"Thousands of years old ginseng? Did I hear that right?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Karachev's hand that was about to open the third box stopped. He looked at Qin Feng in disbelief and said, "Young man, tell me again, how many years of ginseng do you need?"
"It must be at least a thousand years old, and it must be fresh ginseng that has been harvested for less than a year, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve the medicinal effect I need..." Qin Feng sighed and saw Karachev's sudden change of expression.
After his appearance, Qin Feng knew that it was probably impossible to get what he needed from him.
"Thousand-year-old ginseng? Or fresh ginseng?"
Kalachev repeated Qin Feng's words, shook his head repeatedly and said: "Qin, this... this is simply impossible. I have been picking ginseng in the mountains all my life, and the oldest one I found is this six hundred-year-old one.
, I have never even seen anyone older than that..."
The growth and survival environment of ginseng is actually very harsh. Although its rhizomes grow underground, its leaves are on the ground. As a result, some herbivorous animals will eat them along the branches and leaves. In the wild
Most of the ginseng is damaged due to this.
Coupled with the cold winter, some ginseng with shallow rhizomes will die and wither due to extreme cold. Therefore, it is very rare for wild ginseng to grow for more than a hundred years. A thousand-year-old ginseng, even in the Anochink area, is
The stuff of legend.
"Six hundred year old ginseng?"
Qin Feng opened the last wooden box. The ginseng roots inside were intertwined like a small man. Even though he was nearly half a meter away, Qin Feng could still smell the unique medicinal smell of ginseng.
“Old ginseng from this vintage is basically invisible now.”
Karachev looked at the ginseng with some emotion and said: "I picked this from the mountains of Anochink thirty years ago. I almost lost my life in that place to pick this thing?"
"Oh? Uncle Karachev, tell me what happened at that time? Where was this ginseng collected?"
Hearing Kalachev's words, Qin Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up. He once heard Master Zaishi say that ginseng usually blooms in three to six years, and then gradually forms rhizomes. The flowering period is five to six months.
It also produces fruits, which are the seeds of ginseng.
After the fruit matures, it often falls not very far away, so generally speaking, the older the old ginseng is, the greater the possibility of nested ginseng appearing in the surrounding area. However, this does not apply in China, because that group of
Regardless of the year, ginseng pickers will always wipe out all the ginseng they encounter.
But Anoqinke is different. It is an inaccessible place. Coupled with the government's protection, Qin Feng believes that the possibility of ginseng appearing there is very high. Maybe this 600-year-old ginseng will be found in that place.
There is an ancestor-level old ginseng hidden away.
"Qin, you know quite a lot about ginseng."
Kalachev looked at Qin Feng with a half-smile and said: "Beside this ginseng, there is a big python hidden. I didn't pay attention at first, and it strangled my body, even with the big python.
The python fell off the cliff, but I had better luck. Because the python was wrapped around me, nothing happened to me after the fall, but it was killed by the fall..."
When talking about that incident decades ago, Karachev still has lingering fears.
In the Anochink Mountains, the most terrifying creature is not the Siberian tiger. It is a not-so-famous python. This kind of python is very rare, but it is at the top of the food chain in the Anochink Mountains.
Even the huge Siberian tiger will run away after seeing it, not daring to tangle with it at all.
It was a coincidence for Karachev that time. The big python originally had a cave on the cliff, but due to the slippery snow, the entire body of the python slipped out, and its head happened to fall on a sharp rock.
The body that was holding Kalachev was immediately released, allowing him to escape.
After escaping from death, Kalachev rested under the cliff for a whole day before he plucked up the courage to climb up again. However, his hands were shaking at the time, causing the roots of the ginseng plant to appear damaged and slightly damaged.
"Escape from the snake's mouth, Uncle Karachev is really lucky." Qin Feng said seemingly casually: "Uncle Karachev, where did you meet that python?"
"Qin, being careful with your friends is not a good quality."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Kalachev smiled slyly and said: "There must be ginseng around that cliff, but I no longer have the courage to go there. Young man, you want to know where that is?"
Where?"
Kalachev lived for more than seventy years. He had served as a soldier and fought in the war when he was young. He was considered a knowledgeable person. From the first time he said that he wanted to exchange ginseng for food and saw Peng Honglue hesitate, Kalachev saw that
After leaving Qin Feng, he probably came to buy or look for ginseng.
"Uncle Karachev, yes, I really want to know where that is."
Facing this old guy who became a spirit, Qin Feng said straight to the point: "I'll reiterate, if Uncle Karachev can help me find the thousand-year-old ginseng, I can help all the people in your town leave, and
I will bear all your living expenses after you leave..."
Compared with Meng Yao's life, money is worse than waste paper to Qin Feng, let alone helping these children. If Karachev can come up with old ginseng of enough years now, let him help Chechnya fight the war. Qin Feng
They all agreed without hesitation.
"Young man, I want to help you, and I also want everyone in this town to leave..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Kalachev smiled bitterly, and then said: "But I can't lie to you, because I really don't know if there are thousands of years of old ginseng there. You know, this kind of thing, everyone says
unclear……"
"Let's do this, Uncle Karachev, tell me that place, and I'll have people take these children out of Chechnya!" Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "I want the detailed address. If I can have a guide
That’s the best.”
Qin Feng knows that it is easy to get lost in the old forest, and the old forest in the mountains is more like a big maze. Even if Qin Feng has extraordinary identification ability, the possibility of getting lost in the mountains is very high.
"Guide?"
Karachev did not expect Qin Feng to make such a request. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, there were a few strong young men in the town, but they all died in the war.
, I cannot meet your request.
But I can give you a very detailed map. You have to know that I have done surveying and mapping in the army before, and the military maps I drew are very, very accurate. Young man, this is all I can do.
…”
Although there are still a few old guys in the town, they are not ginseng pickers. Kalachev's son and the people he used to bring into the mountains are all young people, but none of these young people are alive in the world anymore.
"Okay, Uncle Karachev, help me draw a map, and I will send these children out..."
Qin Feng is like a drowning man now. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to pay all the price to fight for it. What's more, now he just needs to pay some money, Qin Feng made the choice without thinking at all.
"Grandpa Karachev, where are you sending us?"
Elena, who had just eaten and was curled up on the sofa, suddenly said: "Grandpa Karachev, we don't want to leave you and Grandma Katyusha, we want to be with you forever..."
"Grandpa will send you to a place where there is no war."
Kalachev rolled the wheelchair to Irina's side, touched her little head, and said: "There is no war there, there are beautiful clothes to wear, and delicious food to eat. I think you will all like it there...
…”
“Great food and nice clothes?”
Elena lowered her head and looked at her dirty skirt. After a while, she shook her head and said, "Elena is not going anywhere. Elena wants to be with Grandpa Karachev and Katyusha."
Grandma is together..."
Elena is eleven years old this year. Six years ago, when she was five years old, her parents and relatives died in the war. She has always been with people like Katyusha and Karachev, so in her heart, Katyusha
Sha and others are the people closest to her, and Elena is unwilling to leave them no matter what.
"Okay, Elena, Grandma Katyusha and Grandpa Karachev will leave with you!"
What Qin Feng hated the most was the little girl being wronged. Seeing Elena's uncomfortable look, Qin Feng said: "Uncle Karachev, how many people are left in your town? Are they all willing to leave?"
For Qin Feng, taking away a few children or taking away dozens of people was nothing more than spending money. Since he had decided to help these people, Qin Feng might as well go to the end and send Buddha to the west.
"There are not many people left, only about ten**."
Karachev smiled bitterly and shook his head. After fighting for so many years, people with connections have long since left. The purge some time ago caused everyone in Baku Town to die. The people who are still left are not like Yi
A child like Lena is like an old man like Karachev who cannot leave.
"Okay, let them prepare their documents, and I will have someone come to handle it as soon as possible." Qin Feng nodded, took out his satellite phone, and said, "I'll go out and make a call. If everything goes well, the three
Someone should be here to pick you up within the next few days..."
Qin Feng himself really didn't have time to deal with these problems, but he didn't have time, but Hongmen had a lot of manpower, and Qin Feng's call was exactly to Bai Zhentian.
