The richest man in the leisurely country

Chapter 72

"That's a snake, it's for snakes, people can't eat it."

Seeing that Chen Anran was about to put the red beetle in his mouth impatiently, Su Mu hurriedly stopped him.

He is really from the city, and he doesn't know what to eat and what not to eat.

"Huh? Bah bah..."

When Chen Anran heard it, she was startled immediately, and hurriedly dropped the scorpion that was put on her mouth, spit two mouthfuls of saliva in a hurry, her little face almost turned pale with fright.

Seeing her like this, Su Mu just smiled faintly, and shook his head helplessly.

"There are only three kinds of weeds on the mountain, one is white rice weed, which grows on the grass and can be eaten as long as it has not been bitten by insects, and the other one grows on thorny vines, most of which grow on the sills. , it’s black, you can eat that too.”

"Only this kind of red scorpion is poisonous. People can't eat it, but there are snakes that can eat it, so it is also called snake scorpion. But don't worry, this kind of poison is not very poisonous. People will only feel sick for a while after eating it. The poison will not kill people. "

Su Mu explained to Chen Anran while walking.

She is curious about everything now, but she can't tell whether she can eat it or not.

"Well, luckily I didn't eat just now."

Frightened, Chen Anran breathed a sigh of relief, and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

She felt that she had lost her composure, but fortunately she didn't eat, otherwise Su Mu would have made a joke.

The two walked straight along the road, and soon passed through the agricultural land, and came to the slope of the mud mountain, which was covered with various weeds.

Nowadays, few people feed livestock such as cattle and sheep, and even if they do, they don't stock up. Instead, they mow the grass and go back to feed it. As a result, the grass on the mountain grows very high, and the land is barren.

In the past, when Su Mu and the others were young, they often herded cattle. Even though the mountain was huge, it was still bare. This is the gap.

"Did you see it? There is white rice, you can pick and eat it."

As he walked, Su Mu suddenly found a patch of white flowers in the grass, and pointed there.

Because there are few cattle and sheep, weeds are overgrown, but there are more white rice than before.

"Wow, really, a lot of white rice."

"Can it be eaten like this? Will there be snakes or the like passing through it?"

Seeing the white rice all over the ground, Chen Anran yelled excitedly, trotted over, squatted on the ground and picked them up one by one with his fingers.

She wanted to just put it in her mouth and eat it, but she didn't dare to open her mouth because she was afraid it would be dirty.

"It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you don't eat the kind that has been bitten by insects. We often ate it when we were young. Don't look at it growing in the ground like this, it is actually very clean."

Fearing that Chen Anran would be worried, Su Mu picked up a few and threw them in his mouth while talking.

The white and tender white rice came into my mouth, and I chewed it lightly, and a sweet taste spread in my mouth, which was extremely sweet.

Speaking of which, Su Mu hasn't eaten white rice for many years, and he misses it very much.

No way, since I started studying, I don’t have much time to herd cattle. Especially after entering junior high school, I basically live on campus, and I only come back for one or two days a week.

"Well, it's really delicious and sweet."

After seeing Su Mu start to eat, Chen Anran no longer hesitated, picked up two pieces and put them in his mouth, and couldn't help praising them.

While talking, Chen Anran picked up a few more and threw them into his mouth.

The two of them squatted on the grass, and kept reaching for the white rice stalks on the ground, picking them off one by one and putting them in their mouths.

"I remember that some people in the city used to sell this one, which was bigger than this one, but it was not as sweet as this one, and the wild one was better."

Chen Anran's small mouth didn't stop at all, the more he ate, the more vigorous he was, he wished he could put all the white rice on the floor into his mouth.

I really didn't expect that she was still a snack.

"Yes, I saw that some people in the city sold it, but they were all grown by themselves. The white rice must also be grown in terms of growth conditions. Look at such a large mud mountain, some places have it, and some places don't."

"It only grows in the right place, so it tastes better."

Su Mu has figured out where there are white and red rice on this mountain since he was a child, and he can find them as soon as he matures.

The same is true for chicken fir. I know which days of the year it will grow, but sometimes others will take the lead.

What's more, they went so far that they couldn't find the chicken fir, and when they found it, they found out that someone else had taken the lead and dug through the chicken fir, so that there would be no chicken fir in that place.

After two years, the fir will move and grow to nearby places.

"Ah, it's really delicious."

Chen Anran's mouth never stopped, as if it was the first time he had eaten this delicious food, and he couldn't control it at all.

Seeing that she had eaten a lot, Su Mu also had some concerns.

"It's almost enough. If you eat too much of this, it's easy to get diarrhea. If you want to eat it, you can come back in two days. It's just that this is too rotten, so you can't take it away. Otherwise, you can pick some and take it back."

White rice is too tender and can be easily spoiled, which will not taste good.

Hearing this, Chen Anran's face became inexplicably hot and red. The white rice is so delicious that she didn't pay attention to her image just now, but now she realizes that she has eaten a lot.

This piece of white rice, most of it got into her mouth, it's really embarrassing to think about it now.

"Come on, I'll take you to the woods to see if you can find chicken fir, and if you're lucky, you can find red rice."

Su Mu knew that Chen Anran was embarrassed, so he didn't expose her, and led her to the front.

Chicken fir generally grows in shady and shady places with a lot of rotten wood. Generally speaking, it is easiest to find by the water or in the woods.

"Follow me. These places have been deserted. There are many weeds and thorns. Now it's hot. Pay special attention to snakes, because snakes will occasionally come out to bask in the sun in hot weather, and they like to be on the road. Disk."

Su Mu led the way and patiently reminded Chen Anran.

Rural people are used to this kind of thing often, just pay attention, don't step on them, if you encounter them, just walk around, as long as you don't provoke it, the snake will not take the initiative to attack people.

"what?!"

When Chen Anran heard it, she was startled and stood there looking around, not daring to move forward.

She was wearing a skirt, and if she was bitten by a snake, she would be poisoned.

Where can I find a doctor in this wilderness.

"It's okay, I'm just talking about it, you may not encounter it, and don't be afraid if you encounter it, since I'm here, they won't take the initiative to bite you."

"Besides, the snakes in this place are generally not poisonous. They are all cauliflower snakes, grass snakes, water snakes, etc. The poisonous ones won't kill you. Just follow me."

Seeing that Chen Anran was quite frightened, Su Mu hurriedly comforted him.

"When we were grazing cattle, we often encountered snakes. When we were ignorant, we often caught and played with them, especially the small snakes, which were slippery. After we caught them, we pulled out their teeth. It was fun."

"Especially by the stream, we often catch fish and frogs and the like. They like to drill into rocks. Sometimes when they reach in, they will catch a snake and come out, and then they can eat snake soup. Of course, these It’s better to eat less game.”

As Su Mu walked, he kept telling Chen Anran interesting stories about his childhood.

In fact, these are only the courageous ones who dare to do so, and the timid ones will also be frightened.

"I really didn't expect you to be so powerful. Then I won't be too afraid, but you can't scare me either."

After hearing this, Chen Anran patted her chest with lingering fear, obviously frightened enough.

This is just what Su Mu said, if he really saw it, he would be scared away.

"Hey, I said Village Chief Chen, you are really a crow's mouth, what do you see in front of you?"

As he was talking, Su Mu suddenly stopped and pointed to a long white thing on the side of the road ahead.
