Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

Fourth, it sounds the same as death, and has a bad meaning, so most people don't say it directly when they meet Sipiye, they just say stick, and the other party understands it.

"Take it." Xu Shiyan hesitated, but decided to dig.

Alone, the procedures that should be followed have to be followed, so I did all the work of shouting mountains and mountains.

Decided to dig this ginseng tree, first took out a red rope tied with copper coins, which is the mallet lock, and locked the mallet.

Wrap the red thread of the mallet lock on the ginseng stalks, and put the copper coins at both ends on the Sobao sticks or branches that have been inserted into the ground to prevent the mallet from escaping.

Ginseng is a plant, so it will not run away naturally.

This is mainly due to the complex terrain with high mountains and dense forests, the mixture of ginseng and grass is difficult to distinguish, and it is easy to miss without marking.

The mallet is locked with a red rope, which is very conspicuous in a piece of green, making it easy for people to lock the target.

Chapter 19 Black Blind

The mallet locked the ginseng, and then built a fire in the upwind place, one to smoke mosquitoes, and the other to drive away wild animals, so as not to be disturbed when digging ginseng.

It had just rained, and the woods were wet, and it was evidently not easy to light a fire.

However, people who are often in the mountains and forests also have a way to deal with it.

There is a kind of tree called green straw, the trunk is green, the skin is smooth, and there is a thin layer of white wax on it.

It is easy to find such a tree, cut it down and chop it into thin strips, and use birch bark to ignite it.

When the fire is hotter, add other firewood, cover it with wormwood, press the fire head to suffocate thick smoke, and float along the wind to the location of the ginseng. At this time, the ginseng can be dug.

Digging ginseng is called lifting a mallet to show respect.

Lifting the mallet is not an easy job, it requires experienced people, and usually the ginseng will do it by himself.

Xu Shiyan has only one elder brother, so don't be too careless, do it yourself.

Use your hands to remove the grass and leaves around the ginseng, and open the "plate".

Ginseng is often entangled with tree roots and grass roots, and the roots must be sawed off with a "quick saw".

The main reason is that the roots are elastic and cannot be cut with an axe, as it is easy to damage the ginseng.

Thin tree roots and grass roots should be cut with "quick scissors".

Clean out the plate and expose the soil. At this time, take out the "quick sticks", usually made of deer bones, and push the soil layer.

Start digging from the reed head under the ginseng stalk until all the roots of the ginseng are exposed.

Any tiny roots cannot be cut off, otherwise the price of ginseng will drop when selling.

Every root of ginseng that has been cleaned must be covered with loose soil at any time to keep water.

This is a very labor-intensive job, and the hands of the ginseng must be steady, not in a hurry, and take it slowly bit by bit.

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan has a stable temperament and is careful in doing things, which is the most suitable one.

Although it is just a four-leaf tree, and the main root is only as thick as a finger, it will take a long time to dig it out of the soil completely.

Xu Shiyan was alone, and there was no one to replace him when he was tired, so he could only sit on the ground and smoke a cigarette for a while before continuing.

After spending a long time, the ginseng tree was finally lifted out completely.

Although this ginseng tree is not too big, its shape is extremely beautiful.

The reed head is the size of a bean, with a twisted mouth, a slender neck, and two beards on the shoulders that look like arms.

The main body is as thick as an index finger and as long as three fingers, and then there are two legs. The ginseng whiskers are about half a foot long and covered with pearl bumps.

Very good, although the weight is not too heavy, at most one or two heavy, but it is definitely top grade, based on the purchase price of this year, it is estimated that it can sell for two hundred yuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiyan couldn't help shaking his head. If it was put in 40 years, it might be sold for tens of thousands.

Well, it's useless to think so much.

Xu Shiyan shook his head, went to the side and took off a large piece of fresh moss to lay it out, spread the ginseng on it, covered some original soil, and wrapped the ginseng carefully with the moss.

Moss is soft, moist, breathable, and not easy to dry. It is used to wrap ginseng, which will not damage ginseng, and is also good for freshness. It can keep the parameters of the ginseng unchanged every month.

Then peel off a large piece of birch bark, wrap the moss in it, use the catalpa bark as a rope, and tie it carefully.

After the ginseng package is packed and put away, the "omen" must be cut.

Find a red pine tree near the place where the ginseng was unearthed, and use a knife and an axe to cut off a foot-square bark in the direction of the ginseng at a position that is one rope stick high from the ground.

Carve marks on the smooth trunk, engrave the number of people on the left, how many people, and the size of ginseng on the right, and carve how many leaves.

After the engraving is over, the omen has to be "washed".It is to use fire to burn off the pine oil flowing out from around the omen, so that the omen can still be seen clearly after decades.

The purpose of chopping off the "omen" is to commemorate the ginseng produced here, and to remind people in the future that after decades, someone may find ginseng near the old omen.

Of course, in order to prevent others from knowing the size of the ginseng they dug up, some people record it in other ways, or adjust the direction of the omen.

After finishing all this, Xu Shiyan casually scattered the ginseng seeds he had picked up nearby.

Fangshan people also pay attention to sustainable development, sowing ginseng seeds, maybe many years later, there will be more ginseng here.

Busy and busy, most of the day has passed, but fortunately, I have gained something, regardless of the size, it is worth comforting.

Xu Shiyan didn't miss it any more, he packed up his things and returned to Diguanzi.

For the next three days, Xu Shiyan wandered around here, but found nothing.I only saw an Erjiazi tree in the middle, but it was too small, so I let it go.

Xu Shiyan felt a little depressed after three consecutive days with nothing to gain.

When he was working in the Daan Coal Mine in his previous life, he heard from his family members that a group of people from the village went to the mountains to release the mountain, and they met a big tree, which sold for nearly 1000 yuan.

The 1000 yuan in this year is not a small sum, not to mention the Dongjiangyan Brigade, even the Daying Commune knows about it.

He couldn't remember such a sensational thing wrongly. He found it near the fairy cave, and he saw that omen later.

Why has he been wandering around for five days, why didn't he see it?Shouldn't the co-author make this fortune?No luck with this?

Fangshan was originally a matter of luck, and it is estimated that he did not have this kind of fortune.

Alas, in another two days, if he still can't meet him, he should go home. I guess his wife should be anxious to wait at home.

Xu Shiyan relieved himself, and regained his spirits. Holding the Suobao stick in his hand, he kept beating the surrounding vegetation, and his eyes kept looking around.

There was silence in the mountain forest, except for the sound of the stick pushing the grass, and the sound of trouser legs rubbing against the branches and grass, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, there was a different sound behind him.

Xu Shiyan's back felt cold. Based on his years of hunting experience in his previous life, he dared to conclude that there must be some wild beast following behind him.

Xu Shiyan didn't dare to make too much movement, and turned his body slightly to look back.

When he saw the situation behind him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, well, I have to explain it here if I have trouble today.

Two or 300 meters away from behind Xu Shiyan, a huge black animal was wandering towards this side.

That body shape, that walking posture, don't even think about it, he must be black and blind.

Hei Xiazi is a local name for the black bear. This thing has poor eyesight and black hair all over, so it is called Hei Xiazi.

Don't look at this thing's poor vision, but its sense of smell is very sensitive, and it's so powerful that it can shatter a cow's shoulder blades with a slap.

This is a guy who can fight a tiger. He moves quickly, has a strong bite, and has rough skin and thick flesh that is resistant to beatings.

Fuck, this luck is more than bad, it's almost memorized.

Xu Shiyan secretly regretted that he shouldn't have dug up the four leaves.It makes sense for the elders to stay.

While thinking about it, the blind man with his head down suddenly sniffled, then raised his head and looked in Xu Shiyan's direction.

Xu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, he was stunned to control the urge to turn around and run away, and moved back gently and slowly.

Chapter 20 Danger

I met a black blind man in the mountains, how can I save my life?

Some people say that running in circles confused the blind man.

Hehehe, let alone a black blind man chasing after him, even if there is no one, the woods are overgrown with dead branches and fallen trees, let someone try running in it?

Heixiazi has lived in the woods since he was a child, and that is his home field. Do you want to make him faint?Can you?

Some people also said that lying on the ground and pretending to be dead can fool the blind man.The black blind man just has poor eyesight, not stupid.

Don't care if you are really dead or pretend to be dead, just sit on it with one buttocks, and then do a few more bumps.

Three to four hundred catties of weight are pressed on the person, and if they are bumped twice, the internal organs will be crushed, right?Those who pretend to be dead are also dead.

Whether you can live when you meet a black blind man depends mainly on your luck.

If you are lucky, you will meet someone who is full. At most, you can lick it and slap it. If you get hurt, you might be able to save your life.

If you meet a hungry person, or someone who has been hurt and has a grudge, then don't think about it, you won't survive even if you run.

Xu Shiyan didn't know if the black blind man in front of him was hungry or not, but he knew very well that he must not provoke this big guy in front of him now.

Don't talk about being cowardly at this time, if he has a semi-automatic in his hand, even if it's a trick, he would dare to take care of this guy today.

No gun, just an axe, let him fight a big black bear weighing more than 300 kilograms, crazy?

It's better to move carefully, if you don't anger this big guy, maybe you can save your life.

It's a pity that Xu Shiyan's luck really doesn't look good.

Just as he was slowly retreating without a trace, the big black bear suddenly exerted strength and rushed towards Xu Shiyan.

Xu Shiyan pulled something out of his pocket, threw it at the black bear, then turned and ran.

What Xu Shiyan threw out were the pancakes that Su Anying made for him at home, and the rations he brought out.

The pancakes were sweet, and the black bear smelled the aroma of the pancakes, and was attracted by the pancakes.Taking advantage of this effort, Xu Shiyan jumped far away.

But the black bear only went to smell the pancakes, took a bite, probably not satisfied with the taste of the pancakes, and then chased after them.

Just after opening that little distance, it is nothing to the black bear at all, and I saw a black shadow in the woods, jumping up and down a few times, and it was not far from the running people in front.

Xu Shiyan also felt that the black blind man was chasing him, gritted his teeth and ran forward desperately, but no matter how much he ran, he couldn't run away from the big black bear behind him.

The black bear swooped violently, and it was about to throw Xu Shiyan down. If he fell down, Xu Shiyan would have to confess to being in the woods today.

At the critical moment, Xu Shiyan staggered, made a sharp turn, and ran towards a big pine tree next to him.

The pine tree was so thick that two people could hug it, but there weren't many weeds and shrubs around it.

Xu Shiyan started to circle around the pine tree, and the black bear behind him followed suit.

Xu Shiyan knew that spinning in circles was useless. People's physical strength was limited, and if they lost strength after a few laps, they would still be overtaken by the black bear.

So taking advantage of the time when the black bear was spinning around, Xu Shiyan jumped out again.

The black bear was having a good time circling around, but suddenly the person in front ran away, the big black bear was stunned for a moment, probably angry, it roared, and continued to chase.

This time, the black bear was even faster, and within a few strokes he caught up behind Xu Shiyan.

Xu Shiyan wanted to repeat the old trick, but there were no such suitable trees around.

Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground getting closer behind him, Xu Shiyan's heart also rose in his throat.

At this time, there is no other way out, but to fight recklessly.

Xu Shiyan gritted his teeth, grasped the ax in his hand cruelly, stopped his figure, and didn't care where he turned his head, and gave the black bear a blow.

Coincidentally, the black bear came right behind Xu Shiyan at this time, with its hind legs upright and its palm raised, and was about to give Xu Shiyan a blow.

Black bears have rough skin and thick flesh, especially their backs. They often scratch and itch on pine trees. The pine oil sticks to the fur and hangs some dirt and gravel, which cannot be penetrated by ordinary guns.

But the black bear's abdomen is different, especially the white pattern on the front chest, which is the most fragile.

The black bear stood up, its belly exposed, and Xu Shiyan turned around just at this time.The sharp ax in his hand slashed obliquely downward from the white pattern.

The ax was newly bought by Xu Shiyan. The ax was made in Dandong, and the steel mouth was well tempered, but he sharpened it to be extremely sharp before going out.

This time, Xu Shiyan exerted all his strength.

A person is at the critical moment of life and has great potential. This ax opened a deep slant obliquely from the black bear's white pattern to the abdomen.

The black blind man was seriously injured, and with a groan, he waved his big bear paw, and the sharp claws patted Xu Shiyan's shoulder.

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan had been on guard for a long time. The moment the ax hit, his body fell short.

Even so, he still couldn't escape completely, and suffered half a bear's paw.Fortunately, Xu Shiyan was wearing a thick leather jacket, which helped a little.
