Chapter 605
The mountains are covered with shade, and there is not much sunshine that can be seen, but there is no gloomy feeling in the forest. It looks extremely bright, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the breeze, making Shu walk inside without any fear.
I walked slowly up the mountain road and saw a lot of herbs along the way. Shu Du told Ming Chao and others about the uses of these herbs, but in the end they didn't remember much other things except the name of the herbs.
I have seen ginseng several times along the way, but the year is not long and it is not suitable for picking.
Shu walked all the way, but his brows became even tighter.
Ming Chao looked at Shu with a puzzled look on his face and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Su, don't worry, walk a little further up the mountain and you will definitely be able to meet the ginseng you want!"
"Yeah!" Shu nodded, but after a while, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at the road behind him, and asked Mingchao: "Mingchao, I remember you said that the ginseng here is rarely picked in your village?"
"Yes!" Ming Chao said to Shu with a positive look, "This ginseng is a good thing. All the families in the village have picked it, and they have put one or two spare pieces at home! On weekdays, the patriarch and others have also warned everyone that this ginseng cannot grow in one or two years after it is picked. It is not necessary for everyone to pick it, and stay in the mountains to allow them to continue growing. Therefore, as long as there is no special needs, the people in the village will not come here to pick ginseng easily."
"Then, are there any other villages or villages near this mountain besides your village?" Shu thought for a while, and asked Mingchao curiously again.
"In a radius of hundreds of miles, there is only our village!" Ming Chao said to Shu with a certain expression, "Our village is built in this wilderness. It is impossible for anyone to be like us. Light skills are so good, right?"
Shu expressed his affirmation of Mingchao's confidence, then looked at the mountain road when he came and said to her: "If all my questions were confirmed just now, and the same as what you said, then I would be very surprised! How many years did the ginseng at the foot of this mountain come from? How could there be no one to pick?"
Ming Chao looked at Shu in confusion, not understanding what she said: "My doctor Su, there are ginseng that is of age on the top of the mountain!"
"No, Mingchao!" Shu shook his head and said to Mingchao and the others: "You can think about it and know that something is wrong."
"Mr. Su, what's wrong? We don't understand?" A little girl following couldn't help but look at Shu and asked, looking at the way he came blankly, then said, "All the people in our village at this foot of the mountain have been here, so it's normal for ginseng to be picked! When you walk some online, there will be ginseng with a higher age on the top of the mountain!"
"No, it's not right!" Shu shook his head, looked at the direction he came, and thought for a long time before asking again: "Mingchao, when was the last time the people in your village came to pick ginseng? Do you know? Everyone in your village should know this, right?"
Since the village has issued an order to try not to pick ginseng, then someone will definitely report to the village after they come! Shu thinks, with the nature of these people in this village, they should not be able to steal ginseng and sell it!
"I know! Someone came to pick ginseng. No matter how you use it, you have to report the reason to the young master and the patriarch!" Ming Chao nodded with affirmative expression and said to Shu: "Often after reporting, there will be some news in the village."
"Do you know?" Shu asked again quickly.
"I know! I remember the last time it was three years ago!" Ming Chao thought for a while and said to Shu: "It was an old man from a family in the west of the village who had suffered a disease. He drank ginseng soup for half a month and used up the ginseng at home. Then the family reported the news to the patriarch, and then came here and picked four ginseng plants that had been around for about ten years and went back..."
"Three years ago?!" Shu thought for a while, but suddenly took a step back, then looked at both sides of the mountain road, and said to Ming to them: "If we don't walk the mountain road, can we?"
"Yes! Doctor Su can go anywhere you want!" Ming Chao was stunned for a moment, but without asking too much, nodding and said, "It's just that the dew in the forest is very heavy. Doctor Su should not walk ahead, wait for us to clear the way!"
"Okay!" Shu nodded and took Ming Chao's kindness, "Then you can get a stick or something, if there are snakes and rats, you can drive it away!"
"Okay!" Ming Chao nodded quickly, looked around, and after selecting a big tree, he jumped directly, climbed the trunk of the big tree in a few seconds and climbed up. Then he cut off a branch with a short sword, cut off the fine branches, and handed it to a man following him, signaling him to walk forward to lead the way.
"Be careful. Don't step on the ginseng!" Shu looked at the man holding the branches and went into the grass ahead, and quickly reminded him: "This ginseng usually mingles in this weed, and is always lingering in the daytime. If you don't pay attention, you will mingle with the weeds. If you don't see it, you will step on it and you will have to wait a long time to continue growing, but you are very stingy!"
"Yes!" The man responded quickly, and he was also very careful when he used the branches to push the grass away.
"It's a pity that our time is not right. If it's time to dawn, when the ginseng blooms, it's better to find some!" Shu said to Mingchao while following the man.
"If Master Su thinks it's convenient, we can come at dawn!" Ming Chao quickly answered, but he didn't see the helpless smile that suddenly appeared on Shu's face.
"But, Master Su, what are we looking for? Are ginseng?" Ming Chao looked at Shu for a long time without any movement, but couldn't help but ask, "It's easy to find a lot of people on the mountain!"
"I don't want to go up the mountain, I just want to see where the ginseng at the foot of the mountain that should have been enough years have gone!" Shu shook his head and replied to Mingchao.
"Enough of the ginseng?" Ming Chao looked confused and looked around, his eyes full of confusion: "Master Su, we don't understand a little!"
