Chapter 317 The bird is bad, the bird is sick!
At this time, the weather began to change from cold to warm.
The two sisters have also done many important things according to their plans since the Lunar New Year:
For example, they turned over all the land in the outer courtyard over and over again, just waiting for the right time to sow the seeds;
For example, take out the clothes, shoes and blankets to wear in spring and summer, wash them, and air them out in the spring sunshine, so that they can be used directly when it gets warmer.
For example, the grill outside their house was used twice, and the roasted lamb legs they made there had a strong gamey smell, but the meat was very tender and delicious.
For example, all sorts of mushrooms and wild vegetables are about to sprout all over the mountains. They can't tell when they will sprout, so they have to go looking for them every other day, for fear that they will suddenly grow and be snatched up by people coming down from the mountain.
Unfortunately, each attempt ended in failure. Perhaps they've learned their lesson from being dug up so many times, and now they're all hiding from people and growing quietly.
Another day spent searching for wild vegetables and mushrooms~
Deep in the mountains, Lin Lanshan carefully stepped over the slippery moss on the stones.
Then he squatted down, put the bamboo basket on the ground, and stretched his neck and outstretched his hand to reach the thing on the slope. "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"
Lin Chunyi, who was carefully searching for mushrooms and wild vegetables among the dead branches and grass with a bamboo basket slung over her arm, turned around with delight upon hearing this and came closer to see: "You found wild vegetables? Let me see!"
"Haha, I got it!"
Lin Lanshan squatted there, holding up something in her hand and shaking it, "Sister, look how pretty this flower is!"
The flower in her hand had five petals, white with a hint of pink, and tender yellow stamens; there were several flowers on one stem.
It's small and round, and very pretty.
However, Lin Chunyi felt that "cute" was a more appropriate word to describe it than "pretty"...
No, no!
She shook her head, dispelling the whimsical thoughts that had filled her mind, and tapped the edge of the bamboo basket at Lin Lanshan's heel with the stick in her hand, saying:
"I told you to look for wild vegetables and mushrooms, what are you looking for here! Look at your basket, it's almost full of a bunch of wildflowers, not a single one is edible! Are you planning to eat them when we get back today?"
With so many varieties and shapes, and so many colors, she only recognized the most common ones, Veronica persica and Viola yedoensis.
As for the others, it's impossible to even tell whether they're poisonous or not!
As if guarding its food, Lin Lan quickly and nimbly held the bamboo basket in her arms, blocking the basket full of red, yellow, blue, and purple items.
"No! I'm taking these flowers back to find a jar to put on the stone table for display; they're not for eating."
"Get up and get down to business! If you can't find anything to eat today, I'll fry all those wildflowers for you to eat when we get back!"
"Ugh! You have absolutely no appreciation for flowers! How could you eat such a beautiful flower!"
Lin Lanshan was so shocked that she stood up abruptly and retorted, "Besides, there aren't any wild vegetables here. They haven't even grown yet. And you're still criticizing me? Show me how many wild vegetables you've dug up."
After saying that, he reached out to grab the bamboo basket in his sister's hand.
Lin Chunyi put her left hand, which was holding the basket, behind her back, glared at her, and said, "Go find it quickly, why are you talking so much!" Then she covered the bamboo basket and left.
She stared suspiciously at her sister's retreating figure, muttering under her breath, "If she didn't find anything, she didn't find anything. Why is she guarding an empty basket so tightly?"
As Lin Chunyi walked further away, she carefully watched to see if her younger sister was following.
Their movements were furtive and secretive.
Once she was a bit further away, she picked up the bamboo basket and looked at it, grinning as she said, "Hehe, she almost spotted me. She'll definitely try to steal my prettiest one, hmph~"
Inside the bamboo basket was a pinkish-purple flower with a slender stem.
The petals are heart-shaped with serrated edges, and there are six petals in total. The color of the petals gradually lightens from purple to pink as it moves from the edges towards the center.
The stamens are yellow, and there is a small dark brown five-pointed star in the center.
There are six or seven of these flowers on one branch, they are incredibly beautiful.
Lin Chunyi liked it at first sight and picked a flower from a small patch that was in full bloom.
She plans to take them home and hang them under a tree to make dried flowers, which will last a very long time.
Lin Lanshan was unaware that her sister had also secretly picked flowers. At this moment, she had suppressed her ruthless heart and was diligently searching for wild vegetables and mushrooms under the trees, in the grass, and in the crevices of the rocks.
"What is this? Not a single vegetable seedling. I've been searching for days, I can't go back empty-handed again today." He swept a broken stick he had picked up onto the ground.
Hey!
Another place where only weeds grow and no vegetables grow!
Wandering around and sweeping~
Hey! There seems to be a small bulge near the dead tree root in front!
Could it be a mushroom?
Lin Lanshan ran over and was about to gently sweep it away with a stick...
There was a "click" sound.
Good news, it really is a mushroom underneath, newly grown and very small.
Bad news: some idiot appeared out of nowhere and stepped on it, then calmly stood there looking up at her.
"..." Damn it, that stinky bird, and that mushroom!
This might be her only gain today, the only thing she can give her sister in return!
Who said this stinky bird is good? What's so good about this stinky bird? This stinky bird is simply insane!
"Idiot, are your eyes on the back of your head? Can't you see what's under your feet?" Lin Lanshan heard herself grit her teeth and ask it.
The idiot tilted his head, blinked, and seemed to be thinking about the meaning behind the words.
It took a while before it slowly raised its noble foot, looking at the mushroom beneath it, so shattered it was unrecognizable. "?"
What's wrong? These are just tree roots, you can't step on them.
Lin Lanshan was so angry that she pointed at it with a stick, and then pointed at it again!
"you you you!"
She bared her teeth in frustration, jumped up and down, and stomped her feet, yelling, "Aaaaah, my mushroom, you stinky bird! Stupid bird! Dumb bird!"
The idiot was also dissatisfied after hearing this, wondering why it had suddenly started cursing at it.
"Chirp chirp!" You're crazy, you're the stupid bird!
A man and a bird, unable to communicate, started hurling insults at each other under the tree.
"What are you doing now? What are you doing again!" Lin Chunyi suddenly appeared after wandering around for a while and returning empty-handed.
Lin Lanshan seemed to have found a backer at this moment. She raised her head, pouted, and ran over to shake her arm, turning into a tattletale.
"Sis~ Look at this silly bird! It trampled and ruined the mushrooms I finally found! Waaah~"
Lin Chunyi heard the word "mushroom" and quickly asked her, "Mushroom? You found a mushroom? What kind of mushroom? Let me see. Are there any others nearby? There can't just be one."
Lin Lanshan took her hand and walked over, pointing to the unidentified object and shaking her head: "There's only this one around here, and it's been trampled to pieces. I can't tell what it is."
Her gaze followed her sister's hand downwards.
Beneath the tree roots, amidst the withered pine needles and newly sprouted grass...
There was a flower, or rather, a clump of something brownish-yellow, like a withered tree root, that had died there.
Lin Chunyi glanced at the fool who felt wronged, then thought for a moment and concluded: "Let's go, I think it's probably poisonous and we can't eat it."
Lin Lanshan pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, I think so too. Let's go look at other places."
Whether it's poisonous or not is unimportant; what's important is that it's inedible.
