Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

When it comes to late night snacks, Zhao Yeqing is not sleepy anymore.

It should be said that I was not too sleepy in the first place, but now I am in high spirits.

"What do you mean, what to eat?"

......

Half an hour later, the two of them sat in the kitchen on the second floor of the house, lit a fire, and put on a metal net with two freshly slaughtered fish on top.

Zhao Yeqing happily applied some oil on it: "How do you know there is a pond up there?"

Yu Mu Xi also felt uncomfortable in the drainage ditch. A lot of dirty things used to be discharged into the ditch, but now he still feels uncomfortable even if it is clean.

"I guess I'm going to stay on this mountain for a few days. When you were looking for something in the oil-extracting house, before I came over to find the truck bucket, I walked a few steps to the terrace next to it and found that the water was flowing down. , there is already a fairly wide pool above."

Zhao Yeqing just thought he was going to pick fruits growing on the tree next to him, but he didn't expect to come back with two fish in more than 20 minutes.

Farmers like to plant some fruit trees next to their houses. Most of them are grapefruit trees, citrus trees and the like. This family also planted a jujube tree next to their house. The jujubes in this season happen to be hanging densely on it. You can see it during the day. Many birds sat on the branches.

Before eating the fish, Zhao Yeqing made a small bowl of red dates, washed them and used them as snacks. The water was quite sufficient, and the flesh was crisp and tender. Each one was about the size of a thumb, and each bite was crunchy and crispy.

"You are also very brave. If I had known you were going to catch fish, I wouldn't have let you go. It's so dangerous at night. I don't even know what animals are hiding in the mountains."

Mu Xi shook his head, "It's not dangerous. You'll know when you go up and take a look tomorrow."

It’s not that he’s trying to show off this time, but that the geographical location changes a lot, and the description is far from being as comprehensive and clear as what he saw with his own eyes. It’s not that far away, and you can see it just a few steps uphill, so it’s better to wait. It was convenient for her to see it herself.

Zhao Yeqing also knew this truth. After eating the fish, his body felt warm, he lay down with his eyes closed and fell asleep.

In the morning, the two of them opened their eyes almost at the same time. They didn't wake up naturally, but were awakened by the sound of frogs outside.

Neither of them had been to the village here before. They didn’t know whether there were so many frogs in the village before or whether they were frogs that appeared after climate change. In short, when they came up from the mountain, they found many frogs in the grass and tree trunks on the roadside. Frog I've seen.

Most of them are green tree frogs, with smooth skin and bright green color. They don't have the patterns on their bodies that are common on small frogs. Their entire backs are pure green. They don't have the big numb bumps like toads, but only some small textures. , it doesn’t look disgusting and is even a bit cute.

Little tree frog, I quite like it

Yesterday she was quite cute when she was lying down in the tree, but now I woke her up...

Not cute at all.

The calls of the various species of frogs were also different. The sounds were intertwined and mixed with great penetration, as if they were calling next to her pillow.

He was still having a late-night snack most of the night last night. It was only seven o'clock in the morning when he was woken up by the frog's cry. Zhao Yeqing turned to his side and raised his hands to cover his ears. He struggled to sleep for a few more minutes. The more he slept, the more his head hurt. , surrendered and sat up with two dark circles under his eyes.

Mu Xi got out of bed after being woken up just now, went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, filled the pot, poured the rest into the basin, mixed it with cold water, soaked the towel, and walked to the room to put the towel away. Pass it to Zhao Yeqing.

"Just wipe it and you'll wake up."

The effect of wiping my face was mediocre, and I didn't regain my energy until after breakfast.

Breakfast is hot bacon porridge, and the food brought includes rice. The wax is not the wax used in Laba porridge, but the wax of bacon. It is not the old bacon that is difficult to clean, but the Nanfeng pork that was only made this year.

When I was picking red dates last night, I saw a piece of wild ginger beside the house. I dug out a small piece. After washing it, I cut only two pieces into the pot. Pour in a little oil and saute the ginger slices until fragrant. Cut the Nanfeng into small cubes. Add the meat and stir-fry.

Until the fat of Nanfeng Pork becomes transparent, pour in the rice soaked last night and cook until the rice blooms.

The soaked rice is ready after boiling for ten to twenty minutes. Nanfeng pork has its own salty taste, so there is no need to add salt to the porridge to make it salty and fresh.

After breakfast, Zhao Yeqing remembered the pool that Mu Xi had mentioned last night, and planned to go up there to have a look. He happened to be cutting wood to make a loom and he had to go up the mountain to cut down trees.

Tools for cutting trees can be found in the family's house. The tools they brought with them this time were only light tools such as sickles and hatchets, but no axes that could cut down trees.

The family's house is luxuriously decorated and equipped with a complete set of tools, including a chainsaw, but unfortunately there is no electricity or oil.

You can only take an ax and a saw and go into the mountain.

The ax and saw were also a little rusty. Mu Xi found a large box of new saw blades in the cabinet. They were well preserved and had a new metallic luster. He carefully removed the saw blade and replaced it with a new one. He took yesterday's notebook with him and planned to Follow the data to get the wood back.

There is a big difference between the morning in the mountains and the meadow. The meadow is flat. Even if there is fog in the morning, it will not block the view. The mountains are high and low. When you wake up early in the morning, you can see clearly except around the house. If you want to go up, you can Got into the fog.

Until nearly nine o'clock, most of the thick fog dissipated, and the morning light shone down, making the dew-covered branches and leaves look golden.

When you reach the top of the terraced field, you can see the water pool. This water pool was originally a rice field, the top one. It was filled with water, and a big stone fell from nowhere and smashed into the middle of the field. A depression came out, so there was this pool.

Fish and shrimps are swimming in it. There are many aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool, and the water quality is very clear.

There are not many traces of animal activity near the waterhole, unlike the meadow lakeside. Every time I go there, I can see the footprints of small animals on the sand by the waterside, sometimes in a string, sometimes in a mess.

Behind the pool was the woods. As soon as Zhao Yeqing raised his head, he saw the woods and what Mu Xi meant when he said it was not dangerous.
