Chapter 294 Fireflies
After the banquet.
The two of them were soaking their feet in the light of the coal lamp. Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin's face, which was so dark that it reflected light, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Wife, don't you like black people?" Chen Sanlin said a little flustered. Both Xiaoman and that damn Wang Zeren were quite white.
Does my wife just like white?
"Puchi! No, it's just that Brother Chen, you look so funny. It's almost the end of summer, how can you be so tanned?" Then she took his hand again and looked at it.
The palm and back of the hand are completely two different colors.
Seeing that Chen Sanlin was a little depressed, Xu Wenyan quickly comforted him: "Wait until autumn and take a rest for two days, you can go back for nothing."
Chen Sanlin nodded, lifted Xu Wenyan's feet, wiped them clean, and then held his hand: "Wife, I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are you going so late?"
"Just follow me."
The young man's hands in front of him were very warm, and Xu Wenyan was led forward by him. That was the direction of the rapeseed field. All the crops were planted late this year.
The rapeseed will be ready for harvest in half a month, and now it is still green pods.
The rapeseed plants were growing well, just about a head shorter than Xu Wenyan.
Chen Sanlin let go of Xu Wenyan's hand in front of the vegetable field: "Wait for me here."
After saying that, he ran towards the rapeseed field.
Xu Wenyan stood still obediently. The night wind was accompanied by the chirping of insects. He looked in the direction where Chen Sanlin ran. Tiny glows of fireflies flickered in the rapeseed field and rose into the sky.
Wherever the boy passed by, fireflies appeared. The green light gathered together to illuminate a corner of the night sky.
"Wow."
A smile appeared on Xu Wenyan's face. He still remembered seeing fireflies in his uncle's vegetable garden when he was a child, but there were only a few of them.
This was the first time Xu Wenyan had seen something of this scale.
Romantic and stunning.
Chen Sanlin ran over with the wind and stood side by side with Xu Wenyan, looking at Xu Wenyan with anticipation.
Facing the young man's scorching eyes, Xu Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth and hooked his finger at him: "Lower your head."
The wet tongues intertwined together, and in the light of the fireflies, the lingering breathing sounds rose and fell.
Xu Wenyan held the man's angular jaw and lightly touched his lips with his thumb.
In the thick atmosphere of ambiguity, Chen Sanlin put his arms around Xu Wenyan's waist with his fingertips pointing downwards.
Fireflies compete with moonlight for brilliance, and people are entangled under their brilliance.
......
I don't want to go to the county today.
It was already noon when he woke up. Xu Wenyan got up, holding his waist, and started cooking after a simple wash. The children at home should have gone to the mountain to cut grass at this time.
"I'll do it." Chen Sanlin came in from the yard outside wearing a straw hat, took the kitchen knife from Xu Wenyan and helped cut vegetables.
Although his wife said that she didn't dislike him, he still didn't want to continue to be in a bad mood.
"Brother Chen, let's go out after dinner."
I can't say this to Chen Sanlin. Last night, I said, "Okay, okay. But the children are in the yard during the day..."
Before Chen Sanlin could finish his words, Xu Wenyan kicked him on the butt: "What the hell is in your head? I mean, let's go to the pond. I see that the mulberries in the village are already ripening."
"Ah? Oh oh." Chen Sanlin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he didn't work hard enough last night.
While eating, Xu Wenyan checked Xiaoman's wound.
As expected, without that dead kid Luo Sanyuan around, Xiaoman's legs healed much faster, and now walking on his own is no problem.
Taking some water and biscuits, Xu Wenyan sat on the mule cart and said goodbye to Xiaoman: "I'll leave the housework to you. Brother Xingjie will come to help you today."
"it is good."
Xiaoman is still the most reliable. Xu Wenyan drove the mule cart and they headed towards the pond.
It has been a while since I last came here. Xu Wenyan reached out and pulled two leaves from a nearby tree: "Brother Chen, how did you find this place?"
Chen Sanlin thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say at that time that we should find a secluded place? So I took the difficult road.
The main reason was the sound of water. The waterfall was very loud. If we hadn’t found the cave entrance, we would have had to take a long detour to get there.”
Xu Wenyan nodded. In fact, Chen Sanlin was very reliable.
Moreover, this rough hunter has good physical fitness. After such an exhausting workout last night, he is still full of energy today.
The shed on the mountainside was built by Zhou Jianye and Xiaohu these two days. At least it can keep out wolves, so there is no problem in putting the mule in it.
It is still a familiar section of road. As I climbed this mountain many times, there naturally became a road. At least it is easier to walk on. The red beans and black beans on the road have all turned into green pods.
Xiaoman came back and told Xu Wenyan that she didn't expect that she would grow better this year than last year.
The trees in the orchard by the stream were basically alive. As soon as Xu Wenyan approached, he saw the dark red fruits on the trees.
Because it was transplanted last year, although there are fruits this year, there are not many.
We have to wait a while before going to pick them from the old mulberry tree.
"Brother Chen, open your mouth." Xu Wenyan picked the biggest and darkest one and gave it to Chen Sanlin.
Because his tongue was open a little too wide, when he put the mulberry in his mouth, it brushed against the edge of his finger. Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan embarrassedly.
Xu Wenyan smeared his saliva on Chen Sanlin's clothes with a look of disgust.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah, very sweet." Chen Sanlin nodded slightly disappointed.
He had encountered these strange fruits when hunting in the mountains before, but at that time he had to concentrate on observing the prey, and he didn't recognize many of the fruits, so he had never picked them to taste.
Since my wife got married, life at home has changed dramatically compared to before.
In the past, Chen Sanlin’s favorite food was the dishes cooked by his mother. Now, no one’s cooking is as delicious as Xu Wenyan’s.
As usual, he first went to check the wood ears in the wood ear field. He would call it that from now on. Xu Wenyan had already built a lot of wood.
The wood ears inside were growing well. The last time Xiaoman and his friends came, they did not come here. So when Xu Wenyan got closer, he saw the densely packed wood ears on the poles.
"Brother Chen! We're rich!" Before picking the mulberries, they started picking the wood ears.
Xu Wenyan called Chen Sanlin over and asked him to pick the fruits. He also placed a lot of wooden stakes on the surrounding trees.
In this large piece of land, Xu Wenyan has used dozens of trees as wood ear racks.
With so much fungus today, I can make at least four or five taels of silver.
Moreover, since Chen Sanlin put the traps back, there have been basically no large animals visiting the shelter, and the pumpkins previously planted in the vegetable garden are now edible.
The leaves have been almost eaten by bugs, but it’s strange that the bugs didn’t eat the melons but ate the leaves instead.
The current shelter is simply a Feng Shui treasure land. Xu Wenyan is already considering whether he needs to come back to maintain the shelter from time to time.
After picking the fungus, Xu Wenyan also expanded the fungus field. The two of them walked towards the old mulberry tree with baskets.
You won’t know until you go there, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
This mulberry tree grows the most standard mulberries, with the entire tree being a uniform black and red color.
Xu Wenyan could smell the strong fruity aroma from a distance.
There are many on the trees and even more on the ground. Once the mulberries are ripe, they fall off easily. Xu Wenyan is already late.
Looking at Xu Wenyan's happy expression, Chen Sanlin knew that he couldn't go back unless he finished picking the fruits today.
