Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

A group of seven people, four hunting dogs, and a lynx. They drove into Heixiaziling in a mighty manner. Not far north of the village was a forest. This forest belonged to the village, similar to an exclusive economic zone, and people from other villages were not allowed to come. This kind of place was where the villagers dug wild vegetables. The area was quite large, but there were no valuable treasures. They just passed by and went straight into the deep mountains and old forests.

Since the secret base in the mountains was blown up, there have been no more monsters like corpse-eating dogs, and the mountains and forests have returned to their former tranquility. Occasionally, there are reports of black bears, leopards, and tigers injuring people. This is completely inevitable when living in the forest area. Especially in a village like Heixiaziling, there is not even a village within a dozen miles, and there are woods and wild lands everywhere. It is very common for wild animals to enter the village.

The group happily entered the forest, with Dahuang still leading the way, running around in the woods with the lynx Dahua and three other hunting dogs, full of energy.

In the interior of the country, the weather was already very hot after May Day, but in the forests of Changbai Mountain, it was spring. On the sunny side of the south slope, the coniferous trees became greener and the broad-leaved trees began to grow rapidly.

After everyone sprayed tick medicine, they started looking for ginseng.

Since there are more wild animals in this season and it becomes easier to hunt wild animals, the risk for mountain herders is lower, so there is no need to be so nervous to guard against wild animals.

"Zhao Yong, you hold the gun and stand in front as a scout. Daya, you stay on guard in the team. The others use long sticks to drive the beasts out of the mountains. Our main targets are ginseng, ganoderma, monkey heads, and fungus. This is the breeding season. As long as the beasts don't attack us, we don't need to hunt. We still have to abide by the rules."

"Okay." Everyone responded and went about their business.

Zhao Yong walked in front holding a Hanyang-made gun, and the scouts were responsible for guarding and clearing the way. The people behind him, each holding a two-meter-long thin stick, searched around and pulled the grass to find ginseng.

Ginseng sprouts have already grown quite high this season and are very easy to find.

Wild grass, bushes and cliff edges are all key areas of search.

Erya was carrying a big bamboo basket and jumping around. As soon as she entered the mountains, she became very active and talkative.

Zhao Hua was the first to achieve success. He found a ginseng, but it was not very old. It was a wild ginseng about ten years old and he didn't dig it carefully. He just used a hoe to dig it up. It was worth only two or three yuan.

Then Li Hu shouted, "We've made a fortune, we've made a fortune."

When they ran over to take a look, they saw that for some unknown reason several trees in the oak forest ahead had died, and the trunks were densely covered with more than a dozen Ganoderma lucidum, all as big as a palm.

The price of wild Ganoderma lucidum is still quite high, with the price of dried products exceeding 20 yuan per pound, which is completely different from the ordinary herbs that cost only a few cents per pound. Moreover, Ganoderma lucidum is rare, so if it is made into a beautifully packaged box, it can be a gift.

"They are growing very well. Pick them quickly. Leave the small ones to continue growing and only collect the big ones." Liu Xia Lian arranged.

"Okay, sister."

Li Hu and Daya carefully collected the Ganoderma lucidum and actually got half a basket. If an ordinary family collected so much, they would be very happy. However, with the idea of ​​long-term development, they left the small pieces on the tree.

Ganoderma lucidum has high medicinal value. Although the wild Ganoderma lucidum from Changbai Mountain is not as precious as the old mountain ginseng, it is also a rare and good thing.

While picking Ganoderma lucidum here, Da Huang in front made a warning barking sound, which meant he discovered danger.

Zhao Yong looked over and saw a poisonous snake with a triangular head at the edge of the bushes. It was about one meter long and black in color, and was wriggling lazily in the sun.

"There are poisonous snakes, be careful."

Four hounds surrounded and barked, but none of them dared to get close. They were very smart and knew what they could hit and what they could not hit.

Zhao Yong took a long pole and was ready to pick it up, when suddenly a shadow flashed by and Dahua ran away with the poisonous snake in its mouth. Fearing that the hunting dogs would snatch it away, he quickly found a tree and started eating impatiently.

"Come and take a look, is there ginseng growing here?" Zhao Yong found several plants similar to ginseng where the snake was lurking, but he was not an expert and could not be sure.

Li Damei came over and took a look, and was shocked: "Oh my God, this has poked a ginseng nest, seven or eight trees, it is possible that they were planted by an old man when he was driving in the mountains."

He immediately took a small shovel and dug it up, exclaiming: "It's quite old, at least fifteen or sixteen years old."

Zhao Yong suddenly wilted: "I thought I could dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng. I feel embarrassed to eat for free with Sister Xia Lian."

Liu Xialian said: "It's okay, these seven or eight ginsengs are worth at least a hundred yuan, and they can buy you enough corn bread to eat for three months."

"No, no, no, please spare me. I won't eat so many corn buns."

Liu Xia Lian saw that the ginsengs grew in a relatively scattered manner, which did not seem like seeds sown by humans. Ginsengs tend to cluster in groups. The presence of a nest here meant that there should be a larger tree nearby, and the seeds must have been spread by squirrels, pheasants, wind, etc.

After searching dozens of acres nearby, we did not find any high-year ginseng. Instead, we found five or six ginsengs that were more than ten years old.

Erya asked Liu Xialian: "Sister, what are you looking for?"

"Look at all the young ginsengs here. There must be a high-year ginseng nearby, but I looked around and couldn't find it. It's strange."

Erya pointed at the squirrel on the big tree and said, "These ginseng should be excreted by the squirrel after eating the ginseng seeds. There is no ginseng on the flat ground, so it is impossible to find it on the mountain."

Liu Xia Lian looked up at a ridge facing north. The slope was quite steep, about sixty or seventy degrees. She cut through the bushes and slowly climbed up. There were many red pine trees on the ridge. Several squirrels were on the trees, watching Dahua eat spicy strips vigilantly.

However, lynxes generally don’t eat squirrels. After all, there is not much meat on them, and their whole body is just a big tail.

Three more ginsengs were found, these three were obviously big, and they were still there after more than 20 years. Liu Xialian put down her rifle, checked the surrounding area and found no poisonous snakes, so she used a hoe to dig them out.

If other mountain herders saw this, they would definitely curse, saying that this is digging ginseng as if it were sweet potato.

Li Damei was digging at the bottom of the hill when she heard Liu Xialian calling out, "Damei, come up."

When Damei heard that there must be a big deal, she immediately put down her work, picked up her tool bag and came up. She saw a ginseng plant with lush branches and leaves next to the bushes, and the number of leaves was proportional to the size of the rhizome.

Tie a red string and hang a large sum of money immediately.

"Sister, your skill in finding ginseng is simply amazing." Li Hu also rushed over.

Liu Xialian began to arrange the division of labor: "Li Hu, you dig the outer periphery first, and the others will collect a dozen small trees first. Check them before digging, and leave the ones that are less than ten years old to others. You guys dig, and I will plant ginseng."

In the bag she carries with her are the sprouted ginseng seeds taken out from the space. For the sake of Changbai Mountain and future generations, Liu Xia Lian adopts the method of digging ten, that is, after digging up one ginseng, she will plant ten ginseng seeds around it.
