The next day, Li Ziming personally drove the car and sent Li Laohan and everyone to his home.

Mr. Li's home sits behind a mountain forest, in a three-room wooden house. The old man is a lonely old man, and only the old man and two wolf dogs live here.

In front of the house, there is a vegetable garden opened by the old man. The weather in the Northeast is extremely cold, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetables, and the people of the Northeast only plant some cabbage, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes and other easy-to-take care vegetables, and other dishes that are difficult to serve are all imported from the outside. Although it saves trouble, due to the increase in transportation, insurance and other costs, the price of vegetables shipped to the local area is often three or five times higher than that of the place of origin.

Although this makes many people feel pain in their flesh, they can only admit to slaughter if they want to eat it.

Of course, Northeast people still eat meat, vegetables are just a way to change taste, since it is so expensive, it is better to eat meat.

Unexpectedly, Li Laohan still maintains the habit of planting vegetables when he is old. Moreover, Zhao Yuankang was born in North China, his home is in the countryside, and he has often farmed in the fields since he was a child, and he can see at a glance that the greenhouse used by Li Laohan is the greenhouse technology in the north.

The greenhouse is about eight meters long, three meters wide and two meters and a half meters high, and is surrounded by adobe walls on the left and right, with a row of straw curtains hanging from the top to cover the plastic tarpaulin on the sunny side.

"My uncle likes to fiddle with these field work, which grows some cucumbers, beans, and carrots, but after all, he is older, and he can do the work of rolling the curtains and putting the curtains alone, and we don't worry about letting him do it, so we hired two husband and wife workers to come over every morning and evening to help him put away the straw curtains and pick up the vegetables in the greenhouse." Li Ziming pointed to the greenhouse and said.

Li Laohan put his hands behind his back and smiled and lifted an opening on the left side to invite everyone to come in and visit.

In this land of ice and snow, it takes a lot of thought to have a fertile soil to breed fresh vegetables, and from this point of view, this old man is a person who understands life, which naturally arouses everyone's interest.

Sure enough, there was already a couple busy in the greenhouse, the man was not tall, but he was quite strong and honest, and he only squeezed out a smile. The woman was slightly fat, but she was quite quick-cut, and she was much more easy-going, and took the initiative to greet the old man and Li Ziming, and it seemed that she was in charge at home.

There is no charcoal stove in the greenhouse, and there are even more than ten degrees. In addition, there are vents to keep the air flowing in the greenhouse.

"Hey, uncle, it's normal not to have a stove over there, it's so cold in the Northeast, you don't need a stove, you can be so warm, what's the secret?" Zhao Yuankang was quite surprised, so he took the opportunity to ask.

"Look here." The old man pointed to the raised ditches on the ground.

"A large amount of straw is placed in this ditch, and a special microbial agent is placed on it, which is covered with a thin layer of soil, and then watered thoroughly, so that as the straw and the microbial agent interact and decompose, heat and carbon dioxide will be released, which can not only ensure photosynthesis and metabolism, but also provide sufficient temperature."

The old man looked proud, like a senior agricultural expert, teaching everyone his experience, which had to make people admire.

It's really good to live and learn, such a professional planting skill, this septuagenarian will too.

"And I am still prepared to resist the cold winter, see these two earthen walls, there are heating pipes in them, the weather reaches a certain temperature, when the straw differentiation can not increase enough heat in time, I can heat to solve the temperature problem, and there is no need to worry about causing carbon dioxide poisoning."

The old man introduced another experience, which made Zhao Yuankang amazed, there is really an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this old man said casually, he was full of infinite wisdom, it seems that he invited him out of the mountain this time, and he was looking for the right person.

After everyone visited the greenhouse, they followed Li Laohan to three wooden houses, one in the middle was the old man's living room, and the living room with the guests. The first room on the left is used as a kitchen and utility room, and the first room on the right is used as a reserved guest room.

Although the furnishings in the house are simple and old, they are neat and orderly, which shows that the elderly are very particular and regular in their daily life.

The old man instructed Li Ziming to make tea for guests, he beckoned to Zhao Yuankang, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xiaoyou, accompany the old man to the mountain for a walk!" ”

Zhao Yuankang's heart moved, this old man has been in the world for a long time, and he must see that he is the leader of this mountain, and everything is decided by him, so he naturally wants to talk to him in detail.

It's just that I don't know what Li Laohan's intention is to take him to the back mountain, but he can't choose, so he has to follow the old man to the back of the house, and walk along a small path to a small hillside.

When he had gone up the hill, the old man stopped. Zhao Yuankang looked around, the terrain here is condescending, and there is a great posture of seeing the mountains and small mountains, but further away, the mountains and forests are undulating, and this hill is covered.

"Zhao Xiaoyou, don't look at the old man who has lived in the mountains for a long time, but I am not a stupid person, please tell me the truth about the purpose of this trip to Changbai Mountain, I am not timid and afraid, but I must be honest with each other, otherwise, I will not be able to go out of the mountain."

The old man's voice was not high, but it implied undoubted majesty, and a pair of eagle eyes turned around, making Zhao Yuankang stunned in his heart, and he didn't dare to deceive with lies.

"Uncle, don't be angry, I told my cousin that I was going to the mountain to learn about the mountain goods and medicinal materials, but I just didn't want to attract attention, since you want to hear the truth, then you don't have to hide it. I'm here to find a treasure, the Lightning Strike Wood. He told the truth that if he wanted to invite someone out of the mountain, he had to do it.

"Lightning strikes wood? That's the spiritual root of heaven and earth! It was caused by the thunder of the wood-based spiritual creatures. It is not easy for ordinary people to obtain. The old man's face was gloomy.

"As for the method of taking lightning to strike wood, don't worry, uncle, you saw the bearded man I brought. He is a practitioner with Dao Dharma, and he has his own hands to complete these techniques. All you need to do is help us find out where the lightning strike is. ”

He assured the old man that there was no other danger, no other cumbersome right and wrong, and hoped that the old man would be able to go out of the mountain to help.

"Where are you at this time?" The old man ignored his words and asked this sentence inexplicably, which made him a little stunned.

"This ...... Near the Spark Forest Farm. He replied.

"How far is it from the Changbai Mountain area? How many mountains are there in Changbai Mountain? Do you know how big Changbai Mountain is? ”

The old man suddenly raised his voice, and asked him repeatedly, which overwhelmed him and made him a little speechless.

Indeed, his knowledge of Changbai Mountain is only temporary, and he only knows that Changbai Mountain, located in Antu County, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, and Fusong County, Baishan City, is the boundary mountain between China and North Korea, one of the top ten famous mountains in China, and is known as the first mountain in the east.

It is a dormant volcano, the main peak in China, Baitou Peak, the white rock is exposed in summer, the snow is white in winter, and it is always white all year round, Tianchi is the most famous landscape of Changbai Mountain.

"The kid is ignorant, please ask the old man for advice." He lowered his posture and humbly asked the old man for advice.

"This Changbai Mountain, with an area of thousands of miles, hides countless treasures, and is an inexhaustible natural medicine storehouse." When the old man heard that he was full of sincerity, his tone softened.

"The ancients named Changbai, which has the beautiful meaning of keeping each other and going to the white head, so it can be said that Changbai Mountain is also a romantic place for young people to pursue happiness."

This deep meaning of Changbai Mountain is something that Zhao Yuankang did not understand, but he didn't expect this cold mountain range to have such a lingering meaning, which couldn't help but make him have some bizarre ideas.

"How big Changbai Mountain is, that's not something you can understand by looking at the map, but I've come here step by step, just like Xinghuo, there are no less than a hundred, not to mention the inaccessible primeval forest. If you want to find a piece of wood in such a large area, hehe, you look too old. ”

"Please rest easy, my trip is not a whim, but with the guidance of the gods, that mage also has some means to assist in the investigation, you just need to do what you can help, I will never force you."

He bowed rudely, looking extremely solemn. The old man looked ahead, silent for a long time, and the breeze blew, blowing up the wisps of white hair.

Although he said it lightly, there were many taboos in the mountains to explore treasures, and it was only necessary to have such experienced and prestigious locals to avoid the attacks of wild beasts and poisonous insects, and to avoid the traps of hunters. Otherwise, if they rush into the mountains, they are likely to be killed by mistake, and then the gains really outweigh the losses.

"What are you using this lightning strike wood for?" The old man asked awe-inspiringly.

"I don't hide it, I really don't know what this treasure is for, it's just a guide of fate, I collect a few treasures and open a mysterious place that can help the world and save the people. Although I dare not say that I have such a big heart, I want to be worthy of my heart, and I have no regrets about dying. He said firmly.

"Okay, if young people can have such a mind, I will be impressed, and I will move my muscles and bones and accompany you on a trip." The old man praised loudly and promised him to go out of the mountain.

One old and one young, accompanied by the mountain breeze, returned together, so that a hanging heart such as Tonghai and Gao Feng finally fell.
