After lunch, Ji Nian went up the mountain under the leadership of Liu Guangli.

The mountain of Dameng Mountain is majestic, stretching for thousands of miles, just staying in the territory of Zhonghai City, it makes people feel breathtaking, relaxed and happy, according to Dameng Mountain, all counties of Zhonghai City have taken action, built several scenic spots, like the more famous is the Fairy Lake, Jiuqu Valley and the ladder to the sky.

It's just that these scenic spots have nothing to do with the stone village, to be exact, the peaks in Zihuai County are not suitable to be opened up as scenic spots, otherwise there are such good tourism resources, and they are all money, will Zihuai County turn a blind eye?

There is a legend about Dameng Mountain, which will be called Dameng, and if you trace back to the roots, you can even involve Zhuangzi. It is said that Zhuangzi also slept on this mountain range, dreamed, woke up and realized the avenue, and left this mountain majestic and magnificent, as a big dream.

That's why the mountains are called big dreams.

No one can verify these rumors, and there is certainly no need to get to the bottom of them. There are many streams and lakes in this mountain range, and there are many babbling streams and flocks of birds, and some people have seen wild leopards, dogs and bears here, and there are countless pheasants and hares.

"Stone Village is a village at the foot of the mountain, but it doesn't mean that there are no villages in the mountain, as far as I know, there are three of them in this area, namely Yiyi Village, Pengjiatun and Liujiagou. However, the traffic conditions in these three villages are very bad, and there are only dirt roads inside. Every time it rains, it becomes a piece of mud, not to mention driving, even if it is inconvenient to walk, it doesn't take a little effort to go down, but don't want to pull it out, it's very difficult to walk. Liu Guangli said as he walked.

"Didn't you say that there are roads in every village?" Ji Nian couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it's about the village road, but the road to the mountain can't be repaired. These three villages are not said to be on the same line, but are distributed in all corners of the mountainous area. There are more than 30 households in each village, and there are more in Liujiagou, but there are only about 40 households. ”

"You said that just to make it easier for them to travel, and then deliberately build three roads to pass, that is a bit expensive. Needless to say, they themselves feel embarrassed. Then there is the fact that the county has also done work, saying that as long as the three villages are willing to move out, the county is responsible for arranging housing for them. ”

"The merging of the three villages into one is also easy to manage. But the people of these three villages were very strong, and although they were very hard in the mountains, when they heard that the villages were going to be merged, no one agreed, and they all clamored to stay in the mountains. They said that their ancestors had lived in this village for generations, and they couldn't let the village disappear in their generation, so they would have no face to see their ancestors when they died. The old people in the village did not agree to the relocation, and what could the young people say, the matter was put on hold. ”

Liu Guangli casually plucked a bud from a roadside tree and chewed it in his mouth.

But it is precisely for this reason that there are some good things in these three villages. I used to exchange a bottle of medicinal wine soaked in old mountain ginseng from Liujiagou, as well as snake wine, which is very good for treating bruises and bone injuries. For example, if you want to find medicinal herbs, you must go to their village, and some of them may still have wild lingzhi hidden in their homes. By the way, Ji Nian, shall we go back to the village this afternoon? ”

"What, is there anything wrong with you?" Ji Nian turned his face and asked.

"It's okay, but if we go back to the village, we can't go too far, so let's just go to the terraces where I planted astragalus and take a look there. If we don't want to go back to the village, we'd better find a place to rest from the three villages we just mentioned. Don't you know, there are wild wolves in this mountain, and wolves are all packs, and it would be bad if they were targeted. According to the old generation, there are people who do not believe in evil and have to live in the mountains at night, and as a result, they are eaten and cannot find even the bones. ”

"Also, there are a lot of snakes in the mountains, and that thing is the most vindictive. If you encounter something that you can dodge, you can dodge, and if you can't dodge, you will be killed directly, and then leave quickly, it is best to find a creek to wash away the fishy smell on your body, otherwise the snakes can follow the smell to your home. Liu Guangli said these words, Ji Nian had never heard of them before, it was a bit like listening to the heavens, but he knew that Liu Guangli didn't need to fool him, these should be true.

"Okay, I made a note of that. Let's not go inside today, we don't have any preparations at hand. Just walk around the place where you often collect firewood, and take a look at your astragalus field by the way. Wait until we go back tonight, and tomorrow we'll go up the mountain and go deep into it to have a good look. ”

"Brother Liu, if you have something to do, get busy first, I'll go for a walk by myself, it's not easy to come here, I have to see enough." Besides, I guess it's very likely that those green dragon trees were picked up by those wild beasts from the mountains, or floated down the stream. It's best if we can find the source today, if not, you say you don't go inside, is it a loss? Su Mu said with a smile.

"Makes sense."

Liu Guangli nodded approvingly, "It's really possible for you to guess, maybe it's a heavy rain or a strong wind that came out of the mountains." Okay, I can find the best this afternoon, if I can't find it, let's choose a route to come out, I have acquaintances in those three villages, and relatives, say hello to them in advance, and stay for a few nights without any problem. However, the accommodation conditions in the mountains may not be very good, and they are not as good as in the city, so you don't dislike them. ”

"It's okay." Ji Nian smiled disapprovingly.

"That's good." Liu Guangli could feel that Ji Nian was not deliberately pretending, he really didn't care. In this way, Liu Guangli is also willing to go inside, after all, this route has been traveled many times, and he is very familiar with it, and he can still have the opportunity to make money under the premise of ensuring safety, who would refuse this kind of good thing?

Ji Nian is not saying that he has never been in the mountains, when he was a child and studied Chinese medicine with his grandfather, he had been to a lot of mountains. But this big dream mountain in front of him was the first time, walking on the winding sheep intestine path, feeling the fresh and natural breath released by the dense forests on both sides, his mood became invisibly happy.

Turning a corner along the hillside, a stream like a jade belt gurgled down the mountain, and the water was crystal clear.

"This creek eventually flows to the Qinghuai River, and there are unique stone crevice fish in our mountain under the cracks in the stones, and there are a lot of crabs and so on. Hey, speaking of which, don't you know, when I was a child, there were a lot of fish and crabs in the Qinghuai River. ”

"In the summer, when you jump into the water, you can fork up a big king eight when you go down with a fork. Alas, but not now, even if there are rare, there is no way, who will let more people be arrested. It's very difficult to eat some wild soft-shelled turtle these days. But don't worry, when you return to Zhonghai City, I will get you two wild soft-shelled turtles for you to take away. Even if you don't eat it, it's good to give it away. Liu Guangli patted his chest and reassured.

"Then thank you Brother Liu." Ji Nian didn't refuse.

The interaction between people does not mean that you always need to be careful, but you will be inferior. Accepting Liu Guangli's things by himself, in his opinion, is to look up to him and make him very dignified, which will deepen the relationship between them.

This point of human affection is sophisticated, Ji Nian still understands. Besides, the two wild old turtles are not worried about the way to go, such as his teacher Liu Chewu, such as Zhao Lao Zhao Jingluo in the pharmacy, neither of them is enough to send.

After walking along the mountain road for half an hour, Ji Nian came to the astragalus field planted by Liu Guangli. Standing on the hillside, all the astragalus was everywhere, which made his mood inexplicably a little relieved. Grandfather Ji Ping once told Ji Nian when he was living that his greatest hope is to see medicinal materials can be planted in a large area like food, if there are people from all over the motherland to grow medicinal materials, it means that the status of traditional Chinese medicine has been significantly improved, indicating that the declining Chinese medicine that has been gradually replaced by Western medicine has begun to rise again.

May the ancestral treasures be inherited, and may the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine be endless.

This is Ji Pingsheng's wish, and it is also the goal he has been striving for all his life. As the grandson of Ji Pingsheng, Ji Nian never dared to forget this. Therefore, seeing that astragalus has been planted in a large area, he is in a happy mood, although Liu Guangli's purpose is to make money, but at least it also shows that Chinese medicine has a market.

"Ji Nian, you see that these are all planted by me, and they look good, right?" Liu Guangliyang pointed to the medicine field and said.

"Yes, yes, in this way, when I go back, I will look for it, and I will sort out all the materials suitable for astragalus planting and send them to you." Ji Nian said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Liu Guangli rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"This should be the place where you collect firewood, shall we go around first?" Ji Nian asked.

"Yes, most of my family's firewood is collected from here. By the way, I thought about it carefully when I was on the way, and the firewood at home was picked up in the last month, and I was around here during this time, and I haven't been anywhere else, so the dragon's wood must be nearby. Liu Guangli swept around, looking at the branches that fell on the ground, his eyes were a little hot.

"Okay, let's get started, that's what I told you before, just find wood like that, and don't want the rest." After Ji Nian saw the heat in Liu Guangli's eyes, he knew that he couldn't wait, so he stopped talking nonsense, greeted him and began to look for it.

Liu Guangli also hurriedly turned around and looked around.

This is the time to do serious things, Ji Nian knows better than anyone the purpose of this trip, in the final analysis, it still has to fall on the source of Qinglongmu. If you can't find this, it's useless to come. As for making a fortune, he didn't particularly think about it, after all, as long as the golden finger of the palm vitality is there, making money is not a problem.

"Come on, it's your turn to perform."

Ji Nian urged the vitality of his palm and began to move forward step by step.
