A stunning beauty came to the compound[70s]

Fengming Mountain, two kilometers away from the 126th Army, stands tall. In the early years of famine, many people went up the mountain to hunt and pick wild fruits, and barely managed to survive.

Now that conditions are better, everyone goes up the mountain from time to time, digging ginseng in autumn and picking fruits in summer. In winter, it is cold and there are few things to dig. Wild winter mushrooms and sea buckthorn fruits are the few foods suitable for picking in winter.

Thick snow covered the mountains, as if wrapping the mountains and forests with a layer of silver. Hong Bo led the way, with three female comrades in the middle and Gu Chengan at the rear.

A group of people followed the footprints left by the hunters who entered the mountain in the morning.

"There are a lot of things in our mountains. We have hunted wild roe deer before. Wild roe deer run very fast. Anyway, I can't catch up with them." Xie Chengying has lived here for many years. Compared with Su Yin and Gu Chenghui, she seems to be more at ease.

"Sister, this is really tiring." Gu Chenghui said with a heavy breath, half of her body weight was on the branches.

Everyone was wearing heavy clothes. It was hard to climb the mountain in full armor.

Su Yin also walked slowly. Although she was tired, her curiosity about the mountains in the northeast in winter overcame everything.

Hong Bo was the first to find the sea buckthorn forest. A piece of wild orange-red sea buckthorn fruit, like a glow of orange, looked particularly charming in the white snow.

Hong Bo broke off a branch, separated two branches, and picked sea buckthorn berries with Gu Chengan.

Under the sea buckthorn tree, small fruits that were frozen solid fell one by one with a ding-dong sound. Xie Chengying took two young girls to pick them up and put them into cloth bags.

Sea buckthorn berries ripen in autumn, and the peel is soft. It is easy to damage the peel when picking the fruits. On the contrary, they are frozen hard in winter. If you hit the trunk of the sea buckthorn tree with a wooden stick, hundreds of fruits will fall one after another, which is much more convenient.

After a while, Xie Chengying and the other two had already filled three cloth bags. They tied the bags and said, "Let's go back and add some honey to cook it. It's delicious!"

Gu Chenghui pinched a sea buckthorn fruit and put it into her mouth. She had never eaten it before, but her face wrinkled as soon as she tasted it, "Oh, it's so sour."

Xie Chengying laughed, "It's sour if you eat it like this. You're not used to it for the first time. I can only eat a few."

While talking, he picked up a fruit and threw it into his mouth, feeling the familiar sour taste.

Su Yin was also curious. She tasted one even though she knew it was sour. Maybe she was mentally prepared, so her face didn't wrinkle because of the sour taste.

The harvest of sea buckthorn berries weighed more than ten kilograms. Hong Bo weighed them and put them all into his bag. Gu Chengan wanted to help, but he waved his hand to refuse.

"No, I've been into the mountains more often and I'm used to carrying these things. You should take care of Xiao Su and Chenghui."

Gu Chengan didn't force it and went north again.

The snow on the mountain was thick. Looking around, there was endless snow, and tall shrubs stood in the white snow, cold and pure. Su Yin and Gu Chenghui, who had never seen such a snowy scene, were in a playful mood and built snowmen along the way.
