Before five o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen took a pot of sweet wine and several kilograms of air-dried beef, and rowed alone into the mountains.
There were few morning stars, the waning moon hung slantingly in the sky, the autumn wind blew rustling withered grass on the stream bank, and occasionally a few owl calls came from the dark woods in the distance, which was heart-stopping.
Fortunately, the white fish belly in the east has faintly appeared. With the speed of rowing, it will be completely bright when we arrive at the mooring bay an hour later.
Recently, the hunting battlefield has been moved further into the mountains, and beasts that can pose a threat to Ye Congwen have been attracted. After all, carnivores also make a living by hunting animals in a sense, but they are not humans!
So this section of the road is theoretically quite safe. After Ye Congwen took the two-color ginseng, his strength has changed significantly, his explosive power is stronger, and his endurance is unprecedentedly durable. He can swing the oars with all his strength and swim against the current, often without feeling tired at all for four to five hours.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen had already rushed to a treasure mountain surrounded by mountains and water. It was more than a thousand meters high. The mountain was lush and lush with ancient trees. However, the mountain was relatively steep. Fortunately, there were very few mountains with such a steep slope. Wild beasts are out and about, so you don’t have to worry about your own safety.
Ye Congwen walked up the mountain with a small basket on his back, a small hoe, an iron measuring ruler, and an iron skewer. The main purpose of his visit today was to explore the location where the treasure might be, and mark it for digging tomorrow.
Digging for treasure medicine is a laborious and time-consuming job. You must first dig a hole with an iron skewer to check how deep the soil is underneath to see if there is enough space for the treasure medicine to grow. It is impossible to grow two feet of soil from one foot thick soil. Here comes the medicine.
If the soil thickness reaches the standard, you have to use a measuring tape to measure the nutrient content of the soil. It is naturally difficult to grow high-quality ginseng in areas with poor soil.
Ye Congwen followed the theoretical knowledge in the burial scriptures and the old patriarch's years of digging holes, and closely focused on the eight-character scripture "Moist but not lustrous, cut fat and cut jade" to determine whether there is a piece of soil.
There is no time to waste in a poor land with poor soil that is "as dry as millet and as wet as cut meat".
If these two conditions are met, Ye Congwen will use a hoe to dig a deep ditch where he judges the treasure is most likely to exist. If he is lucky, he may find two-color soil, and he can dig out two-color ginseng by following the clues. .
If you don't have this luck, then sorry, the amount of work will be huge, and the entire land will have to be dug like a plow. Sometimes Ye Congwen also wonders whether to get a pioneer ox to plow a few fields. Next, it will be nice to follow happily and pick up the treasure...
He had to row his boat and leave before three o'clock in the afternoon. He must reach the mooring bay before dark, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Excluding the time spent going up and down the mountain, the real time left for him to find medicine was only five hours. Ye Congwen ate several kilograms of beef jerky, drank half a bottle of sweet wine, quickly found nine pieces of treasure land, marked them, and inserted wooden sticks tied with red strings. I jogged all the way back to the boat, cranked up the oars and ran back quickly.
After repeated attempts three or four times, it was not until the seventh day that I dug out a piece of two-color ginseng. It was still a pair of two-color ginseng that was as thick as a pair of arms and weighed five kilograms.
But what is annoying is that this two-color ginseng does not have much effect on the body. At first, I thought the portion was too small and the effect was not obvious. The next day I cut two kilograms and mixed it with snow chicken to stew a pot of soup. However, it still had no great effect and I was unable to realize my wish to break the stone.
"Has my body already adapted to the overbearing power of bicolor ginseng? And my physique has evolved to the limit that bicolor ginseng can improve?
It seems like I’ll focus on looking for tricolor ginseng next time! "
This girl, on the other hand, drank the cheap pigeon pea sprouts for eight or nine times and her whole body became radiant and her skin was crystal clear. Before that, her skin was dull and yellow, and her energy was listless. Even my food intake has increased greatly, and my weight has returned to its previous state in just a few days.
"Could it be said that this two-color ginseng is a panacea for men to become strong and for women to be beautiful?"
Ye Congwen was puzzled. But it's not without its benefits. Since the pigeon sprouts were cured of their serious illness, their food intake has increased significantly, and they no longer grind their teeth even when sleeping.
He was so kind to Ye Congwen that he was in a state of admiration. He would make different soups and stir-fries every now and then, do all the laundry and sweep the floor, beat his back and rub his waist and be on call, which made Ye Congwen feel like a master.
In the next half month, Ye Congwen, apart from going to the county town with others to sell prey once, was still focused on finding tricolor ginseng.
Finally one day I found some soil of three colors on a treasure mountain 150 miles away from my home, and it was very likely that there were three colors of ginseng growing in it!
However, the Nine Pieces of Treasure Land occupies an extremely wide area, and Ye Congwen was afraid that he would regret it if he dug up the soil and allowed some gophers to get there first. In addition, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I guess time would not allow it. I picked some wild fruits at random and headed home.
There was no delay this time. It was not even dark when we returned to the village entrance, but the spot where we moored the boat was occupied by a colorful boat. Just as I was wondering what kind of strange guests had come to the Iron Tower Village, I heard the onlookers shouting loudly. road:
"Old patriarch, Xiao Congwen is back!"
The sound was like a loud bell, and the people inside the boat canopy came out one after another.
The tall old patriarch rushed out first, followed by a group of men in black attire, all of them with strong backs and strong waists, looking at the wolves, forming a herringbone to protect a woman.
The woman had slender shoulders, slim waist, and tall figure. Ye Congwen felt like he was facing a powerful enemy. He was extremely surprised and said:
"The masked monster finally came to the door, but why is he so close to Douzha, as if he has been best friends for many years?"
Before she had time to think about it, the tall woman turned around and looked at him. Her fair oval face was slightly pale, her hair was casually tied in a bun on her head, her shawl hair hung lazily around her waist, her white forehead could be broken by blows, and her simple and elegant clothes He seems approachable, but his expression is arrogant and cold, which makes people intimidating.
With no make-up, no makeup, no floor-length skirt, no high heels, she was in sharp contrast to the dressed-up pigeon sprouts beside her.
"What are you doing standing around silly as a kid? Come here and say hello!"
Ye Wudi was in a good mood. He drank a few more barrels of rice wine on the boat and had a very good chat with the girl.
"Clan Leader Ye, aren't you sincerely trying to embarrass me? The grace of saving my life is worth rekindling. If others knew about it, they would think that I, Yu Yueyue, don't have any tutoring at all."
A smile that makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze. He walked up to Ye Congwen with a smile as bright as a flower and said softly:
"Brother Ye, long time no see!"
Ye Congwen was sure that this woman was hiding a knife in her smile, and she must not be holding back anything good. Some time ago, she had a high fever and still wanted to kill me. Now that she is alive, she has changed her gender?
Have you ever seen a big bad wolf making friends with cows and sheep?
"I heard that you are seriously ill. It's windy outside. If you're not feeling well, don't go out and wander around. What if the rhino-horned elephant chases you and tramples you again?"
Ye Congwen climbed onto the two- to three-meter-high ship in a short run. He pretended to be very concerned and asked about the situation, and patted the mud on Yu Yueyue's shoulder.
The movement was so fast that even the dozen guards did not react.
Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's pair of black hands constantly wiping his new clothes. He was using my clothes as a rag! I subconsciously took a step back, and when I heard him mention the rhinoceros again, my smile became less natural.
"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Yu and my name is Yueyue. Happy Yue. Brother Ye, I heard everyone calls you Congwen. Is your full name Ye Congwen?"
"Don't be so formal. I'm a wild boy. Just call me Ye Congwen. Don't keep calling me little brother. I'm still young. I'm only fifteen years old. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your brother. By the way. , my sister is in her twenties this year?"
Acting crazy and acting stupid! This black guy definitely did it on purpose! Yu Yueyue cursed secretly in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, I would have asked my third uncle to take care of you!
"Brother Congwen, how could you ask such a question?"
Mudouya came in a snow-white dress, took Ye Congwen's arm and gently scolded:
"Sister Yueyue is only eighteen years old this year, not as old as you think."
"Eighteen is still young, even the babies in our village can walk! Elders are respected, and the etiquette of ranking in the seniority must still be observed."
Ye Congwen made a long bow to Yu Yueyue and said politely:
"Sister Yu, welcome to Tieta Village. I wonder why you came all the way to find me?"
"Xiao Congwen, don't mess around. Xiao Yu came to Tieta Village with her third uncle to buy game!"
Ye Wudi was talking to a middle-aged man with a long beard. When he saw Ye Congwen's black hands, he was slapping the girl randomly. It was really rude and disrespectful. He scolded:
"I'm going to criticize you. It has always been a fine tradition of our Tieta Village to do good deeds without leaving a name. How can you use your reputation to keep your name?
You also told Xiao Yu that if you want to repay me, I will bring grain, oil and fine rice wine to you in Tieta Village. This is a shameless act. You will be banned for a month. You are not allowed to go anywhere except Tieta Village this month!
Go and wash your dirty hands, put away the habit of arm-in-arms between your brothers and sisters, and don’t scare the distinguished guests! "
Ye Congwen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Yu Yueyue in disbelief, thinking that this woman is indeed not a kind person. When did I say this? It was probably planned long ago to throw dirty water on me and ruin my image.
"Little brother Congwen, I really didn't mean to say this. If I had known that your upbringing was so strict, it would have caused you to be punished. I wouldn't have said these words to death. You wouldn't blame me, would you?"
Ye Congwen looked at the innocent-looking girl in front of him and was about to say a few words of defense when he heard the woman complain quietly again:
"You tore my skirt and threw me into the ditch. I didn't care, either! Everyone says and does the wrong thing sometimes! Don't you think so?"
