In the middle of the night, the two got up and replaced the previous two.

At night, the calls of various animals came from the dark forest, one after another, and the sounds were ear-piercing.

And the most is the cry of frogs.

the next morning.

Just after dawn, everyone got up.

At this time, the woods are shrouded in mist, and there are birds and other animals singing everywhere, as if you are in a fairyland.

Some people went to fetch water from the creek and came back to boil it for drinking water.

Zhou Xiaochuan took a look, he is not afraid of parasites!

Then everyone took a piece of dry food and gnawed there, drinking boiled water while gnawing.

Sitting next to Zhang Heping, Zhou Xiaochuan asked with a strange expression, "Brother Zhang, you don't want to stay in the forest farm, why are you here?"

"Oh, the wheat is harvested over there, and the ginseng is already being dug. If I have nothing to do, I will follow."

"When to go back?"

Zhang Heping shook his head, "They said it will be all right in a few days, and they will go back after digging up ginseng."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled, "Go back when you dig it? Just dig one?"

"Well, almost! But it's not certain."

Zhang Heping's words made him feel strange for a while.

The mobilizing crowd came here, even the camping place was set up, and they went back after digging one?

But he didn't ask.

After breakfast, Huang Linlin asked a few people, "Is everything all right? If it's all right! Let's go! Try to go back in one day!"

Zhang Heping asked Zhou Xiaochuan, "Are you all right?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, "Well, I'm fine."

Seeing that everyone was done, Huang Linlin greeted everyone and went to the hillside together.

...

hey~~~

In a blink of an eye, it was August again, and gangs went to release the mountains.

The copper coins are tied around the belt, and two large copper coins are tied in the middle.

Suobao stick, in your hand, pull the wormwood and watch carefully.

Seeing Bangchui shouting loudly, he hurriedly tied the red ginseng on it.

...

Walking on the road, the yellow linden forest held a wooden stick tied with a red string, and sang songs while beating the grass.

An hour later, everyone stopped at the foot of a hill.

"Come, come, take the master's house."

Huang Linlin told the others to find some more regular stones from the side and build a simple small house.

On the other hand, he pinched three branches that were about the same size and thin, and inserted them in front of the small house.

Then he yelled at the people next to him:

"Kneel down, everyone!"

"Kowtow to the old man, let the old man bless us to go up the mountain to get the big ginseng!"

After hearing the words, several people knelt down in front of the stone.

Words to bless them with great ginseng were muttering in their mouths.

Zhou Xiaochuan was also curious while watching this scene.

Never seen this battle.

Fortunately, the two of them were not allowed to kneel down, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Zhang Heping next to him explained in a low voice.

What they worship is old men, people and mountain gods.

The old man said he was a mountain god, but in fact it was Sun Liang, a veteran who came to Fangshan from Shandong for four hundred years. He died in Changbai Mountain in order to save his brother Fangshan.

After being mythological, this custom gradually came into being.

There is this ceremony, one is to bless you to get the big ginseng, and the other is to keep you safe.

After the ceremony, the yellow linden forest greeted the crowd and walked up the mountain.

While walking, Zhang Heping was also spreading the knowledge and some interesting things here to him in a low voice.

Ginseng was once the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

It is strictly forbidden to dig ginseng among the people, so digging ginseng has always been regarded as a secret activity.

In order to deceive people, many code words have been formed among the people.

Those who pick ginseng call it Fangshan or driving up the mountain, and ginseng is called Bangchui, and this saying has continued to this day.

A team of several people is called the Fangshan Gang.

Head is the leader of Fangshan

Among these few people, Huang Linlin, who was once called Erdan, is the leader of these people.

It's not easy to be a head. To be familiar with the terrain, you have to observe the shape of the mountain, the tops of trees and grass, and judge which hills will have ginseng.

Moreover, to lead people into the mountains, we must also lead people out.

Can't leave empty handed.

Otherwise, you are not a qualified leader.

When the crowd came to the hillside, Huang Duanlin arranged the positions for a few people. The people pulled apart, two or three meters away from each other, and then the crowd walked slowly up the mountain side by side.

As he walked, he pulled the grass with a wooden stick tied with a red string in his hand, and carefully observed whether there were ginseng in the grass.

No one in the group spoke.

And Zhang Heping brought Zhou Xiaochuan to the side, not in the same team as them.

Then he explained to Zhou Xiaochuan in a low voice.

It's called row stick

The head is called the head stick, the person in the middle is called the waist stick, and the outermost one is called the side stick.

The head stick and the side stick are responsible for leading the way, controlling the direction and rhythm of the whole team, and preventing getting lost.

Ginseng bears fruit in this season, known as the Red Hammer City.

Finding ginseng is also known as pressing hills.

Rather drop a mountain than drop a brick. For the sake of concentration, nonsense is not allowed during the whole process.

In order to find ginseng, but also to prevent the poisonous snakes in the grass from being bitten.

Since there are rules.

There must be a penalty for that.

As a punishment, after seeing something shouted out, you have to carry it on your back.

For example, if you call a mushroom, then you have to carry the mushroom on your back.

This is considered lucky. If you see a stone and call it a stone, then you have to carry the stone on your back.

What's even more unlucky is that when you meet a snake, if you call it a snake, you have to carry the snake on your back.

Zhang Heping smiled at him in a low voice: "So, don't talk for a while, or it will be bad to affect others."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, I know, but are we just watching like this?"

Hearing his words, Zhang Heping smiled and untied the red rope from the wooden stick in his hand.

Tear it in half and hand him half, "Find a strong stick and tie it on. Let's go to the side station and look for it. Whoever finds it will own it!"

After finishing speaking, he **** half of his red string again.

"Okay, let's do as the Romans do!"

Zhou Xiaochuan took the red rope and smiled, then looked around, found a low bush that was as thick as a thumb, and broke off the trunk.

Remove the head and roots, and peel off the skin.

Tie the red string to it.

Near their team, the two learned to look for it.

Zhou Xiaochuan was bored and pulled a stick in the grass, picking up a snake from time to time.

There are so many snakes here!

After working for half a day, it was almost time for lunch, and everyone got nothing.

Zhou Xiaochuan was eating the tortilla in his hand, thinking that when this goes on, he will have to find it!

Zhang Heping next to him saw the pancake in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand.

Then he asked strangely: "Have you not eaten dry food these days?"

Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he reacted and said with a smile: "Oh, I have never been willing to eat the cornmeal I brought. I usually hunt small animals here to eat, because I am afraid that I will not be able to hunt prey after eating all the food. .”

Hearing this, Zhang Heping said, "If I had known earlier, I would have come here with you."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, then changed the subject and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, how long will they stay here? When will we go back?"

"They probably will stay here for more than half a month, but if they dig up a big ginseng, someone will send it back first, and then I will go back with them."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, and listened to the chatting of those people in Huanglinlin.

At this time, Bu Xun Shan, people also began to talk.

But most of them are listening and imparting some knowledge and some interesting things to those people.

Zhou Xiaochuan listened by the side, and it can be regarded as being popularized.

Because ginseng is afraid of strong light, ginseng generally grows in a three-dimensional environment of vegetation, low shrubs and tall trees.

This kind of environment is shaded and transparent, airtight but not closed.

Fangshan is looking for ginseng based on this characteristic. And ginseng likes to live with linden trees.

Therefore, Fangshan people also have their own formulas: Three ya and five leaves, back to the sun and face to the shade, if you want to come to me, the linden tree will find you.

"The places suitable for Nagano wild ginseng are on the western and eastern slopes."

"When the mallet is mature, it will attract many rats and birds, so that there will be poisonous snakes nearby to prey on it, so when you encounter ginseng, don't take it lightly. Don't forget the rules when you get excited."

The others nodded frequently.

He also talked about some myths and legends, such as the ginseng girl who can run nine hills a day, hiding from the mountain people.

Another example, as the old saying goes: there is ginseng on the bottom, and purple gas on the top.

It means that where there is ginseng, purple light will be seen.

Zhou Xiaochuan listened with gusto, and felt that these were more interesting than the ginseng he dug from the mountains.

For the legend of Ziguang, he may understand the reason.

Dispersion phenomenon chant.

The growth environment of ginseng is high humidity. In the case of high humidity in mountainous areas, fog will form, and sunlight will form dispersion phenomenon.

And purple light has the strongest penetrability. When standing under a tree and looking up, it will form a purple light phenomenon.

Therefore, where the conditions of this phenomenon occur, the possibility of ginseng growth is very high.

After lunch, several people continued to follow their original positions and began to continue their carpet search towards the mountain.

Zhou Xiaochuan was also bored for a while watching these people search slowly.

In the middle, two 4-year-old ginseng with three leaves were found, but he didn't say it.

He no longer has eyes for these.

"wooden club!"

Suddenly, the second person on the right shouted in surprise.

"How many leaves?"

Huang Linlin yelled when he heard the words.

"4 leaves!"

The person who answered was the person who had just discovered ginseng, and this person was the mouse on duty last night.

When everyone heard the news, they ran over happily.

He patted the nearby grass with a stick, and quickly took out a red rope with copper coins from his pocket.

Tie the rope to the ginseng branches and leaves. The other two ends are tied to the small saplings next to them.

After bowing three times and knocking down nine times, he saw Huang Linlin kneeling on the ground and taking out a red cloth bag from the basket behind his back.

After unfolding, there are a lot of things inside.

Bone picks, scissors, shovel, brush, and a short knife like a sickle.

After taking out the things, the yellow linden forest started to work there.

Start ginseng.

The time to dig ginseng is long and boring.

At this time, someone was already looking for moss nearby.

After more than half an hour, a ginseng that was as thick as a little finger with many whiskers was dug out.

Huang Linlin yelled in a low voice: "Where's the ginseng bun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him brought over the dry bark and moss he had just dug.

The yellow linden forest put the ginseng on the moss, grabbed a little soil from the pit, and wrapped the ginseng up.

After packing, put the things in one of the people's back baskets.

After the things were finished, the yellow linden forest took an ax and cut off a piece of bark twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide from the nearest big tree.

Then several traces were engraved on it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan asked strangely: "Head, what are you doing?"

He also saw this thing in the woods when he first came out of the big goose and entered Changbai Mountain. He guessed it was a mark, but he didn't know what it was for.

Huang Linlin smiled when he heard the words, "Oh, here are a few traces engraved, which means 8 people, and the trace next to it means that we found 4-leaf ginseng. Tell future generations that ginseng was dug here. You can find it in Look around."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

He understands that this descendant is the said descendant. If you come over after many years, there may be ginseng seeds that have fallen near the seeds and formed ginseng.

With a good start, everyone's mood is much better.

Everyone continued to search in other directions~lightnovelpub.net~ Half an hour later, the yellow linden forest stopped in front of a bush.

At this time, there was a trace of artificial breaking on the shrub.

Huang Linlin sighed, and said to the others: "Someone beat a kidnapper here, let's go to other places to see!"

Zhou Xiaochuan set his sights on Zhang Heping, meaning to explain.

The other party smiled when he saw this: "'Breaking Kidnapper' refers to these broken branches, which means that someone has already searched here.

This prevents repeated pressing!

Also, when you get lost, this is also a coordinate. "

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, no wonder he saw the people around him breaking off a branch at intervals.
