Chapter 21 A blessing in disguise

There was a cliff in front of him and a crazy black bear behind him. Xu Shiyan was really desperate.

When I looked up, I found a big pine tree growing beside Shilizi.

The trunk of the tree is very thick and slightly tilted towards the stone. The branches at the bottom are more than two meters high from the ground and are thicker than an adult's arm.

Xu Shiyan took a deep breath, used all his strength to jump forward, then leaped forward, grabbed the branches of the pine tree with both hands, and hung himself on the edge of the cliff.

The big black bear behind him, unaware of Xu Shiyan's intentions, was running fast to catch up.

As a result, the big black bear had no time to brake and rushed directly under the cliff.

Xu Shiyan was hanging on the tree when he heard a thud, which was the sound of a heavy object falling.

Looking down, I saw that about ten meters below the cliff, there was a protruding platform that looked to be about the size of two basketball courts.

The black bear was running very fast and with great momentum. At this moment, it fell to the edge of the platform. It was not known whether it was dead or not.

At this time, Xu Shiyan was not in the mood to care about the life and death of the black bear. He had to get down from the tree quickly.

He can't hold on for long if he hangs here. If he falls down, he won't be as thick-skinned and fleshy as the black blind man.

Xu Shiyan exchanged his hands and moved toward the root of the branch little by little. The bark of the pine tree is very rough and has very small thorns.

I couldn't care less about it at the moment. I gritted my teeth and worked hard. When I could no longer hold on anymore, I finally moved to the root of the tree.

After sliding down from the tree, Xu Shiyan sat directly on the ground and breathed heavily. Only now did he feel pain all over his body.

After sitting under the tree for a while and not hearing any movement underneath, Xu Shiyan staggered to his feet, stretched his head and looked under the lid.

The black blind man was lying on the ground, seemingly motionless. Was he dead? If he was really dead, would he still be able to earn a fortune?

Xu Shiyan thought for a moment and did not dare to act rashly. The black blind man was quite tenacious, so it was better to be cautious.

Besides, the platform is about ten meters away from the top. He has nothing now, so it's not easy to get down.

Xu Shiyan thought for a while, got up and walked back unsteadily. He had to find all the lost things.

There is a rope in the backpack, but it is definitely not long enough. I need to get some rattan or something to go along it. How can I do it without tools?

Xu Shiyan ran all the way and didn't know where he was. Fortunately, the blind man was injured and there was blood all the way.

Xu Shiyan walked back along the blood trail and found his backpack, ax and other things, so he followed the blood trail back again.

There were jujube vines, grape vines, etc. on the road, and I made a big bundle and dragged them along.

Go back to the stone lid again, braid the vines together, tie them with the rope, tie one end to the big pine tree, and the other end to the bottom of the lid.

The black blind man at the bottom still didn't move and made no movement. Xu Shiyan had an ax in his waist and a backpack on his back, and he slowly went down holding on to the tree vines.

The tree vines and the rope were still too short to reach the platform. Fortunately, there was not much distance left, so Xu Shiyan let go and jumped down.

He took out the ax from his waist and carefully approached the black bear step by step. When he got closer, he discovered that there was a large pool of blood under the black bear's body.

The black bear was already injured, and the impact of falling from above was not small. The injury worsened, and he should be dead.

Xu Shiyan was still worried, so he found another branch and poked at it. Sure enough, it didn't move. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with an axe.

A big black bear weighing about 300 kilograms was lying on the ground. It took a lot of effort for Xu Shiyan to turn it over.

The black bear turned over and found part of its internal organs flowing out from the wound. Fortunately, the bear's bile was protected by the liver and was not broken.

Xu Shiyan went into the mountains to go to the mountains. The rules left by his elders were that no hunting was allowed in the mountains. He never thought about it, so he didn't bring a cloth bag with bear bile.

After thinking about it, I simply cut off a piece of my shirt with a knife, wrapped it in the bear bile, and put it in my backpack.

Fresh bear bile cannot be dried directly. It needs to be repeatedly dipped in boiling water several times before drying. The household items that can be used to boil water are all in the ground, so it seems that we can only go back to the ground first.

Xu Shiyan glanced at Heixiazi's body. The big thing was too heavy. He had to climb up and couldn't lift so much.

Gritting his teeth, he chopped off the bear's paw, shaved some meat from the bear's body, and put these on top first.

The temperature on the riverside is even lower, so the black bear's carcass may not be damaged if left overnight. We can't go back tomorrow to find someone and come back.

After a lot of effort, he stuffed the meat and bear paws into his backpack.

Xu Shiyan picked up his bag and turned around to walk in the direction of the tree vines. As he stood up, he was attracted by the red stars not far away.

What is that? Isn't it a stick? No, it's impossible. There seem to be more than ten or twenty flowers in this area. I must have seen it wrong.

Xu Shiyan thought to himself, but couldn't help but walk over.

When he walked closer and took a closer look, Xu Shiyan almost knelt down on the spot.

Just on this platform, there are no less than twenty ginseng trees, each with bright red ginseng seeds.

Especially the one in the middle. The ginseng seeds on it are about the size of a child's fist. The red skin is shiny and each one is very plump.

Looking down from the ginseng seeds, the purple-black stems are almost as thick as chopsticks and almost two feet high.

Further down, you can see six palm-shaped compound leaves, green and fluttering in the wind, as if waving to someone.

With six leaves, such a thick stem, and such large ginseng seeds, there must be something big underneath.

Xu Shiyan jumped for joy and shouted loudly, "Fuck, sticks, a lot of sticks."

If there are many characters, the one with five leaves is called a piece, and the one with six leaves is called a heap.

There is a pile in front of you. At a glance, you can see that there are two trees with six leaves, and the others have five leaves and four leaves.

At this time, who could care about the black blind man? He threw his backpack on the ground, quickly pulled out the mallet lock from inside, and locked the largest tree directly.

After locking the ginseng, Xu Shiyan did not rush to take action. Instead, he sat down and thought about things motionlessly.

Less than two hours after he entered the forest in the morning, he met the black blind man and ran all the way. It was already noon.

There are so many large and small ginsengs on this platform that we can't dig them all out, but even if we pick the big ones, we can probably take away four or five.

A large tree will most likely have to be carried for a day or two, which means he will have to be there for several days.

Come on, don't think about it, go back to the place and move all the things here. These days, his food and accommodation will be on this platform. If you don't move, take as much as you can.

Xu Shiyan made up his mind, immediately put down his backpack, and climbed up again with only his ax.

Then he returned to Dimenzi along the original path, packed up the things inside, and took them all away.
