Chapter 192: First Acquaintance with the Snow Wolf King

Just when Zhao Heizi slapped the table and stared at his mother in a daze to vent his dissatisfaction, Li Yuanhao sat aside and coughed softly. γ€ŽWuji World No pop-up ads to read. Zhao Heizi's giant spirit palm hanging in mid-air immediately paused, and he turned around a little embarrassed, grabbing his head instead.

Li Yuanhao smiled slightly, and he said to Meng Dezi: "This big brother, we heard Director Zhao say that you are the best ginseng digger in this piece, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Speaking of digging ginseng, Meng Dezi was full of pride, and he said quite proudly: "That is, when it comes to digging ginseng, in this radius of five hundred miles, I recognized the second, and no one dared to recognize the first." ”

Li Yuanhao also immediately complimented: "We also believe that Director Zhao's introduction will not be wrong, but what we want to buy is the best wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old, I don't know if you have any goods on hand?" ”

"The best wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old?" Meng Dezi obviously hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "No, this kind of vintage is very rare, and I don't have it at hand." ”

"Hey, I said Meng Dezi, this is my instructor in the army and his daughter-in-law, but my iron buddy. The first time he came to me to mention the purchase of ginseng, I brought them to find you, at this critical time, you have to save face for me, but don't drop the chain for me! Zhao Heizi shouted anxiously on the side.

"Director Zhao, when my father was ill, thanks to you sending him to the hospital in time, your great kindness and Meng Dezi have it in my heart. You opened this mouth today, if I had the goods on hand, of course I wouldn't hide it. Who is this sold to? But I don't really have any. Meng Dezi said with a wry smile.

An Xin's whole body was surrounded by the internal force of the 'Supreme Heart Sutra', which made her feel very strong about the spiritual power of the outside world, and she felt it as soon as she entered this room. In the east room of this house, there is a very majestic spiritual power coming out, what else is there besides the best wild ginseng? She quietly pulled Li Yuanhao's sleeve, and then glanced at him.

Li Yuanhao nodded slightly, and then said to Meng Dezi: "If there is no three-hundred-year-old top-grade wild ginseng, is there a shallower vintage?" ”

"There are still some shallower vintages, or not. Show it to you? Meng Dezi said with some hesitation.

"Yes, you don't want to take it out. What else is inked here? Walk, where did you put it? We'll go with you to see it. Zhao Heizi had already stood up and anxiously urged Meng Dezi to come.

Seeing that Zhao Heizi was the first to stand up, An Xin and Li Yuanhao also stood up. He looked anxious to see the goods. Meng Dezi originally wanted to go into the house by himself and take out his collection of wild ginseng to show them. didn't expect Zhao Dezi to be so anxious, as if he couldn't wait for a moment. He had no choice but to take them to the east house together.

There was still an old blue calico cotton curtain hanging at the door of the east house, Meng Dezi took a few steps forward and said to Zhao Heizi, who had already stretched his hand to the door curtain: "You wait at the door first, I'll talk to the old man first, don't surprise him." ”

Zhao Heizi immediately put his hand back and said in a low voice: "Well, then you can go quickly." ”

Meng Dezi nodded. casually lifted the curtain and walked in first. Zhao Heizi whispered to Li Yuanhao and An Xin: "If he doesn't have any goods here, then there won't be any goods in the whole village." So what to do? ”

"It's okay, if there is really none, we can also ask him if there is one on the mountain? If it doesn't work, we can ask him to lead the way at a high price, and we'll go up the mountain to find it. Li Yuanhao didn't care at all, in fact, he felt that no was the best. In this way, he and An Xin had an excuse to find Meng Dezi to take them up the mountain.

An Xin blinked her watery eyes and asked in a low voice, "Will he have the goods in his hands, but he is holding them down to sell them at a high price?" ”

"No, it won't. I've known him for almost twenty years, and I know him well. He is a cheerful person, if there is something, if there is not, if there is not, he will not hang it up and sell it. Zhao Heizi said very confidently, he almost didn't pat his chest to make a guarantee.

An Xin just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Through the cotton door curtain, the three people waiting outside the house heard the coughing sound of an old man coming from the house, and heard Meng Dezi raise his voice in the back room and said: "Dad, Director Zhao has brought a few of his friends to see you, and he has bought you all the yao for half a year." ”

I heard the coughing sound stop, and then an old man's voice sounded like thunder: "Okay, you little boy, why don't you invite Director Zhao and his friends in." ”

Zhao Heizi explained to Li Yuanhao and An Xin in a low voice: "Old Man Meng was also a good hand in the mountains when he was young, so he is still full of energy when he is old, but unfortunately because he is older, his ears are a little deaf, and when you talk to him, remember to be louder." ”

After explaining, he took the lead in opening the curtain and walked in, and An Xin and Li Yuanhao also walked in after him. This room is not very large, just an earthen kang and a huge mahogany cabinet, this mahogany cabinet is probably too long, the original gold lacquer pattern on it has been dilapidated, and the whole cabinet also shows a layer of brown heavy pulp, which if those who play with wood see it, they will definitely praise this is a good object with a wide open door.

There were a few pieces of animal skins and quilts on the kang, which looked a little messy, and an old man was half-lying in the pile of quilts. Although the old man looked a little weak, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and when he stared at people, he felt inexplicably like a knife scraping on his body. Although the old man was half-leaning on the quilt, his waist was straight. Although his appearance was mighty, there were four deep old scars on the left side of his face, extending from his forehead to his neck, and even on his eyelids, which looked very terrifying, and this should be the work of some kind of beast.

"How? Girl, it didn't scare you, did it? As soon as An Xin came in, he stared curiously at his left cheek, the old man laughed heartily, his voice was unusually loud, An Xin felt that her ears were "buzzing".

Zhao Heizi said with a smile: "Uncle Meng, today's Jing God is very good." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it seems that my old life, God doesn't want to accept it for the time being." Although Uncle Meng was still smiling and his voice was loud, it was not difficult for everyone to hear the bitterness in his tone.

An Xin finally couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Meng, can I ask what grabbed your face?" ”

This scar has been on the old man's face for many years, and it may feel hideous and terrible in the eyes of others, but to the old man, it is like a medal of honor. So An Xin rashly mentioned it, not only was he not unhappy, but said with interest: "Girl, guess what you were caught for?" ”

"I look like I was caught by a bear, what do you say?" An Xin pushed Li Yuanhao and asked.

Li Yuanhao looked at it carefully and said, "I look like I was caught by a bear." ”

"Hahaha, eight out of ten guess it's a black bear. But you're all wrong. Uncle Meng pretended to be mysterious and said, "Have you heard of the Snow Wolf King? ”

"Yes, it's starting again, I said it all, I've been wandering around the mountains for so many years, why haven't I seen any snow wolves." Meng Dezi said disappreciably.

"You know what, have you eaten more rice than I have ever tasted? Have you climbed as many mountains as I have climbed? Do you dig more ginseng than I have dug ginseng? Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. Go, go, go, go, while going, it makes people angry when you listen to it, don't bother me to talk. Seeing that his words were interrupted by his son, Uncle Meng immediately reprimanded him unhappily.

"Come on, come on, count me too much, I'm wrong, you guys talk slowly, I'll make you tea." Meng Dezi patted his face helplessly, and then lifted the curtain and went out to make tea.

Uncle Meng continued: "Dewazi always said that I was dazzled, in fact, I didn't believe that there would be snow wolves on this Changbai Mountain before, but I really saw it with my own eyes, and I saw it twice, I really can't help but believe it......"

It turns out that because poaching in Changbai Mountain has always been relatively serious, many animals are almost endangered, and even if there are those who survive, they are hiding in the depths of the forest and cannot be seen. Although Uncle Meng was in his sixties at that time, he was still old and strong, and there were many young people in the village who were not as agile as him.

Once he went into the mountains alone to dig ginseng, but this time the harvest was very bad, he walked for seven days and seven nights and did not find a satisfactory wild ginseng, at that time he had already eaten half of the gan grain he carried, it stands to reason that he should turn back at this time, because the remaining gan grain can only last him to chew on the return trip.

But Uncle Meng, who was stubborn and stubborn, was not convinced, he set a plan for himself, that is, to go forward for three more days, and then he would turn back on time regardless of whether he had gained or not. But in this case, the gan food he brought with him would not be enough to eat, but it was not difficult for Uncle Meng, who grew up in the mountains. Because for him, this mountain is like a generous mother, selflessly providing her children with an inexhaustible treasure.

In this way, Uncle Meng relied on digging traps to catch a lot of unlucky small animals, picking wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, and eating wild fruits, these gifts of nature supported him to go forward for another three days. In this way, he walked to the deepest part of the hinterland of the mountain, which was the place where the beasts of Changbai Mountain had the highest chance of appearing. At that time, Uncle Meng also dug up two wild ginseng trees that he was more satisfied with, so he was satisfied and planned to go back.

But when he entered the heart of the mountain, the poachers also entered here, and the traps and traps they set up followed them, and the beasts in the mountains began to suffer. To be continued
