Chapter 272 Barbecue under the sunset
Chapter 272 Barbecue under the sunset
In addition to the morning glories, Malan, Lingxiao, Bianhua, Datura, etc. that Su Keke knew on this mountain peak, there were also many varieties that she did not recognize.
There is a thin and small wild flower with roots and leaves like weeds and purple-blue flowers with a shape similar to morning glory. Grandma Qiao told her that this kind of flower is called Arabina and has a strong growth ability.
"This name is so special!" Su Keke picked a small flower and held it in his hand for a long time.
"There are many more with special names!"
"Look over there, a bright red flower bud looks beautiful! That one is called a poppy!"
"The one with a little blue among the green bushes next to it is called the golden marble!"
"There are also those at the edge of the mountain. The leaves are a bit like tea leaves. There are so many white flowers in the middle of the leaves. This kind of flower is called crucian carp gallbladder."
"Hahaha! Can this flower be eaten? Just by the name, it can be included in the recipe!"
Su Ke leaned forward and back ridiculously, looking like he was about to lie down in the sea of flowers.
"Coco, be careful! Don't fall and crush these flowers!"
"Come over here, there are many flowers here that I don't recognize! Take out your phone and help me take a photo with these flowers."
"That's right! Get me a shovel and I'll dig out a few and plant them in your space."
Grandma Qiao was really happy. Su Keke watched her squatting down and bending down, repeatedly looking for a good angle to take a photo.
Su Keke also cooperated very well by taking out her mobile phone from the space and taking three consecutive photos of her.
After taking the photos, the two took shovels and started digging out the flowers and plants that Grandma Qiao didn't recognize either.
After digging, the two entered the space and planted them in the open space outside the capsule house.
After doing this, the sunset has slowly set. Only the last touch of golden color remains in the sea of flowers.
The two found an open space next to the sea of flowers, and Su Keke moved out outdoor tables and chairs for camping, a cassette stove, and a barbecue grill from the space.
Finally, I picked up some common barbecue ingredients such as chicken wings, beef, shrimp, ham sausage, and corn.
With such beautiful scenery, it would be a shame not to have a barbecue here.
While the ingredients were marinating for half an hour, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao sat on chairs and watched the last ray of sunset in the mountains.
The wind in March is not too cold even if it blows in the evening. The two of them just watched leisurely until the last touch of sunset.
Su Keke took out an outdoor camping lamp from the space, and the two worked together. Su Keke stringed bamboo skewers while Grandma Qiao barbecued.
The shrimp and beef that are easy to cook are grilled in the first wave, and the chicken wings, ham sausage and corn are grilled slowly in the back.
While the two were happily having a barbecue on the hilltop, night was falling quietly in the valley.
There are no street lights in the valley. After dark, the men who worked in the fields during the day gradually go home.
They heard their wife talk about two outsiders coming to the valley during the day, and they all reflexively thought that it was the annual sacrifice day again.
Except for children, everyone in the valley basically knew about the sacrifice.
I don't know since when, the sacred flower that they regarded as a god in the valley suddenly began to wither slowly.
The owner of the valley led the residents in the valley to kill all the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home and offer them as offerings. The people in the entire valley knelt down and worshiped in the Divine Flower Hall for a day and a night.
The sacred flower was still withering day after day.
At that time, people throughout the valley began to panic.
Usually when everyone has a headache or fever, they go to the Divine Flower Temple to pray for a petal. Then they go home and soak in water and drink it, and it will be cured the next day.
Even if you are seriously ill, you can live for several more years by eating a few petals of the sacred flower.
If this sacred flower really disappears, what will their valley do in the future?
Without the blessing of the sacred flowers, can the Valley of Divine Flowers be passed down from generation to generation in such a safe manner?
Later, their valley owner found a way to find the life plasma. I don’t know where he found it.
At this time of year, you only need to pour a bowl of plasma on the sacred flower, and the sacred flower will grow vigorously throughout the year.
Later, rumors gradually began to spread in the valley, saying that there was a fierce creature living in the back mountain. He usually slept deeply and only woke up when the sacred flowers withered.
When it wakes up, it must sacrifice a living person. After this beast eats a living person, it will take the initiative to leave a bowl of plasma.
This plasma is what the village chief uses to water the sacred flowers.
Over the years, no one has disappeared inexplicably in the valley, so everyone feels at ease that the matter of feeding living people to ferocious beasts is just a rumor.
Until a few years ago, a few college students came to the valley, saying they were here to enjoy and sketch. At first, no one paid much attention to these students, and some Gu residents even opposed their arrival.
However, the owner of the valley was uncharacteristic and directly agreed to let them enter the valley to play.
Later, everyone heard that these college students were here to steal the sacred flowers in their valley.
Anyway, these students disappeared within a few days.
The owner of the valley said that they were caught stealing the divine flower and had been driven out of the divine flower valley.
This time, two more hikers came outside, and the valley owner’s attitude was also very strange. He actually let them enter the back mountain again!
Everyone in the valley knows that since the beast appeared, the back mountain has become an altar in the valley. Anyone who enters at night will be treated as a sacrifice by the ferocious beast.
It seems that those two people are also in danger.
Everyone is eating silently at home. They can't control these things, and they can't do it.
The owner of the valley and several stewards in the valley had no choice but to save the lives of the people in the valley.
The valley owner's family was also having dinner at the moment, and the eldest daughter came back with her son-in-law and grandson.
The Valley Master said disgusting words, but he was very happy in his heart.
He only has two daughters, and his wife passed away when the children were still young.
The two children were basically raised by the owner of the valley himself.
Ten years ago, his eldest daughter's insistence on his own behavior severely broke the heart of his old father. Now the younger daughter Liu Jingyin has grown up, and she will soon reach the age to find her husband's family.
In order to prevent his second daughter from making the same mistake as her elder sister, the owner of the valley has not allowed Liu Jingyin to leave the valley.
The four dishes and one soup in the evening were all made by his second daughter.
She was very happy that her sister was back, especially since her sister told her a lot about people and things outside.
He also gave her some beautiful dresses, which made this sister who had not been out of the valley for more than ten years very happy!
Liu Jingyin has never seen such a beautiful skirt. Girls in the valley have to learn how to make coarse cloth clothes from their adults since they were young. Every household here wears the kind of blue coarse cloth clothes.
Not to mention rough, it doesn’t look good at all! After listening to her sister's description of life outside for a day, Liu Jingyin was always eager to find a chance to go out with her sister to see the world.
"Come! Eat some food! Zhihong! Don't be polite! There isn't much to entertain in the countryside, but you can take care of yourself!"
The owner of the valley looked at his foreign son-in-law, who was fair and clean, read a lot of books, and respected himself. After a day of getting along with him, he actually felt more and more satisfied.
"Dad! This is my toast to you! When we come back this time, we won't leave in a short time. Let Hanyan and I honor you!"
Fang Zhihong was in real estate sales before the natural disaster, and his good words were sweeter than honey.
No, when he said this, the Valley Master almost burst into tears.
The two daughters were even more happy to see this scene of a happy family. Only the seven-year-old grandson was chewing on the chicken legs and devouring the food.
