Little ginseng is super sticky

The top of Yunbai Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, but the foot of the mountain is lush green, and several villages have been built beside the stream.

On a rock in a remote place by the stream, there was a young man in thin clothes, as if he was not afraid of the cold water, rolled up his trousers to play with the little yellow ducks raised by the farmers in the water, and said with a light voice, "catch the ducks."

The little sparrows on his shoulders were fat and clung to his ears, "Catch a few."

Ah Yuan shrank her neck in itching, "Catch five."

The little sparrow waved its wings, "Catch it!"

Ah Yuan stepped on the water: "Gah."

"Chirp—"

"Gah."

"Chirp—"

Suddenly, the sound of the engine of the car approached and stopped at the entrance of the mountain.

Shocked, Ah Yuan immediately withdrew her legs from the water, lay down behind a rock, and sneaked a peek at the two men who got out of the car. They went straight to the trunk and took out the climbing equipment.

"Hurry up! Tell the clansmen that someone is going up the mountain." A Yuan anxiously supported the little sparrow, telling him to report the news quickly.

Because wild ginseng has high nutritional value and is scarce in quantity, the market value of wild ginseng far exceeds that of gold, and it is far beyond the comparison of artificially cultivated ginseng.Two years ago, a member of the ginseng tribe was accidentally discovered by a farmer while walking. After that, it was widely spread that Baiyun Mountain had hidden wild ginseng for thousands of years.In the past two years, a large number of ginseng pickers have come here to search for divine ginseng, in order to make huge profits or treat chronic diseases.

It is miserable for the ginseng family.

And A Yuan, as the only small ginseng essence of the ginseng tribe for thousands of years that can transform, naturally took on the important task of guarding the foot of the mountain, and also warded off many disasters for the tribe.

Ah Yuan peeked nervously at the two men, especially the tall one wearing the peaked cap. He felt that it was difficult to deal with, and he wanted to create more "obstacles" for them in the process of moving forward.

·

The entire mountain road was filled with Tang Jiefan's complaints.

"No...how is this broken mountain different from the one drawn on the map? After walking a few steps, a collapsed tree blocked the road. We went around and we haven't reached the camping area yet! I'm exhausted!"

"I will never climb this kind of undeveloped mountain again in the future. Isn't this making myself guilty?"

"I must be crazy! I thought I saw a snake just now. It was a snake! It's really terrible. Wouldn't it be delicious to lie down comfortably at home and eat hot pot?"

Tang Jiefan has a slightly fat physique, and his legs are relatively short, so he was out of breath when crawling.I complained endlessly there, but got no response. From the corner of the eye, I glanced at the people around me who were going in the opposite direction, and then shouted, "Archie! You went wrong. Look at the mark on the tree, you should go this way !"

The mountaineering enthusiasts who came to this mountain before made a mark on the tree for the convenience of themselves and future generations.

Mu Qi scanned the surrounding environment, touched the scratches on the nearest tree, and found two layers, the outermost layer was relatively new, obviously added recently, he pondered for a moment, lifted the brim of his hat, "Mark There is a problem, it should be here."

"What?" Tang Jiefan looked at the map and the trees inexplicably.He shivered, and quickly followed, "Hey, wait for me!"

They finally reached the camping area before the sun went down.Fortunately, Tang Jiefan patted Mu Qi on the shoulder, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would have suffered tonight."

This kind of remote mountainous area is most dangerous at night.

Mu Qi didn't speak, but took a flashlight and patrolled around the camping area.

The camping area is a flat land on the mountainside, close to the stream, with a wide view, which is convenient and safe.

However, the weather has been unstable recently, and climbers don't like to come here, so there are only two of them tonight.The depths of the forest at night are quiet and dark, with occasional strange sounds of frogs and birds.

They quickly set up two tents, Mu Qi sprayed mosquito repellent spray inside, and Tang Jiefan outside picked up wood and lit a fire, which provided warmth for this winter night and brought an unextinguishable light source.

The amount of exercise today is a bit heavy, so busy now, Mu Qi's head is a little dizzy, sitting cross-legged in the tent, not near the fire.After a while, he leaned slightly against the sleeping bag, his face was hidden under the brim of the hat, and the light from the mobile phone screen shone coldly on his face.

Tang Jiefan stooped in, snatched his mobile phone, and put it in his pocket, "The signal on this mountain is not good, so there's nothing interesting." He glanced at Mu Qi's face as he spoke, and the latter pursed his lips lightly, as if he saw it again. What bad news, not very happy.

"Those people on the Internet are so idle, most of them are unhappy with their own lives and go to point out other people's lives. I don't see many real netizens. Most of them are black fans hired by their relatives. They force you to rely on my lawyer letter all day long. I’m so fucking tired, I’m in a hurry to build them a water drop chip and send them to see their brains! Hey, let’s leave them alone for the time being, didn’t we agree to come here to climb the mountain to relax! Turn off your phone!” Tang Jiefan turned off both mobile phones while talking.

Seeing that Mu Qi was still silent, Tang Jiefan tried to divert his attention and got up to unpack the accompanying package, "Archie, you mess with the grill, I'll wash the ingredients, we'll have a good meal tonight."

Tang Jiefan brought a lot of pork belly, beef, mutton, chicken wings and vegetables this time. After washing and cutting into small pieces with a knife, he quickly put them on the grill.

Mu Qi rubbed his temples, then adjusted the barbecue seasoning, glanced at his movements, "Put the amount for one person."

Tang Jiefan spread the food regardless, "I didn't say I'd give it to you, it's all for me alone, so don't grab it from me for a while!"

Mu Qi looked at him silently for two seconds, then stopped talking, took off his peaked cap and fanned himself over the charcoal fire, and concentrated on grilling the meat.

Soon, the surface of the pork belly was covered with crystal clear meat oil, with a mouth-watering meaty aroma. The cumin black pepper was tumbling on the surface of the meat, and the oil dripped onto the charcoal to make a "sizzling" sound.

Tang Jiefan couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, and yelled, "Damn! It's so delicious! Archie, your craftsmanship is really amazing! Every time I am so surprised, I'm used to you , compared to the food your sister-in-law cooks, you can live..."

Mu Qi gave him a piece of paper, "Wipe your mouth."

"Try a piece too." Tang Jiefan held a chopstick and handed it to his mouth.

Mu Qi took a step back reflexively, and frowned at him, "Brother Fan."

Tang Jiefan's heart tugged, and his face was relaxed and natural, "You see, we climbed the mountain today. With such a lot of exercise, it's not too much to eat some meat, right? It's all roasted, so it's a waste if you don't eat it?"

"There are 154 kcal per 2 grams. After eating all the calories on this plate plus dipping sauce, it is equivalent to the fact that I have climbed this mountain for nothing today, and I have to run for another [-] hours to consume it. Halfway up the mountain, I I have already eaten compressed biscuits, and I have enough calories for today." Mu Qi calculated without hesitation, and turned all the food on the grill, "It is what you said to eat, and you are responsible for finishing it yourself. "

Then put down the clamp, distanced himself from him, and stopped looking at the food on the shelf.

Tang Jiefan instantly felt that the delicious food in his mouth was tasteless, and he was a little depressed, "I just hope that you will be happier after eating these."

Mu Qi threw a can of beer to him, and opened the can for himself, "I might be even more unhappy after I eat it."

Tang Jiefan squeezed his chopsticks tightly, and tentatively said:

"Find something else to do? Last time I gave you an orange cat, you don't want it. Your sister-in-law said that she should introduce you to someone. Anyway, the company is not in charge now. It's good to talk about love and change your attention. What do you like?"

Mu Qi sat in the tent, took a sip of wine, "I like those who talk less."

Tang Jiefan: "..."

He put the chopsticks and potatoes in his mouth, and he nodded frequently, "One thing to say, your cooking skills are really good, why don't we start a restaurant together? You will be the chef, and I will be the manager to help you count the money... ..."

"You have something to do." Mu Qi looked at him and said.

Tang Jiefan was stunned for two seconds, then took a sip of wine, "Oh, there is something wrong, it's nothing serious, I resigned."

Mu Qi was dumb for a moment, and squeezed the can in his hand a little bit, "You don't have to do it for me..."

"Come on, you put gold on your face again. I can't stay with that idiot company anymore! It's not entirely for you, and you, the most profitable artist, have left. I, as a manager, can't follow Did you slip away?"

Mu Qi's brows furrowed deeper, Tang Jiefan rolled his eyes, and changed the subject with a smile, "Didn't I do a lot of homework before I came here? I also discovered a very mysterious legend, do you want to hear it?"

Mu Qi: "Did the company embarrass you because of me..."

"Did you know that there are ginseng spirits on this mountain?" Tang Jiefan interrupted him, his voice suddenly became softer, muttering, "It is said that the ginseng family's monsters are so exquisite that the ancient royal family would take them back as pets. , or eat them, you can prolong your life and live forever. The way of catching them is also very interesting, they are afraid of red things, if you tie them with red things, they can't escape."

As if he still didn't believe in evil, he picked up a branch everywhere and poked it on the ground, "Let me see how beautiful it is..."

Mu Qi seemed to have never heard of it, hiding in the shadow of the tent, not even the light from the fire could shine through.

Tang Jiefan felt a little frustrated in his heart, and threw the branch casually.

In the end, I put a plate of barbecue, cut some fruit, and put it in front of Mu Qi, "Last week, the doctor said that your score on the Mizes cognitive test paper has reached the critical value, and symptoms of dizziness and insomnia have begun to appear. If it gets serious... Archie, we won't be in the entertainment industry anymore, but think about those who care about you. If your grandma hasn't passed away, seeing you like this... I'll find a place with a good signal. Your sister-in-law is safe."

The signal in the mountains was really bad, and Tang Jiefan only popped out a signal after walking a long way.

On the other side of the camping area, the only thing left was the crackling sound of the fire burning.

The beer flowed into the spleen and stomach, and it was cold for a while.Mu Qi caressed the braided red rope between his wrists, rubbing it all the year round, so the surface layer was already a little pilled, and the loose size was no longer suitable.

This is the red rope that grandma got for him in the temple to protect his safety when she was alive.

He doesn't believe in these, but just to keep them in mind, so he keeps wearing them.

Looking at the roasted meat that was still steaming with residual heat, the smell of meat filling Mu Qi's nostrils seemed like a mockery.The emotion in Mu Qi's eyes was broken.

Maybe he can make the most delicious food in the world, but he suffers from anorexia that he doesn't want to believe.

He is obviously very hungry now, but he hates chewing even more and is afraid of swallowing. He does not know when eating has become a difficult task, and his calorie control is even accurate to single digits.

Now, he is still thinking about whether the beer he just drank will exceed his daily caloric needs.

At the same time, a black figure was quietly approaching the plate of barbecue.

The little sparrow circled around Ah Yuan, "Don't go there, it's over if humans find out! Let's go!"

Ah Yuan squatted obediently next to the barbecue, "It's been quiet for a while, I guess they're asleep. And I've been observing them all day, they are not ginseng pickers, they seem to be here to climb mountains, and they are quite fragrant." Yes, I think they didn't deliberately harm the animals and plants here. No, no, people are pretty good too..." His eyes were fixed on the barbecue.

Hearing what he said, the little sparrow felt relieved, and drooled while looking at the grilled corn on the plate, "This man doesn't seem to eat it, can we eat it? Human food smells so good, how can we eat it?" Get these spices..."

"No." Ah Yuan's legs were exhausted, and she just sat on the edge, "You can't touch other people's things without permission."

The little sparrow was jumping up and down with envy.

in the tent.

Mu Qi couldn't drink enough, he was a little tipsy at first, but he was startled by the sudden appearance of this young man in a daze, and instantly sobered up a lot.

Look at him wearing a white sweater and washed white jeans, showing his fair ankles.Mu Qi's first thought was not who he was, but whether he was cold.

The boy's hair is a little chestnut, fluffy and slightly curly, and the pupils reflect the light of the flames, which are clear and bright.He looked at the meat intently, as if what was in front of him was some kind of treasure in the world.

Afterwards, the boy took out a blue fruit from his pocket, which looked like a wild fruit from the mountains.He mechanically broke it apart and put it in his mouth, his eyes still staring at the barbecue without blinking, as if he was eating meat, which tasted like looking forward to plums to quench his thirst.

The juice is wrapped in the pulp, colliding with the gums, the sound of chewing and swallowing is very prominent in this quiet night, but Mu Qi unexpectedly felt a little...cute?

He didn't know why the word came to his mind.

Mu Qi's eyes couldn't help but linger on the fruit on the boy's lips for two seconds.

The little sparrow tried to steal it a few times, but was stopped by the young man, and he seemed to be talking in bird language with a "chirp chirp" in his mouth.

The boy is a villager in a nearby village?

"You can eat." Mu Qi slightly opened his lips.

He had lowered the volume as much as possible, but he was still so frightened that the young man almost dropped the green fruit in his hand, and stepped back suddenly, but the little sparrow couldn't concentrate, and only saw the sweet corn that was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside. , still hovering near the barbecue plate.

No matter how much Ren Ayuan called, he ignored it.

Ah Yuan had no choice but to twist the hem of her clothes with her fingers, hesitated for a while, and then approached again.Carefully looked at the man leaning against the tent.At this time, he was not wearing a hat, and was wearing a smoky gray pullover sweater. He had a broad frame, thin collarbone and jawline, and his tea-brown eyes were cold when looking at people.He was dressed quite a lot, but it felt cooler than the cold wind of this winter night, as if the next moment, he would disappear with the night bugs.

The little sparrow took advantage of Ah Yuan's amazing skill, picked up a piece of corn and flew high.

A Yuan stretched out his hand to catch him but he didn't catch it, sighed, and said to Mu Qi coyly, "I'm sorry, my friend was naughty."

He glanced uncontrollably at the plate of barbecue.

Mu Qi showed a nonchalant expression, and pointed at him the beer can in his hand, "Please go ahead."

That being the case, Ah Yuan is no longer polite.

He was really hungry. Although there were enough fruits in the forest, since he took human form, he had been paying special attention to human food, and those fruits didn't taste the same as before.

Ah Yuan thanked her, then sat down lightly, took the first piece of chicken wing with honey sauce and put it in her mouth.

"The chopsticks have never been used." Mu Qi reminded with a hoarse voice.

Ah Yuan was embarrassed to lick his lower lip. In fact, he was not used to using that thing, but his hands were indeed too rough to be human, so he had to use chopsticks to poke the meat, fortunately, it didn't bother him.

The barbecue should be a little cold now.But the young man in front of him was full of enjoyment, and he didn't seem to care at all. He ate very quickly at first, but then he seemed reluctant to finish it, and began to chew in small bites.

The crisp chewing sound reached Mu Qi's ears again, he suddenly felt restless, and took a sip of the wine in the can.

Amid Ah Yuan's reluctance to give up, her flesh was sucked up.

Mu Qi noticed that the boy's eyes turned to the purple food next to him.

"What is this?" Ah Yuan knew it was for food, but the color was weird.

Mu Qi: "Red heart dragon fruit, have you ever eaten it?"

"We don't have any here." As she spoke, Ah Yuan picked up a piece with her chopsticks, "How do you eat this?"

Mu Qi looked at his curious face, and his heart moved, "If you eat red meat, you have to spit out the black seeds inside."

Ah Yuan blinked, "Is it so troublesome?"

Feeling troublesome in his mouth, he still took a small bite of the dragon fruit, honestly separated the pulp and seeds with his tongue, and ate it until his mouth seemed to be painted with purple lipstick.

He also grinned at Mu Qi and smiled.

After swallowing the pulp, he carefully spit out the seeds in the plate, "It's tasteless...it's over! I accidentally swallowed a few seeds, should it matter?"

He was a little flustered.

Mu Qi coughed lightly, "Then you may have a lot of dragon fruits growing in your stomach."

"Ah—" Ah Yuan's eyes widened, "What should I do, this..."

It turned out that the man in the tent shrugged his shoulders, and after two seconds, a trace of laughter escaped.

Ah Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was being tricked!

"You, you!" A Yuan stood up from his seat, and looked at Mu Qi angrily, but the latter didn't hide anymore, and his laughter filled the air.

A Yuan was furious, so she fished out the green fruit that she hadn't finished eating just now, and threw it on Mu Qi.

He was about to leave after smashing, but was stopped by Mu Qi—"Wait."

Ah Yuan was full of anger, she turned her back and didn't look at him, but stopped in her footsteps.

Mu Qi dug out a piece of chocolate from Tang Jie's bag and handed it to A Yuan, "Apologize."

Ah Yuan didn't want to pick it up at first, but he couldn't help it when he smelled the sweet smell coming from the edge of the tinfoil package.He likes to eat sweet things best, and this apology is completely irresistible.

"It's so late, let's go home." After speaking, Mu Qi left him alone and sat back in the tent, only to find that he was holding the unknown green fruit that Ah Yuan had just bitten into in his hand.

By coincidence, he turned the green fruit over, brought the unbitten part to his mouth, and cracked a small piece with his teeth.

So astringent.

But not particularly bad.

What followed was the familiar sense of resistance, the body instinctively wanted him to spit out what was in his mouth, as if a monster lived in his internal organs, yelling at him crazily.

You haven't eaten this thing, you don't know the calories of this thing at all!Just one sip can knock your weight out of control!

He closed his eyes, his hands trembled slightly, and after a long struggle, he was able to swallow the thing.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils returned to their usual coolness.

He lay down in his sleeping bag, feeling that his actions just now were a bit ridiculous.

……

Ah Yuan outside the tent stood upright for a while, making sure that the man would not come out again, then quickly peeled off the tin foil and stuffed the chocolate into his mouth.The slightly bitter milky fragrance melted in the mouth with pure sweetness, and the anger that Ah Yuan was angry with just now disappeared, but...

It smells weird inside, like—wine smell?

He wanted to spit it out, but it was too late!The body quickly became paralyzed and changed, ginseng whiskers pervaded from the limbs, exuding the fragrance of medicine, and instantly turned into a small white jade-like ginseng, fainting on the lawn.

Ginseng is not only afraid of being red, but also afraid of wine!

As long as he touches a drop of wine, he will change back to his original shape and lose his vitality.This is one of the reasons why humans use ginseng to make wine.

Ah Yuan's last thought was, is this actually a bonbon?

·

The next morning.

Mu Qi's tent was slapped from the outside, "Archie, Archie! The weather forecast says that there will be heavy rain in a while, we have to go down the mountain quickly, otherwise the road will be difficult to walk."

I was still surprised that this person didn't seem to have insomnia yesterday, but slept very deeply.

After a while, a voice came from inside, "Got it."

Tang Jiefan began to tear down the tent, "I called last night and I heard your laughter. Who are you talking to?"

Mu Qi unzipped the zipper and came out fully dressed.

Tang Jiefan noticed his usual indifferent expression, and felt that he must have heard hallucinations last night.

While washing, Mu Qi looked at the place where the barbecue grill was yesterday. At this time, Tang Jiefan had cleaned it up completely, and there was no rubbish left.

What happened last night seemed to be just a dream when he was drunk.

Tang Jiefan kept urging, "Hurry up! Hurry up! You see the weather has changed, we have to leave immediately."

So, Mu Qilisuo carried the mountaineering bag on his back, held the folding tent in his left hand, and the grill in his right hand, and hurried down the mountain road with Tang Jiefan, not noticing that the red rope on his wrist had slipped off quietly...

Coincidentally, it just hit the head of the sleeping little ginseng on the lawn.

The ginseng's whiskers of the little ginseng moved, and the medicinal fragrance overflowed, instantly turning into a delicate and soft boy.

Ah Yuan's hair was curled up in sleep, she sat up sleepily, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and suddenly saw an extra red string sticking out from her wrist...

Ah Yuan:?

After two seconds.

Ah Yuan:! …
