The old brother didn't speak immediately this time, but thought for a while, and then asked me, "Just to take you to the foot of Temple Mountain?" ”

As soon as I saw that he was moved, I knew that there was a play, so I hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, if you are afraid, just take me to the foot of Temple Mountain." In fact, you don't have to be afraid, you went there last time, and you stole all the other people's children back, aren't you also doing something? ”

Speaking of this, the elder brother suddenly had a sad face when he fell, and instantly sighed as if he was surging with some anxious heart.

Seeing this, I felt very strange in my heart, and I thought why is this person suddenly full of anxiety? So he asked him, "What's the matter, brother?" Is there something that can't be done? ”

The old brother sighed and said, "Boss, why don't you ...... You can buy my ginseng, you can sell it for a lot of money, and I am not greedy, as long as 5,000 will be done. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was shocked, and said in my heart What is the matter, how can I know that this ginseng will be sold for a lot of money, and this old brother is willing to sell it to me for 5,000 yuan? Could it be that this old brother can't wait for the money to be used? Or is she just a fool?

Of course, I also know that after talking about it for a long time, although this is a bit honest, people are not stupid. He felt strange in his heart, as if this ginseng was a hot potato in his hands.

Thinking of this, I asked him, "Is my brother in a hurry to use the money?" To tell you the truth, if you are waiting for the money, I can lend you 5,000 yuan first, as long as you are willing to take me to Temple Mountain. ”

The elder brother thought for a while, so he said, "Brother, I also see that you are a good person, so let me tell you the truth." My brother also knows that this ginseng is quite valuable, but I just want to make a move as soon as possible, and I don't dare to stay for a long time, even if it is worth selling for 10,000 yuan. ”

"Why?" Hearing this, I was really confused.

"Because...... Because keeping it is a scourge, this is the child of the mountain god, and if the mountain god knows that I took it, he will definitely blame me. The old brother was frightened and frightened When he said this, his face turned pale, as if there was really such a mountain god master.

Hearing this reason, I couldn't help but feel funny in my heart, so I comforted: "Don't be afraid, brother, if you are really worried, then I can accept your ginseng, but I will also tell you plainly, this ginseng is definitely worth more than 10,000 yuan, you will lose." ”

Since I didn't lie to him, if he still plans to sell, I can pick up this leak and make a good profit, why not?

"Cheng, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, as long as there are ten thousand children and eight thousand, you will be satisfied." When the elder brother heard this, he immediately became happy, and pushed the ginseng off the table as he spoke, his face full of excitement.

Seeing this, I nodded in agreement, and I was very happy, who wouldn't be happy to meet such a good thing? This is really a big bargain, as long as I sell it, maybe I will be a rich man, and then find my grandfather and let him have a good old age.

Thinking like this in my heart, of course, I also knew that I only had half a year to live, and even if I had more money, it would be in vain, so I said, "I can buy this ginseng, but what we said before, take me to Temple Mountain......"

Speaking of this, I glanced at him, but I didn't know that he was also happy at this time, so I nodded and said: "Cheng, if you just want me to take you to the foot of Temple Mountain, it's no problem, we don't want your money, anyway, the foot of Temple Mountain is still relatively safe." ”

I was very happy to hear that he was willing to show me the way, and I asked him how far he had to go to the foot of Temple Mountain. He told me that the temple mountain is very big, and if you want to go into the depths, you have to go 180 miles of mountain roads, and I can hear it in a cold sweat, damn it, this mountain is too big, right?

Although I learned that even at the foot of Temple Mountain, it was a hundred and eighty miles from the depths of Temple Mountain, but I was still very happy, as if I had accomplished a great thing. Yes, after all, we know where there is ginseng, and there are people who show us the way, and that's enough.

At that moment, we had a drink, and then I took him upstairs and gave him all my cash in my bag, a total of more than 6,000 yuan. I told him that I would give him 10,000 yuan for this ginseng, and the rest of the money would be given to him after dawn tomorrow when I went to the credit union to withdraw the money. At the same time, if the ginseng is sold for a large price in the future, I will give him a share of one or two percent.

Yes, this ginseng is far more than 10,000 yuan, and he is also an honest and honest person, and I can't deceive him. And I am counting on him to take me to Temple Mountain for this life, and I will not deceive him for this life-saving kindness.

Originally, I asked others to keep the ginseng himself, and then give it to me when the money is cleared tomorrow. But he had already regarded this ginseng as a scourge, how dare he stay for one more night, shook his head and said that it was okay, it was okay, and said that he could trust me, so he handed the ginseng to me.

When I took the ginseng, he was visibly relieved, as if he had a preoccupation. The people were also much more cheerful and began to talk more.

In this way, I also learned his name, his name is Wang Quan, a villager called Wangshi Village, there is more than 30 miles of mountain road from Tianshan Town.

I was very curious about him knowing that he couldn't go to Temple Mountain, but he went to Temple Mountain to dig up this ginseng, so I asked him how he got this ginseng. Because we were also familiar with each other at this time, he let go of the origin of this ginseng.

In Wang Quan's village, a large part of the villagers make a living by collecting ginseng. Every year in August golden autumn, the autumn breeze is cool, when the osmanthus is fragrant, it is the ripening season of ginseng seeds, the ginseng seed oil turns green and red, like a pearl, the golden light is brilliant, it is colorful, it is both beautiful and easy to find, at this time, the villagers in the village go into the mountains to hunt for treasure and dig ginseng began to reach the peak season.

Although Wang Quan is nearly forty years old, he is not a mountain farmer (ginseng picker), but a farmer. Just a month ago, a person in the village picked a ginseng and sold it for a lot of money, so Wang Quan, who has always relied on agriculture for his business, also moved his mind, so he also wanted to go into the mountains to try it.

Just five days ago, Wang Quan also went into the mountains to look for ginseng to make a fortune, and wandered around the mountains for a day, but he didn't even see the shadow of ginseng. Slowly it became dark, and when he wanted to hurry down the mountain to go back, he found that he was unconsciously lost, and the mountain road that usually could have been home in an hour did not see home when it was dark, but walked into the depths of the mountain that he had never been to.

"If you get lost, you must be lost," Wang Quan thought to himself. You should know that there are no formal roads in this primeval forest, and there are a few dirt roads leading to the fields and the town shop where you have to buy daily necessities. Here is to go over the mountains and mountains and walk in the wild forest, and it is common to get lost in the almost primeval forest.

Wang Quan was frightened when he found himself lost, but he couldn't figure out the direction in the dark, and as a result, he walked deeper and deeper until he saw an old temple. He originally thought that there would be people living in the temple, so he wanted to go in and ask what kind of place it was, but when he went in, the temple was empty and there was not even a figure, and the wind was gusting, which scared Wang Quan so much that he turned around and ran.

But isn't this run like a headless fly, which crashes into the dense forest, and finally doesn't know where it is.

The more anxious you are, the more you can't tell the direction, the forest is too big, the trees are too high, and you can't see far, so it's hard to determine where you are now. It wasn't until midnight that I still didn't run out of the depths of the mountain, and I didn't even find the direction home. Finally, Wang Quan found a flat mountain beam (high on the ridge), ate the dry food and wild fruits he picked with him, drank a few sips of the mountain spring, and prepared to make a fire here for the night. (The older generation living in the mountains still has a strong ability to survive in the primeval forest.) ）

Maybe it was the cold and the fire of getting lost, Wang Quan opened his stomach. After solving the physiological problem, he pouted a straw stick and rubbed his buttocks, and if he didn't clean it, he would come back again, and then again.

Hey? These straw sticks are quite smooth and don't pull the butt (wild grass sticks and small tree sticks are rarely smooth)! Squeezed on his pants and pouted a straw stick, it was still quite slippery to touch with his hands, Wang Quan was a little puzzled, the black light was blind and he couldn't see what kind of plant it was, so he took it to the fire to see, and was stunned when he saw it. What kind of straw stick is that, this is clearly a mallet stick!

The smooth stem, palm-like leaves, and a few red ginseng fruits (the seeds of ginseng are the size of soybeans, and the initial green ripens and turns red, but they are not the so-called ginseng fruit fruits eaten now).

As soon as he saw this, although Wang Quan was a beginner (the first time he put the mountain), he also knew that he had made a fortune this time, and looking at the growth of this ginseng, it should still be a big deal! It's no problem to get out and change money, build a house, and buy some furniture, but if it's in good condition, you have to sell it for more money!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran to the place where he had just found the ginseng seedlings with a torch, and when he saw it, it was really a ginseng seedling, but the ginseng seedling was wrapped with a long red line. Seeing this, Wang Quan's heart was cold, because the red thread was tied to the ginseng seedling, which meant that the ginseng belonged to someone else. This is the old rule in the industry of putting mountains, everyone abides by it, for more than a hundred years, it has always been like this, whoever ties people's red ropes is the master, and no one will touch it again.

Wang Quan was very hesitant in his heart, a little lost in his heart, but when he thought about it, this place was deserted, and this rope was so old, obviously it had been a long time, maybe that person couldn't grow up to this place at the beginning, or maybe that person had already been eaten by a fierce beast?

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Quan finally went to move, but as soon as his hand touched, the red rope broke and became a pink girl, obviously this red rope has been here for some years. Seeing this, Wang Quan knew that this ginseng was ownerless, and it was obviously impossible for the previous owner to come again, so he took out the ginseng.

As the saying goes, ginseng is "seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasure", this ginseng is hundreds of years old, not only big, but also very strange shape, and people look the same, there are noses and eyes, arms and legs, Wang Quan is ecstatic.

I couldn't sleep at the moment, so I found my way home in the dark, and I ran into it like this, and finally he really touched it home. Of course, it was already two days later when I got home.
