Jiang Zewei pondered for a moment, then turned around and spoke to Lu Lu. When Lu Lu nodded, he immediately rode his donkey towards the direction where the sound came from.
"Brother Lu, what's going on?"
Chen Xiuqing took two steps and asked in a low voice.
"This is someone letting go of the mountain. If something goes wrong, it's either Madashan or he's injured."
Lu Lu explained quietly: "In addition to picking up grass and leaves to find sticks, the Soba Stick is used for self-defense and is convenient for mountain climbing. It also has the biggest function of transmitting signals. When you go up the mountain, you don't talk, just rely on the Soba Stick.
Communication, this is called 'calling stick'.
For example, knocking once indicates one's position; knocking twice means moving one's head closer and taking a temporary rest; knocking three times means ending the search and going down the mountain to rest. If the knocking is continuous, it is a dead blow and a distress signal.
It’s hard to make a living in these deep mountains, so when you hear the sound of the stick, you should go and have a look and help anyone you can, because no one can guarantee that they will not get into trouble in this mountain."
"I understand!" Chen Xiuqing nodded.
He behaved very well during the time he went into the mountains. He knew that he should talk less when he was in the mountains, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he always controlled his mouth tightly. Most of the time, he just kept his head down and did things.
Now that it was difficult to ask questions out loud when encountering a situation, Lu Lu told him seriously. This was also said to Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo.
The rules of mountain climbing are mainly popular in places like Changbai Mountain where there are many sticks. When it comes to Xing'an Mountains, there are far fewer people releasing mountains, and they only have a few words about this aspect.
This is also the method that will be used next, Lu Lu took the opportunity to inform you.
The group of people followed the sound and moved forward carefully, following the mountain waves down the ravine, and then climbed up to the halfway point of the mountain diagonally opposite. They saw a man knocking on the trees with a treasure stick.
He must have been in the mountains for a long time. This man looked unkempt, with many scratches on his body and face. His entire face was swollen, his face was pale, and he looked depressed.
Suddenly he heard a sound coming from the trees below. He first shrank back from the big tree in fear, and then stuck his head out to take a closer look. When he discovered the group of people coming, his expression became happy and excited.
"Man, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Zewei asked aloud.
"I'm in Madashan and can't go out. I was chased by a blind bear in the morning. I'm lucky. I managed to escape. But this road is even more confusing. I don't know where I am. It's been three days.
I couldn’t walk anymore, and I didn’t even have anything to eat, so I just ate some raw mushrooms and wild vegetables.”
The man's eyes turned red as he spoke. He was a big man and couldn't help but shed tears. He grabbed his sleeves and wiped them: "I've met you...help me, thank you all!"
Lu Lu and others were also looking at this person. It seemed that they saw several people looking at the cloth bag they were carrying. The person suddenly became cautious again and hurriedly hid the bag behind him.
Seeing him like this, he knew without telling him that going into the mountains would definitely be rewarding.
If you still protect me after everything is like this, you really want your wealth rather than your life.
"Where are the rest of you?" Jiang Zewei asked again.
"Just...just me!" the man said hesitantly.
Lu Lu frowned slightly: "There's just one guy... you're so awesome. You dare to fight with a single stick in this big mountain."
Danguangcuo refers to a person going into the mountains to find a stick without joining a gang, which is also called a one-on-one challenge.
In such a big mountain, there are not many people who dare to fight alone. Even if there are, they are in the outer areas. Only those with considerable ability dare to do it. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people just want to hit the big mountain.
Transported into the mountains.
"Since we're in trouble, it's time to help us. It's almost noon, and there's water in the ditch below. Let's just get some food here... Man, we're kidnapping and cutting tree bark along the way.
Yeah, when you're full, just keep walking along, and when you turn over, you'll see the three bald men. When you get there, you should be able to find the way out, right?"
Jiang Zewei didn't want to ask too many questions. It was taboo to ask people who carried sticks and harvests when meeting people in the mountains. Therefore, most of the people who released the mountains kept their whereabouts secret, just to hide their whereabouts and fear of being coveted by others.
"That's where we went...Thank you. As long as I see the three bald guys, I can find them!"
Each mountain is higher than the other. In a place like this, there is really no good way to see the obvious landmarks. You can't see far at all. If you turn around, they all seem to be the same.
Lu Lu and his party didn't say much, and started to cook on the fire. While the rice and pork belly soup pot was cooking, a few people sat aside, rested, and chatted.
The rice was not yet cooked. Yuan Bao, who had been resting next to Lu Lu, suddenly stood up, looked at the mountains behind and let out a deep "Wang".
"Someone is coming!"
When he saw Yuan Bao like this, Lu Lu immediately grabbed the semi-automatic machine leaning against the tree trunk and stood up.
The other three people also reacted immediately and were on guard.
What none of them expected the most was that when this man heard someone coming, he grabbed the cloth bag he carried with him and ran down into the woods without even saying hello. He was not at all the sluggish look he had before.
"What...what's going on? Why is he running away?"
Zhao Yongke asked as he looked at the people who ran into the forest below several times and disappeared quickly.
"What could be going on? I guess it's probably a black ticket!"
Lu Lu shook his head slightly and whispered: "We don't get involved in this matter, and we don't know anything."
One less thing is worse than one more thing. Lu Lu didn't want to cause more trouble.
The term "black ticket" refers to the behavior of someone in the gang having second thoughts, carrying the mallet, stealing the mallet and running away, which is called "black ticket".
The mallet is worth a lot of money, and it is too easy to get evil thoughts if you get a good mallet.
Pulling the Participating Gang into the mountains is a community of interests. For the sake of internal harmony, after lifting the stick, the people participating in the Participating Gang, regardless of men, women, old and young, will equally share the harvest. Even the most core figure, the leader, will
No exception.
Of course, we can also discuss it with everyone and give more rewards to those who have made great contributions.
Getting a black ticket is the most intolerable thing among gang members.
Not long after, a group of six people came down the hillside. They seemed to see Lu Lu and others holding weapons in their hands. They did not approach immediately, but looked at these people from a distance.
After a while, the leader, a man in his fifties with some gray hair, walked down and asked very cautiously: "Gentlemen, may I ask, have you seen..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly saw a treasure stick on the ground. He immediately reached out and grabbed it, shouting to the people behind him: "That bitch has been here before."
When the guy ran away, he only took the cloth bag and didn't ask for the treasure stick. He ran in a hurry.
When several people heard this, they ran down and looked at the treasure stick.
"Gentlemen, can you tell us where this person went?"
The leading man asked.
Lu Lu and others said nothing.
Jiang Zewei looked up at the people, took off the pipe and pot from his mouth, and said nothing. He just spat in the direction where the man ran away.
When several people saw this, they seemed to understand something and immediately chased after the man in the direction of his escape.
A group of people left just as quickly as they came, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye!
"What the hell, if I had known he was a blackmailer, don't worry about him!" Jiang Zewei muttered: "I hate this kind of person the most, he has no loyalty."
I simply thought that I was in trouble in the mountains. I didn't expect that it would be such a person, and everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Uncle, what do you do if you are caught with a black ticket?"
Liang Kangbo is more interested in this issue.
Hearing his question, Chen Xiuqing, Zhao Yongke and Lu Lu all put away their guns and sat around.
"There is only one penalty."
Jiang Zewei glanced at the few people, smiled slightly and said: "If the person who picked up the black ticket is found or caught, his clothes will be stripped off, tied to a big tree, and asked to bite him.
The small bites in the mountains are much bigger and more poisonous than those at home. One bite is a bag, which is painful and itchy. It makes him scream, scream, and is covered in blood.
Even bitten to death."
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt horrified.
"It's not easy to form a ginseng gang, and it's even harder to lift a stick. It's best not to have second thoughts."
Jiang Zewei looked at a few people and said something that sounded alarming.
"Just like when you go hunting in the mountains, when you carry a stick, you also need to pay attention to the principle of 'the man's heart is in harmony with the horse's saddle'. If you are not that person, don't even think about doing things with him.
This person needs to be in harmony with each other and be comfortable and at ease. You guys, please learn more from Xiao Lu. He is reliable and down-to-earth. He is also cheerful and knows how to take care of his brothers. If he is
The leader will be a good leader."
After hearing this, several people looked at Lu Lu in unison and smiled.
Chen Xiuqing was even more direct: "Anyway, I listen to Brother Lu on everything."
Jiang Zewei reached out and patted Chen Xiuqing on the shoulder: "You are lucky, kid."
Seeing that several people were very interested in this matter, Jiang Zewei rolled up a dry cigarette and lit it, and then talked about the punishment for those who cheated on the ticket.
In the old days, in this wilderness, no matter whether they were hunting, gold mining, farming, or growing tobacco, those who had evil intentions after seeing wealth were punished in this way.
Even bandits have such a mountain rule. However, among bandits, tying people up and biting them is the lightest punishment.
The people who give the mountain the most grudge are those who get black tickets. No one says that the punishment is too severe for such people. They all think it is reasonable.
No one in the ginseng gang has any sympathy for this kind of person. It is everyone’s blood and sweat when it is lifted to the stick. Everyone feels aggrieved to be embezzled without conscience.
If you are caught in a gang and run away with a black ticket, if the circumstances are serious, you have to kneel in front of the mountain god for three days and three nights, burn incense for three days and three nights, kowtow for three days and three nights, and then tie it to a tree to be bitten by mosquitoes.
, because for breaking the heaviest mountain rules, the punishment must be the heaviest.
Of course, although the method of punishment is the same for those who have blacklisted tickets, the severity of the punishment is also different depending on the circumstances.
If there are a lot of sticks and they are valuable, then the punishment will naturally be the strictest. If the value is not high, just ask Xiaoqiao to bite it off. You should apologize to the mountain god and reflect on yourself. You Shen has the final say on this.
The most serious way to do it is to join the gang and take the house to move to another place after being caught and tied to a big tree, or to break up the gang and go down the mountain. Whether the punished person can go back alive depends on whether the mountain god will let him or not.
Alive.
In fact, this is also important when tying. When tying, the rope leaves a living mouth. The tied person has to go through a lot of trouble to untie it. There are also cases where the living mouth is killed during the struggle. In this way, it is not easy to survive.
.
To put it bluntly, life or death still depends on the human heart.
The kind of person who refuses to admit his or her wrongdoing will only be left with a dead knot that cannot be untied.
There are various situations involved in this punishment. Jiang Zewei told Lu Lu in detail.
For example, if a person who punishes a black ticket suddenly encounters an outsider arriving, he will be exempted from punishment. The older generation thinks that this is a person sent by the mountain god to protect him.
If someone has second thoughts and takes the initiative to hand over the things to admit his mistake and repent, the people who join the gang will not blame him and make things difficult for him, but will support this behavior.
At the end of the day, there is still a saying, a stick is precious and gold is precious, everyone has desires, and when it comes to big products, there are really few people who can control them without any selfishness at all.
Listening to Jiang Zewei talking about these things, several people also looked at each other with emotion.
The person who probably has the least ideological baggage is Chen Xiuqing. When she gets to him, she only has one sentence: "Anyway, I listen to Brother Lu."
"Do you think that person will be caught?" Zhao Yongke suddenly asked.
"Looking at him like that, it's hard to escape." Liang Kangbo shook his head: "I'm very curious now, what kind of big goods did he carry and was chased like this."
Lu Lu just smiled faintly and did not express any opinion.
He looked at the almost cooked food and urged: "Eat quickly, we have to hurry after eating."
