Chapter 33 Who's Behind?
I borrowed some cabbage and radish seeds from Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dayun, and sowed them in front of the cold dew. In this way, when the university was closed in winter, the whole family could eat the food.
However, in this process, for a few months, I could only rely on digging wild vegetables to serve the rice.
Yang Ruoqing picked each okra from the vine and put it into a bamboo basket. Looking at the weeds that had half a basket, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
But she did not leave.
This season, there is another pine forest. After a rain, it is a great time for pine mushrooms to produce mushrooms. It is impossible to find them.
Continue to look deep in the forest, not to miss the roots of the trees, the places covered with pine hair and dead leaves, and the middle of the cracks of the stones
Hard work pays off, and she finally found it. Just under the roots of a pine tree in front, the stick carefully pushed away the layer of red pine hair covering it. In the eyes, there were clusters of cute and cute pine mushrooms that looked like small umbrellas.
Matsutake, scientifically known as Matsutake mushroom, is a non-toxic and delicious edible fungus.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the color of the matsutake mushrooms in front of her. The cap was brown and the fungus rod was white. It was fresh.
His eyes suddenly shone, and he squatted down and used his fingers to gently uproot the matsutake mushrooms, brushed off the soil and stone crushed at the roots, and then carefully put them into the bamboo basket beside him.
Matsutake is rich in nutritional value. Whether it is eaten fresh or dried, it is a good-tasting ingredient, especially for Yang Huazhong, who is suffering from physical weakness after suffering severe damage.
As he thought that he had picked almost the same piece of matsutake, he weighed the heavy bamboo basket in his hand, and Yang Ruoqing's lips curled up a pleasant curve.
However, when she stood up and looked at the scenery around her, she was stunned.
Just now, I was just looking for Matsutake. I walked into the depths of the forest without knowing it. I didn't leave any signs on the road along the way. As soon as I looked up, the light around suddenly became dark. In addition, after another rain, a fog rose in the forest. Yang Ruoqing couldn't tell the difference between the east, south and north.
When Yang Ruoqing heard that when she was about to go out, Sun sent her to the side door and told her to walk around the fields in front and behind the village. Don’t come to the hillside and forest here.
I heard that it was also after rain. Someone in the village came to this forest to herd cattle, and the cows got lost in the blink of an eye. I found many people but couldn't find them. Later, the hunters in the village found the remains of the cow in the valley behind the forest. They were gnawed by wild beasts in the mountains and left half of the cow's head.
When Yang Ruoqing thought of wild beasts, especially those hungry wolves, and the groups of wild boars, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
The creatures such as wolves and wild boars usually live in groups, and they will be a big group of people coming out.
Even in his heyday in his last life, even if he wore advanced weapons, he would not dare to provoke them rashly.
Looking at her now, she was so clumsy that she was panting when she walked quickly, and the branch in her hand. She shook her head secretly.
If it were Yang Ruoqing in the past, she would have been so scared that she would have peed her pants. But now, Yang Ruoqing told herself not to panic, and the more she was at this time, the more she would have to be calm.
Calm, calm
She did not run around, but instead hit her and found that she was lost, she never moved her feet and stood there without moving.
Now, she took a few deep breaths and forced her heart to calm down. Then, she began to lower her head and looked at the branches and grass beside her.
After a rain, the ground could leave some traces. As long as the place she walked, her body rubbed against the surrounding branches, and the small stones and dead leaves and clovers, they would leave special traces.
Yang Ruoqing had always focused on finding the way at first, but she didn't notice that she was staring at her behind her. After walking for a while, she suddenly realized something.
No matter whether the person or beast is following, we cannot stay here for a long time.
So, I accelerated my steps, and behind me, the feeling of being tracked never dissipated, sometimes far and sometimes near, as if the other party was deliberately keeping a certain distance from her, but she kept it within the other party's sight.
Damn it, this feeling of being targeted by a prey like a human is really unpleasant
While Yang Ruoqing was rushing to the road with all her might, she had already grasped a few sharp stones in her palm. As long as the thing behind showed clues of attack, the stones in her hand were not vegetarian.
When she came in just now, she didn't think anything. When she went out, she realized that the forest was really big. She probably went to the deepest part of the forest. No wonder she could pick so many wild vegetables and so many fresh pine nuts.
But she also caused herself unknown trouble. Fortunately, the light in front became brighter and brighter. She held back the joy in her heart, ran away and rushed towards the exit of the forest ahead.
Behind a big tree not far behind him, he looked at the fat figure who suddenly ran up, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and scratched his head. This fat girl is not that stupid either.
Turning around, he continued to walk deep into the forest. Today's harvest was not enough, and he still had to go around the other side of the forest.
Outside the forest, Yang Ruoqing ran down the hillside and ran to the back of the village. She was sure that the feeling of being followed completely disappeared, so she stopped and sat on the big rock beside her and gasped.
Turning around and looking at the dark woods she left behind, I felt lingering
Damn, what's that thing
It seems that I can't go into the forest easily next time. It's too dangerous. If I die inside, where will my parents go to find it?
However, there are so many good things hidden deep in the forest, and I really can't bear to leave it if I don't go in.
What a contradiction
After calming down his mood, Yang Ruoqing looked at the sky, it was already dark, and the villagers who went to the field were preparing to finish work and go home for dinner.
Yang Ruoqing sorted out the wild vegetables, Matsutake and other things in the basket by a stream behind the village. She washed them clean with the clear stream water, and then put them back in the basket.
She took off her shoes again, tied her legs barefoot, rolled her trousers to her knees, stepped on the stones in the stream and stood in the water. She loosened the cloth strips she used to tie her hair, buried a tied bird's hair in the flowing stream.
Although there was no shampoo, it was live water, and it was continuous. I rinsed and rubbed it. When she wrung her hair and climbed ashore and put her shoes on again, the last ray of light in the sky would be swallowed up by the night.
Twilight was rising, and lights were lit in the village below, and from time to time, there were barking from dogs.
Yang Ruoqing carried the basket and no longer delayed it. She rushed towards the village with wind under her feet.
