Chapter 33 Earth Ginseng
"What's that?" Lin Feng became interested.
"More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages set off from here, and the porters and carriages transported them to Northridge, where they were loaded and pulled back."
The big cat took a cigarette in his mouth and gave it to Lin Feng.
"Didn't you pass through an uninhabited mountainous area?" Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked the key question: "The uninhabited mountainous areas are poor and the rivers are evil, this road is not easy to walk." ”
"It's a bit dangerous, but the employer's price is high. Drive over, come back to unload after loading, and give a hundred copper coins a day. ”
The big cat told the truth, and Lin Feng understood when he heard it, the price was right, so he couldn't take care of the danger.
"Count me in, I'll go." Lin Feng didn't think much about it.
"Okay, I'll call you then, and we'll go together." Big Cat said.
"By the way, do you care about the rice?" Lin Feng asked again.
"It's a must, multigrain noodles, and it's full."
"That's fine. I'm going to go shopping for something, how about you? Lin Feng asked to see what the lynx had to say.
"You go shopping first, I'm just passing by, there's something wrong. I'll have to report your and my names later. ”
The big cat rubbed his hands and said goodbye to Lin Feng.
After purchasing, Lin Feng hired a donkey cart and delivered the things to his home. Carrying a bag of white rice, a bag of white noodles and a pork leg to Qing'er's house, Uncle Li was not at home, Qing'er and her mother were doing needlework at home.
Lin Feng put the rice noodles and pork legs in the kitchen, and Qing'er took out a cotton cloth and knocked the dust off Lin Feng's body.
"Xiaofeng, your uncle went to the mountains yesterday morning, it's past noon today, and he hasn't come back yet, you go to the mountains to look for it!" Qing'er's mother poured a bowl of hot water for Lin Feng.
"Auntie, the mountains are deep and the road is far away, and it is normal to have a meeting for two or three days!" Lin Feng didn't think much about it, usually he went into the mountain, mostly for five or seven days, and less for one day to go back and forth.
"I also know this, when your uncle went out, he told me that he could come back on the same day, you don't know, your uncle's entry into the mountains has always been planned, and he said that it would be a few days." Qing'er's mother looked worried.
"Xiao Linzi, my father does have this habit, you don't know!" Qing'er also agreed.
"That's it, then I'll look for it, the uncle said he didn't say which way he went, what are you going to do?" Only then did Lin Feng realize the seriousness of the problem.
"When I left, I said, take the east mountain road, go to the rabbit ridge in the east mountain, and go to hunt a few rabbits and wild deer." Qing'er said hurriedly.
"Auntie, Qing'er, I've been to Rabbit Ridge with my uncle, I'll go back and prepare something, and I'll go into the mountain." Without further ado, Lin Feng said he would leave.
"Xiaofeng, I'll prepare some food for you, you take it." Qing'er's mother said as she went to the kitchen to prepare.
"Okay, let Qing'er send it to me, I'm going home to bring weapons first." Lin Feng said and walked out quickly.
Back home, Lin Feng inserted twelve flying knives into the knife bag at his waist, put a short knife on his right leg, put a short crossbow in his backpack, and fifteen short arrows in the quiver bag, a circle of ropes, and a long-handled axe.
went out and took the food and water bag prepared by Qing'er, put on the backpack, and went straight to Dongshan Rabbit Ridge.
After half an hour, I passed by a forest hut, which was built by people in the mountains for hunters to rest on the way.
A extinguished fire in the shed, Lin Feng tried it, there was no heat, and he knew that no one was resting here for a short time. Behind a stone, there was a glyph made of tree branches, long on the left and short on the right, Lin Feng knew that this was a mark left by Uncle Li, indicating that he had rested here.
Lin Feng didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the mountain, while at the same time his divine sense was released, sweeping back and forth in all directions.
"Uncle Huo, are you sure it's around here?" , The sound in the distance attracted Lin Feng's attention.
"When Yang Shenke talked to everyone about the old mountain ginseng, I was also there, listening to his description, near a five-pronged prickly pear tree, I have been to this place, this five-pronged tree is very special, so I remember it deeply."
Lin Feng crawled in the grass and slowly touched it, and on a stone, there was a short middle-aged man and a tough old man, chatting while eating barbecue jerky.
"You know what to do? Old ginseng has been dug up? The short middle-aged man took a dried jujube in his hand and took a hard bite.
"You know what? His tree is a mother ginseng, which has blossomed and set seeds, indicating that there must be a ginseng tree nearby, and this is the ginseng we are looking for now. Said the sturdy old man.
"And that kind of statement?" The short, middle-aged man was very unconvinced.
"My family has been collecting ginseng for generations, and the experience and knowledge have been passed down orally from generation to generation, and the understanding of mountain ginseng is not comparable to that of Yang Shenke, who became a monk halfway." The elite elderly family said proudly, very confident.
"In this case, if we find this ginseng, we will make a fortune!" The short middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Needless to say, his mother ginseng is more than seven taels, and this ginseng should be about the same weight."
"Let's eat first, and after eating, continue to search!" The stocky middle-aged man took out the dough, jerky, and water bags from the cloth bag.
The two sat down on the spot, began to eat and drink, and from time to time discussed the next step, the approximate range of mountain ginseng.
Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes were also very hot, since ancient times, treasures were taken by virtuous people, Lin Feng planned to take the sheep by the hand, so he simply took out the food and water bag, ate and drank to his heart's content, and waited for the two of them to act.
For about a quarter of an hour, the two of them had eaten enough, packed their backpacks, and continued to search for mountain ginseng, and Lin Feng quietly followed dozens of meters away.
The sturdy old man turned around a shady hillside, hurriedly stopped, stretched out his hand to signal the short middle-aged man to stop, and the two slowly squatted down.
"Big baby, the big tree root in front of me shows a blade of grass, which looks like a mountain ginseng." The sturdy old man whispered.
"Uncle Huo, can you see clearly?" The short, middle-aged baby hurriedly poked her head out to take a look.
The elite old man Lao Huo hurriedly blocked the big baby, and whispered: "Don't move, the old man has become a refined, go up rashly, be careful that it escapes!" ”
"So what to do?" Dawa hurriedly asked.
"Let's do this......"
In the distance, Lin Feng performed the soil escape technique, escaped into the ground, and slowly touched the place of the mountain ginseng, and when he reached a place more than ten meters away, his divine sense swept over, an old mountain ginseng with many beards, Lin Feng had never seen such a large mountain ginseng, and estimated it, at least eight or nine taels, and the specific weight estimate was not accurate. The most important thing is that under the divine consciousness, the mountain ginseng has a faint yellow light, indicating that the mountain ginseng has cultivated the unearthed spiritual power, detached from the mortal and entered the spirit, and transformed into the earth spiritual ginseng.
In the books of the Wind Devil, there is an introduction to the elixir, the so-called elixir, which refers to various plants and herbs with spiritual power. The presence or absence of spiritual power is an important criterion for distinguishing between herbs and elixirs, and it is obvious that this mountain ginseng has already cultivated spiritual power.
According to the older generation, if you are not careful, the ginseng will run away, and this is a ginseng, so you should be very careful to prevent it from running away.
Thinking about how to deal with this earth spirit ginseng, Lin Feng didn't dare to come out, and he didn't move.
As his divine sense swept around carefully, Lin Feng found that there was a faint earth spiritual power left in the soil under the mountain ginseng, which extended to the depths of the earth.
Lin Feng continued to retreat to the depths along the approach, about fifty meters, there was a soil cave, the space was not large, but Lin Feng stayed in it more than enough, the environment in the cave was moderately dry and wet, it should be the old nest of the earth spirit ginseng, Lin Feng planned to wait for the rabbit here.
On the ground, Dawa and Lao Huo are divided into two ways, slowly crawling over on the ground, Dawa lights a yellow incense stick on the wind outlet of the mountain ginseng, slowly inserts it into the soil, and then climbs on the ground, without moving. At the headwind outlet, Lao Huo held a red rope in his hand, close to the mountain ginseng more than ten meters away, waiting quietly.
About half an hour, the long incense burns out, and the old fire is ready to shoot, which is the ecstasy incense of the old fire family, which can make the mountain ginseng fall asleep after smelling, and it can't react when it is sprayed close, which greatly improves the success rate of ginseng picking.
