Chapter 007: A Beast Walking Upright

Changqing Mountain has three treasures: ginseng, red pine, and grass everywhere.

Ginseng is the mallet of the local people, and everyone knows its preciousness. Korean pine is the parent of pine seeds and is also an excellent wood. And the grass everywhere is a rare medicinal herb and a wild vegetable that many poor people rely on for survival.

Lei Gong Town also has three treasures: matchmakers, prostitutes, and women......

"What's the other treasure?" Shanbao asked Li Qingzhao, who was crawling with difficulty behind him.

Li Qingzhao, who was tired and exhausted, simply sat on the ground and said angrily: "It's a good treasure." ”

Belch?

Shanbao stopped, turned around and walked back to sit next to Li Qingzhao: "I've never seen you react so quickly, but you rhyme, but you dare to compare me with matchmakers and prostitutes, beware of my mother scolding you." ”

Li Qingzhao pounded his sore calves and said: "I'd rather go back and be scolded by my aunt now than go up the mountain with you to dig ginseng, you said that you are not full of food, and if you don't listen to your aunt's words, you can't eat well to marry that Zhu Yinghao, so you have to go up the mountain to dig ginseng." ”

Shanbao folded a straw casually, and said while playing: "Do you agree to marry you to Liu Dalai?" ”

Liu Dalai is a scoundrel in her hometown, and her biggest hobby in life is to flirt with a woman from a good family, and then be beaten by the husband or brother of a woman from a good family, for fun.

Li Qingzhao immediately shook his head: "I don't want it." He replied: "But Zhu Yinghao is better than Liu Dalai, with a good appearance and a good temper, and the key people are still less bosses." ”

Less heads?

Shanbao tilted his head to look at her: "Where does the name of this young man come from?" ”

Li Qingzhao sneered: "You are so stupid, his father is the leader, of course he is the leader." ”

Shanbao: "...... All right. ”

Wu Zetian invented the word Cao as a name, and he is also a woman, why is Li Qingzhao not allowed to invent a young leader, so Shanbao can only say "okay".

At this time, the daylight was just right, and Li Qingzhao was lazily lying on the boulder under him, muttering reluctantly: "Why do you want to dig ginseng and pull me, I'm really tired." ”

Shanbao sniffed, there seemed to be a wisp of cold incense, looking around and there were no flowers, this fragrance came inexplicably, she searched with her eyes and replied to Li Qingzhao: "I'm lonely, and besides, we have always been two little guesses, childhood sweethearts." ”

Li Qingzhao pouted: "When I don't know what it means to be two little guesses and childhood sweethearts, you are timid." ”

Shanbao was seeing God, and a black thing loomed in the tall grass not far away, and she said, "I'm cowardly to pull you, but ...... Are there bears in Changqingshan? Or a tiger? ”

Li Qingzhao's sleepiness struck, and he said softly: "Where do I know." ”

Shanbao suddenly raised his voice: "Is that a beast?" ”

Li Qingzhao is a carp to fight ...... didn't get up, but finally got up, rubbed his eyes and asked in horror: "Where is it?" ”

Following the direction of Shanbao's finger, the black thing actually stood upright, and Li Qingzhao was so frightened that he grabbed Shanbao: "Changqingshan is really weird, and fierce beasts can walk upright." ”

Shanbao was watching carefully, but did not answer.

The black thing actually came towards them, Li Qingzhao said with a crying voice: "I said that I won't come, you let me come, I was lying to my aunt that we went to Zhu Yingzi's embroidery workshop to play, and it was a trivial matter to be scolded by my aunt when I went back, and now I will be eaten by a beast, I'm afraid that there are no bones left, and we can't find it if my aunt wants to bury us." ”

Shanbao ignored her nonsense, still looking at it seriously, patting her and holding her hand to comfort: "Even if you die, I will accompany you." ”

Li Qingzhao didn't follow: "It's obvious that I'm with you, and besides, you're so thin, and you don't have two taels of meat on your body, how can the beast take a fancy to you, if you want to eat, you have to eat me first, I'm such a big lump, and I'm full after eating my beast, you won't die, I just found out that you are so cunning." ”

Shanbao sneered, and just wanted to appease her, but Li Qingzhao suddenly shouted: "Changqing Mountain really lives up to its reputation, and the beast actually looks like a human. ”

Shanbao licked the corners of his mouth and said helplessly: "Maybe you can think differently, this so-called beast...... He's really a person. ”

Li Qingzhao leaned forward and looked at it again, and said happily: "It's really a person." ”

It was a man, but the man was wearing a fur crane, his hair was scattered, and his facial features were difficult to see with his beard, so he was not sure of his age.

Two or more steps away from Shanbao, the man stood still, looked at them, and looked at Shanbao, his eyes were clear and cold, cold and cold, but indescribably good-looking.

After a while, he changed directions and left, the rugged mountain road seemed to be a smooth road under his feet, and he didn't wait for Shanbao and the others to have other ideas, such as whether this man would be a murderer hunted by the Yamen, which posed a threat to their lives, or an elusive flower thief, which posed a threat to their reputation, and they couldn't think about it, they were gone.

The man who suddenly appeared intensified Li Qingzhao's reluctance to go up the mountain, and muttered: "You don't know how to dig ginseng, let's go back." ”

Shanbao patted the treasure on his body, and the burning stick he stole from Cui's was used as a rope stick, which was used to pull the grass to find ginseng. stole a bamboo chopstick from the kitchen of the Zhu family and sold it with a kitchen knife, which can be regarded as a deer bone skewer when digging ginseng out of the earth. In addition, by the way, the kitchen knife of the Zhu family was also stolen, which was used to cut off the roots of the grass and trees when it was excavated.

She learned all from Zhu Yingzi's half-bottle of water mouth, but in fact, there are a lot of items that she brings with her.

Li Qingzhao looked left and right, the man who suddenly appeared just now reminded her that Changqing Mountain has many poisonous insects and beasts, and said that the general goods are guarded by poisonous snakes, she is now frightened, and said in a pleading tone: "Let's go back, in fact, the sixth uncle said that it is good to promise you to the uncle of the ancestral family, Mrs. Zhengmu, the ancestral family is the richest man, from now on you can eat and drink spicy food, my aunt and I will also follow you to eat and drink spicy food, why bother digging ginseng, if the ginseng is good to dig, the sixth uncle's family will not be rich." ”

The mountain wind rose, blowing the tall grass and leaves, rustling, rustling, looking at the trees are rocks, obscured and desolate, how can Shanbao not be timid, just marrying Zu Baishou She is unwilling to die, so coaxed Li Qingzhao and said: "When I dig up the thousand-year-old ginseng, I will give you half of the money from selling ginseng, and you can buy a lot of roast chicken and a lot of smoked elbows." ”

People take food as the sky, people take life as the first, these delicacies are compared to life, can not move Li Qingzhao, she saw that she could not persuade the good treasure, rolled her eyes, intermittently clever, sighed: "For the sake of roast chicken and smoked elbows, let's go." ”

Shanbao smiled, pulled her up vigorously, and the two of them continued on their way.

Changqing Mountain is so high and big, Shanbao doesn't know where there is ginseng, you need to watch the mountain scenery, this is what the head of the ginseng should do, that is, to search for where there may be ginseng, Shanbao doesn't understand, but I heard that ginseng likes to grow in the middle of the mountain, so she went straight to the halfway up the mountain.

Li Qingzhao stumbled under her feet, and the road became more and more difficult, she pulled her skirt and asked: "If you want to say that the three treasures of Changqing Mountain are reasonable, the three treasures of Lei Gong Town really dare not compliment, the people here are so strange." ”

Shanbao had already begun to use a burning stick to pull the grass to find ginseng, and said: "Matchmaker, prostitute and that, matchmaker is a must to achieve marriage, marriage is a must to have children, and having children is a must for people to pass on from generation to generation, you say matchmaker is important or not." ”

I found something, squatted down and looked at it, it was just an artemisia, continued to hurry, and continued: "As for prostitutes, the trade of ginseng and medicinal herbs in Lei Gong Town and the trade of other mountain goods are prosperous, many foreign merchants come here, at least a few days and more than a few months to live in the town, it is inevitable to be away from home for a long time, prostitutes are used to appease them, so that the merchants continue to come here, you say that it is important or not, as for the third treasure, I don't know." ”

Li Qingzhao smiled: "The third treasure is you." ”

Shanbao knew that she was joking, and in order to make her happy, he followed the words: "Shanbao Shanbao, kind baby, rob the rich and help the poor, eliminate violence and peace, and rob the house...... The more he talked, the more chaotic he became.

Li Qingzhao laughed, and suddenly slipped under her feet, and the person fell down, falling to the ground and shaking the mountain, and she also cried.

Shanbao hurriedly dropped the burning stick to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Qingzhao cried and pointed to his feet: "It's gone." ”

Seonpo held her ankle...... Suddenly, I found that this was a difficult technique, and her foot and neck were too thick to hold, so I pressed it and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Li Qingzhao was reminded by her and nodded vigorously: "It hurts, it hurts." ”

Shanbao found that her eyes flickered, sighed in his heart, understood something, and said, "Look, I don't have a plaster on me, so it's better for you to go down the mountain and go back." ”

Li Qingzhao clicked his eyes: "I'll go down the mountain?" ”

Shanbao nodded: "Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to walk with a limp and it will also drag me down." ”

Li Qingzhao said happily: "Okay, okay, you also go down the mountain, you are afraid alone." ”

Unexpectedly, Shanbao shook his head: "I can't go down the mountain, I lied to my mother today, she will be on guard another day, and I will not go back until I dig up a thousand years of ginseng." ”

Li Qingzhao still wanted to persuade him, but Shanbao got up and left, leaving a sentence: "Either you go down the mountain by yourself, or you follow." ”

Li Qingzhao sat on the ground and thought about it, on the one hand, she felt that it was unjust to her to leave Shanbao, and on the other hand, she felt that it was unkind to herself to go up the mountain. ”
