Chapter 12: A Sudden Change

The next morning, when Zhaoyu, who had difficulty getting out of bed, finally remembered that she was already in the mountains, she got up and saw her father lovingly watching her through the mosquito net.

"Dad, I'm not up late, my uncles and uncles are gone." Zhaoyu hurriedly got out of bed and lifted the curtain.

"Don't worry, the dew is heavy in the morning, and we can set off again when the sun is in force."

"Oh," Zhaoyu wanted to go back to sleep, but when her mother wasn't around, she lost interest.

"Get up, breakfast is ready, you're well fed, and you're ready to go, and you're going to pack up your things and take them to the next camp. But not to mention that we have to go deep into the mountains today, we have to camp in the evening, and we can only get to the next place to rest tomorrow, how are your feet? Do you need your dad to carry you for a ride? ”

"No, the medicine my mother gave me is very effective, and I don't feel any pain after applying it yesterday."

"That's good, stay and follow Daddy's side, you can't run away naughtily, remember?" Zhao Wenwu said solemnly.

"Well, don't worry, Dad."

There are many peaks in Lang Mountain, and when everyone finally climbs to the top of a peak, they will find that the peak in front of them is higher and more majestic, and there seems to be an endless number of mountains waiting for everyone behind the peaks in front of them.

"Yu'er, look over there." Zhao Wenwu pointed to a boulder not far from the right side of the road and said.

"Wow, this stone looks down the mountain like an eagle." Zhaoyu clapped his hands and said.

"Let's rest for a while, replenish our strength, and then set off." It was almost noon, and Zhao Wenwu found this open place and said to everyone.

Zhao Wenwu is the head, the experience of putting the mountain has been passed down from generation to generation, and the people who accompany him may still laugh and scold in Longbei Village, but after entering the mountain, Zhao Wenwu's words are more effective than the holy decree, and everyone listens to him say this and immediately rest in place to deal with their own affairs.

Zhao Wenwu led Zhaoyu to this boulder, pointed down and asked Zhaoyu:

"What do you see from here?"

"I saw a lot of rubble, and there was a 。。。。。。 Daddy, isn't that a spring? ”

"Well, Yu'er, you go down and take a look up."

Zhaoyu was very obedient and went down from the side of the boulder to look up again.

"Dad, I saw a boulder that seemed to cover the mountain, and there was only this boulder in front of me."

"Go a little further."

"Daddy, I see the mountain again."

"Yu'er go under the boulder, where I am beneath my feet, and see what you can find?" Zhao Wenwu said to Zhao Yu, who had already run away.

"Daddy, what kind of grass is this? Ah, Daddy, Daddy, I found the mallet. Zhaoyu shouted happily.

"Yes, remember the appearance of these grasses, it is called mallet grass, under normal circumstances, it will grow with mallets, and there will be mallets in places where there are many mallet grasses, which is also the origin of the name of mallets, remember?"

"Well, remember, but didn't you say that mallets usually grow on steep slopes in fir forests? Why is there also here? ”

"Hehe, that's under normal circumstances, there is mud under the rocks here, the slope is more urgent, and whether you look at it from above, or from below, you can't see this small place, you can only see it by walking over in person, Daddy has dug up the old ginseng here for decades, and now these are deliberately left by Daddy, you observe their jaws, there are only one or two, and the leaves are only two, that are all small ginseng with a small age, not yet to the extent that they can be dug, and they can be dug for a few more years."

"Dad, aren't you afraid that they will be poached before that time?" Zhaoyu was puzzled.

"Yu'er, this is what Daddy wants to tell you, our Zhao family has survived on the mountains for generations, not only to ask for some treasures from the mountains, but also to protect these treasures from extinction, these small ginseng can be sprinkled with their seeds when they mature in the autumn, those birds, small animals, will bring these seeds to many places, and so on and so on and on, generation after generation, when the mountains are not poor, the treasures are endless, we will not be poor, remember?"

"Well, remember, I'll come back next year to see if these little ginseng grows stronger."

"Let's go, everyone has rested enough, and is waiting for us."

After three days of driving, Zhao Yu finally saw the camp that Zhao Wenwu said in the afternoon, this camp is very different from the one outside, its foundation is made of big stones, the wall made of hard stone is more than one person high, it is also a two-story building, the hall on the first floor is much more spacious than the camp outside, the wooden beds are arranged in a circle, the second floor is much higher than the camp outside, and it obviously took a long time to get a little bit of it.

"This camp was built by your grandfather and his brothers, and it wasn't until a few years ago that my father and your Uncle Yongquan built it, you go and see it." Zhao Wenwu said proudly.

Zhaoyu ran up to the second floor attic, this attic already has a wall, unlike the one outside, which is only supported by wooden shelves, and there are actually screen windows on the wall, and outside the wall is a circular terrace, on which there are still many wooden shelves and hemp ropes, which are used to dry ginseng.

The camp is located close to the top of the mountain, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and the mountain breeze.

"Daddy, it's good here, let's go and pick up my mother." Zhaoyu felt that it was much better to live in the mountains than at the bottom of a well.

"I'm stupid again, hurry up and clean up, repair it today, and start releasing the mountain tomorrow." Zhao Wenwu shouted below.

"Yes!" Zhaoyu forgot her tiredness, like a little swallow busy going back and forth upstairs and downstairs.

In the past few days, although Liu Shi has Erzhuang to take care of him, he is also tired, but his spirit has begun to strengthen, and his eyes are no longer so wandering.

The bonfire is blazing, everyone is a mountain person, in this midsummer season, everything in the mountain can be eaten, clean up the things in the house, there are many wild fruits and all kinds of mountain delicacies piled up around the bonfire outside the house, everyone is eating after a simple treatment, while looking forward to this year's harvest, most of the words spoken by the men in one place are just bragging, especially talking about the turn of the woman is to make them unstoppable.

Zhao Yu didn't like to hear it, so he took advantage of Zhao Wenwu's lack of attention and began to explore a dense forest in front of him.

"Where are you going, it's late at night, and Daddy says there are a lot of wild beasts here, it's too dangerous." Er Zhuang also followed, and persuaded Zhaoyu uneasily.

"Do you follow or not?" Zhaoyu said threateningly.

"Follow." Er Zhuang had no choice but to follow Zhaoyu and disappear into the night.

"Brother Erzhuang, look, what's that in front? Wow! It's so beautiful! Zhaoyu poked into the dense forest and suddenly found that the green light in front of him was shining, and a large area of fireflies was shining and flying like shrunken stars.

She hurried to the middle of the fireflies, raised her hands to catch them, but she couldn't, so she spun around and jumped in place with great joy.

"Zhaoyu don't move!" Er Zhuang was originally standing in the distance and watching Zhaoyu play with a smile, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be a tall black shadow shaking not far in front of Zhaoyu, so he shouted and ran quickly.

The fishy wind was blowing, and Zhaoyu also realized the danger of the breath, and subconsciously picked up the slingshot in the leather bag, took out the stone pill that her father made for her, and watched in the direction of the front vigilantly.
