Chapter 108 107. Taking Taro up the mountain [Two in one]

There was a new guest at home. Huaiyu slept very soundly all night. The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning dew was to greet Kataro.

"Taro, are you used to it here?"

Kataro flapped his wings and walked out from behind the door curtain, his two antennae bent, seeming very comfortable.

Although it can't speak or make any sound, for some reason it looks like it is in a stable mood.

Huaiyu felt relieved and asked curiously, "Do you need anything else to eat besides various flowers and plants? Do you want dried bamboo shoots?"

She rummaged through her pockets and pulled out half a piece of dried bamboo shoots left over from yesterday.

Kataro took it obediently, but didn't put it in his mouth right away. It seemed that he didn't like it very much.

But even so, it didn't refuse or resist... Wow, the more I watch it, the more obedient it becomes! Huaiyu couldn't help but touch its shell again, and then he looked at the time: "I promised to take you up the mountain today, but it's only a little after 7 o'clock, I'll go to the vegetable garden first."

The vegetables in the field have been planted for half a month, and now both the yam and the sweet potato have sprouted new green vines.

Especially the cowpeas that Huai Yu had great hopes for, the clusters of them were exceptionally lush.

But there didn't seem to be much change in the past two days. She didn't know whether it was green cowpea, white cowpea or red cowpea. But no matter what, the slow growth proved that a trellis was needed.

During this period of time, the eldest and second sons had cut so many bamboos that were piled up behind the house. Now they could just use them to cut them without any effort.

Huaiyu secretly assessed the workload, and then went to look at the peppers, cucumbers, peanuts, soybeans, etc. in turn... Only then did he feel relieved.

Inspecting the vegetable fields every morning is now an indispensable task for her. After all, this is the result of her hard work!

She returned to her room excitedly and made herself a pot of bamboo tea. She then made a hearty breakfast of wild vegetables. Only then did she hear the 8 o'clock morning broadcast in the wilderness:

[Today is April 27, 2066, cloudy, air pollution index 7...]

As the announcement was made, Huaiyu carefully took out his notebook and wrote down the time, then wrote down the pending schedule.

[I want to go to Jinyuan Community to buy some fast-growing vegetable seeds]

[I want to take Kataro to the mountain to have a look]

[It would be better if I could buy some cement and sand...]

After thinking about it, she crossed out the mud and sand again.

Because these things are too heavy, it would take too much time to carry them back one by one. Since the eldest and second sons have broken so many bamboos, they decided to use them to build a bathroom under the barnyard grass.

In addition, these seedlings were only slightly stimulated to grow and not purified, so they need to be done again when they have time.

But there is no rush. Isn't it said that the market will be closed for a week during Labor Day? We can do it then, including setting up the shelves for the vegetable garden.

There is also another barnyard grass tree by the pond that has not changed at all...does it also need to be encouraged to grow?

Also, since the lotus roots I planted before are quite expensive, it would be safer to give them a try...

She picked up a pen and wrote down these things one by one.

Then I thought of an important question:

Those lotus roots should be like the stable vegetable species nowadays, and they won't suddenly mutate like barnyard grass, right? This doubt appeared in his mind for a moment, and then Huaiyu thought of the water-based supernatural being in the artificial lake of Jinyuan Community, and he was relieved in an instant.

If the mutation was really severe, the other party wouldn't have planted such a large area! She closed the notebook and planned what she would do next.

Huaiyu packed up and walked to the door. Ketaro was still lying obediently in his nest. After a night, the large white porcelain bowl in the room had accumulated seven or eight rainbow balls.

Huaiyu took the bowl back and put the balls into his glass jar one by one in front of Taro. Then he held the jar and shook it. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the colorful Kron balls rustling inside.

So beautiful!

Kataro is really amazing! But she was a little curious: "Why are you called Kataro? It sounds like the name of Fuso."

But this name doesn't necessarily seem to be Mr. Tang's style. It might have been given by its original owner, Gao Ming.

There is nothing Huaiyu can say about this, because Tailang is someone else's adopted child after all.

When she thought of this, she felt a little regretful, because Kataro was really sensible and a great companion.

After thinking about it, she left a ball in the bowl just like leaving eggs in a chicken coop.

Taro's tentacles bent a little, wanting to move. It seemed that there was only one ball in the empty bowl, which seemed to be not diligent enough.

Huaiyu was amused by his own idea! "Okay, let's go to the mountain first! But we won't go far this time, and try to be back before noon."

She put on the backpack, placed Kataro in it, took the trap and tools, pushed the 28-inch pole, and headed towards Sanqing Mountain again.

…

The 28-inch bicycle was moving rapidly forward on the grass. With Kataro's company today, Huaiyu's pedaling movements were particularly powerful.

When they arrived at the old place in District 8, near the Rose Corridor, she got off the bike, pushed her bike and leaned over to reveal Kataro in the backpack.

"Rose-Rose! Look! There's a new member in our family! This is Katsutaro! He's really good at making a grass ball!"

She took off the backpack, then held Kataro in the basket and handed him to the side of the rose corridor.

Kataro huddled carefully in the basket, looking at the overwhelming roses in front of him, not daring to move at all.

After a long time, it trembled and stretched out its tentacles and bent them, as if saying hello.

The branches of the rose corridor swayed without saying anything. Huaiyu happily put the car aside and smiled again: "Please open the door. I'll take Kataro to the mountain to have a look."

…

…

At the end of April, the wild animal resources on Mount Sanqing are obviously much more abundant than in the cold weather of early March.

Not long after entering the mountain, Huaiyu saw a large patch of Artemisia annua at her feet, but it was a bit old, so she hesitated for a moment.

Before she could think it through, Kataro had already used all six legs to bang on the backpack.

Huaiyu reacted quickly, put the basket on the ground, and carried Kataro out: "Do you want to walk by yourself? It's a bit hard..." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kataro lying down, returning to the crawling state, and then biting the Artemisia beside him.

Huaiyu: ...

"You're quite good at finding things. This is not bad as a wild vegetable, but it has some medicinal value..."

There were chives and wild pea seedlings next to them, but Kataro's first choice was Artemisia annua. Could it be that he prefers plants with medicinal properties?

Huaiyu smiled and touched Ketaro's tentacles again: "Taro, come back and eat this later. There should be other better things on the mountain."

Kataro paused while chewing, then obediently handed the rice-sized ball in his hand to her, and then crawled behind her using all six legs.

Huaiyu suddenly became happy.

How should I put it? Although Kataro can't talk, the sense of companionship is stronger than dragging Kuangbiao down the mountain before! It feels like going up the mountain with a child.

This made her feel even better. She carried the basket on her back and went up the mountain. She picked wild mushrooms and common yellow elm mushrooms several times, and then came to the pool where she had set up the trap before.

It hasn't rained for a while, and the water level in the pond is a little shallower than before, but only a little, and the surroundings are still quiet and cool.

Because of the water source, the vegetation here is richer than what we have seen along the way.

Kataro flapped his wings twice, and when he saw Huaiyu stop, he dived into the bushes beside him.

Huai Yu carried a multi-purpose shovel and dug out a few small earthworms. After a little purification, he threw them directly into the trap.

Then he lowered the trap into the pond with familiarity.

Then she looked at the lush trees on both sides and happily picked up the backpack.

Snow-white acacia flowers! She had seen several of them through the gaps between the leaves.

Few people come to this mountain. Several locust trees have grown into gnarled old trees with branches extending far away. The green tender leaves on them are matched with clusters of white locust flowers with a faint fragrance. Just looking at them makes Huai Yu feel the joy of a good harvest.

But there were really too many of them, so she had to pick and choose, looking for those buds that had not yet fully opened.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She put down the backpack, took out the bag that Kataro had been holding before, then stood on tiptoe to pull down a branch of acacia, and carefully plucked off all the flower buds on it one by one.

Trying to chat while masturbating.

Unfortunately, although most of the plants on Mount Sanqing are mild, there are many that are simply impossible to communicate with, and are exactly the same as ordinary plants.

But it doesn't matter, she now has Taro to chat with! "Taro, what good stuff did you find again?"

Taro had poked his head out from among the bushes, now wobbling on his hind legs and standing up to try to get closer to her, his wings flapping in obvious eagerness.

Hmm? Huaiyu was a little puzzled, so he let go of the tree branch in his hand and let it bounce back into the air, then he trotted over: "What's wrong?"

Taro was seen lying back on the ground, digging with all six legs at the soil and rocks for a long time, and finally the surface of the soil was damaged.

Huaiyu understood.

It's just that Kataro's claws can't dig out the roots of the plants you want, right? She couldn't help laughing, and she laughed for a long time before finally taking out the shovel:

"What do you want? I'll help you."

Kataro quickly crawled to the side, and bent his tentacles as if pointing at the weeds in front of him.

"This is……"

Huaiyu picked one up and looked at it: "It's Ophiopogon japonicus! It seems you really like medicinal herbs."

“There’s a big one here.”

She picked up a shovel and dug away the rugged rocks on top, then in a few seconds she pulled out a handful of them, with the roots still intact.

But this is not the end. Kataro crawled to the side again, and under the rock closer to the water flow, there was also a large clump of Stone Dragon Reed.

It seems that Kataro bought several of these yesterday. Do you want more today?

Huaiyu didn't ask any more questions. He just took the shovel and overturned the stones and soil with the same swift movements.

There were so many of them that they formed a small hill! Kataro flapped his wings quickly around them, and his mood was visibly happy.

Huaiyu also felt satisfied, and pointed ahead: "There are more than a dozen Polygonatum there, do you want some?"

Kataro had already run over happily.

It's really strange. Although it can't speak, you can really see that it is very happy from its back.

Huai Yu also became happy. He adjusted the multi-functional shovel and carefully dug out more than a dozen Polygonatum sibiricum plants.

Then he exclaimed: "No one comes to this mountain, but the medicinal herbs have grown so big..."

There were still some small ones left, but these were enough to make Kataro very happy, so she simply stopped digging.

Looking at the three piles of medicinal herbs of different sizes in front of her, she touched Kataro's tentacles again: "Are you happy now?"

Taro flapped his wings, then picked up the Polygonatum odoratum and stuffed it into his mouth without even looking up.

"And the soil—never mind."

Huaiyu put the shovel down again: "You are already a talang, a little soil shouldn't be a problem - have fun."

She looked at the basket and saw that she had only picked 1/4 of the locust flowers, so she started to pull the branches again.

…

With Kataro accompanying her today, Huaiyu didn't feel bored at all even though it was just the monotonous and repetitive picking of locust flowers.

In the past, when she went up the mountain, she would always pick a little here and a little there, but today, after her backpack was filled and pressed again, she just quietly circled around these huge locust trees.

But now, there is really no room in the basket.

If Kataro doesn't want to walk by himself later, he will even have to be put into a plastic bag and hung around his neck to be carried down the mountain.

She finally stopped: "Kutarou, are you done?"

Two obvious wing vibrations were heard in the quiet forest. Huaiyu leaned over to take a look, and saw that not far in front of Kataro, there were actually three piles of balls of different colors.

The pile of golden balls was piled right where the Huangjing was just now, and there were only a dozen of them.

At Shilongrui's place, there are still a lot of colorful balls.

There was also a pile of slightly white ones, and there were quite a lot of them... Was it Ophiopogon japonicus? And Ketaro was still holding half a piece of Polygonatum odoratum in his two front paws and chewing it non-stop, and a layer of golden crumbs had already piled up in front of him.

"Wow!"

Huaiyu squatted in front of the layer of powder, resisting the urge to pinch a little to see—

“It really looks like gold.”

"But don't worry," she checked her watch, "It's only 11 o'clock now. I'll wait for you."

Kataro flapped his wings and his mouth continued to move.

Huai Yu staggered and came to the edge of the pond again.

It would have been safest to collect them early, but she looked at the clear pond and then at the trap that seemed to have something flapping in it. She hesitated for only a moment, then quickly grabbed the rope that was pressed under the rock and pulled the trap up.

Inside, there was another big black fish with its tail flapping wildly.

She turned her head and looked at the colorful Kron balls and her heavy backpack. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind -

Sanqingshan is my home indeed! Here we come! Two-in-one update! Good night!
