Time flies so fast. Fu Wan and others have been playing in Qingshan Village for a day and a half.

Tomorrow, Fu San will come to pick them up after delivering the seafood to the town.

Fu Wan definitely agreed to go up the mountain. The last time she went up the mountain was when she was as old as Ye Zhenxing. She still remembered the fun of catching chickens and chasing rabbits on the mountain.

After lunch, Fu Wan and the others went up the mountain. Because the weather was hot and sunny, Shen Lingling followed Ye Xiaofeng to play with other children in the village, so at this time, only Fu Wan, Fu Ming, Bai Qianzhou and Ye Jianguo went up the mountain.

Ye Jianguo has spent his entire life in Qingshan Village and has visited the mountains near the village countless times.

If he wasn't afraid that they would go deep into the mountains, he wouldn't have insisted on following them.

Fu Ming and Bai Qianzhou now get along very well, one digs the trap while the other throws the trap.

In the 1980s, the government had not yet banned the capture of wild animals. As long as they were not rare animals like tigers, villagers could capture wild boars, pheasants, and rabbits based on their own abilities.

After all, when there is not enough food on the mountain, wild boars and rabbits often run down the mountain to destroy crops.

Ye Jianguo’s family has a private plot of land not far from the mountain. Every time the beans were ripe, you could see a lot of traces of wild rabbits eating them.

Wild boars are even worse. As soon as they come down the mountain, they attack indiscriminately. They will eat and trample on the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and even rice in the fields, making the scene horrible.

However, as the human population grew, wild boars and rabbits were later listed as protected species and could no longer be captured privately.

As Fu Wan thought this, she used the branch in her hand to knock on the weeds on the roadside.

August is not only a good time to catch lobsters and eels, but also the time when snakes are most active.

When the weather is hot, snakes like to hide in the grass that is half a person's height. If you encounter a docile one, it will run away when you hear the noise. But if you encounter an aggressive one, it will chase you down the mountain directly.

Fu Wan carried a basket when she went up the mountain. She remembered that there were a lot of prickly ash on the mountain, and she wondered if anyone had picked them.

After all, there are quite a few children in the village.

Fu Ming, Bai Qianzhou and Ye Jianguo were busy catching rabbits and pheasants, while Fu Wan was busy looking for her own prickly pear.

The thorny raspberry, also known as the raspberry, has sharp, sparse, short thorns on its branches and leaves. It usually blooms in May and June, and the fruit matures in August and September.

It’s the end of August now, which is a good time to pick prickly ash.

Relying on her memory, Fu Wan walked around with her small basket for a few minutes and found a bunch of prickly pears.

Sure enough, there were big red prickly bubbles hanging on the branches, and a few black and purple ones, which made Fu Wan swallow her saliva.

I don’t know if it was because this thorn bubble was on the back of a hill and was blocked by a big tree, so the children didn’t pick it.

With both hands busy, Fu Wan picked a few and couldn't help but put two into her mouth. A sweet and sour taste exploded directly on her taste buds. It was more sweet than sour, exactly the taste she remembered.

As she ate, her hands moved faster. This piece of prickly ash was almost overripe. If she didn't pick it, it would fall to the ground and become compost.

At this moment, there was another quarrel in Ye Jianguo's home.

Liang Cuifen didn't get home until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. When she opened the door, she saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law counting money on the old dining table.

She thought she was dreaming for a moment and pinched the flesh on her arm hard, causing her to grimace in pain.

"Mom, where did you get so much money?"

Li Chunhua was not stupid, she did not miss the greed in Liang Cuifen's eyes.

It’s strange to say, Liang Cuifen’s family life is not bad, but she just likes to pursue money.

She didn't know that the pocket money she gave to Ye Xiaofeng was taken away by her mother under various pretexts.

That's only one or two cents!

Li Chunhua silently put all the money in her hand into the cloth bag, and then pretended not to hear Liang Cuifen's question just now.

"Why are you back?"

Liang Cuifen felt aggrieved when she heard this. Her mother asked her why she hadn't returned to her husband's house yet, and her mother-in-law asked her why she came back.

Is she so annoying?

She said angrily, "Where will I go if I don't come back?"

Li Chunhua and Huang Guifang were both speechless, because it was obvious that she ran back to her parents' home on her own.

Liang Cuifen had been walking all the way under the sun and was now feeling thirsty.

She was about to pour herself a bowl of water when she caught sight of a dozen large coconuts piled nearby.

"Wow, where did this coconut come from?"

Huang Guifang said, "My cousin Awan from my aunt's family brought them here."

Liang Cuifen didn't have time to care about this at the moment. She picked up a coconut and went to the kitchen.

When Li Chunhua saw her leave, she quickly put the cloth bag and the account book into the house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought that this person should have forgotten about this matter, but who knew that after Liang Cuifen had eaten and drunk her fill, she started chasing them and asking where so much money came from.

Li Chunhua didn't have the patience to answer and just said that he earned it himself.

Liang Cuifen knew very well that she was hiding something from her. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she was filled with anger.

Just at this time Shen Lingling and Ye Xiaofeng ran home to drink water. Shen Lingling's hair had been cut into a buzz cut by Old Lady Shen before, but now it had grown a lot longer, so Fu Wan tied two small buns for her.

I don’t know if Liang Cuifen was just being naughty or what, but she walked up and grabbed the little nipple on Shen Lingling’s head.

"Where did this wild girl come from!"

Liang Cuifen had never been careful with her hands, and this time she hurt Shen Lingling.

"let me go!"

Shen Lingling hadn't fought with anyone for a long time, and this time she was about to rush up and hit Liang Cuifen.

Fortunately, Li Chunhua grabbed him, otherwise the two of them would have fallen together.

Shen Lingling didn't fight back, and the grievance in her heart was magnified.

"Mom, I want mom!"

After all, she is still a five-year-old child. Since Fu Wan divorced and took her back to the Fu family, she has never been bullied.

At this time, Fu Wan on the mountain had no idea what was happening down there. She picked up most of the prickly ash bushes and finally cleared them all.

Fu Ming and Bai Qianzhou also gained a lot. Fu Wan was not far away and could hear Fu Ming's exaggerated yet suppressed laughter.

She was carrying a basket as she walked towards Fu Ming and the others. There were many branches on the road. After she finally stepped over them, she saw a brown and yellow wild rabbit hopping over and bumping directly into her foot.

This is unscientific!

Wild rabbits are most afraid of people, so how could they possibly charge into your own feet!

Fu Wan was feeling strange. It would be a shame not to catch a rabbit that came to her door. She picked up the rabbit and looked at it carefully.

The rabbit's hind leg was bitten by something and was still bleeding. She could also clearly feel the rabbit trembling.

This rabbit is still shaking!

Why is it shaking? Didn't it just come to my door?

Fu Wan was feeling strange, but she knew the answer the next second.

Because just as she was looking around to find some grass to tie up the rabbit, she heard a hissing sound.

When she looked up, she saw a large brown snake with white stripes less than two meters in front of her, with its triangular head raised and spitting at her!

Oh my god, this is like crossing a mountain!
