Chapter Eighty-Six: The Best Ginseng
Seeing these beasts flying over, he jumped up quietly and vigorously, reached out and grabbed a vine hanging from the tree, and swung it out with all his might.
The jackals that flew up towards Tranquility fell off the cliff in an instant. The remaining five or six jackals stood on the edge of the cliff, howling anxiously and angrily at their companions who had fallen off the cliff and the silence swinging in the air.
Quietly clutching the vines in mid-air, she looked around and saw that there was only one way, and it was blocked by these animals. Quiet is hungry now, and she has no chance of winning against these animals in this situation. Quietly trying to check the place conducive to his escape, he suddenly found that five or six meters below the cliff, there was a big tree, I don't know how many years it had grown, and the branch power stretched out far away, like a big bed hanging in the air.
Quietly and vigorously, he jumped to the big tree under the cliff, and landed right on this big tree. The jackals on the cliff let out a dry and angry roar, and after hovering on the top of the cliff for a while, they left one after another.
At this time, Quiet looked in front of him, and it turned out that the big tree did not grow in the crevices of the rocks, but that there was a small platform recessed in the cliff, and the roots of the tree grew on the platform.
The platform looks like it is six or seven square meters, there are many weeds growing on the ground, some unknown small wildflowers, and there are two small nests on the stone wall on one side, I guess it is a bird's nest.
Near the roots of the tree, something attracts the quiet gaze. The brown stem was divided into five or six branches, and at the top was a small red flower, and among the stamens was a radish seed-sized with shiny red seeds. This... Is it ginseng?
Quiet dug up two small ginseng trees in the mountain last time, but none of them produced seeds, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing. She was trying to find one or two of them, but she met her, and she wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. Quiet sighed once again that she was lucky, perhaps, this is the benefit that God gave her as a traverser.
Quietly knew the rules of this mountain picking, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting at the ginseng plants, "Bang mallet!" ”
"How many leaves?"
"Six pins!"
Deaf, shouting the mountain, picking up the mountain, I am all busy by myself. Quiet took out a red rope from her waist and tied the largest and tallest one here. This is just the beginning, little by little, I started digging these ginseng.
This digging ginseng is a delicate job, and the strength of the hands is heavy, and it is easy to cut the ginseng and break the ginseng whiskers. Sometimes, it takes half a day, or even a day or two, to dig out a ginseng.
Quiet and not in a hurry, he used a dagger to dig up the dirt on the periphery, and then picked it up little by little with his hands. When it was getting dark, a ginseng the size of a child's arm was quietly raised. This ginseng is like a doll, I think it must have been around for thousands of years, right? Thinking of his own luck against the sky, he was very grateful to God in his heart.
Quiet this night, I just slept against the stone wall. As soon as it was dawn, she woke up quietly, and she was awakened by hunger. opened his eyes, stood up and moved his muscles and bones, ignoring anything else, and quietly continued to compete with the rest of the ginseng.
This small piece of ginseng, quietly and carefully counted, there are a total of ten large and small ones. It was the size of the one that I dug up yesterday, and there were only one of them, and three of them were smaller than the others, and the rest were much smaller, but they were also many, much bigger than the two plants that Jing Jing picked last time.
However, this mountain mining met the mallet, which is particular, that is, the big is big and the small is left. We can't cut off the roots at once, but we must leave a chance for future generations. Besides, this ginseng is hard to find, so Jing Jing planned to dig up the four largest plants, and left the rest untouched, leaving them to continue to grow here. Be a person, you can't be too greedy, she already has four strains of top-quality ginseng, it's time to be content, and leave the rest to those who are destined!
It wasn't until noon on the third day that Jing Jing dug out the other three, these four ginseng plants are not shallow, the ginseng is as white as jade, the head, neck, body, two legs, it looks like a white and chubby little doll.
Jing Jing put the ginseng in soft grass, wrapped it in a cloth bag and put it in the back basket, put her old jacket on it, and tied it with hemp rope a few times, and after making sure that it would not fall out, she put the back basket on her back and climbed up the cliff.
In the past two days, she dug ginseng on this platform under the cliff, and she came up once in the middle of the quiet, and she came up to find food and water. In her previous life, when she was training, climbing with bare hands was not a problem for quiet at all, but now this distance from the top of the cliff is only five or six meters high, and she has a dagger in her hand, so it is not too easy to climb up. After coming up the last time, she not only roasted pheasants to fill her stomach, but when she was looking for water, she saw a way down the mountain, and she would not get lost again today.
A quarter of an hour later, the person was already standing on the top of the cliff unharmed, quietly looking down the cliff, only to see the branches sticking out, but indeed not to see the small platform, she thought, this ginseng must also be destined to be obtained!
I have been in the mountain for three days, and I am afraid that Father Fang and Mother Fang have long been anxious and worried, so the pace of quietly walking down the mountain is much faster than before.
By the time we reached the bottom of the mountain, the sun was already in the west. Father Fang was looking at the foot of the mountain at this time, and when he saw that he had come down from the mountain quietly and unharmed, he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked up quickly.
"Miss, what's going on these days? My wife and I are worried, and if you don't come back today, I'll ask someone to go up the mountain tomorrow to look for you. Father Fang looked at it quietly and said
Feeling Daddy Fang's concern, he smiled quietly, "I'm worried about you and Mother Fang, I picked a ginseng plant in the mountain, so I came back late." These ginseng Jing didn't plan to tell others, if these elixirs were known by people with bad intentions in their hands, it was very likely to bring blood and light to their own family. After all, she went up the mountain for three or four days, and she didn't hunt big prey, and when she came back, some people inevitably guessed what kind of treasure she had, and this small ginseng was just used to block the mouth of the people.
Therefore, before meeting Daddy Fang at the bottom of the mountain, she had already shown this ginseng to the people in the village who went up the mountain to collect firewood, although the villagers sighed that the quiet luck was good, but it was not surprising, after all, there were not a few people who picked ginseng on this Daqing Mountain, and the quiet plant could only be regarded as middle and upper-grade, and it would not attract much attention. For the villagers, the wolf and the tiger that this little man had fought before participating in the quiet were simply too far apart. This is also the reason why she dug up a small ginseng tree quietly, she was afraid that others would suspect that she still carried a basket of dried fungus on the mountain, saying that Jiayue likes to eat this, so she deliberately went into the mountain to pick it, so she perfectly covered up the ginseng thing.
