Xu Shiyan stayed on the platform under the Lizi for eight days.
When he left home, he only brought seven days' rations with him. If it hadn't been for the black bear, Xu Shiyan would have been hungry carrying the ginseng.
The black bear weighing more than 300 kilograms had its skin and internal organs removed, but there was still a lot of meat left.
Part of it was salted by Xu Shiyan, dried and preserved, and the other part was either boiled into soup or grilled and eaten with pancakes to cope with the past few days.
Fortunately, it is under the stone, so even if the beast smells the smell of blood, it will not be able to get down.
Two nights ago, Xu Shiyan heard the howling of a wolf above Lizi. He probably wandered around for a long time with no place to get down, and finally left.
In this way, after eight days, four ginseng trees were finally carried out.
At first he thought the six-leaf tree was the biggest, but when he took it out, he discovered that there was a five-leaf tree that was even bigger.
There is a child with thick arms, a long body, and a beautiful figure. The only shortcoming is that there is a problem with the reed head.
Seeing the reed head, Xu Shiyan probably understood what was going on. It was a reincarnated ginseng.
The growth of wild ginseng depends on the regeneration of buds. Once the buds are damaged and damaged, they will no longer be unearthed the following year.
Wild ginseng has the ability to lie dormant. Although it will no longer be unearthed the following year, its roots will not rot.
After more than ten years or decades, new buds will grow and be unearthed again, which is commonly known as reincarnation ginseng.
The reincarnated wild ginseng may produce five leaves or two leaves.
The tree Xu Shiyan dug up only had five leaves, which seemed small, but in fact the root stem underneath was at least five or six taels.
Therefore, this reincarnated ginseng is most likely the ancestor of the ginseng on the platform.
If it hadn't been dormant underground for decades, it would probably have grown even bigger.
There is an old saying that goes, "Seven taels are a gin and eight taels are a treasure." The eight taels refers to the eight taels in the previous hexadecimal system, which is half a catty when converted to today's scales.
Xu Shiyan remembered that in his previous life, it seemed that in 1981, a seedling of wild ginseng was unearthed in Beigang Commune, weighing five taels and seven cents, and was about 150 years old.
That ginseng tree was finally treasured in the Great Hall and can be called a national treasure.
The weight of the tree in Xu Shiyan's hand should not be bad, which means that it is definitely a rare treasure.
Just this one tree, forty years from now, I’m afraid tens of millions won’t be able to buy it.
As for the other two six-leaf trees, they are not light in weight either. They cost upwards of four taels. Even if they were sold now, the minimum price would be two thousand yuan.
The smallest one costs three taels per pound, and according to the current purchase price, it can probably be sold for more than a thousand.
Xu Shiyan is not greedy. Although there are still a lot of ginseng on the platform, he can't take any more.
Keep it, maybe he can come again if there is a chance in the future. If there is no such chance, it doesn't matter, he has already received great benefits, and he must be content as a human being.
So, I packed several ginseng bags and put the three big ones at the bottom of my backpack.
Then I put the dried bear meat and the boiled bear oil into it, and finally put two small ginseng buns on top.
The dried bear paws were prepared, wrapped in bear skin, and tied with tree bark. The bear bile was still carried in the arms.
All kinds of things were transferred to the top three times, and then Xu Shiyan walked back packed in large and small packages.
Just halfway through the journey, I heard someone shouting in the distance. I looked carefully and found that it was Xu Shiyan's name.
What's going on? Who came to the mountains to find him?
Xu Shiyan hurriedly responded here, and then walked quickly towards the place where the sound came from, shouting as he walked.
He probably heard the noise over there and walked this way.
After walking forward for more than a mile, Xu Shixian, Xu Shian and others came towards us.
"Lao San, you are too courageous, aren't you? Going into the mountains alone, are you willing to die?"
When Xu Shi saw his younger brother first, he was relieved at first, and then he felt angry and raised his foot to kick him.
Xu Shiyan ducked out of the way, "What are you doing? I'm just here, not out to drink and make money."
"How dare you say that? Do you know that our parents are almost dying of anxiety at home?
This is a family separation. If you don't accept the control of the heaven, you dare to run into the forest alone." Xu Shi'an also became anxious and yelled at his younger brother.
"Third brother, you are so capable. You said that if something happens to you, what do you want our parents to do? What do you want third sister-in-law to do?
Third sister-in-law is pregnant with a child. Do you want the child to be born without a father?" Xu Shixiang, the fifth child, also spoke.
Xu Shiyan didn't take what others said to heart, but Lao Wu's words shocked him.
"What? Your third sister-in-law is pregnant?" Xu Shiyan exclaimed, then slapped his forehead.
God, he actually forgot about this important matter.
In his previous life, Xu Shiyan went to Da'an Coal Mine after marrying Su Anying. After a while, the good news came that Su Anying was pregnant.
In April 1978, Su Anying gave birth to a boy.
I don’t know if it’s because of a poor life, lack of nutrition, or some other reason, but the child will be born with deficiencies.
The skin is so thin that you can directly see the internal organs and skull, and you really don’t even dare to touch it.
Many children are born without opening their eyes. That child is born with wide eyes and looks around, wishing to see every corner of the room.
The child neither cried nor fussed nor nursed, and lived only seven days. People who knew it said that the child should not have been born in the Xu family, so he came to see if it was okay and then left.
Xu Shiyan was always at the Da'an Coal Mine and went home rarely. Besides, he was still young at the time and didn't have much interest in getting close to his children.
The child was gone, and Xu Shiyan was sad for a while and then it passed, and he never thought about it again.
Later, Su Anying gave birth to two more daughters and a son. With three children around, she would not think of the child who died young.
After his rebirth, Xu Shiyan only thought about his two daughters in his previous life and completely forgot about this child.
Now that he learned that Su Anying was pregnant, Xu Shiyan remembered this.
"Hurry, go home quickly." He had to go back quickly and take his wife to the hospital to see if he could save the baby.
Xu Shiyan raised his legs and ran back. When the three brothers saw that he was carrying a whole pile of things with his straps, they were reluctant to help.
"What's all this? Look at you, you're wrapped up in a big bag? Is this a black blind man's skin? Did you meet a black blind man when you went into the mountain?"
Xu Shi'an reached out to take the thing in his brother's hand. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was Heixiazi's fur. He immediately shivered and asked hurriedly.
"Well, a black man broke into my shack and drank the wine I brought up the mountain. He was very drunk. When I went back to see him, I killed him immediately."
Xu Shiyan dare not say that he was almost killed by the black blind man. If he said that, the eldest and second brothers would probably have to kick him.
So Xu Shiyan made up a few lies to fool his family so that his family would not make a fuss.
When the three brothers of the Xu family heard this, they were speechless. Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Isn't the third brother in their family very lucky? Can he kill a black blind man like this?
"Have you met Bang Chui these days when you have been in the mountains?" Xu Shixian couldn't help but ask.
