Xu Shiyan led his son and the fox and stayed on the platform for five days.

In the past five days, Xu Shiyan has brought out all the ginseng on the platform.

The largest of them is the six-pint leaf, and there are two six-pint leaves, which are a little smaller, but not bad.

The four five-grade leaves are also okay, and the remaining four-pint leaves, lampstands, and erjiazi are relatively small.

Xu Shiyan didn't dislike the small one at all, and all of them were lifted out and carefully wrapped in moss and birch bark.

"These big ones are all concocted back, and they are all life-saving medicines.

The small one, I will find a suitable place to close it up, and if I raise it for another ten or twenty years, it will grow not small. ”

The secret spoken by Xu Shiyan is also a local dialect, which was left by the people who put the mountain in the past.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Changbai Mountain area was sealed off and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

However, the Manchu aristocracy had a very large demand for ginseng, and it was obviously impossible to meet it by relying only on the soldiers of the Ula Yamen.

So at that time, the Yamen of Ula would give out tickets to some people, and the people who took the tickets and went into the mountains to dig ginseng were called planers.

Planers go into the mountains to dig ginseng, and sometimes the ginseng they bring out is too small to exchange money.

So next to the shack where I lived, I found a suitable place and replanted the small ginseng into the ground, which is called moving mountain ginseng or seedling ginseng.

Let's put it aside now, it's called mountain ginseng.

Not to mention, the ginseng transplanted to a new place has sufficient nutrients, and the growth is better than before, and it can grow in a few years.

Then the planer handed over the rice cucumber as an old mountain ginseng in exchange for wages.

The quality of the ginseng is inferior to that of the ginseng, and this kind of thing of using the ginseng as a mountain ginseng was discovered by the imperial court in the Jiaqing period.

It is said that at that time, among the 59 catties and 7 taels, 37 catties and 13 taels were seedlings.

The emperor was furious and ordered the investigation and punishment of more than 30 local officials, or dismissed from their posts, or demoted by three ranks, and the Jilin general Xiulin gave the order to commit suicide.

Since then, officers and soldiers have been searching the mountains from time to time, and once they find that the planers are cultivating seedlings, they will destroy them all.

But this kind of thing has been repeatedly prohibited, and in order to preserve the rice ginseng, the planer tried his best to hide the rice ginseng in a secret place.

Therefore, there is this secret.

Later, when people cultivated garden ginseng, ginseng seeds could be water seeds and dried seeds.

The dry seeds have a high opening rate and a high survival rate, which is relatively uniform.

The seeds have not gone through the dormancy period, and the opening rate is not good, so it is likely that the seedlings did not emerge in the spring of the second year, but came out in the third year.

Therefore, when the ginseng is planted, there are five leaves mixed with three flowers.

Sanhua is very small, just like a matchstick, but the ginseng farmers with poor conditions have to ask for such a plant.

So it was replanted in the original ground, left for a year or two and started again, this is called dense planting.

Of course, this dense plant, in general, will not be too good, and it is rarely transplanted.

Most of them have been in the ground for two years, in the local vernacular, it is called rolling around, and then getting up to make goods.

Although this moving ginseng or party goods is not as valuable as mountain ginseng, it is still quite good to keep it for medicinal purposes, after all, the medicinal value is much higher than that of garden ginseng.

That's what Xu Shiyan planned, go back and find a suitable place, dense those small ones, and carefully cultivate and keep them.

As long as it doesn't rot, keep it in the ground and dig it up when you use it later.

Xu Haiyuan doesn't know much about this, anyway, what his father said, he just listened.

In this way, early in the morning of the sixth day, the two men packed their things.

Xu Shiyan climbed up first, Xu Haiyuan was underneath, tied their backpacks and other things to the rope, and Xu Shiyan dragged them up.

After that, Xu Haiyuan picked up the Lai Pi Ghost on his back and dragged the rope up again.

Xu Shiyan also pulled the rope on it to help his son climb up quickly.

After Xu Haiyuan and Laipi Ghost came up, Xu Haiyuan let go of Laipi Ghost.

The two men put on their big backpacks and walked back the same way, ready to go back to find their car.

Xu Shiyan was familiar with this side, he led the way in front, and Xu Haiyuan led the Lai Pi Ghost to follow behind.

After all, Xu Haiyuan is a teenager, and he hasn't been into the mountains much, so he can't walk as fast as Xu Shiyan.

Xu Haiyuan was stumbling and stumbling behind his father, but the ghost didn't know what was going on, but he jumped out and ran to the side.

"Come back, Rippy, we've got to go home, we can't run around outside." Xu Haiyuan saw it and hurriedly shouted.

But the Lai Pi Ghost didn't pay attention to it at all, and still ran forward, Xu Haiyuan was worried that the Lai Pi Ghost was lost, so he could only go to chase it.

Xu Shiyan walked in front, about a dozen steps away from Xu Haiyuan.

When he heard Xu Haiyuan shouting, he looked back and saw that Xu Haiyuan had already chased the Lai Pi ghost and ran towards the south.

"Yuanyuan, come back, that Laipi ghost can't be lost." Xu Shiyan hurriedly called his eldest son.

In the past few days, when Xu Shiyan went to fetch water, Laipi Ghost would follow him up and find a place to hunt.

When it is full, it will call on the coffin, and Xu Haiyuan will go and take it down.

The place on the platform is really too aggrieved, and it is estimated that the ghost of Laipi came up to have fun.

But Xu Haiyuan had already chased out for a while at this time, and the Laipi ghost in front of him was still running and turning around and shaking his big tail towards Xu Haiyuan.

Xu Haiyuan's temper also came up, and without saying a word, he ran after the Lai Pi ghost.

When he ran, Xu Shiyan could only follow, shouting at his eldest son while running.

In the mountains and forests, I saw such a strange scene.

A fox with a bright coat is like a fire shuttling through the forest.

A boy in the back was carrying the boss's backpack and a lot of things hanging on it, and he chased the fox behind.

Behind, a man was also carrying a big backpack, and there was a pot buckled on the backpack, and the man shouted as he walked.

The Lai Pi ghost ran very fast, but after running a short distance, it looked back at Xu Haiyuan, and then shook its big tail.

When Xu Haiyuan saw that he was about to catch up with it, the Lai Pi Ghost turned his head and ran again.

The angry Xu Haiyuan chased after him, and Xu Shiyan behind him had no choice, so he could only chase his son and the fox and run in the forest for a while.

The Lai Pi Ghost turned around in front and ran out for more than ten miles.

The Xu family, who was carrying so many things on their backs, was so tired and out of breath that they had to stop to rest.

"No, what is this rogue smoking today? What is it going to do? ”

Xu Haiyuan was tired, holding on to a tree, panting.

No matter how good a person is, he can't stand to carry such a heavy thing on his back and run for more than ten miles in the mountains and forests.

What's more, Xu Haiyuan is only thirteen and is still a child.

Xu Shiyan looked up at the sky, then at the tree, and discerned the direction.

"This place doesn't seem too far from where I visited your mother in the first place, right?

At that time, I was on this side of the mountain, and I rescued the Rakpi from the wolf's mouth. Is this guy homesick? ”

Although it has been all these years, Xu Shiyan still has a little impression of this mountain, as if it is not too far from the former Sichuan ginseng land of the big house.

"It's not right, it doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, can it still be homesick?" After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, he laughed first.

After raising a Lai Pi Ghost for so many years, I have never seen a Lai Pi Ghost bring back a female fox or something, and I don't know if this fox has a daughter-in-law.

Xu Haiyuan hadn't recovered yet, and when he heard his father say this, he gasped and laughed.

And the Lai Pi Ghost, who had already run out quite a long way in front, turned around and found that the two men had not followed.

The little one tilted his head and looked, and then staggered back again.

While muttering, he bit Xu Haiyuan's trouser leg and dragged him forward.

"Dad, is the ghost trying to take us somewhere?

I remember when we went into the mountains and met the snake, it was the same. ”

Xu Haiyuan looked at the ghost at his feet biting his trouser leg and trying to drag him away, and asked thoughtfully.

When Xu Shiyan heard this, he came to his senses, "Oh, I can't tell." ”

This gadget is full of spirituality, and it is in the mountains and forests all the year round, so I can't keep it all right, and I want to take them to find something.

"Let's go, follow it, let's see."

In this way, the two men followed the Lai Pi Ghost, and walked into the forest for more than an hour, and came to a mountain nest.

Xu Shiyan looked at this place, the wind was sunny, the trees were luxuriant, hey, the place was good.

"Yuanyuan, follow the Laipi Ghost closely, I feel that this place should be able to participate." Xu Shiyan instructed Xu Haiyuan.

Before Xu Haiyuan could agree, Xu Shiyan saw a red pine tree not far away.

There was probably a man who was hugging a tree with a thick hug, and a tree was about a height above the ground, and a piece of bark was stripped of it, revealing the essence of the wood, and on it was carved with an axe.

At the first glance of that sign, the years are not short.

"Son, there is an old sign here. Come here. Xu Shiyan shouted and called his eldest son over.

"Look, it's engraved on it, and someone was here at that time, and they dug up a seedling and a six-grade leaf, two seedlings and a five-grade leaf."

Xu Shiyan pointed to the old omen and explained to Xu Haiyuan.

Don't look at Xu Haiyuan's talent in learning, but he hasn't experienced these things, where can he understand?

The child was very interested in these and listened very carefully to his father's explanation.

"Dad, if you do what you say, there should be ginseng around here, right?"

After listening to the origin of the old omen, Xu Haiyuan asked.

"Well, this old omen has been around for more than a hundred years, if we follow the old rules of putting the mountain, lift the big and keep the small, there must be ginseng around here.

Of course, after all these years, no one knows if anyone has ever been here to find the old signs. ”

Xu Shiyan raised his head and glanced around, just in time to see the Lai Pi Ghost looking at them with his big tail.

"Rakpi, you brought us here, do you have any ginseng here?" Xu Shiyan asked casually.

But the ghost spread his joy, jumped and jumped on the spot, and then turned around, and ran forward.

"Let's go, let's follow the Rippy."

With the ghost here, there is no need for the two of them to go through the mountains to find it, just follow it.

The two of them followed behind the Lai Pi Ghost and walked to a position less than twenty meters southeast of Lao Zhaotou, where the Lai Pi Ghost stopped and walked around a tuft of grass.

Xu Shiyan stepped forward, and sure enough, he found a ginseng in the grass. "Mallet." Xu Shiyan hurriedly shouted.

"How many leaves?"

Xu Haiyuan followed his father on the mountain for several days, and he also understood a lot about the rules of the mountain, so he asked.

"Six-pint leaves."

Xu Shiyan stared at the seedling ginseng in front of him and looked at the thick stalk, he was really emotional.

This relieving ghost, as long as it makes a move, it seems that there is no small one.

"How many?" Xu Haiyuan replied.

"It's all over the mountain." These words are purely beautiful and auspicious, so you don't have to take them seriously.

Of course, if you can meet a tree that looks quite long, it is very possible to be full of mountains.

"Hurry up, do it quickly."

Xu Haiyuan has never looked down on these old rules, but has been following the rules and regulations.

Xu Shiyan was talking to his son, and he had already taken out the mallet lock.

He folded a branch from the side and inserted it next to the six-pint leaf of the seedling, and then hung the mallet lock.

Hang up the mallet lock, then you will definitely have to start lifting the ginseng.

With Xu Shiyan's understanding of the Lai Pi Ghost, this little guy seems to be able to find big goods every time.

The one in front of him should not be small, and it is estimated that today, the two of them will not be able to go down the mountain.

"Yuanyuan, you are guarding here, I will go collect firewood and build a shack."

Thanks to the fact that before going out, Su Anying brought them a lot of food.

In the past five days on the platform, I have eaten less than two-thirds, and the rest of the food should be able to persist for three or five days.

The two of them worked together, Xu Haiyuan was guarding here, and he was wandering around with the two of them looking for ginseng.

Xu Shiyan went to collect firewood, chop wood to build shacks, and fetch water.

When Xu Shiyan finished all these things, Xu Haiyuan's side, under the guidance of Laipi Ghost, also found a few ginseng trees.

So, the two of them got some food, and then Xu Shiyan began to carry ginseng.

Laipi ghost has always been a big deal, and this one is not small.

Xu Shiyan was so happy that he didn't know how to get better, and when he rested at night, he hugged the Lai Pi Ghost and rubbed the Lai Pi Ghost's hair.

"Why is this little thing so spiritual?"

Lai Pi Ghost didn't care how happy Xu Shiyan was, he only covered his body with his big tail, curled up between Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan, and slept soundly.

In the past few years, there have been a lot fewer wild animals, and the fire outside has been burning at night, but there are no wild beasts to disturb it.

Xu Shiyan and his son stayed in this mountain nest for another four days, and brought out two seedlings and six leaves, three seedlings and five leaves.

Xu Haiyuan still wanted to go around again, but Xu Shiyan didn't let him.

"Let's go back, let's come out for a short time this time, your mother should be in a hurry at home."

Originally, I said that I would go back in a week at most, but it has been ten days before and after, and Su Anying, the head of the family, has not been crazy?

Go back quickly, so that your family will not be worried.

"Ghost Lai, don't make trouble this time, we have to go home.

Even if there is a mallet, you can't look for it. Xu Shiyan touched the head of the Lai Pi Ghost and said.

"Let's go, lead the way, let's go back."

When I came, I chased the Lai Pi Ghost, and I walked too quickly, and I didn't remember some of the roads too clearly.

Although Xu Shiyan can pull away from the forest, it takes time and effort to identify the direction and find the position by himself.

Thanks to the Skin Ghost, this little guy must know the way, so let it take it with him.

The Lai Pi Ghost seemed to understand, so he jumped in front of him, leading Xu Shiyan and his son out of the mountains and forests, and went straight to the place where they parked.

The car had been parked on the side of the road for 10 days and had not moved.

Cars are not too common in these days, and when most people see them, they will only think that they are the cars of which unit, and most people dare not destroy them.

Besides, many people have moved away from the big house and Qingling now, and there are few people coming here, so the car remains the same.

But on the window of the car, there was a lot of bird droppings pulled by the birds.

Xu Shiyan saw that he could only find a small ditch to get some water, wipe the car window, and then drive Xu Haiyuan and Lai Pi Ghost back the same way.

By the time Xu Shiyan and his son returned to Donggang, it was almost dark.

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan kept chattering at home, "Tell me about the third child, how old are they, why are they still so out of tune?"

He actually took Yuanyuan to the mountain, if the two of them met something on the mountain, what could it be? ”

Xu Chenghou was worried about his son and grandson, and couldn't help muttering.

"Eiko, where did the two of them go? Did I tell you before I left?

Otherwise, arrange for someone to go into the mountains to look for it. Zhou Guilan was also worried, and sat there sighing.

"Dad, Mom, he said he was taking Yuanyuan to the other end of the big house.

Originally, he said that he would come back in a week, but who knows why he hasn't come back after ten days. "Su Anying is also in a hurry.
