Qiongzhou Island is warm and humid all year round, which is very suitable for growing flowers.
The seeds you buy from the supply and marketing cooperatives are all agricultural products, not flowers.
After breakfast, Shen Nanqing wanted to go to the mountains before the sun was too strong to see if he could dig some flowers and plants to transplant.
Although Song Huaiwen's vacation was not over, there were still many things in the group that needed his attention. He handed her a kettle full of water and reminded her, "It's very humid in the mountains. Remember to wear a pair of thick-soled rubber shoes and don't go in too deep."
Shen Nanqing stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand to smooth the frown on Song Huaiwen's face, and said with sparkling eyes: "I know! You have reminded me several times, I will just walk around at the foot of the mountain, nothing will happen."
After that, Shen Nanqing put on rubber shoes, carried a bamboo basket and a kettle and went out. As soon as he reached the door, Song Huaiwen called him again.
She stopped and looked back in confusion.
"Wait a moment." Song Huaiwen turned around and strode towards the bedroom, found peppermint oil from the drawer, then walked towards Shen Nanqing and stuffed it into her pocket, "Take this with you, it can repel mosquitoes."
Shen Nanqing rubbed the peppermint oil in his vagina, then suddenly moved closer to Song Huaiwen, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then turned and ran into the morning light, with a voice floating from afar: "Wait for me to come back and bring you the fragrance of wild flowers all over the mountains!"
Song Huaiwen showed a helpless yet doting smile on his face. He turned and went into the house, picked up the military jacket on the hanger and put it on, buttoning it up as he walked. When he walked out of the hospital, he turned into the serious and cold Song Yanwang again, with an unquestionable sense of oppression, completely different from the nagging Song Huaiwen just now.
This was an unfamiliar place. Although Shen Nanqing had asked Song Huaiwen for the route to the mountain, she didn't remember it. She just asked along the way. The villagers she met were very enthusiastic. They not only showed her the way, but also warned her not to go too deep.
There were wild beasts in this mountain originally. Later, villagers were attacked by wild beasts many times, so the army was sent to drive them away several times. As long as you don't go too deep, you are generally safe.
At the foot of the mountain, all kinds of wild flowers bloomed wantonly, and Shen Nanqing was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, waving a shovel and digging.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Nanqing's bamboo basket was filled to the brim with wild camellias, rhododendrons, wild chrysanthemums, irises, etc. She thought of the bare courtyard wall at home and continued walking up the mountain, hoping that she could find roses.
It would be beautiful if roses climbed all over the wall!
In the distance, among the layers of green, clouds and mist linger around the mountainside like a veil, and occasionally the sound of birds singing can be heard.
Shen Nanqing took a deep breath, the tip of his nose was filled with the sweet scent of grass and flowers, and even his breathing became lighter.
Her efforts paid off. She not only found some fruit trees, but also saw wild roses on the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain. After all her hard work, she returned with a full load.
Ana Shen walked down the mountain while eating wild grapes, thinking that there were really a lot of good things on the mountain, and she could come more often next time, since her yard was big anyway.
At this time, intermittent cries for help came from the depths of the dense forest. Shen Nanqing paused when he heard the sound, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After determining the direction, he walked towards the source of the sound.
Pushing aside the layers of vines, we saw a little girl with a silver bell-shaped headscarf trapped in a mossy pit. The coconut shell bracelet on her wrist made a crisp sound as she struggled.
When the little girl saw that there was really a ghost, she raised her muddy face, her almond eyes filled with tears, and begged for help: "Sister, please save me! I accidentally fell in here while going into the mountains to collect herbs. This pit is too slippery and I can't climb out at all."
“Don’t worry, I’ll pull you up right away.” Shen Nanqing quickly put down the backpack, untied the hemp rope that tied the flowers, half-knelt on the ground and threw one end down: “Hold on! Step on the bulge on the pit wall and climb slowly!”
The little girl smiled with her fangs showing immediately upon hearing this. She quickly grabbed the hemp rope and climbed up foot by foot. The wall was too slippery and she slipped down again halfway. After a long while, Shen Nanqing finally pulled her up.
This morning, Shen Nanqing was either digging the ground or rescuing people. She was exhausted and didn't care about her image at the moment. She just sat on the ground gasping for breath, and the little girl was panting in an embarrassed manner.
“Little girl, drink some water.” Shen Nanqing paused for a few seconds, and seeing that the little girl’s lips were dry, he took off the water bottle and handed it to her.
"My name is Li Ayue." The little girl licked her lips, took the water, drank a few gulps, and then returned the kettle to Shen Nanqing. She smiled shyly, "Sister, thank you for saving my life. When I return to the village, I will definitely repay you."
Shen Nanqing smiled and waved, "Ayue, you are so polite. Anyone who sees you today will give you a hand."
She looked around and found that the girl should be from an ethnic minority. She was wearing very distinctive clothes. She wore an indigo-blue blouse embroidered with vine patterns, and a knee-length skirt printed with intricate geometric patterns.
But he had tried to climb out of the pit many times. His clothes were disheveled and stained with dirt and moss. The wooden plaque with a totem carved on it hanging around his waist was particularly eye-catching.
Shen Nanqing raised her head and looked at the watch. It was almost twelve o'clock. She stood up and patted the dirt on her body, and said with concern: "It's getting late, you should go back soon! If you can't see me at home, you should be worried."
After saying that, Ana Shen began to tie up the scattered flowers again, put the bamboo basket back on his back, and prepared to leave, but saw Li Ayue standing there without moving.
Ana Shen was puzzled: “Ayue, what’s wrong, are you hurt?”
Li Ayue shook her head and took out a coconut shell jar with betel nut patterns from her rattan backpack. "My grandma said that we must repay a favor. This is the moisturizer my grandma made. It will heal insect bites and injuries from falls. I'm giving it to you."
Shen Nanqing looked at her serious look, smiled, stretched out his hand to take the coconut shell jar, and to show his love, he opened the jar, scooped a little with his index finger and smeared it on his back. The milky white paste spread on his face, and the fragrance mixed with the smell of herbs spread instantly.
"It smells really good." Shen Nanqing raised his head and sniffed it again, then smiled and said, "I like it very much."
Li Ayue smiled again and said proudly, "I think it smells good too. My grandma is amazing. She can make many, many things."
The two of them carried bamboo baskets and walked down the mountain together. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were no longer on the same road. Li Ayue was reluctant to leave, "Sister, next time you pass by Li Village, you must come to my house to drink Shanlan wine!"
"Okay." Shen Nanqing replied with a smile. This girl was really too naive. The two had just met, and she told him everything about her family.
Li people, a very mysterious ethnic group.
After the two of them separated, Shen Nanqing clenched the rope of the basket and quickened her pace to rush home. She had promised Song Huaiwen that she would be home before lunch. Now that she hadn't returned yet, he should be worried.
"Don't walk with your head down. It's unsafe."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her, and a warm palm covered her back, and the bamboo basket instantly became lighter.
Ana Shen turned back in surprise, “Why are you coming from this direction?”
