Chapter 6 Go up the mountain again

Living at the foot of the mountain, even if these children had never seen a wild boar, the adults at home had told them how ferocious wild boars were. Seeing Ye Chengxin leading the way, the others came to their senses and hurriedly followed.

Shu Xiaoxiao lay on Ye Chengxin's shoulder and kept an eye on the situation behind. They had just run not far when they saw leaves shaking. Judging from the movement, it should be a group of wild boars. Fortunately, they ran away in advance, otherwise these idiots would have been wiped out.

Shu Xiaoxiao whispered to the friends behind her: "Everyone, keep quiet and run faster. We will be fine once we get down the mountain."

After hearing Shu Xiaoxiao's words, everyone ran forward. Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the group of wild boars not far from them and felt a little scared. If the wild boars moved a little further forward, they would be able to discover them, and they could not outrun the wild boars.

I could only panic and shout to the uncle next to me: "Da Shu, Da Shu, can you help us?"

She knew that she had been seeking medical treatment for some illness in the wrong places, but there was nothing she could do now. The oldest among them, Ye Chengxin, was only eight years old and was sent by Grandpa Zheng to protect her. There was no one who could fight her, so she could only try the golden finger that suddenly appeared, otherwise she might have to stay here.

She traveled through time and space and didn't want to die at the mouth of a wild boar at all. It was too depressing.

"The big tree can't help you, let us do it!" As soon as the words fell, the wild boars were tripped by the weeds on the ground.

The one who just spoke was the yellowing grass in front of the wild boar.

"Thank you, thank you!" Shu Xiaoxiao thanked repeatedly.

"You're welcome. It's rare to meet a human who can understand us. We can't just disappear like this."

Looking at the wild boars that were tripped, Shu Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of the grass, the children successfully reached the foot of the mountain. Shu Xiaoxiao saw the adults in the field and shouted, "Uncle, there are wild boars in the mountains."

The kids who were running wildly just now were gasping for breath and now couldn't utter a word.

Seeing the children running so fast today, the adults were about to make some jokes, but when they heard Shu Xiaoxiao's words, they quickly ran back to the village to call for help. The rest of the people also hurried over to check if the children were injured.

Soon, the young and middle-aged men in the village marched into the mountains with various weapons.

If this wild boar comes down the mountain, it will destroy the crops and medicinal herbs. Now that we know where the wild boars are, we might as well catch them all in one go. This is all meat!

After the men went up the mountain, some of the remaining people went to boil water, while others went to prepare medicine so that those who were injured could be bandaged in time.

After about an hour, the men who had just entered the mountain came out of the mountain with wild boars on their shoulders, looking very happy. They shouted, "It's time to eat meat!"

The children also forgot their fear and ran to the adults. Looking at the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms, they cheered: "It's time to eat meat!"

The hot water is ready, and now it is just right for removing the hair from the wild boar.

There were many people going this time, so the harvest was naturally great. Each family could get about 10 kilograms of meat. The men who were injured while going up the mountain got 2 kilograms of meat as a supplement. It just so happened that they didn't have to cut meat during the Chinese New Year.

As for the pig-killing dish, each person gets one bowl regardless of whether they are adults or children. Since every family has children, there is no objection to this method of distribution.

The taste was similar to the stew in Northeast China, but more flavorful. Shu Xiaoxiao was full after eating half a bowl, and the rest was taken care of by the four nephews.

After eating the pig-killing dish, Shu Xiaoxiao went back and started to study the newly discovered golden finger. The meat was already in her mouth, so the previous events were certainly not illusions. She had to see what was going on.

Because they encountered wild boars in the mountains, the village now forbids them to go up the mountains. Chunyue and Chunmei know that they encountered wild boars in the mountains and now they have to follow them wherever they go.

Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't convince herself, so she had to take Chunyue and Chunmei out with her.

The meat has been distributed, and the Chinese New Year is approaching soon. Every household is at home preparing food for the New Year. The children are gathered around the kitchen, and there are not many people outside.

"I heard that Daya was driven to the mountains by her grandmother again."

"It's because she knew there was meat to eat in Qinglian Village, so she got greedy!"

"That girl can't catch a wild boar either!"

"Poor Daya, I don't know what these humans are thinking."

"I heard from the grass in the mountains that there is a human doll that can hear us talking."

"..."

Shu Xiaoxiao listened all the way and found that the plants in the village were really gossipy. They told everything, and nothing that happened in the village could escape their eyes and ears. In other words, humans could not hear their voices, otherwise they would have to pull them out.

Thanks to these plants, some families in this village are so lazy that they can't even eat, some wives are about to be divorced because they subsidize their parents' home, and some families prefer boys over girls...

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips and went back.

......

After the New Year, spring soon arrived, and the flowers, plants and trees on the mountains regained their brilliance.

Shu Xiaoxiao was even more eager to get started.

She also had some gains during the Chinese New Year. She accidentally heard these plants talking about their ancestors, but when she asked, they kept silent and didn't believe anything in it.

The ancestors don't know if there are flowers and plants that have cultivated into spirits, otherwise how can they call themselves ancestors?

Unfortunately, after these plants knew that she could hear them talking, except for that time when she let the cat out of the bag, Shu Xiaoxiao never heard anything about her ancestors again.

So she is going to the mountain to look for the legendary ancestor today.

It’s not just these little kids who went to the mountain today. Now is the time when wild vegetables are sprouting. After eating radishes and cabbages for a whole winter, the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law from various families also came to the mountain to change their taste.

With these plants as eyes and ears, Shu Xiaoxiao led her aunt and sister-in-law directly to a field of fertile wild vegetables.

The big locust tree at the foot of the mountain knew that they were coming to dig wild vegetables, and told Shu Xiaoxiao that the wild vegetables in this area were the best and most abundant, while most of the vegetables in other places were just sprouting.

"Our Xiaoxiao is so lucky. It was not easy to find so many wild vegetables in previous years. This is enough for us to eat for several days." The third aunt sighed.

"Don't just stand there, let's dig quickly," my aunt urged.

Whoever digs up something in the mountain owns it, so they hurried to dig more while others hadn't found it yet. It was just the beginning of spring, so there weren't many wild vegetables growing.

"Sister Chunyue, Sister Chunmei, you can also dig. I want to eat shepherd's purse and egg dumplings today." Shu Xiaoxiao said to Chunyue and Chunmei who had been staring at her.

Ever since they knew that Shu Xiaoxiao had encountered a wild boar, Chunyue and Chunmei followed her wherever she went and refused to stay at home no matter what.

Seeing that everyone was digging wild vegetables, Shu Xiaoxiao listened to the sounds of the plants around her. She found that the plants in the mountains were much simpler. They usually talked about which bird had spread seeds here, or which place was more fertile. They were nothing like the plants in the village who spent all day discussing which couple or mother-in-law or daughter-in-law was having a fight.

Seeing Chunyue and Chunmei looking up at her while digging some wild vegetables, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to walk too far.

But how can we find our ancestors like this?

Shu Xiaoxiao found a place that was neither too far nor too close to them, ready to listen to whether these plants had any news about their ancestors.

Suddenly I found that all the plants had fallen silent. Before, there were always a few plants whispering to each other, but now there was no sound at all.
