Chapter 38 Ginseng Pickers (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
In the depths of the lonely forest, countless fine ancient trees are towering to the sky, and tall and lush trees shade the penetration of sunlight. From time to time, a little gap leaked out of the poorly defended bushes, and the light took the opportunity to shine through this gap in the middle to reflect a thin beam of light in this dense forest, and the beam of light passed through these lush leaves, casting a spot of light in the dense forest with difficulty.
The light spots shine on the surface of the ground, which is covered by the dead leaves of the deep mountain forest, making the originally dark low bushes reveal a bit of smart green. A caterpillar lying on the dwarf bushes, greedily basking in the rare sunlight, did not turn over.
"Vomit ......"
A frowning sound broke the calm of the dense forest, only to see a tall figure bending over the trees next to him to vomit, the dim sour vomit poured directly on the bushes, the caterpillar was caught off guard by this sudden "natural disaster", and fell the leaf favored by the sun in embarrassment.
"MMP, this teleportation array is too pitiful, consuming a fragment in exchange for such an unsatisfactory feeling, disgusting......" Summer felt the reversal in his head and the overturning of the river and the sea in his stomach, and immediately scolded the mother of the system directly.
He doesn't plan to try again with this teleportation, not to mention the expensive, the key is that there are such strong side effects after it is expensive, and he swears that he has never been so uncomfortable when he took a taxi with motion sickness and diarrhea.
This sour feeling is simply not human......
It wasn't until the empty stuff in the stomach began to pantothenic acid that the stomach finally felt a little better in summer, but the problem of dizziness still existed.
Look at the moss-covered roots in the distance, where the summer has moved, and then slowly sit down to make yourself feel better.
I don't know how long it took, but Summer finally felt that his body was almost recovering, and then picked up his spear of more than a foot and began to look at the surroundings vigilantly.
"I remember that the system said that the fragments were in the north, and my original location was in Japan, and the location of the teleportation should also be to the north, so what the hell is the place now? It won't be teleported to Lao Maozi's territory, right? ”
Looking at the environment of the deep mountains and old forests around him, he couldn't help but beat the drums in his heart in the summer, I don't know if there will be a tiger popping up, after all, there are more places in the deep mountains and old forests in this era of the Qin Dynasty, and there must be a lot of tigers.
As soon as he thought of these things, Summer couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand to give himself courage.
After regaining some strength, Summer decided that it was better to go first, after all, at this moment, it was necessary to get out of the forest and determine his position before he could make any further plans.
……
At this time, a group of figures in the depths of the dense forest were beating on the surrounding woodland, shrubs and trees with wooden sticks, making a "da-da-da" sound, they were scattered everywhere in sackcloth clothes and carrying baskets, everyone looked seriously at this sparsely shrubbed green woodland, as if looking for something.
After a while, as if he had discovered something, one of them looked happy, and immediately reached out and grabbed the leaf in the bush in front of him, and immediately raised his head and shouted:
"Mallet!"
The sound of a trumpet as loud as a trumpet instantly passed through the dense forest, and the rest of the people in sackcloth immediately looked up at the man.
One of them, an old man in sackcloth, was holding a wooden stick and shouted, "What goods?"
"Four pins!" The young man replied.
"And!" It was as if it had been tacit understood a thousand times, and after the young man finished answering, the rest of the people shouted back. The loud sound amazes the countless flocks of birds that inhabit the forest.
They are shouting about the mountain, as the rules of the ginseng pickers, singing and harmonizing, asking questions and answering, and responding to every call.
Hearing the young man say this, all the people around him immediately walked to his place, and the old man also walked towards him with a wooden stick, and instructed: "The mallet lock, the red rope, the mallet needle, everything is ready." ”
Needless to say, the young man immediately took out a red velvet rope from the basket and wrapped it around a branch, and the other end of the red velvet rope was wrapped around the thin branch of the "mallet", the movement was fast and precise, and the branches and leaves on the mallet were not damaged at all.
After wrapping one end, the young man measured the distance with his arm, and then inserted the "mallet needle" into the mallet at a distance of about a hand and a half arm. Then he began to concoct the same method, and the other side was also inserted with a "mallet needle" wrapped in a red velvet rope.
At this time, everyone came around the young man, and the old man also came over. The young man smiled at the old man and said, "Put your head, Sipinye." ”
The old man nodded, and then said, "Dog, you're doing a good job." But we're not here to look for these ginseng this time, you go around and make a mark, and come back next time to pick it up. ”
When the dog baby heard this, she knew what it meant, and then began to make marks around her, and the rest of the people put down the basket and bowed down to the person, and after bowing, they carried the basket and planned to leave.
"Let's go, let's go." The old man in Mai walked in front and shouted: "Don't worry about the mallet here, time is tight now, otherwise something big will happen when you can't catch the hour." ”
Everyone immediately followed the steps of the old man in Mai and began to walk deeper into this dense forest.
……
"Boss, can we really find that thousand-year-old ginseng?" The dog baby spoke.
"If you can't find it, you have to look for it!" The old man in Mai had a heavy face.
There is no way for the old man to ask for this difficult requirement, even if he has been looking for a mallet all his life, he has found no less than a number of superb mallets such as six-grade mallets, but his ancestors have never seen any thousand-year-old ginseng.
But not long ago, a group of barbarians came to them and said that they would pay tribute to the leader for his birthday, and asked them to offer a thousand-year-old ginseng plant, otherwise they would slaughter the whole village. That's why I brought some good hands into the mountain to look for it.
However, it has been a few days since entering the mountain and there is still nothing to be found, which makes the team led by the old man feel gloomy after all.
"Those dog-day beasts are really insatiable." When a middle-aged man heard the dog baby say this, he also scolded angrily.
"That is, if Lao Tzu was still young, he would have hacked those beasts to death with a knife." Another middle-aged man also chimed in
"Shut up and take a good look around me, now is not the time to talk about this." The old man glared and suppressed the emotions of several people, took a deep breath and then looked up at the sky, and said, "It's getting dark, we have to find a place to rest, it's too dangerous at night." ”
After being reprimanded by the old man, everyone didn't dare to say anything, this old man was the number one person in their village, whether it was morality or looking for mountains, the old man was one by one.
