The general rebirth of farming

Chapter 62 Looking for Crested Ibis (3)

After lunch, Chen Guifa completely extinguished the fire, put the pot into the medicine basket, and the group continued to walk deep into the mountain.

The road became narrower and narrower, and finally there was no road, and the dense grass was all thigh-high.Chen Guifa sharpened a long wooden stick, and stepped on a path while cutting grass.This is called scaring the grass to scare the snake, and people who often go up the mountain know it.But sometimes it is not only snakes that are surprised, but also some pheasants and wild birds.Of course Qu Yuan would not let go of this opportunity, as long as there were flying ones, he would shoot them down, and Rhubarb immediately rushed over to snatch the prey back.As for hares and the like, because the grass is too long, they can't see clearly at all.

An hour later, Qu Yuan had four more pheasants and two turtledoves in his hands.

Another pheasant flew up, and when Qu Yuan was about to shoot it, Professor Tian held down his hand.

"Young man, it's alright, let's save some seeds for Dashan. It's enough for you and Guide Chen to eat. We have dry food." Tian Fengyang said earnestly.

Qu Yuan froze for a moment, nodded slowly, and put away the bow and arrow.Originally, he wanted to get more prey for everyone to eat together, but since Professor Tian said so, there was no need for him to continue.

After walking for almost two hours, the mountain grass became less and less, and it was no longer densely packed.The surrounding trees are getting more and more taller and taller, almost covering the sky.Many unknown vines are wrapped around the big tree, and there are many mosses growing on the trees, vines, and stones.It was autumn, and the ground was covered with a layer of withered and yellow leaves.

Chen Guifa led the crowd to a hillside with a large open space, and said, "Let's rest here tonight. There is a stream there, everyone can go and wash it."

Chen Guifa pointed down.The creek is a bit far away, about 20 meters away from the camp.If it is not condescending, I am afraid it is not easy to find the creek.When choosing a camp, it is best to have a stream for easy cooking and cleaning.But it can't be too close to the stream, because many animals will go to the stream to drink water at night, so they are easy to be attacked by animals.

Tian Fengyang looked at the time, it was only 37:[-] in the afternoon, and he couldn't help asking doubtfully: "My fellow, it's still early, should we hurry?"

"I can't hurry anymore, this is the most suitable place." Chen Guifa shook his head, "This is the lee of Danggui Mountain. After crossing this slope, you can see Wild Wolf Slope. There are many wild animals over there, and the smell of cooking is easy to waft there. It’s not good to go to the side and attract wild animals. In the past, there were wolves, leopards, black blinds, etc. in Yelangpo. Later, after the hunting guns, they were almost extinct. But no one has been hunting for so many years, and I don’t know how much they have recovered. , let's not take any risks."

Tian Fengyang had already seen Xiong Da in Qu Yuan's family, and he would not doubt whether there were bears in the mountains.Now that there are bears, it is not surprising that there are wolves and other animals.Therefore, Tian Fengyang immediately agreed with Chen Guifa's opinion and asked everyone to camp here to rest.

The assistants took out tents from their backpacks and set them up, and Fang Zicheng did the same.Chen Guifa sat on a rock, poured out the contents of the medicine basket, and sorted out the herbs, wild vegetables and mushrooms that he picked on the road.

Zhang Xiaoli saw it, threw down the half-built tent, ran to Chen Guifa's side, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are you making fish soup again tonight?"

Zhang Xiaoli swallowed, she still missed the delicious fish soup at noon.

Chen Guifa shook his head and said with a smile, "No, we will make wild vegetable and mushroom soup tonight."

"Oh..." Zhang Xiaoli sighed in disappointment, and went back dejectedly to continue setting up the tent.

"Hehe, this girl..." Chen Guifa looked at Zhang Xiaoli's back with a funny look, then lowered his head and continued to deal with his spoils.

Qu Yuan took the hunted pheasants and turtledoves to the stream, disemboweled them, and threw the internal organs to Rhubarb to eat.After cleaning up, Qu Yuan handed over the pheasants and turtledoves to Chen Guifa.There is no way, his cooking skills are too bad, and Chen Guifa's cooking skills are obviously much better than his, the lunch meal is the proof.

This time, Chen Guifa did not make beggar chicken, but made soup with pheasant and wild vegetables and mushrooms.Although the taste is not as good as the fish soup at noon, it is still very delicious.

After eating and drinking enough, people who were exhausted for the whole day were not in the mood to do anything else. Except for the first batch of night watchmen, everyone else got into the tents to rest.

There are seven night watchmen, namely the five male assistants, Qu Yuan, and Fang Zicheng.The professors are getting old, Zhang Xiaoli is a girl, Chen Guifa is not young, and they have to take care of the responsibility of the guide, and they are quite tired. Qu Yuan and the others can't bear to ask them to keep watch.The seven young men were divided into three groups, and each group stood by for four hours, oh, and there was a full-time rhubarb.Among them, Qu Yuan and Fang Zicheng were in a group, guarding the middle section, that is, from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning.

The middle section is undoubtedly the hardest. When you sleep halfway, you have to wake up for the night, and then go back to sleep after the watch. The sleep is cut in half, which is uncomfortable.Qu Yuan also knew this, so he volunteered to guard the middle section.He is in much better health than the others, even if he doesn't rest for a night, it doesn't hurt.As for Fang Zicheng, if he can't get up, it doesn't matter if he continues to sleep, since he is enough anyway.

Before going to bed, Professor Tian sprinkled a ring of mixed fine powder of sulfur and lime in front of each tent to prevent animals such as snakes and centipedes from getting into the tents.

Qu Yuan and Fang Zicheng shared a tent, and there was only a thin blanket in the tent. Fang Zicheng wanted to share with Qu Yuan, but Qu Yuan tactfully refused.Although the temperature in the mountains at night is relatively low, it is nothing to him.More importantly, the thin blanket is too small, and if two people cover it together, they have to be next to each other.Except for Chen You, Qu Yuan was not willing to have physical contact with other people at all.

Fortunately, Fang Zicheng didn't know what Qu Yuan was thinking, otherwise he would have to drive Qu Yuan out of the tent.He took out the latest iPhone from his pocket, set the alarm clock, and set the ringtone to vibrate. Fang Zicheng glanced at Qu Yuan, who was motionless, and couldn't help complaining: "I said Yuanzi, how many are you?" If you are a millionaire, can't you buy yourself a mobile phone? If you don't even have a mobile phone, are you a modern person?"

"No." Qu Yuan replied calmly and honestly.

"You..." Fang Zicheng was about to die of anger, thinking that Qu Yuan was teasing him.

Qu Yuan glanced at Fang Zicheng's depressed appearance, couldn't help smiling, and said, "It's useless if I want a mobile phone, and I don't need to call anyone."

The original owner of this body had a mobile phone, but he didn't find it when he attached it to the body, maybe he dropped it when he was drunk.But Qu Yuan didn't care, as he said, the mobile phone is useless to him.

"Once you have a mobile phone, there will naturally be someone you need to contact." Fang Zicheng rolled his eyes and pointed to himself, "For example, me. Do you know that when I was in the capital, I wanted to call you It was only after a phone call that I remembered that you don't have a mobile phone, tell me, how inconvenient is it?"

"Okay, I'll buy one when I go back. Let's take a quick rest now, and we have to watch the night later." Qu Yuan surrendered, and if he buys a mobile phone, he can buy a mobile phone. It's not worth much anyway.Speaking of which, Chen You doesn't have a mobile phone either, so just buy a pair of the same.

"Hey, actually, I bought it for you a long time ago. The latest oppo mobile phone, you can use it when you go back and get a card. By the way, Chen You also has it. Don't thank me, I really can't see you two. These days, grandpas and grandmas know how to use mobile phones, but you two are still young!" Fang Zicheng turned over and lay down while muttering, maybe he was tired, and fell asleep not long after.

Qu Yuan laughed and lay down too, but he didn't feel sleepy.The person lying next to him was not the person on the tip of his heart, and the breath was not the one he was familiar with, Qu Yuan was not used to it.After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally fell asleep.

A few hours later, Qu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the roof of the tent, and after two seconds, his eyes were clear again.He sat up quickly, opened the tent and went out.There was no sound during the whole process, Fang Zicheng was still sound asleep.

When the two watchmen saw Qu Yuan appearing, they couldn't help being stunned. One of the assistants looked at his watch, and the time was pointing to 45:[-].

"Brother Chen, the time hasn't come yet."

"It's okay, I'm already up. You all go to rest, just let me come." Qu Yuan said.

The two assistants hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, let's go to rest first." They were already very sleepy.

"Go."

Qu Yuan sat down beside the fire, and Rhubarb, who was guarding in front of the tent, followed, and lay down at Qu Yuan's feet, resting with his eyes closed, but his erect ears were trembling.

Wild animals are afraid of fire, and will instinctively run away when they see fire.So when camping in the wild, it's best to keep the fire burning all night.

After more than ten minutes, Fang Zicheng also came out of the tent with a yawn.Seeing that Qu Yuan had already been guarding by the fire without feeling sleepy, he gave Qu Yuan a thumbs up in admiration.

"You can continue to sleep, I can do it alone." Qu Yuan glanced at the sleepy Fang Zicheng, and said lightly.

"No, we agreed to watch the night together, how can I be lazy?" Fang Zicheng rubbed his face vigorously, then raised his head, already much more energetic. "Okay, I'm awake."

Qu Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and added a few branches to the fire.

Fang Zicheng sat down beside Qu Yuan, threw a branch into the fire, and said, "Come and chat, or I'll fall asleep again."

"What are you talking about?"

"Anything is fine. For example, the matter between you and Chen You, some interesting things about you since childhood, etc., as long as it is interesting."

Qu Yuan frowned, interesting?It seems that he has nothing interesting in his previous life or in this life.As for the matter with Chen You, Qu Yuan was unwilling to share it with others, it was a secret that belonged to him and Chen You alone.

The interesting thing is unexpected, but there is one thing that touched Qu Yuan, that is, the biological parents of this body.

"I," Qu Yuan paused for a few seconds before continuing with a little awkwardness: "My parents have been married for more than ten years and have never had children. I thought that there would be no offspring in this life. At the age of 40, I was pregnant with a child. Naturally, my parents were ecstatic. After the child was born, they loved him in every possible way and responded to every request. Under this kind of doting environment, the child eventually grew into a idle youth. The father who was worried about the child finally fell ill and did not get up again. The mother who was born in a bad health because of her advanced age was hit by this kind of blow and fell down. No one was in control, and the young man finally became a gangster."

Qu Yuan's expression was a bit complicated, as if he was telling someone else's story, but his memory was very clear, and he could even feel some emotions, because this was the experience of this body.I don't know if Chen's father and Chen's mother regretted doting on their son?If they knew that things would turn out like this, wouldn't they prefer to have no children for the rest of their lives?

Fang Zicheng's eyes were red, of course not because of Qu Yuan's untouching narration, but because Qu Yuan's story touched his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Zicheng said slowly, "My father and my aunt are the same. They have been married for eight years and have not been able to find out what's wrong. Don't you think it's strange? My grandfather sees that Fang's family is about to end, so of course he doesn't agree. , let my father accept another small one. My father and aunt have a very good relationship, so naturally they disagreed, but in the end they were persuaded by grandpa, and although aunt was not reconciled, she couldn't object, even aunt's strong natal family I didn't dare to say anything. So, my father just accepted a young girl, a poor female college student who has been supported by Fang's family, that is, my mother. My mother was also very competitive and soon became pregnant with my eldest brother. But Unexpectedly, when my mother was five months pregnant, my aunt was also pregnant. Do you think it’s ridiculous? In the end, both my mother and my aunt gave birth to sons. In addition, my dad loves my aunt more, loves the house and the crow, so naturally he loves my second brother more. And my mother, after giving birth to a son, was neglected by her husband and shed tears every day. In order to get her husband's love, my mother Designed my dad, and had me. The naive mother thought that she would be able to get her father's love when she became pregnant again, but she was disappointed. My dad's heart is still with the aunt. The mother who was hit hard fell ill, although it went well The land gave birth to me, but they couldn’t raise me. My grandfather saw me as pitiful, so he took me there to raise me. I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child, and my grandfather is just like my father to me.”

His mother has an older brother, and his father has a second brother. He who has been away from his parents for a long time is almost as if he has no parents.When he was young, he didn't understand the complicated things between adults, and he often clamored to find his parents, but every time his grandfather sent him to his father or mother, he would be sent back soon by his father and mother.Gradually, he also understood what was going on, and he never quarreled with his parents again.

Qu Yuan was shocked, Fang Zicheng always had a playful smile on his face, but he never thought that Fang Zicheng's background was so pitiful.

"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have? Are you pitying me? I don't need to be pitiful, sir. Take back your eyes." Fang Zicheng shouted angrily.

"You...don't you complain?" Qu Yuan asked carefully.

"There is nothing to complain about, as long as I have a grandfather. My grandfather loves me so much, he treats me like a sweetheart, and my pocket money is more than my two older brothers combined." Fang Zicheng raised his chin triumphantly.

Qu Yuan cast doubtful eyes, can grandpa's love replace parents' love?

"I'm serious!" Fang Zicheng emphasized angrily, but he softened like a discouraged ball after a while. "Well, I will definitely complain at first, because they don't want me and leave me at my grandpa's house. But as I got older and got more and more in touch with my elder brother and second brother, I began to rejoice that I followed my grandpa. I grew up. Both my mother and my eldest brother hate my elder brother and my second brother very much. Every time I go to my mother’s house, my mother is like a weeping and resentful woman. The atmosphere made me suffocate, and I couldn't even stay for an hour. When I went to my father, my father would always tell me not to go to my mother's place, and the second brother would ridicule the eldest brother. Although most of what the second brother said was true , but I really can't stand his mean attitude. So, I'm glad that I grew up with my grandfather, and I'm glad that I didn't become like the big brother and the second brother, and the resentment towards my parents disappeared."

Qu Yuan was speechless, this was too bloody, he was unable to make any comments.

Fang Zicheng rubbed his face, took the opportunity to secretly wipe away the tears that accidentally ran out of the corner of his eyes, and complained: "It's all your fault, I told you to say something interesting, but you said something unpleasant. You have to compensate me for my spiritual loss , I will fine you to let me live in Chunxie for free for a month, ah, no, I also like the other three buildings very much, Chunxie, Xiage, Qiuyuan, Donglou, I want a room, and I take turns to live in it every day. "

"It's up to you." It's only a few rooms, so what's the problem?Qu Yuan graciously agreed.

Fang Zicheng started chatting again, talking about the funny things about his grandfather's birthday banquet, about the fact that he confessed to his grandfather that he liked a man who was beaten up by his grandfather, and about the matter between him and Chen Yuyang... Qu Yuan Listening silently all the time, perfectly playing the role of a listener.
