Qianchuan is about ten miles southwest of Dafoushuang Village. There is a brigade's ginseng field there, and Lao Li Tou went there to check the ginseng field.
Xu Shiyan, with a group of juniors, naturally did not dare to go too far for fear of encountering danger.
This group of people usually go to the mountains to work, but this time it is different from the past. They are going to dig sticks in the mountains. Everyone is very excited and chattered non-stop along the way.
Xu Shiyan didn't care about them. He didn't say anything on the way, he just kept his head occupied with his thoughts.
When he arrived near Qianchuan, Xu Shiyan observed the terrain and mountains and determined the mountain field where he would release the mountain.
The first thing you do when entering the mountain is to set up a mansion and worship the mountain god.
After paying homage to the head of the mountain god, as usual, a hillside with a leeward side and facing the sun is chosen as a place for everyone to camp.
"Okay, that's it." Xu Shiyan pointed to the location in front of a big tree.
"This is where we start, we are building bridges next to each other, but they are too far apart.
The two of us live in the same village. Gou Shengzi and Zhang Erdan, you two go to collect firewood. Deyong, you are the cook, find a place to set up a stove to cook."
The person holding the pot is the person responsible for cooking.
So many people go into the mountain with help, which is different from Xu Shiyan's single-handed work. Someone has to be responsible for cooking.
The rice, grains and vegetables that everyone brought from home were all handed over to the cook, who cooked according to the estimated number of days and number of people.
Xu Shiyan is the leader. He is only responsible for leading the team into the mountains to find the stick, and does not care about other things.
Everyone had to listen to Xu Shiyan's instructions, so they quickly got to work.
Gou Shengzi and Zhang Erdan were looking for firewood nearby. After a while, they came back with a lot of tree branches and other things, and put them on the ground with a clatter.
"No, haven't you two heard what the old man said about how to release mountains?" Xu Shiyan became anxious when he saw it.
"The firewood needs to be straightened out, carried back, and put away in an orderly manner. Only then can we put the firewood smoothly. Look at you two, what are you doing?"
Xu Shiyan rolled his eyes angrily, these people really don't understand anything, and they just think about good things and make a fortune all day long.
"Also, what kind of firewood did you two pick up? For the firewood at night, you need elm wood, green straw, Korean apricot, and for the daytime you need yellow pineapple. Go and find it again."
Elm, green straw, Korean apricot, these types of trees will not explode or crack when burned, and will not cause sparks to fly and burn those who are warming up, so it is best to use them at night.
At this time of year, the temperature in the mountains was very low, and the fire could not be stopped overnight.
Yellow pineapple trees don't like to ignite, so they can preserve fire very well.
When they go into the mountains in the morning, they can use yellow pineapple wood to light the fire, which saves them from having to re-light the fire when they return.
These are the experiences you must know when climbing mountains.
Xu Shiyan is the leader. Since the big guys are looking for him and asking him to take him into the mountain, they must listen to him.
Gou Shengzi and Zhang Erdan could only go to the woods to find firewood according to Xu Shiyan's request.
Everyone was busy for a while and built seven tents. Xu Shiyan lived alone and the other two lived in one.
After everyone had set up the moat, Chen Deyong also cooked a pot of pickle porridge. Everyone drank porridge and pancakes, and had a good meal.
In the evening, everyone gathered around the fire to warm themselves up, and Xu Shiyan told everyone the rules of releasing mountains.
"Remember everything. If anyone breaks the rules when entering the mountain tomorrow and angers the mountain god, don't say I'm rude." Xu Shiyan calmed down and warned everyone.
"Okay, if you don't have anything to do, go to bed early. After dinner tomorrow morning, we will start climbing the mountain."
I have said everything that needs to be said, but do you remember living with them? After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, he went back to the village to rest.
Others seemed to be very excited and couldn't sleep, so they gathered together to chat.
"Hey, have you seen that, by letting him be the leader, we have ruined his reputation?
Oh my God, I really didn’t realize that Xu Laosan will be able to give orders one day.”
Chen Deyong whispered while pulling the fire with a wooden stick.
"What's there to be proud of? We all respect him and let him be the leader, but he really treats himself as a piece of cake?
We are just borrowing his fortune, and when we see the big stick, we will drive him home directly. Who can use him? Then Brother Chen will have to take us."
Most of these people were in the same group as Chen Deyong, and they didn't have the right intentions. They started to come up with bad ideas before they could do anything.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, don't let those two guys hear you." Chen Deyong was so flattered by these people that his eyes almost disappeared from his smile.
"This guy is quite evil. He has had good fortune since the division. Be more energetic tomorrow and follow him carefully. You will definitely gain something."
The group of people discussed together for a while and then went back to sleep in the ditch.
The next morning, after breakfast and cleaning up, everyone stood together and shouted "Huangshan" in unison.
Then, he had to look at the mountain scenery by turning his head. Xu Shiyan looked at the surrounding mountains, and based on the mountain shape, mountain topography, and trees and grass, he judged which mountains would have ginseng and decided the direction of climbing the mountain.
When pressing the mountain, all members must "line up their sticks." The head is called the head stick, the one in the middle is called the waist stick, and the one on the outside is called the side stick.
The person releasing the mountain holds a rope stick in his hand, and arranges the sticks horizontally in the order of arranging the sticks. Generally, the distance between the two people is more than ten feet, and the rope sticks can touch each other.
Everyone walked forward side by side, not missing a brick, pulling grass and walking slowly, looking for ginseng. This is called "It would be better to leave a mountain than to leave a brick."
Xu Shiyan walked in the front, pushing aside the grass with a pickaxe and staring at the front with all his concentration.
No matter what, since you have come to the mountain, you have to be serious. This is no joke.
Xu Shiyan's face was serious and serious, but others were not necessarily so. They were just here to try their luck, so how could they have much patience? After a while, his eyes didn't know where to look.
"Hey, mushrooms." Someone suddenly said.
The forest was silent, and suddenly there was some movement, and everyone was startled.
"Who shouted just now? Didn't I say you are not allowed to talk when you enter the mountain?" Xu Shiyan became angry and turned around to question.
"I, I just saw a bunch of mushrooms and shouted." Someone on the other end replied weakly.
"Did you go into the mountains to pick mushrooms? Or did you go out into the mountains to find sticks?
Go, pick up all those mushrooms and hold them, not even a single piece is missing."
Xu Shiyan glared at Wang Daqiang who was speaking angrily, "What are these things?"
Did you not listen to what he said last night at all?
Don't talk nonsense when you are in the mountains. The terrain in the mountains and forests is complex and there are many animals. Talking and shouting will cause distraction and prevent you from seeing the ginseng.
Xu Shiyan talked about all this last night, but who knew that this was just the beginning and someone would make a mistake.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished. No matter what you shout, you must hold it, even if it is a snake.
Wang Daqiang glanced at Chen Deyong, meaning to let Chen Deyong make up his mind.
What can Chen Deyong say? "You do whatever the boss tells you to do. Who told you not to listen to what the boss says?"
They haven't found the stick yet, so they can't offend Xu Shiyan.
So, Wang Daqiang reluctantly stepped forward and picked up all the mushrooms in front of him.
As his two hands were not enough, he tied it up with his clothes and continued walking forward with the others.
After walking forward for a while, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Bang Chui."
