Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Xiaoman.

Feng County has a lot of rain. In the past month, it has rained for more than ten days, with varying degrees of rain.

As soon as summer comes, the whole family has to start working again before we have a chance to relax.

But compared to when we first went up the mountain, we have now passed the most difficult days.

At least you don't have to worry too much about food and shelter.

The leeks and some green vegetables in the field are all edible. Yesterday, the two hens in my house laid three eggs.

Xu Wenyan is saving all these eggs. When there are more than ten of them, he will give them to the hen whenever she wants to lay eggs.

This pheasant looks completely different from the domestic three-flowered chicken. When it just hatches from the shell, it is gray all over. But when it molts, it starts to grow red and green feathers and becomes a really larger bird.

The disadvantage is that there is not much meat, so what’s the point of being beautiful?

The three chickens are released during the day. They don't run far, but look for insects to eat in the yard and on the hillside, and come back on their own at night.

Xu Wenyan really felt it was magical.

As for the rabbits, they grew even faster. In just one month, each of them weighed four or five kilograms. However, it rained almost every day these days, and every time I went to pick leaves for them, I got soaked.

Chen Sanlin's legs have finally recovered, and now he can't wait to go out every day.

I'm chopping firewood in the yard right now. In just one month, the firewood can no longer be stacked up, so the excess is transported to the earthen kiln.

Zhou Jianye built a shed there to prevent the firewood from getting wet by rain.

"I'm back." Chen Sanlin put down the axe in his hand. A few drops of sweat flowed down his forehead, and he wiped them with his sleeve.

"Open your mouth."

"what?"

Xu Wenyan was seen holding a few large leaves in his left hand, inside which were some prickly berries, raspberries, and blackberries. These small berries that grow on various thorns have no unified name and can be called anything.

The sweet and sour taste burst in his mouth, and Chen Sanlin smiled and said, "Where did you pick it?"

Xu Wenyan dumped the weeds and leaves behind him into the rabbit house: "There are plenty of them in the mountains."

Then a few smaller ones appeared, each with a basket full of prickly ash of various colors. Chen Dong's little mouth was covered with purple-red juice.

As soon as summer comes, all the wild fruits in the mountains bloom, including the sweet and sour hairy cherries, thick-skinned green pears, sour and bitter wild plums, and green walnuts that grow bigger day by day. Even the chestnuts have formed small thorn balls.

The weather was finally clear today, and everyone went out early in the morning.

Zhou Jianye and Xiaohu were digging drainage ditches on the loess slope above.

Xu Wenyan was really afraid that the rain would wash away the hillside and cause a mudslide, which would really wipe out everyone.

Digging a drainage ditch was not enough, Xu Wenyan followed them to make a long eaves with bamboo.

Split the bamboo into two halves, hollow out the arched side and face upwards, so that rainwater will naturally flow down along the bamboo.

Chen Sanlin watched Xu Wenyan put on the backpack again, not knowing where he was going.

"What are you going to do again?"

"I'll go see if the crabs are out now. There are still a lot of frogs in the pool downstream. I went to see it a few days ago and saw strings of frog eggs."

"I'll go with you." Chen Sanlin put down the axe, stepped on the big backpack with one hand, and took two steps to catch up with Xu Wenyan in front of him.

Xu Wenyan didn't care about him. Thinking about it, it seemed like it had been a long time since he went out with him.

Because of the rain in the past few days, the riverbed rose quite quickly, and the two could only walk down from the shore.

"Be careful." Chen Sanlin was leading the way in front, and even he slipped several times. The ground was covered with mud, and he was stepping on slippery grass, so he slipped easily.

"kindness."

Along the way, Xu Wenyan saw a lot of fallen cycads on the hillside. They should have started to rot, but he didn't know if there were any wood ears, shiitake mushrooms, etc. on them.

The journey that usually takes more than ten minutes took me half an hour today.

"The water is cold, let me try it first." Chen Sanlin squatted down and began to move the stones beside the pool.

Xu Wenyan looked at him and thought that if he were in modern society, he would probably be the type that many girls would like.

That is to say, when Chen Sanlin was busy, Xu Wenyan was not idle either.

He found something good by the water at the corner ahead. The plant with large triangular leaves, rounded edges and thick stems was water celery.

This is also a common wild vegetable.

It has the effects of moistening the intestines, promoting bowel movements, replenishing iron and acting as a diuretic. Water celery contains a large amount of fiber. Because of its high iron content, it is better for girls to eat it.

Moreover, this kind of water celery will grow into a large patch once it grows.

It should be noted that water celery cannot be eaten with oysters and crabs, as it may cause diarrhea.

Xu Wenyan picked a bunch of water celery at a time. Looking along the water flow, it was densely packed.

"Wen Yan, got it."

Hearing Chen Sanlin's voice, Xu Wenyan turned his head and saw him using a piece of straw to tie crabs. This was what Xu Wenyan taught him in the fall.

Looking at the small amount of water celery in the basket and then at the crab in Chen Sanlin's hand, Xu Wenyan decided not to pick any more water celery. He would take the ones back today to feed the rabbits.

After getting their first catch, the two men took off their sleeves, rolled up their trouser legs, rolled up their sleeves and started touching crabs in the pool.

We can already see quite a few tadpoles swimming in the water. In another month, we will be able to eat a new batch of grown frogs.

The crabs here are all hairy crabs, the kind with hair on their claws. In addition to crabs, Xu Wenyan also found a lot of snails on the rocks and in the water plants.

Although there is little meat in this thing, it is fragrant. It's a pity that the peppers are not ripe yet, but it's still edible.

They were indeed wild-grown crabs and snails. The legs of the big crabs were as long as Xu Wenyan's forearm, and the larger snails were as big as half his fist.

Before Xu Wenyan had finished pressing all the crabs in his hand, he looked up and saw that the trees on the mountain above his head were covered with densely packed red melon vines.

Red melon is also called golden melon, old crow vegetable, and mouse melon.

It is a climbing herb of the Cucurbitaceae family with thick roots, slender stems, thin petioles and many branches.

When the red melon is not ripe, it is green and has a smooth surface, and it turns red when it is ripe.

The young leaves of red melon are also edible.

It has strong vitality, reproduces quickly and basically does not get sick.

The little red melons hanging above my head are really adorable. It is summer now, and all the edible things in the mountains are popping up.

For example, the dandelions and plantains we ate before can now be seen everywhere.

"Brother Chen, touch it quickly, there are so many red melons there." Xu Wenyan couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the patches of melons there.

This was the first time he had seen so many red melons. After picking these melons, he could fry the seeds inside and eat them. The taste was just as good as pumpkin seeds.

The two of them were busy for more than an hour and caught a total of more than twenty crabs and a small basket of snails.

After putting on their shoes, they hurried back.

Wang Cuijuan was also happy when she saw what Xu Wenyan brought back. He was the busiest person in the family, and all the fresh food was brought back by Xu Wenyan.

Running to the mountains all day long.

Compared to others, you only need to complete the tasks assigned by Xu Wenyan.

Wang Cuijuan estimated that if only their two families fled the war, they would at least starve to death if they were not caught and killed by the enemy.

"Aunt, do you still remember how to cook crabs?" Xu Wenyan changed the backpack and looked like he was planning to go out again.

"Remember, you still need to go out." Wang Cuijuan looked forward at the things in the backpack. These two men are really capable.

"Well, we'll be back soon. Please take care of the crabs, and put the snails in the creek to spit out the mud and sand." Xu Wenyan said as he walked, and he was silent at the end.

Wang Cuijuan smiled when she saw the two people’s backs, and began to clean the things in the backpack.
