Shen Tingting replied in a muffled voice, "Yeah."
Yes, they came from the same family compound, and she was sweating all over and felt even worse when she saw Xu Niannian.
From the beginning on the road, Xu Niannian ignored me and I didn't know why she was so arrogant.
What if Xu Niannian wrote back and said that he had become the village doctor and she was still a digger.
Her mother is a very proud person, so who knows how she will scold me in the next letter.
No, she can't take all the limelight.
Xu Niannian is now thinking about going back to brush up on some common sense. He has boasted so much that it has become known all over the village, and he doesn't want to embarrass himself.
As soon as he returned to his room, he locked the door, went into the space to drink a cup of spiritual spring water, and then sat on the ground, leaning against the apple tree to read a book.
I couldn't stop watching it, and I watched it from afternoon to night.
These books seem to have been written by Mr. Ge himself. The classification is very convenient and the explanations are very clear. The books also contain detailed drawings of the shapes of many herbs.
During these few hours of study, Xu Niannian felt that he was very focused, unlike before when he was in modern times, when he couldn't help but look at his phone after reading for a while.
I stretched and picked some strawberries to eat.
I looked through the seeds again, but unfortunately there were no lychees.
It would be better if I could get some lychees for her next time. Thinking of her grandfather, she still had to go to the black market once, at least to leave some money for them when she left.
The next morning, Xu Niannian, who had been reading all night, planned to go to the back mountain.
While eating in the morning, I reported to Uncle Song:
"Uncle, I want to go to the back mountain today and pick some herbs."
Uncle Song frowned after hearing this:
"The back mountain is a little dangerous. You don't know that two years ago, some people were so hungry that they went into the mountain and were bitten to death. Except for the collective activity of going into the mountain in autumn, the villagers basically don't go in on their own. At most, they cut some grass for pigs at the foot of the mountain."
Xu Niannian became more interested. The fact that fewer people went up the mountain proved that there were more good things in the mountains.
"Don't worry uncle, I'll just check at the base of the mountain."
Uncle Song looked at her with an expression as if to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?" But he didn't have much to say. If the villagers wanted to treat illnesses, herbal medicine was indispensable.
"Don't go too deep inside. It's okay on the periphery. Be sure to pay attention to safety and run if you see something wrong."
Old Liu from the outside often goes there to cut trees, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
After dinner, Xu Niannian carried her small backpack up the mountain. The autumn harvest would be here soon, so she prepared to find some mint, honeysuckle, Panax notoginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and dandelion according to the recipe she had read last night.
There was space for honeysuckle, but she was reluctant to give it up.
After all, the seeds are grown with your own money, so the quality is of course better.
She hadn't walked far when she felt someone following her, so she quickly hid behind a big tree.
I saw Goudan leaning on a branch, carrying a backpack, scratching his head:
"Strange, why did it suddenly disappear?"
While eating, he heard that Xu Niannian was going up the mountain. He had been running in the mountains for many years, so he was familiar with the place.
I just wanted to follow her to protect her, but I lost her.
Xu Niannian saw that the person following him was Goudan, so he walked over and patted him on the head:
"Little boy, why are you following me?"
Goudan smiled:
"I'll protect my sister."
"No, go back quickly! Otherwise your family will be worried about you."
Goudan thought, no way, the children in their village only go back home for dinner.
"It's okay. I'll just follow you and cut some grass for the pigs."
He had reason to believe that if he didn't follow her, she would definitely get lost.
Xu Niannian looked at the little brat in front of him who was confidently saying that he wanted to protect others, and suddenly he didn't want to attack him:
"Okay, it's your turn to protect me today."
The kid looks cute too.
Goudan was full of confidence and smiled:
"I'll take you to where the grass grows the most."
As he said this, he walked in front and let Xu Niannian follow behind him.
Suddenly Goudan stopped:
"Wait a minute, pretty sister. There's a nest of bird eggs up there. I'll pick them up."
I have to say that children who grow up in the mountains know how to climb trees.
It climbed the bare tree trunk twice and reached the treetop, took out eight small eggs from the bird's nest, and climbed down again. The whole process was smooth and seamless.
Not a single egg was broken.
"Look, beautiful sister."
His saliva was about to overflow. He didn't know whether grandma made these bird eggs into bird egg custard or bird egg soup. He licked the corner of his mouth.
Xu Niannian couldn't help but laugh at his greedy look:
"Great! Let's get to work. Maybe we can catch some pheasants or rabbits when we come back."
Goudan put it away carefully and continued walking forward with the beautiful sister.
Xu Niannian remembered that the chickens in the space loved to drink the spiritual spring water, and perhaps the chickens in the mountains also loved to drink it, so she also dripped some spiritual spring water from her hands onto the ground.
They walked and stopped along the way until they reached the halfway point of the mountain. There were already a lot of dandelions in the backpack. Tian Qi unexpectedly found a lot of honeysuckle here, so he quickly asked Goudan to stop.
So the two of them started working and didn't rest until the backpack was full.
Xu Niannian took out his watch from his pocket, looked at the time, and decided to go back first to avoid worrying Aunt Song and her family.
When he reached the tree where he had picked bird eggs when he passed by on the way up the mountain, Goudan rubbed his eyes:
"So, that's a chicken?"
Xu Niannian looked over and saw, indeed, three chickens and two little gray rabbits.
The instigator felt a little guilty, and Goudan was eager to try and catch him:
"Pretty sister, I don't know what they are eating. You go over there and I'll go over here. Let's catch them together."
It was really dazzling to see so many pheasants and rabbits. He felt a little sad and was sure that two of them would run away.
As a result, when they went up to catch pheasants and rabbits, they were still pecking at the grass on the ground, as if it was delicious.
It didn't matter if he was caught. Goudan couldn't believe that two people caught three pheasants and two rabbits. When he met Xu Niannian's gaze, he was praised by her, "You are awesome."
Then put all the things directly into his backpack.
His backpack was full of pig grass. He threw some out and put the prey at the bottom.
The two were about to go back when Goudan suddenly pointed behind Xu Niannian and said:
"Pig... boar."
He was so frightened that he stood still. The good mood he had just had for catching the pheasant was gone. It was a pity that he didn't get to eat these delicious foods before he died.
They hoped that their parents would take good care of the pheasants and rabbits they caught.
Xu Niannian didn't know that he was thinking so much in his mind. When she turned around, she saw a wild boar weighing two or three hundred kilograms with thick fangs coming towards them.
