In the old forest of Changqing Mountain, there are many places named by the mountain people, such as Wild Boar Ridge, Old Wolf Slope, Luer Village, Tiger Leaping River, Black Blind Cliff......

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but Shanbao is indeed afraid of snakes, when she and the bearded man followed the king of the mountain to this pine forest called the snake's nest, suddenly a slender snake flew towards her, the bearded man fight, the snake snapped to the ground, she was shocked to see, the snake had a deer bone stick inserted in its body.

"Be careful." The bearded man patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"I'm fine." Shanbao forced a smile, who knew that as soon as he took a step, his legs were so weak that he knelt down, and the bearded man reacted quickly enough to catch her with one hand.

"Go back and wait for me, digging ginseng is a meticulous job, it takes a long time, and on the other hand, the rules of the ginseng gang do not allow women to release the mountain, why should you risk the disapproval of the world, offend the mountain god, and the millennium mallet will change hands." The bearded man consulted with her like a child.

At first, Shanbao was not very reluctant, but in the end she stepped on a nest of snakes under her feet, and the whole person collapsed in the arms of the bearded man, and he carried her back to the ground.

The breath warmed up during the day, the bonfire was about to be extinguished, and Shanbao knelt down by the fire, stepping on the snake's nest The scene was shocking.

Without waiting to stabilize his mind, the bearded man said, "Someone has come, let's go." ”

Shanbao understands that the so-called someone has come does not refer to her and the bearded man, but another uninvited guest, think about it may be other mountain people, what I don't understand is why the bearded man's eyes are cold, as if the person walking the rivers and lakes was found by the enemy.

The guest is as the host goes, Shanbao has no objections, and supports it first.

The bearded man behind looked left and right, his sword eyebrows twisted into a deep groove, secretly wondering who was following him, casually lowered his eyes, and suddenly found that Shanbao's jasper butterfly hairpin was lying quietly in the fine grass, he leaned over and picked it up, looked at Shanbao in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally put the hairpin into his arms.

The two men left the earth, and walked for some time, and when Shanbao was exhausted, they came to a place, which was a house made entirely of thick wood.

Shanbao was very strange: "There are still people in such a deserted place?" ”

The bearded man said, "This is the mushroom room." ”

Mushroom, that is, mushroom, mushroom room is the mountain people outside the mountain to collect mushrooms for drying and use, now is autumn, the most suitable mushroom picking pine seeds pick schisandra and so on, I don't know why this mushroom room is vacant.

The three large rooms are very spacious, with several large kang mud sheets, and the room is slightly furnished, with pots and pans, lamps and candles, and even covers.

The bearded man went out to patrol around, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he came back and told Shanbao: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Shanbao had the heart to follow, thinking about the nest of snakes, but nodded: "What if you don't come back?" ”

The bearded man laughed: "If that's the case, why should I save you from the wolf's mouth." ”

Shanbao pouted: "Maybe you regret it now." ”

Syllable! The head was knocked on the head by the bearded man: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Shanbao rubbed his head, for no reason, he was suddenly reluctant to give up, and when the family was gone, she was still thinking about what kind of feelings this feeling was, and then finally figured out that she was like a child who depended on her father at this time, and then it was wrong to think about it, although the bearded man covered his real age with a beard, but those clear eyes and good-looking hands betrayed him, and it was really prescient to call him brother.

Alone and bored, she jumped from one kang to another, looked through everything she could in the room, chewed a few pieces of jerky left by the bearded man at noon, sang a little song, drew a puppy, took a nap, and finally lost her temper - why should I trust him?

At dusk, he sat at the door of the mushroom house and watched the sunset, and the moon rose and stood on a high hill looking into the distance - he still did not return.

Suddenly, Shanbao was shaken, and thought that he was a good person who had not met in a hundred years, but it turned out that he was a fool who had not met in a hundred years.

Oh, I really can't go down the mountain secretly, and after selling it, I will go to the Yihong Mansion and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to meet the girl, not because I am noble, but - I was originally a girl, haha!

Amused by his own whimsy, after the joy is endless loneliness, but still refuses to go back to the mushroom room, has been sitting on a high place and watching, obviously distrustful of others, but always feels that he will fall from the sky.

Sou! Something really fell from the sky, and it sparkled brightly in the moonlight to her head.

Hula! A figure pounced, his coat swinging a dagger down.

At the same time, Shanbao has instinctively hidden, his long hair is shaken, and he is stabbed! There was a slight thud, and a strand of her hair was cut off.

When this figure fell, Shanbao saw it clearly, it was a bearded man, and when he saw him, he said loudly: "Why did Your Excellency do black things to a little girl. ”

I heard the sound of footsteps, and I ran away.

Shanbao thought he was stupid and stood stunned.

The bearded man's hand pressed on her shoulder and patted it gently: "It's okay." ”

Shanbao looked up at him: "Who wants to kill me?" ”

The bearded man smiled slightly: "Probably, it's a mountain bandit." ”

Shanbao obviously felt that there was suspicion in his words, but except for the mountain bandits, he really had no enemies, and he was worried about the thousand-year-old ginseng in his heart, so he looked at the bearded man up and down: "What about the ginseng?" ”

The bearded man pretended to be angry: "You made me feel so cold, and it took a day to dig ginseng for you, and you didn't ask me if it was going well, you must know that there are dozens of snakes coiled around the ginseng, and they are all poisonous snakes." ”

When he said this, it proved that he had indeed dug up the thousand-year-old ginseng, and Shanbao had a bottom in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt?" Can there be poisoning? Don't be afraid, I'm the daughter of a miracle doctor. ”

Before he said it, he regretted that his mother was not allowed to say that he understood medical skills.

Fortunately, the bearded man ignored this, and said, "I'm joking with you, go, go back and show you ginseng." ”

Shanbao thought that he was too excited, and when he got off the high post, he unconsciously grabbed the bearded man's hand, and felt that the other party's hand trembled, and then she pulled it.

Back at the mushroom room, he lit the oil lamp left by the owner before, and the bearded man slowly opened the bark package, which was a thick layer of moss, and then ginseng was revealed inside.

Shanbao sighed: "Brother, you see, it doesn't look like a person, no wonder it's called ginseng." ”

Even though her family opened a medical center and saw ginseng, she was stunned by the seedling in front of her.

The bearded man nodded: "Look closely, does it look like you?" ”

Shanbao looked at it for a long time, as if he didn't know, but really like a dancing woman.

The bearded man said: "Just from the appearance, the price is expensive." ”

Shanbao rejoiced: "Is it really a thousand years? ”

The bearded man was confident: "Even if there are no thousand years, at least a few hundred years, in short, you are developed." ”

Good treasure is not supportable, the so-called seven taels for ginseng eight taels for treasure, look at this seedling ginseng more than eight taels, look left and right, never get tired of looking, because this seedling ginseng, their own mother, can no longer send people under the fence.

Suddenly, he asked, "You really don't have a penny?" ”

The bearded man said happily: "The eldest husband is full of words, not to mention, I am not poor." ”

Shanbao was worried: "But I feel a little uneasy. ”

The bearded man was half-lying on the kang with one hand on his cheeks, and asked with a smile: "Why?" ”

Shanbao said: "No merit is not rewarded, how can I ask you for such a big gift in vain." ”

The bearded man laughed and said, "In order to give you peace of mind, I'll take the ginseng for myself." ”

Shanbao hurriedly blocked it with his hand: "Don't, I'll repay you in another way." ”

The bearded man laughed loudly, and his expression was dazed in an instant, and he said solemnly: "Remember my words, the rules of the gang do not allow women to release the mountain, so you can't go in person for this Miao ginseng shot, after going down the mountain tomorrow, ask an acquaintance to go to the ancestral mountain warehouse in the town, where there is an old shopkeeper, tell your people, less than five thousand is not sold, the old shopkeeper is used to bargaining, let your people turn around and leave, the old shopkeeper will chase him, continue to bargain, and then he will go again, the old shopkeeper will continue to chase, continue to bargain, this is his strategy, several times, Ordinary people can be moved by him, and the people who tell you, if the old shopkeeper is entangled, he will raise the ginseng and pretend to be embarrassed and angry to fall, and then the old shopkeeper will definitely stop him, he loves money, of course, in order to make the old shopkeeper who is greedy for money how much comfort, and finally shoot with three thousand taels. ”

Shanbao listened carefully, and had already thought of a candidate, of course, it was Zhu Lao Liu, but he was worried that he didn't know if he would come back from the mountain.

Suddenly asked: "Brother, you are also my acquaintance, you will sell it on my behalf." ”

The expected answer: "I am an old winter dog, and I have lived in the mountains for a long time." ”

Shanbao didn't believe it, how could a person who lived in the mountains have such a beautiful pair of hands, and it was impossible to wear clothes made of such good materials, and he didn't force it, thinking that he was about to separate tomorrow, and somewhere in his body was empty, it was a strange feeling.

"Brother, I know you don't have a wife, in order to repay you, I'll tell you about family affairs." Shanbao watched as the bearded man carefully repacked the ginseng.

The bearded man raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said happily: "Tell me, who is it, is it a ......?"

The bluffed Shanbao hurriedly said: "It's my cousin, you see that she is very good, except that she can eat a little, she is lazy, she has no ink, her mind is dull, her voice is loud, and she walks loudly...... Other than that, she's fine. ”

The bearded man pulled out the jade flute on his waist: "Dare to ask, does she still have advantages?" ”

Shanbao sighed: "She can't do it, I still have it by my side." ”

The bearded man wiped the jade flute with a silk handkerchief: "Could it be ......?"

Shanbao grabbed again: "It's Zhu Yingzi, the daughter of the sixth uncle, her father is a leader, and her hands are also skillful." ”

The bearded man frowned and thought for a moment: "This is not bad." ”

Shanbao rolled his eyes: "However, she is a little short, you see that you are so tall, it is not coordinated, and her eyes are not too big, you see that your eyes are so good-looking, it is not a good match." ”

The bearded man pretended to be disappointed: "Forget it." ”

Shanbao said: "Neither of them can do it, only Zhu Yinghao is left by my side, he is Zhu Yingzi's elder brother, the son of the sixth uncle, dignified, tall, and ...... eyes."

Syllable! The head was knocked on the head by the bearded man: "Nonsense." ”
