After eating a meal, Chai Jun asked to bring over the things that had been prepared a long time ago, some clothes and climbing equipment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mountaineering clothing is a mixture of fine linen and cotton, manufactured by a special process, this kind of clothing has strong toughness, friction resistance, cut resistance, heat retention, air permeability is also very good, and lightweight, absolutely the first choice for mountaineers.
In one room, Yang Ming put on his clothes, looked at them, and was quite satisfied. I carried a bag of equipment, at least 20 pounds, opened it and looked at it, climbing gloves, ropes, folding shovels, machetes, daggers, kettles, flints, dry food, small medical kits, hammers, shovels, scissors, folding umbrellas, stun bombs and other things, as well as a satellite phone.
After a few people changed into mountaineering clothes and mountaineering shoes, and brought their equipment, Chai Jun led them to the backyard.
Yang Ming finally understood why Luo Congyun said that he would definitely be able to go to Sanyunling before night, because there was a helicopter parked in the backyard of Chai Jun's mountaintop villa.
Yang Ming said with a smile: "I said Boss Chai, you are bold enough, there is a helicopter parked in your backyard, not bad, really good." ”
Chai Jun said with a smile: "A civilian helicopter, tens of millions only, is nothing, this is very common in Europe." The pilot has already gone up, so if you're okay, let's get on the plane. ”
Yang Ming got on the helicopter a few times, and after sitting firmly, Chai Jun below signaled to the pilot that he could take off, and the plane soon sounded the roaring engine, and the rotors began to rotate, and after the speed reached a certain level, the plane climbed up and flew into the air.
In the cabin of the plane, except for Yang Ming, the rest were all nervous, Luo Congyun and Luo Ziling had sat once, but it was only once, Zhao Wenlong and Chu Ling, for the first time in their lives, took a helicopter.
Luo Ziling found that Yang Ming was like no one, his eyes were only looking left and right, and he had no fear at all, so he couldn't help but tease him: "Bad embryo, are you scared stupid, if you are afraid, just shout out, no one here will laugh at you." ”
Yang Ming said with a smile: "Little wife, don't you always want to seize an opportunity to hurt me, don't you just helicopter, I have been on it more than once or twice, when I was a child, I always ran to my grandfather's place, pestering me to take a plane." Now that the people are older, I think the helicopter is really good, and when I return to Jiangnan City in a few days, I will buy one as soon as possible. ”
"Hmph, nouveau riche!"
Sanyun Ridge, the altitude is not high, only more than 2,300 meters above sea level, it is named Sanyun Ridge, not because it is high, but the mountain is quite steep, and many places are broken cliffs.
The helicopter carrying Yang Ming and several people, swept over the city of Gyeongbuk, all the way straight to Sanyunling, more than an hour, the speed slowed down, and landed on a flat river bank less than a kilometer away from Sanyunling.
When the plane came to a standstill, Luo Congyun led the team to get off the plane, and then the helicopter left.
Yang Ming and his entourage stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the Sanyun Ridge, although it was only 2,300 meters above sea level, the mountain wall looked majestic, the green pines and cypresses on the mountain, and a turbulent river behind it, flowing along the foot of the mountain, isolating the Sanyun Ridge.
Luo Congyun said: "Now that everyone has arrived at Sanyun Mountain, the next sixteen hours is our time to search for medicinal materials, and after sixteen hours, we will go down the mountain, and I will judge the value of the medicinal materials you have collected, and the one with the highest value wins." Now, let's head out into the mountains. ”
The group walked towards Shenyunling, the road immediately became difficult, there was no road in Shenyunling, as soon as you went up the mountain, it was a fifty-degree slope, it was very difficult to walk, Yang Ming said: "Grandpa Luo, you are old, is this kind of mountain okay?" ”
Luo Congyun said with a smile: "Xiao Yang, since I took the medicine you gave, let alone my legs and feet, my whole person is like forty years younger, and my legs and feet are neat, don't worry." ”
Yang Ming said: "That's good. One thing I'm curious about, we can come by helicopter, if ordinary people want to come to Sanyunling, how do they have to go? ”
"Ordinary people come, if you start from Gyeongbuk City, you have to take a half-day car, walk about 100 kilometers of mountain roads, and then the road is over, get off the car and walk for two days on the mountain road, you can get to Sanyunling. At the foot of the mountain, the big river separates the Sanyun Ridge along the foot of the mountain, and if you want to come here, you have to walk two kilometers upstream along the bank from the place where we just landed, and there is a single-plank bridge. ”
After climbing more than 100 meters high, the road became more and more difficult to walk, from a 50-degree slope to a nearly 60-degree slope, and the vegetation was more luxuriant, which was very difficult to walk.
Luo Congyun said: "It's okay here, if you go up again, it's really difficult to go, not only difficult to walk, but also very, very dangerous, if you are not afraid, follow it, if you plan to give up, hurry back to the riverbank, and wait for us to meet tomorrow when we go down the mountain." ”
Yang Ming has no one to talk to, they are all here, where will they give up easily.
Several people lined up in a row, each person was about two meters apart, and on the way up the mountain, they were also paying attention to observing whether there were precious medicinal materials under their feet, Luo Ziling was the first to make a discovery, stopped, brushed aside some weeds at his feet, revealed a plant, and immediately smiled, and said: "Everyone, come and see." ”
Yang Ming and a few other people walked over, looked at the plants on the ground, and said with a smile: "Little wife, you are lucky, you just ran into the old mountain ginseng when you went up the mountain." ”
Luo Ziling was very proud, as soon as she went up the mountain, she met the old ginseng, which was definitely a good sign, "Hmph, this is not luck, it is strength." Looking at this old ginseng, I guess it is at least more than 100 years old. ”
Luo Congyun said: "Ziling, it's luck to meet it, don't be stunned, hurry up and dig out the ginseng." ”
"Okay, I'll dig it." Luo Ziling took out a red rope from the backpack and tied it to the ginseng poplar, this is the habit of digging ginseng, many people say that ginseng is spiritual, and if you don't find a red rope to tie it after finding it, it will run away.
Tie the red rope, Luo Ziling took out a small shovel, and began to dig carefully along the edge of the ginseng, trying not to break any of the roots of the ginseng.
After Luo Ziling dug for a few minutes, the ginseng below revealed a ginseng body that was almost two fingers thick, and Yang Ming said: "Little wife, you really didn't guess wrong, just look at the size and color of this ginseng, it is definitely an old ginseng that is more than a hundred years old, you are really lucky." ”
"Don't look at who I am." With a smug sentence, Luo Ziling said: "What about digging ginseng, don't bother me, if you are distracted, you will pay for it?" ”
On the side, Zhao Wenlong looked at it with red eyes, the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng is already a very, very valuable Chinese herbal medicine, and there are really not many that can be better than it, hell, how did Luo Ziling find such a good medicinal material as soon as he went up the mountain.
Zhao Wenlong watched Luo Ziling digging ginseng slowly, envious and unhappy, can't you hurry up? "Old Luo, I'm afraid it will take a while for the ginseng to be dug up, otherwise, I'll go up first."
Luo Congyun didn't stop him, "Okay, you go up the mountain first, but don't go too fast, the more you go up, the more dangerous it is." ”
Zhao Wenlong went up, Chu Ling was not idle, and immediately climbed up the mountain, and now they have lost a lot to Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling is digging ginseng more and more slowly, because the roots of ginseng in the second half are too many and too thin, and they will break if they are not careful.
Yang Ming squatted beside Luo Ziling and said, "Little wife, at your speed, I don't know if you can dig it out when it's dark, otherwise, I'll help you?" ”
Although Luo Ziling's medical skills are okay, his ability to dig ginseng is really not good, and he is not hypocritical when he hears Yang Ming's words, but he is worried that he will not be as good as himself, "You really know how to dig ginseng?" ”
"It's not a small look at people, it's just a piece of cake to dig deep, come, give me a shovel."
Yang Ming took the shovel from Luo Ziling's hand, held the shovel vertically, and began to dig ginseng quickly and accurately.
Luo Ziling and Luo Congyun on the side were immediately stunned, good guy, where is Yang Ming digging ginseng, he is obviously a master of digging ginseng, his speed is so fast that he can only see the afterimage, and in a blink of an eye, the ginseng flew to the side under the soil, and the ginseng gradually revealed itself, but at such a fast speed, not a single root was broken.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Ming dug to the bottom, the ginseng had a thick rhizome and had not yet dug out the mud, and the rest was exposed to the air, looking at the complete ginseng, Luo Ziling was very happy in his heart, urging: "Quick, quickly dig out the last rhizome and take out the ginseng." ”
"What's the hurry, I'll come now." Yang Ming held the ginseng body and gently broke it, and the ginseng came out of the soil, but the thick rhizome was broken.
Luo Ziling took the ginseng from Yang Ming's hand, looked at it carefully, looked at the ginseng's injury and felt very distressed, and reprimanded Yang Ming: "You, what have you done, is there such a thing as you?" So the thin roots are continuous, and even broke one of the taproots, are you hearty? You, you, you, you, you're mad at me. You compensate, you compensate me for ginseng, you compensate me for a whole ginseng! ”
Yang Ming said with a smile: "Little wife, at first glance, you are a layman who digs ginseng, and you don't understand the rules inside." ”
Luo Ziling said: "What kind of rules, who said I don't understand, isn't it just to find ginseng, find a red rope to buckle, and then dig ginseng to be very careful, because if you dig up the root, the value will be low, just like now, you actually broke such a thick root, you pay, you pay!" ”
Yang Ming said: "Who is participating in the meeting and running, it is all fake, you really take your hearsay seriously, and you really brought the red rope here." Yang Ming said as he spoke, looking at Luo Ziling's eyes getting more and more wrong, his anger became heavier and heavier, he spread his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't hurt you." To be honest, there are a lot of rules for digging ginseng. Most of the knowledgeable herb pickers know the rules inside, first of all, small ginseng can not be picked, and mountain ginseng less than ten years can not be picked, such ginseng is not worth much, and it will cut off the financial road of future generations, and it is a lack of virtue to do it. Second, you can't take the seeds with you when you pick ginseng, if you have seeds on the ginseng, you must plant them. Third, when digging up good ginseng, the roots must be broken, in order to let the broken roots grow young shoots, and after many years, it will be an old ginseng. There are other rules, and there is no need to tell you, now you understand? ”
Luo Ziling wanted to scold Yang Ming, but listening to his words, he felt that it was quite reasonable, not like he was lying to lie to himself, and turned his gaze to his grandfather who was squatting aside to rest, "What Yang Ming said is true?" ”
Luo Congyun touched his beard and smiled, and said: "What he said is right, it's true, I'll tell you one more rule, that is, after digging up the ginseng and leaving the broken roots, you must restore the soil." ”
"Well, I'll level the ground." Luo Ziling just wanted to do it, then he remembered that the ginseng was still in his hand, took out a white cloth from the bag, put the ginseng on it, wrapped it carefully, tied it with a rope, put it in the backpack, took the shovel from Yang Ming's hand, and restored the soil.
