Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

The couple went out for several days. Fortunately, Mrs. Li burned the kang every day, so they didn't sleep on the cold kang.

Xu Shiyan sent the things for Mrs. Li to the east room again, chatted with the old lady for a while, and then went back to the room.

The couple packed all the things they brought back and locked them in the cabinet, and finally went to the kang to rest.

September [-]nd, the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month.

Early in the morning, some young people in the village began to get busy with preparations. These people had little experience, so they procrastinated until ten o'clock, and finally got together.

After counting the number of people, including Xu Shiyan, there are exactly thirteen.

Seeing this number, Xu Shiyan was somewhat relieved. He was really afraid that if all the 80 or so families in the village had sent people over, there would really be no one in the team to work.

And there are rules in Fangshan, if you go one-way and return to two, the number of people must be one when you go, and count ginseng when you come back, it is an even number.

Taking a closer look at the people who came here, most of them don't work hard all day long, and they always want to hide and play tricks.

As for Yang Chunming and others, they never came.

Yes, people are passing by, who is tossing about this?

Right now is not the time at all, delaying farm work to release mountains, ordinary people can't do it.

These people, headed by Chen Deyong, are all close to the Chen family on weekdays.

So, if the Chen family didn't stir things up, Xu Shiyan wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

"I made it clear in advance that you have to listen to me when you enter the mountain. If you don't listen to me, don't blame me if something happens."

It's still the same sentence, villain first, gentleman second, ugly words first, so as not to cause trouble.

"Brother Xu San, don't worry, we will definitely listen to you." Chen Deyong and several boys shouted loudly.

"Okay, then stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Xu Shiyan didn't say anything else at all, carrying a backpack and leading the people, he just left the village and headed south all the way to the direction of Qianchuan.

Chapter 37 Mistakes After Mistakes

Qianchuan is about ten miles to the southwest of Dafang Village, there is a brigade of ginseng over there, and Lao Litou is there to see ginseng.

Xu Shiyan led a group of first-timers, so naturally he didn't dare to go too far for fear of encountering danger.

This group of people also went to work in the mountains on weekdays, but this time it was different from the past. This was to go to the mountains to dig sticks. Everyone was very excited and chatted non-stop along the way.

Xu Shiyan didn't care about them, he didn't say much on the way, just thinking about his own thoughts.

When he arrived near Qianchuan, Xu Shiyan observed the terrain and mountains, and determined the mountain field where the mountains should be released.

The first thing to do when entering the mountain is still to set up the Lord's Mansion and worship the mountain god.

After worshiping the old mountain god, as usual, choose a hillside facing the wind and facing the sun as a place for everyone to camp.

"Okay, this is it." Xu Shiyan pointed to the position in front of a big tree.

"Start here, next to each other, don't be too far away.

The two live in the same building, Goushengzi and Zhang Erdan, you two go to collect firewood.De Yong, you are the cooker, find a place to set up a stove to cook. "

The person who carries the pot is the person in charge of cooking.

With so many people joining gangs to enter the mountain, it is not the same as Xu Shiyan's single-stick group. Someone must be responsible for cooking.

The rice, grain, and vegetables that everyone brought from home were all handed over to the pot-handler, who cooked according to the expected number of days and the number of people.

Xu Shiyan is the leader, he is only responsible for leading the team into the mountains to find the club, and he doesn't care about other things.

Everyone had to obey Xu Shiyan's orders, so they hurried to work.

Gou Shengzi and Zhang Erdan were looking for firewood nearby, and after a while they came back with a lot of tree heads and branches, and put them on the ground with a thud.

"No, haven't you two heard the old man talk about how to release mountains?" Xu Shiyan became anxious when he saw it.

"The firewood has to be straightened out and carried back. Put it in order, so that we can release the mountain smoothly. Look at you two, what are you doing?"

Xu Shiyan rolled his eyes angrily, these people really don't understand anything, and they only think about beautiful things to make a fortune all day long.

"Also, what kind of firewood are you two picking up? For the night, you need elm, green straw, and Korean bright seeds, and for the day, you need yellow pineapple. Go and find it again."

Elm wood, green straw, and Korean bright seeds, these kinds of trees will not burst, crack, or cause sparks to burn people who are warming the fire after being burned, so it is best to use them at night.

At this time, the temperature in the mountains was very low, and the fire could not be ceased overnight.

The yellow pineapple tree doesn't like to start a fire, so it can preserve the fire very well.

When they go into the mountains in the morning, they can use yellow pineapple wood to press down the fire, so as to avoid having to rebuild the fire when they come back.

These are the experiences that Fangshan must know.

Xu Shiyan is the leader. Since the big guy has found him and asked him to take him into the mountain, he must listen to him.

Gou Shengzi and Zhang Erdan had no choice but to go to the woods to find firewood according to Xu Shiyan's request.

Everyone was busy for a while, and built seven dormitories. Xu Shiyan lived alone, and the other two lived in one.

After everyone set up the ground, Chen Deyong also cooked a pot of pickled vegetable porridge, and everyone had a meal with pancakes.

In the evening, everyone sat around the fire, and Xu Shiyan told everyone the rules of releasing the mountain.

"Remember it for me. If someone breaks the rules and angers the mountain god when you enter the mountain tomorrow, don't say I'm rude." Xu Shiyan sank down and warned everyone.

"Okay, go to bed early if you have nothing to do, and we will start pressing the mountain after dinner tomorrow morning."

I have said everything that should be said, do you remember living with them?After Xu Shiyan finished speaking, he went back to the cellar to rest.

The others seemed to be very excited and couldn't sleep, so they got together to chat.

"Hey, did you see that we let him be the leader, but he was ruined.

Oh my god, I really didn't see it, Xu Laosan also has a day when he can give orders. "

Chen Deyong said in a low voice while poking the fire with a wooden stick.

"What's there to be proud of? We big guys respect him and let him be the leader, but he really treats himself like a dish?

We're just borrowing his fortune, waiting for us to see the big stick, and driving him home, who would use him?At that time, Brother Chen will have to take us with us. "

Most of these people were with Chen Deyong, their minds were not right, and before they could do anything, they started to come up with bad ideas.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let those two poles hear you." Chen Deyong was very comfortable being praised by these people, and his smiling eyes almost disappeared.

"This kid is quite evil. Since the division of the family, his fortune has been good. Tomorrow, be more energetic. Follow him well, and you will definitely gain something."

The group discussed together for a while, and then went back to sleep in the cellar.

The next morning, after breakfast was cleaned up, everyone stood together and shouted Huangshan in unison.

Then, you have to look at the mountain scenery from your head.Xu Shiyan looked at the surrounding mountains, and based on the shape of the mountains, the shape of the mountains, and the tops of trees and grass, he judged which part of the mountain would have ginseng, and decided the direction of pressing the mountain.

When pressing the mountain, all members have to "arrange sticks".The head is the head stick, the middle one is the waist stick, and the outermost one is called the side stick.

The mountain releasers hold the rope sticks in their hands and arrange them horizontally according to the order of the sticks. Generally, the distance between two people is more than Zhang, so that the rope sticks can touch each other.

Everyone walked forward horizontally, not letting go of the distance of a brick, pulling the grass and walking slowly, looking for ginseng.This is called "rather fall a mountain than a brick."

Xu Shiyan walked in the front, pushed the grass away with a rope stick, and stared at the front with all his attention.

No matter what, since you are on the mountain, you have to be serious, this is no joke.

Xu Shiyan has a serious face, very serious, but others may not be sure, they are just here to rub their luck, how can they have much patience?After a while, he didn't know where to look.

"Hey, mushroom." Someone suddenly said.

The forest was silent, and suddenly there was some movement, which shocked everyone.

"Who called it just now? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to speak when you enter the mountain." Xu Shiyan became angry and turned his head to question.

"I, I saw a bunch of mushrooms just now, so I yelled." Someone at the other end replied weakly.

"Did you go into the mountains to pick up mushrooms? Or did you go to the mountains to find sticks?

Go, pick up all those mushrooms, nothing less. "

Xu Shiyan glared at Wang Daqiang who was speaking angrily, what are these things?

Didn't you listen to what he said last night?

You can't talk indiscriminately in the mountains. The terrain in the mountains is complex and there are many animals. Talking and shouting will cause distraction and you will not be able to see ginseng.

Xu Shiyan said all these things last night. Who knew that this was just the beginning, and some people made mistakes.

If you make a mistake, you have to be punished. No matter what you shout, you have to 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 can do whatever you want with your head. Who told you not to listen to what your head has to say?"

They haven't found the club yet, so they can't offend Xu Shiyan.

So, Wang Daqiang stepped forward, aggrieved, and picked up the piece of mushroom in front of him.

Two hands were not enough, so I used my clothes to pocket them, and then followed the crowd to continue walking.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Band mallet."

Chapter 38 Bitten by a Snake

Xu Shiyan was really surprised to hear someone yelling a stick. It took less than half a day to enter the mountain, and he opened his eyes?

So he hurriedly walked towards the man calling Shan, asking questions as he walked. "How many leaves?"

Over there, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Xu Shiyan was puzzled, and walked over quickly, looking in the direction where the stick was pointed, and almost twisted his nose in anger.

Where is the mallet, it is a small soursop.

Both ginseng and Acanthopanax belong to the Araliaceae family, and Acanthopanax is also known as a mallet.

Both have the same five palmate compound leaves, but the Acanthopanax leaves grow on prickly stems.

The seeds of Acanthopanax are purple-black, while the seeds of ginseng are red, which can be easily distinguished by experienced people.

"Grass, are your eyes covered with cow dung? You can't see clearly, just scream.

This is a fraudulent mountain, do you understand?Deceiving the mountain will offend the mountain god. "Xu Shiyan raised his leg angrily and kicked the man who called Shan.

"Now there are two choices, let's go down the mountain and go home immediately, or you will kneel on the ground and kowtow to the mountain god to make amends, you choose."

Xu Shiyan was so tired that he brought a bunch of trash into the mountains, so he was speechless.

The one who called Zheshan was Dong Chengan, who was two years younger than Xu Shiyan, and had never let Shan go before.

I saw something that looked like a mallet just now, and I shouted out of excitement.

It turned out that it wasn't a mallet, he was kicked by Xu Shiyan, and he was quite aggrieved at the moment.

"I kowtow to apologize, I apologize."

They just came to the mountain, if they go straight down the mountain, the big guy will hate him to death?Or kowtow to apologize.

So, Dong Cheng'an knelt down in front of a big pine tree, kowtowed three times, and kept chanting, apologizing to the mountain god.

After kowtowing, everyone continued to move forward. This time, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore, and just walked in the woods with their heads depressed.

The further you go, the denser the forest, the taller the grass, the denser the forest and the deeper the grass, you can't see each other a few steps away, and shouting is not allowed.

At this time, the only way to contact is to hit the tree trunk with a cable stick, which is also called "calling stick."

Once you can't see other people, you can knock on the tree trunk, and each of the others will respond by knocking one at a time, not only signaling their own position, but also signaling to continue pressing the mountain.

After walking out for a long time, everyone was exhausted.

Xu Shiyan tapped the tree trunk twice with a rope stick, which meant that everyone should come closer to him and rest for a cigarette.

"Hold your head, do you want to take a puff?" Chen Deyong could talk during the break, and walked up to Xu Shiyan, handing over the cigarette pouch.

Xu Shiyan waved his hand, he has no addiction to cigarettes, just sit down and rest for a while.

Seeing that Xu Shiyan didn't want cigarettes, Chen Deyong shook his head, turned around and sat down on a stump.

In the end, before Chen Deyong could sit down, Xu Shiyan stood up and kicked him over.

"I think we'd better break up, this mallet can't dig." Xu Shiyan said angrily.
