146 Courage to Capture the Snake's Gall (1)
"Okay, everything is in place, now there is only one snake gall left......"
Back in the room rented by Wang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Qi put a medicine pot and more than a dozen herbs in the corner of the room, glanced at Wang Xiaoxiao, who was still sleeping at the bedside, completed the most important step, and finally slowly exhaled a breath.
Fortunately, it is still summer, and there are traces of snakes in some wastelands in the north, and it is not difficult to obtain the last animal-based medicine.
For bear's paw deer antler velvet and the like, although Jiang Qi felt that it was not a big problem to get it smoothly with his own ability, however, thinking that these were probably protected animals prohibited by the state, he randomly gave up this idea and put more energy on obtaining a snake gall.
After all, for him, the refinement of the same elements is transformable, but the procedure is slightly more complicated.
To the west of Yunhai City, thirty kilometers from the junction of urban and rural areas is Jiang Qi's hometown, in the north, in the endless plain, there used to be a not very large hilly area, Jiang Qi remembers that when he was naughty when he was a child, he went there to play, there was a reed field overgrown with aquatic weeds, which was the easiest to lurk some mice, snakes and other animals. When I used to follow those gangsters to mess with the girls in the class, I often came to the edge of this reed field.
However, their activity is limited to this reed field, and when it comes to the real snake-rich area, it is in the mountains......
Although he was born with a little fear of snakes, in order to successfully treat Sister Xiaoxiao, he could only take risks.
"Hey, Brother Fan, I'm Jiang Qi, have you been busy with work lately, and I want to trouble you with a little thing......"
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Qi felt that if he went out alone, although he would not be bitten by a snake, because he was really disgusted with a creature like a snake from the bottom of his heart, he could only ask that veteran Fan Di for a favor.
Since I didn't know this kid because of the Sun family's affairs, the private relationship between the two has been good. Thinking that this soldier has also undergone special training for survival in the wild, he should be the most expert at catching snakes. Moreover, the most important thing is that in a chat, he knew that Fan Di's hometown was in that hilly, and he should be considered an expert at catching snakes.
"Snakes? You want a snake? And is it alive? To take the living gallbladder and refine the medicine...... Uh, I'm ashamed to say it, my old Fan Tian is not afraid of the ground, and he naturally hates this the most, but you don't have to worry, I have a little brother, named Xiao Yin, who used to catch snakes in that hill and sell them for money, if you are in a hurry, I can find him......"
Hearing that Jiang Qi had something to ask for him, Fan Di naturally didn't want to refuse. You must know that the last time I arrested the boss of Lanxiang Group, I still owe Jiang Qi a favor.
"Okay, then please trouble your little brother, and give him 500 yuan after the matter is completed...... I'm not going to let him suffer......"
Hearing that this little brother used to catch snakes and sell them for money, Jiang Qi felt that this matter would be easy to do.
Favors are put aside first, but anything that can be settled with money is not a big problem.
Things went very smoothly, when Fan Di discussed Jiang Qi's matter with one of his buddies Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin immediately showed a look of uneagerness, but then immediately became cautious, he asked Fan Di: "It's no problem to catch snakes, but I have to ask you honestly, do you think this person is reliable?" The snakes in our area are not as poisonous as those in the south, they are all ordinary snakes, and they are not very valuable......"
Fan Di patted his chest: "They are all brothers, can they be unreliable!" ”
Xiao Yin then said: "That's fine!" But then again, I have to state in advance that although catching snakes is not a hard job, it will delay my day's wages, so you will have to compensate me a little ......."
"Nonsense! That can still be a disadvantage to you! Jiang Qi said that as long as the thing is done, you will be given 500 yuan...... How's that, that's interesting. That's it, if he's okay, I'll get him tomorrow! When the time comes, you will have to listen to what kind of snake you catch......"
When he told Jiang Qi about this matter, he naturally had no opinion, so the three parties made a decision, and it was decided.
Early the next morning, Jiang Qi made an appointment with Fan Di, took a city and city bus, and soon came to this town.
The next day, the three of them were very happy to get together, especially Fan Di and Jiang Qi, although they had only known each other for a few days, but in Jiang Qi's opinion, the two of them were like brothers for many years at this time, and obviously they looked far better than their relationship with his little brother.
In order to make it easier to go up the mountain, Xiao Yin found a boat and planned to go up the mountain from the waterway, and the fishing boat bypassed the twists and turns of the river and slowly headed towards the destination.
In fact, there is no need for them to be so cautious, and if they want to take the bus from the shore, it is faster.
However, as if to deliberately please Jiang Qi, this thin boy was extremely respectful to Jiang Qi from the beginning, as if receiving a VIP from afar, and dedicating all kinds of enthusiasm from the moment they met.
While rowing, Xiao Yin lowered his voice and said to them, "Brother Jiang, do you know why there are so many snakes in our mountain? To tell you the truth, legend has it that this mountain used to be a treasure...... Back then, in order to excavate a Han tomb, the national scientific expedition team almost blew up the whole mountain, and even the old people said that the scientific expedition team excavated the mausoleum and destroyed the snake's nest, so the snake climbed all over the mountain, looking for stolen treasures everywhere......"
Fan Di smiled: "I've heard about this, too...... To this day, many people still think that there is some treasure buried in this mountain...... But we can't always be superstitious rumors, don't tell you, although Jiang Qi looks about the same age as the two of us, he is a genuine treasure expert...... the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", you know, Jiang Qi's buddy is that kind of capable person, not to mention the tombs, dozens of feng shui also have deep research, I really want to amuse him, maybe I will point you a little bit or two, and you can dig a big tomb or something, and make a fortune......"
"Really?"
Xiao Yin was also proud when he heard this, rowed harder, turned his head and said to Jiang Qi: "Brother Jiang, you really came to our place." If you want to say this tourism, it's not me who blows, we're really good, don't look at the TV and say it's good, it's good compared to us, but it's far behind...... But we're a remote point, and most people don't know about it. However, I assert that in less than three years, we will definitely become a tourist destination...... When this is over, I'll take you around, relying on those local guides, and don't kill you. ”
Jiang Qi smiled but did not answer.
In fact, to be honest, until he came to this town yesterday, Jiang Qi always thought that he and Xiao Yin were purely a snake gall trade relationship, and everything was aimed at catching snakes, but when he got here, he found that it was not so simple, Xiao Yin had to pull himself to play in the mountains for a few more days at the beginning, and the topic was always inseparable from the Han Tomb.
He thought, he was here anyway, so it was better to go around with Fan Di and them.
It wasn't until they got on the boat and as soon as the two of them talked that Jiang Qi knew that they were not simply asking themselves out to play, but had other purposes......
I accidentally heard that he was a treasure connoisseur, and this guy actually thought that he knew Feng Shui very well, and by the way, he wanted to help him take a good look at where there were still undeveloped Han tombs.
You know, this town used to be the fief of a royal family of the Han family, even the king of Zhongshan was buried here after his death, although his mausoleum was found here after liberation, but the town has always been legendary, although the king of Zhongshan was excavated, but there are many more hidden, that is, some treasure thieves can not find out, just hide in this not very big mountain......
Everyone was silent for a while, and Xiao Yin continued: "Do you know, the mountain we went to is also called Lingshan, the whole mountain was about to be hollowed out back then, and since the discovery of Zhongshan's mausoleum, there are more and more snakes on the mountain......"
"The whole mountain? Is it so exaggerated! Fan Di chuckled, although he didn't spend much time in his hometown, it wasn't as exaggerated as Xiao Yin said.
"Uh," Xiao Yin smiled, "It's a bit exaggerated, but it's true that you can say that...... I heard that when the excavation was carried out that year, it was too hard to do it, and the scientific expedition team made several blasting points but failed to find the right position, and almost blew up the entire tomb......"
Fan Di said: "You kid can't speak, but what I'm curious about is that since it is a tomb of the Han Dynasty, this tomb has been hidden for hundreds of years, so how did it be discovered......"
"How did you find out? It's kind of funny to say......"
Xiao Yin smiled, and then said, "Do you know? According to my grandfather, the village at the foot of the mountain used to be called 'Shouling Village', and the village has been held for generations, and major festivals are held every year...... But when asked who they were guarding the mausoleum, everyone shook their heads blankly, and no one knew...... It wasn't until one day that a large group of scientific expedition teams came to this mountain village with a strange name, and the mountain gate was blown open, and they suddenly realized that this hill was the mausoleum they had been guarding for generations......
Fishing boats pass through a field, and a row of walled hills comes into view......
The mountain, only more than 200 meters above sea level, definitely belongs to a dwarf among the great peaks of the strange mountains: yellow soil, mottled stones, gray sky, all of this, ordinary can no longer be ordinary...... If Xiao Yin hadn't suddenly docked the boat, he really couldn't think of what kind of tomb this little broken hill had to do with it......
After Xiao Yin's reminder, and then take a closer look, the mountain is actually a little steep, and the cliffs on the side are some of them cut with knives, and some of them are shower-hanging, and the outline is clear. Isolated and convex rock mass. A winding and smooth road curves to the top of the mountain, which is very obvious at the bottom of the mountain.
Snakes, is it really something to do with a tomb?
With a slight frown, Jiang Qi had to start thinking about this question. (To be continued.) )
