Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 257 Ginseng Doll
"I know! Is there anything else you want to bring?" A group of children agreed very neatly.

"By the way, bring a few big baskets. The fruits for wine making must not be crushed at all. Everyone put the wild fruits back in the baskets so as not to be crushed. Wait a minute, I'll bring you candies! "Huang Zhuo's father saw that these obedient children also liked it very much, so he hurriedly took out a bag of candy from the house and asked Su Mu to share it with everyone.

"Dad, did you get a bag of candy?" Huang Zhuo looked strange, there was no such thing in his yard.

His father smiled and replied: "Your mother asked me to bring it, saying that it was your blind date or something, and it had to be given to the matchmaker or the woman. We have this custom, and I bought it for Mrs. Mei of Qiancun. The blind date over there hasn’t been decided yet, so I’ll bring them all here.”

"Ahem, that's about it, we're ready to go." When mentioning the blind date, Huang Zhuo hurriedly changed the subject.

Just as Su Mu was about to scramble to get the big basket, Liang Dayong stopped him with a smile: "Tell the children not to squeeze the Zinier fruit, they know how to get it back, so we don't need to worry about it."

"That's right, brother Muzi, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!" Kid Wang slapped his chest, then shouted "one two one" at the top of his voice, and led the teams to set off to go up the mountain.

When passing through the back mountain, Liang Dayong specially found a few dead trees, and got everyone a convenient snake-beating stick for each of them.

When you reach a place where the grass is deep, tap the grass as you walk forward, you can scare away the snakes hiding in the grass nest in advance; if you are in a place where the grass is shallow, you can use it as a crutch.

Now is a good season to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. In summer, it is rainy in the mountainous area. Sometimes a cloud floats over from a distance and it starts to rain.

After the rain, large and small mushroom rings grow densely in the forest.

Each carrying a basket into the mountain together, if you are lucky, you will almost be able to pick a large basket if you encounter a few big mushroom rings.The villagers are not short of money now, and they often listen to Sumu explaining the principles of reasonable picking, and everyone gradually understands what can’t be done. It is true that there is a lot of money in two years, but there will be no money in the future!

After understanding this, everyone no longer needs to be told, whether it is picking mushrooms or picking wild vegetables, all are in moderation.

Even if you earn less money now, you can guarantee that you can go to the mountains every year to pick up these mountain goods in exchange for money.

In fact, there is another reason. The villagers all know that Taohua Mountain has been contracted to Su Mu. Speaking of which, everything in the mountain should belong to others!
People in the village are simple and simple, and they don't have so many tricks.

In their minds, as long as the contract is contracted, the entire Peach Blossom Mountain will be decided by Su Mu.Even if they are asked to go up the mountain every day to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables to sell, they are paid monthly anyway, so how can they be picky about what they do as part-time workers?But how kind is Su Mu, not only does he not need to be a landlord to suppress people, but he also recycles the mushrooms and wild vegetables they picked up from the mountains at normal prices!
Based on this alone, there is nothing to say!What Su Mu said was what he said, protecting Taohua Mountain, no one would complain, and he would definitely lead by example!

So when Su Mu and his party set off to go up the mountain, they didn't worry much about safety.

There is nothing to do on the farms and pastures at the moment. The villagers who have time have already gone up the mountain in groups of three or four to pick mushrooms with baskets. There are many people on the mountain. They just get some wild fruits and have no intention of going deep into the mountains It's okay to walk around with a group of children.

"The mountains here are really nice! There is not even a small bump in the plain on our side, and we don't have much chance to go out for a walk. This is the first time we have seen such a high mountain with so many mountains! There are Wolves? We won’t meet them, right?” Huang Zhuo’s father looked up at the mountain and couldn’t help sighing as he crossed the large grass field beyond the racecourse and stood at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone has seen the pack of wolves that went down the mountain inexplicably a few days ago.

But no one can figure out what's going on inside.

The children were the happiest, having fun picking up the copper bullet casings that fell on the grass; but anyone who was a little unsuperstitious was wondering what the hell was going on with the pack of wolves.

So when his father asked, Huang Zhuo took a deep breath and frowned slightly and replied: "There are really wolves on the mountain, but everyone said that they usually stay in the deep mountains and don't go out for a walk. I went down the mountain a few days ago. I still can't figure it out until now, it's too evil, that thing is really spiritual!"

"Everything in the mountains has spirituality!" Liang Dayong said in a firm tone this time, looking at Youyou Dashan with slightly squinted eyes: "I grew up listening to the old sayings in the mountains, and those old sayings are all from my ancestors. It has been passed down by word of mouth, and the ancestors are not deceiving. I heard that in the past, there were only ginseng dolls in Peach Blossom Mountain!

It is said that on the night of the full moon, as long as the sky is clear and the full moon can be seen, the whole mountain is shone brightly by the moonlight.Those who are lucky can hear the laughter of children in the deep mountains; those who are lucky, when walking in the woods at night, they can see a fat little baby wearing a red bellyband and braiding upside down. That is ginseng. baby!
I heard that there used to be an old man in the village who came back late from herding sheep on the mountain, and met a ginseng doll on the road.The old sheep herder is timid, so he dare not catch them; and if he wants to catch ginseng dolls, he must have multicolored silk thread. He is a poor sheep herder, where did he get such a thing?After much deliberation, I couldn't come up with a good way.

Later, when the ginseng doll was playing with his flock, the old sheep herding man quietly pulled a hair of it, just like this! "

Liang Dayong spoke vividly, and smoothly pulled out a hair of the little girl with pigtails, amusing a group of children.

"Uncle Dayong, tell me what happened afterwards?" Huang Zhuo had never heard of this kind of story, especially when walking in the deep and dense forest, the atmosphere of the story was very strong.

"Later? The old sheep herding man put the hair that he had pulled out in his pocket, and drove the flock back. When he was almost at the edge of the forest, the ginseng baby said nothing and walked forward, so the old man could only drive the sheep by himself. When I got home, I took out the hair from my pocket and looked, hey! It turned out to be a big ginseng!

At that time, there was the magistrate of the county, who came to buy ginseng for a large sum of money when he heard about it.The old sheep herding man stopped herding sheep when he had money. He went for a walk in the old forest every day, looking for opportunities to catch ginseng babies; because of this, many people ran to the deep mountains, trying their luck to dig ginseng back, but the ginseng was not found. I don't know where the ginseng doll has gone, anyway, no one has seen it again..."
