Chapter 131: Searching for Wild Mountain Ginseng
"Oh, why are you so ignorant, and do you have any courtesies?" Li Youfu deliberately educated his daughter with a straight face, and he was anxious in his heart, my stupid daughter is coming, you don't look at it, which of the three little aunts and grandmothers over there is not a dumb eye and wants to pounce on him, the "son-in-law of a local tyrant", if you are a stupid girl, if you have no heart, no lungs, no lukewarm, you won't even be a small part for others when you turn around.
"Dad...... You...... You ......" Li Xiaowan looked at her father with a red face and a skin thicker than the city wall, and didn't know how to explain, so he kept stomping his little feet in a hurry.
Just when Li Xiaowan was at a loss, Liu Meng stepped forward at the critical moment, and wanted Li Youfu to shake him out of the file of sleeping with Li Xiaowan in front of his parents, but it was bad, and he faked a cough and said, "Ahem...... That Uncle Li, let's talk about this later, I have to go in and see my eldest sister now......"
"Huh? Profound...... Okay, hehe......" Li Youfu was stunned for a moment, seeing that Liu Meng kept giving him a look, in order to be able to ask him for pocket money or something from this "local tyrant's son-in-law" in the future, he nodded very knowingly.
"Hehe......" Liu Dacheng and Chen Juan looked at the back of their son who walked to the ward alone in confusion, and nodded with a smile with Li Youfu embarrassedly.
"Eldest sister...... Liu Meng looked at the pale eldest sister lying on the hospital bed and called softly.
"Mengzi ......" Liu Mei opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw that it was her younger brother, tears flowed out instantly, and she muttered in a weak voice: "Why don't you let me kill my good brother...... Why......"
"Big sister...... Don't think about it so much, what is not dead, living is the most important thing, what if you leave your parents, what will they do, besides, your life, but your brother and I have worked hard to pull it back from death, and you will never be allowed to say such things again in the future......" Liu Meng grabbed the eldest sister's hand and put it on his face to persuade.
"Woo...... The eldest sister is tired...... Let the eldest sister rest, Mengzi ......" Although Liu Mei woke up, her body was very weak, and she was a little out of breath after not saying a few words.
"Okay, you rest the eldest sister first." Liu Meng nodded and left the ward, he found that the eldest sister's physical condition was still not very optimistic, and he planned to look for him after Song Ruiqi was rested, but as soon as he came out of the ward, he saw Song Ruiqi, Secretary Ling Guowei, and Secretary Yang hurriedly walked over accompanied by Xue Hongfei and Zhao Shihai.
"Mengzi, something happened in the capital, I have to hurry back." Ling Guowei came to Liu Meng's side and said directly to Liu Meng.
"Okay, stay safe on your way." As a member of the National Security Bureau, Liu Meng of course knew how important the matter in Ling Guowei's mouth was, and said without saying a word of nonsense, he suddenly remembered the matter of the eldest sister and held Song Ruiqi's hand and asked: "I'm really sorry Academician Song, I tossed you here in the middle of the night, and I have to go back without even sleeping, I don't think my eldest sister's condition is too good, can you go in and help and take a look again?" ”
"You don't have to be polite with me, young man, it's tight over there, I have to go back, otherwise I plan to stay in Bincheng for a few more days to drink two cups with Lao Zhao, let's go Lao Zhao, let's go in and have a look." Song Ruiqi didn't share with Liu Mengsheng at all, said that he entered the ward with Zhao Shihai, first checked it, then pinched Liu Mei's wrist and closed her eyes to check her pulse, and it took five or six minutes before she opened her eyes.
"How is Academician Song?" Liu Meng couldn't wait to ask.
"The patient's body is indeed very weak, and if you want to recover as before, you have to recuperate." Song Ruiqi pondered for a while, and suddenly looked at Zhao Shihai and said, "By the way, Lao Zhao, do you have a mountain called Qingfeng Mountain here?" ”
"Yes, it's Qingshan County in our Bincheng City, what's wrong?" Zhao Shihai looked at Song Ruiqi puzzled, looking at the illness, why did he suddenly mention Qingfeng Mountain.
"Oh, you are confused Lao Zhao, the wild ginseng of Qingfeng Mountain is the best product for nourishing the body, especially it is said that in the depths of the dense forest of Qingfeng Mountain, there is a frozen wild ginseng that still does not wither in the cold winter, red flowers and green leaves, that is more precious than a thousand years of old ginseng, and now if the patient can use the ginseng soup stewed from the frozen wild ginseng, it will definitely be beneficial to replenish blood and qi!" Song Ruiqi hurriedly reminded.
"Yes, yes, that's true, it's a rare treasure, but no one has really seen it just because I heard it......" Zhao Shihai was overjoyed after hearing this, and then his expression darkened, this frozen wild ginseng is just a legend, he has lived in Bincheng for most of his life, and he has never heard of anyone digging it.
"Yes, it's just that ordinary tonics don't have any effect on the patient's current condition, hey......" Song Ruiqi sighed helplessly.
"Frozen wild ginseng, huh? The two academicians don't have to worry, as long as there is Qingfeng Mountain, I have to dig it back for my eldest sister to make up for my eldest sister even if I turn over Qingfeng Mountain. Liu Meng's eyes lit up, what he was most afraid of was that he had no goal, and now as long as he has a goal, it is a big deal to go to Qingfeng Mountain to find it.
"Hehe, okay, if you dig it, don't forget to leave me a Ha Mengzi, I've been looking for this good thing for so many years, by the way, there is a very important point, if you want to dig this frozen mountain ginseng, you have to dig it at night, like this kind of thing is almost spiritual, and it hides itself during the day!" Song Ruiqi smiled and told Liu Mengdao, somehow, he had a premonition that the young man in front of him would not let him down.
"No problem, Academician Song, if I dig it, take care of my eldest sister's body, and I'll send the rest to you as soon as possible." Liu Meng boldly agreed.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you in the capital, it's not too early, we should go, when will you come to the capital, remember to find me!" Song Ruiqi liked Liu Meng's temperament more and more, and patted Liu Meng's shoulder with a smile.
After sending Song Ruiqi Ling Guowei and Secretary Yang away, of course, there was Ling Wei, who was very reluctant but had to leave, she was really afraid that her fierce brother would be surrounded by so many beauties of all sizes, and it wouldn't take long to forget her, so she sat next to her father and kept pouting.
Liu Meng is a person who does what he says, he plans to go to Qingfeng Mountain tonight to dig frozen wild ginseng for his eldest sister, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Jingmei's godfather Old Man Qin is very familiar with there, so he took out his mobile phone and planned to let Cheng Jingmei help him inquire first, just took out the mobile phone and the ringtone rang, and when he saw that it was Cheng Jingmei calling, he quickly connected: "Hey, Sister Mei......"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Jingmei heard that something was wrong with Liu Meng's voice, and hurriedly asked with concern.
"Sister Mei......" Liu Meng confided in Cheng Jingmei about the eldest sister's suicide by cutting her wrists and the toss of this night, and Cheng Jingmei asked worriedly when she heard it: "Eldest sister...... Sister, is she okay? ”
"Now that it has stabilized, the doctor said that there is a kind of frozen wild ginseng in Qingfeng Mountain that still grows leaves and blooms in winter, you can help me call and ask Grandpa Qin if he has seen Sister Mei......" Liu Meng couldn't wait to inquire.
"Okay, I'll call grandpa, you wait for me, I'll go to the hospital right away." Cheng Jingmei said and hung up the phone anxiously.
On the way to the hospital, Cheng Jingmei called the old man Qin according to Liu Meng's instructions, and when she arrived at the hospital, she first went in to visit Liu Mei, and then told Liu Meng truthfully: "Mengzi, I asked grandpa, grandpa said that the frozen wild ginseng does exist, but it is extremely rare, he lived almost eighty years old and only saw it once, but let it run, grandpa said that if you want to dig it, you have to lock it with a red rope first, otherwise it is smart, and it will run away." ”
"Okay, I see, as long as I have it." Liu Meng couldn't help but feel a touch of joy on his face when he learned that there was indeed a frozen wild ginseng, he had seen some old ginseng diggers digging ginseng in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast before, and he knew about the red rope lock ginseng, and planned to go to Qingfeng Mountain to dig ginseng tonight.
Originally, Cheng Jingmei wanted to go with Liu Meng, but Liu Meng didn't let her go, and it was not as convenient for him to come and go as freely as he alone in the deep mountains and old forests, Liu Meng told her to take care of her parents and eldest sister for herself, prepare tools such as red ropes and folding shovels and strong flashlights, and hurriedly headed for Qingfeng Mountain in the afternoon.
When he arrived in Juye Town, Qingfeng County, Liu Meng found a small restaurant and had a meal, and waited until the evening when it was getting dark, and then he headed alone towards the depths of Qingfeng Mountain, the northwest wind of the cold winter wax moon blew like a knife, and his face hurt, Liu Meng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it in his mouth, and then inhaled violently, and then pulled the placket and wrapped the coat tightly to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the clothes.
After the twentieth month of the twentieth month has reached the root of the year, the deep mountains and old forests in the daytime on weekdays are sparsely populated, not to mention that it is now the middle of the night, in order not to attract the attention of outsiders, Liu Meng did not turn on the strong flashlight, but walked in the deep mountains and old forests in the dark, about half an hour's work finally came to the foot of a mountain, which is just next to a cliff, is an ancient tomb group, and above the cliff is a mountain road up to dozens of meters.
"Damn!" Liu Meng looked up at the sparse traffic lights on the narrow mountain road, and couldn't help but curse secretly, it seems that this time the strong light flashlight is a superfluous move, because as soon as he turns on the flashlight below, it will attract the attention of drivers coming and going on the road, and it will be mistaken for a tomb robber, as long as a phone call passes, it won't take long to rush over.
In order to be safe, Liu Meng planned to act in the second half of the night, and found a small ravine sheltered from the wind to close his eyes and recuperate, and the fire of the cigarette in his mouth flashed and extinguished, decorating the quiet and terrifying winter mountain night.
Liu Meng nested in a sheltered ditch and waited until midnight when there were fewer cars on the mountain road above the cliff before he started to act, in fact, he didn't need a strong flashlight at all, and his years of experience as a secret agent had made him sharp-eyed, even if he couldn't see his fingers, he could distinguish the direction with his keen sense that was different from ordinary people.
Liu Meng was engrossed in using a folding shovel to explore the frozen ginseng that Song Ruiqi said, when suddenly there was a shrill roar of the engine in the direction of the mountain road on the cliff not far away.
