Chapter 402: Mallet
After coming out of the forest farm, Hu Hongde took Ye Tian into the old forest, and the fallen leaves in late autumn were thickly spread on the ground, and the sound of "click" made when stepped on it, and it could be heard far away in the silent mountain forest. update
The forests of the Northeast are completely different from the jungles of Maoshan, and the towering trees and endless mountains are not found in Maoshan, giving people a primitive and rugged feeling.
"Lao Hu, didn't you say that guns are banned? How can you still fight a roe deer? Walking on the road to Hu Hongde's residence, Ye Tian chatted with him casually.
"The ban on guns is aimed at people in the city, who lives in Changbai Mountain, who doesn't have two shotguns? Can it be forbidden? ”
Hu Hongde shook his head, and then said: "There are many roe deer in the mountains, and they are easy to fight, let's see if we can touch them tomorrow, and I will let you taste the roe deer meat." ”
"Okay, it's good to meet a tiger."
Ye Tian didn't have any concept of protecting wild animals in his mind, he had been scourging the animals on Maoshan since he was eight years old, and some fox-like small animals that could be seen everywhere on the periphery of Maoshan were driven to the depths of Maoshan by Ye Tian.
"There aren't many tigers, but there are a lot of foxes, but that thing is more cunning, and the fire fox skin on my body was hit more than ten years ago."
Speaking of the fox fur on his body, Hu Hongde looked proud, once a fur merchant saw it and offered 400,000 US dollars, but he was never willing to sell it.
The fire fox is a mysterious animal in nature, and few people have seen its panorama in person, and it has long been considered a mysterious, eerie incarnation.
Moreover, the fire fox has a strong explosive power, which can be activated in an instant, and can compete with the world's fastest animal, the cheetah, in a certain time.
Everyone knows that there is a fire fox in the mountain, but no one has ever been able to hunt it, and Hu Hongde caught this fire fox that year, which caused a great sensation.
Ye Tian said half-jokingly: "Old Hu, you Sun and Moon Dao believe in the Fox Immortal, and if you beat them, no wonder you can't invite the Fox Immortal." ”
"What? Did I say that? After Ye Tian said this, he saw that Hu Hongde's face immediately changed, and he was also stunned.
"You're really talking about it."
Hu Hongde let out a long sigh and said, "Since I hit this fox, I can't use some simple techniques that I used to use, otherwise my wife won't be ......."
Most of the people who practice martial arts are people who have a mental character, and after Hu Hongde saw this fire fox back then, he didn't think about what to do with his own magical power of inviting the great immortal, and he killed the fox with great effort.
Although there was nothing to blame the fox immortal in the future, the shallow spells he knew could no longer be cast.
"Well, let's not talk about it, let's hurry up and find the Soul Returning Grass, I said Lao Hu, the plants in this mountain have all withered, can you still find the Soul Returning Grass?" Seeing that he mentioned Hu Hongde's sadness, Ye Tian hurriedly changed the topic.
"Yes, I remember going over the hill in front of me, and there is a donkey splint growing in the woods next to the stream at the bottom of the mountain, and we'll dig it tomorrow morning."
Hu Hongde and Ye Tian are both people who have been walking mountain roads for a long time, although they are talking, they are not slow at all under their feet, and they have already entered and climbed to the halfway point of this mountain after more than half an hour, which is Hu Hongde's home.
The three wooden huts were arched in a triangle, with a small courtyard in the middle, and around the huts there was a row of fences on which small bells hung to warn and drive away wild beasts.
"Wang ...... Barking! ”
With a dog barking, a yellow-haired old dog jumped out of the fence in the yard, shook his tail at Hu Hongde, and immediately stared at Ye Tian with his eyes. ..., the dog's ability to predict danger is far more than that of humans, this old yellow dog has fought with the leopards and wolves in the mountains and forests, and he discovered the surging blood on Ye Tian's body for the first time.
Hu Hongde patted the yellow dog's head with his hand and said, "Rhubarb, this is our most distinguished guest, be friendly!" ”
"Woo woo ......" seemed to be able to understand Hu Hongde's words, the big yellow dog let out a whimpering sound from his mouth, sniffed at Ye Tian's feet with his nose, turned around and ran away.
"Don't look at Rhubarb as a leper dog, the wild wolves on this mountain can't bite it."
Hu Hongde pushed open the wooden fence with a smile and said, "Ye Tian, come in, I'll pack up some food, let's drink some more, and you will live in Xiaoxian's house when you turn back." ”
These three wooden houses are the residences of Hu Hongde and his granddaughter, and the other one is for miscellaneous goods, and sometimes passing hunters will stay in them.
"Cheng, this place is really primitive?"
Everything in front of him was very fresh to Ye Tian, and the wood of this wooden house was even connected to the shriveled bark, which was definitely the most original and primitive building.
Staying here, Ye Tian even had a feeling of returning to the primitive society, tens of thousands of years ago, his ancestors may have been like this, fighting against nature with the most humble conditions.
"The vitality is not weak, no wonder Hu Hongde can practice the external kung fu from the outside to the inside."
Ye Tian took a deep breath, although the free vitality between heaven and earth was not as strong as that of the courtyard, it was very pure, and the wisps overflowed into Ye Tian's body, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
You must know that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is not only useful for cultivators, but also for ordinary people who stay in a place where the Yuan Qi is pure for a long time, and their bodies will be nourished without disease and disaster.
Hu Hongde, a person who is a practitioner himself, has lived here for a long time, and the internal injuries accumulated in his body because of the external kung fu have been subtly healed by these vitality.
"Ye Tian, come to dinner, it's getting late today, otherwise I'll go into the forest and get you a few flying dragons to eat."
Hu Hongde's house was full of wild boar meat and some dried game, and after cooking a few dishes himself, he beckoned Ye Tian to sit on the edge of the table.
There was a bonfire in the house, drinking burning knives at more than 60 degrees, listening to Hu Hongde tell about the events of decades ago, and occasionally the howl of wild wolves in the mountains, all of which could not be experienced in the city.
Ye Tian didn't use his strength to control the amount of alcohol, he drank drunk and slept very well this night, and got up early the next morning to push open the wooden door, the cool breeze blew on his face, and his spirit was lifted.
Hu Hongde was preparing in the courtyard, and when he saw Ye Tian coming out, he greeted: "Ye Tian, let's go, go early and come back early!" ”
"Lao Hu, what are you doing with a ball of red rope?" Seeing Hu Hongde with a shotgun on his back and stuffing a red rope into his backpack, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Hu Hongde said with a smile: "I will leave an old mallet in the mountains, and this time you will bring it to your uncle to replenish your body." ”
"Mallet? What is this? Ye Tian was stunned for a moment.
"That's what we call it, it's ginseng." Hu Hongde looked regretful, "Alas, I sold a three-hundred-year-old one last year, and I knew that I would leave it to my uncle, and there are fewer and fewer old ginseng on this mountain." ”
"300-year-old wild ginseng?" Ye Tian asked, "Lao Hu, how much did you sell it?" ”
Hu Hongde smacked his mouth and said, "Three million, it's an old customer who came to collect it, and I'm not embarrassed to raise the price." ”
"Three million?!"
Ye Tian didn't care that Hu Hongde was already in his sixties, so he almost scolded, "I said Lao Hu, aren't you a loser?" A hundred years of ginseng can be sold for seven or eight million, and you can sell three million for these three hundred years?! When Ye Tian gave Tang Xuexue a pulse some time ago, Tang Wenyuan almost covered all the wild ginseng in the medicinal material market in Hebei, and spent tens of millions of yuan, and the hundred-year-old ginseng king alone cost nearly 10 million.
Now that I heard that Hu Hongde sold a three-hundred-year-old ginseng for three million, Ye Tianna was distressed, you know, not to mention hundreds of years of ginseng at the moment, it is rare to see it for decades.
"I also know that the price is low, but it's useless for me to ask for so much money, plus the other party is an old customer, so I gave it to him, Ye Tian, do you want ginseng to be useful?"
Ye Tian in front of him is actually a generation higher than Hu Hongde, although his words are not disrespectful, Old Man Hu has no temper at all, who let Ye Tian's senior brother and his own Lao Tzu be brothers who drank blood wine.
"Lao Hu, how fresh is your question, can the effect of ginseng be useless to people who practice martial arts?" Ye Tian said angrily.
"That's it, the mallet I left is more than 200 years old, you brought it to my uncle, and there are a few more than 50 years old, if you can use it, I will pick them all!"
Experienced ginseng pickers will not pick ginseng when they see it, and people like Hu Hongde often leave a mark next to it after encountering good ginseng, and will only pick it when it can be used.
"Okay, I'll see you then."
Ye Tian ate the human body in his stomach, not to mention one hundred and eighty plants, but he really hadn't seen the process of picking ginseng, and when he heard Hu Hongde say this, he was a little moved.
The two of them walked out of the hut as they spoke, and the big yellow dog led the way with his tail wagging in front, and soon crossed the top of the mountain.
The forest behind the mountain has become denser, and as you can imagine walking through the birch forest, if it were a summer with lush foliage, I would not have seen a ray of sunlight overhead.
"Ye Tian, slow down!" Just after passing through a dense forest, Rhubarb suddenly stopped, and Ye Tian was also stopped by Hu Hongde behind him.
"What's the matter, ginseng?"
Ye Tian was looking around all the way to find a ginseng plant, but this was not the season for ginseng to bloom, only the rhizomes were buried deep in the ground, far from being found by Ye Tian.
Hu Hongde shook his head and said, "No, someone dug a trap in front." ”
Hu Hongde took a few steps forward, squatted down and stuck his hand in the layer of dead leaves, and pulled hard, revealing a dark hole in the ground.
