Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 291
The incident happened suddenly, and the three grandpas who were picking grass to find ginseng didn't react at all.

They only heard a scream of oops, and then something fell to the ground with a plop.

Taking a closer look, Sheng Xi'an, who was happily chasing pheasants just now, disappeared.

"Second brother, second child?" Sheng Liancheng and his son were startled, and hurriedly ran in the direction Sheng Xi'an had just been in.

And at this time, I heard a movement from below, "Be careful, there is a ridge here, it's very steep." It was Sheng Xi'an's movement.

However, at this time, Sheng Xiping was running so fast that he had no time to brake.

Right where Sheng Xi'an fell, Sheng Xiping fell too.

The ridge Sheng Xi'an mentioned was actually a small fault zone formed by geological movement.

As a result, the entire mountain sank down by three or four meters, forming a steep mountain wall with two floors above and below, like a staircase.

The key is that there are lush forests here, and few people usually go there, and no one knows that such a fault zone exists.

Just now Sheng Xi'an saw the pheasant flying towards this side, and he wanted to rush over to catch the pheasant, but inadvertently, he fell directly under the mountain wall.

But Sheng Xiping didn't brake in time, followed behind his younger brother, and also fell off.

Fortunately, the mountain wall is not very high, and the bottom is not rocks but land, and there are dense and soft grass mats.

Sheng Xiping fell to the ground, rolled forward a few times, then stopped, turned over, and stood up from the ground.

"Father, third child, be careful." He hastily reminded him, for fear that the two of them would also fall off.

Thanks to Sheng Liancheng's slow movements and Sheng Xikang's distance, the two of them heard Sheng Xi'an's words before they got close to the mountain wall. At least they didn't fall off.

At this moment, the two carefully supported the tree and looked down. "Boss, second child, are you two okay?"

Under the mountain wall, Sheng Xi'an shrank his neck when he looked at his elder brother who was as embarrassed as himself.

"Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have caught that pheasant."

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time. The moment the pheasant flew up, an idea came to his mind. He seized it and roasted it for dinner, and then rushed towards the pheasant.

How can you imagine, it doesn't matter if you rush forward, you will just fall down.

Fortunately, the ridge is not too high, there are no stones and no water underneath, otherwise, the two brothers would be miserable today.

Sheng Xiping was so angry, he really wanted to kick his brother's feet, "If I lead you into the mountains again in the future, I'll be out of my mind." Angry Sheng Xiping yelled.

"I told you for so long yesterday, didn't I? I told you all, don't talk when you enter the mountain, and don't make up your own mind.

We are here to free the mountains, not to hunt and catch pheasants.That pheasant can fly, why are you messing with it? "

Sheng Xi'an lowered his head and shrunk his shoulders, with a guilty expression on his face.

"I, I didn't know what was going on just now, I just went towards that pheasant as soon as my brain froze."

Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes, "From now on, you'll be less out of your mind, and don't cause trouble for me."

This idiot, he is not suitable for entering the mountain at all, in the future, let him come less, so as not to cause a lot of trouble.

Sheng Xiping didn't want to kick his brother, he only scolded him a few words, and then began to look around, trying to find a suitable place to go.

There are still two ginseng trees waiting for him to lift, he can't stay here.

This is a fault zone formed by geological movement. Unlike Shilazi and valleys, the entire hillside has subsided.

So there are also many big trees below. These big trees are very tall, and the crowns and branches are much higher than the top of the mountain wall, so they are very confusing.

People who are not familiar with the terrain, if one is not paying attention, it is really easy to fall.

Sheng Xiping raised his head and looked up, looking while walking, trying to find a tree growing close to the mountain wall, and use the thick trunk and branches of the big tree to climb up.

As a result, he didn't pay attention and tripped over a fallen log under his feet. He staggered and almost fell.

Sheng Xiping couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it must be because he didn't read the almanac when he went out, so everything went wrong and he stumbled.

Thinking of this in his heart, Sheng Xiping didn't dare to walk with his head up again, so he had to lower his head and pay attention to his feet, and after walking a few steps, he stood still and then looked up.

Suddenly, red dots in front attracted Sheng Xiping's attention.

Yo, what is that?Why does it look so familiar?
Sheng Xiping took a few steps forward and took a closer look, okay, isn't that red and gorgeous thing that swayed in the wind exactly what they were looking for this time when they went into the mountain?
"Baystick, sticky stick. There are a lot of sticky sticks." Sheng Xiping looked forward again and was stunned.

Under the cover of shrubs and weeds, dozens of large and small red ginseng seeds sway in the breeze, more like waving at people.

Sheng Xiping was so excited that he hurriedly shouted.

Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xikang on the mountain wall, and Sheng Xi'an, who was also looking for a way down the mountain wall, were all stunned when they heard Sheng Xiping's movement.

What the hell?There's a mallet here?
The three masters quickly came back to their senses, and hurriedly asked, "How many leaves?"

"There are both sixth-rank leaves and fifth-rank leaves." Sheng Xiping looked at several nearby trees. The largest one was sixth-rank leaves, and there were also fifth-rank leaves.

And not far ahead, right in the middle of the whole mountain ginseng, there is a tree that also looks like a sixth-grade leaf.

But it was a bit taller than the others, the purple stalk was much thicker, and the ginseng seed on the stile was also much larger than the other ginseng seeds, almost reaching Xiaowa's fist.

Needless to say, this tree must be the king of this piece of ginseng, and those around it are all its descendants.

It is very possible that even the two trees that Sheng Xiping and the others met before were ginseng seeds that were hidden by squirrels, or eaten and excreted by birds, and then germinated.

Sheng Xiping was overjoyed when he found King Shen, and hurried to where King Shen was.

But when he walked to a distance of five or six meters from King Shen, he heard the sound of the grass and trees being quickly skipped by something, and then a gust of wind rushed towards him.

Sheng Xiping reacted quickly, and quickly retreated three steps to avoid the oncoming attack.

At this moment, when he took a closer look, in front of him was a snake with black and white patterns, which was thicker than last year's one.

This guy's tail was hooked on a branch of a big tree, most of his body was sticking out and hanging in the air, he opened his bloody mouth, spitting out a bright red letter, and was demonstrating towards Sheng Xiping.

"Second, don't come here, there is a string of money over here, it's very big."

Sheng Xiping heard footsteps behind him, and knew that it was Sheng Xi'an who heard him shouting and wanted to come over to see what the ginseng was like, so he hurriedly called out to remind him.

At this time, Sheng Xi'an had already walked two steps behind his brother. In fact, without Sheng Xiping's reminder, he also saw the big snake in front of him.

"My God, why do you think this one is bigger than the one you took home last year? Are they a couple?"

Sheng Xi'an stared dumbfounded at the big snake in front of him protesting with its mouth open, and murmured.

The two snakes are of the same species, so they should both be pine snakes. Whether they are a pair or not, Sheng Xiping is not sure.

At this moment, he only knows one thing, that is, if he doesn't get rid of the snake, he won't be able to stop and lift King Shen today.

In ginseng lingo, snakes are also called Qian Chuanzi. If you encounter snakes in the mountains, you have a high chance of finding ginseng.

Especially at this stage of Honghamtou City, the bright red ginseng seeds of wild ginseng will attract small animals such as birds and squirrels.

The snakes will hide around the wild ginseng, waiting for an opportunity to hunt down small animals such as birds and squirrels that come for food.

The people who release the mountain pay attention to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. During the process of releasing the mountain, unless it is a critical moment of life and death, they will not easily harm the living beings.

All animals and plants in this mountain are under the control of the mountain god, who will harm the creatures in the mountain at will. If the mountain god is angry, how can he give food to him?

So don't look at Sheng Xiping carrying a gun into the mountains, it is for self-defense, not for hunting.

In the two days since he entered the mountain, Sheng Xiping didn't fire a single shot, even if there were pheasants and hares running past him, he would ignore them.

Don't mention it's a string of money, let alone hurt it.

If you can't hurt this guy, then you can only find a way to drive him away, but how can you drive him away?

Sheng Xiping looked at the big snake with its mouth still open and spitting out the letter in front of him, and was in trouble for a while.

"Dad, you brought cigarettes, right? Throw them down quickly."

Suddenly, Sheng Xiping remembered, as if the snake was afraid of the smoke, so he hurriedly shouted to the mountain wall.

"Ah, I brought it, I took it." Sheng Liancheng, who was above him, hurriedly responded.

Sheng Liancheng smokes, but he doesn't have much addiction, and he can smoke or not.

Zhang Shuzhen thinks that the smell of old dry tobacco is too strong, and Sheng Liancheng is also a work leader after all, and it doesn't look good to have a cigarette bag all day long, so Sheng Liancheng usually smokes rolls.

Anyway, it’s not too expensive to smoke. Usually at home, there are cigarettes that cost only a dime, such as handshake, Dajian, etc., and it’s better to bring a box when you go out.

This time up the mountain, Sheng Liancheng brought several boxes of handshake, not for smoking, but mainly for smoking mosquitoes in the mountains.

So when Sheng Xiping yelled, he threw a box down.

Sheng Xiping ran to pick up the cigarettes, opened the case and took out the cigarettes, trying to tie a dozen cigarettes to a wooden stick.

Then lit all the cigarettes together with a match, and held up a stick to smoke the big snake.

Snakes are already afraid of smoke, let alone tobacco smoke.

After being smoked like this, the snake couldn't bear it a little bit, its tail exerted force, and most of its body retracted.

When the snake retreated, Sheng Xiping chased after it. Anyway, the stick in his hand was quite long, so he could smoke the snake anyway.

As a result, the snake was retreated steadily by the smoke in Sheng Xiping's hand.

In the end, he slipped down from the big tree and hid in the grass without knowing where he was going.

The big snake left, and the bundle of cigarettes was almost burned. Sheng Xiping handed the stick to Sheng Xi'an, telling him to keep an eye on it at all times. If the snake came out, he might as well smoke it with the stick.

"Dad, hurry up and find the rope, and get all the tools for lifting the ginseng down from above.

I have to lift this ginseng tree first, and I will talk about the others later. "

At this time, the two ginseng trees on the top of the mountain wall were no longer cared about, and it was important to carry the king of ginseng out first.

"It's best to move our hut here and keep it here, so that others don't steal our things."

There are so many ginseng under the mountain wall that it can't be lifted in a day or two. You have to live near here and watch them slowly.

So the hut at the other end doesn't need to be used, and all the things for food and use have to be moved here.

As soon as the father and father heard it, they immediately responded.

Then Sheng Liancheng led the third son to mark the two ginseng trees found earlier, and covered them with grass and branches to prevent others from finding out and digging them up.

Then, the two tied the tools for carrying ginseng together, ran them down with ropes, and gave them to Sheng Xiping and his brothers.

After finishing the work, the father and father hurried back to the camp, packed up all the things in the shack, and then transported all the large and small packages here with their straps.

Just above the mountain wall, next to the hillside of the two ginseng trees, a shack was built again.

Under the mountain wall, Sheng Xiping cleared the grass around the king of ginseng, then tore off a piece of cloth from his belt again, and tied it to the stalk of the king of ginseng to mark it.

"Come on, second child, come with me and kowtow to this old ginseng king."

Sheng Xiping gave Sheng Xi'an a hand, and the two brothers knelt down in front of the ginseng tree.

Sheng Xiping clasped his hands together, and muttered something, "Old King Shen, Sheng Xiping, the younger generation, dared to ask you to come out of the mountain today, no wonder."

A gust of wind blew by, and the ginseng seeds on the top of the ginseng king's head shook twice with the wind, and he seemed to be nodding in agreement.

Sheng Xiping led his younger brother, and smacked old Shen Wang three times in a row.

Only then did the deer bone sticks be taken out, and they began to go down the stalks, pushing aside the surrounding turf and soil layers, and lifted the ginseng out bit by bit.

This ginseng tree is obviously very big, the reed head alone is very long, and the reed bowls on it are so densely packed that it is impossible to count them. One can tell at a glance that this ginseng tree is quite old.

The more he dug down, the more careful Sheng Xiping became. He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, if the deer bone stick was cut somewhere, the value of this ginseng tree would be greatly reduced.

Sheng Xiping concentrated on carrying the ginseng, but Sheng Xi'an was a bit smarter this time, and knew how to collect firewood and build a fire to smoke the mosquitoes.

After the fire was finished, I squatted down next to my brother, and used my sleeve to wipe his brother's sweat from time to time.

At this time, Sheng Xiping didn't care about what to say to his brother, and there was only one thing to do right now, which was to carry the ginseng out as perfectly as possible.

This ginseng tree is absolutely valuable, so it cannot be damaged in the slightest.

After Sheng Liancheng and his son built the hut again, the sky gradually darkened.

On Sheng Xiping's side, he just lifted out his two beards, and the ginseng only showed his shoulders.

"Oh my god, this is not small. Why do I feel that this shoulder is thicker than Xiaofeng's arm?"

Sheng Xi'an held back all afternoon and didn't dare to make a sound. Seeing his brother standing up from the ground and stretching his arms and legs, he finally dared to make a sound.

"You really know how to compare, Xiaofeng was skinny and skinny before, but after coming to our house, he has gained some flesh.

His fine arms can be compared with this? "

Sheng Xiping shook his head as soon as he heard it. Judging from the exposed shoulders of this ginseng tree, it was much thicker than Chen Feng's slender arms.That child will have to be raised for a while.

"Let's go, let's go up, it's too late to carry on, rest for the night, and we'll come down at dawn tomorrow morning."

Sheng Xiping looked up at the sky, they were under the mountain wall, the light was already dim, and it got dark early.

If it was a smaller ginseng, Sheng Xiping would still dare to carry it with a torch. This is the king of ginseng, and if it gets even a little bit broken, he will be so heartbroken to death.

Sheng Xiping didn't dare, so let's go up honestly, get up early tomorrow and come down to carry the ginseng.

If you spare a day tomorrow, it's almost enough.
