When we arrived at the rest point leading to the old ginseng ditch, it was still very early, and we thought that we had to build a nest first, but when we came here, there were a lot of nests in the woods, and we went to the nest to see, there was luggage and the like in the nest, but it was very old, and it should not be the present. I looked at these things and asked the king why he didn't take them back, and the king lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and then said, "These people were left in Lao Shengou by the mountain god and did not come back." ”

As soon as I heard it, I knew that those people died in Lao Ginseng Gou in order to collect ginseng, and they all left behind these shacks. We looked sad, we didn't want to live in such a nest, so we went to look elsewhere, walked and walked in the woods and saw a wooden house, at first, I thought I was dazzled, quickly rubbed my eyes, and looked carefully, it was indeed a wooden house, the house was built of logs, and branches and leaves grew on the house, which was a scene in the northeast mountain forest.

I pointed to the wooden house and said happily: "Handle, wooden house, this old ginseng ditch actually lives in people." ”

Wang put his head and said with a smile: "There are no people living in this old ginseng ditch, the wooden house is lived by the people who pick sticks and mallets, such a wooden house is much better than a shack, not only sheltering from the wind and rain, but also preventing wild beasts. ”

When we arrived at the wooden house, we found that the wooden house was tied with a rope made of tree bark, looking at the appearance of the rope, it should not have been opened this year, and at the upwind of the wooden house, there was a stone house made of stones, which I know, it was a mountain temple where the mountain people were built. The king first put the noose on the tree, and tidied up his clothes, and we also put the noose on the tree, and the noose could not be put down on the ground, but could only be inserted into the ground, or leaned against the tree, otherwise the rules would be broken.

After cleaning up, we went to the temple of the mountain god under the leadership of the king, and respectfully kowtowed to the mountain god three times, and the king muttered a few words there, and then we went to open the door, opened the door and looked, there were bags hanging on the wood inside, those things, there were animal skins, rice, and air-dried pork, I have to say this, at that time, the people who broke through the Kanto were particularly united, and they also had special righteousness, and this righteousness was seen in the grass nest in the mountains. In the woods, forests, and grass nests, you can go in without the consent of the owner, and you can use whatever you want. Of course, under normal circumstances, it will not be used in vain, and the next time the mountain people come, they will return the things they use.

There were a few pots in the wooden house, and when we looked at the pots, we were happy that we could finally have a hot meal, and when we saw that it was still early, we wanted to find a place to wash our faces. Looking for the king, there is really a river not far from here, which is the source of the river, and the king also said that this place can lead to the sea. As soon as we heard that there is a river, our hearts are happy, this place in the northeast, there is a river and there are fish, if you can catch a fish, eat some fish, drink some fish soup, it is absolutely delicious, these days are eating dry food and drinking cold water, gluttonous insects have already come up, a strong want to eat meat.

In the house on the wooden board is paved with soft Ula grass, this Ula grass is a good thing, known as one of the three treasures of the Northeast, the Kanto people at that time, like to hammer the Ula grass with a hammer to soften, stuffed in their own leather shoes, the earthen leather shoes are popularly said, it is the cowhide boots that are not divided into left and right feet, the Ula grass has good warmth, moisture absorption is also good, on the Ula grass in the wooden house, after a summer, there is no hair mildew, and it feels very dry.

When we had put our things down, we let the king lead us to the water's edge, and we were led by the old man to the river that he had said that led to the sea, and at the water's edge there were some stones and small shrubs, and the little river was not far away into a swamp full of meadows, and between the meadows was some water, as if those meadows were floating on the water, and below was a small lake, and the shadows of the trees were reflected, which was very beautiful.

When we arrived at the water's edge, we found the source of the water, at the end of the water source, there was a clear spring, and when we arrived at the spring, Tianning lay there and drank water, then the king turned his head and said: "Brother Yu should not drink water like that, this mountain forest is full of unjust souls, you drink water like that, be careful of being choked by the neck of the ghost and press the water." ”

When the junior brother Tianning heard this, he quickly got up, and then drank the water with his hands, we also went to the water's edge, washed his hands first, and drank the mountain spring water with his hands, the mountain spring water is really delicious, and it tastes very sweet, and after drinking the water, the face is clean, and the whole person feels refreshed.

Then the king put his head there and began to lift stones, and I said, "What are you doing with lifting stones?" ”

The king smiled and said, "I'm looking for crickets." ”

I said, "What is a lama?" ”

Wang turned his head and said: "The cricket is the big-headed shrimp, that thing is fragrant when boiled in water, it is our favorite here, especially the cricket tofu, which is really rare and delicious." ”

I said, "Cricket tofu?" Is it made from crickets? ”

Wang Batouda nodded and said: "Yes, the people who can make this dish in the Northeast have an old nose, that is, put the crickets on the grind and grind them, then strain out the juice, put them in the pot to make tofu, and when you drink them, put leek flowers on them, it is really delicious." So saying, the king quickly snatched his head into the water, and then he saw that he had an extra prawn in his hand. When I saw this, my eyes were hot, and I quickly went to lift the stone, rummaging for the cricket under the stone, this one lifted the stone, under the stone, there was really a cricket, the cricket this thing, when I climbed forward, it was slow, compared to the ordinary shrimp is a fool, but when we went to catch it, we were dumbfounded, only to see the cricket roll up, and then quickly retreat in the water, and there was no shadow in a few moments.

We were busy for a long time and didn't catch one, and the king next to him laughed, and after laughing, he said, "You can't catch crickets like this, you have to catch them in the back, otherwise you won't be able to catch them." ”

As he spoke, he taught us how to catch it, and the king put one hand behind the cricket and grabbed it with the other hand, but the cricket retreated, just fell into the trap of the king's head, and obediently went to the king's hand. While laughing, we caught crickets, and so we caught a lot of crickets, enough for us to eat, and we put the crickets we caught, and put them in the bag, and then we went back, and at this moment a group of yellow things came in the distance, and they ran very fast, and the king looked at it, and called out to the roe deer. When the king had finished shouting his head, he took up his gun and shot it into the sky, which startled us, and I said, "What are you shooting at the head?" ”

The king turned his head and said, "You don't know this, these roe deer are being chased by something, if it is a bear or something, we will be in danger, I will shoot first, and the things that chase the roe deer, knowing that there are people here, do not dare to come." ”{

As soon as I heard that this was the case, and we were talking, I heard Luo Xihan say, "Roe deer, roe deer fell one." ”

When we heard this, we hurriedly looked, and sure enough, one fell asleep on the ground, and struggled on the ground a few times before he did not move, and then the king smiled and said, "Today we have a good mouth, and we can eat roe deer meat." ”

I said, "Boss, didn't you forbid me to shoot a roe deer along the way?" It is said that it is unlucky to see blood, how can you eat roe deer meat today? ”

Wang put his head and said with a smile: "The previous unlucky, because we had to shoot blood, but today is different, you see that the roe deer is his own death, we are a good thing, we will go into the old ginseng ditch tomorrow to pick a mallet, today's this is called a good start, I catch crickets, but also because of this, don't be stunned, we hurried over, carry the roe deer to the water's edge, I skinned the roe deer, today we eat roasted roe deer, and stewed roe deer meat." ”

As soon as we heard that there was meat to eat, we didn't mention the joy in our hearts, and hurriedly followed the king to the front, and we went to the front to see, it was a big roe deer, there was a wound on the neck of the roe deer, it seemed that it had been bitten by something just now, and we ran and ran, and were scared to death by the king's head shot, it seemed that this roe deer should have come to our mouths for a mouthful of food, and the five of us carried it to the water's edge.
