When we came out of the cave, there were still wild ginseng branches on both sides of the road.

Although the atmosphere was a little solemn, when he saw these ginsengs, Brother Haojie still stopped, and said to me and Lan Yue: "Yueyue, Xiaohe, since we have come here, we can meet real life, I think it is also a kind of fate, so let's each pull out a ginseng back in case of emergency." ”

I nodded, in fact, I also have this intention, you can't be too greedy, originally I also planned to dig only one, because this thing will be kept in the future when you get old or encounter any problems, the patient must be able to prolong life after eating.

But digging ginseng is also a lot of exquisiteness, I grew up on Changbai Mountain, so I have heard a lot of rumors about digging ginseng.

People who dig ginseng are generally called "herding mountains".

There are many customs in the mountains, and the people who go into the mountains to dig ginseng for the first time are called "the first Lang", and when they go into the mountains to dig ginseng, they all go in pairs.

In a large group of mountain people, there must be three main characters, one is the head, commonly known as the head stick; There are also pressure teams, commonly known as side sticks; the other is the one that serves the pot; Generally, these three people form a "team", and of course the leader is the number one.

A long time ago, it was necessary to stay in the mountains for four or five months when the mountain was released, going up the mountain when the hoe was "hanging" and going down the mountain when the frost was dry.

The ginseng leader must not only be respected and prestigious, but also watch the mountain scenery and know where there is ginseng.

When putting the mountain, it is forbidden to bring meat, oil and honey, because it is easy to lure black bears with honey, black bears are not afraid of fire, and they will come when they smell honey from a distance, and fish with meat will attract fierce beasts. The best food items are large pancakes and millet.

Ginseng gang to go up the mountain to row sticks, meaning that under the command of the head, everyone lined up in a horizontal row, each person was far away from a rope of sticks, one stick head pressed a stick head, like combing hair to go forward while pulling grass to find ginseng.

Put your head on the top and the side stick on the bottom. When arranging sticks, it is not allowed to speak casually, but to speak auspicious words, it is necessary to speak on the mallet

When you find ginseng, you have to shout "mallet"

When ginseng is found, it is necessary to "shout the mountain", that is, shout "mallet" loudly, and the rest of the people hear that they are going to pick up the mountain, "What goods?" Those who find ginseng should say, "Big mountain goods", "How many leaves?" At this time, the discoverer saw the last few leaves and said a few leaves, and could not shout "deceitful mountain".

After shouting the mountain and connecting the mountain, the ginseng head will immediately hold the red head rope (mallet lock) to tie the ginseng stem, and then use two forks to put the stick or silver chopsticks on the beam, and tie the red head rope to the beam, so that the ginseng will not be injured when digging.

Digging ginseng, the mountain holder is called "lifting" the mallet. The ginseng may not be large, but a square meter needs to be dug to prevent damage to the ginseng, and the rest of the people are waiting for the head fan and light a cigarette.

After the ginseng is dug up, it needs to be beaten with a mallet bun.

Then on a nearby red pine tree, "make a sign", that is, use an axe to cut the mark, the upper left corner of the mark is to count the number of people, and the right side of the leaf is cut a few marks. This is to tell future generations that there is a big stick mallet here, and you can continue to find ginseng that was not unearthed in that year.

For example, you need to tie a red rope to prevent wild ginseng from running, but I heard that this is not the case, but every rhizome of ginseng is very precious, but at the same time they are also very fragile, so it is not something that can be done in a day to dig up a complete ginseng.

Uh, it's far away......

After discussing with Brother Haojie, we came to the side of the road, and looking at this dense ginseng forest, I still couldn't help but beat wildly.

At this moment, I could only hear the rustling sound of this piece of ginseng in front of me, the light here is very soft, so there is no need to turn on the light, but I looked around and found nothing unusual......

"Brother Xiaohe, look at ......" At this moment, Lan Yue pointed to the ginseng in front of him and said excitedly to me.

"Hmm......" Following Lan Yue's gaze, I looked forward, only to find that there was nothing in front of me except this piece of ginseng......

After Brother Haojie heard Lan Yue's words, he couldn't help but walk over from the other side.

Seeing that we were at a loss, Lan Yue's eyes widened, and she said curiously, "Can't you see?" ”

Hearing Lan Yue say this, Brother Haojie and I looked at each other, and didn't know how to answer, could it be that this little girl had hysteria?

There was nothing in front of us except this rustling ginseng!

And my eyes are the same as Brother Haojie, if there is really anything weird, it is impossible not to see it!

Seeing that we were still stunned, Lan Yue sighed: "Didn't you see it? This piece of ginseng, each ginseng has a doll's face on it, they are so cute, and they are smiling at us now......"

Lan Yue said as she looked at the ginseng at her feet, and a smile that only a girl had on her face.

But when I heard this, I felt a chill run down my back......

Ginseng smiled......

This TM is not a literary film, but a horror film!

Brother Haojie on the side of "this ......" was also stunned, at this time, we don't know whether to continue digging ginseng, if what Lan Yue said is true, then these ginseng are definitely refined!

If this kind of thing is placed in another place, then I definitely don't believe it, those artificial ginseng outside, if you put it for a hundred years, it will still be a "mallet." ”

But it's different here, first of all, this is the depths of the Changbai Mountains, the center of the dragon vein, and secondly, ginseng is originally very aura, called "goblins", plus they have always lived here, and they have not been infected by the worldly qi here, even if they become essences, it is not unusual.

"Inside, why don't we dig it up and go back?" Looking at Brother Haojie, I asked.

Brother Haojie glanced at me when he heard this, and then nodded slowly, this kind of product of nature, we still don't mess with it.

"Huh...... What did you say? Just when I was discussing with Brother Haojie in a whisper, Lan Yue on the side was naturally muttering to herself with excitement.

Lan Yue's behavior was so weird that I didn't cautiously ask, "Yueyue, who are you talking to?" ”

Who knew that Lan Yue looked at me happily when she heard this: "I'm talking to this ginseng doll, it said that it wants to go with us, and wants to go out and see the outside world......"

After hearing Lan Yue's answer, I was shocked, and Brother Haojie was also a little in an uproar.

But Lan Yue didn't care about our reactions, but asked: "Brother Haojie, Brother Xiaohe, you see how cute this ginseng doll is, it wants to go out with us, let's take it with us......"

The muscles in my face twitched, and after five seconds, I slowly replied: "Okay, okay, it's good if you're happy......" Brother Haojie behind him also nodded.

Yes, it's all this time, what can we say, do you dare not agree? The ginseng is all fine!
