Chapter 1220: There is purple energy on the top and ginseng on the bottom
After the old man confirmed the identities of Qin Yu and Liu Buyuan, he lowered his guard. What the old man was thinking was similar to that of the pot-bellied man. There were seven of them, and they were also armed. The young man and a child in front of him,
It doesn't pose much of a threat to them.
"Why did you appear deep in this mountain?" The middle-aged man with a big belly asked Qin Yu.
And his problem is also of concern to others. After all, this is deep in the Changbai Mountains. Even if a group of them came here, even Mr. Pu, who has been dealing with the Changbai Mountains all his life, encountered many things along the way.
There were a lot of dangers, and I had to fight with wild animals several times.
As for the young man in front of him, he looks very thin and frail, plus a child whose fighting ability is almost negligible. How could such a combination appear deep in the Changbai Mountains without suffering any accidents?
"I said I got lost, do you believe it or not?" Qin Yu looked at these people seriously. However, these seven people shook their heads in unison, obviously not believing what Qin Yu said.
Are you kidding me about getting lost? This is deep in the Changbai Mountains. For ordinary people, it's a dead end. Moreover, this place is far away from the edge of the mountains, and it's not possible to get lost here.
"But we are just lost." Qin Yu spread his hands and said helplessly.
The seven people looked at Qin Yu's expression, and the expressions on their faces became a little strange. They didn't believe Qin Yu's words and sneered at him. However, they couldn't figure out the reason why Qin Yu was here?
Are you going to Changbai Mountain to pick ginseng like them? You shouldn't bring a child with you to pick ginseng. Moreover, if you go to Changbai Mountain alone to pick ginseng, this kind of "breaking into a single gang" behavior is just like picking ginseng in the past.
In the age when people were at their most powerful, there were few such fierce people.
Going to Dangan means going into the mountains alone to pick ginseng, but there are dangers in the depths of the mountains. In addition to facing poisonous insects and beasts, there are also some unknown terrors. The most important thing is that going into the mountains alone means having to eat and sleep.
Solve it yourself. In the mountains, eating and sleeping are very important.
Once the problem of eating is solved, you can have more time to look for ginseng. Especially in Changbai Mountain, a cold mountain range, eating must not be careless, otherwise it will easily lead to a decline in physical fitness.
As for sleeping, in the mountains, wild beasts are rampant. If you are alone, you don't dare to sleep too much. And if you don't get enough sleep, how can you have the energy to look for ginseng?
Therefore, generally those who pick ginseng go into the mountains as a group, each with their own duties, and then after digging the ginseng, they all share it together. Everyone gets the same money, regardless of the amount of work done.
"What do you two want now?" Mr. Pu looked at Qin Yu and asked.
"Leave the mountains."
"From here to leaving the mountains, we have to climb several mountains. It will take at least two days and one night, and there will be many dangers. If you are willing, you can come with us, and we will go back together then.
Even if there are many people, there will be someone to take care of you." Mr. Pu said.
Hearing what Mr. Pu said, Qin Yu was about to reply, but the pot-bellied middle-aged man objected first, "No, we are looking for ginseng. What's going on with these two people of unknown origin?"
"Boss Wang, we ginseng pickers have the same rules as ginseng pickers. If you encounter strangers when you go up the mountain, help them if you can. This is the ancestral motto." Mr. Pu also said firmly.
"What's wrong with breaking the rules? You have to help strangers when you meet them. What if you meet someone with evil intentions? Don't forget, we are here to find the century-old ginseng plant this time. If we don't find the ginseng plant, I won't go out.
I’ll give you a penny.” The middle-aged man with a big belly started to threaten.
Qin Yu listened to the words of the middle-aged man with a big belly, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and asked Mr. Pu: "Old sir, are you here to find old ginseng?"
"Well, my grandfather found a ginseng that was several decades old near here. However, he did not pick it at that time. Instead, he tied a red string to the ginseng. Although my grandfather has left now, the ginseng is probably
But they told us the range." The young man behind Mr. Pu answered first.
"Is there anything special about this red rope?" Qin Yu continued to ask.
"Of course there is. My grandpa's red string is tied with a copper coin from the Kaiyuan period. This kind of copper coin is very rare. Except for my grandpa, almost no one has used it."
After listening to the man's words, Qin Yu recalled the old ginseng he saw earlier. The red string on it was indeed tied with a copper coin. However, the copper coin was from the Qianlong period, not the Kaiyuan copper coin.
"Have you seen that ginseng plant?" The young woman suddenly thought of something, and her face showed joy. "Have you seen the ginseng plant that my grandfather found?"
"No." Qin Yu shook his head simply. It was obvious that the ginseng these people were looking for was not the same one he saw. Qin Yu would not tell these people the location of the ginseng. After all, according to the
As a rule, that ginseng already belongs to its owner.
If it were the old man and the young man and woman dressed in obvious Korean style, Qin Yu would not hide it, because at first glance, these three were authentic ginseng pickers. They knew some rules and would not pick ginseng that belonged to the owner.
.
But the middle-aged man with a big belly is different. If such a person finds that century-old ginseng plant, he will not care whether the ginseng belongs to the owner and will definitely dig it up directly.
"Since it's inconvenient for you, let's leave first." Qin Yu finally decided to take Liu Buyuan and leave first.
"Wait." The middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly called Qin Yu, looked at Qin Yu for a long time, and said after a while: "I decided that you can stay with us."
"I'm sorry, we just want to go down the mountain as soon as possible." Qin Yu shook his head, took Liu Buyuan's little hand and continued to walk forward. However, the middle-aged man with a big belly moved toward the three strong men behind him.
The man winked, and the three strong men blocked the way of Qin Yu and Liu Buyuan.
"What does this mean?" Qin Yu squinted at the three strong men in front of him.
"Hmph, I now suspect that you have dug up that ginseng plant. Otherwise, why are you so eager to leave after asking about the copper coins on the ginseng? If you want to leave, you can just let me search you first."
The middle-aged man said with a sneer.
The words of the middle-aged man with a big belly made Mr. Pu and the two young men and women stunned for a moment. Obviously, the three of them had not thought of this aspect, and for a while they began to cast doubtful eyes on Qin Yu.
.
"I'm sorry, I hate being searched the most." Qin Yu replied calmly without changing his expression.
"That's not up to you." The middle-aged man with a big belly waved his hand, and the three naked men surrounded Qin Yu and Liu Buyuan, and approached Qin Yu menacingly.
"Why bother? I'm really not interested in your ginseng." Qin Yu shook his head. Facing the approach of the three well-dressed men, there was no trace of nervousness. Even Liu Buyuan, the little guy, looked nervous.
Very peaceful.
Mr. Pu, who had been staring at Qin Yu's facial expression, suddenly felt a knot in his heart at this moment. As a ginseng picker, he had experienced a lot of storms in his life, but Qin Yu's calm expression before gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
Good hunch.
"etc."
Finally, when the three strong men were about to attack Qin Yu, Mr. Pu shouted to stop him, then looked at Qin Yu and said: "Sir, I believe you don't have ginseng on you, but in this barren mountain
The mountain roads in the wild mountains are indeed difficult to walk, so why don't you come with us, we will go back today regardless of whether we find ginseng or not."
After listening to Mr. Pu's words, Qin Yu pondered for a while, and finally spread his hands in disbelief, indicating that he agreed.
So, the group set out again. Along the way, Qin Yu finally learned the origins of these people.
It turns out that the young man and woman are brother and sister, and Mr. Pu is a leader. This is a special title for ginseng pickers. In fact, he is the leader. In the past, when ginseng pickers went into the mountains, they would elect a leader.
The team must obey the instructions of the leader, and those who can serve as leaders are experienced ginseng pickers.
However, Mr. Park had already retired ten years ago and stopped collecting ginseng. The reason why he came out again this time was because of the two brothers and sisters Park Hye-hyun and Park Hye-soo.
Mr. Pu and the grandfather of the two siblings were ginseng pickers of the same era. When he went into the mountains again, Mr. Pu encountered danger. It was the grandfather of the two siblings who saved Mr. Pu. Therefore, his benefactor came to visit him.
The old man had to go out again.
Their purpose this time was to find the ginseng plant that the grandfather of the two brothers and sisters had found, and then sell it to the middle-aged man with a big belly. This man was a rich man who was willing to spend a lot of money to buy ginseng that was more than a century old.
The two Park Hye-hyun brothers also happened to be short of money, so the two parties reached an agreement.
After finding the century-old ginseng plant, the middle-aged man with a big belly would give one million to the two brothers and sisters. As for Mr. Pu, the two brothers originally planned to share Mr. Pu's 300,000 yuan, but Mr. Pu refused.
Mr. Park is willing to help, not because of money. A ginseng picker like him is no longer short of money. This time, it is entirely to repay the favor.
Of course, Qin Yu got all this information out of Park Hye-hyun's mouth. When looking at the direction the team was going, Qin Yu's eyes twitched a few times. He didn't expect that they would find it in the end.
"Everyone, don't move yet."
Mr. Pu looked in one direction, his face suddenly showed joy, and then he motioned for everyone to stop, while he himself kept staring at a patch of grass not far away.
"Grandpa Park, what are you looking at?" After a while, Park Hye-hyun asked with some confusion.
"Look at ginseng."
"Where is the ginseng? Why didn't I see it?"
"You have only picked ginseng a few times. Didn't your grandpa tell you that there is purple energy on the top and ginseng on the bottom? Look at the grass, does it have a faint purple light?"
After hearing what Mr. Pu said, everyone looked towards the patch of grass. After a long time, everyone's faces showed joy, because they also saw the purple light. However, if Mr. Pu hadn't reminded him, I'm afraid it would have been
