Mu Zhihong frowned, and couldn't say anything more, so he had to leave.

He suddenly remembered that he could smell the fragrance from the direction of their kitchen from a long distance just now, and he planned to go to the kitchen to have a look, but was interrupted by Mo Yunshen, so he couldn't go.

When he came to Mu Zhihong's house, the tortoise was still lying there motionless like a rock, and Mu Zhihong's eyes were full of disgust: "Hurry up and find a way to get it away!"

Mu Zhihong was secretly amused, pretended to bow to the big turtle, and carefully said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Turtle, Mr. Turtle, come back with me, we will catch fish to feed you, and keep it for you to eat, okay? You see you are here, you can only hibernate, what's the fun?"

Mu Zhihong and Jiang Shi were speechless for a while, feeling a little contemptuous in their hearts: It's shameful for a dignified person to be so submissive to a tortoise! What an embarrassment!

But by chance, the big tortoise followed suit. With a sound of "Ba da!", he stretched out his head, tail and limbs, raised his head, and gave Mo Yun a deep look arrogantly.

Mo Yunshen still smiled embarrassingly, showing no temper: "Mr. Turtle, please!"

The big turtle raised its head high, walked proudly and swayed away from Mu Zhihong's house, without even glancing at Mu Zhihong and Jiang Shi from the corner of his eyes.

Mo Yunshen bid them farewell, turned around and left with Da Gui.

Far enough away from Mu Zhihong's house, Mo Yunshen jumped onto the back of the big turtle, and slapped the back of its neck with his big palm: "Go back quickly, don't dawdle!"

The big tortoise let go of its four hooves and galloped "whoosh!", showing no trace of arrogance.

On the other side, Mu Zhihong said with infinite contempt: "Make yourself look like a grandson in front of that old tortoise, our family can't afford such a thing, shame on you!"

He finally felt complete in his heart.

Jiang Shi also deeply agrees.

Just thinking about making it look like a grandson, so what? At any rate, that damned tortoise helped them with the work, and it was worth a lot of labor. Alas, it's still a big loss...

The big tortoise finally came back, Xiao Ya'er and Xiao Luan couldn't be happier, they hugged its neck, patted its back, screaming and laughing very happily.

After getting along for a long time, the big tortoise also liked them very much. He stretched out his head and rubbed against them affectionately, then motioned for them to climb on its back, and ran twice in the wide yard with them on its back. The younger sister and younger brother giggled happily.

The next morning, Da Gui followed Mu Qingli and Mo Yunshen to cut firewood as usual.

Before going out, Xiao Ya'er suddenly said: "By the way, elder sister, brother Gao said yesterday that he asked you to go to pick salt together in two days, and let you go there when you have time in these two days to discuss the date."

Mining salt? It seems that there is such a thing.

Every year before the onset of the rainy season, salt is collected, and the salt collected often takes a year to eat. Pick again after a year.

It is the best season to collect salt. After the rainy season, there is too much rain, and it is more troublesome to collect salt.

Therefore, almost every year at this time, people in the village gather in groups to gather salt.

The salt here is very good, with a hint of peach pink in the snow white, and a special fragrance, which is very tasty for cooking.

This kind of salt also has a nice name, called peach blossom salt.

It can be preserved for two or three years for pickled vegetables and meat without deterioration.

If you are bitten by mosquitoes, work in the mountains and cut your mouth, or have been bitten by snakes and ants, you can go home and mix it with warm water into light salt water, and wash it two or three times.

"Okay, when we come back today, we will go to their house." Mu Qingli said after discussing with Mo Yunshen.

Xiao Ya'er smiled and said, "Then can we go and accompany Aunt Tang?"

Considering that they are still children, it is natural that they should go out and play more with other children. It is not a problem to be locked at home all day.

"Then you all go!" Mu Qingli said with a smile: "Bring some calla and bamboo shoots, and have lunch there by the way."

Although Aunt Tang and the others couldn't afford to eat a half-meal for the two little ones, but, after all, they were not relatives, and in a place where food was precious, it was not easy to always go to other people's homes to eat and drink for free.

The younger sister and brother obviously understood this truth, and agreed with a burst of cheers.

Xiao Ya'er said again: "Sister, you don't need to bring it, we can help Aunt Tang pull wild vegetables."

Mu Qingli's heart softened when she heard that, and she said with a smile: "If you want to help, you can help, don't treat it as a task. My sister and brother-in-law can afford to support you, so how can you use you as child labor and still eat! Right?"

"What your sister said is true," Mo Yun said with a deep smile, "Don't worry about these things in the future."

The younger sister and younger brother blushed, and nodded shyly: "Understood, sister and brother-in-law."

Mu Qingli originally planned to leave a key for them, but the sister and brother both refused to keep it. Said to wait for them to come back and then go home by themselves.

Xiaoluan said hesitantly: "If Mu Fangping comes to grab the key, we're afraid we won't be able to beat her."

In fact, it's not necessarily that she can't beat her, it's just that Mu Fangping has the support of her parents, and she has the status of an older sister, so they don't dare to do anything to her as younger siblings.

Mu Qingli sighed secretly and had no choice but to give up. Then keep locking the door.

Today, the two continued to cut firewood in the forest with huge trees and a wide and transparent place yesterday.

With Xiao Ya'er's words from last night, the two of them seemed much calmer today.

After chopping for a long time, I harvested six or seven huge branches, each of which was more than one foot long.

According to Xiaoya'er's words, one split would be enough to burn for a month, not to mention there are piles of firewood, big and small, like a hill, and there are at least five or six bundles of firewood tied up.

"Let's walk around in the afternoon to see if there is anything fresh to eat nearby," Mu Qingli said.

"Okay!" Mo Yunshen also felt that finding food was more interesting than chopping firewood. You may have discovered something new.

After lunch, the two picked a direction and walked forward. This piece of woods was just right, wide and sparse, bright and transparent, with spots of sunlight falling down, birds chirping crisp and melodious, and leaves rustling when blown by the wind. .

It is very pleasant to walk in.

"Ah, there are so many raspberries! Why, there are raspberries over there! Now we are lucky!"

In front of you are large patches of small green shrubs that are about knee-high, dotted with countless thumb-sized red berries, so attractive. This is raspberry.

And in the front left, there are also shrubs one by one. This one is going to be taller, one or two meters high, and the branches are also covered with big red berries. This is raspberry.

Although both of these berries are red, the raspberry is more vividly red, and the fruit is hollow and looks larger; while the raspberry fruit is shaped like a reduced version of the hazelnut, which is dark red.
