25 sick

In the vast mountains and forests.

Looking at the large piece of wild ginseng in front of him, Wang Yuan trembled with excitement, now it is Honglang City, and every ginseng plant is eye-catching and beautiful with red and bright ginseng seeds.

After careful discernment.

"Most of the ginseng is slap or stage, the year is very small and worthless, the most valuable is one with five leaves and another with six leaves!

Six leaves! It's almost a hundred years of wild ginseng! I've made a fortune~" Wang Yuan squatted next to the large clump of ginseng seedlings, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and the secretion of adrenaline accelerated, and the whole person was very excited.

Six leaves are extremely rare, let alone in 1986, even in the Qing Dynasty, very few ginseng pickers found this grade of wild ginseng.

Of course, although the six leaves are few, they have always existed in the vast small Xing'an Mountains, and later generations seem to have found the wild six leaves in 2017, which is really rich overnight, I don't know how many people died of envy.

"Last time, I felt that Wang Yuan was not in the right state, he must have accidentally discovered this large piece of wild ginseng, and he was very excited, but he didn't tell others that he wanted to take it for himself."

Wang Yuan's brain spun rapidly, and his face turned red:

"That's when I cut off my beard, find time to dig out the ginseng, and put it in the space that serves as a warehouse, perfect! No one can find it in the space warehouse. ”

After a moment's pause, Wang Yuan circled to the right, and then ran back quickly.

When he ran back to the place where the old man took a nap, Wang Shuai had just returned.

Wang Shuai glanced at Wang Yuan suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

"It's your business!"

"Hey, you owe a beating."

"Come, let's practice and see who beats whom!"

Although he came back from the mountains and forests on the right, Wang Yuan knew that Wang Shuai must be suspicious, and at this time, he must not be cowardly, and he must not be frightened, otherwise the other party's suspicion will be heavier.

The quarrel between the two woke up the others, who were quickly persuaded to leave.

Wang Yuan was a little absent-minded all afternoon, and Wang Shuai was also distracted, as if they had found a cornucopia, and they always thought of that piece of ginseng unconsciously.

One afternoon, he found a few small ginseng plants, but he didn't raise his head, Liu Hui persuaded him to pick a big one and lift a plant, no matter how low the price is, it should be able to sell for a few yuan.

A few dollars can buy several catties of meat, and it's not exactly a small amount of money.

After all, although the living conditions in the rural areas of Northeast China are better, most of them are only food and clothing, and they are not very willing to buy meat.

But the old man's head is like a stump of ash, very tough, and admits death, he said that there is no way to lift others.

"Hmph~ The mountain god lord is looking at us, and if he lifts the little ginseng, the mountain god will also despise us, so don't think about finding adult ginseng in the future." As he walked back, he hummed his head.

He seems to stubbornly regard the mountain god as real as a "person", and thinks that the ginseng he finds is a gift from the mountain god.

Wang Shuai muttered: "Feudal superstition."

He didn't want to believe the old man's words, because the ginseng he found was not tied with a red rope or painted a platform, and was immediately carried away with a deer bone drill.

If what the old man said is right, then this kind of ginseng seems to run away, because the legend says that the ginseng has become a sperm, and if you don't tie the red rope, it will be gone.

Only what the old boss said is feudal superstition, then the ginseng will not run away, which is exactly what Wang Shuai wants.

Wang Shuai was walking in the mountains and forests, and when he looked up, he found that the old man was looking at him with burning eyes, and he was instantly startled.

"Hmph~ I don't talk to you about superstition or not, I only know that believing in the mountain god and fearing the mountain god can make us better live out of the mountains and forests."

"Well, you're right." Wang Shuai still bowed his head.

Everyone hurried all the way back to the nest, and went to sleep after dinner, Wang Shuai seemed to be unable to sleep tossing and turning in the middle of the night, and after a while he asked Liu Hui to go to the thatched house together, he seemed to be afraid of being taken away by wild beasts.

Wang Yuan didn't fall asleep, he was thinking about things - the reason why Wang Shuai didn't lift the two ginseng plants, he felt that the reason was very simple, one was that it was very time-consuming to lift ginseng, basically 4~5 hours to lift a ginseng plant was considered fast.

When encountering ginseng with well-developed roots and deep roots, it may take a day or two to lift a ginseng plant.

The second is that Wang Shuai did not use it as an axe, a saw, a deer bone drill and other tools, and even if he dug out the ginseng, where would he hide it?

There is no place to hide around, and if it is hidden in the wild, it is better to let the ginseng continue to grow.

After all.

Fresh ginseng is not easy to preserve, it is easy to rot, generally fresh ginseng is steamed and then dried, and the storage period is much longer after becoming dried ginseng, this preservation method seems to have started in the Qing Dynasty.

Huhuhu~

"Whoa~whoa~"

There was not only the sound of whirring wind outside the nest, but also the occasional wolf howl, and he didn't take off his clothes when he slept, he hadn't changed his clothes and bathed for a long time, and his body was slimy, and there was no pillow or quilt, Wang Yuan felt very uncomfortable.

"Compared with the nest where I live now, I am actually very happy to live in an ordinary village, hey~ bear with me, I should go back in a few days." Wang Yuan's thoughts flashed in his heart, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

Following.

After getting up, he always looked to the west, and then led the people to the west to shout to the mountain.

"Heyβ€”"

Several old men shouted collectively in their voices, not only scaring away the beasts in the mountains, but also shaking their own brains.

After shouting about the mountain, Wu Qian was about to fall in an instant, and Wang Yuan hurriedly helped him.

"Hello~ I'm so dizzy."

"You're deprived of oxygen."

Which mountain forest to go to press the mountain every day is completely decided by the old boss Man, Wang Yuan and others are too young and too inexperienced, and they don't seem to be qualified to discuss the scope of the mountain with the old boss.

The terrain in the mountains and forests is very complicated, rugged, thorny, and strange-looking places are everywhere, and many places are not suitable for rapid mountain pressing, so the old boss does not take them to those places.

Wang Yuan was thinking about something - these inaccessible places may be easier to have ginseng, right? After all, other teams don't want to go to these places either.

For example, in some of the hard-to-walk bush areas, there is no road at all, and you have to cut down a lot of bushes to get deep into them, but this is very time-consuming - such places may not be entered for decades or even centuries.

Of course, if you go to this kind of place, it will take a week or ten days in a small area, and the old boss obviously does not want to do this.

Today's mountain pressure site is far away from yesterday's mountain pressure site, and after returning in the evening, the old boss said to continue to press the mountain here.

Soβ€”

At night, Wang Yuan fell ill.

When Wang Yuan got up in the morning, he coughed constantly, and the whole person looked sick and weak, and everyone had different expressions in an instant.

The old boss and everyone were worried and irritable, but Wang Shuai actually laughed happily, and it wasn't until the old boss glared at him that he restrained his smile.

"Yuanzi, you can rest in the nest today, what about the herbs I picked before? Qianzi, you fry a bowl of medicine for Yuanzi to take, and take care of him more. ”

The old man clattered his head and smoked a dry cigarette, and his brows were twisted into a pimple.

"Oh, I see."

"Serving the pot" Wu Qian hurriedly agreed.
