Ye Tian innocently pointed to the soup pot and said, "Lao Hu, I didn't finish the meal. Most of it was thrown into the soup."
"You...you are wasting your natural resources!"
Hu Hongde has been collecting ginseng for ten years, and apart from using it to kill people, he has never seen anyone eat ginseng. If he hadn't felt that he couldn't beat Ye Tian, he would have even thought about taking action now.
"Lao Hu, are you short of money?" Seeing Hu Hongde's angry look, Ye Tian suddenly asked.
"Most of my body is going to be buried, so why do I need money?" Hu Hongde replied angrily.
Ye Tian slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, you are not short of money, why do you keep this mallet? Besides, do you think this thing can be bought by ordinary people to kill themselves?"
Ye Tian patted Hu Hongde on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just this fifty-year-old mallet, which costs hundreds of thousands and doesn't even want to take a look at it. Can ordinary people afford it? Don't even think about it. Instead of making those mallets cheaper,
If you are rich, why don't you use it to replenish your health..."
Ye Tian had a vivid memory of the experience of buying ginseng. Millions of dollars in the medicinal material market were not considered money at all. Some stores even collected some old wild ginseng. If they were not powerful customers, they would not be considered money at all.
Not taken out.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, ginseng has never been within the reach of ordinary people. Instead of keeping it and being bought at a high price, Ye Tian felt that it would be better to eat it and get more benefits.
"But...but this is a good thing!" Hu Hongde was a little confused by what Ye Tian said. Although he felt that what he said was wrong, he could not find the words to refute.
"nice one?"
Ye Tian curled his lips, "It's only good when you eat it in your stomach. It's useless if you keep this thing at home. I said, Old Hu, you are over sixty years old, why are you still so concerned about foreign objects?"
Can’t you see it?”
"I...I didn't look away!" Hu Hongde felt a little ashamed after being told by Ye Tian. Did he really do something wrong?
Seeing Hu Hongde go around, Ye Tian smiled and said: "Okay, what do I do? Hurry up, skin the roe deer, wash it, roast it and eat it!"
In fact, Ye Tiansheng's consumption of ginseng was really a waste of natural resources. If the Gou Xin family knew about it, they would probably blame him.
You should know that the older the old wild ginseng is, the better the medicinal effect will be. Several prescriptions left by Li Shanyuan use wild ginseng as the main medicine and combine it with other medicinal materials to refine the elixir. Its efficacy is much stronger than eating it raw.
Already.
After washing and peeling the roe deer, the pot of Feilong soup was also cooked. Ye Tian took down the iron pot, threaded a linden branch through the roe deer, and set it on the campfire to roast it.
After drinking the Feilong soup made from half a stick of fourth-grade leaves and chewing up half of the ginseng in it, Ye Tian said with some lingering thoughts: "Old Hu, these fifty-year-old medicines are still not enough.
I have been practicing my skills for a week and have absorbed the essence inside. I wonder what fresh ginseng that is more than a hundred years old is like?"
"No, don't even think about it, Ye Tian, if you are interested in the sixth-grade leaves, I won't dig up this ginseng!"
Hu Hongde was afraid of Ye Tian, so he glanced at him and said: "The old ginseng with six-grade leaves is what I want to give to Uncle Gou, but you can't eat it!"
Ye Tian laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Am I like that kind of person?"
"It's not like that, you are!" Hu Hongde didn't save any face for Ye Tian, and Ye Tian had a resentful expression on his face.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Ye Tian angrily tore off a roasted golden roe deer leg and started to eat it. There was old wine prepared by Hu Hongde next to it, and the two of them drank it happily.
"By the way, Lao Hu, we didn't bring sleeping bags or tents. Where can we stay in this cold weather?" After eating, Ye Tian put out the campfire with snow and looked up at the sky, but the sun was already gone.
It's almost time to go down the mountain.
"Follow me and I won't freeze you. Let's go. We still have about an hour to go!"
Hu Hongde carefully covered the bonfire that had been extinguished at night with a layer of snow. Forests are most prone to fires in winter, and a slight mistake can ignite the entire forest.
After packing their things, the two of them went back into the forest. The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun shone on the white snow, shining with unusually magnificent colors.
"Huh? What is that?"
After going down a slope and just walking into an old forest, Ye Tian saw a flash of yellow on the trees seven or eight meters ahead.
"Hey, is it a big page or a purple page?" Hu Hongde followed the sound, with a hint of surprise on his face, and stretched out his hand to take out the crossbow.
Ye Tian also saw it clearly. It turned out to be a mink with yellowish and purple fur. This thing was not afraid of people. It was lying on a tree seven or eight meters above the ground, looking at Ye Tian and Hu Hongde curiously.
"Old Hu, slow down, you can't hit this thing!" Ye Tian held down Hu Hongde's hand crossbow aimed at Sable.
As if sensing Hu Hongde's hostility, the mink let out a "squeak" in its mouth and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Hu Hongde calmly held the crossbow, looked at Ye Tian angrily, and said anxiously: "Ye Tian, what's wrong? This purple leaf is rare, and the fur is the best!"
There are three treasures in Changbai Mountain: ginseng, deer antlers and sable skins, but most of those sold outside are farmed or planted. Wild sables like this are very rare.
"Old Hu, you can eat anything in this mountain and hunt anything, but this mink, you are not allowed to hurt it!"
Ye Tian put away his usual playful smile when he spoke. Due to his stupidity, Ye Tian would not see anyone killing a mink, even if the sable and the ferret were not the same species.
"I'm not afraid of this fox fairy. What's wrong with beating a mink?"
Hu Hongde was a little confused. He had shot at least 180 Changbai Mountain martens in the past few decades. The animal protection department couldn't control him. Why was it that Ye Tian was not allowed to hunt them?
"I have a ferret, and it has the same surname. You have a murderous spirit, so be careful of it biting you..."
"Okay, if I don't want to fight, I won't fight. I'll go to the capital with you later and let me see if the mink is as magical as you said?"
Ye Tian told Hu Hongde, and he was surprised when he heard that Hu Hongde had encountered many spiritual animals in the mountains, but he had never seen anything like what Ye Tian said.
"We're here, let's stay here for the night!"
After the two of them chatted and walked for more than an hour, they passed through an old forest. On the gentle slope in front of them, a small wooden house suddenly appeared. There was a fence around the wooden house.
"Old Hu, who built this?" Ye Tian didn't expect that there was actually a house to live in in this deep mountain and old forest.
"This wooden house is almost a hundred years old, and it is specially used for people who go to the mountains to collect medicine."
When he came here, Hu Hongde breathed a sigh of relief. The temperature in Changbai Mountain at night could reach as low as twenty or thirty degrees below zero. Even if he had strong energy and blood, he would be frozen into popsicles after staying in the snow for a night.
"Wait, don't go in yet." Just as Ye Tian opened the fence and was about to push the door open, he was grabbed by Hu Hongde behind him.
"Someone has been here, and it was just in the past few days!" Hu Hongde squatted down and swept away a layer of snow at the door with his hands, and several footprints were clearly exposed.
Ye Tian said with some disapproval: "Old Hu, didn't you say that this place is for people to go into the mountains to collect medicine?"
"In this month, not many people dare to enter Changbai Mountain. Even if they don't freeze to death, they will get lost in the old forest."
Hu Hongde showed a trace of hatred on his face, "It's Blind Meng. Apart from me, he is the only one in Changbai Mountain who dares to enter the mountain at this time!"
In winter, Changbai Mountain is almost covered with white snow, making it difficult to identify the direction. Even the most experienced veterans would not enter the mountain unless they had to. Hu Hongde immediately thought of Blind Meng.
"It's best if you can meet them, Lao Hu, rest peacefully for the night, and go find them tomorrow!" When Ye Tian heard that it was Meng Xiazi, murderous intent loomed in Ye Tian's eyes. It would feel like being taken care of by someone who is proficient in magic.
Not comfortable.
Hu Hongde nodded and said: "Since they are here, they don't want to leave the mountain again!"
In order to hunt down the fire fox, he chased it for three days and three nights. When it comes to tracking skills in the mountains, Hu Hongde is definitely the only one in the Changbai Mountains——
Two hills away from the wooden house where Ye Tian and his wife lived, there was also a wooden house with a bonfire burning inside. Several people were looking at a bloody tiger skin.
Next to the tiger skin, there was a pile of tiger bones piled on the ground. These were all good things and could be sold for a sky-high price. As for the tiger meat, they threw it away. The taste of the tiger meat was a bit sour, but it didn’t taste good.
What people want to eat.
Guo Zichen did not hide the greed in his eyes at all. Isn't it just for this tiger skin that he took such a big risk to enter the Changbai Mountains?
After peeking at Blind Meng, Guo Zichen raised his thumb and said, "Mr. Meng, your marksmanship is so good. If you take out this tiger skin, it will be worth at least 500,000 yuan!"
This Siberian tiger was shot down by Meng Xiazi, and the bullet penetrated through the right eye. There was not a single bullet hole in the tiger skin, and there was not even any damage to the hair. A tiger skin of this quality is rare.
The price on the market is extremely high.
Blind Meng's complexion was much better than the previous few days. He shook his head and said, "If we go back to the mountains tomorrow, I always feel something is wrong. That old guy Hu Hongde might chase him into the mountains!"
People like Meng Xiazi, although their skills have not reached the level of Ye Tian, have been wandering in the Changbai Mountains for many years and have experienced many life and death dangers. They have a keen awareness of danger that is different from ordinary people.
"Mr. Meng? We have hunted a tiger, why are we still going into the mountains? The real thing is to go out quickly and get rid of the tiger skin!"
After hearing what Blind Meng said, the expressions of Guo Zichen and others changed. They only went to the mountain to seek money. Now that the tiger skin is right in front of them, how could they want to stay in this ice and snow?
