Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

The environment here is similar to Changbai Mountain, after all, they both belong to the Northeast. Dahua, Dahuang and Datou, a cat and a dog, led the charge. The combination of the two of them can easily find poisonous snakes on the road. The Northeast is rich in resources, and there are also many poisonous snakes in the Northeast. Although there are not as many as in the south, there are still many. After walking 500 meters, they found three spicy strips, one of which Dahua ate, and the remaining two were caught by Zhao Yong with a clamp and thrown away.

The mountain stream was rushing, and the group moved forward along the trail.

Li Damei sighed: "Why is there so much water in this mountain? The streams are swollen."

"Luckily it happened now. If it was twenty days ago, this stream would have washed people away. Be careful and don't be careless."

However, there are so many things in the mountains during this season, including wood ear mushrooms and various wild mushrooms densely packed on the dead tree trunks. It's a pity that people don't pick them, otherwise they would definitely not be able to fit into several large packages.

We searched for more than three hours and found three ginsengs that were about 20 years old. At noon, we had some sesame seed cakes with meat, and in the afternoon we searched for more than two hours and found a ginseng that was more than 10 years old.

Zhao Yong was a little discouraged: "The Greater Khingan Range is far inferior to the Changbai Mountains. We have spent so much time to find only three trees that are 20 years old and one that is 10 years old. Let alone the gas money, we can't even afford the food on the way."

Li Shaoling rested against a tree and said with a smile, "You are just getting started, kid. When I was young, I went to the mountains and I couldn't get a ginseng that was more than ten years old in three consecutive days. I had no choice but to pick mushrooms and carry them home in baskets. But I mistakenly identified the mushrooms and ate poisonous ones. I had to dance at home all night."

"It's okay, don't worry about the returns. If you come to the mountains safely and leave happily, that's a great success. As for the harvest, it's all the reward from the mountain god. The three major mountains in Northeast China are Daxing'anling, Xiaoxing'anling and Changbai Mountain. In terms of scale and area, Daxing'anling is undoubtedly the first. It's thousands of miles long and wide, and it's bigger than you can imagine. So there are so many natural treasures here. It's just a matter of whether you are lucky enough to get them. Let's eat some jerky and continue working. The mountains will not let down the diligent."

Li Damei said: "I have seen it in textbooks. It is a huge area. The whole Heilongjiang seems to be the Greater Khingan Range."

Everyone took out the roe deer jerky. The meat was like spicy noodles, crunchy and filling. The jungle consumed a lot of energy, and if you didn't eat something solid, you would be unable to walk after a while.

"Let's adjust the formation. Daya and I will follow behind, Erya and Damei will follow. Zhao Hua will coordinate in the middle. Dayong and Li Shaoling will not have to work in the back. They will be on full-time alert. Be careful in the treetops, tree trunks, and bushes. Watch out for poisonous snakes, leopards, and poisonous insects."

The team started again. Dahua was eating with his mouth full of oil. Yimao was running in the front, followed by Dahuang who was on high alert.

After leaving the dense forest, the view in front of us suddenly opened up. There was a large hillside with some sparsely growing red pines. The slope was at least 20 degrees and there was not much water. There was also a patch of blueberries growing nearby. The temperature here was low and the wild blueberries in Changbai Mountain were ripe, but those here were still green, attracting a large number of birds to come and eat.

Liu Xialian suddenly found a big ginseng next to the bushes in front: "Everyone, look at what this is. I want to ask you if this ginseng is good and whether it has a vintage."

Damei was overjoyed and shouted, "This ginseng is so good. It takes at least a hundred years to grow." She took two steps at a time and tied it up with a red string, fearing that it would run away.

In fact, it is just a legend that ginseng can run away. Tying the red string is more of a declaration of ownership. In Liu Xialian's mountain-climbing team, everyone else serves her. In layman's terms, Liu Xialian is the boss and everyone else is an employee. No matter how much is collected, it must be handed over to Liu Xialian for sale, and then the money is divided according to each person's contribution.

But it is completely different for ordinary people. For example, if four people go to the mountains to dig, and they are all individuals, and suddenly they find a ginseng, there will be a huge disagreement at this time, especially in the deep mountains and old forests. Some people can't resist the temptation and do evil things. It is not uncommon for people to die for a ginseng, so the team going to the mountains has agreed on a rule: hang a red rope, and whoever hangs the red rope first owns the ginseng. As for not being asked to help dig, at most they can get a share of the hard-earned money, and how much is decided is up to the person who hangs the red rope.

Li Damei used a machete to knock off the leaves and started digging with a shovel. Soon, the reeds appeared.

Liu Xialian saw that it was safe. This ginseng was at least fifty years old. If she sold it to Uncle Chen, she would get more than a thousand yuan. If she went to Wanshan Town to buy a fine wooden box, wrapped it in yellow satin, and sold it to a southern city, people who didn't know the market would believe her if she said it was a hundred years old. Ten thousand or eight thousand was not a big deal. Wouldn't the gas money come out?

Zhao Hua went over to take over the rough digging from Li Damei and cleaned the surrounding soil first. Ginseng is quite overbearing and consumes a lot of soil fertility. There are not many weeds around, so it is not difficult to clean up.

Daya also learned some skills from Damei. With the three of them helping out, Liu Xia Lian basically had no problems.

Erya said, "Sister, look how beautiful this place is. There are also beautiful red fruits over there. Let's go pick some to eat."

In mid-August, when wild fruits are on the market, this should be a raspberry, it is red and looks very beautiful.

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

"I'll clear the way for you."

Erya held a shield in one hand and a mace in the other, clearing the way for Liu Xia Lian. The two of them soon reached the top of the mountain. It was indeed a raspberry, covered with thorns. If you accidentally scratched it, it would leave a bloody mark.

"Look, I'm trying to alert the snake by beating the grass, and frighten the tiger by knocking the mountain." Arya actually said two idioms in one breath, and then took the steel mace and smashed the surroundings a few times. Still not at ease, she threw a few stones into the raspberry bushes.

"Erya, there's no snake, eat it without worry."

Erya picked a few purple fruits and handed them to Liu Xialian without eating them herself: "Sister, you eat first."

"Okay, Erya is really good. Where did you learn these idioms? Who taught you?"

"Xu Xiong installed a big radio for me. When you and Daya were out, I listened to it every day at home. I learned these two words from that."

"You don't have any money at home, how are you going to pay?"

"I picked mushrooms and gave him a bag of mushrooms. He said that was enough."

In fact, it is really enough. Dried mushrooms are 70 or 80 cents per pound, and a bag of mushrooms costs at least ten yuan.

"Okay, most of what's on the radio is correct, but some is false. Be careful to distinguish when you listen. If you have any questions, be sure to tell me and Arya, okay."

"Okay, sister, don't worry."

Raspberries are delicious. Liu Xia Lian ate more than a dozen, and Erya ate dozens.

At this time, Liu Xia Lian looked up at the cliff and saw that the woods two miles away were tilted and the birch trees were scattered, as if a huge rock had rolled over.
