Chapter 22: Splashing Dirty Water

Before five o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen brought a pot of sweet wine and a few catties of air-dried beef, and rowed alone into the mountains.

There are few morning stars, the waning moon hangs obliquely in the sky, the autumn wind is bleak, blowing the withered grass on the bank of the stream, and the distant dark woods with no fingers occasionally hear a few owl cries, which makes people palpitate.

Fortunately, the white of the fish belly in the east was already faintly revealed, and at the speed of his own rowing, when he arrived at the mooring bay an hour later, the sky was completely bright.

Recently, the hunting battlefield has shifted to the mountains farther away, and the fierce beasts that can pose a threat to Ye Congwen have been attracted to it, after all, carnivores also live by hunting animals in a sense, but it is not a human!

So this section of the road is theoretically quite safe. Since Ye Congwen ate the two-color ginseng, the strength of the whole person has changed significantly, the explosiveness is stronger, and the endurance is more durable than ever, shaking the sculls with all his strength against the current, often for four or five hours without the slightest fatigue.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen had rushed to a treasure mountain surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a height of more than 1,000 meters, and the mountains were lush and ancient trees, but the mountains were relatively steep, but fortunately, there were few fierce beasts in this kind of mountain with a very steep slope, which saved the strength to worry about their own safety.

Ye Congwen carried a small basket on his back, loaded with a small hoe, an iron measuring tape, and an iron skewer to the mountain, and came today mainly to explore the location where there might be treasure medicine, mark it, and wait for tomorrow to dig.

Digging for treasure medicine is a laborious and time-consuming job, you have to use an iron skewer to make a hole to detect how deep the soil below is, enough space for the growth of treasure medicine, and it is impossible for a foot thick soil to grow two feet long.

When the soil thickness reaches the standard, it is necessary to use a measuring stick to measure the nutrient level of the soil, and it is naturally difficult to grow high-quality ginseng in poor soil.

Ye Congwen followed the theoretical knowledge of the burial scripture combined with the old patriarch's years of experience in digging holes, and closely focused on the eight-character scripture of "moistening but not shining, cutting fat and cutting jade" to determine whether there is a piece of soil.

It is a waste of time to disdain the ferocious barren soil that is "as dry as a cave millet and as wet as cutting meat".

If these two conditions are met, Ye Congwen will use a hoe to dig a deep ditch in the place where he judged that the treasure medicine is most likely to exist, and if he is lucky, he may find two-color soil, and he can dig out two-color ginseng by touching the melon.

If you don't have this luck, then I'm sorry, the amount of work is large, and you have to dig up the whole piece of land like plowing a field, and sometimes Ye Congwen is also wondering if it would be cool to get a pioneer ox to come over and plow a few times, and follow behind happily to pick up treasure medicine......

Before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you have to row and leave, and you must arrive at the boat bay before dark, otherwise your life will be in danger.

Excluding the time spent going up and down the mountain, the time really left for him to find medicine was only five hours. Ye Congwen ate a few catties of beef jerky, drank half a pot of sweet wine, and quickly searched for nine pieces of treasure land, marked them, and inserted a wooden stick tied with a red rope. I trotted all the way back to the boat, shook the oars and ran back.

After repeated attempts like this three or four times, it was not until the seventh day that I dug up a bicolor ginseng, which was still a pair of two-color ginseng with a thickness of five arms and a weight of five catties.

But what is infuriating is that this bicolor ginseng does not have much effect on the body. At first, I thought it was too little, the effect was not obvious, the next day I cut two catties mixed with snow chicken and stewed a pot of soup, eating it still did not have much effect, unable to realize my wish to break the stone.

"Could it be that my body has adapted to the domineering power of the two-color ginseng? And the physique has evolved to the limit of what two-color ginseng can improve?

In this way, next time, we should focus on finding tricolor ginseng! ”

It's cheap pigeon bean sprouts, and after drinking it eight or nine times, the whole person is radiant, and his skin is crystal clear, and he has swept away the pitiful appearance of dull and yellow skin and malaise before. Even the amount of food I eat has increased greatly, and my weight has returned to my previous state in just a few days.

"Could it be that this two-color ginseng is a panacea for men to become stronger and women to eat beauty?"

Ye Congwen was puzzled. But it's not without benefits, since the pigeon bean sprouts got rid of the serious illness, the amount of food has increased greatly, and even sleeping no longer grinds teeth.

It's so good to Ye Congwen that he throws himself to the ground, suddenly changes the trick of stewing soup and stir-frying, does everything about laundry and sweeping, beats his back and rubs his waist on call, so that Ye Congwen has a full old man's addiction.

In the next half month, in addition to going to the county seat with everyone to sell prey, Ye Congwen still focused on finding three-color ginseng.

Finally, one day, I found several three-color soils on a treasure mountain one hundred and fifty miles away from home, and it was very likely that there were three-color ginseng growing among them!

However, the nine pieces of treasure soil occupy an extremely wide area, and Ye Congwen is afraid that he will dig up the soil and let some gophers take the lead, so he will regret it. In addition, the time passed two o'clock in the afternoon, and the estimated time was not allowed, so I picked some wild fruits at random and rowed home.

This time there was no delay, and when I returned to the entrance of the village, it was not even dark, but the position where I berthed the boat was occupied by a colorful boat, and I was wondering what strange guests came to the tower village, but I heard the onlookers shouting:

"Old patriarch, Xiao Congwen is back!"

The sound of the bell shook the canopy one after another.

The tall old patriarch rushed out first, followed by a group of men in black power suits, all of them with tigers on their backs, eagles and wolves, and protected a woman in a herringbone shape.

The woman shaved her shoulders and waist, her slenderness, and tall figure made Ye Congwen feel like a great enemy, and she was surprised in her heart:

"The masked monster has finally come to the door, but how can he be so kind to the pigeon bean sprouts, like a girlfriend for many years?"

I didn't have time to think about it, the tall woman turned her head to look at herself, her fair goose egg face was slightly pale, her hair was pulled in a bun at random on the top of her head, her shawl hair hung lazily down her waist, her white forehead could be blown and broken, and her elegant clothes looked approachable, but her expression was arrogant and cold, which made people daunting.

No makeup, no powder, no floor-length skirts, no high heels, but in stark contrast to the pigeon bean sprouts dressed up next to him.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, come here to say hello!"

Ye Wushu was in a good mood, drank a few more barrels of rice wine on the boat, and chatted with this girl very speculatively.

"Patriarch Ye, aren't you sincere in embarrassing me? The grace of saving lives is comparable to reconstruction, if others know, they still think that I, Yu Yueyue, have no tutor at all. ”

A smile made people feel like a spring breeze, and walked up to Ye Congwen with a smile like a flower, and said softly:

"Brother Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Congwen decided that this woman was hiding a knife in her smile, she must not have held back anything good, she had a high fever and didn't wake up some time ago and didn't forget to kill me, but now that she is alive, she has changed sex?

Have you ever seen a big bad wolf befriend a cow or a sheep?

"I heard that you are seriously ill, it is windy outside, and you are not in good health, so don't go out and wander around, what if you let the rhinoceros chase and step on it?"

Ye Congwen got on the two- or three-meter-high boat with a small run, pretending to be very concerned about the cold and asking for warmth, and by the way, he slapped the sludge on Yu Yueyue's fragrant shoulder.

The action was so fast that even the dozen or so guards didn't react.

Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's pair of black hands constantly wiping his new clothes, and he used my clothes as a rag! Subconsciously took a step back, and when he mentioned the rhinoceros again, the smile was not so natural.

"Let me introduce myself, my surname is Yu, my name is Yueyue, happy and joyful Yue, Brother Ye, I heard everyone call you Congwen, is your full name Ye Congwen?"

"Don't be so literate, I'm a wild boy, just call me Ye Congwen. Don't call me a little brother, I'm still young, I'm only fifteen years old this year, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your brother. By the way, my sister is in her twenties this year? ”

Method in my madness! This black boy definitely did it on purpose! Yu Yueyue scolded secretly in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, I would have asked the third uncle to clean you up a long time ago!

"Brother Congwen, how could you ask such a question."

Pigeon Bean Sprouts came in a snow-white long skirt, pulled Ye Congwen's arm and gently reproached:

"Sister Yueyue is only eighteen years old this year, not as old as you think."

"Eighteen is still young, let the dolls in our village walk! The elders are respected, and the etiquette of the order of the teeth still needs to be taught. ”

Ye Congwen made a long gesture to Yu Yueyue, and said in a crepe manner:

"Sister Yu, welcome to Tieta Village, I don't know why your old man has come all the way to find me?"

"Xiao Congwen, don't fool around, Xiao Yu followed her third uncle to Tieta Village to buy game!"

Ye Wushu was talking with a middle-aged man with a long beard, and when he saw Ye Congwen's hands black and slapping the girl, it was really rude, it was too unsophisticated, and he reprimanded:

"I'm going to criticize you, doing good deeds outside without leaving a name has always been a fine tradition of our Tower Village, how can you sell your reputation and keep your name?

What did you say to Xiao Yu If you want to repay me, I will bring grain, oil and high-quality rice wine to find you in Tieta Village, this is a shameless act, and you will be grounded for a month, and you are not allowed to go anywhere except Tieta Village this month!

Go wash your black hands, put away the habit of hooking up between your brothers and sisters, and don't scare your guests! ”

Ye Congwen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Yu Yueyue incredulously, thinking that this woman is really not a good person, when did I say this? As soon as I came up, I poured dirty water on me and ruined my image, and I guess it was calculated a long time ago.

"Brother Congwen, I really didn't mean to say this, I knew that your tutor was so strict, and it would cause you to be punished, and I won't say these words even if I beat you to death, you won't blame me, right?"

Ye Congwen looked at the innocent-looking girl in front of him, and was about to defend a few words, but he heard the woman complain faintly:

"You tore my skirt and threw me into the stinking gutter, didn't I care! People say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing sometimes! You say, don't you? ”
