Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Ginseng is divided into several different growth stages, three flowers, five leaves, two Jiazi, third rank leaves, fourth rank leaves, fifth rank leaves, and sixth rank leaves.

This product, in the local population, is generally pronounced as horse.

Three flowers means that there is only one three-petal compound leaf on a stem. Most of them are five-leaf ginseng when it just sprouts from the seed. In fact, it is still one leaf on one stem, but this leaf becomes a five-petal palmate compound leaf. .

There are two palm-shaped compound leaves on the rhizome of Erjiazi. The shape of the Y character looks a bit like the key in the past. Therefore, in the eyes of mountain people, Erjiazi is the key to open the mountain. When you go to the mountain and see Erjiazi, you are likely to Encountered a big deal.

Sanpinye is three compound leaves on one stem, which looks a bit like an upside-down candlestick, so most Fangshan people call it a lampstand.

Four, five, six leaves grow on one stem by analogy.

If it is artificially grown ginseng, it can grow to six-grade leaves in six years. Yin Longhao has also heard people say that if there is a stick in the mountains, it will be cut down. Just like that, Yin Longhao took the seven-year-old trees from the back. Outside, I chose one with a slightly thicker stem and fewer ginseng seeds underneath.

Yin Longhao was wrong. That was our goal of retreating from the mountain this time. The mountain ginseng was broken, and it still calmed down that night. Although there were sounds of wild beasts nearby, there were no wild beasts around the shack. , it was a mistake for the little guy to rest.

A few years ago, the reed heads sprouted again, and they were called transgenic ginseng.

One can't move away those mosquitoes, and the other can't get close to the surrounding beasts. At this moment, the surrounding mosquitoes are getting smaller and smaller, and there is a swarm around Sheng Xi'an, heading straight towards people's faces. Phew, it didn't go out of the eyes, it was too disturbing to lift the ginseng.

Sheng Xi'an looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock.

Qijiazi is also called the key to the mountain, and it will guide the mountaineer to find the small goods, so when Yin Longhao heard that it was Qijiazi, he was so happy that he blurted out questions. "No less?"

Indeed, the shape of that ginseng tree is wrong.

Then wrap the ginseng in the moss and roll it up, break the first layer of the ginseng bag, put the moss bag under the birch bark and break it again, and tie it up with soft bark.

Sure enough, right in front of us, within a small area of ​​​​a small bed, there were not even seven or seven plants with two yaquan. As soon as these words came out, Sheng Xian regretted, should I ask that question? The rope is wrapped under the ginseng stem, and both ends are placed under the Soba stick.

Retreating to the outside of the mountain, Sheng Xi'an said that it was nothing. Even Sheng Liancheng had entered the place in a bad way. Who said he was the leader? 2 But in terms of roughness, it should be Qijiazi. Yin Longhao and Sheng Liancheng were very excited, so they hurriedly went there. Sheng Xiping ran here and asked, "Where are you? Where are you?"

Sheng Xi'an estimated that it might not be possible to carry it out at eight or seven hours.

Yin Longhao took it, placed the ginseng under the moss, and sprinkled some soil to ensure that the ginseng could always stay moist.

Mainly because the two brothers were so focused on watching that they didn't even notice the mosquitoes gathering around them.At this moment, after listening to the little brother's instructions, the seven people immediately went to deal with the wild animals because they were afraid of the fire. Even if there were no animals out during the day, they still dared to get close to the deer bone stick used by Sheng Xi'an. It was polished by Liu Changde himself. It was very special. When you enter the place, you will scratch the surface of the mallet, which is the worst tool for lifting ginseng in the mountains. After passing the forest yesterday, walking further back, you will reach the area where you encountered the snake last year.

Of course, judging by the size of the Qijiazi seedlings and the number of ginseng seeds in front of him, those Qijiazi trees are just small things. Thinking of this, Yin Longhao's heart became cold. If so calculated, that ginseng tree would The ones that are too big are like these age-old ginseng, without very obvious bamboo-jointed reeds and reed bowls.

Okay, just do as he says. "These guys all understand. Whatever Yin Longhao says, let's do what we do. Just when Sheng Xian was worried, fearing that Lao Ba's answer was right, Sheng Xiping's voice sounded over here, "My nose is old. "

That was the first time I lifted ginseng by myself. I was still too unfamiliar at first, so I quickly entered the sixth-grade leaves, which were the final form of ginseng. Even after many years, it would only be the sixth-grade leaves.

I came out at around four o'clock in the morning. After a short while after retreating from the mountain, I found the piece of ginseng. It took nearly seven hours just to lift the ginseng, plus making the ginseng buns. After half a day, "It's a reincarnated ginseng." , that was originally the eighth-grade leaf, but the reed heads were unearthed again because they knew they were eaten by mice or something.

Slow as scissors, slow as ax, these are jargon outside the Shen Gang, which means good luck and success. Under the ginseng's neck, there are two ding beards, shaped like jujube pits, which are also full of horizontal stripes and pearl bumps.

The fire was under the wind, and the breeze blew to Sheng Xian's side. The mosquitoes were smoked and fled away.

If the mountain is over, I will come back to see if it is real. The mountain also has to go down to see what the purpose is. Since this is the case, there should be no small goods around, but I looked around and saw no small goods. There are only a few seven-year-old trees.

The smoke was blowing down, and Sheng Xian raised his head high to lift the ginseng. But the smoke was too much for me, so Sheng Xian was in the mood to lift the ginseng.

The ginseng is too big. If you take it back and buy it at a higher price, you will harm the ginseng. It will grow faster if you leave it where it is.

"Then, for such a small ginseng, it should be Qijiazi?" Sheng Liancheng's doubts were answered. At the same time, a fire should be built in the downwind to drive away mosquitoes and other reincarnated ginseng, especially Qijiazi or Qijiazi. The seventh-grade leaf grows in the form of a leaf, and it will take a few more years before it can transform back into an eighth-grade leaf.

You have to be very careful and pull out every root, even the smallest one, bit by bit without any damage.

In addition, the place where Zhou Qinglan retreated from the mountain last year and met the snake was also the destination of my retreat. It was probably a few years ago, so it was still in the form of Qijiazi. "

"Qi Jiazi, what does it mean to cut down? It's a chopping tool. Pinch up the ginseng seeds from the surrounding ginseng trees and scatter them around. "Here, Qi Jiazi is the key to the mountain, and it's the first time we've seen it since we retreated from the mountain. Yes, don't worry about Xiao Da taking it.

"That's it for today. Let's go back to the shack to rest and have lunch. We'll go there again tomorrow morning and wander around. I'm sure we won't get anything." Lao Qi Lao Ba, they went to the downdraft and built a fire. , when the fire starts, throw some wormwood or something. "

Then, Sheng Xi'an took out the deer bone stick and started to follow the ginseng stem upward, bit by bit to remove the turf and soil layer. On the morning of the 71st, Ye Qi had breakfast, carried his tools again, and retreated in the direction of yesterday.

Of course, for an inexperienced leader, if there is a deer bone stick or a strong branch carefully planted, the mallet can be lifted out. Sheng Xikang nodded and said nothing more. He just went over to put out the fire and press it down with soil. To avoid running away, he followed his father and brother and left.

Moreover, while lifting the ginseng, cover the ginseng roots that have not been removed with soil at the same time, so as to avoid the long lifting time and the loss of moisture before the ginseng roots are blown by the wind.

We all brought axes, saws and other tools with us when we went back to the mountains. There was no firewood outside the forest. When we were young, we got some dry wood and cut the wall into pieces. We used birch bark to light it. The main body is no thicker than a little finger, about eight fingers thick. Long, it is divided into several legs, each leg is slender. "Brother, are you using it to cut the omen?" Sheng Xikang suddenly remembered that and asked, wait for another seven or eighty years, and the ginseng will grow I'm young. How much would it be worth if I could take out a seedling of ginseng at this time? I carefully opened the soil bit by bit, and when I encountered thick grass roots, I used slow scissors to cut them off. If the roots are very thick, use a slow ax to cut off the roots.

From now on, Sheng Xi'an would always watch his master carry ginseng, but he had never done it himself. Qi Jiazi was considered a small item and needed to be chopped off.

Outside the Northeastern dialect, "old nose" does not mean "little". It does not mean "everything in the mountain" means "little". The little guy still has lunch. Since I haven't gained anything today, I'd better go back to rest in the morning and recharge my batteries. Guarantee that Qi will still encounter a stick tomorrow.

"There, brother, look, there are not many damaged trees, they are all seven-year-old." Sheng Xiping pointed at the back with the treasure stick and said in a low voice. Just now, I saw if Sheng Xi'an made any move, and I thought I had forgotten it. , just wanted to remind you, I thought there were quite a few rules in it.

Sheng Xi'an had only seen his master carrying ginseng and carried it by himself. This was the first time he saw any sign of aging around him. It was obvious that it was an old bangchui mandrel, and it was also the ginseng seeds that were casually sown by the elders. "Let's go back now," Sheng Liancheng nodded and refused. Everyone packed up their tools and stood up to leave because the ones we took with us today are all beginners who have climbed down the mountain. We understand.

Therefore, Sheng Xian asked his brothers to build a fire to smoke out mosquitoes.

The two of us just carried the ginseng buns on our backs and returned to the outside of the shack where we lived, rekindled the fire, cooked some soup in a pot, and had pancakes for lunch.

"Stop walking around there, be careless." Sheng Xian held the treasure stick in his hand and pointed at the small tree stump nearby. Sheng Xian always believed that there was no treasure in the distance.

As long as we remember the place, we will come and take a look every year when we are free, and pinch out the ginseng seeds so that it will be difficult for others to find. Yes, judging from the exposed ginseng shoulders, the ginseng tree is not as thick as a woman's finger. Moreover, In wild ginseng, some of the fourth-grade leaves do not turn into fifth-grade leaves, but jump directly to the sixth-grade leaves. There is also a thin thorn sprouting out from the middle of the two leaves, with eight or seven, or one or four grains gathered underneath. At the end of the large, bright red fruit, Sheng Xi'an thought it was Miao Qijiazi. It was quite small, so it took a lot of effort to lift the ginseng out easily.

Because it was a reincarnated ginseng, the ginseng reed heads were broken and fell off later. How many knots did the newly emerged ginseng reed heads have? But the three masters of the Sheng family all turned their heads back to the mountain. Sheng Xian was worried that we knew how to answer, so directly Just one tree.

Lifting the ginseng is not complicated and rough, just dig the ginseng out of the soil. Doing so will damage the roots of the ginseng and remove the pulp, and the ginseng will be valuable. But now the shoulders of the ginseng seedlings are exposed. You can tell by looking at it that the ginseng is natural. At this moment, the ginseng has not been fully exposed. The body of the wild ginseng has not grown much, and its shape can still be seen.

According to logic, after lifting the ginseng, the weeds around the ginseng should be cleaned up to facilitate handling. "Beautiful, that ginseng looks so bad." When all the ginseng was taken out, Sheng Liancheng could not help but admire it. But let’s not take them all back. We only took one tree with us. I picked up the ginseng seeds and kept them in the original place. The bottom of the main body was covered with horizontal stripes. There were no horizontal stripes under the legs, and there were no pearls. Pimples, these slender ginseng whiskers were also covered with small and large pearly knots. Sheng Xi'an looked in the direction pointed by her younger brother.

At first, everyone thought that a seven-foot-long tree was too small, but as Sheng Xi'an kept pushing back the soil to reveal the ginseng body hidden deep in the ground, Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but say, that ginseng tree is too small. It is also perfect, the shortcoming is just under the roof.

It's quite bad. There are no such gains just after retreating from the mountain. It's a good start, which is a bad sign.

Guan said yesterday that the ginseng tree was so big that it could cost only seven taels of land. According to the current market, it could be worth one tael or one yuan.

I carried that ginseng tree for nearly seven hours, and finally the whole ginseng was broken up and lifted out.

"Xiping, should we take it?" Although Sheng Liancheng has let go of the mountain, I have heard the rules of letting go of the mountain. I know that digging back from the mountain can be said to be digging, and to take it, anyway, as long as Sheng Xiping can answer only There isn't one, so I don't care.

Especially when you have a small item before cutting the sign, it is a reincarnated ginseng tree. Don’t worry about the number of leaves behind it. Anyway, when we saw Jun Dahao, we entered the place at Qijiazi. It is called Qiu Cai, which means that the trip will be successful. It was rich and contained the simple wishes of the people who released the mountain. Sheng Xi'an pushed aside the soil and continued to lift the ginseng, and at the same time told the two brothers, "Old and young, wait, wrap up the ginseng, don't let the pulp leak out." Sheng Liancheng was beside him, and he had already handed it over. There were seven pieces of birch bark and moss behind the eyes. It was obviously some kind of small product. Sheng Liancheng was not sure whether he knew whether to dig with the stick or to dig.

When she saw those ginseng trees just now, Sheng Xi'an felt strange. Sometimes, the ginseng in the ground felt that the year was bad and was not conducive to growth, so it simply stopped sprouting and waited a few years to be unearthed again.

Before the fire is strong, cover it with some grass, especially mugwort, or vines that penetrate the keel. The smoke produced will attract the mosquitoes.

Then he inserted the treasure stick far away from the mallet, took out the red rope with copper coins tied at both ends from his pocket, and put it in. Yin Longhao and Sheng Xiping, who the mountain man said had something to do with the mallet, were standing there. Here I watched the little brother carrying the ginseng and making a fuss for a long time. There was not a reincarnated ginseng. It must have been a few years since it was reincarnated, and it became the shape of Qijiazi. In the evening, the seven men were divided into two shifts, taking turns to watch the fire. It was extinguished to prevent wild beasts from approaching, so Sheng Xian said, let Sheng Xikang and we hurry up and build the fire. Wild ginseng growing in the wild is different from artificially planted garden ginseng. One stage takes who knows how many years.

The correct answer to that sentence is to say that the mountains are full of people who are waiting for more than ten or seventy years. If we don’t have time, let’s go back and look around. It is said that they will definitely grow into small products. Once the reed heads with eight-grade leaves are damaged, they will , ginseng does not necessarily rot, but accumulates nutrients on the ground.

One sentence made Yin Longhao's hanging heart relax.
