The blue sky is covered with white clouds, and the gentle spring breeze is blowing the wheat waves. The floating wheat waves reveal the hardworking people working in the fields, including of course the children digging shepherd's purses.
Ling Xiaowei and a group of others ran into the field laughing and joking, and started looking for shepherd's purse on the ridges of the field. There were many shepherd's purses, and digging for shepherd's purse was also very particular. The flowering shepherd's purses were old and no longer worth eating. They had to be dug tender and the leaves
Fat.
I walked down several fields and dug half of the baskets. The good ones were dug up by those who came early.
"Let's go digging on the small island! It's just in time to make a trap to catch pheasants." Wang Haohao suggested.
"Okay, let's go!" Qin Lili happily agreed, and then said to Ling Xiaowei: "There are many other wild vegetables over there, I will take you to pick them."
Ling Xiaowei has never been to the island, but she has heard about it for a long time. In her previous life, she heard other children say that it was very fairy tale-like, with colorful birds like phoenixes and big pythons as thick as human legs.
There are also man-eating monsters with tiger heads and cat bodies. Anyway, it is a very mysterious and scary place.
But it is also a place where many treasures are buried. When I was a child, I heard my grandmother tell me that when my grandmother was young, someone dug an ancient tomb from the island, and unearthed a coffin from the ancient tomb. As soon as it came out, the aroma was overwhelming and spread thousands of miles.
Opening the coffin lid, there was a young and beautiful girl lying inside. She was full of life. The silk and satin she was wearing were as good as new. There were also many jewelry and jades, but these things turned into nothing the moment the coffin lid was opened.
The smoke has disappeared.
When grandma told this story, it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and she sighed with regret.
Ling Xiaowei looked at the green mountains in front of her with bright eyes. The island was at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by bushes. Just looking at it made her excited.
Wang Haohao and Ling Xiaoqiang ran in front, while Qin Lili, Ling Xiaowei and two younger children chased behind.
After crossing the fields and streams, we arrived at the bushes at the foot of the mountain. We were getting closer and closer to the legendary place. Ling Xiaowei couldn't restrain her excitement and curiosity. Naturally, she wouldn't believe those legends, but
I am quite curious about the situation inside.
There is a small road under the bushes. It seems that people often walk on this road. Didn't Lu Xun say that there is no road in the world? If there are more people walking on it, it will naturally become a road.
This path winds through thick bushes into the depths of the forest, surrounded by weeds, trees, shrubs, and unknown wild flowers.
Suddenly a large field of white wild flowers climbed up a very high tree, and the fragrance was overwhelming. "Wow, this flower is so beautiful!"
"The flower vines are full of thorns, so be careful." Wang Haohao reminded.
"Wang Haohao, you are very familiar with this place!" Qin Lili said. She was a little scared. This place was too quiet. She heard that there were many snakes here. "Wang Haohao, there are no big pythons here!"
"Yes! So everyone, be careful." Wang Haohao said seriously.
"Wang Haohao, don't scare us!" Qin Lili said angrily.
Ling Xiaowei was also scared. She took a stick and rummaged through the grass beside her to make sure it was okay before leaving.
"Oh, don't worry! I often come here with my parents, and my family has a field on the island, so there are no big pythons here!" Wang Haohao joked with a smile.
The honest and honest Wang Haohao can also joke.
After walking out of the bushes, I finally saw an open flat land and an endless reed field. "There is a river there!" Ling Xiaowei pointed at the sparkling lake ahead and shouted.
This place is simply a fairyland on earth! It really has a wonderful feeling of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, with no way out, and yet another village is full of flowers and trees.
Finally I know why this place is called a small island. It turns out that it is adjacent to a big river, and there are several wooden boats on the river. There are fishermen sitting on the boats and herding ducks.
"Hey, look, that duck can catch fish!" Ling Xiaoqiang pointed to the duck on the river and said.
"That's Shui Lao Crow, he can fish." Wang Haohao explained.
It was the first time for Ling Xiaowei to see this kind of bird. The bird plunged into the water, emerged from the water, climbed onto the fishing boat, and spit out a lot of small fish from its bag-like mouth.
So amazing!
"Old Liao, these old crows you raised are more effective than my fishing rods!" A loud laughter came from the reeds.
The voice sounded familiar to Ling Xiaowei. She wanted to go over and see who it was, but Qin Lili called her from the other side, "Ling Xiaowei, there are a lot of shepherd's purses here, and there is also a toon tree."
There were toon, toon heads mixed with tofu, and scrambled eggs. They were all very delicious. Ling Xiaowei couldn't wait to catch up with Qin Lili. Following the direction Qin Lili pointed, there was indeed a very tall toon tree. The newly sprouted toon heads were shining in the sun.
Tender and glowing.
I saw Qin Lili and Ling Xiaoqiang climbing up the tree like two monkeys, and then started picking toon heads.
Ling Xiaowei looked anxious and greedy. She couldn't climb trees. These two people had hooks on their hands. How could they climb so easily and quickly?
"Ling Xiaowei, I'll pick more and I'll share it with you later." Qin Lili shouted to Ling Xiaowei from the tree.
Ling Xiaowei thanked: "Okay, thank you."
"Ling Xiaowei, let's go and get trapped. There are wild rabbits and pheasants in the forest." Wang Haohao waved to Ling Xiaowei.
Children in the village all have a few brushes. They climb trees to catch birds, go down to rivers to catch fish, and dig holes to catch cicadas. They all have their own special skills. Ling Xiaowei also boasts of being a lobster catcher and a snail catcher.
A unique skill, but I have to wait until summer to show it off.
She was now following Wang Haohao to see how Wang Haohao caught rabbits and pheasants. She saw that Wang Haohao supported the basket he brought with branches, tied long ropes to the branches, and put some rice under the basket.
The person is hiding not far away, holding the rope in his hand, waiting for the prey to arrive, and just pulls the rope.
The two of them squatted under the tree, looking forward to the prey that would come soon. They didn't know if it was a pheasant or a rabbit. The waiting time for the prey was very long. Ling Xiaowei took advantage of this opportunity and continued to dig some wild vegetables, as well as Granny Ding and Granny Ding.
That's dandelion. After washing it and drying it, soaking it in water and drinking it to clear away heat and detoxify, she remembered that it could also clear breasts.
After a while, Qin Lili and Ling Xiaoqiang came down from the toon tree. Qin Lili grabbed three or four handfuls of toon and stuffed them into Ling Xiaowei's basket.
Ling Xiaowei is so happy! I have gained a lot today!
"Don't talk!" Wang Haohao suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Everyone held their breath and looked in the direction of Wang Haohao. They saw a pheasant with colorful feathers and a long tail slowly walking under the basket. Ling Xiaoqiang clenched his fists excitedly and shouted: "Pull the rope quickly."
