The ginseng gang has its own rules. After carrying the mallet, it will cut omens nearby.
The so-called sign of cutting is to peel off the bark of the tree in the direction where the mallet is found. The height of the bark is determined by the distance between the mallet and the tree. A horizontal bar corresponding to the number of leaves of the mallet is carved on the upper right, and a horizontal bar is carved on the lower left.
The number of people joining the gang.
This is the mark made after the mallet was discovered.
Lift out the position of the mallet and backfill it with soil, which is called a refill.
If ginseng seeds are obtained, remove the ginseng seed skin from the entrance and then sow seeds around the lifted stick, which is called "scattering ginseng seeds."
At the place where the ginseng seeds are sown, stick branches on top and sharpen the top to prevent other people or wild animals from stepping on them. This is called flower arrangement.
Rules are good rules, they can ensure to a certain extent that the stick is not exhausted.
But rules are dead and people are alive.
Bangchui is a rare thing, so if you don’t want to take possession of it, that’s all lies.
I'm afraid not many people will make such a mark.
And now, to Lu Lu, the many places marked on these pages of the animal skin book were signs of being chopped out one by one. If you find such places, the chance of finding the stick will greatly increase.
After carefully looking at the marked places again, Lu Lu felt that he still thought too much.
"This is not a rare thing. When I first got this animal skin book, after I figured out that the marked places were the places where the sticks were produced, I was happy for a long time. I thought I had got a treasure. With this
This animal skin book can make you rich and powerful just by picking a stick.
But, as you can see, my current situation is not like that.
Most of the places marked above are indeed places where sticks are produced, but there are too many people carrying sticks. When you arrive, you will find that they are all places that have been searched countless times. All you can find is
Some three flowers, palms and the like.
Of course, if you have the chance, you can go to the Far East and cross the Changbai Mountain to have a look. Few people go there, and you should gain a lot.
The reason I give you this thing is actually to let you learn the same skill—viewing mountain scenery."
Jiang Zewei lifted up the tarpaulin of the car and spat out the bitter water after smoking.
Lu Lu probably thought of what he said.
During the off-season, a few people can be asked to rush into the mountains in search of sticks. Not to mention these laymen who join the temporary gang, even those who are stationed in the mountains and make a living by carrying sticks all year round don't know how many people there are.
Apart from particularly dangerous places, are there any places that no one has ever searched?
Therefore, it is indeed unrealistic to dream of making a fortune based on this picture.
However, this picture also allowed Lu Lu to see the strength of the ginseng gang. There were many marks outside the country and in the Far East where the sticks were raised. Such a large area... was incredible.
Among them, Xiaoxing'an Mountains, Waixing'an Mountains and Daxing'an Mountains are all marked, but there are many fewer marks than other places, especially the Daxingan Mountains. There are only four places marked.
As for what Jiang Zewei mentioned outside the country, the Far East... it is indeed possible, but I can't think of it now.
Just like the Far East, it is difficult to think about it now.
Lao Maozi is supporting Annan to act as a monster in the southwest, and there are also heavy troops stationed on the northeastern border.
If a time like this passes, it means being locked in an iron cage and looking for death.
If you want to get over, you still have to wait for several years. When Lao Maozi disintegrates, the economy collapses, and cans can be exchanged for airplanes, it will be convenient to get over as an international bankrupt.
However, Lu Lu had other ideas about this picture.
These marked places, densely packed with lines and points, also highlight many inaccessible places.
For example, the three bald men mentioned by Jiang Zewei are in inaccessible places.
Jiang Zewei must have taken advantage of this to think of going to that kind of place.
Lu Lu thought to himself: "As expected of someone who has the courage to form a gang!"
Hearing Jiang Zewei talk about mountain scenery, Lu Lu couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what is mountain scenery?"
"That's how to release the mountains."
Jiang Zewei took a deep breath: "Fangshan doesn't mean that you go into the mountain and drill everywhere. It doesn't mean that you won't find the stick, but that the chance is too small. It's really a matter of luck. But if you know how to appreciate the mountain scenery,
, that would be different.
The so-called mountain view is to judge whether a place has a good location based on the direction of the mountain, the distribution of trees, the height of the terrain, the slope direction of the sun and the sun, and the density of clouds and fog."
When he said this, Lu Lu understood immediately.
This is clearly talking about finding an environment suitable for the growth of sticks and picking up sticks.
One of the big problems why Bangchui is rare is that this thing has extremely high requirements for the growth environment. Even in the vast mountains and thousands of miles of mountains, there are not many suitable places for growth.
Knowing how to look for places like this is the only way to have a chance of finding Bang Chui.
And this is also one of the abilities that must be mastered to become the leader of the Shen Gang. Otherwise, how to lead the Shen Gang.
Not everyone can learn to appreciate mountain scenery easily. This is a skill that requires a lot of experience.
"I gave you this animal skin book. In my opinion, one of the biggest functions is to master your own method of finding sticks by going to these places and observing the mountain scenery. Everyone has his or her own way to view the mountain scenery.
The more proficient you are in the method and the more accurately you grasp it, the greater your chance of finding a big stick.
I will tell you the tricks I know, but you still need to look more, think more, and come up with your own way to view the mountain scenery.
Another effect is that there are no marked places in the large area. It does not mean that there are no sticks in these places, but it is too dangerous... You are the one who has the ability to break through.
That's how I and a few brothers went there. When the stick was carried and the brothers' lives were handed down, we were not strong enough!"
Jiang Zewei shook his head and sighed. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, silent.
Sure enough, Jiang Zewei and Lu Lu's ideas were consistent on this point. They mainly used those vacant places. Because they were dangerous, few people set foot there, so they had a greater chance of finding high-aged sticks.
"Not only do you have to learn to appreciate the mountain scenery, you also have to learn some of your own experiences. For example, most places where clubs are found are venomous snakes guarding them. If you encounter venomous snakes in the mountains, the more poisonous snakes there are, the greater the possibility of having a big club.
."
Lu Lu understands this. The presence of big sticks often indicates that there will be a large stick group in such a place, especially during the fruiting period. Many small animals and birds that like to eat ginseng seeds will be attracted, and poisonous snakes will be attracted.
Use this to entangle and hunt prey.
Many of the places where venomous snakes originally roamed were suitable places for club growth.
It's not the so-called protection, it's just mutual influence.
"Also, pay attention to the mallet bird. There is an old saying that goes like this: If you want to dig for precious ginseng, you have to find the mallet bird. You often hunt, so you should know the mallet bird, right?"
Jiang Zewei asked with a smile.
Lu Lu nodded.
The stick bird is a bird that likes to eat ginseng seeds.
When you go into the mountains to look for the stick bird, if you find a place where this kind of bird is flying and singing, many mountain rangers will go to the place where the stick bird is found to take a closer look.
For mountaineers, the stick bird is undoubtedly a good guide.
Of course, this also depends on the season. When there are no ginseng seeds in the stick, it is obviously very unreliable.
"Also, dreams! This is also part of the mountain scenery." Jiang Zewei said solemnly.
This made Lu Lu somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal.
As far as he knew of the various sayings about carrying a stick, the word "auspicious" was everywhere, and it was all for a good sign.
As everyone knows, what Jiang Zewei said next made Lu Lu silent for a while.
"It's a little bit mysterious that everyone is looking for good luck when carrying a stick, but I have to say that this is indeed a matter of luck, so don't ignore it."
Jiang Zewei's words are equivalent to telling Lu Lu that luck is also a part of strength.
Some things are indeed mysterious.
Lu Lu thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.
It's like he was reborn, the explanation is unclear and it's impossible to get to the bottom of it.
Next, Jiang Zewei began to explain in detail to Lu Lu the rules of carrying a stick, which can occupy a place in Northeastern culture. It contains quite a lot of information, which cannot be explained in a short time.
Lu Lu kept listening carefully.
Although it is a car, it is really not very fast.
The biggest advantage is that it lasts!
It was swaying along the way, making people drowsy.
Even the horses and hunting dogs in the car couldn't bear it. Lu Lu felt particularly uncomfortable when he looked at Yuan Bao who was vomiting behind the car and showing signs of motion sickness.
He couldn't help but think that when he came out of the mountains, he would be able to walk with Zhui Feng and Yuan Bao.
Except for eating and resting time, they were entering various places. When there was an inspection, Lu Lu took several people's guns and took a detour to avoid it. The rest of the time was in the car.
The two drivers must have been specifically warned not to drive slowly along the way, nor to make things difficult when they went to a restaurant to solve the problem of eating. After more than 400 kilometers, they just followed Jiang Zewei's instructions and arrived outside Weihe Town in the evening.
Several people did not enter the town. They brought tents and the like and could stay outside in the mountains. The key was to carry sticks into the mountains. This was something that could easily lead to disaster, so they all knew that they should not make it public.
The horses and hunting dogs got out of the car, all of them were weak and looked languid.
After paying the two drivers, they went to the town to spend the night. Several people led their horses and dogs in the nearby mountains and fields, choosing a place with leeward direction, facing the sun and facing the water, and prepared to stay here for the night.
Lu Lu brought the tent with him, which made things more convenient. The tent was set up and could accommodate five people with bedding. After entering the mountain, there was no need to cut wood and cut grass to build a tent to sleep in the open.
"It seems that we have to take another day off tomorrow."
In the condition of the horses and hunting dogs, they could never rush into the mountains, especially since Yuan Bao, Lu Lu's biggest support, was motionless all the way. When he got to the place, he lay on the ground and was too lazy to move.
"It's time to have a good rest. Take advantage of the time and go to the town tomorrow to buy some things you need to go into the mountains!"
Jiang Zewei had no objection either.
His donkey staggered when walking, so it would be even more impossible to carry him into the mountains. Moreover, he was an old man, and after all the hardships along the way, he should be the one who couldn't stand it the most.
That night, Jiang Zewei took off the three treasure sticks that had been tied to the donkey and gave the most beautiful one to Lu Lu.
