Chapter 756 The rascal makes another contribution

  Xu Shiyan led his son and the fox and stayed on the platform for five days.

  During the five days, Xu Shiyan carried out all the ginseng on the platform.

  The biggest one is the Liupinye, and there are two Liupinye, which are a little smaller, but not bad.

  Four fifth-rank leaves are okay, and the remaining fourth-rank leaves, Dengtaizi, and Erjiazi are relatively small.

  Xu Shiyan didn't dislike the small ones at all, he carried them all out and carefully wrapped them with moss and birch bark.

   "These big ones are concocted when they go back, and they are all life-saving medicines.

  The small ones, I will find a suitable place to close them up later, and raise them for another ten or twenty years, and they will grow up to be quite big. "

  The secret spoken by Xu Shiyan is also a kind of local dialect, which was left by the former Fangshan people.

  After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Changbai Mountain area was sealed off and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

  However, the Manchu nobles had a very large demand for ginseng, which obviously could not be satisfied by relying on the soldiers of Dashou Ula Yamen.

  So at that time, Dashang Ula Yamen issued ginseng tickets to some people, and those who took the ginseng tickets and went to the mountains to dig ginseng were called planers.

   Planers go into the mountains to dig ginseng, and sometimes the ginseng they bring out is too small to be exchanged for money.

  So I found a suitable place next to the shack where I lived, and replanted the small ginseng in the ground. This is called Yishan ginseng or seedling ginseng.

   Let’s talk about it now, it’s called wild ginseng.

   Not to mention, when the wild ginseng is transplanted to a new place, it has sufficient nutrition, and its growth is better than before, and it can grow up in a few years.

   Then the planer handed in the young ginseng as old mountain ginseng in exchange for wages.

  The quality of young ginseng is inferior to that of wild ginseng. This use of young ginseng as wild ginseng was discovered by the imperial court during the Jiaqing period.

   It is said that at that time, among the fifty-nine catties and seven taels of ginseng, thirty-seven catties and thirteen taels were seedling ginseng.

  The emperor was furious and ordered more than 30 local officials to be investigated and dealt with. They were either dismissed from their posts and interrogated, or demoted three ranks in a row. Jilin General Xiulin ordered him to commit suicide.

  Since then, officers and soldiers have searched the mountains from time to time, and if they find planers cultivating seedlings and ginseng, they will destroy them all.

  But this kind of thing is repeatedly prohibited. In order to preserve the ginseng, the planer tried every means to hide the ginseng in a secret place.

  Therefore, there is this secret.

   Later, when people cultivated garden ginseng, the ginseng seeds could produce water seeds and dry seeds.

  Dried seeds have a high opening rate, a high survival rate, and are relatively uniform.

  The water seeds have not gone through the dormancy period, and the opening rate is not good. It is very likely that the seedlings will not emerge in the second spring after being sown, but will come out in the third year.

  So when the ginseng seeds are planted, there are three flowers mixed in five leaves.

  Sanhua is very small, just like a matchstick, but farmers with poor conditions are reluctant to take such seeds.

  So it was replanted in the original field, and then planted again after a year or two. This is called dense seedling.

  Of course, generally speaking, the dense seeds are not in good shape, and they are rarely raised for transplanting.

  Most of them have been in the field for two years. In the local dialect, it is called a roll, and then they get out to make goods.

  Although this Yishan ginseng, or ginseng, is not as valuable as wild ginseng, it is still good to keep it for medicinal purposes. After all, its medicinal value is much higher than that of garden ginseng.

  Xu Shiyan’s plan was to find a suitable place later, close up the small ones, and carefully cultivate and keep them.

  As long as it doesn’t rot, just keep it in the ground and dig it out when you need it later.

  Xu Haiyuan doesn't know much about this, anyway, he just listens to what his father said.

   That's it, early in the morning of the sixth day, the two of them packed up their things.

  Xu Shiyan climbed up first, and Xu Haiyuan was underneath. They tied their backpacks and other things to the rope, and Xu Shiyan dragged them up.

  After that, Xu Haiyuan picked up the rascal again, and dragged the rope to climb up.

  Xu Shiyan also pulled the rope on the top to help his son climb up quickly.

  After Xu Haiyuan and Lai Pigui came up, Xu Haiyuan let go of Lai Pigui.

  The two of them put on their big rucksacks and walked back along the original road, planning to go back to find their car.

  Xu Shiyan is familiar with this side, he leads the way in front, and Xu Haiyuan leads the rascals to follow behind.

  Xu Haiyuan was a teenager after all, and he hadn't been in the mountains much, and he didn't go as fast as Xu Shiyan.

  Xu Haiyuan was stumbling, stumbling and chasing his father behind him, but the rascal didn't know what was going on, but suddenly jumped out and ran to the side.

   "Lumpy ghost, come back quickly, we have to go home, we can't run around outside." Xu Haiyuan saw it and hurriedly yelled.

   But the rascal didn't pay attention at all, and ran forward anyway. Xu Haiyuan was worried that the rascal would get lost, so he had no choice but to chase it away.

  Xu Shiyan walked in front, about ten steps away from Xu Haiyuan.

  When he heard Xu Haiyuan shouting, he looked back and saw that Xu Haiyuan had already chased the rascal and ran towards the south.

   "Yuanyuan, come back, that rascal can't lose it." Xu Shiyan hurriedly called his eldest son.

   In the past few days, when Xu Shiyan went to fetch water, Lai Pigui would follow him to find a place to hunt.

  When it is full, it will bark on the lazi, and Xu Haiyuan will eat it again.

  The place on the platform is really too aggrieved, it is estimated that the rascals are here to have fun.

  But Xu Haiyuan has chased for a while now, and the rascal in front is still running while turning his head and wagging his big tail at Xu Haiyuan.

  Xu Haiyuan's temper also came up, and he ran after the rascal without saying a word.

   When he ran, Xu Shiyan could only follow him, yelling at his eldest son while running.

   In the mountains and forests, I saw such a strange scene.

  A fox with a bright fur color quickly shuttles through the forest like a ball of fire.

  A boy in the back was carrying the boss's rucksack with a lot of things hanging on it, and he was chasing the fox behind.

  Further back, a man was also carrying a large rucksack with a pot on it, and the man was walking and shouting.

   Lai Pigui ran very fast, but after running for a short distance, he turned his head to look at Xu Haiyuan, and then shook his big tail.

   When Xu Haiyuan was about to catch up with it, Lai Pigui turned his head and ran again.

   An angry Xu Haiyuan chased after him closely, but Xu Shiyan behind him had nothing to do, so he could only chase his son and the fox, and ran for a while in the woods.

   Lai Pigui turned around in front of him and ran for more than ten miles.

   The Xu family's father and father, who were carrying so many things on their backs, were so exhausted that they had to stop to rest.

   "No, why is this rascal so crazy today? What is it going to do?"

  Xu Haiyuan was so tired that he leaned on a tree and gasped for breath.

  No matter how healthy a person is, he can’t carry such a heavy thing on his back and run for more than ten miles in the mountains and forests.

   What's more, Xu Haiyuan is only thirteen, still a child.

  Xu Shiyan looked up at the sky, then at the tree, and identified the direction.

   "Here, it seems that it is not too far from the place where your mother and I saw references, right?

  At that time, I was on this mountain, and saved the rascal from the mouth of the wolf. Is this guy homesick? "

  Although these years have passed, Xu Shiyan still has a little impression of this mountain. It seems that it is not too far from the Qianchuan ginseng land of the big house.

   "It's not right, it doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, how can it be homesick?" After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, he laughed first.

   After so many years of raising Lai Pigui, I have never seen Lai Pigui bringing back a female fox or something, and I don’t know if this fox has a wife.

  Xu Haiyuan hadn't recovered yet, when he heard what his father said, he laughed while panting heavily.

   And Laipi Gui, who had already run far ahead, turned around and found that the two of them hadn't followed.

  The little guy tilted his head and looked around, then bounced back.

   Whispering, biting Xu Haiyuan's trouser leg, insisting on dragging him forward.

   "Dad, where does the rascal want to take us?

  I remember that year when we went into the mountains and met a snake, it did the same. "

  Xu Haiyuan looked at the rascal who kept biting his trouser leg at his feet, trying to drag him away, and asked thoughtfully.

  Xu Shiyan became energetic when he heard this, "Oh, I can't tell."

   This little thing is full of spirituality, and it has been in the mountains and forests all year round. I can’t guarantee what it is to take them to find.

   "Go, follow it, let's go and see."

   Just like that, the two of them followed Laipigui, and walked into the woods for more than an hour, and came to a mountain nest.

  Xu Shiyan saw this place, the wind is sunny, the trees are lush, oh, the place is not bad.

   "Yuanyuan, follow Laipigui closely, I feel that there should be participation in this area." Xu Shiyan instructed Xu Haiyuan.

  Before Xu Haiyuan agreed, Xu Shiyan saw a red pine tree not far away.

  It was roughly as thick as a person's arms, and a piece of bark was peeled off from the trunk about one person above the ground, revealing the essence of the wood, and omens were engraved on it with an axe.

  Looking at the omen, the years will not be short.

   "Son, there is an old sign here. Come quickly." Xu Shiyan yelled and called his eldest son over.

   "Look, it's engraved on it. At that time, someone dug up a seedling of sixth-rank leaves and two seedlings of fifth-rank leaves near here."

  Xu Shiyan pointed to the old sign and explained it to Xu Haiyuan.

  Although Xu Haiyuan is talented in learning, but he has never experienced these things, how can he know?

  The child is very interested in these and listens to his father's explanation very carefully.

   "Father, according to what you said, there should be ginseng nearby, right?"

  Xu Haiyuan asked after hearing the origin of the old omen.

   "Well, this old omen has been around for more than a hundred years. If we follow our old rules of letting the mountains go, keep the big and keep the small, there must be ginseng nearby.

  Of course, after so many years, no one knows if someone has come here and found the old omen. "

  Xu Shiyan raised his head and glanced around, just in time to see Lai Pigui looking at them with his big tail dangling.

   "Laipigui, you brought us here, is there any ginseng here?" Xu Shiyan asked casually.

  In the end, the skinny ghost let go of his joy, bouncing and bouncing on the spot, then turned around and ran forward.

   "Let's go, let's follow the rascal."

  With Lai Pigui here, there is no need for the two of you to search hard, just follow along.

  The two of them followed Laipigui and walked to a position less than 20 meters southeast of the old sign. Lapigui stopped and wandered around a tuft of grass.

  Xu Shiyan stepped forward and found a ginseng tree in the grass. "The club." Xu Shiyan shouted hastily.

   "How many leaves?"

  Xu Haiyuan stayed with his father on the mountain for several days, and knew a lot about the rules of releasing the mountain, so he asked.

   "Six Pin Ye."

  Xu Shiyan stared at the seedling ginseng in front of him, looking at the thick stalk, he was really moved.

  This rascal, as long as it makes a move, it seems that there is no small one.

   "How many?" Xu Haiyuan continued.

   "The mountains are full." These words are purely beautiful and yearning, just auspicious words, so don't take them seriously.

  Of course, if you can meet a six-leaf tree that looks quite old, it is very possible that the mountain is full.

   "Quickly be fast."

  Xu Haiyuan never looked down on these old rules, but followed them in a regular manner.

  Xu Shiyan had already pulled out the mallet lock while he was talking to his son.

   Folded a branch from the side and inserted it next to the six-pin leaf of this seedling, and then hung the mallet lock.

  Hang up the mallet lock, then you will definitely have to lift the ginseng.

  Based on Xu Shiyan's understanding of rascals, this little guy seems to be able to find a big deal every time.

  The tree in front of me should not be too small. It is estimated that the two of them will not be able to go down the mountain today.

   "Yuanyuan, you stay here, I'll collect firewood and build a hut."

   Fortunately, before going out, Su Anying brought them a lot of food.

   During the five days on the platform, I have eaten less than two-thirds, and the remaining food should last for three to five days.

  The father and father work together in a division of labor, Xu Haiyuan guards here, wandering around with the rascals looking for ginseng.

  Xu Shiyan went to collect firewood, chop wood to build a shack, and fetch water.

  After Xu Shiyan finished all these things, Xu Haiyuan found a few ginseng trees under the guidance of the rascal ghost.

  So, the father and father made some food, and then Xu Shiyan started to carry the ginseng.

   Lai Pigui's shots are always big ones, and this one is not small.

   Xu Shiyan was so happy that he didn't know what to do. When he was resting at night, he hugged the rascal and rubbed the rascal's hair.

   "This little thing, why is it so smart?"

   Lai Pigui didn't care how happy Xu Shiyan was, he just covered his body with his big tail, curled up between Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan, and slept soundly.

  The past few years are no longer what they used to be. There are far fewer wild animals. In addition, the fire outside is always burning at night, but there are no wild animals coming to harass.

  Xu Shiyan and his son stayed in this mountain nest for another four days, and brought out two seedlings with six-pin leaves and three seedlings with five-pin leaves.

  Xu Haiyuan wanted to wander around again, but Xu Shiyan refused.

   "Let's go back, we've been out for a long time this time, your mother should be anxious at home."

   Originally, it was said that he would go back in a week at most, and it has been ten days since then. Su Anying, the head of the family, must be going crazy?

   Hurry up and go back, lest the family worry.

   "Lumpkin, don't make trouble this time, we have to go home.

  Even if you have a mallet, you can't look for it. "Xu Shiyan touched Lai Pigui's head and said.

   "Let's go, lead the way, let's go back."

   When I came here, I was chasing the rascal, and I walked too fast, and I didn't remember some of the roads clearly.

  Although Xu Shiyan can pull the forest away, it takes time and effort to identify the direction and find the location by himself.

  With Lai Pigui here, this little guy must know the way, let him take him away.

  Lai Pigui seemed to understand, so he jumped ahead, leading Xu Shiyan and his son out of the forest, and went straight to their parking place.

  The car has been parked on the side of the road for ten days and has not moved.

  Cars are not very common these days. When most people see them, they will only think that they belong to some unit. Most people dare not destroy them.

  Besides, many people have moved out of Dafangfang and Qingling, and there are few people here, so the car remains the same.

  But on the car window, a lot of bird droppings were pulled by the birds.

  Xu Shiyan saw it, and could only get some water from a small ditch, wipe the car windows, and then drove Xu Haiyuan and Laipigui back the same way.

  By the time Xu Shiyan and his son returned to Donggang, it was almost dark.

  Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan kept talking at home, "Tell me how old the third child is, why are you still so out of tune?

  He actually took Yuanyuan to the mountain, what if something happens to the father and son on the mountain? "

  Xu Chenghou was worried about his son and grandson, so he couldn't help mumbling.

   "Yingzi, where did the two of them go? Did you tell me before you left?

   Otherwise, arrange someone to go into the mountain to look for it. "Zhou Guilan was also worried, and sat there sighing.

   "Dad, Mom, he said he took Yuanyuan to the big house.

   Originally said he would be back in a week, who knows why he hasn't come back after ten days. "Su Anying is also anxious.

   Take all precautions, but still fail, both children in the family have a fever. There is no way, I can only pick it up from my grandparents' house, and the three of us have **** together. The guy in my family is standing among the sheep and trembling now, and he probably will fall when we recover.
