Chapter 10 This way of dying is absolutely unacceptable
Qin Lang nodded: "Be careful, be careful on the ground and around you, don't get stabbed."
Su Jin smiled: "Well, you too!"
The shell of the chestnut is like a hedgehog. It is red, swollen and painful when it is pierced. If it is pierced a few times, it will become inflamed, and it will be red, swollen and painful for a long time.
Qin Lang opened the way ahead, Su Jin followed, and came to a small clearing in the middle of the chestnut forest overgrown with weeds and vines.
Qin Lang stepped all the weeds on the ground, chopped it down with a hatchet, and with the sound of creaky grass, he quickly cleared a small flat area.
Then the two put down the basket and went to find the chestnut.
A lot of chestnuts were blown away by the wind from the grass on the ground, but most of them were wrapped in hedgehog shells, and the thorny shell had to be smashed to get the chestnuts inside.
There were also a lot of chestnuts that fell off the tree, and the shells and chestnuts were separated. Su Jin was very happy when he picked up the deep maroon chestnuts, whose skins were bright as if they had been waxed.
Of course, there are still many empty chestnut shells on the ground, and many small animals in the mountains are also good at this, and many of the fallen chestnuts have already been taken away by them.
Su Jin carefully passed by and used wooden sticks to get as many empty chestnut shells as possible, so that when he looked for it again, he would not be confused and look at it again. At the same time, the ground was also much cleaner and safer.
The ones with more fruits are only those tall chestnut trees, the smaller ones have only leaves left, and the smaller ones don’t even bear fruit.
However, the harvest for both of them is not small.
After looking around, I harvested half a basket of chestnuts.
Heavy, all packed in Qin Lang's big backpack.
Qin Lang looked up at the thorn **** hanging on the branches and said, "I'll go up the tree and knock them down, stay away!"
Su Jin replied "yes" and quickly stepped back.
If this is hit on the head or body by a thorn ball, it will make you tremble just thinking about it!
Qin Lang climbed up the tree with a long wooden stick, stood on the branch, and hit the thorn **** on the branch. Suddenly, there was a sound of falling leaves along with the crackling sound of the thorn **** hitting the ground.
Seeing the thorn **** wrapped in chestnuts rolling down to the ground, Su Jin smiled, this is all delicious food!
Qin Lang changed several positions on the tree until he knocked out almost all the chestnuts on a big tree, and then he got off the tree.
Su Jin took a look and saw that there were still seven such big trees. If all of them were shaken down, Qin Lang's big back basket would be full.
She smiled and said, "If we have a basket full of chestnuts, we can take half of them and sell them in the city, and come back with some fabrics!"
Qin Lang glanced at her and said, "Well, it's up to you."
His tone was light, but Su Jin was very happy when he heard it, not every man would say the word "as you" in such a poor situation. This is to give her all the right to live, but he is responsible for the work.
Su Jin warmed his heart and smiled: "We will work hard for two more days to see if we can find any other good things in this forest that can be sold for a few dollars. We will definitely be able to pass this winter well."
"Yes." Qin Lang nodded lightly, and the two smiled at each other.
After picking up the chestnuts on the three wild chestnut trees, the two of them were a little tired, so they decided to eat something before continuing.
After noon, the sun will quickly become dim and the temperature will drop rapidly. After noon, it will be dry for an hour at most before going back, and come back tomorrow.
Today's lunch is still persimmons.
The persimmon trees in this season are particularly conspicuous, with bright red fruits hanging on the bare trunks.
It's just that the persimmon tree they saw today was a little far from here.
But there are many more fruits.
Su Jin said that persimmons are easy to break and not easy to carry, so he insisted on going with Qin Lang, and simply picked them and eaten there, saving trouble.
Sweet persimmons with high sugar content can be a good energy supplement. It is good to have something to eat, but there is no room for picking and choosing.
There is no need to chop down trees today. Qin Lang can do it with his hand. He picked seven or eight trees and ate them with Su Jin.
I saw that there are still many hanging on the tree, but unfortunately they are all overripe, so I couldn’t bring them back, so I had to give up. The skin will definitely be broken on the road, and it will not be able to eat at that time.
Seeing Su Jin reluctantly looking at the red persimmons on the branches, Qin Lang was a little funny, his daughter-in-law was even more eager for food than him! A few persimmons are worth the same.
"Don't look, let's go! There is nothing else in this mountain, but persimmons are not difficult to find." Qin Lang said with a two-point smile.
Su Jin said "hey", "Well, just leave some for the little animals in the mountains!"
After thinking about how unwilling it was, he pointed to the woods beside him and smiled: "I saw a lot of oak trees, fir trees, etc. growing there, maybe there are mushrooms, let's go and have a look!"
Qin Lang saw her pair of beautiful and clear eyes looking at him, eager to try with a three-point prayer, his heart softened, and nodded: "Let's go!"
said and led the way, stepping on the weeds and vines under his feet to clear the way for her.
This kind of place is almost untouched, where is the ready-made way?
This is really right.
Although there are basically no mushrooms growing in winter, there are always exceptions.
That kind of wild oyster mushroom grows at this time.
The browned color, the edges are curled and damaged, it looks sluggish, and there is nothing like the plump and plump appearance of fresh mushrooms, and there is no image at all. However, this season of mushrooms is like this.
Su Jin was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Master, we have a good time! If we look for it, maybe we can find more, take it back to dry, and eat it anytime!"
Qin Lang was skeptical.
"This mushroom - is it really edible?"
Why does he think this mushroom looks poisonous?
"Of course you can eat it!" Su Jin was beyond doubt and was extremely sure: "This is oyster mushroom, it's very common!"
very common? Qin Lang really didn't think so.
"We haven't reached that point yet, or I'd better forget it!" Qin Lang hesitated.
Die by eating mushrooms, which is absolutely unacceptable to Qin Lang.
"You don't believe me?" Su Jin was a little depressed, "In short, if I say I can eat it, I can, and I want to take it back."
Qin Lang was stagnant for a while, but in the end he couldn't beat her, so he had to agree.
Only then did Su Jin become happy. The two searched in the forest for a long time. They found about 12 or 13 catties. They pocketed them with their jackets and went back to where they came from.
In this way, plus some herbs that Su Jin had picked up at random, the two of them had already filled their backpacks, and it was time to go back.
"Let's come over tomorrow to collect the remaining chestnuts." Su Jin smiled.
Qin Lang glanced at so many mushrooms and nodded: "Okay, by the way, let's look for yam."
Back here, Su Jin put the mushrooms in a basket, Qin Lang asked her to wait here, picked a direction by himself, and went to the mountains and forests.
