Chapter 8: Up the Mountain
The second uncle's eyes were weak, his eyes shook twice, and he said with a smile, "No, no, I don't want it, don't tell your brother, last time he said that I would break my leg if I drank and gambled again, I won't do it, no!" ”
Xiao Tao saw that he was unproductive, and he really hated iron in his heart, but the eldest brother's talent identity was still very good, and he said fiercely, "You should break your legs, and lying on the bed is better than harming people!" If you come back to me, I'll really let my brother break your legs, and no one will help you speak! ”
"Hey, hey! Tao Er became an official lady, she has a long ability, she doesn't even take the second uncle in her eyes, and she broke your second uncle's leg, you dare! It's really getting bigger and smaller, and your door-slamming mother is afraid that she won't be able to teach any good children! ”
Xiao Tao Niang saw that the old lady also came out to arrange her daughter and herself, and was pulled by Xiao Tao's father as soon as she wanted to come out.
Xiao Tao turned his head and saw his grandmother standing at the door. I glared at the old lady and thought to myself how you could be everywhere! This nonsense old lady loves this second child and her two daughters the most, and her heart is confused by shit, and she can't tell the good from the bad! Funny in my heart, I raised my eyebrows and said
"That's better than you, but my mother gave birth to a showman! And my eldest brother can say, when he becomes the champion, he will invite a lady to my mother, and my grandmother will have to kowtow when she sees it, and you will still instigate the second uncle to gamble, and you are not afraid that one day you will lose to others as a maid! ”
The old lady's face was flushed with anger, her chest fell together, and she pointed at Xiao Tao, "You dead girl!" I'm your milk, my mouth is so poisonous, I don't deserve to be married, no one wants it! ”
Xiao Tao didn't pay attention to them, I wish no one wanted them! glared at the second uncle, and was about to kick him again, the second uncle quickly dodged the corners of his mouth, shrunk his neck, and then went out and didn't know where to go.
The second aunt looked at Xiao Tao with a grateful face, sniffled, wiped her tears, and went back to the house with the cloth.
"Daddy, I'll go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables, and let's go!"
"Ai! Got it! Xiao Tao Niang responded proudly, and after listening to Xiao Tao say that she could still be a lady, she was thinking about the scene of the old lady and other women in the village kowtowing to herself.
Xiao Tao didn't know his mother's brain picture, otherwise he would definitely die of laughter.
I took the back basket and a small shovel at the door and went out, took a deep breath of fresh air, exhaled the stuffy breath that I had accumulated all morning, and was in a much better mood, ready to go up the mountain to have a look.
Walking directly through the dirt road about ten meters wide in front of the door, you can go down to the creek, the bottom of the stream is not much higher than the road surface, it is just over one meter, and it is all gravel slopes.
There was little flow in the creek, and it was easy to cross to the opposite side and up the slope I saw yesterday.
Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and relying on the water to draft the water, the mountain at this time is a big treasure, and the people in the village generally only know wild vegetables, and they don't know anything about herbs.
Xiao Tao went up the mountain while picking a long bunch of tender wild vegetables, purslane, bitter chrysanthemum, almond vegetables, these common are still known, and wild vegetables are rich in nutrition.
Xiao Tao hummed a little tune, oops! Fortunately, I lived in my grandmother's house when I was a child, and behind my grandmother's house was the mountain.
Of course, the main reason is that her parents are divorced, her father wants her brother, and her mother has a hard time taking her, and she doesn't want to drag her down, but fortunately, her grandparents are willing to want her.
Grandpa often takes her to the mountains to play, he is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he studied medicine because of his influence, although he has only studied for two years, but he often accompanies his grandfather to collect medicine, go to the clinic, or know a lot, otherwise now it is really a black eye.
"Yikes! Lentinula edodes! ”
Xiao Tao excitedly ran to the bottom of a big tree, and there was a large patch of mushrooms that had just emerged. Excited, hurriedly bent down to pick.
"Is Xiao Tao you?"
Xiao Tao held a shiitake mushroom and looked back, "Pillar? ”
The pillar held a sickle and walked over with a smile on his face, "Xiao Tao, it's really you!" They said you're back, I don't believe it yet, that, how are you? Can't go back to town? ”
Xiao Tao looked at the strong and honest pillar, with good facial features, a height of about 1.75 meters, protruding muscles, and healthy wheat-colored skin, which was very manly.
After a turn of thought, he said lukewarmly, "Of course I want to go back, I'm Xiucai's sister, when my brother gets the top prize, I'm going to marry into a rich family, I still have something to do, go first!" Also, don't follow me! ”
Then he got up and hurried up the hill.
Zhuzi looked disappointed, his heart was depressed, he turned his head and walked on another road, Xiao Tao has been gone for more than two years, and he looks forward to her coming back every day, but! Alas! Never mind!
Xiao Tao walked for a while, looked back and saw that the pillar did not follow, and breathed a sigh of relief, the original owner had always looked down on him, thinking that he was rough, his family was poor, and the pillar mother did not like the original owner.
Although he doesn't care, he has no feelings for him, and he doesn't want to marry yet, so to avoid his wife marrying him, let's do it as before!
Xiao Tao looked up and saw that he was about to reach the top, so he quickened his pace, climbed to the top of the slope with his hands and feet, and suddenly changed a piece of heaven and earth, a flat land about the size of an acre, only some trees in the distance, there was a faint sound of water, and the wild flowers were blooming on it, which was really pleasing to the eye!
Don't have a cave!
Xiao Tao dressed in flowers, and then picked all kinds of wild vegetables and some ordinary medicinal herbs, such as plantain, dandelion, duck plant, prunella, there are a lot, these are just weeds in the eyes of the old peasants, no one cares.
Xiao Tao picked up the bamboo basket after a while, and then continued forward, and the high mountain that was close to the slope stood in front of him, and he looked up, "Wow! It's majestic! Straight up and down, just like a knife, there are occasionally clusters of small white flowers in the cracks of the stones, which is really unique! ”
Xiao Tao was tired with his neck, his eyes were dizzy, and he looked around, it seemed that the foot of this mountain was surrounded by such a big slope.
"Is that if you can go around the mountain by yourself, but it doesn't seem like you can finish it in a day."
Walking to the mountain, Xiao Tao saw that there were three caves at the bottom of the mountain, and there were dilapidated doors, "Is there anyone living here?" ”
Xiao Tao approached, the door creaked and opened, but immediately dusty, Xiao Tao covered his nose with his coat, looked at it, there were thirty square meters in size, oval dome hole, there were some weeds on the ground, rotten wood.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned, "Is this that kind of cave?" Maybe the people who used to live here lived here, right? ”
Look at the other two, and they're all the same.
Xiao Tao squinted his eyes and was in a happy mood, "Hehe! It's okay, come and clean up, and you can live an independent and isolated life,"
