Chapter 156: The Poison of the Human Heart

Those small flowers are very beautiful, red stamens, white petals, although the flowers are small, but there are three layers, layered, very beautiful.

"This is ......" I looked at Yin Shengyao in surprise, and he said calmly: "This is Sanjiuhua, and I found them here back then." After Darkfire died, I didn't take them away, but put them in a jade box and buried them next to Darkfire. ”

I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why did you give it to me?" I didn't answer and asked cautiously.

"You want to refine an elixir that boosts your spiritual power, right?" He said, "Black Spider Fruit and Yuehua Grass are all medicines that improve mental power, and so are these Sanjiu Flowers. I can help you find the medicinal materials you want, as long as you give me half of the pills in one furnace. ”

That's exactly what he had in mind.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally took the Sanjiu flower and said, "Okay." ”

He smiled and said, "Get in the car." ”

For some reason, I think he's in a much better mood.

After another half a day's drive, at the setting sun, we finally arrived at the peak of the mountain with moongrass and grass.

The mountain road was rugged, and we couldn't drive, so we walked all the way, only to find that there were people on the mountain, and there were more than one.

He glanced at me, and we hid ourselves in the woods.

That's two groups of ginseng diggers, the winter ginseng diggers, are all traveling in groups, most of them are fellow villagers in the same place, if you encounter something, you can also have a response.

In this Changbai Mountain, what is really terrifying is not the beast and the cold, but the human heart.

"This ginseng was discovered first." A group of humanitarians with a Southwestern accent.

"You found out first?" The other group, a group of people with southeastern accents, sneered, "Didn't you see that ginseng with a red thread tied on it?" ”

Legend has it that ginseng is alive, and ginseng of a high age can walk and run, if a ginseng tree is found and cannot be dug up at that time, a red thread must be tied to it, and if the ginseng runs, it can be found by following the red thread.

In fact, only ginseng that is more than 1,000 years old can become essence, and it can only run after becoming essence, and it is impossible for ordinary ginseng to move.

Once the ginseng diggers find ginseng, they like to mark it with the method of tying the red string, and some will leave a name on the red rope to indicate that the ginseng was found first.

The leader of the southwest accent is a middle-aged uncle in a thick cotton coat, and those who follow him call him Boss Cai.

Boss Cai sneered twice and said: "The ginseng on Changbai Mountain, whoever digs it will naturally belong to whom, can you tie a red rope, and others can't dig it when they see it?" How can this be true? ”

The leader of the southeast accent is surnamed Ran, a stout young man, he has dark skin, and he is very fierce at first glance: "If you put down the ginseng today, I can still let you live, if you dare to grab the ginseng from us...... Hmph, you don't go to inquire about who my brother Ran is! On this Changbai Mountain, whoever sees me will not give up three points! ”

Lao Cai waved his hand and said, "What Brother Ran, Brother Ran, I don't know!" I'm a man who only admits death, and whoever digs it up is whoever's own. ”

Brother Ran was furious, picked up his sickle, and glared at him: "Lao Tzu chopped you!" ”

With that, he picked up the scythe and rushed forward.

He seems to have learned martial arts for a few days, and he is a practitioner, and this knife is very powerful, enough to cut off Lao Cai's arm.

Who knew that Lao Cai stood there with a golden knife, standing still, Brother Ran sneered in his heart, hum, scared stupid.

Just when the sickle was about to hit Lao Cai, Lao Cai suddenly made a move, he punched extremely fast, and hit Brother Ran in the stomach with a punch, and Brother Ran flew out upside down and fell heavily into the group of people he brought.

"You, you're a warrior." Brother Ran pointed at him and said a word, convulsed twice all over, and fainted.

As soon as they heard that he was a martial artist, the group of people brought by Brother Ran all showed frightened looks, and they didn't dare to ask for ginseng, so they dragged Brother Ran and ran away.

Lao Cai didn't mean to chase them, turned around and said to a young man next to him: "Xiaojin, look at it, how old is that ginseng?" ”

Xiao Jin picked up a ginseng that was still stained with soil and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said excitedly: "Uncle Cai, this ginseng is at least eighty years old. ”

Everyone rejoiced: "Eighty years? Well, we're all going to get rich! ”

"Last time in our city, a 60-year-old ginseng was auctioned for a high price of 2.8 million, and this 80-year-old ginseng can definitely be worth 4 million, and the six of us, each of whom can share more than 600,000 yuan!"

"Haha, I can finally buy a house in full!"

Lao Cai's face sank and said, "You all forgot, we have to take sixty percent out and make a pension for Lao Huang's family!" ”

Everyone was silent all of a sudden, and they looked at each other, all a little reluctant.

Lao Cai's face was even more ugly: "Have you forgotten that when we were in distress in the mountains, if it wasn't for Lao Jin and them sacrificing their lives to save us, we would have died a long time ago, where is there today?" At the beginning, we said that every time we harvested, we would give 60% to their families. ”

Everyone didn't speak, and one of the men with a beard said: "Lao Cai, the money we have distributed to them in the past two years is no less than one million, when will it be a head." Even if you want to repay it, this life-saving grace can be regarded as over. ”

"yes." Another said, "Why should we give it to those who have not even come out of the door for the sake of this ginseng, who are born and die?" ”

Everyone was very dissatisfied, Lao Cai's eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "Could it be that you have so many lives, only worth a million?" Lao Li's family also has a son with cerebral palsy, and Lao Fang's daughter is not in good health, these are our lifesavers. ”

Everyone wanted to say something, but Lao Cai shouted angrily: "Don't say anything, I've already decided!" Whoever has an opinion is against me! ”

Although everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, they were forced by his strength to dare not speak out.

At this time, I saw a flash of resentment in the bearded man's eyes.

Lao Cai waved his hand: "Let's continue to walk to the top of the mountain to see if we can dig anything else." ”

Yin Shengyao glanced at me, and we quietly followed them, and when we reached the top of the mountain, they rested in a wooden house, and the group worked together, boiling water, cooking and cooking.

When he finished eating, the bearded man spoke again: "Lao Cai, you have taken us for so many years, and we respect you very much." But you also have to think about us, we are all old and young, my son is about to go to high school, I have always wanted him to go to a good high school, this time I have to pay 200,000 yuan for school choice. ”

Lao Cai's face turned cold and said, "Lao Wang! Divide your money this time, it's enough. I repeat, if anyone doesn't agree, don't follow me in the future, I will never force it. ”

Lao Wang clenched his fists, and a flash of anger flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Lao Cai, I understand, let's not talk about this, drink, drink." Lao Wang didn't insist, everyone began to push the cup to change the lamp, Lao Cai drank a few glasses of spirits and went down, suddenly felt something, his face changed greatly, he threw the glass in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "What did you put in the wine?" ”

With that, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

Lao Wang also broke the wine glass, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Lao Cai, don't blame us for being ruthless, we are doing this for the sake of our wives and children at home!" We know that you are a great good person, but a good person does not end well, look at your wife and children, still crammed into a fifty square room, we don't want our family to live like this. ”

"Yes, Lao Cai, we don't want to." Although the other people were ruthless, they also had a little shame in their eyes.

At this moment, the young man named Xiaojin picked a large handful of mushrooms and walked in from outside the door, and saw Lao Cai covered in blood, and his face changed greatly: "You, what are you doing?" ”

Lao Cai was startled and shouted: "Xiaojin, hurry, go quickly!" ”

Xiao Jin dropped the fungus in his hand, turned around and ran, these people are all practitioners, but they are not as strong as Lao Cai, one of them rushed up and punched Xiao Jin in the head, knocking Xiao Jin unconscious.
