Chapter 85: Snow Mountain
I have heard in the past, wild ginseng this thing is grass for ten years, a hundred years for treasure, if after a few hundred years, it will become fine, running all over the ground, the one in front of me, in the cold winter can also see the red and green new fruit shoots, obviously after thousands of years, has already grown into a "real body", only by its own essence can withstand the cold winter and heat. In this regard, Mo Ye did find a "treasure" this time!
Mo Ye knelt in the snow with "poof", kowtowed violently, and the cannon wanted to drag him, but he was pulled to the ground by Mo Ye, "Mountain cannon, worship the mountain god!" Please old ginseng ancestors! β
I know that the usual ginseng picking link is not like this, that is the need to shout to tie the red rope, as a result, Mo Ye changed his technique, but it also shows that this time is extraordinary, sure enough, Mo Ye kowtowed dozens of times in a row, and the blood on his forehead was broken before stopping, he said that such an old ginseng ancestor, can no longer use the red rope to please, must see the "live red", so as to tie the aura of the old ginseng......
I said Mo Ye, you should keep everything simple, those mercenaries can catch up at any time, and when the time comes, give us a surprise, there are too many "live red", and the old ginseng ancestor will not have the stomach to digest it.
Mo Ye bowed a few more times before standing up, and I was in a hurry when I saw it, but fortunately, the "colonel" carried a lot of things, so they walked slowly, and they were still far away from us.
Mo Ye didn't plan to dig out the "Old Ginseng Ancestor", in other words, he didn't have time to dig it now, even if there was no enemy pursuit at the bottom of the mountain, he couldn't get the mountain ginseng out of the frozen soil intact - the mountain ginseng is expensive in its integrity, and the people who really collect it, let alone break a little skin and run away from the pulp, even if they break a thin hair, they don't want it anymore, which is equivalent to a big discount in quality, and there is no difference between the missing corners of precious stamps. Therefore, the best time to harvest ginseng is never in winter......
But Mo Ye said that there is a winter method for picking ginseng in winter, they will use a traditional "hot soil method" to heat the frozen soil, and the maximum range will even expand to more than a dozen cubic meters, and when the frozen soil is hot, the snow covered on it will melt almost away, seeping into the soil, and it can nourish the old ginseng.
"But this time I really don't have that much time, when we find a way to get rid of those foreigners, let's come back and work hard, and we must invite a 'Mountain Ginseng Ancestor' who is more valuable than the one in Yamashita Village!" Mo Ye said, his eyes still staring at the branches of ginseng, "How many people, what's the matter?" I don't do what I say, this time I have told everyone the truth, or that sentence, let's share the blessings! β
Rather reluctantly, he buried the ginseng branch in the snow again, made a mark, and then continued with the group, and the sound of the mercenaries could already be heard at the bottom of the hillside, and we quickened our pace again, intending to go around to the sunny slope before they caught up, where there was no other mountain to shelter us, and when the wind and snow poured down, it could be used as cover for us.
The "Colonel" also seemed to be aware of our intentions, and led the people to chase faster and faster, and in an instant I could already see the top of their heads, I was a little anxious, and asked Mo Ye, "Will they cause an avalanche when they shoot?" β
Mo Ye said no, although there is snow on the mountain, the stock is too small to cause such a big momentum.
I asked again, is there any way we can make a "snow mill" as well?
This time it was He Aijuan who answered, she said, there should be no possibility, the formation of that kind of natural phenomenon itself is rare in a century.
I wanted to ask another question, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the wind and snow poured in, and we had gone around to the sunny side of the mountain, and the storm was blowing in with a cry......
At this moment, walking in a blizzard has two advantages, one is that the vision is extremely poor, and you can dodge the direct fire of the enemy behind you; The second is that the footprints we step on will soon be filled by the blizzard, and when the wind blows, there will be no trace left at all, and it will be even more difficult for them to track...... But the disadvantages are even more, we are exposed to the worst weather in the north, in addition to danger, it is still dangerous!
Mo Ye suggested that we use ropes to string each other, so that even if someone falls, everyone can work together to rescue him, fortunately Liang Fang's bag has a rope, he threw it over to us, suddenly a gust of wind hit, Liang Fang's backpack fell off his shoulder, he reached out to grab it, his feet slipped, the whole person plunged into the snow, began to slide down rapidly, the rope on his body was not fastened, and when he was about to slide to the edge of a cliff, a big hand grabbed him......
Even I didn't expect that it was the artillery battle that saved him, Liang Fang was lying in the snow "whirring" and panting, and his shock was at first, so he thanked the artillery again and again, and the artillery didn't look at him, and groped forward......
After Liang Fang this time, we dare not be careless, the body is almost attached to the mountain wall, the foot is snow, the snow is ice, once stepping on the air, the whole person will follow the slide, ten meters below is a large cliff, the ice falls down, there is no echo for half a day, you can see how deep the cliff is.
I regret it a little now, I shouldn't have led those mercenaries to this mountain, they are uncomfortable, but we are not happy, why bother to find something wrong with ourselves...... But after thinking about it, wasn't the original intention at that time to lead them away from the village, besides, Old Man Wei said that this mountain was regarded by them as a "sacred mountain", "Snow River", "Goddess Manifestation" and other things are also here, and according to the coordinates, the "underground ancient city" we encountered before is also near here, maybe we can find the entrance again, let the foreign mercenaries and the "boulder" monster fight, anyway, their weapons are advanced, ammunition is sufficient, if they get it right, they can really help us get rid of a trouble, if we don't get it right, we will lose both, We can also take advantage of the fisherman's profit......
Well, I may be too optimistic to think that in this case, we may have fallen into the abyss and broken bones before the "colonels" and they catch up.
Go further, the road under your feet is narrower, and the slope is getting steeper and steeper, there are not many places to get your feet, the most terrible thing is that the mountain wall has formed a thick layer of ice, we are not only slippery under our feet, but also have nowhere to focus on our hands, the mountain wall is like a mirror, spitting and rubbing, you can see a few of your eyebrows.
The black pimple complained, "What a mountain, what kind of ice?"
He Aijuan didn't forget to give him science popularization at this time, "This shows that my speculation is not wrong, this mountain is indeed an active volcano, and when there is underground movement, heat will be generated, and the snow on the mountain will melt as a result...... When the movement stops, the snow freezes again, and it gets thicker and thicker over time......
"Alright, don't give me any more lessonsβ" said the black pimple, "one by one, to put it bluntly, isn't it an earthquake, we're on the mountain now, do you think it's a good idea?" β
As soon as the words fell, the whole mountain shook......
