Gu Yan finally bit the bullet and followed Tianbao.
After walking for half an hour behind Gu's house, we reached the foot of the mountain.
At this time, night falls, the moon hangs high, and there are two figures, one large and one small, on the only road leading to the foot of the mountain. The two of them walked tremblingly towards the foot of the mountain, following the moonlight.
Follow the road at the foot of the mountain and go straight up to the mountain. Last time, Tianbao only walked a small part of the way and was not able to go deep inside.
Fortunately, there are many ferocious beasts on this mountain in Stone Village. They came down the mountain and bitten the villagers three years ago. It is said that the ferocious beasts on the mountain went riot that day and rushed down the mountain for some unknown reason. Some of them ran to her house. .
This incident left a deep impression on her. During those days, her mother kept talking about how ferocious the beast on the mountain was.
Because of this, this mountain is considered to be completely inhabited. No one from the village has ever entered it. At most, they gather wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. Many rare medicinal materials on the mountain have not been destroyed, otherwise she would not have taken advantage of it.
However,
since she came down from the mountain in a panic last time, although she was in a mess, she was still unscathed. Maybe it will draw attention to the mountain in front of her again. This is not a good thing. It is best for this mountain to become her home.
From her family?
She has a solution!
Tianbao suddenly became energetic and walked very energetically. There are many villages in Fenglai County, and there are also many mountains, large and small. However, the mountain in Shitou Village is neither big nor small. If the Gu family buys No one will say anything, but it must be implemented as soon as possible.
The two of them gradually walked into the mountains, but as they walked, Tianbao gradually discovered that something was wrong. How many beasts were there on the mountain? Why can't I see one?
It wasn't that she had to see the beasts jumping around in front of her eyes, but that these beasts hadn't seen any movement since the moment they stepped into the forest, but it was always a good thing.
There are lush vegetation in the mountains. The further you go, the less clear you can see the road. Fortunately, there is a plain white lantern in the space. It is small and exquisite, and even a three-year-old child will not feel out of place when holding it in his hand.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Tianbao took out many needed things from the space and stuffed them all into the small carrier. He also took out the fire stick and lit the lantern. A bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Gu Yan blocked it with her hands in discomfort. Eyes, it took a moment to recover.
The bright candlelight leaked through the thin paper lanterns, seeming to form a circle around the two of them, making people seem peaceful for a moment.
With the light, Gu Yan saw clearly that her little sister was wearing all kinds of clothes. She was a little surprised, and then thought about it, did her little sister have these things on her when she came?
But the night was too dark, and she couldn't see clearly.
Gu Yan stepped forward and put all the things hanging on Tianbao's body into her own basket, so that Tianbao could be lighter.
Tianbao didn't stop her, she just asked Sixth Sister to help share part of it, but not all of it to her. If she needed to take something from the space, there would be no cover and it would be difficult to explain.
Tianbao held the lamp, followed by Gu Yan, and the two of them continued walking towards the mountains. After hearing that there were no wild beasts, the two of them walked much faster.
Not long after reaching the mountainside, Tianbao handed the water bag mixed with spiritual spring water to Gu Yan.
"Sixth sister, drink some water, let's take a rest."
The milky voice soothed people's hearts like magic.
Gu Yan was so tired that she panted and took the water bag handed over by her little sister. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Tianbao was not breathing at all. She was secretly surprised, but she didn't think much about it.
After Gu Yan drank water and rested for a while, she felt much more energetic. She turned around and saw Tianbao wandering aside, and her breathing froze.
Tianbao looked around with a lantern and found an old tree nearby. The tree had lush branches and leaves. There were dense barbs on the branches and body of the tree. There were strings of small green particles hidden among the leaves. They were all plump and round. Come closer. You can also smell a strange fragrance. This is a pepper tree!
Tianbao couldn't help but his eyes lit up. You must know that in ancient times at this time, there was not much pursuit of eating. As long as it was cooked and tasted salty, it didn't matter whether it was delicious or not.
Sichuan peppercorns are an indispensable ingredient. They can be used to make scallion pancakes and peppercorn chicken. You can also add some when cooking.
The Zanthoxylum bungeanum tree is as tall as an adult, but the three-year-old Tianbao can't even reach a leaf. Even if he stands on tiptoes, he can't reach the leaf at all.
"Sixth sister, come quickly."
She couldn't reach it and had to ask for outside help. She was also afraid that she would not be able to find this place in the future, so she pulled out a red ribbon from the space and tied it to the trunk of the tree. She was not afraid that she would not be able to find it in the future. .
Gu Yan put the water bag away and walked over quickly. She saw Tianbao wandering around a tree. She moved her eyes to the tree. The faint candlelight was scattered under the tree, and there was a touch of moonlight on the treetop. You can also smell a strange fragrance when you enter.
"Tianbao, what is this?" She didn't understand. Could it be that this tree was a treasure?
Under the cover of the moonlight, Tianbao threw the few young pepper saplings he found into the space, then quickly turned around and said to Sixth Sister Gu Yan: "Sixth Sister, pick some of these green fruits."
After that, he put his hand He handed the lantern inside to Sixth Sister so that she could carry it to pick peppercorns.
Gu Yan took the lantern and started to pick the fruits carefully. Tian Bao worriedly asked her to pay more attention and not to hurt her hands. After all, there were too many small thorns on them.
Gu Yan agreed, not daring to be distracted, and carefully picked the fruits from the pepper tree.
Tianbao dodged into the space and found the stone she had thrown in a few days ago. She remembered that there was a utility room in the space with everything in it, as well as an improved mini calculus machine.
Tianbao put the stone into the stone-cutting machine, pressed the button, and the machine started, cutting the stone in half in a moment.
She turned on the machine and took out the stone. There was only daylight in the space, so as soon as she turned on the machine and saw the faintly green stone inside, she couldn't contain her excitement.
After taking a closer look, as expected, it was actually a rough stone, or a rough jade stone.
The planting water is very good, the original stone is very green, a little transparent, I'm afraid it might be imperial green.
After packing up, she quickly left the space. Halfway up the mountain, Gu Yan was still picking peppercorns. She walked over and saw that she had picked about half the basket. The peppercorns had lush branches and no one had ever picked them, even if they had been picking them for a while. , I feel like there is no change.
"Sixth sister, let's pick these first, and we'll pick them quietly later." Let the Gu family also taste the taste of pepper.
Gu Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked down at half a basket of pepper fruits, and nodded.
"Tianbao, what are you doing with these?"
After a break, he looked around again, feeling that the silence was unnecessary, so he found something to talk about.
"You can eat it!"
Eat? This smells strange at first, and then smells numb again. Is this still edible?
