Chapter 59 False alarm of a skeleton ghost10,000 words(2/2)
Qin Xiaoxiao was a little moved. She was really curious about what the mountain looked like. As long as you don’t go to the deep mountains, you won’t be able to meet a big cat, right? Even if you meet it, as the big brother said, just one big cat, Dahuang and Mimei would definitely drive it away.
Dabao saw the little cousin's thoughts and added another fire: "Look at Meme, I have been holding it at home for so long, and I must have thought of running around the mountain. There are a lot of delicious grass on the mountain, so it must be very happy when it goes."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and pointed his little head: "Okay, I'll go, Sanbao and Sister Qingqing will go too."
Dabao was very happy, afraid that his little cousin would regret it, so he immediately responded: "Okay, you can carry your own small baskets and pick up a little at that time."
Hehe, this time I went up the mountain just to pick up mushrooms, and I really wouldn't go to the mountains. The periphery is very clean, and there will be no danger to bring my younger brothers and sisters. On the contrary, as long as my sister goes, I am still afraid that I won't be able to pick up mushrooms?
If you pick up a lot of mushrooms, you can sell them for a lot of money. When you go back to the city, you can not only buy fun things, but also delicious food. It’s great!
Dabao's mind was a joke and was about to carry the basket when he suddenly felt that the basket was too small, so he simply changed it to a basket for adults. He fantasized that he could carry a basket full of mushrooms later, and he smiled so hard that he couldn't see the eyes.
For a child as old as Qin Xiaoxiao, picking up mushrooms is a fresh and fun thing. When Sanbao and Hu Qingqing heard that Qin Xiaoxiao was going, they hurriedly agreed, took it seriously and followed Dabao with great enthusiasm.
After the adults found out, they felt that it was not dangerous to pick up some mushrooms by the mountain, so they did not stop Qin Xiaoxiao. They just told Dabao not to go deep into the mountains, and be alert when picking up mushrooms, and not to let his younger brothers and sisters be alone.
I don’t know if I wanted to join in the fun or other reasons, but when Zhao Xiuxiu and Xueya found out, they also proposed to pick up mushrooms.
Dabao didn't think much about it. Anyway, there were many people going there. There was no impact on two more people and two less people, so he nodded and agreed.
So, the six children of the Qin family went out together, carrying baskets of different sizes, and went to the entrance of the village to meet with other children who were going to pick up mushrooms.
There are many people going up the mountain to pick up mushrooms this time, most of them bring their own younger brothers and sisters like Dabao, hoping to pick up more mushrooms and sell them more money at that time. There are 36 children of all sizes present, and it can be said that most of the children from half of the village have gathered, among which Qin Xiaoxiao is the youngest.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao leading Dahuang and Mimei coming, many children gathered around and asked Dahuang if he would catch many rabbits when he arrived on the mountain and would not come back as soon as he entered the mountain. He also reminded Qin Xiaoxiao to tie a rope for Mimei so that it would not really run away.
Looking at the large group of children about the same age as him, Qin Xiaoxiao was very happy and said with a smile: "...It's very tiring to catch rabbits. Dahuang can eat enough by catching a big rabbit. He shouldn't catch a second one; meimei is what he wants to stay, it won't run away, and it will be unhappy when he tied a rope to it..."
After listening to her explanation, I looked at Dahuang and Meme who were following her in an endless manner. These children were very envious and thought that this was too majestic. They also wanted such friends.
A child asked naively: "When Dahuang gives birth to a puppy, can you give me one?"
Before Qin Xiaoxiao answered, Dabao laughed first: "Dahuang is a male, and he will not give birth to a puppy."
When the child heard this, he was extremely disappointed: "Why can't you give birth to a man!"
A bigger child who was closer to him patted his head, and said with a smile: "Go back and ask your father, your father is a husband, and you can't give birth to you and your brothers and sisters."
The child present burst into laughter and made the child's face flushed.
Dozens of children, one glance at me and one voice, walked up the narrow mountain road lively, chirping and chirping like the sparrows standing on the treetops in the morning singing. It was just raining and the grass was covered with water. As the way down, the grass clippings and trouser legs were wet, which was a little uncomfortable.
Qin Xiaoxiao, Sanbao and Hu Qingqing were all the first time going up the mountain. They were inevitably excited. They didn’t care if their shoes and trousers were wet. They asked questions along the way, but they never stopped.
Especially Qin Xiaoxiao, she is beautiful and cute, and is the most beautiful child recognized in the village. Although these little kids are still young, they already have their own aesthetics. Every time she asks something, before Dabao says it, a group of children will solve her doubts. After a while, they squeeze Dabao to the side, making Dabao so depressed.
Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was like stars in front of him, Zhao Xiuxiu, who was falling behind, was deeply jealous. She touched her face. It was obviously not bad, but since childhood, as long as she and Qin Xiaoxiao appeared in front of others at the same time, the first thing they praised was Qin Xiaoxiao.
She angrily grabbed the weeds on the roadside, and felt a deep sense of reluctance in her heart. Seeing Xueya looking at Qin Xiaoxiao, her eyes rolled and said with ulterior motives: "It's cheap to look good. There are so many people holding it at such a young age. It's okay to grow up!"
Xue Ya is only six years old and is a real child. She didn't hear the disgusting hint in Zhao Xiuxiu's words. She thought Zhao Xiuxiu was just simply praising Qin Xiaoxiao's beauty, so she curled her lips and said, "I am pretty and can't be eaten as a food. My mother said that the girl's family must be diligent and capable to attract people to be loved."
Zhao Xiuxiu twitched the corner of her lips, cursed a fool in secret, and sobbed her as she said: "The second cousin said that is right, but look at her, she plays wildly everywhere every day and does nothing. She still praises her for being well-behaved and sensible all day long. You, you do whatever you want to burn fire, wash dishes and sweep the floor, and you haven't seen the second cousin praise you!"
Xue Ya's face changed. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought of her mother's completely different attitude towards her and that smelly girl.
But she was very strong. In front of Zhao Xiuxiu, the closest sister, she would not admit that her biological daughter was not as good as a niece in the room in front of her mother. So she said with a stern face: "She is only three years old, and she is making trouble in everything! When I was three years old, I was still playing around like her."
Zhao Xiuxiu didn't expect that Xue Ya would be called back and suddenly became frustrated. She wanted to teach Xue Ya a good lesson, but she kept pretending to be a good sister in front of Xue Ya, so how could she do this!
She felt angry and her chest became even more stuffy. She glared at the back of Qin Xiaoxiao's head, wishing she could have two blood holes on it.
The people in front of them were not aware of anything and were still discussing enthusiastically which mountain to pick up mushrooms.
Among them, seven or eight older children often run into the mountains. They are clear about the fact that there are more mushrooms on the hill and which one is better. So they led the way and took a few of them to a small hill a little far away from the village.
The oldest of these older children is only twelve years old, but it is indeed very reliable. The reason why they choose a mountain far away from the village is to take care of the youngest children. Their calves are shorter and they are most likely to be tired. They are still in a hurry to go up the mountain. They can walk such a long way in one go, and they will not drag everyone down.
Second, this mountain is a very gentle hill. The trees on the mountain are sparse and the grass is short-short, so it is effortless to walk, and it is easier to pick up mushrooms, which is very in line with the expectations of children.
When I lost the energy later, I thought that I could still grit my teeth and hold on if I got closer to the village, otherwise from near to far, I was afraid that few children would be able to hold on. I would not have to send them home in the middle of the journey, which would be a waste of time.
When we arrived on the hill, the more than thirty children dispersed in groups of three or three, and each looked for a direction to find mushrooms.
This mountain treasure has been here several times and is very familiar with the situation above. So he chose a direction and took his younger brothers and sisters to look for a more gentle area on the slope.
Qin Xiaoxiao was carrying a small basket on her back, staring at the ground with big round eyes. On the way she came, she had already asked how to pick up germs. At this moment, she was full of confidence and fantasizing about picking up a full basket and taking them all home to make soup.
Suddenly, she saw a large area of umbrellas that looked very similar to bacteria not far away, and she ran over with her short legs excitedly.
Seeing this, Dahuang and Agar also followed suit.
Qin Xiaoxiao approached the umbrella object and found that it was the appearance of the bacteria that everyone mentioned on the road. So she ignored the appearance of these umbrella objects, and stretched out her hand and carefully picked up one.
Dahuang and Araga were very curious and lowered their heads to sniff the red bacteria, but immediately retreated and sneezes several times.
Qin Xiaoxiao did not notice any abnormalities between Dahuang and Araga. She raised her high and shouted excitedly at Dabao: "Big brother, there are so many mushrooms!"
The little girl's shouting attracted the attention of many people. However, when she saw clearly what the bacteria in her hand was, her face suddenly changed, and Dabao's tone became even more sharp and harsh: "Sister, throw it away, throw it away!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's smile froze on his face, staring at the bright red mushrooms in his hand, and was at a loss: "Big, big brother, this is mushrooms!"
Before Dabao could explain, he rushed over quickly, grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's wrist and swung it hard, and then threw away the bacteria in her hand. He shook his hand and took out a bamboo tube filled with water from the backpack, and rubbed Qin Xiaoxiao's little hand back and forth.
This unusual behavior scared Qin Xiaoxiao, and his voice was filled with a hint of crying: "Big Brother..."
Dabao's face turned pale. While rubbing her hands hard, he comforted him: "It's okay, I'll just wash it for you."
At this time, several older children who received the news also arrived.
They first looked at Qin Xiaoxiao's hands and found that they had just been rubbed red by Dabao and had no other problems. Their face looked a little better. Then they squatted down and observed the bright red bacteria carefully. They saw that the bacteria were not damaged and no juice oozed out, so they completely breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, why did this skeleton ghost grow up here!" One of the older children looked at the large area of bright red mushrooms on the ground and frowned.
Another said: "It might be that some animal had taken the roots of this thing to jump onto this mountain, otherwise what would have grown in the deep mountains would have appeared here."
This statement was unanimously agreed by several other older children.
They have heard of the infamous reputation of skeleton ghosts from their elders more than once. Every time they bring their own younger brothers and sisters into the mountain, they also carefully remind them again and again, so that when they see the red bacteria, they must not touch them.
There is no reason. This skeleton ghost is just like its name. It is a very scary existence when it hears it. Although it looks bright red and beautiful, it is very poisonous.
Whether it is a human or an animal, once you accidentally eat a skeleton ghost, there is no possibility of survival. Even if you accidentally get the juice, the place you touch will be corroded and rotted. So just now, these children are scared like this when they see Qin Xiaoxiao holding the skeleton ghost.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao was very careful. He didn't break it when he picked up the skeleton ghost, otherwise the pink and tender little hand would have left an ugly scar after being corroded.
Dabao looked at his little cousin who was so scared that his little face turned pale, and said blamingly: "It's all my brother who is not good, and I haven't explained the poisonous bacteria to you clearly."
In fact, Dabao cannot blame this point. There are so many poisonous bacteria, and it is not easy to explain it clearly with a few words when it comes to popularizing science with a three or four-year-old child.
He originally thought that even if his younger brothers and sisters picked up the toxins, as long as they didn't eat it, it would be fine. Then he would pick it out and throw it away, but he never expected that such a large skeleton ghost would appear on this hill that had been here several times.
Qin Xiaoxiao, who looked scared, heard the elder brother say this and hurriedly said, "I'm too careless. I didn't ask the elder brother first. This is not the elder brother's fault."
"Well, I'll find mushrooms later, so I'll say to my brother first." Dabao rubbed the little cousin's furious head and made up his mind to look at her well. If such a cute little cousin had something happened to his nose, he would have to cry to death!
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly responded to the elder brother's advice, then stared at the skeleton ghost on the ground, and said depressedly: "Why are so pretty, why are you so poisonous!"
Her appearance looked very cute. Several older children couldn't help but reach out and rub her head like Dabao, and smiled: "So it's the old saying that 'You shouldn't look good', and the same is true for this mushroom."
Qin Xiaoxiao thoughtful and secretly warned himself that nothing should be looked at just on the appearance, otherwise he would suffer a great loss if he was not careful!
The lessons learned this time were completely remembered by Qin Xiaoxiao, so that later she met a very beautiful big brother, and always felt that this big brother who was good to her had ulterior motives.
This matter has passed without any danger. Everyone is glad that Qin Xiaoxiao escaped the disaster. Even Xue Ya comforted Qin Xiaoxiao a few words. Only Zhao Xiuxiu wanted to pick up a few skeleton ghosts immediately and stuff them into Qin Xiaoxiao's mouth.
In order to prevent a child from picking up this skeleton ghost again, several older children broke branches and destroyed all the skeleton ghosts, and prohibited other children from getting close to this place, so as not to accidentally get the skeleton ghost juice.
When the night passes, these broken skeleton ghosts and juice will be diluted and will not pose a threat to people.
Next, everyone scattered and continued to look for bacteria.
This time, Qin Xiaoxiao was much more careful. When he saw the brightly colored mushrooms, he took a detour and picked up those gray mushrooms.
However, the gray bacteria are not all non-toxic. Every time she finds a new strain, she will ask Dabao first and then pick it up if she is sure that it is not poisonous.
There are also bacteria that are very special. Eating them raw will cause poisoning, and cooking them will make them delicious. Naturally, these bacteria should be picked up well, and they will be delicious, either fried or cooked.
This mountain is not big and does not have many mushrooms. Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxiao is lucky and can always find the place with the most mushrooms. Therefore, after picking up the entire mountain, most children only had a few flowers in their baskets, which was not enough to make a bowl of soup. There was already half a basket in her small basket.
It’s just that Dahuang and Mimei are particularly good at making trouble. Every time they see something she pick up, they must come over to join in the fun. There are many troubles that she didn’t have time to pick up, otherwise she would be able to pick up more.
Dabao knew that his little cousin was lucky, so he took his younger brothers and sisters to follow her, and he also picked up a lot.
Only Zhao Xiuxiu came to the mountain this time, but she picked up a few flowers to pretend to be there. But the man followed Qin Xiaoxiao tightly, looking around with his eyes, not knowing what he was looking at.
When everyone gathers together and is about to rush to the next mountain, they will inevitably show their gains to others and show off their ability. Unfortunately, no one can compare to Qin Xiaoxiao, which made several older children laugh at themselves: "It's so embarrassing. We run into the mountains every year, and we are not as good as a little baby who has gone up the mountain for the first time!"
Qin Xiaoxiao was very happy and felt a little proud. She raised her little head and blinked her big eyes and looked at Dabao, hoping to get a few words of praise.
Dabao naturally did not disappoint her and said proudly to those people: "That's right, my sister is good at everything, and I will definitely be the first to fill her backpack later."
Seeing his despise of being sampled, several older children felt itchy and wanted to beat him up on the spot and then snatch his baby sister.
They also have sisters, but neither of them is as beautiful, cute and well-behaved as Qin Xiaoxiao. If Qin Xiaoxiao was their sister, they would take her to play with her every day.
Someone found that Zhao Xiuxiu picked up very few mushrooms, so he asked strangely: "Xiaoxiu, my mother kept saying that you were lucky, why did you pick up such a few mushrooms this time? It's more than half as long as your cousin."
Zhao Xiuxiu's face froze. Seeing that everyone else had looked over, she cursed the people who were asking questions in secret, but said, "Just pick up some and make soup, and you don't have to change money like you, pick up so much, why do you do it!"
This sounds like nothing wrong with it. These children also know that Zhao Xiuxiu has thirty taels of silver to her. However, her attitude is quite arrogant, and her tone unconsciously reveals her contempt for these children.
Children can’t hear it, but older children can’t hear it? These people didn’t want to be with her and said sarcastically: “Even if you are a person who lives under someone’s roof, you can eat and use it from Dabao’s family, so you’re embarrassed to say such things!”
