Chapter 48 Chestnut Tree (2/2)



In fact, he also heard it from his grandmother. Yezi Mountain is a forbidden area in Yangjia Village. In the early years, when bandits were rampant, the village chief sent the children to the mountains to avoid disaster in order to protect the young and strong people in the tribe.

Who would have thought that most of the people who escaped the bandits would be killed in the Yezi Mountain? The clan leader was so angry that he fell ill and issued a ban, requiring the people of Yangjia Village to stay away from the mountain as much as possible.

Because of its bad luck, everyone tries to avoid it.

After listening to Yang Liansheng's explanation, Qin Qing instantly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the back of his head. It was very cool and eerie under the tree under the clear sky.

She tugged at Yang Liansheng's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Liansheng, hurry up and pack the chestnuts. Let's go back soon."

Seeing Qin Qing frightened like a quail, Yang Liansheng felt a little bit sorry in his heart. In fact, although the villagers exaggerated the horror of this place, he had been here more than once or twice and knew that as long as he didn't go deep into the mountains, there would be no problem.

If they were not from other villages, he would not dare to guarantee that they would have the courage to follow him here.

I came here just to take them to find something to eat, and now that I've found it, I'm going home.

Yang Liansheng put all the remaining chestnuts into his backpack and covered it tightly with some wild hemp grass.

On the way back, Qin Qing found that the green visible to the naked eye was gradually decreasing.

She felt a little worried, which was not a good sign.

After parting with Yang Liansheng in a hurry, the two hurried back home. As expected, Zhu Lihua was very worried at home.

"Where have you been? Goudan has searched all over the hills but can't find you."

Shitou said vaguely, "Aren't they all on the mountain? I just missed them."

As he spoke, he poured out all the chestnut balls in the basket.

Zhu Lihua widened her eyes and asked, "What is this? Chestnut!"

Her rough fingers broke the skin, revealing the turmeric flesh inside. Zhu Lihua's expression was mixed with surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did you pick it?"

These are perfectly ripe chestnuts.

"Mom, don't worry about where we picked them. Someone brought us here. This is all we have left. Don't go out and tell anyone."

Shitou shook the fallen leaves in the basket, showing his rare alertness.

"Does mom look so eccentric?" Since she was not allowed to ask, she was too lazy to ask. Two baskets of chestnuts this big could be kept for a long time after being dried.

The young man had just brought up the idea of ​​dividing the family. Zhang Ying wanted to see what good this man would get if he left her. She sat at the table and ate her steamed buns with glutinous rice noodles slowly.

Soft, sweet and delicious.

Seeing Yang Liansheng coming in, she glanced at him from the side. The young man had been out for most of the day and had actually picked a basket of weeds.

Useless thing.

The young man didn't even glance over and just took out the wild hemp grass.

Zhang Ying sneered in his heart, this idiot, he wouldn't eat this grass for dinner, would he?

When Zhang Ying saw the young man take out a large handful of wild chestnuts from the backpack, he laughed out loud.

This thing is covered with thorns. Can it be eaten?

Is Yang Liansheng crazy?

The young man was busy making fire and cooking all the chestnuts. When he saw the water gradually boiling in the pot, a smile appeared in his eyes.

When the young man sat under the eaves with his long legs bent and quietly peeled chestnuts, the flesh looked edible. Yang Liansheng ate one by one, feeling very happy.

Smelling the sweet fragrance in the air, Zhang Ying's face looked a little ugly.

Unfortunately, what he said in the morning was like spilled water. Now it would be harder than climbing to the sky to ask him to bring the food.

"No wonder you're so eager to break up. Apparently you've already thought of a way out..."

The young man glanced at her without saying a word.

Zhang Ying snorted and went straight into the house. It was just a few fruits. What was so special about them? She didn't believe he could eat them for the rest of his life.

Sooner or later he will starve to death.
