Chapter 19 The Wooden House in the Mountains
Chapter 19 Wooden House in the Mountains ()
"Then what should we do?" Shen Min asked.
"Yes, the Ganoderma lucidum on the roadside is useless if you don't pick it. Besides, if you don't accept the gift from heaven, you will be eaten by it. Do you understand?" Naruto said angrily.
"I say Naruto, don't think that you are a cultured person just because you have read two bad books, okay? People who have gone to university don't say anything, but you are just a junior high school student who has only studied for a few days, and you are always
It's all chattering here." Lao Qi, who was standing next to him, finally spoke after listening for a long time. I bet he couldn't stand Naruto's behavior.
Naruto's eyes rolled over when he heard this, which made him angry. In the past, Naruto went to junior high school after finishing elementary school. After a few days of studying, he couldn't stand the kind of being restrained by others, so he stopped studying.
, he followed his old man to fish peacefully. However, he was self-taught, and now he can even understand classical Chinese. He also studied oracle bones for a while, but then gave up, and he doesn’t know why. He usually doesn’t like people saying that
These things Lao Qiyi said now made him angry.
"Then let's dig this thing out and hide it aside. Otherwise, let's put it on the roadside and let others take it away." Le Lang hurriedly spoke to Ni Ni, otherwise Naruto and Lao Qi would argue with each other later.
Everyone deserves it.
So, everyone started to dig out the huge black Ganoderma lucidum. After digging for a while, they found a piece of rotten tree root underneath the large piece of Black Ganoderma lucidum. There was a faint fragrance from the root of the tree, and the rhizome of the black Ganoderma lucidum was tight.
He grabbed the whole root of the tree, which made everyone stumped. Dig it hard. This Ganoderma root must be playing tricks on you. If you don’t dig it, you won’t be safe if you leave it here.
"Otherwise, let's cover it up first and dig it out when we get back. Otherwise, we won't have anything to dig out. Besides, it's not worth anything. There's a saying that goes: 'I'm lucky when I get it, but I'm lucky when I lose it.'
Fate'?" Naruto distorted the ancients' words again.
Everyone discussed it and decided to adopt Naruto's opinion. Anyway, no one came here. It has not been taken away for so long. Now that it is taken away, there is nothing to say. So, everyone worked together to take the Ganoderma lucidum.
Cover it and keep moving forward.
Le Lang found a moment, turned around and slipped back, wanting to see if he could put the black Ganoderma lucidum into the space. He was really worried about putting it here. With a thought in his heart, a thought covered the Ganoderma lucidum and the roots of the tree.
In an instant, all the strength in Lelang's body rushed towards the tree roots and Ganoderma lucidum. Sweat broke out on his head, and his face turned pale. At this moment, the tree roots and Ganoderma lucidum disappeared. Lelang suddenly felt his whole body relax, and his whole body
Feeling weak, his stomach growled. He didn't expect that it would take so much effort to move a tree root. It's really not a human job. Le Lang thought to himself.
After taking a short rest, they quickly caught up with Naruto and the others. When Shenmin saw Le Lang, he couldn't help but be startled. He saw Le Lang's lips turned white, faint sweat on his head, and he looked weak.
"Alang, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Everyone asked with concern.
"It's okay. I just had a bowel movement and I'm a little hungry. I'll just eat something and take a rest." But he was secretly annoyed in his heart. He couldn't do this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise he would risk his life. Waiting for Lelang
After eating and taking a rest, their faces returned to normal. Then everyone felt relieved, packed up and continued on their way.
Now they are still on the outskirts of Dayu Mountain, and it is difficult to see any animals. However, a few hares and pheasants jumped and escaped. This time, they were not so lucky, and they didn't even catch a hair. Dayu
There is a virgin forest in the mountain, which is a place where few people set foot. I heard that there are still some surviving tigers roaming there, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
This piece of Dayu Mountain, in fact, cannot be called Dayu Mountain but Dayu Mountain Range. It has a radius of hundreds of miles, like a giant dragon winding and lying on the border of Fujian and Guangdong. It is rich in species, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and is close to the nearest small town.
It takes about an hour, and this is the result of the cement road now being built.
There are several villages scattered next to the Dayu Mountains, one of which is Xiaoxi Village. Among these villages, Xiaoxi Village has the largest population, so it is relatively stronger. The surrounding villagers have always guarded this mountain forest like their own mothers, and never treated the trees.
Cutting and logging without going into the old forest for hunting gives the animals and plants in the forest some space to survive and thrive.
The people of Xiaoxi Village are particularly harsh on this point. They cannot cut down the trees around the village. Even if they are cut down, they have to plant another tree themselves, otherwise they will be punished by the village. The villagers of Xiaoxi regard themselves as the guardians of this mountain forest. Every year
People are stationed on patrol in the mountains to prevent poaching and felling of trees.
The reason why Xiaoxi Village did this is said to be caused by a tragedy that happened in the past. At that time, the people in Xiaoxi Village did not have the awareness to protect the mountains and forests, and they cut down trees indiscriminately and opened up wasteland for farming. It can be said that there was not an inch of wood anywhere as far as the eye could see.
Finally, one spring, something terrible happened. Flash floods broke out and landslides occurred one after another. Under this natural disaster, only ten people in the village were left alive. Only then did they realize their mistake.
So, under the guidance of the leader, the surviving people returned farmland to forest and began to silently protect this mountain forest, which was passed down from generation to generation. Facts have proved that protecting the mountain forest is to protect oneself. From then on, nothing happened in Xiaoxi Village.
Major floods and landslides. In that era of famine and cannibalism, they even relied on the wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains to survive the most difficult times.
Le Lang and his group walked forward slowly. As they walked, a small path appeared in front of them. There was no grass growing on the path. It seemed that this road was often walked by people. As they walked further, a green bamboo forest appeared in front of them. A bamboo forest appeared in front of them.
The greenery is not the scene of fallen leaves in autumn and winter at all. Walking along the path in the bamboo forest, in the distance is a wooden house built with wood. It is very simple and it is covered with thatch. I don’t know if it is a building from ancient times.
There was a simple fence made of bamboo around the wooden house, and there were several vegetable plots inside, which were growing well. When the bamboo door covered by the fence was pushed open, a dog barked, and Lao Liu gave a shout, and the sound disappeared immediately.
"Your dog? So obedient?" Le Lang asked with a look of disbelief.
"You don't know, his father lives here now." Shen Min saw Le Lang's puzzled look and said to him.
The people who guard the mountains and forests basically change every month, but Zi Che Qiucai and his father are here not because it is his turn to guard the mountains, but because Zi Che Qiucai has planted some things here, and he comes over from time to time to take care of them.
.
A group of people walked into the wooden house and saw that it was a typical two-bedroom and one-living room. The room was not big. The things inside were complete, including TVs, tables and chairs. The electricity and food here were all from the village, and even the TV was from the village.
Yes, it's just a little far away from the village, otherwise it's really a good place to retire.
The founder of Xiaoxi Village is also enshrined in the hall. To the right of the founder is a military commander holding an eight-edged sledgehammer, and to the left is a civil servant holding a writing pen. This is a typical rural feature of southern Fujian. The ancestors of southern Fujian came here.
When they came here to open up wasteland and expand the land, later generations worshiped statues in order to commemorate these ancestors, so it has been passed down from ancient times to the present, forming a kind of folk culture.
Every household in Xiaoxi Village worships Grandmaster Kaiji at home, and some also enshrine statues of other gods next to them, such as God Xuantian, Emperor Guansheng, Guanyin, etc. However, Patriarch Kaiji must be there.
It's in the middle, and it's the largest one.
When he came to the house, Naruto put the harpoon aside, skillfully took out a large porcelain pot from it, found a bag of tea leaves from a drawer, picked up the hot water bottle placed next to him, and started brewing.
After that, I poured myself a cup and lay down on a chair to drink tea leisurely. Seeing how skillful he was, it goes without saying that he must be a regular visitor here.
While drinking tea, Naruto ordered: "Shenmin, go and wash the rice and cook. The sixth one will kill the rabbit. The seventh one will light the fire and pick some vegetables in the garden. Although the vegetable bugs can bite the rats, they can't be eaten by rats."
That's about it, Alang goes to cook, it's three o'clock, the little kid doesn't have to do anything at three o'clock, we'll wait for dinner later, let's do it ourselves, lest Lao Liu and his father always say that we come to him every day
He's eating here without paying the food fee, so let him try our chef's skills today."
"Naruto-san, you made waves at the corner of your mouth when you said it, but why didn't I hear what you were going to do?" Lao Liu said teasingly.
"What are you doing? You're doing what you're doing. Later, I'll catch some fish, get some mountain crabs, and boil some soy sauce water for dinner." Everyone was speechless after hearing this, but they didn't stop. At that moment, Lao Liu left Lelang.
They took out rabbits and ran outside to kill them. Shen Min also ran out to wash and cook rice, and Lao Qi also went to pick vegetables. However, Lelang took a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea. Sanlang looked at
I also took a chair and sat down in a decent manner, and at three o'clock, I followed suit and sat beside me.
"You are good at summoning people. You will take Saburo out for a walk later." Le Lang said to Naruto while drinking tea.
"Well, okay, let's teach him how to catch mountain crabs today." Naruto grabbed the tea cup with one hand and drank it in one gulp. He waved to Saburo and said, "Sanro, let's go." After that, he took Saburo and Sando.
He walked out majestically. He met Che Shenfu, the old man who had just returned from Lao Liu. Zi Che Shenfu was holding a basket in his hand. The basket contained fresh fungus and mountain mushrooms, as well as a bunch of mountain green onions, left and right.
He was also holding a pheasant in each hand.
"Uncle Afu, you're back. Wow, what a big pheasant. It seems like you're going to have a good meal today." Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw the two pheasants held by Zi Che Shenfu. These pheasants were not easy to catch.
.Naruto has also caught it, but often when the fork flies over, there is only a piece of chicken feathers left, not even one out of ten.
"Naruto, here you go, where are you going? This is Saburo, right?" Ziche Shenfu asked with a smile.
"Grandpa." Sanlang called politely. It has been a while since Lelang came back. Most people in the village knew that he was back and he also picked up a boy named "Sanlang", but most of them only heard his name but never saw him.
