The stump was so thick that one person couldn't hold it. It is estimated that it was blown down by a strong wind or struck by lightning and cut off from a position more than one person high.

As the years wore on, the stump rotted and covered with moss, and when you touched it with your hand, it felt as soft as dirt.

At the top of the stump grew weeds, and in the middle of the weeds, a green plant was interspersed.

Six palm-shaped leaves, purple-black stalks, and a red ginseng seed larger than a baby's fist at the top nodding slightly with the wind.

Xu Shiyan has been dealing with ginseng for two lifetimes, and if he still can't recognize what this thing is, he will be really blind.

The moment he saw the ginseng, Xu Shiyan exclaimed, "Mallet." ”

The few people who came with him didn't react at all.

"What's the mallet? Go back and pick up the mallet? There is no hurry.

Didn't you just say it all? Go back a little later in the afternoon, what should we do, don't delay. ”

Yang Chunming glanced at the stump, felt that it was not interesting, and waved his hand to pick up mushrooms.

"I mean, there's a mallet up there, big cargo." Xu Shiyan looked helpless, these people didn't understand what he meant at all.

"Huh? There's a mallet on this? Third brother, are you dazzled? ”

The crowd looked incredulous and looked up at the stump.

Then, everyone's mouths opened wide and their eyes were fixed on the stump.

"it, it's a great mallet, or six leaves."

"Quick, quick, mallet." The crowd came back to their senses and shouted in unison.

"What are you shouting? We don't even have a home, so it's useful?

Hurry up, look back at the ginseng house, borrow ropes, axes, saws, deer bone skewers or something, I guess Uncle Li can have them. ”

Xu Shiyan looked at the stunned appearance of everyone, couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly instructed them to find something.

The ginseng tree grew on top of a rotting stump, which was so high that it could not bear its weight, and it had to be done somehow.

At this time, everyone unconsciously led by Xu Shiyan.

So Zhao Jianshe and Wang Zhijun trotted back to see the small house, leaving Xu Shiyan and Yang Chunming to guard in front of the stump.

It didn't take long for a large crowd to arrive.

Yes, who heard that they saw a big deal and didn't want to come and see the excitement?

"Brother, where is the mallet?"

Xu Shixiang ran very fast, and was the first to come to Xu Shiyan, but he didn't find any trace of the mallet.

The crowd came to the rear, and they all looked at the ground, but no one saw the shadow of a mallet.

"Construction, didn't you say there was a mallet? Where? The big guy thought Zhao Jianshe was joking, and turned his head to glare at him.

"Well, isn't that there, on top of the stump?" Zhao Jianshe ran back and forth, tired and out of breath.

He didn't make it clear when he went back just now, but now he pointed to the stump and said breathlessly.

"On the stump? What are you kidding, who has ever heard of a mallet growing on a tree? ”

The crowd didn't believe it, but their eyes still moved to the stump.

Then, the big guys were silent.

Because they were all collectively petrified, staring at the mallets on the stumps one by one, stupid.

"What's going on? Why did the mallet grow up to it? After a long time, someone came back to his senses and asked leisurely.

"Then what else can't you figure out? I don't know how many years this stump has been, it's rotten. ”

Xu Shiyan took the rope slowly and stepped forward to tie up the stump.

"It should be that a bird ate ginseng seeds and on them, and the ginseng seeds that were not digested fell on them, and slowly sprouted and grew."

The odds are extremely low, but it's not impossible.

The stump was almost rotten like mud, soft and moist, enough to provide the ginseng for growth, so the ginseng tree grew.

When ordinary people enter the mountains, they all look down in the grass with their heads down, how can they look up at the sky?

As a result, this ginseng has become a fish that has slipped through the net, and it is so close to the ginseng field that no one has found it for so many years.

After listening to Xu Shiyan's explanation, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, if they said so, it was possible.

At the same time, everyone can't help but sigh, Xu Shiyan's luck is really good, who would have thought that such ginseng could be met by him?

"Third brother, then how did you come up with the idea of looking up?" Someone was curious and couldn't help but ask.

"You don't know, this is where Chen Deyong peed at that time." Xu Shiyan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"I was very angry at the time, and I didn't bother to look at the stump, just now we happened to be here, and we talked about Chen Deyong."

"I suddenly remembered the words of the old generation, but every treasure is guarded by wild beasts. Especially near the mallet, there are likely to be snakes. ”

The old generation of people who put the mountain in the mountains call snakes money strings, which is not just for the sake of sounding.

People will participate in ginseng seeds, and ginseng seeds are easy to attract mice, and snakes guarding near ginseng can easily catch mice.

Xu Shiyan also thought of this, so he looked around carefully, but he didn't find it around, and when he looked up, he saw the ginseng on the stump.

Everyone suddenly laughed, and then, I don't know who it was, burst out laughing.

"Third brother, you said that if Chen Deyong knew that there was a ginseng growing on it where he was bitten by a snake, what would he be doing?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they burst into laughter, and some people even burst into tears when they laughed.

"I guess he will regret dying, why did you say he was so cheap at that time? Do you have to pee on a tree stump? ”

"He's purely offended the mountain god, otherwise, this mallet might be let him see it."

"No way, he doesn't have that wealth, even if he doesn't pee, he can't see, and no one will look up."

For a while, everyone talked about it.

Xu Shiyan didn't have time to chat with them, he was busy.

"Alright, don't stand there and watch, come over and do me a favor.

I've got to get this stump down, you guys hold on to it, don't break it. ”

The stump was a bit high, and it was rotten enough that people couldn't go up, so they couldn't lift the mallet.

The best way to do this is to cut the stump from the root of the tree and then take the ginseng out of it little by little.

As soon as they heard this, Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming hurriedly stepped forward, while the others still stood there watching the excitement.

I don't blame them, this mallet is not what they saw, it has nothing to do with them, they just came to see the excitement.

If you step forward to do this, I am afraid that Xu Shiyan and others will misunderstand and think that they will also have a share.

Xu Shiyan didn't care about those people, and ordered Yang Chunming to hold on to the stump, and he took a saw and an axe here, and carefully started sawing from the root of the stump.

The stump was rotten, and it couldn't be dragged after a few saws, so I had no choice but to chop it with an axe.

The axe was sharp enough, but the stump was thick enough, and it took a lot of effort to finally bring the stump down.
