Lu Sheng carried her on his back and walked briskly up and down the mountain. After a while, they arrived at the deep north side of Long Mountain. There were many wild fruit trees with complicated branches and vines, and they were full of autumn fruits. It was the time to pick them.
Lu Sheng put Qin Shuang down, and Qin Shuang looked at the big tree in front of him with some curiosity.
"What is this?"
She pointed at the big tree in front of her and asked.
"This is a persimmon. It's delicious!"
Lu Sheng explained to her.
"What about this?"
Qin Shuang pointed to another big tree covered with ginger-like leaves and asked.
Lu Sheng smiled gently and said, "This jujube is also a kind of fruit, and it's very sweet!"
"Really?"
Qin Shuang opened her bright eyes. When she heard the word "sweet", the candied fruit in her mouth began to secrete unconsciously. She had never heard of this thing, let alone eaten it.
"Want to try it?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Before she could answer, he took off his clothes and coat, hugged the tree trunk, and climbed up quickly.
He stepped on the branch, stood firmly, took out a machete from his back, carefully cut off a branch with many jujube leaves, then pinned the machete on his back, hugged the tree trunk, and quickly slid down from it.
"Is this too much?"
Qin Shuang looked at the large piece of jujube in his hand and asked.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay. These are wild basil. There are a lot of them. If you don't eat them, they will fall to the ground and rot. I'll pick some more for you to satisfy your craving."
"Oh!" Qin Shuang agreed, his eyes fixed on the food in front of him, but he didn't show any intention of eating it.
"What? Are you afraid it's poisonous?" Lu Sheng seemed to have seen her hesitation.
Qin Shuang swallowed his saliva and said, "No, I have never eaten it before. I am afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, I'll eat it for you to see!"
Seeing her hesitation, he plucked a jujube from the jujube branch in his hand, rubbed it casually on his body, and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Seeing him eating with gusto, she asked quickly.
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, it's very sweet!"
She swallowed unconsciously, but still didn't have the courage to say that she wanted to eat one.
Seeing her eager expression, he smiled, picked a few plump jujubes, wiped them on a clean place on his body, and handed them to her, "Try it, trust me!"
Qin Shuang held the thing in her hand half-believingly, and after a few minutes, she mustered up the courage to put it in her mouth.
As she chewed slowly with her teeth, the sweet juice of the jujube slowly spread in her mouth, and she tasted a sweetness she had never tasted before.
How about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I? "
Seeing that her expression was still optimistic, he leaned forward and asked.
Qin Shuang raised her sweet little face and nodded, "Mm, delicious!"
Gazing at her pretty face, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. It seemed that she looked so beautiful when she smiled.
Feeling that there was something wrong with the man's eyes, she suddenly realized something, quickly put away her smile, wiped her hands on her body awkwardly, glanced away, and left.
Lu Sheng touched his nose awkwardly, took the things in his hand, and quickly followed her.
★★★
The two of them looked around and walked around, and soon they came to a dam.
Not only are there dense forests and mountains here, but the terrain here is flat and the area is vast. There are no trees blocking the sky. When you look up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the warm sun.
