Since he was reborn in Qingxi Village, Yunshu has not had a day of sleep, and he got up earlier than usual.

Because today is the day when the village organizes to go to the mountains to pick mountain goods.

Qingxi Village is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains around it are naturally within the scope of Qingxi Village. Although it has been included in the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, except that it cannot be cut down indiscriminately, there are no restrictions on the villagers. Many villagers even do not understand the meaning of the reserve. After all, no one dares to enter the deep mountains and forests.

What, protect rare vegetation and animals?

On the surface: protect, follow the leaders, and must be protected.

In secret, everyone couldn't help but underestimate it in private. What are these rare vegetation and animals? Rare must be valuable, right?

However, although everyone is weak in legal awareness these days, they are timid. When they hear the criticism and the police station and jail terms are honest. In addition, they dare not enter the mountains and forests, so they are still peaceful.

There is a saying that poor mountains and rivers come from unruly people. If you really can’t survive, if you have one in ten thousand chances and hopes to survive, who is willing to be that unruly person!

Of course, there are good things, and there are bad things. This is not absolute. For example, those poachers specialize in selling fur, deer antler, and tiger bones, even if they are hunting hunters, they will beat them to death if they can. They say that they are not determined by each other.

It’s a bit off topic, but I just say that Qingxi Village is surrounded by mountains, so naturally it’s up to the mountains to earn the mountains.

Mushrooms, wild vegetables, and prey are of course of whom, but the elders who founded Qingxi Village were very smart and developed pecans, pine nuts, hazelnuts, and chestnuts into scale. Now they are naturally collective. In the mature season, villagers patrol and guard the village alternately, which is the most important source of income for Qingxi Brigade.

Today, the whole village is dispatched to take advantage of the weather to pick these dried fruits back, choose them to dry them, and then sell them to the purchase station.

Nowadays, everyone who works is calculating the work points, males are 10 points, females are 8 points, and females are 4 points, and younger than ten years old. If you are younger, you will be given two points.

So as long as the village is not the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, even five or six years old followers up the mountain.

The main reason was that in the past, the family only allowed children to play at the foot of the mountain, and they were not allowed to enter the mountain without permission.

But the wild fruits at the foot of the mountain have long been harmed by the children. Now, following them into the mountain, not only can you bring home a lot of wild fruits, but you can also eat them with your belly open. Therefore, the few days you enter the mountain are the happiest days for the children, and you are happier than the New Year.

Children as old as Da Ya and Da Zhuang had already remembered the three-year famine from 1959 to 1962. Although they did not starve to death when they were close to the mountains and forests, they did not have much food.

Grassroots, leaves, insects...that can be eaten but not eaten, the villagers have eaten it. Yun Shu saw those scenes from Da Ya himself, and was really glad that he had arrived two years later.

During the years of the Great Famine, let alone a bumper harvest in autumn, everyone picked up the unripe fruits as early as the spring and summer seasons.

It was only in the past two years that the brigade cadres were in strict management that the mountains and forests around the village took a breath.

This year is the first time since the Crowd Famine, Qingxi Village organized a large-scale picking activity. When everyone thought of the money they could get when they sold the mountain goods, they were as happy as the New Year.

...

Yunshu and his brother had breakfast, took out their tools and backpacks, and sent Xiaozhuang to Wangye's house, and brought out another Haichuan.

Haichuan also carried a small willow basket on his back and set out with Yunshu and Dazhuang. The road was filled with villagers walking towards the foot of the mountain. Everyone carried a willow basket on his back and held all kinds of things.

In September of Changbai Mountain, the weather has turned colder. After a few autumn rains, it is snowing immediately. People are racing against time to hope to get the mountain goods back when the weather is good these days.

Yunshu's basket is not big, with daggers, hatchets, matches, hemp ropes, and an empty aluminum lunch box.

Dazhuang carried the corn cakes made by Yunshu, a can of dried fish and shredded pickles, and a military kettle cross-body.

Like Yunshu's brothers, Haichuan also took a chopping knife, two dough cakes and pickles. His family did not have a military kettle, so he took an enamel jar to boil water and drink it.

The most inexpensive thing in the mountains is the clear stream of mountain springs. People in the village are used to drinking raw water. When they are thirsty, they will drink water without getting sick.

Haichuan also knew that Ye Wangye studied medicine. There are many bacteria in raw water, and children have low immunity. It is better to boil the raw water before drinking it.

The three followed the villagers to the foot of the mountain. Two or three hundred people gathered at the foot of the mountain, but they didn't hear a word at this moment, just because the people in the mountain held a large-scale event, and the sacrifice was held, also known as "sacrifice to the mountain".

The so-called "sacrifice for the mountain" means preparing sufficient tributes and worshiping at the mountain temple or the temporary palace set up at the mountain. The famous "gunner" or experienced old man should take the lead and arrange fruit and tributes, pigs, chickens, white wine, incense and candles on the altar.

There is no mountain god temple in Qingxi Village, so I used three large stones to build a temporary mountain god temple at the entrance of the mountain. The scenery this year is not good, so I don’t need to think about the whole pigs, but there are also whole chickens, whole gooses, steamed buns, rice, wine, and incense candles.

These tributes cannot be taken back after sacrifice, but must be eaten by birds and beasts.

No matter how poor people in the mountains are, they will not be fooled by this place, because compared with the mountain goods that the mountain gods in the mountains, no one feels sorry for this thing.

Since the establishment of Qingxi Village for more than 40 years, the "gunners" who worship the mountains have been the most familiar and experienced hunters of the mountains and forests. Twenty years ago, this profession has been led by the old man of the Sun family.

Mr. Sun is just a hunter. He is almost sixty years old, but his body is still as strong as his prime. When Da Yada was young, he followed the old man to study in the mountains for a while, which can be said to have benefited for life.

Yunshu had never seen the scene of "sacrificing the mountain", but Da Ya's memory shows that in her memory, she really didn't have any mysterious colors. Moreover, based on her experience of spending fifty years in the underworld, there was no mountain god in the surrounding mountains and forests. Even if there were in the past, it would definitely be gone now.

But when the villagers, led by Mr. Sun Lie, knelt down according to their seniority and qualifications, and the sound of "please ask the mountain god to be kind" sounded outside the forest, Yun Shu truly "feeled" the "shaking" of this forest. The will that seemed to come from the heaven and earth made her kneel to the ground.

Worshiping the heaven and earth and respecting ghosts and gods is the respect given to this world by these people who rely on the heaven to make a living.

At this moment, even the naughty child is following his parents and relatives to sincerely pray to the mountain god to bless everyone to get a smooth journey and achieve a great harvest.

In fact, people are easily satisfied at this time. Eating and wearing warm clothes are their highest requirements.

After the sacrifice of the mountain, people began to enter the mountain in groups, and Yunshu couldn't help but pause when he passed by the mountain temple made of three rocks.

Yun Shu, who had truly experienced the affairs of ghosts and gods, sighed. In less than two years, the special period will begin. At that time, I am afraid that I will not even be able to secretly sacrifice.
