Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 265 I want to accompany you on this trip!
If talking about other people's homes is about sharing and visiting, Lu Lu had another purpose when he came to Jiang Zewei's home: to talk to Jiang Zewei about going to Changbai Mountain.

He is very confident in his marksmanship now, and together with Wu Tiaogou and Chen Xiuqing, he feels that it shouldn't be a big problem to go to that mountain.

The two of them followed the fork of Tunzhong Road and went up the mountain road above. When they arrived at the gate of Jiang Zewei's courtyard, they saw that it was quiet inside, but the door of the house was open.

"Uncle Jiang...is Uncle Jiang at home?"

Lu Lu shouted into the room.

Soon an old woman in her 60s came out of the house. She was Jiang Zewei's wife. The last time I went to Jiang Zewei's house to eat donkey meat, she was a guest at the girl's house, but I didn't meet her.

As soon as she saw someone coming out, Chen Xiuyu called out first: "Ms. Wu!"

Aunt Wu walked towards the courtyard gate with a smile, and looked at Lu Lv as she walked: "It's Xiuyu... This guy is not bad, he looks very energetic. I heard my wife said about you, and there are not many people in this village who treat you like that." boast……"

"Ms. Wu, we are here to bring you some honey."

Lu Lu naturally followed Chen Xiuyu's call, and after smiling at Aunt Wu, he asked casually, "Where's Uncle Jiang? Why don't you see anyone?"

"He, he bought another donkey a few days ago and went to the back mountain to graze the donkey." Aunt Wu opened the door with a smile: "Quick, sit inside."

Lu Lu handed the two big bottles of honey to Aunt Wu, and turned to look at Chen Xiuyu: "You have a chat with Aunt Wu, I will go to the back mountain to find Uncle Jiang and talk to him. I will call you later."

"alright!"

Chen Xiuyu nodded and followed Aunt Wu into the yard.

Lu Lv walked back along the hillside.Jiang Zewei's legs and feet are not good, so he certainly can't go very far with a donkey.

Finding Jiang Zewei was not difficult.Not long after Lu Lu left, he heard the panting sound of a donkey from the back hillside.He immediately followed the sound and found it.

In the entire Xiushantun, only Jiang Zewei raised a donkey, and the rest were either cattle or horses, all of which were prepared for growing crops and pulling carts.Only Jiang Zewei raised a donkey for riding and grinding. He was old and lame, and he couldn't stand up to the horses. The shorter and more durable donkey became the first choice.

As soon as he heard the signature braying of the donkey, Lu Lu could tell that Jiang Zewei was at the place where the donkey's braying came from.

Passing through the sparse forest, he quickly saw Jiang Zewei lying on the grass slope, basking in the sun. Not far away, an adult donkey heard the sound of Lu Lu approaching, and looked up.

"Man, why did you find it!"

Seeing Lu Lu, Jiang Zewei turned over and sat up, looking at Lu Lu in surprise.

"Xiuyu and I will bring some honey to the aunt, and come over to see you... This is another donkey, can I ride it directly? How is your temper?"

Lu Lu walked over, sat down next to Jiang Zewei, and looked at the donkey, which was quite strong.

"He has a good temper and is quite obedient. To tell you the truth, this donkey was bought with the money you got from selling the lynx meat you sent last time. After buying the donkey, I still have more than ten yuan left. .”

Jiang Zewei was outspoken.

"That's pretty good. Just be obedient. Just buy one that's easy to handle. It saves you time to raise it yourself, and it's convenient to go anywhere."

Lu Lu didn't seem to have heard him say that he sold the lynx meat to buy a donkey.

After a pause, he continued: "Master, I remember you said last time that as long as someone is willing to accompany you to Changbai Mountain and where you want to go, you can pass on your experience in finding a stick, not just talking about wine." Bar?"

Lu Lu doesn't beat around the bush, he still prefers to be more straightforward when talking and doing things among men.

Hearing Lu Lu mention this matter, Jiang Zewei's hazy eyes suddenly became energetic, and he looked at Lu Lu seriously: "Yes, I said that."

"Is it still counting?" Lu Lu asked again.

Jiang Zewei nodded without thinking, "Of course!"

"I want to accompany you on this trip." Lu Lu also looked at Jiang Zewei seriously.

Jiang Zewei's expression suddenly became excited: "Man, I will wait for your words. As long as you accompany me on this trip, I will tell you everything I know in my head. I bought a donkey, that is, For the convenience of entering the mountain, I will definitely not hold you back."

"Master, you have thought about it, are you sure you want to go?"

"I have to go! Even if no one will accompany me, I have decided to go for a walk this year. I am getting older and older. If I don't go, I will have no chance in my life. Even if I die in that mountain go."

Jiang Zewei took out the cigarette pot and filled himself with a bag of cigarettes, his tone full of determination.

"Is it to meet Uncle Tianxing who failed to get out of the mountain?"

The last time I heard about this uncle who helped Jiang Zewei and the others stay in the mountains, Lu Lu noticed Jiang Zewei's expression, full of remorse.

At such an advanced age, the son of the family has already married and established a business, and the girl has married a good family. It is time to enjoy the blessings of life, but she has to stubbornly run into the mountains. This matter must not be as simple as just looking for a stick.

Thinking carefully about what the three uncles said when they ate donkey meat that day, all Lu Lu could think of was Jiang Zewei's desire to see his sworn brothers who stayed in the mountains.

This is Jiang Zewei's regret.

Hearing what Lu Lu said, Jiang Zewei was slightly stunned, and looked at Lu Lu with a very special look, as if he had found a bosom friend.

He sighed for a long time: "Yes, I came here just to see my brother. For so many years, he was buried alone in that deep mountain, and no one went to talk to him. There is no one to take care of the grass. I have to go and see him. If I don't go, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life.

Man, as long as you accompany me to go through this journey, my son is not interested in the little things in my head, so I will leave it all to you, leaving nothing to you.This trip, I don’t want any of the clubs I found, as long as I go this trip.

Don't worry, I'm in good health.You don't have to worry about my family, I will tell them clearly, in fact, they also know what I am thinking.At my age, if something happens in the mountains, I can just accompany my brothers, and it will save them trouble. "

What a determination this must be!
Hearing this, Lu Lu didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him: "Master, don't talk nonsense, I will definitely bring you back safely."

"I believe...you have this ability!"

Jiang Zewei smiled and asked, "When shall we leave?"

The old man is in a hurry.

"I have to wait for a while. Before that, I will go to the mountains to find an old friend. I will leave after I come back. I will try to make a trip to the broom market in time!"

Lu Lu smiled faintly. Before winter came, he really wanted to do a lot of things.

"Putting the broom market... Man, you also know this?" Jiang Zewei turned his head to look at Lu Lu.

The seasons and trading hours of the mountaineers are divided according to the law of ginseng growth.

Generally, the period from the beginning of April of the lunar calendar to Bailu is designated as the mountain-releasing season.

At the beginning of April of the lunar calendar, the young ginseng plants excavated from the soil are called "Fangcaoya City";
In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, ginseng plants are flourishing, and the stems and leaves are dark green, which is called "Fangqing (black) grass market";
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the ginseng fruit turns from green to red, which is bright and easy to distinguish. It is called "Fanghong Hammer City", also known as running red head;
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ginseng fruit falls off, and the stalk on the remaining peduncle is similar to the shape of the leek flower stalk, which is broom-shaped.

After this period of time, the release of the mountain ends, which is called "dropping the stick".

Generally speaking, about 20 days before Bailu, the Fangshan people bring the excavated mountain ginseng and pack buns to the market town for trading. After Bailu, there are no people there.

Hearing that Lu Lu used Fangshanren's jargon, Jiang Zewei looked a little surprised.

In this regard, when collecting mountain goods, Lu Lu had contact with a lot, and of course he knew a lot.He also looked for an opportunity to release the mountain, but he was not proficient in finding a stick. It was just a matter of luck. It took half a month to get nothing, so he had to give up in the end.

Jiang Zewei's experience is money to Lu Lu.

In these years, if you can carry three or five good-looking big sticks in the mountains, even if ginseng has already started to be artificially planted everywhere, you can still sell it for [-] to [-] yuan. Much faster.

"I know a little bit!"

Lu Lu smiled, and he could only say that he was not a novice in this regard: "At that time, there will not be many people going, just me, Qingzi and you, and you will be the leader."

"Okay! Teaching someone who doesn't know anything is definitely not as fast as teaching someone who knows a little bit, but it has saved me a lot of trouble."

When the old man heard the first two words, his energy seemed to rise a lot: "Go early and come back early. I'll wait at home."

"That's all right, sir, then it's a deal!"

Lu Lu got up and left: "I'll come to you right away after I come back from the mountains... You must make sure you explain the family affairs properly." He did not forget to emphasize.

It's not a child's play to lead such an old man to such a far and dangerous mountain.

Lu Lu thought in his heart that when he went to their house and asked Aunt Wu, he should know.

After finishing speaking, Lu Lv didn't stay any longer, and quickly went down the forest, arrived at Jiang Zewei's house, and shouted into the house: "Xiuyu, let's go home!"

"Hey!" Chen Xiuyu responded from the room, and quickly ran out.

Aunt Wu also sent her out of the yard, shouting: "Sit down a little longer, and leave after dinner!"

"No ma'am, there are still many things at home!"

Lu Lu found an excuse casually, waved his hand at Aunt Wu, led Zhuifeng, and led Chen Xiuyu back.

All the way out of Xiushantun, he rolled over onto the back of Zhuifeng, pulled Chen Xiuyu up, and trotted back to Caodianzi, regardless of the smiles or contemptuous looks of passers-by.

When we arrived at Caodianzi, let Zhuifeng go to graze. Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuyu to go along the fence and inspect together.

"I'm going to Jiayin tomorrow!"

While walking around, Lu Lu told Chen Xiuyu his plan.

Things that were originally planned to go long ago have been delayed until now, so we must hurry up.

In Lu Lu's heart, there are many things he wants to do.

After returning to the Great Wilderness for so long, many old people who are very important to him have not yet met.

"Going out this time will probably take a lot of time. I'm worried that you will live here alone!"

This is what Lu Lu is most worried about.

Although there is a fence around Caodianzi, and the big wooden house has already moved in, Wang Dalong and the others are here during the day, there is no problem, but I worry about it at night...it is too far away from the village, so it is not safe.

"Brother Lu, it's okay, you can just rest assured, when you said you were going out before, I already thought about it, I'll just call my good sister Pu Guiying to live with me.

Besides, during this period of time, I also want to call Yanzi Zhou Cuifen and the others to take advantage of the abundance of mushrooms and go to the mountains to gather more. If they can be sold in the district, they will be sold in the district, and if they cannot be sold, they will be dried. It's definitely fine to keep them with me at night... I'm not as timid as you think, I've beaten wolves before! "

Chen Xiuyu said in relief that when it comes to beating wolves, she always raises her chin habitually, with a look of arrogance.

Lu Lu thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He felt relieved a little, and emphasized: "When entering the mountain, don't go too far. Also, there must be many people."

There are many people who can help each other, and the movement is not small, and wild animals can be scared away early, and the safety factor will be much higher.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiuyu nodded, "I still want to spend my whole life with you."

Hearing this, Lu Lu was relieved.
