When I first returned to the stockade, Zhang Quan was actually a little worried, but at this time I got my promise, Zhang Quan's whole spirit changed, and he happily led us back to his house on stilts. For dinner, in April, cut a piece of winter-cured bacon and stir-fry it with the country's seasonal vegetables. The fragrance can waft a few miles away, tempting people to drool.

That night, Lan Dao and I, who were full of food and drink, slept in the guest room of Zhang's family. A few people fell asleep on a large bed that was put together. The stilted buildings were all made of wood. Going to the bright moonlight, listening to the whispers of some mountain people outside, seems to make me feel back to the Miao village where I lived...

I lay down for a while, waiting for the fatigue to pass, and suddenly remembered the connection between the fluttering black butterflies on the mountain and the wild black beans and wild ginseng. I picked up the phone and looked at it, but An Zhishu hadn't sent a message, nor Do you know whether it was over there that didn't take it to heart, or was it too busy to forget?

When I thought about the black pink butterfly and the black chrysalis, I couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning a few times, I suddenly sat up and got out of bed to go outside. Lando asked me where I was going?

I said that I wanted to go around the mountain, looking for traces of those black pink butterflies, Lan Dao and Shi Haiyang got up at the same time and said they wanted to go with me!

I hesitated for a while, then shook my head and said: "There are too many people who can't go, others will think it's bad, or Lan Dao, you can rest, I'll take the ocean, the ocean does have a little more experience in this area. , I can tell him something about pharmacology..."

Shi Haiyang immediately got up and went out with me.

The elderly in the countryside have the habit of going to bed early. Generally, there is no entertainment after dinner, and they will go back to their room to sleep after sitting for a while. Some elderly people who like to smoke hookah may also sit on the threshold and smoke a few cigarettes before getting up leisurely. Back to the room, but Zhang Quan's parents didn't like it much. They went to bed early, and we didn't even disturb Zhang Quan when we went out!

Along the road I remembered during the day, I crossed the stockade and just went up the mountain road, when suddenly a figure flashed by the roadside and exclaimed at us: "Who?"

I hurriedly took the light of my mobile phone, and the other party blocked his eyes, but I could still see her fair and delicate face clearly, so I couldn't help but smile and greeted: "Shuisheng...you're not sleeping so late, come out and hang out. what?"

Shui Sheng seemed to be stunned for a moment, and stared at me with a frown on his forehead with his hand, and then shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can go and do your work!"

I find it strange. I don't know what Shui Sheng is doing when she comes out in the middle of the night. She seems to have a wrong tone, but after all, I don't know her very well. Seeing that she doesn't want to pay attention to us too much, I walked with Shi Haiyang. She walked towards the mountain beside her.

Along the mountain path, we reached the spot where we found ginseng during the day.

The lights are the most attractive to moths, mosquitoes and other bugs, but the strange thing is that when we walked to this area, there were not even a single moth or mosquito. When we went up the mountain before, there were still some nasty mosquitoes. Bugs like that will come up against the light, which makes me very puzzled!

After going up the mountain, I was the first to go to the place where the ginseng was excavated to check it out! Because I have a different concept from ordinary people, I believe in feng shui and other sayings, the so-called land is full of all things, the earth nourishes all people, and ginseng is also called goblin, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng can grow, and there is no earth qi and spiritual veins. unspeakable...

I took the flashlight of my mobile phone and found a layer of black powder of the black powder in the place where the ginseng was dug up. I don't know when, but I am sure that more than one black butterfly has returned to this place. I wanted to find this ginseng, so I left a circle of black powder on the ground!

I carefully scraped this layer of black powder together with wood chips and put it in a small bag!

"Brother Yan, what do we need to find?" Shi Haiyang asked blankly.

"I'm looking for the black pink butterfly I saw during the day..." I frowned and said, "Although Zhong Haishan is only in the Chinese medicine industry, it is said that when a person reaches the top level, he will definitely learn by analogy. He should have knowledge of many creatures in the biological world. He has researched and knew it, but he doesn't know about this black pink butterfly. He has to ask his friends at the specialized biological research institute. It can be seen that this black pink butterfly must be unusual. Even if it is not a black chrysalis, it is still very close to what we are looking for. It's gone!"

Shi Haiyang frowned and said, "Why don't we look for it separately? Hope this way is bigger!"

"Can you?" I looked suspiciously at Shi Haiyang. After all, I grew up in the mountains, and it is common for me to enter the mountains at night, but Shi Haiyang has no such experience. I'm still a little worried. During the recovery season from hibernation, it is said that there is a different kind of snake in the southeastern area of ​​Qiandong. It is extremely poisonous. If Shi Haiyang accidentally steps on the poisonous snake, it will be troublesome!

Shi Haiyang smiled lightly and said, "Of course there's no problem, if I'm timid about this, how can I run the business in the future? Brother Yan, didn't you say that you would let me help Sister Yun run the medical business in the future? Channels? I think this place can also be used as a purchasing point for us. If I am familiar with this place, maybe our company will become bigger and we can build a medicine field base here?”

I immediately looked at Shi Haiyang in amazement and said with a smile: "Yo, that's right, I have a foresight, that's fine... You look in the southeast direction, I'll look in the northwest direction, because if there are snakes on the mountain, they will be active. The law is exactly the opposite of the law of sunrise and sunset. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but the snakes come out at night, so you will not encounter the snakes traveling at night in the direction of the east, as long as you pay attention Step down, it should be fine, just shout or call me if you have anything!"

"Okay!" Shi Haiyang frowned slightly when he heard me talking about snakes, but he nodded quickly and agreed.

We started to look for two opposite directions with the location of the wild ginseng mining as the dividing line. The mountains in southeastern Guizhou have always been long, and the mountains in southeastern Guizhou are not high, but the terrain is difficult to walk, especially when encountering Get in the way of some jagged rocks!

I walked slowly by myself, and unknowingly I found a nearby cold pool. There was a cave on the other side of the cold pool. There was a pool of water that did not seem to be deep at the entrance of the cave. The surroundings were silent. The temperature here is significantly cooler than anywhere else by at least a few degrees!

I walked over and squatted in front of Hantan, and when I took the flashlight of my mobile phone and looked into the cave, suddenly a clear voice shouted from behind me: "What the **** are you doing?"

I was startled, Huo Ran turned around and looked over, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Shui Sheng? Why did you follow me?"

"I'm not Shuisheng, I'm Shuisheng's sister Shuiyue!" The woman who looked almost like Shuisheng walked towards this side, and I realized that the corners of her eyes were a little more than that of Shuisheng. The fine lines of silk, and her eyes are not as pure as Shui Sheng!

However, rather than being impure, it is better to say that she showed a hint of amorous feelings inadvertently after being a young woman!

I suddenly realized that the woman I met at the foot of the mountain was no longer Shui Sheng. It should be Shui Sheng's sister Shui Yue. Did she follow her?

"Why are you following us?" I asked, staring at Shuiyue suspiciously.

"My sister told me about the encounter with you on the mountain after dinner in the evening, and said that you dug a ginseng and would help her go to school. I was worried that she would be fooled, so I went up the mountain to have a look, and I happened to meet you when I came down the mountain. "..." Shui Yue frowned and stared at me, and said vigilantly, "You guys are sneaking around, what are you looking for? It looks like you have bad intentions. Are you lying to my sister?"

I couldn't help laughing and crying: "What did I lie to her for?"

"Who knows, all the businessmen outside of your place are very cunning. The price of buying medicinal materials from our side is tens of dollars for a few cents of medicine. When we go out for treatment when we are sick, we need to pay for every cold. Hundreds of dollars, isn't it all because of you businessmen?" Shuiyue stared at me indignantly and said.

"You're wrong——" I looked at Shuiyue and explained, "I myself lived in the Miao village in the mountains for more than ten years, so I can't count it like this. , pick it yourself, pick it up and sell it, of course it looks cheap, but you are in the countryside and the mountains, and you can’t sell it. Others rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, how can they buy you? Although the price of the drug dealer is low, it needs a lot of money. It is purchased and then transported out. There are labor stay fees and transportation costs. After it is shipped out, it is processed by the factory. If you want to sell it to a regular hospital, you have to get through the relationship, and you have to spend money everywhere. Naturally A tree with a few cents in the sky and white in the sky turned into a few dollars in the end!"

Shuiyue was dumbfounded and said, "Then tell me... You sneaked to the forbidden area of ​​our clan in such a dark night, what's your intention?"

"Forbidden land?" I said in amazement, "Is this your forbidden land? I don't know!"

"Our clan only comes here every year during festivals to take the water from the pool here and share it with everyone. The old man in our clan said that drinking the water here all the year round will not make you sick, so are you drinking our holy water? Do you want to steal water?" Shuiyue glared at me vigilantly.

I looked at Shuiyue in astonishment, then frowned and looked at the cold pool in front of me, wondering if I could inadvertently break into the forbidden area of ​​other people's clan? I read the news before and I heard that some mountain springs in some places contain some special minerals that can strengthen the body, but I didn't expect to encounter such mountain springs here, and I couldn't help but feel a little stunned!

Shuiyue sneered: "Don't pretend, you can fool my sister, you can't fool me, you must be thinking of the holy water in our clan, people used to steal water often secretly, I can't think of you He looks so young and yet so bad!"

I can't laugh or cry: "I really don't..."

But at this time, Shuiyue suddenly frowned, clutching her stomach and bending over, a painful expression quickly appeared on her face!
