to the stone.

The stone also picked up one and did as her sister did. The shell is a little hard, so it's not easy to take out the chestnuts. It's hard for a thin finger not to touch the sharp thorn on the shell.

Shen Qing opened the cloth bag containing fennel and moved the fennel to the side to make room for the peeled chestnuts.The sun is stronger than in the morning. It shines on the body through the branches. Squatting in the shadow of the tree, I feel a little chilly. It's supposed to be noon. They haven't eaten since the morning. Now it's lunch time. There's a grunt in their stomach from time to time.

Shen Qing saw that there were a lot of chestnuts on the cloth. Her fingers were black and painful. The Stone said nothing and was still peeling the chestnuts.

"Stone, let's not pick it up. Let's go back and have something to eat first. We'll have this at noon, and we'll make it up to you at night. " Shen Qing stood up, stamped his numb legs, went to the stone and took his hand. The fingers of the stone are also black, and some of them have been punctured. Shen Qing painfully blew the finger that blows stone, ask a way: "ache?" "No pain. I'd like to peel more. I can keep more. God The stone took back his hand, rubbed it against him, and looked at the chestnuts on the cloth, hoping they would be more.

"Let's go back first and come back in the afternoon. Maybe we can get some small animals, so we don't have to eat fish." Shen Qing put away the cloth, tied a few knots on the corner, put it in her hand, and prepared to go down the mountain.
