Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 5 Going up the mountain with my wife

"Hu...Hu..."

Lin Heng started panting after climbing the mountain for only ten minutes.

Although he was young, he was often idle. He couldn't even carry his 20-pound daughter up the mountain, but his wife didn't breathe much when she carried her.

"Give it to me, your clothes are all wet with sweat!" Chen Xiulan felt helpless and a little funny.

"Hehe...Mom..."

Lin Xiaoxia, the daughter in the backpack, grabbed Lin Heng's hair and played with it, and laughed foolishly.

"No, it will be fine after a rest, and we will be there soon."

Lin Heng found a stone and leaned on it to rest. The mountain here was not steep, but he often didn't climb it.

Chen Xiulan handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe the sweat, it's cold in the mountain, and sweating is easy to catch a cold."

"I can't spare my hands, you wipe it for me." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Chen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him. Although both hands were empty, she still came over and wiped Lin Heng's sweat carefully.

While his wife wiped her own sweat, Lin Heng looked at her face and smiled foolishly.

This made Chen Xiulan feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately there was no one in the mountain, so she wiped the sweat off Lin Heng's neck.

"Let's go." After a short rest, Chen Xiulan stood up and said.

After climbing a mountain, we arrived at the place. The woods near the house were often cut down, and there were no mushrooms. The trees on the mountain were tall and the forest was old, so there were mushrooms.

The forest in front of us was a mixture of pine forests and oak forests. As soon as we came in, we saw many big red mushrooms. This is what people often call red umbrellas and white rods in later generations. They are available from spring to autumn, and there are a lot of mushrooms.

But in fact, most red mushrooms are not poisonous and taste good.

"It seems that no one has come to pick them here yet. Let's look for pine mushrooms."

Seeing that there were no signs of people walking on the ground, Chen Xiulan was very happy and began to look around.

There are too many red mushrooms, which are not worth money. They are picked only when there are no other mushrooms.

This season. The valuable mushrooms are some mushrooms such as matsutake, morel, chanterelle, pine milk mushroom, etc. Although the mushroom resources in Qinling are not as good as those in Yunnan, they are not bad either. People have the habit of picking mushrooms since ancient times.

After walking a few steps, Lin Heng saw a pine mushroom. Pine mushroom is the customary name here, and its scientific name is pine milk mushroom.

It is orange-yellow, with thick flesh and concentric circles on the cap. The most obvious feature is that it will turn blue-green after being injured. It is also called copper green mushroom.

If you find one of these things, you will have a piece. Soon Lin Heng found dozens of them nearby and picked more than two kilograms at once.

The market collects wet ones for two cents per kilogram.

There were no more to look for, but I picked up two pretty good blue-headed mushrooms. Although they are green, they are actually a kind of red mushroom.

Mushrooms are like this, one piece at a time. Just when Lin Heng was about to change a forest, a figure on the pine tree attracted him.

A red-haired squirrel stood on a branch, looking at him stupidly. It was only five meters away and there was no cover.

Lin Heng carefully took out the slingshot from his waist and the round little stones he picked up on the way up the mountain. He aimed and was about to fire when a sound suddenly came from behind him: "Wow... pee... pee..."

The daughter's sharp cry scared the squirrel so much that it ran to the top of the tree.

Lin Heng was helpless: "..."

Putting down the backpack, Lin Heng found that his daughter had wet her diaper and pants, and she was crying there.

"You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

Lin Heng helplessly took her out of the backpack, took out the wet diaper and put it on the branch next to her, patting her back to coax her not to cry.

"Wow... wow..."

However, the more he coaxed her, the more she cried. This is how children are. They cry when they say they will cry, and there is no reason at all.

After a while, Chen Xiulan heard the voice and rushed over: "Give it to me, the child is probably hungry."

She was a little shocked to see that her husband was not angry because of his daughter's crying, and was still trying to coax the child.

After taking over her daughter, Chen Xiulan pulled up her clothes to feed her. In this era, there was no milk powder, and many children were still breastfeeding at the age of two or three.

Lin Heng looked at his wife's white skin and felt very dazzling. His young body was a little hot. His wife's capital was really big, almost as big as his daughter's head.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before!" Chen Xiulan blushed a little, mainly because of Lin Heng's perverted eyes.

"Haha, who made my wife so tempting." Lin Heng smiled and looked at his wife's backpack again. There was a pound of pine mushrooms in it.

"Too many rotten ones, otherwise I could have picked two pounds." Chen Xiulan's face was full of regret.

"Then you rest here for a while, I'll take a look around." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.

"Go, be safe, be careful of snakes and bees." Chen Xiulan nodded and reminded.

Lin Heng poured the pine mushrooms on the ground and walked into the mountain on the left. His wife just walked to the right.

He walked for more than a thousand meters but didn't see any good mushrooms. He was about to turn back, but the sound of leaves creaking in the distance startled him.

He turned his head and saw a gray squirrel on a stone three meters away.

"It's so close, I'd be sorry if I didn't hit you!"

Lin Heng sighed in his heart, quietly took out the slingshot in his hand, aimed and shot it out with a swoosh.

With a snap, it hit the squirrel's head, and the poor gray squirrel twitched twice and died.

"It seems that the accuracy is okay!" Lin Heng was very satisfied, but it was mainly too close. He hadn't touched this thing for a long time, so he was still a little worried.

He was glad that he had practiced at the archery club in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have such accuracy.

"It's about one pound, the skin can be sold for three or four yuan, and the meat is enough for a meal." Lin Heng grinned. This was the first harvest after his rebirth.

Putting the squirrel into the backpack, Lin Heng continued to move forward, thinking that he was lucky today.

Generally, squirrels will not get so close to people, and they are mostly on trees, and it is difficult to hit them with branches blocking them.

"Chanterelles!!"

After walking a few dozen meters forward, Lin Heng couldn't help but cheer. There were dozens of golden chanterelles on both sides of the path.

In his opinion, this mushroom is more delicious than pine mushrooms. It is golden, trumpet-shaped, and often has wavy edges. The price is also more expensive than pine mushrooms. It costs 30 cents per pound when wet, and it can be sold for 50 or 60 cents per pound after drying.

However, when he picked up one and tore it open, Lin Heng was speechless. It was rotten.

Sometimes he couldn't figure out how these bugs were so fast. Sometimes the newly grown mushrooms were gone in less than half a day, and there were also those newly grown small mushrooms that all had bugs.

The speed was too fast.

"Forget it, pick them up and feed them to the pigs!"

Lin Heng shook his head, thinking it was a pity.

He only picked up more than 30 good ones, about 60-70 grams, and the bad ones were more than one kilogram.

Without a watch, he didn't know how long he had been walking in the woods, so he decided to go back to find his wife.

"Xiu Lan!"

Lin Heng shouted while looking for mushrooms.

"Here, come quickly, I found something good!"

Not long after, Lin Heng heard his wife's reply, her voice was excited, as if she had found something good.
