Just like that, an old man and a young man started wandering around in the mountains.
Every time Mr. Zhang found something, he would call Zhang An over and show Zhang An what they looked like.
Then he also taught Zhang An how to dig it out, what its effects were, and how to prepare it. We’ll talk about it when we get home.
Just like that, it went back and forth for a few hours.
At noon, the two of them ate the flour pancakes brought by Zhang An. They were like peach cakes and were delicious, but they needed to drink water.
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, Mr. Zhang, who was getting older, felt a little spring sleepy at this time. He found a place to rest on an exposed rock and let Zhang An wander around the forest by himself, just as a practice.
Children who grow up in the mountains are not worried about getting lost in the mountains.
Xiaohu was left to follow the second grandfather. Along the way, many snakes in the forest were scared away by Xiaohu.
Along the way, Zhang An immersed himself in observing the flowers and plants under his feet. These things grow very well in the forest, because the ground is full of nutrient-rich humus, and the shade-loving plants under the trees are like growing in heaven.
But sometimes Zhang An is also very irritable. Wild thorns grow in many places, and if you don't pay attention, they will cut your hands.
Finally, Zhang An got angry, took out the hatchet from his waist, and chopped off all of them.
This way, it will be easier for people going up the mountain behind.
Zhang An walked around the mountains for a long time and stopped to take a breath.
Suddenly, he heard a loud roar of deer in front of him. He raised his head and looked into the distance. Zhang An found that there were about six or seven deer heading towards him in the forest.
The leading male deer was still barking in his direction.
As Zhang An approached, the entire herd became a little panicked, but they did not run away.
Instead, the buck ran up to him and nuzzled Zhang An.
Damn it, this couldn't be the one I let go before, right? It wasn't long before this guy had already found the deer following it.
Zhang An patted its back closely and said, "You are living a really cool life now."
But he discovered a newly grown scar on his head.
Zhang An guessed that he had fought with something else.
This guy kept licking Zhang An's hand with his tongue, and Zhang An understood what he meant.
It wants to drink spring water. It has been this habit before.
Zhang An did not put it into the space, otherwise the herd would panic without a deer and scatter away.
Fortunately, Zhang An left a basin in the space and poured out a basin of water for it to drink. Not that that was enough, he also turned his head towards the deer behind him. This guy can also take care of his family.
Forget it, feeding one animal is the same as feeding a group.
I fed the remaining deer one by one.
There was a relatively small deer that was probably a young deer. It was a little afraid of Zhang An and was reluctant to come forward. Finally, it was frightened by the big guy and it obediently came forward to drink water.
After taking care of them all, Zhang An patted them and signaled that they could leave.
But no matter how Zhang An signaled it, it didn't lead the deer away. Instead, it pushed Zhang An with its head and walked forward.
Seeing that Zhang An did not follow it, it turned around and nudged Zhang An.
After repeating it several times, Zhang An finally discovered something unusual about it. Did he need his help?
Zhang An was very confused, but he followed it.
After walking a long way, we came to a small stream with flowing water.
Above is the source of the creek, flowing down from a cliff seven or eight meters high.
There were no wild animals or anything like that in this place, so Zhang An was very confused.
As a result, the buck started to nudge him again, pushing him toward the place where the water flowed down.
Forget it, you're here now, let's go up and have a look.
There is a steep wall at the top, and someone else might not be able to climb it.
Zhang An stepped on the slightly raised rock tips slowly and slowly, climbing up.
After some effort, I climbed up to it, and it looked like a small platform.
This is the middle of two very steep rock walls, and water flows down from the middle rock wall.
However, due to long-term accumulation, it is filled with dark soil, which is no longer humus soil.
Just when Zhang An thought there was nothing here, he suddenly felt something was different in a clump of wolfberry bushes.
He crossed the stream and walked to the wolfberry bush. He used his hands to pry open the wolfberry bush, and there was something growing that he had never dreamed of.
Zhang An observed carefully, this plant looked very much like what the second master had told him.
Palmately compound leaves, with three branches and five leaves.
But the one in front of me has five branches.
There are five branches on the main trunk, like five human palms, and each branch has five leaves.
There is another plant growing next to it, probably still a seedling, because it has only one branch and also has five leaves.
This made Zhang An's heart beat wildly.
I found ginseng, I found ginseng.
His current mood is a bit complicated. If I had to say it, it should be like Fan Jinzhongju in the book.
In his two lifetimes combined, Zhang An actually didn't live a very good life. In this life, because he had space, he has lived a relatively comfortable life until now.
Although Zhang An was full of expectations for ginseng, he always felt that it was in two different worlds from him.
Zhang An was a little confused when he suddenly found it.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhang An to wake up.
He wanted to call his second grandfather, but he was afraid that the baby in front of him would run away just like what was said in the book, and he would not be able to find it when he came back.
But it doesn't know how to dig, so it's afraid it will be damaged.
When faced with a dilemma in the end, Zhang An made up his mind to dig it himself.
Damn it, if it gets damaged, it belongs to me, I'm so scared.
Now I broke off a small branch, flattened it with a hatchet, and slowly peeled away the soil at the root of the ginseng.
This action was just like what he did on his wedding day in his previous life, when he took off his wife's clothes gently, softly and slowly.
It had been digging for a long time, and after about half an hour, I had only dug down a dozen centimeters.
The small plant next to it can be dug out directly.
Zhang An first dug the small ones into the space and planted them. The second grandfather said that it was not worth putting them out.
After placing the little ones, Zhang An continued to dig into the hole he had just made.
Just like that, half an hour passed again.
I didn't expect that the second master would find me, but I thought that Xiaohu would follow the second master and bring him to find me along the way.
"Xiao An, why are you running so far away? I'm still looking for you everywhere. If it weren't for Xiao Hu, I wouldn't be able to find you."
Mr. Zhang was a little out of breath, and he looked like he was busy looking for Zhang An all the way without rest.
Seeing the second master coming, Zhang An could finally find someone to talk to.
"Second Grandpa, I found Ginseng Bangzi, Second Grandpa."
The excited voice frightened Mr. Zhang, as if he was afraid that he heard wrongly, he asked again.
"Xiao An, what did you say? What did you find?"
"Ginseng, second grandpa, ginsengbangzi, I found ginsengbangzi, it's such a big one."
Zhang An repeated it, and then Mr. Zhang was sure.
"Is it really a ginseng stick? You read that right, how big is it and how many leaves are it?"
Mr. Zhang asked a series of eighteen questions when he opened his mouth.
"It's really Grandpa Er. It's such a big tree with five branches and five leaves. I wanted to call you, but I was afraid that it would run away. I didn't dare to go, so I slowly dug out a tree.
It's been many hours and it still hasn't been dug out."
Mr. Zhang was also very excited at this moment, but it was too high and he couldn't climb up.
So below I will guide Zhang An on how to dig.
Originally, Zhang An was afraid of damaging the dig, so he moved the mud bit by bit.
But under the guidance of the second master, the speed was much faster, and it took more than an hour to finally dig it out.
Fortunately, the soil here is relatively soft, otherwise we would have to continue digging.
Holding it in his hand, Zhang An still felt that it had some weight, with a relatively thick waist and slender limbs.
The whole ginseng weighs about half a catty, is more than a foot long, and has a thick waist.
It looks like a tall fat man, but there are too many roots. Although I was very careful when digging, I still broke some roots.
