Chapter 949: Rainbow Grass
PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.
"What's that?"
At this time, hearing Duan Lao's words, Wang Guan was somewhat curious.
"Good stuff."
At this time, Yan Lao smiled and hurriedly signaled: "Come here, look there......"
While talking, Yan Lao led everyone to the nearby mountain wall. It is a tall mountain wall, with a very steep shape, as if the top of the mountain was slashed diagonally, and finally formed this shape.
Of course, the mountain wall is steep, but there are many plants growing on it, and it is very lush.
"Look, it's ...... in the middle," at the right time, Yan Lao said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to it before, but just now when the wind blew, a branch and leaf rolled over, and I found out." ”
Wang Guan squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but because there were too many plants, he didn't know what Yan Lao was talking about. However, it is very certain that it should be a relatively precious plant, and it is definitely not an ordinary weed.
"Where?"
Duan Lao didn't see it, and frowned slightly: "It's really old mountain ginseng, don't be mistaken." ”
"How could you be wrong." Boss Yan said with a face: "You don't know my eyesight, mosquitoes can see clearly from a hundred meters away, not to mention a clump of mountain ginseng leaves." ”
Wang Guan also noticed that it may be the reason why he often paints in the mountains, Yan Lao's eyes are very bright, and he dare not say that he is as dark as a child, but he does have very little dull yellow and turbid color, and he is sure that he is brighter than young people.
"That's just as well."
Obviously, Duan Lao also believed in Yan Lao's eyesight, and after nodding, he was also eager to try: "Wild ginseng, this is a rare good thing...... It's just not easy to dig. ”
"Somebody climbed up."
At the same time, Yan Lao smiled and said, "When I called you just now, I brought a rope by the way. And he told the two young men of the village to go around the top of another mountain, and then slowly put the rope down. This should be easier to dig. ”
As he spoke, two heads poked out from the cliff, and then he smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.
"Be careful."
Duan Lao hurriedly reminded loudly.
"Don't worry, they have followed their fathers to collect medicine since they were children, and they are also veterans with seven or eight years of experience." Yan Lao explained: "I just knew that they were the most reliable, so I asked them to help." ”
It turned out that Yan Lao was right, I saw that after the two people on the cliff put down the rope, one person took care of it, and the other climbed down gently. Looking at his easy appearance, you know that he is very experienced.
Wang Guan and the others were a little shocked to see it below. But there was no danger, and it was only ten minutes before they came to the place that Yan Lao said, and then took out a small medicine hoe and dug carefully.
After a few hoes, the man turned around and shouted in surprise. It was a dialect again, Wang Guan didn't understand, but Yan Lao smiled happily and said as if showing off: "Look, I'm not wrong." It must be mountain ginseng. ”
"I know you're amazing." Duan Lao said sincerely: "Don't be a painter at all, just change your career to be a medicine farmer." Dig up one wild ginseng a year, and you won't have to worry about money in the next life. ”
"Nonsense." Yan Lao shook his head and said, "I have been painting here for a few years, but today I just stumbled upon a mountain ginseng. It's also luck, how can it be found every year. ”
"It's also ......," Duan Lao nodded slightly.
At this time, the man on the mountain wall also dug out the mountain ginseng, and at the same time waved his hand to the people below. Then grin and put the mountain ginseng into the medicine basket, and then slowly climb up.
Seeing that the man had safely climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone was completely relieved.
After Elder Duan shouted for the two of them to return the way they came. Only then did he look back and smile: "Wait." By the way, are you done drawing? I won't patronize to find wild ginseng, so I didn't write at all. ”
"It's been a bit of a delay." Yan Lao didn't shy away from saying it, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just got up, and suddenly I saw the mountain ginseng, and then I was inspired." ”
"Look at ......"
Under the greeting of Duan Lao, Wang Guan also walked over. Next to the waterhole, there happens to be a relatively flat big stone, as long as you put a drawing board on the stone and spread a layer of rice paper, you can splash ink at will.
At this time, Wang Guan took a closer look and saw that there was definitely an incomplete picture on the paper. It is a landscape map, with towering mountain peaks and gurgling water, which has a bit of artistic conception. Unfortunately, the drawings are really only half-finished. Or even semi-finished products can't be said, because the peaks and streams are simply outlined, and they have not yet been completely formed.
However, with just a few strokes, the artistic conception of green mountains and green waters is vividly expressed, so that Wang Guan can feel the strength of Yan Lao's painting, and he is indeed a buried great painter.
However, this burial is not because everyone has no eyes, but because Mrs. Yan is low-key and does not take the initiative to publicize it at all. In the era when good wine was afraid of deep alleys, it was natural that it would not be known. No wonder Qian Lao commented that Yan Lao is a real hermit, a hermit who can hide in the wilderness and even more in the city.
"Can you still complete it?" Duan Lao admired it for a moment, and he also liked it a little: "The painting is so good, if you can make it up, try to make it up, don't waste it." ”
"I don't feel it anymore." Yan Lao smiled: "Let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
For painters, it is more advocating slow work and meticulous work. Whether it is a Chinese painter or a Western oil painter, when painting, it is generally ground out bit by bit with the work of water grinding. A quick painting is not necessarily bad, but a good painting must not be in a hurry, and it needs to be painted with heart, which is the result of painstaking brewing.
"Don't delay too long, the Jumbo Show is about to take place, don't miss it." Duan Lao kindly reminded him.
"Don't be afraid." Yan Laoli smiled: "If it was before, I would have been afraid of delay, but now that he is here, I will be relieved." ”
"What do you mean?" Duan Lao was a little puzzled.
At the same time, Wang Guan was thoughtful. It seems that the relationship between Yan Lao and Qian Lao must be closer than he imagined, otherwise, he would not know that the treasures on display are related to him.
"It's not interesting."
At this time, Yan Lao smiled: "Anyway, I won't miss it, even if I miss it, it doesn't matter, just go back and make up for it." ”
"Make it up?" Duan Lao shook his head and said, "I can indeed make up for it, but I don't know when it happened." If you have the patience, just wait slowly. ”
Yan Lao smiled. didn't pick up the topic, but turned his head to look at Wang Guan: "When did you arrive in Lu Province?" ”
"This morning." Wang Guan hurriedly replied truthfully: "At noon, Qian Lao called me and asked me to visit Yan Lao. It happened that you weren't in the store, so I came with Mr. Duan. ”
"Young people have a good experience."
At this time, Duan Lao explained: "After receiving your call, I knew that you were free now, so I simply brought him here......"
In the midst of the small talk of the three of them, the two people who collected the medicine also returned briskly.
"Liang Zai."
At the right time, Duan Lao was also a little pleased. Hurriedly beckoned: "Where is the mountain ginseng, take it and take a look." ”
Between talking, the two people who collected the medicine did not slack off, handed over the small medicine basket with a smile, and said two words at the same time, as if they were showing their merits.
"Got it, I'll take you to the city for a big dinner." Duan Lao promised, and then took out the mountain ginseng in the basket.
Wang Guan also took a closer look, and saw that the mountain ginseng was still carrying fresh soil. It's a little weird. It is not like a radish in the shape of an adult in his imagination, but resembles a mountain vine rhizome.
"This is ginseng?" Wang Guan felt a little surprised.
"It's wild ginseng."
Seeing Wang Guan's doubts, Duan Lao said with a smile: "Don't compare the appearance of cultivated ginseng with wild ginseng, you must know that mountain ginseng grows in barren mountains and wild mountains." Without the interference of artificial control, the appearance must have grown in a variety of shapes, and there is no pattern to speak of. If they all look like turnips. Instead, it's not wild ginseng. ”
"Oh."
Wang Guan nodded suddenly, and then saw that the mountain ginseng was only half the size of a thumb, and there were some other silk whiskers. It looks small. However, considering the high price of wild ginseng, the price of this thing must be more than 100,000.
"Lao Yan, your luck is so good." After weighing the mountain ginseng, Duan Lao praised: "After harvesting this thing, you haven't wandered around here in vain in the past few years." ”
"Fortunately, it's just a sub-car, what's there to be proud of." Yan Lao smiled, and he didn't have much joy, but sighed a little: "I didn't find what I wanted, and I didn't plan to send it to the door." ”
"Pretentious." Duan Lao snorted: "I really don't want it, why let Liang Zai dig it out." ”
"I wasn't going to ask for it." Yan Lao said casually: "Isn't the village planning to contract the barren mountains to grow wild vegetables, and sell the wild ginseng, this money should be enough." ”
"That's just as well."
Duan Lao thought about it, turned around and handed the wild ginseng to the young man who was collecting medicine, and asked him to do what Yan Lao wanted. The young man was obviously a little surprised, hesitated, and under the persuasion of Duan Lao, he happily put the mountain ginseng next and thanked him again and again.
Then, under the signal of Yan Lao, the young man happily took Yeshan Village back to the village, ready to share the happiness with everyone.
"Let's go too."
At this time, Duan Lao looked up at the sky, and then greeted: "If you don't go back, the sun will go down." It's not good to walk at night in the wilderness. ”
Everyone had no opinions, and helped Yan Lao pack up things like sketches and boxes, and then went in the direction of the mountain village. On the way, Wang Guan couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and whispered: "Old Duan, what did you just say that Old Yan was looking for?" Is it herbs? ”
"It's not medicine, it's grass."
Glancing at Yan Lao, Duan Lao shook his head and said, "A very rare grass, it is estimated that it has become extinct. But Lao Yan didn't give up, and ran to the mountains when he was free, hoping that a miracle would happen and he could make a discovery. ”
"What grass?" Wang Guan was a little surprised.
"Rainbow grass."
Finding that Yan Lao had no intention of stopping it, Duan Lao would not hide it, and said bluntly: "It is said that the grass juice of this grass is like a rainbow and can emit colorful light, so Lao Yan wants to find this grass and fuse it into ink to paint." It's very mysterious, I'm sure I don't believe it, so you can listen to it as a joke......" (To be continued......
