Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Ye Mingyuan quickly tied up the two bundles of firewood and placed them on both ends of the pole. He picked up the pole and walked down the mountain. After walking a few steps, he discovered a wild hawthorn tree full of fruits on the hillside not far away, also called Shanlihong. . The mangrove trees in the mountains are covered with red fruits, which are very eye-catching in clusters.

The flesh of the ripe mountain red fruit is very soft, sweet and floury, and particularly delicious.

"Jiaojiao and Yaoyao must like to eat it. If you pick more, you can also give some to your parents." Ye Mingyuan thought to himself.

Ye Mingyuan walked quickly to the foot of the hillside, put the firewood on the ground, carried the basket on his back, held the hatchet, and slowly climbed up the hillside. The hillside was not small. In addition to the mangroves in the mountain, there were other weeds and trees.

Ye Mingyuan took a wooden stick and beat it carefully. After confirming that there was no danger, he started to pick wild hawthorns. After a while, the basket was full. Ye Mingyuan was still unfinished. There were still many on the tree. He thought he would remember the route later and come back tomorrow. Pick.

Ye Mingyuan was carrying a basket on his back and was getting ready to go down the small slope. When he reached a tree, Ye Mingyuan suddenly stopped and looked carefully, because the area around the tree was particularly thick with rotting grass and dead wood. Generally, the thicker the rotting grass and dead wood. , the easier it is to have snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Ye Mingyuan was extremely cautious. He held the hatchet tightly in his left hand and made preparations. He held a wooden stick in his right hand and gently tapped the withered grass. Sure enough, as soon as he hit it, a "hissing, hissing" sound suddenly sounded, and he saw a brightly colored snake in the withered grass moving toward him. Ye Mingyuan raised his head. The snake's head was in the shape of a triangle. Ye Mingyuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat. It was obvious that it was a poisonous snake.

Ye Mingyuan did not dare to move, his eyes were fixed on the poisonous snake. Now he had no choice but to confront the poisonous snake, calmly looking for an opportunity to win with one blow.

After confronting each other for a while, Ye Mingyuan saw that the snake's body began to curl up. He knew that this was a sign that the snake was about to attack, so he immediately looked for the right opportunity to strike first and hit the snake's belly with a wooden stick. He didn't know if it was Ye Mingyuan. With luck, he hit the target with one blow. The poisonous snake didn't know whether it was knocked unconscious or injured. It was motionless. Ye Mingyuan immediately held down the snake's head with a wooden stick, and then severely chopped the snake into two pieces with a wood chopper.

These actions were completed in one go, and Ye Mingyuan, who finally killed the poisonous snake, was panting and sweating profusely.

After finally calming down for a long time, Ye Mingyuan suddenly saw a bright red color next to the poisonous snake's body. It was a small cluster of red berries. It was particularly eye-catching among the withered grass. It should have been blocked by the dead grass before. Ye Mingyuan had just fought with the poisonous snake. , the withered grass spread out and was revealed. When Ye Mingyuan saw the appearance of the berries clearly, he suddenly felt confused.

Ye Mingyuan forced himself to calm down. He first carefully patted the pile of dead grass. After finding that there was no danger, he gently pushed the dead grass away with a wooden stick, revealing the green leaves under the red berries. Ye Mingyuan was ecstatic in his heart. This is a wild mountain. Ginseng, no wonder there are poisonous snakes.

Ye Mingyuan counted the numbers. The good guy was a wild ginseng with four leaves. He just didn't know how big the ginseng underneath was. It was really big.

Ye Mingyuan saw that the sky was about to get dark, and he didn't think about it anymore. He immediately put down his backpack and carefully used a hatchet to clean up the dead grass around the wild ginseng. Then he used branches and a hatchet to start from the wild ginseng with a radius of twenty centimeters from the center. The whole ginseng was dug out with the soil, and it was already dark now. Ye Mingyuan was also an outsider and didn't know how to dig ginseng, so he didn't care about the condition of the wild ginseng, as the ginseng tendrils were constantly broken and the quality was good.

Ye Mingyuan took off his shirt, gently wrapped the muddy wild ginseng and put it in his backpack. Then he patted the dead leaves and walked down the hillside. He picked up the firewood and went down the mountain without stopping.

It's even more dangerous in the mountains when it gets dark, so it's not advisable to stay for a long time.

Ye Mingyuan was walking down the mountain with a happy face, but at this time, Su Jiao was wandering at the foot of the mountain worriedly.

After Su Jiao's dumplings were wrapped at home, Ye Mingyuan didn't come back. Su Jiao didn't think much about it at first, thinking she was delayed on the road.

But when Su Jiao boiled the water and waited to cook the dumplings, Ye Mingyuan still hadn't come back. Su Jiao began to panic, because usually Ye Mingyuan should have returned long ago after leaving work and going up the mountain to chop firewood.

Xiao Yeyao, who was anxious to eat dumplings, kept asking, "Why hasn't my brother come back yet?" Su Jiao felt panicked when she asked.

In the end, Su Jiao couldn't stay at home anymore. She asked Ye Yao to look after the house at home. She took a flashlight to the foot of the mountain and planned to greet Ye Mingyuan. As the sky got darker and darker, Su Jiao became more and more panicked. , just when Su Jiao couldn't wait any longer and was about to find the party secretary and take people up the mountain to find Ye Mingyuan, Su Jiao saw a shadow carrying a load coming down the mountain. Su Jiao recognized Ye Mingyuan at a glance and stepped forward to greet him.

Ye Mingyuan saw Su Jiao picking him up at the foot of the mountain. He was excited and wanted to share the joy with Su Jiao: "Daughter-in-law, I..."

"Daughter-in-law, what kind of daughter-in-law? You are still staying in the mountains so late at night. You are dying. Do you still remember that you have a daughter-in-law?" As soon as Ye Mingyuan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Su Jiao, who started to question angrily. .

Ye Mingyuan was about to open his mouth to explain, but Su Jiao didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said: "Don't you know I will be worried? I told you that the mountains are very dangerous now, and I asked you to come down before dark. You heard it, what should Yaoyao and I do if something happens to you?" Su Jiao began to choke as she spoke, and the panic in her heart turned into grievance the moment she saw Ye Mingyuan.

"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Don't cry. Look, I'm okay." When Ye Mingyuan saw Su Jiao crying, he immediately panicked and began to apologize hurriedly, trying to wipe Su Jiao's tears. , I found that my hands were full of dirt, and I was so anxious that I didn’t know what to do, so I could only apologize dryly.

"You still said you're fine. You're fine. Where did your shirt go? And how did you get all this mud?" Su Jiao didn't listen to Ye Mingyuan's comfort and continued to ask questions. She was busy checking Ye Mingyuan with the flashlight. Are there any injuries?

Ye Mingyuan leaned into Su Jiao's ear and whispered: "Daughter-in-law, I'm really fine. Let's go home and tell you. I have good news for you."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. If you don't understand, see how I deal with you." Su Jiao checked and found that Ye Mingyuan was indeed uninjured, but his upper body was scratched a few times by branches because he was not wearing any clothes. Seeing Ye Mingyuan's mysterious look, as if he would not speak until he went home, Su Jiao stopped asking questions, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust from Ye Mingyuan's face, and "threatened" fiercely.

Ye Mingyuan knew that Su Jiao was worried about him, and he was very happy. Hearing Su Jiao say that he wanted to deal with him, he was not angry at all, and just cared about having fun.

When the young couple finally returned home, Ye Mingyuan immediately closed the door of the yard nervously, put the firewood and the support on the side of the woodshed casually, and then mysteriously pulled Su Jiao in with the basket on his back. kitchen.

"Brother, you're back! Wow, brother stinks." Xiao Ye Yao saw Ye Mingyuan coming back and immediately came to greet her. Just when she was about to hug Ye Mingyuan's trousers and act coquettishly, she smelled the strong smell of sweat and earth on Ye Mingyuan's body. He immediately held his nose and protested.

Ye Mingyuan: "......"

Su Jiao looked at Ye Mingyuan's petrified expression, smiled and went to get the basin to get water for Ye Mingyuan to wash his face and hands.

Ye Mingyuan stretched out his hand to stop Su Jiao, and said to Ye Yao, who was frowning in front of him: "Yao Yao, why don't you go play with the tumbler on the kang first? Your sister-in-law and I will cook dumplings, and we'll have dinner soon."

"Okay" Ye Yao nodded obediently and turned back to the west room. There was a stool next to the kang in the west room. Now Ye Yao didn't need an adult to hold her up and down the kang.

Ye Mingyuan sent Ye Yao away, put down the backpack behind him, took out the wild ginseng wrapped in clothes, presented the treasure and said: "Daughter-in-law, look, what is this?"

"Wild, wild ginseng?!!!" Ye Yao naturally knew ginseng. When she saw the red color on the mud on the ground, she almost shouted in shock. When she realized it, she immediately covered her mouth and looked at the doors and windows warily. After seeing that everything was closed, he whispered.

"Yes, I just wasted time digging it, otherwise I wouldn't have worried you for so long." Ye Mingyuan explained.

Su Jiao looked at the wild ginseng in Ye Mingyuan's hand and was stunned for a long time.

Ginseng is not just some carrots and cabbage everywhere. What kind of luck does this man in his family have to dig up a ginseng tree just by casually going to the mountains? ! ! ! Doesn’t ginseng usually grow in deep mountains? ! ! !

"Wait!!! No, the mountains near our village have been searched over and over again. Now we can't even pick up a few firewood on the mountains. How can there be any wild ginseng? Have you gone deep into the mountains? Do you want to make me angry to death?" Su Jiao immediately realized that the mountains near the village had been cleared by the villagers, so how could there be ginseng? She didn't care about wild ginseng, so she asked angrily.

"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. I just walked in a little bit, just a little bit. I learned how to hunt for a few years before, so I only walked a little bit in when I was sure. This wild ginseng is just a matter of luck. , Really, look, there's nothing wrong with me." Ye Mingyuan pinched his fingers and gestured, then stretched out his arms and stamped his feet for Su Jiao to check.

"When did you learn to hunt? Why didn't I know." Su Jiao had checked before and knew that Ye Mingyuan was indeed not injured. Sure enough, he was distracted by hunting.

"Before I fled, I studied with an old hunter from the previous village for two years." Ye Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said honestly.

"That's not right. Don't everyone say that there are usually venomous snakes guarding wild ginseng? You haven't encountered any snakes, right?" Su Jiao looked into Ye Mingyuan's eyes as if she suddenly remembered something and said.

Ye Mingyuan's eyes immediately dodge, "No, I'm so lucky that I didn't encounter a snake at all."

"Really? I hate people lying to me the most. You should think it over before you speak." Su Jiao saw Ye Mingyuan's eyes dodge and knew he was lying, so she immediately said seriously.

"Daughter-in-law, I encountered a venomous snake, but don't worry, I'm very skilled and it didn't bite me." Ye Mingyuan looked at Su Jiao's serious expression and whispered in a low voice without daring to hide it.

Su Jiao didn't speak for a long time, just looking at Ye Mingyuan, which made Ye Mingyuan panic.

"You're smart and didn't lie to me, but you're not allowed to go into the mountains alone in the future. The autumn harvest is coming soon. You should rest more these two days. After the autumn harvest is over, you can go chop wood with your eldest brother, third brother, and the others." Su He said softly and could not refuse.

Ye Mingyuan felt like he was being pardoned, "Daughter-in-law, I promise not to go by myself, and you shouldn't go to the mountains, okay? It's very dangerous in the mountains now."

"Well, I won't go alone in the future. If I want to go, I will also need someone to accompany me. Okay, hurry up and wash your face and hands. You stink so much. Let's eat first. After the meal, you can take a shower and do other things. ." Su Jiao walked to the stove and opened the lid of the pot, thinking that the autumn harvest would be coming soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if she rests for a few days. Anyway, the mountain products at home are enough to eat, so she happily agreed.

"Okay." Seeing that Su Jiao was no longer angry, Ye Mingyuan immediately responded cheerfully.

Seeing that Su Jiao finally relented, Ye Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his wife would go to court again and did not dare to be proud of the wild ginseng. He quietly wrapped the ginseng and put it aside, then obediently took a basin to wash his face.
