Lao Jiandou was surprised when he heard Ning Bin's words and immediately asked,
"You said you saw a leopard some time ago. When exactly did it happen? He has been missing for more than half a month. No matter how we called and tried various methods, we could not contact him. We thought he was captured by someone in the mountains.
...",
Lao Jiandou hesitated for a moment after saying this, not knowing whether to continue.
"I know something happened in the mountains",
Ning Bin said these words calmly, then lit a cigarette and said,
"Actually, I was the first to discover mutant humans in Changbai Mountain."
After Ning Bin finished saying this, he leaned back on his chair and told everyone about some things that happened in Changbai Mountain some time ago.
This starts with a family secret of the Tang family.
The Tang family has relied on the mountains for generations and has been running a mountain product business in this area. They often communicate with villagers in the mountains to collect mountain products and distribute breeding output, which also includes some secret transactions.
The Changbai Mountains have always been famous for their ginseng production, but the quality of ginseng is different, and the prices of ginseng of different ages vary greatly. In particular, ginseng that is more than a thousand years old is hard to find and is very difficult to obtain. Some people even say that ginseng that is older has already
It became a spirit and lived in the deepest part of the mountain, out of reach of mortals.
But in the deepest part of Changbai Mountain, there is an extremely mysterious small village, which has always maintained secret transactions with the Tang family.
This is a small mysterious village. Ning Bin has never seen what the village looks like. He only knows that the men, women, and children in this village are all ginseng pickers. They live in the deepest part of Changbai Mountain. No one can know
Find them. It is said that they can climb mountains and ridges, brave the wind and snow, and cross the cold and desperate conditions as if they were nothing. They are specifically looking for those old mountain ginsengs that have become popular over the years, and these ginsengs are all valuable and are famous among ginseng.
However, the villagers in this village never communicate with the outside world. Their relationship with the Tang family is very ancient, which comes from a legend told by the ancestors of the Tang family.
This legend has been passed down from generation to generation by the Tang family. It is said that an ancestor of the Tang family once worked as a barefoot doctor at the foot of Changbai Mountain. His name has long been lost. Descendants of the Tang family only call him Tang Laozu.
.
It was a time of war in the Central Plains, and famines were widespread among the people. Changbai Mountain was rich in wild animals, so the mountain people were relatively wealthy.
At that time, the young ancestor of Tang Dynasty worked as a traveling doctor in this mountain, treating the villagers' diseases and getting some daily food.
On a windy and snowy night, suddenly a woman wearing colorful silk silk came to Tang Patriarch's door and locked the door with a baby in her arms.
After the woman entered the door, she immediately showed the sick baby in her arms to Patriarch Tang and asked Patriarch Tang to save her child.
When Patriarch Tang saw the child at that time, he saw that the child's complexion was deathly blue, his lips were white, and his forehead was cold. He was obviously suffering from typhoid fever. Typhoid fever was a terminal disease in ancient times. Patriarch Tang frankly told the woman that this child
The child is incurable.
But when the woman learned about this, she immediately covered her face and cried. She told Tang Laozu that the child was actually her illegitimate child and was not tolerated by her family. If the child was short-lived and could not be cured, she would
She couldn't take the child home to bury her, so she asked Patriarch Tang to bury the child on her behalf.
After the woman finished speaking, she left a gold bracelet as payment for the burial, then turned and left. At that time, Tang Laozu panicked and chased the woman outside the gate, only to find that the woman had disappeared.
When Tang Patriarch looked back at the child, he saw that the child was less than a month old and his face was twitching. He was very pitiful, so he felt pity and thought that he would raise the child for the time being.
So from then on, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty took this child around to practice medicine. The villagers in the mountains were relatively kind-hearted. Seeing that the child was pitiful, women often gave the child some milk soup. The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty also slowly searched for ancient prescriptions in medical books and found them in the mountains.
Searching for herbs, I prepared a little bit of medicine for this child.
Unexpectedly, under the careful care of Patriarch Tang, the child improved little by little and finally recovered.
The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty was very happy. He had been poor all his life and had no wife and no children, so he named the child Genwa and regarded it as his own. He wanted to live the rest of his life with this child in peace.
But he soon discovered that there was something wrong with this child. When Genwa was three or four years old, he would always go to the mountains to play by himself. Even if Tang Laozu beat him and scolded him, it would not work, as if there was something in the mountains.
It's like hooking him.
Finally one day, Genwa actually brought back a big stick (ginseng) from the mountains. The stick had a lifespan of at least 500 years and was very valuable. Even experienced ginseng pickers in the mountains would find it difficult to find it.
Only then did Tang Laozu realize that he was afraid. He asked people who could see magic to find out what was wrong with the child and why he kept running into the mountains.
A goddess told the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty that the origins of Changbai Mountain are very deep. It has been here since the creation of the sky in ancient times. There are many gods living in this mountain. They have been hooking Genwa into the mountain. If left alone, Genwa will die.
Sooner or later, he will be pulled into the mountains and never come back.
If he wanted this kind of thing to never happen again, Tang Laozu had to twist a red rope and keep it in his arms for 49 days. Then he dyed the rope red with his own blood and tied it on Genwa's head.
The baby no longer wants to go into the mountains.
As expected, Patriarch Tang followed his plan, twisted a three-foot-long rope, dyed it red with blood, and tied it to the baby's braid.
Genwa cried loudly and struggled desperately after the red rope was tied on his head. However, after struggling, he slowly gave up the idea of going into the mountain.
The matter passed like this, and Genwa finally grew up to 15 years old safely. In this year, Tang Laozu arranged a marriage for Genwa in the next village, so that his daughter-in-law could marry him in spring.
Before the wedding, Patriarch Tang called Genwa in front of him, showed him the gold bracelet that his biological mother had left for him, and told him Genwa's life experience.
Unexpectedly, Genwa became very excited when he saw this gold bracelet. He burst into tears and ran towards the mountain like crazy. Patriarch Tang couldn't hold it back no matter how hard he tried, so Genwa just ran in.
The mountain disappeared.
The ancestor of the Tang Dynasty searched for Genwa in the mountains for a long time, but could not find it. He was heartbroken from then on, thinking that the son he had raised for more than ten years was lost.
After half a year of grief, one night Mr. Tang was suddenly shaken awake from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Genwa standing in front of him.
