The Changbai Mountains, named after the white pumice stones and snow cover of its main peak, Changbai Mountain, are the boundary mountains of the Chinese Dynasty and the Chinese Dynasty, and are known as the "first mountain in the Kanto". Historically, Changbai Mountain has always been a place for the people of Kanto to live and work, and it is also an auspicious place for the Manchus, and it has the reputation of "holy land" in the Qing Dynasty. Changbai Mountain is famous for its tourist attractions, Manchu auspicious land, and sacred mountain of the Chinese nation.

Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano that forms a wonderful landscape unlike other mountain ranges due to its unique geological formation. The main peak is 2691 meters above sea level, and there are 16 peaks above 25oo meters above sea level, Tianchi is the most famous landscape of Changbai Mountain. Changbai Mountain is the main production area of ginseng, mink and deer antler velvet in Northeast China, and there are many rare biological resources on the mountain, such as beauty pine, mountain grapes, wild mushrooms, Jindalai, immortal grass, Siberian tiger, red-crowned crane, etc.

Because the Changbai Mountains have fewer and fewer high-quality wild ginseng in China, as long as the weather permits, the herb pickers living nearby will burrow into these deep mountains and old forests, in order to dig up the scarcer wild ginseng but the price is rising all the way. If anyone is lucky enough to dig up wild ginseng that is more than 100 years old, then this herb picker will be able to sit at home and enjoy happiness for the rest of his life.

The medicine pickers living around the Changbai Mountains have this kind of luxury in their hearts, but they also understand one thing, that is, going into the mountains to collect medicine is a high-income and high-risk thing. Over the years, for a windfall, countless medicine pickers have gone into the rare deep mountains and old forests to touch the luck of one in ten thousand, and many people have never returned. Over time, the people in the vicinity knew that this kind of windfall from heaven was not available to everyone.

Han Ankang, a rural doctor in a small border town in the southeast of Ji Province, carried the only relic left to him by his deceased grandfather early in the morning, a medicine basket used by an old generation of medicine pickers. I plan to take advantage of the sunny weather to go to the nearby mountains to dig up some Chinese medicinal herbs to alleviate the dwindling Chinese medicinal herbs in the village infirmary.

As a top student who graduated from Ji Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Han Ankang could have looked for a relatively high-paying job outside. It's just that when I think of the last wish left by my grandfather when he passed away, and the fact that he can finish this university, a lot of the villagers have pooled money to pay for it.

So much so that after graduation, he declined the invitation of many well-known traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in the province, and resolutely returned to this remote village to become a well-known and young village doctor. Although the infirmary he opened also deals in Western medicine, Han Ankang, who was taught and raised by his grandfather in Tuyangzhong, also learned his grandfather's traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture.

Even if Han Ankang's grandfather passed away that year, the villagers resolutely decided to pool money for him to finish college, and a large part of the process was to inherit his grandfather's past favors. Han Ankang, who has been grateful since he was a child, refused the invitation of the big hospital outside, returned to the village to take over his grandfather's work, and prescribed medicine and treatment for the simple people of these ten miles and eight towns.

Working as a doctor in such a poor mountain village is undoubtedly the greatest hope of the villagers in their pursuit of treatment. Therefore, Han Ankang will follow the Chinese medicine prescriptions he learned in school according to the ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions taught by his grandfather. Using the abundant wild Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains behind the village, he solved the pain of these villagers.

Because Chinese medicinal materials are all excavated and chopped up the mountain to dry, Han Ankang charges a maximum cost when charging. For a time, the villagers were also full of infinite respect for this young village doctor. I feel that they did not waste their good deeds of achieving this child's education back then.

In these years, if you want to talk about what the poor people are most afraid of, the fear of illness must be the first place. Now that Han Ankang, a warm-hearted and sincere little doctor, is treating their diseases and eliminating disasters, it undoubtedly proves that their donation to education back then was a very proud investment.

Every time the villagers saw Han Ankang going into the mountains to collect medicine, they would tell him to be careful in everything. Although the villagers knew that Han Ankang was a sensible young man, no one could have predicted what accidents he would encounter when he entered the mountains. Fortunately, the villagers all know that Han Ankang learned to go into the mountains to collect medicine when he was a child with his grandfather. As long as you don't go to those rare old forests, with Han Ankang's experience in collecting medicine over the years, I believe there will be no big problems.

But I have to say that every time the villagers see Han Ankang going into the mountains to collect medicine, if he doesn't return in the evening, many old and young masters in the village will worry about him. First, I was worried that Han Ankang would be in any danger in the mountains, and secondly, I was also worried about losing this caring village doctor, and it would not be convenient for them to treat a headache and brain fever in the future.

Han Ankang naturally knew the concern of the people in the village, but he also knew very well how high the risk of entering the old forest to collect medicine was. And when his grandfather was alive, he also warned him that the elixir could be collected without going into the old forest. If you don't have the chance, you will climb to the top of the mountain, and you will get nothing. And the elixir in his mouth is undoubtedly a rare elixir like a century-old ginseng.

Carrying the medicine basket on his back, he carefully put the Chinese medicinal materials that could be used for medicine along the way into the medicine basket and put them away, and Han Ankang's footsteps gradually moved towards the hinterland of the mountains. Just as he was concentrating on digging for medicinal herbs in the mountains, a bird call that he hadn't heard for a long time caught his attention.

When I looked up at the place where the call came, it was indeed the bird that the medicine pickers in the mountains most expected to encounter. Why is it said that it is the bird that the herb picker most expects to encounter?

The ginseng bird, also known as the mallet bird in the local dialect, is said to follow this small bird that feeds on ginseng seeds. You can see the unknown ginseng, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to dig up high-quality wild ginseng of high vintage.

I never thought that I would have this lucky Han Ankang one day, although I never thought of picking that kind of century-old ginseng wealth. As a person who is good at traditional Chinese medicine, if he can dig up some ginseng, it will also have a lot of promoting and improving effects on the treatment of some stubborn diseases that are relatively difficult to treat in the villagers.

The reason why ginseng is very rare and precious is mainly related to its medicinal value. In the very early medical book "Shennong's Materia Medica", it is believed that ginseng has the effect of "replenishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, fixing the soul, stopping palpitations, removing evil spirits, brightening the eyes and happiness", and "prolonging life after a long time".

For thousands of years, ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine has been listed as a "top-grade" medicinal material, and as Chinese people pay more and more attention to health, the value of this high-quality wild ginseng is even more bullish. Even if the Changbai Mountains are the largest wild ginseng growing area in China, with the crazy excavation of batches of herb pickers, it is difficult to find wild ginseng now, and even more expensive wild ginseng cannot be bought.

Thinking of these, Han Ankang also had no intention of continuing to collect medicines, and stared closely at the mallet birds that kept jumping and flying low on the trees, hoping to follow this kind of ginseng bird that could refer to the medicine picker, dig up ginseng, and dig up a ginseng with better quality. In this way, the stubborn diseases that are common to several elderly people in the village can also be improved to the greatest extent.

With this thought in mind, Han Ankang cautiously followed the mallet for nearly an hour on the mountain road before coming to the edge of a dangerous peak. Just when Han Ankang sighed that this kind of stone mountain, which doesn't even grow trees, shouldn't grow shade-loving ginseng. Soon he saw that the slow-flying mallet bird had suddenly flown to a leeward part of the mountain, where it stopped and chirped.

Could it be that there is ginseng growing there?

With this doubt, Han Ankang cautiously climbed the steep rock wall and came to the leeward place where the mallet bird landed. When he saw that there was a platform of about one square in the leeward place, and several plants growing on the platform were the ginseng that he had not been able to find in the mountains for a long time, the surprise in his heart could be imagined.

It's just that what makes him a little embarrassed is that the platform where ginseng grows is in a semi-suspended state, and it is extremely risky to climb over from where he stands, and the consequences once he steps on the air are unimaginable. After all, there is a cliff twenty or thirty meters high under the platform, and there are also strange rocks under the cliff, and the probability of surviving if you fall on it is extremely low.

can miss the few superb wild ginsengs in front of him that seem to be at least dozens or hundreds of years old, Han Ankang is afraid that he will not be reconciled. Thinking of the old people in the village, who had been tortured by illness all year round, the kind-hearted Han Ankang gritted his teeth and began to climb. When he finally approached the platform and could touch those ginseng plants, Han Ankang felt that his luck was indeed too good today.

Because of the hanging medicine, Han Ankang had to hold the stone that bears the weight of his body with one free hand, and carefully excavated a few ginseng plants with one hand. As the appearance of ginseng appeared in front of him, Han Ankang knew that he had made a lot of money today. There are five ginseng plants in this litter, and the largest of them is ginseng-like, at least more than 100 years old.

The years of the rest of the plants are probably also in their fifties and sixties. Such high-quality wild ginseng can be sold on the market for at least a few million. Of course, for Han Ankang, who is engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, he will not sell such a good thing, but treat it as the treasure of the infirmary.

With these superb wild ginseng medicines, he can solve the old problems of many villagers in ten miles and eight towns. You know, such a good wild ginseng is also difficult to buy when you put it outside. Besides, he is single now, staying in the village infirmary all day to treat the villagers, what is the use of asking for so much money?

Just when Han Ankang was happy to be able to solve the stubborn illness of those old people, the mountain stone that he had been holding suddenly separated from the rock wall, without waiting for Han Ankang to react. He felt the whole person fly, and after feeling a fierce stinging pain, he didn't know anything in front of him.

With Han Ankang, who fell from a height, when he was covered in blood on the top of the strange rock that fell to the ground, the blood-colored jade Buddha hanging on his chest that could prove his life experience suddenly began to shine with an unknown red light. Until the Jade Buddha completely disappeared and turned into red light and was sucked into Han Ankang's body, which almost stopped beating, Han Ankang's body, who was still dying just now, suddenly beat violently.

The wound caused by the stone when he fell quickly healed, until Han Ankang could no longer see a wound bleeding on his body, the red light produced by the disappearance of the Jade Buddha also completely dissipated, and the Jade Buddha also disappeared from the red rope. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one at the bottom of the cliff at this time, maybe the weird scene just now would have made people think that there was some supernatural event!
