10. Chestnut tree

Jiang Wan couldn't control how Pei You was entangled, she even hoped that Pei You would be more entangled, think about her more, and be more disturbed by her actions. After finishing her daily flirtatiousness, she was ready to go to the mountains to pick some more leaves, but she had already used up her previous picks.

It was already afternoon, and no one was washing by the creek, and the west side of the village was very quiet. Most of the time, Yamashita Village is a quiet and peaceful place, with men working in the fields, women doing household chores at home, or chatting in groups of three or five while doing embroidery, while the younger children run around the village, and the older ones have started to help the family.

Jiang Wan's family is not close to the people of Shanxia Village because of her reputation, and the best relationship with the Jiang family is Xu Guanghai's family, sometimes Xu Guanghai's wife Ma Xiumei will come to Xu Fenggu to say some gossip, but she is Lizheng's wife after all, and she will help deal with some trivial things on weekdays, and she has to have a good relationship with most of the villagers in Shanxia Village, so the number of times she comes to Jiang's house is not much. There is no one to chat, and the news that Xu Fenggu gets has always lagged behind. For example, Xu Daniu deliberately spread that Jiang Wan was hooking up with Pei You, and Xu Fenggu, as the party concerned's family, did not know about it, and on the other side, Pei You's mother Xu Chunying almost did not participate in the gathering of the women in the village, so naturally she didn't know.

Jiang Wan leisurely climbed up the hill and walked behind the tree where she had eavesdropped on the woman's speech to pick the big leaves. There are not many plants growing here, Jiang Wan picked a few, and the rest was either too small or too many wormholes, so she walked inside, and after walking for a long time, she found the same leaf again.

After picking more than a dozen pieces, Jiang Wan was about to put her hands back, she just straightened up, and suddenly felt that her feet were loose, and her body couldn't help but fall into the lush grass on the side, but when she threw herself into the grass, she found that it was not solid soil underneath, but empty!

So, Jiang Wan slid down the slope and stopped after sliding to the end.

"It hurts to death...... Jiang Wan looked down at her somewhat bruised palm, and slowly got up depressedly. She patted the grass clippings on her body and tried to walk a few steps, but the rest of her body was not uncomfortable, it seemed that she was lucky enough not to hurt her muscles and bones.

It's just that the leaves she picked before broke a little in the process of falling, and she had to pick them again.

Jiang Wan picked up a large leaf that was still intact, but found a strangely shaped brown object under the leaf, she looked at it curiously, and made sure that it was not the residue of animal excrement after weathering, so she squatted down and picked it up.

It's actually chestnuts!

After identifying what it was, Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and swept her eyes out, there were many bursting chestnuts scattered on the ground, and not far away, there was a tree about ten meters high, and the branches were full of thorny fruits.

That's a chestnut tree!

Jiang Wan hurriedly ran over happily, counting this one, there were actually six chestnut trees here. It is now the beginning of August of the lunar calendar, the season when the chestnuts are ripe, and the ground is full of chestnuts that have fallen to the ground after they have matured, and many of them have been rotten because they have been on the ground for a long time.

Jiang Wan immediately forgot what she had come to do, happily picked up the intact chestnuts on the ground, piled them aside, and only stopped reluctantly when she realized that she couldn't take such a big pile by herself.

Scooped up a lot of chestnuts and put them in the hem of her skirt, Jiang Wan carefully carried them, turned her head and feet and crawled back.

There are few hunters in Shanxia Village, originally Pei Tiezhu was a family, and there was a Li Orion in the east of the village. Grandma Mountain is very large, there are many villages gathered around the mountain, and the west of the village is a little far away from another village, and no one goes up the mountain on weekdays, since Pei Tiezhu, this piece has grown freely, I don't know when the chestnut trees here have entered the full fruit period, and it is just cheap Jiang Wan who strayed into here.

Finally climbed up to the place where she fell, and an animal suddenly sprang out of the grass and ran quickly in front of Jiang Wan's eyes, so frightened that she almost fell back again. She let out a long sigh of relief, and looked back to see that in the somewhat dim night, the unknown animal was no longer visible. Just now she seemed to see a chicken in its mouth, and it was still a chicken with white hair on its head.

She shrugged, not too concerned. Anyway, it's not her chicken, and it has nothing to do with her.

Jiang Wan picked some big leaves, hid all the chestnuts in the leaves, and then went home happily. She will not sue others for the preservation of these chestnut trees. This is what she discovered, it is hers, and she doesn't want anyone to share it. Speaking of which, her first pot of gold in ancient times may depend on these chestnuts!

After Jiang Wan returned home, she immediately found Xu Fenggu and told her about the wild chestnut trees she had found in the mountains.

Xu Fenggu was still a little unconvinced, until Jiang Wan piled the large pile of chestnuts she picked up in front of Xu Fenggu.

Xu Fenggu said strangely: "It's strange, when did we have more chestnut trees on the mountain behind us?" ”

"Mother, I saw it when I accidentally slipped down, and it's not the direction you go to get firewood on weekdays, so it's normal that you didn't find it." Jiang Wan's eyes were full of silver now, and her face was full of excitement, "There are five or six chestnut trees in total, the ones on the trees are too tall to pick, but there are a lot of them that have fallen on the ground and are not rotten." ”

Xu Fenggu's attention was different: "Wanwan, you fell?" Let my mother see, where are you hurt? ”

Jiang Wan hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and said hurriedly: "Mother, what kind of injury can I suffer!" You didn't listen to me! Let's go pick up more chestnuts and come back, and when we turn around and are found by others, we won't have our share! ”

Xu Fenggu was angry and funny: "Wanwan, when did you get into the eyes of money?" What should be ours is ours, what shouldn't be ours, even if we think about it, it's useless. ”

Xu Fenggu is a very easy person to satisfy and be at peace with what happens, as long as the family is safe, she doesn't have too many ideas and pursuits for being rich and rich.

"The fact that I discovered this chestnut tree today means that God has appointed me as their master." Jiang Wan said seriously, "If the sky is with you, I don't dare not want it!" Mother, we can't help but listen to God! ”

"Where did you get so many crooked truths!" Xu Fenggu sneered.

Jiang Wan said trickly: "Mother, you just say that it makes sense!" ”

Xu Fenggu smiled: "Okay, okay, my daughter is reasonable." ”

While the two were talking, Jiang Funian and Jiang Gu came back from the field. Seeing this, Jiang Wan excitedly told her about discovering the chestnut tree.

Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu are the same kind of people, and they didn't react much when they heard it, but Jiang Gu's eyes lit up with excitement: "Sister, really?" Are we going to make a fortune? ”

"You little money fan, the whole person has fallen into the eyes of money, haven't you?" Jiang Wan smiled and gave Jiang Gu what Xu Fenggu said about her, "If you can't make a big fortune, you can still have a small fortune." ”

At this moment, the sky is dark, the black lights are blind, if the light to go up the target is too big, it is inconvenient not to light the light and touch the dark, so the family decided to go up the mountain early the next morning, while the people in the village have not yet gotten up. Fortunately, his house is remote, and they may hide it if they move too much.

This night, Jiang Wan was so excited that she almost didn't fall asleep, her mind was full of white flowers, and she forgot about hooking up with Pei You.
