Ginseng disease, you

"Brother Qi, Lao Liu is a well-known ginseng picker in the Changxing Mountain area. If you want to go to the mountain to find fresh ginseng, it's best to go with him."

The person who spoke was a man in a brown gown. The man was not tall, his name was Sha Xi, he was slightly fat, he smiled so hard that he could not see his eyes, his lips were thick and his nose was fleshy, and he had a smooth and friendly appearance.But it is one of the snakeheads in Xingnan.

Snake head is also jargon, referring to a joint person who knows some feng shui.

The Xingnan Mountains have complex landforms, high in the west and low in the east, Changxing Mountain is the main peak, rich in vegetation, and there are many untouched virgin forests.It is rumored that Emperor Jin was buried in the place where the ancient Taiyu was buried during the Yubin Incident, which is today's Xingnan area.

Emperor Jin was the emperor of the Yu Kingdom. He ascended the throne as a young man. He first started in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The tomb of Emperor Jin is paved with gold, and the walls are made of bronze. The Tibetan talisman can be used to mobilize thousands of troops, and it also stores the source of all sources, so that you can live forever.

Although the rumors are not entirely credible, Feng Shui is especially true here.

Not only to find the treasures of the dragon veins, but also to protect themselves in the mountains.

Standing beside him is Lao Liu.

Lao Liu hooked his waist slightly, which was caused by long-term walking on the mountain road with a backpack on his back.Although he has been working in the mountains to collect ginseng for a long time, his complexion is dark, but his eyes are slightly sunken and sparkling.

The person Sha Xi was talking to was a young man who was tall and looked sickly. He was still wearing a sweater on a July day. The gray sweater was a bit empty on his body. He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. The slender legs were wrapped in jeans, and the whole body was tightly wrapped, with only a bit of pale skin showing through the gap between the hat and the mask.

"Just listen to Brother Xi," the young man said to Sha Xi, then nodded to Old Liu, "Then trouble Uncle Liu."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed again and again, the young man waved his hand apologetically, and turned his head sideways.

Lao Liu rubbed his hands, hesitated for a while and said, "This little brother looks sick, the mountain road is complicated and the altitude is high, I'm afraid it's..." Lao Liu

Liu paused, and then continued: "If you just want fresh ginseng, my baby and I just picked some from the mountain yesterday, and it hasn't had time to dry, why don't you go and have a look first?"

Sha Xi looked back and forth between old Liu and the young man, and said to the young man in a low voice: "Brother Qi, this... this disease on your body is really troublesome. Why don't you go and see if there is any 'fresh ginseng' in old Liu's house, brother?" Then ask someone to find it for you..."

The fresh ginseng in Sha Xi's mouth is different from that of Lao Liu, referring to ginseng essence.

The young man lowered his eyelashes, knowing that the 'fresh ginseng' was not easy to find, let alone appear in the homes of ordinary ginseng pickers, but it was not easy to refuse Lao Liu's kindness, thinking about it would only delay a day, so he agreed.

Old Liu's house is at the end of Liujia Village, the place closest to Changxing Mountain.

It's a big yard, the front yard is clean, with a lot of flowers and plants planted, unlike ordinary farmhouses that raise chickens and ducks free-range.Old Liu turned his head and explained to the young man: "This mallet is the most expensive, it doesn't like to smell chicken shit and duck shit."

Qi Shu nodded and followed Lao Liu to the backyard.

Lao Liu and his son obtained a lot of ginseng this time. In addition to the 22nd grade, they also got two Dengtaizi (four-year-old three-branched leaves), three fifth-grade leaves and one sixth-grade leaf.

The growth of ginseng is very interesting. The annual ginseng is composed of three leaflets, commonly known as Sanhuazi; the biennial ginseng is composed of five leaflets, shaped like a human hand, commonly known as horseshoe; Jiazi; four-year-old three branches, commonly known as Dengtaizi; five-year-old four branches, commonly known as Sipin (also known as batch, horse) leaves; six-year-old five branches, commonly known as five-pin leaves; there are also six palm-shaped leaves Those with compound leaves are commonly known as six-rank leaves, because ginseng will no longer grow leaves when they grow to six-rank leaves, so six-rank leaves are the most precious. (Note 1)

In some years, the old ginseng is mostly six-pin leaves.

Old Liu took out the ginseng with fifth-grade leaves and sixth-grade leaves, and Qi Shu shook his head after looking at it.

After all, ginseng essence has spiritual wisdom, so it has some means of self-protection, so it is normal that it is hard to find.Qi Shu was not disappointed either. Although the yin energy in his body was troublesome, it was not fatal for a while.

At this time, Jiang Zai rushed into the backyard, seeing Qi Shu and Sha Xi were a little surprised, Lao Liu glared at him, then turned his head and introduced to the two, "This is my youngest son, and his hands are very frizzy at such a young age." Then he reprimanded, "Didn't you see that there are guests?"

Jiang Zai dodged his father's hand on his back, and said in a low voice, "Oh no, I'm not in a hurry to tell you that ginseng that looks like a human is offered for [-] yuan online!"

[-] leaves of the fourth grade are really expensive, and those hundreds of thousands of ginsengs on the Internet are mostly of good or strange quality, and they are bought for collection.The appearance of that ginseng is indeed humanoid, but it doesn't look like wild ginseng.

Lao Liu felt that Jiang Zai's matter was not kind, so he cursed a few words in a low voice, and Jiang Zai muttered beside him.

On the other side, 22 is struggling to escape.

The window in Jiang Zai’s room was wide open, and a row of ginseng was hanging not far away. 22 was so frightened that both trembling with each other, thinking about the experience of the four legs, untied the red rope tremblingly, and hugged the table with both hands The legs went down, and before it could take a few steps, the wooden door opened with a "squeak."

22 rushed forward and lay down on the ground with his eyes closed, pretending to be dead.

"Why did it fall?" Jiang Zai muttered while bending over, "It's not too windy."

The young man passing by Jiang Zai's room paused, and saw the ginseng in Jiang Zai's hand from the side.

Jiang Zai lightly brushed the ashes from the ginseng floor with his hands, turned around and saw the young man's gaze, and said, "Brother Qi, look, this is the ginseng that someone offered [-] yuan to buy, and the old man won't let you sell it. How good it is, don't break it."

Qi Shu didn't reply, he clearly saw that the ginseng's face—let's call it face—wrinkled when it was dusted.

He echoed calmly, "Yes, this is beginning to take human form."

Liu Jiang swept away his frowning face when he heard his approval, and handed him the ginseng cheerfully, without showing any sign of fascination, "Yes, Brother Qi! Take a look!"

Qi Shu took it, went into the room, picked up the red string scattered on the table, and tied it around the waist of ginseng.

The ties were a bit heavy, and 22 tried his best not to hiss.Qi Shu laughed inaudibly, and said slowly while tying it up: "Don't all ginsengs have to be tied up, they won't be able to run away if they're tied up."

"Hey, Brother Qi, you still believe this! Isn't it all because you are afraid that others will pick it and make a mark!"

Qi Shu didn't pick it up, he lowered his head and carefully handled the red rope, then loosened it.

22 felt like he was going to die. The man rubbed his fingers against its face from time to time, sometimes touching its eyes.

22 was nervous and scared, and very itchy, wanting to scratch his face.Fortunately, the rope around the waist is not so tight, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable.

22 Counting silently in my heart, one bee, two bees, three bees... But after counting for a long time, I didn't feel that the man put him back.

This is too bad!

The room was quiet for a while, and 22 heard the man say, "Why don't you sell it to me for [-] yuan, I think this ginseng looks strange."

Liu Jiang opened his mouth wide and let out an ah, and quickly waved his hands, "Brother Qi, if you don't want that much money, the old man should scold me."

Qi Shu smiled and said that he likes to collect these things, but Liu Jiang refused to charge more. Finally, he touched his head embarrassedly and said that it should be collected according to the market price.

Qi Shu told Lao Liu that he couldn't enter the mountain due to urgent matters, and bought other fresh ginseng from Lao Liu's family, and flew back to Fushi that day.

22 stayed in the black box for more than ten hours, and it was a mountain road and an airplane, and I was already dizzy.

When the box was opened and thrown into the light, 22 turned over and froze suddenly.It squinted its eyes and let out a long sigh of relief when it saw that the man was opening other boxes without noticing it.

But before it finished exhaling, it inhaled back intact.

It saw the man pull the leaves off the heads of other fresh ginseng.

God! 22 Scared to death!

This man actually wants to pull out ginseng's hair!Could it be that his hair was pulled out too!

22 Thinking of the row of 'mummy' under the eaves, I feel that ginseng is really too difficult.

It saw the man's hand reach out to it, fiddled with it twice and then put it back, and said something like a murmur, "Oh, let's get this one later." Then it began to process other ginseng.

22 was so frightened that the juice was about to come out of the eyes, and secretly poked out the thin roots to untie the red rope.

Suddenly, a slender finger pressed on its roots.

22 was frightened and froze. Fortunately, it was a plant, and it was hard in itself, so people couldn't touch it.

"Hey, did you read it wrong? Why does it feel like the thread is moving." Qi Shu said.

After a while, he withdrew his hand.

22 held his breath and waited for a long time before starting to pull the thread again.This time the red rope was tied much tighter, and it took a long time to untie it.

"My eyes are dazzled, why do I keep seeing this thread moving." Qi Shu said in a low voice, then turned and went into the bathroom.

22 Seeing the man turn around, he stretched out a lot of thin roots, and pulled and pulled the red rope with all his hands and feet.The red rope was finally pulled loose, and 22 swayed his body to get out, but was grabbed by the hand stretched from behind.

!!!

"It really wasn't my dazzle." The man brought 22 closer, "Isn't it, little ginseng essence."

Under the warm yellow light, the man's skin is still a little sickly pale, his fingers are as cold as water in the winter of Changxing Mountain, and the red fruit on 22's head begins to tremble. Although he hasn't seen many people, he knows that people are afraid weird.

But the person in front of him was not surprised at all, as if he had already determined that he was the essence of ginseng.

Qi Shu gently touched 22's frightened drooping leaves with his hands, revealing its round black peas, and said softly: "Let's make a deal, you heal my wounds," he paused, "I won't hurt you life."

The man's movements were very light, his tone of voice was slow, and he spoke life-threatening words as peacefully as if he was asking for a meal.

22 only met three people, never said a word to anyone, and naturally didn't turn around, how did this unilateral threat turn into a deal.

But it knows that the healing effect of ginseng essence itself is very good, which also leads to the scarcity of ginseng essence - ginseng essence that has just opened its eyes has no self-protection ability.

It thought about it, and found that it had no choice, and—for the peaceful coexistence of monsters, it is not a big deal to help human beings, so it said the first sentence: "Then you can't pick my fruits and leaves."

Only then did Qi Shu notice that there was a small round mouth on the face of the ginseng spirit, which opened and closed and made soft sounds.

Ginseng Jing continued, as if a little proud of being able to help him, "I'll cure you!"

Qi Shu: It was agreed that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals would not be able to become spirits?

22 (to fingers): But I am a plant.
