Song Yiyuan's yard is the last one in the first row. There are another row of houses on this side of the small courtyard with a separate entrance, and each row has eight yards.
They were going to wait for Hongxi and Xiuhong at the intersection of the last row of courtyards. They agreed to meet around 7 o'clock, as the mushrooms on the mountain were the freshest at this time.
The time when Lin Qingqing went out was when every family was making or eating breakfast. There were not many people on the road. When she met two or three sisters-in-law, they nodded to each other as a greeting.
When they reached the last row, they saw Xiuhong and Hongyin already waiting there.
Xiaomei smiled and greeted first: "Sister-in-law, you came really early."
Hong Xi pulled Lin Qingqing and said with a smile: "We just arrived, let's go."
A few people walked to the back and came to a two-meter-high courtyard wall. They walked forward along the wall for a while and saw a sentry post.
There is a door here, which is a thick iron door made of iron.
Xiuhong greeted the two soldiers on guard. They must have seen Xiuhong go up the mountain often. They immediately opened the lock on the iron gate and let the few people into the mountain.
Behind the door is a big mountain. The size of this mountain is not smaller than Maoer Mountain. Half of the mountain is covered in fog, and the lingering fog can still be vaguely seen in the forest.
There were many paths on the ground that were walked by people. Xiuhong led the three of them up the mountain along a path.
This mountain is different from Maoer Mountain. Maoer Mountain still has some land exposed, while the ground of this mountain is covered with grass and the vegetation is more lush.
After walking a bit up the mountain, Xiuhong stopped and said, "Qingqing, we'll spread out later so we can pick more mushrooms. Although there aren't many big wild animals on this mountain, we shouldn't go too far in. We need to be able to see each other."
"good."
The four of them walked up the mountain at a distance. Xiaomei stayed close to Lin Qingqing. She didn't dare to go too far away from Lin Qingqing, for fear that if something happened to her cousin, she could go over by herself.
Lin Qingqing picked mushrooms in a Buddhist way. She mainly came to see if there were any herbs, so that she could get more and take them back. Then, no one would suspect anything when she took something out.
She only walked a short distance before she discovered that there were more herbs here than in Maoer Mountain, and herbs could be seen everywhere.
Maybe because no one usually goes up the mountain to collect herbs, the herbs grow naturally, so there are more of them.
While others picked mushrooms, she dug herbs.
Xiuhong saw that Lin Qingqing barely bent over and wondered why she had so many mushrooms.
After they walked a long way inside, Xiuhong called out to the three of them to go back and not go too far inside.
The three of them moved and turned back. It was already past 9 o'clock when they reached the foot of the mountain.
Hong Xi looked at Lin Qingqing carrying several bags of wild vegetables and smiled, "Qingqing, why did you dig up so many wild vegetables? Didn't you pick any mushrooms?"
Looking at the food at Team Leader Song's house, there's no shortage of food, so why is Qingqing still digging wild vegetables?
Xiuhong also smiled when she saw this. She opened her bag, which was full of mushrooms of various colors. She wanted to pour some for Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing waved her hands hurriedly: "I'm digging herbs. My family is small, and the mushrooms Xiaomei picked are enough for us to eat."
"Herbs?" Hong Xi was puzzled.
Xiuhong opened the bag and took a look. There were really all kinds of grasses in it, which were different from the wild vegetables she usually dug.
She looked up and exclaimed, "Qingqing, you don't know how to be a doctor?"
She wanted to say medical skills, but she bit the last word in her mouth. The turbulent times have passed, and she should be careful with her words. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth.
Lin Qingqing looked at the two people in surprise and nodded heavily: "I know a little bit. I learned it from a grandfather who was sent down to the village before. It makes it easier for me to take care of my family."
Xiuhong nodded in agreement. It was indeed convenient to have someone in the family who knew medicine. If she had a headache or a fever, she could treat it at home.
Hong Xi looked at Lin Qingqing with envy, thinking that Team Leader Song had married a good wife.
"Lin Qizhi...Lin Qizhi, you really are on this mountain."
A guard came running over, panting.
"The Chief... The Chief is looking for you all over the family compound. Team Leader Song is also looking for you."
Lin Qingqing handed three bags of herbs to Xiaomei and said with a smile, "Let's go."
