Chapter 180: Into the Mountains to Pick Ginseng

"Can he be missing? As long as he can leave Cheng Tong in a bright light and let him dig coal, he will not refuse. In the past half a year, he has been grinding Ying Feihong, but he just hates not to join the medicine collection team, and it is good to be exposed to the wind and sun on the mountain every day. If you don't know the whole process, you can be regarded as a person, and you know that if you are oppressed hard, you will definitely let that guy go out and break the net, so he is always relaxed, poor Zhong Chunfeng didn't see through this net, and he still thought that he could have a chance to get out, otherwise, with his temperament, how could he be so desperate? ”

Xiao Jiangbei listened to his wife's words, thought about the situation of the two getting along, couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said: "What you said is too exaggerated, where can you use the words 'lingering and breathing'?" There is something strange between the two of them, Zhong Chunfeng is not a child, and he is smart and tight, so we don't care about their affairs, let them toss it. ”

Gu Qiluo nodded and said, "I said the same thing." Then this matter is decided, we will set off in three days, take Xiong Da Xiong Er, maybe two good helpers. ”

"It's better to take them with you than a few hounds, or do you expect them to chase or drive away the prey? Can't move three fingers away with that step? ”

Gu Qiluo waved his fist at Xiao Jiangbei, but he didn't say anything, and left with Xiong Da Xiong Er with a cold snort.

So three days later, a team of more than 60 people entered Changbai Mountain, each of whom carried a large wicker basket, in addition, there were more than a dozen horses with a large number of supplies, three hunting dogs brought by experienced guides, and the most peculiar thing was that there were two cute bears.

It is the best time of autumn to see white clouds of different shapes floating in the clear blue sky. It looks so relaxed. Most of the trees in the mountains have turned yellow, but some are as verdant as ever, and there are even red maple leaves dotted among them. Looking at the past, it is really layered and colorful.

"What a picture of autumn scenery, I have always only looked at what is said in the poems and songs, but now I am immersive, I know how beautiful these four words are, beautiful, really beautiful." Zhong Chunfeng looked into the distance and sighed. Suddenly, Xinghua next to him smiled and said, "In this case, why doesn't Brother Zhong write a poem?" Praise the beautiful scenery of Changbai Mountain in autumn? ”

Zhong Chunfeng smiled: "What you said to my heart, wait for me to think about it......"

Don't wait to finish. I heard Gu Qiluo smile and said: "How many poems do you have, and put them in your stomach first, and then write them into the book after you go back, I don't have time to think about it for you at this time." We're going into the mountains. ”

The voice did not fall. Sure enough, I heard the guide in front urging everyone to check the materials they carried, and told them precautions, especially forbidden to run away from the team, this is a primeval forest, although the autumn is cold, snakes and insects have been dormant, but all kinds of fierce beasts are numerous, once out of the team. Mo said that encountering a beast must be a fate of hitting the street, that is, getting lost. That's enough to kill you.

Even Zhong Chunfeng, a heartless guy, was extremely serious at this time, checked the dry food sticks and miscellaneous things he carried, and after confirming that there was no omission, he followed behind Ying Feihong, and suddenly saw two people from the team walking over with a bunch of red threads in front of him, and everyone sent a few red lines, Zhong Chunfeng looked strange, so he asked Ying Feihong what was going on? But I heard a loud voice from the ginseng picking team in front of me shouting: "You have all known the appearance of ginseng before, not that I boasted, this wild ginseng of Changbai Mountain is the best among ginseng, in the early hundreds of years, it was not allowed to be sold among the people at all, and it could only be paid tribute to ......the palace.

Listening to this loud voice and saying a lot of words praising virtue, Zhong Chunfeng couldn't help but be a little impatient, and muttered, "Who wants to listen to him say this here?" I can say this kind of thing for three days and three nights without repeating it. After speaking, he heard Ying Feihong whisper: "You stop and listen carefully." ”

Sure enough, after the man praised the emperor's wisdom, he showed everyone the documents of their entry into the mountain to collect ginseng, so as to prove that they were a serious ginseng picking team, so that everyone should not have any worries, this time even Gu Qiluo rolled his eyes when he heard it, thinking that this is not nonsense? Our Xiao Gu Villa's team can still be illegal and stealing the team?

Seeing that everyone was a little commotioned, the big man laughed, no longer said this, but turned the topic to the red rope that everyone was very interested in, and said loudly: "Don't underestimate this red rope, you must know that we go into the mountains to collect ginseng, but we all have to rely on it." Ordinary ginseng is just that, but if you see ginseng with many flowers and fruits, then it is all old, and the older generation has a saying that there is a head for a hundred years, so when you meet such ginseng, you have to tie it with a red rope to dig it slowly, otherwise it will run away. ”

"And that kind of statement?"

Zhong Chunfeng had never heard this, and couldn't help but be interested, and was about to ask carefully, when he heard Ying Feihong next to him smile and said: "I have heard this saying before, saying that ginseng has an aura when it is more than a year, if it is not quietly tied with a red rope, as soon as you move the ground, it will run away." ”

"Then what's the matter with the copper coin still tied to the tail of this red rope?" Zhong Chunfeng pointed to the copper coin and asked, Ying Feihong couldn't answer, but the man smiled before hearing it: "The copper coin has passed through the hands of 10,000 people, and it has been stained with an unknown amount of filth, and it can fix the psychic ginseng." ”

"Understood." Zhong Chunfeng nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This copper coin has the same function as black dog blood, right?" ”

"This son's analogy is really appropriate." The man also smiled, and seeing that Zhong Chunfeng was interested in this topic, he said loudly again: "If the son meets a child in red clothes in the mountains, you must not talk too much, tie him with a red rope and then slowly trap him, it is best to let him take you to his house, and leave us a code along the way." ”

"What does that mean?" Zhong Chunfeng became even more interested, and said continuously: "Is the child in red a ginseng essence?" So it should also be tied with a red rope, his house is a ginseng nest, can you go to the end of the nest? ”

"Oops, Childe is so smart." The man smiled heartily, and suddenly heard an angry voice behind him: "Don't talk nonsense, what ginseng dolls, it's all nonsense." If you really cultivate into a human form, that ginseng essence may be able to fly away, where can you tie him with a copper coin and red rope? Furthermore, even if there is such a thing, you are not allowed to do it, people are kind to you and trust you, so they bring you to your home as a guest, and as a result, you in turn put people in the nest, isn't this a sin? ”

The man looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Gu Qiluo, and he didn't dare to distinguish when the big proprietor spoke, so he had to smile and say: "What Madam said is that we just haunt this place a lot, so we haven't heard a lot of stories about ginseng essence, in fact, for so many years, not to mention ginseng dolls, it's a multi-headed ginseng, and I haven't seen a few. Three years ago, someone in our village went into the mountains to dig up a 500-year-old ginseng tree, and in the end it was bought by a big merchant for 800 taels of silver. ”

Five hundred years of ginseng was sold for eight hundred taels? Pretty lucky? Ying Feihong couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and sighed: "You all let the merchant be deceived, if it is in the capital pharmacy, the five-hundred-year-old Changbai wild ginseng is worth at least three thousand taels of silver, if it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, it is really a priceless treasure, even if it is in the palace, I am afraid there are not a few trees." I heard that the Lin family in the capital spent countless silver money to get a thousand-year-old ginseng in order to treat their old man's illness, so it was really a blessing to invite heaven. ”

Ying Feihong's words only made the man's eyes shine, but this scene made him secretly vigilant, because he said in a deep voice: "Huang Wu, you are now a person from Xiao Gu Yaozhuang, and in the future, you will dig out a thousand years of ginseng, and you must confiscate it in full, even if there is a rich reward, it is absolutely impossible to have as much as a thousand silver, you have to think about it, if you are greedy for such a financial way, say hello early, it is better to do it alone." ”

Huang Wuyi was stunned, and then said in a panic: "Don't say that, the shopkeeper, I just listened to you talk about it, so I was envious in my heart." In fact, I don't know how much fate it takes to dig up such an old ginseng, at least I have been in the mountain for so many years, not to mention the thousand-year-old ginseng, and even the hundred-year-old ginseng has not been dug up. In the past, we relied on the sky to eat, and after coping with the government, it would be good if the rest could starve to death, where did we dare to ask for food and clothing? Now we are workers in the medicine village, the monthly money is two taels of silver, digging ginseng is also extraordinarily rich, this year round do not have to worry about livelihood, this is a good thing to fall from the sky, do well, the family has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and even future generations can help a little. How could I give up this golden strip for the ethereal so-called windfall, not to mention that even if I get that windfall, I will be punished by God if I can't keep it, and I may not be able to live a smooth life, the one I just said dug up the five hundred years of ginseng, and suddenly got eight hundred taels of silver, and was happy to get addicted to gambling in a few days, and went to the city to see the green building, less than a year of work, the eight hundred taels of silver were defeated cleanly, not to mention, and owed dozens of taels of silver to other gambling houses, and finally his wife and children were pulled to sell, and he himself was broken leg, alas! Not to mention how miserable it is. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and after a long time, Gu Qiluo shook his head and said, "This is a windfall, it is like a disaster." From this point of view, getting rich overnight is actually not a good thing, how many people because of a chance, suddenly have a lot of money, they abandon their wives and children, and since then they have been drunk and drunk, and finally ended up miserable and lonely. ”

Everyone who said this nodded frequently, and even thought in their hearts what would happen if they were themselves, but the result was shocked, and because of Gu Qiluo's words, everyone made up their minds in their hearts, and secretly said that others don't know what to do, but if they have the opportunity to suddenly become rich, they must not do this kind of thing and end up desolate. (To be continued......)
