Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Mountain God's Old Leader

Walking around the market, I really noticed one or two standing in the crowd shouting "sell mallets". However, when I went to inquire about it, I learned that the goods in their hands were just ordinary ginseng. Of course, I didn't really come to buy ginseng, I just wanted to inquire about ginseng. So, when I asked them if they had ever seen a hundred years old ginseng, they shook their heads into a rattle, claiming that they had never seen them in their lives.

Obviously, it is very difficult for the places they have been to have thousand-year-old ginseng, because there is no century-old ginseng, let alone thousand-year-old ginseng?

Before I knew it, the sun had gone west, and the people who were rushing back to the market, because this was not a city, and when it was dark, no one would take them to wander around the market in this small town.

I sighed in my heart, it looks like a waste today, this is really disturbing. Mrs. Chang once said that I only have half a year, and as soon as half a year passes, I will be poisoned, and if there is no thousand-year-old ginseng to save my life, it will really be better to live than to die. Now that I think about it, it's been almost half a month since I came out, but I don't even have a clue, and the more I think about it, the more depressed I become. In the end, I couldn't find it anymore, so I lit a cigarette, cursed to myself, and walked to the guest house.

Sometimes fate is like this, I should have met it, it was I who met it.

Just when I turned around and was about to go back to the hotel, I had only walked a few steps, and suddenly a man stabbed me with his finger in the back, I thought it was a thief, and I hurriedly covered my pocket and turned around to see that it was an honest-looking mountain brother, about forty years old, wearing rustic clothes, and some mud on his clothes, and he looked like he had just come down from the mountains. At this time, this old brother is looking at me with blank eyes, and he seems to be a hard-working person.

This brother doesn't look like a bad guy and thief, because I can see that honest face accurately, is he looking for me to ask for directions? But I vetoed it right away, people look like people from the local mountains, where might they ask me for directions, you must know that I look like a foreigner in this dress. I looked at this man strangely, so I asked, "What are you doing?"

The old brother first looked around sneakily, and although it was almost dusk, there were still some pedestrians on the street who had not dispersed, so he whispered to me: "The old man of the mountain god, get a black ticket!"

As soon as I heard it, what did I say about the old man of the mountain god, what kind of black ticket, what the hell is this? The heart said that this old brother Mo can't be a fool or something, right? Thinking of this, I ignored him and continued to walk.

When the old brother saw that I ignored him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was afraid that I didn't hear his words clearly, so he ran up and said: The mountain god is the old man, and he has a black ticket, or not?

I was in a bad mood, thinking that my life would not live for a few months, and I was a little sad at this time, but at this time, a person came to ask me if I wanted a black ticket, and said something that I didn't understand at all, and I wanted to get angry at the moment, so I said to him: I don't want any black tickets, go elsewhere.

The other party obviously didn't expect me to get angry, so he looked at me in a daze, scratched his head and left.

I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, why did I meet such a strange person? Then I glanced behind me to make sure he wasn't following me anymore, and I was relieved to go to the inn.

While walking, I have been very depressed in my heart. The old brother I met just now looked like an authentic farmer, and he didn't look like a bad person, and I didn't know him well, so what did he say when he came over? Do you want to beg for money? But looking at him like that, although he wears a rustic style, but in such a small place in the mountains, he also looks like the kind of begging person?

And what he said, what kind of mountain god is the old leader, what is the black ticket, what do these mean? I understand that the mountain god may refer to a god such as the mountain god and the land lord, but what does the old boss mean? In particular, what is the purpose of black tickets? Could it be that the person asked me to exchange for counterfeit money?

Yes, it should be exchanged for counterfeit money. I've met this kind of person in the city before, and when they see you alone, they will come to you and ask you if you want a fake ticket, and a hundred real tickets can be exchanged for a thousand fake tickets. Although I know that they are fake money, there will still be people who trade with them because of greed, maybe that person just now is this kind of person.

Thinking like this, before I knew it, I was back at the hotel. At this time, the proprietress of the inn saw that I was not in a good mood, so as soon as I entered the store, she smiled at me and said, "Yo, didn't the little brother find the person who sells ginseng?" Look at your sad face. ”

I nodded and smiled. Originally, I didn't want to say more to her, but when I saw the proprietress smiling and looking very enthusiastic, I asked the proprietress, and I said: "Boss, ask you something, there is a sentence in your Hubei dialect called 'the old man of the mountain god, the black ticket', do you know what it means?" ”

"The old man of the mountain god, a black ticket?" The proprietress read a sentence, then thought for a while, and then said to me, "Little brother, isn't this the jargon of selling ginseng?" Looks like you've found someone selling ginseng, what's wrong? Looking at your expression, is it because the other party's goods are not good? Or is the price too high? ”

"Huh? Is this the jargon in selling ginseng? This stunned me, and I said to myself, could it be that the old brother just now saw that I was looking for ginseng, so he came to ask me if I wanted it?

Seeing my surprised look, the proprietress couldn't help frowning and said, "Little brother, don't you know the meaning of this sentence?" ”

"I don't know, I've heard it for the first time." I nodded, thinking that the person just now was selling ginseng, so I hurriedly asked her: "Boss, what does this sentence 'the mountain god old boss, black ticket' mean?" ”

The proprietress said: "This is the jargon in the ginseng industry, the old head of the mountain god, talking about the mountain god in the Shennongjia Mountain, the black ticket, which means the stolen ginseng." The other party is asking you, do you want the stolen ginseng? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, I was surprised and surprised, I didn't expect that the other party would be a thief who stole ginseng and sold it, and I didn't expect that the person just now would have spiritual ginseng in his hand. You have to know the spirit ginseng, but it has to be hundreds of years before it can be called a spirit ginseng.

However, after listening to the words of the proprietress, I still have a little doubt in my heart, as the saying goes, ginseng is "seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasure", and a hundred years old ginseng is even more difficult to meet, and ginseng must be 100 years old to be called ginseng, this kind of ginseng is generally not only large, the shape will also grow very strange, Gu said that because of the aura, the ginseng will look the same as a person, with a nose and eyes, arms and legs.
