Brother Xu sighed and said, "If all the ginseng pickers in Changbai Mountain were like us, then Changbai Mountain would be an eternal treasure house, and there would be endless ginseng to pick. What I hate most is that some people exhaust the resources and leave a big hole after digging. Later, it will be covered by grass and break two front teeth of others."

"Yes, we can't control others. We just need to do our best. This time we will go east and then come out of Wanshan Town to the ginseng market and buy some goods."

The group continued to set off, moving slowly forward. Although spring is not as dangerous as winter, there are still many risks. One of the most deadly ones is ticks. Especially for city dwellers who go into the mountains, they have no antibodies in their bodies, and once bitten, they are at risk of infection. Children in forest areas go into the mountains from a young age, and they have been bitten many times, so they have antibodies and the probability of infection is relatively low.

Liu Xialian's team is different. They are the chief accountants of the carriage company, the restaurant, and the clothing store. My mother's cousin Xu Guozhen is a barefoot doctor who is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. He boils herbs in a clay pot, puts them in a spray bottle, and sprays them every few hours. Basically, no ticks dare to get on them.

After searching for more than two hours, I harvested three trees that were more than ten years old and one that was more than thirty years old.

Erya said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."

Liu Xia Lian looked at her watch and said, "I was so busy digging ginseng that it's already one o'clock in the afternoon. Let's find a good place to light a fire and cook."

Xu Shiba used the telescope to search for a while, pointed to a cliff in front and said, "There is a cave over there. Let's go in the cave and rest for a while."

Li Hu coveted Xu Shiba's telescope: "Brother Xu, can you let me take a look? This thing is so powerful, it can see for several miles."

"This is a Type 62 telescope. A comrade-in-arms came to see me a few days ago and gave it to me. However, this is a trade version, not for military use. But it's OK, and the picture is quite clear."

Li Hu took the mirror and looked at it carefully, screaming: "Oh my god, it's so clear, I saw two rabbits fighting hundreds of meters away."

Xu Xiong wanted to see it too, so he took it and looked at it: "It's really a good thing, an 8x32 telescope with a magnification of more than times, it's a good thing."

Liu Xia Lian almost burst out laughing: "The parameter eight is the multiple, and 32 is the aperture of the objective lens."

Erya was waiting anxiously beside him: "Xiao Xiongxiong, I want to see it too."

Xu Xiong looked at it for a while and then gave it to Erya. Erya looked at it with great interest for a long time before returning it to Xu Shiba.

The group slowly headed towards the cave, searching along the way, but found nothing. Only Dahua was quick-witted and caught a hare from the snow den, eating it all by herself.

After eating, only a piece of skin was left. Dahui was so angry that he cursed and wanted to eat it, but was afraid that he could not do it.

The cave is quite large, about two meters high, three meters wide, and about seven or eight meters deep. It is a temporary residence for hunters, with a stone stove and firewood. There are words written in chalk on the stone cave: urination and defecation are strictly prohibited, and violators will return empty-handed for the rest of their lives.

This spell is too poisonous. We all go into the mountains to hunt. Why do we risk our lives to go into the mountains? Isn't it just to have a good harvest? If we come back empty-handed, who can bear it?

Li Hu set up an iron pot and cooked. Xu Shiba fed the horses grass and feed. Daya and Erya sat there eating snacks. Liu Xialian was searching the cave with a flashlight. Suddenly, she saw something hidden on the stone wall and said, "Damei, come and help me with the flashlight."

Liu Xia Lian pulled out the dagger and tapped it on the stone. Surprisingly, there was a crack. She pried it out with the dagger.

"Sister, can your eyes see through things? How do you know there is something hidden here?"

This secret cannot be told, even to best friends.

"That's impossible. I just saw that this stone is different from the others. It's obvious that it was put there by humans."

When I opened it, there was a small stone cave, and inside was something wrapped in leather. When I opened it again, there was something wrapped in oil paper. When I opened it again, there was something wrapped in red silk.

"This is playing with nesting dolls. If you do it again, I will throw it away."

He opened it again and a yellowed booklet appeared in front of him, with three words written on it: Hu Family Swordsmanship.

When you open it, it's all in traditional Chinese characters. The first half records the breathing method, and the back is the sword technique.

It advocates using ingenuity to overcome strength, and the combination of text and pictures can make one understand about 70% of it.

Damei took a look and showed no interest, so she went to help light the fire.

Liu Xia Lian put the book away, sat down cross-legged, and followed the breathing method described in the book. After just a few breaths, the feeling of fatigue disappeared instantly. She only felt a warm current running through her body. She didn't dare to practice anymore for fear of something going wrong.

After taking several blood spirit fruits a few months ago, my strength increased greatly. My body weighing more than 100 kilograms now has a strength of 1,200 to 1,300 kilograms. However, I always felt that I couldn't control this strength. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was because I was not breathing properly.

Put away the sword manual and explore further inside.

"Oh my God, there is a big knife." Liu Xia Lian's scream called Daya over.

Daya said, "Sister, I'll do it. I'll take care of this kind of thing."

Daya tried with the big iron mace and found nothing wrong, then she reached in and slowly took out a leather-wrapped broadsword with a shark skin scabbard inlaid with copper nails. The handle was only 20 centimeters long and the blade was about 80 centimeters long. When she pulled it out, a cold light flashed in the dark cave.

Xu Shiba was surprised and said, "What a good knife! This is a good knife that can cut iron like mud."

Liu Xia Lian examined the knife carefully. It was about 15 or 16 centimeters wide, with a thick back and a thin blade. It probably weighed about 40 pounds.

"Could this be the one sold by Yang Zhi in Water Margin?" Thinking of this, he took a strip of roe deer meat and rubbed it against the knife edge, and the whole strip of meat broke instantly.

There is a word "Hu" engraved on the handle of the knife. I think this is the surname of the person who hid the knife back then.

Li Hu gave a thumbs up and praised: "I admire Sister Xia Lian. She is so lucky. She can find good things while resting in the cave."

Xu Shiba quickly arranged for everyone: "This is probably hundreds of years old, it should be a cultural relic, don't mention it, don't talk about it, it will bring trouble to yourself if you tell others."

Li Damei understood instantly: "What cultural relic? This is Sister Xia Lian's family heirloom, passed down from our ancestors."

We are all family, so no one talks nonsense.

After cooking some dried roe deer meat and eating a simple meal, Liu Xia Lian arranged: "Just walking is not a solution. This cave is good. Let's search carefully nearby to see if we can find any treasure. We'll stay here tonight."

"Okay, let's find it."

The group began to search around the cave. This was a sunny hillside with sparse woods, which was most suitable for growing ginseng.

This season is much better than the winter when there is snow. In just half an hour, Xu Xiong also found one. He dug it out and saw that it was not big, about ten years old.
