This is a real primeval forest. Any form of felling of trees is strictly prohibited. People from nearby mountains can come in to collect trees, but they must take good care of them.

The ground is covered with thick humus, which is rich in nutrients but has poor water retention capacity. Ginseng seeds must be planted in the black soil layer and then covered with a thin layer of humus.

Erya worked very seriously and took good care of every seed.

Damei, Daya and Zhao Hua were digging in the front, while Liu Xia Lian and Erya were cleaning up the traces behind. There were no pits in the treated ground, and ginseng was planted.

Erya also used an iron chisel to carve a sloppy word "sister" on the stone next to her. Liu Xialian asked, "Erya, what are you doing?"

"We planted the ginseng in this area. When we come back here in a dozen years, we will know that it is the ginseng we planted when we see this sign."

"Erya is awesome. She can carve words now."

Zhao Yong said: "This place is only a dozen miles away from the village. It is very likely that it was dug up after only two or three years of growth."

Erya was a little worried: "Sister, what should we do? The crops we planted will be dug up by others."

"Don't worry, Erya. There's an old saying that goes, 'Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.' We planted the ginseng, it's wild, so it's normal for someone to find it a few years or even a dozen years later."

Erya was a little sad: "Is there any way to prevent others from digging? I want to plant it for more than ten years and then dig it myself."

Daya said: "This is difficult to do, unless you live here."

Arya was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want to live here. It's so scary at night."

Damei, who was digging ginseng, said, "This is easy. The forests in Wanshan Town have been contracted to individuals. They are not allowed to cut down trees, but they can plant ginseng under the forest, pick pine cones, and dig wild vegetables. If you really want to plant ginseng, you can lease thousands of acres of forests, plant as much as you want, mark the area around them, and hire people with guns to guard them."

Liu Xialian praised: "You are really beautiful and have a lot of experience. I heard that the forest in the forest farm will soon be contracted out. They are all newly planted small red pines, which are relatively sparse. It is very suitable for planting ginseng under the forest. When the time comes, we will bid for it. If it is suitable, we will take over a piece and plant ginseng then."

Arya jumped so high: "Yeah, that's great."

Daya shook her head speechlessly: "You are only interested for a short time. You won't go after three days of planting. You sleep in every day. How can you plant ginseng?"

With more people working together, the work progressed quickly. It took about an hour to dig up more than a dozen young ginsengs and fill a large backpack with them, covering the bottom of the basket.

Everyone gathered in front of the big ginseng. Li Hu had almost dug up all the soil around it. The reed heads exposed above looked festive. It must have taken many years to grow into this.

Everyone praised her. Damei said, "When it comes to finding ginseng, my sister is the one that the mountain god takes care of the most."

Liu Xia Lian raised her wrist and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.

"I didn't expect the mountain god to give me face and find a big ginseng right away. I think it can live for 70 to 80 years, which is already very good. The forest here is too dense and we can't make a fire. Let's eat some cakes and go back to dig as soon as possible. We can still get home before dark in the afternoon."

"Okay, birds and animals are not tasty in this season, let's eat biscuits." Everyone took a break and ate biscuits, and the four hounds followed suit. Only Dahua was a lynx that couldn't eat vegetarian food. He ate a spicy noodle and caught a big pheasant. His ability to hunt small animals was completely superior to Dahuang, but he was too smart. He was good at scouting and exploring, but if there was any danger, he would run faster than a human.

As everyone was eating, they saw Da Huang's ears perked up and he started barking. An adult black bear actually came out from the bushes. This big black bear was really big, at least 500 kilograms, and more than a person's height when he stood up. At first, he looked very happy, as if he had found a delicious child, but his happiness did not last for more than three seconds, as he found that at least three Tai Nai summoners were aimed at him.

This long stick is the dream of all animals in Changbai Mountain. It doesn't need to be too much. Just one sound will make the food taste bad and the sleep unstable. The black bear was a little embarrassed. He rushed forward. Don't be funny, seven people and four dogs. He retreated, but he had to think twice.

Liu Xia Lian sat there without moving. Ever since she practiced the Qi training method in the ancient book, she has now reached the level where she can wave her hands to use coins as flying knives. Her perception has also become much more sensitive. She sensed the black bear from dozens of meters away, but she did not feel any danger, so she did not care.

This is a strong female bear. She seems to be in her prime. It is rare for her to grow so big. Bear skin, bear paws and bear gall are not available in this season. Forget it. We don’t hunt in spring.

Liu Xia Lian shook her hand and threw a cornmeal cake over. The black bear reacted very quickly. It took the cake and started eating it. Then it turned around and whooshed into the bushes.

Daya laughed out loud: "This black blind guy is really scary, hahahaha."

Zhao Yong touched his forehead and said, "I was also scared just now. I was careless when eating and didn't expect a beast to come. Fortunately, the hound found it early, otherwise it would have rushed over."

Liu Xialian said, "It's okay. After dinner, find a tree to climb up. There are too many trees here, and we can't keep watch on the ground."

Li Hu sighed: "The reputation of Hei Xia Zi Ridge is well-deserved. I heard that Da Qiangzi originally had hair, but was licked by a black bear and no longer has hair."

"Just listen to his nonsense. He is just bald due to hereditary diseases. Just look at his father and you will know he is lying."

Eating in the mountains is just to fill your stomach. I ate a few corn cakes and started working.

This time they switched places, Zhao Yong and Li Hu each found a place to stand guard. Daya and Zhao Hua quickly cleaned up the surrounding area, and Li Damei began to dig carefully.

Liu Xialian and Erya looked for a place to plant ginseng. They had a large bag of germinated seeds on them. It would rain occasionally in this season, so the survival rate was guaranteed. As for which ones would grow and which ones would not, that was not Liu Xialian's concern.

The progress was still very fast. Two hours later, Li Damei exclaimed: "It's stable. This one is guaranteed to be more than 800 grams. It's really exciting."

Liu Xia Lian also sighed: "What a pity, I don't have a mobile phone. If I had one, I would have taken a photo."

Da Mei was confused when she heard this: "What is a cell phone?"

"No, nothing. I mean a handheld camera. That thing is too big to carry into the woods."

Liu Xia Lian once again reminded herself to be highly vigilant and not to reveal her identity as a time traveler, as this would be very dangerous.

"Daya, Zhao Hua, you guys take a rest. Damei and I will dig the rest." Liu Xia Lian jumped into the pit, took a small shovel and started digging with Damei.

Daya opened the big wooden box and looked around for moist moss to put the treasure in later. This was another rare ginseng.
