??Chapter 17 Into the Mountains and Release the Mountains
??When Xu Shiyan finished his work and came out of the agency compound, Chen Deyong had already been driven away by Uncle Wang.
?? "Xiao Xu, there was a man who came after you just now. I saw him sneaking around. He didn't look like a good person, so I asked me to drive him away."
??Old Wangtou stopped Xu Shiyan who was going out and reminded him.
??Xu Shiyan paused, and immediately thought of Chen Deyong.
?? Unexpectedly, after wandering around Donggang, he was still followed by Chen Deyong. This guy is so wicked.
?? "Thank you, sir." Xu Shiyan hurriedly thanked Old Wangtou. "If anyone inquires about me in the future, just drive him away."
??The way to earn money that I finally found, although I don’t earn much, and it can’t last for a long time, it can’t be destroyed by others.
?? "Success, don't worry, your uncle Wang will take care of any trivial matters."
??Old Wang took Xu Shiyan's food several times, so of course he had to do his best.
??Xu Shiyan thanked the old Wangtou and left the bureau compound.
??He knew that Chen Deyong was sure that the cat was watching in some corner, so he decided to wander around the town a few more times and walk the dog.
??Forestry Bureau store, Fusong store, non-staple food store, production material store, labor insurance store, medicinal material store, anyway, Xu Shiyan went to each of them for a couple of laps if he had money in his pocket.
?? Until these places have been wandered around, and there are a lot of things in the back basket, Xu Shiyan checked the time, and it was noon, so he went back.
??Xu Shiyan walked in front, followed by Chen Deyong who was dripping with sweat a few hundred meters behind.
??This morning, his legs were almost broken from walking.
??The point is, Xu Shiyan wandered into the store, and the store was cool and not hot.
?? But Chen Deyong can't do it outside, basking in the sun, it's really tired and hot.
??If it wasn't for figuring out what Xu Shiyan was going to do, how could Chen Deyong suffer this crime?
??The more Chen Deyong walked away, the angrier he became, why didn't he think that the third child of the Xu family was hated so much?
??Seeing that Xu Shiyan was walking towards the big house this time, Chen Deyong simply stopped following, and sat under the big tree by the side of the road to rest in the cool.
?? This morning, he was tossed to death by the heat.
??Xu Shiyan played tricks on Chen Deyong once, but he didn't take it seriously. When he got home, he began to prepare for the release of the mountain.
??In mid-August, the beginning of July in the lunar calendar, at this time, the crops in the field have grown, so there is no need to shovel and weed.
??At the same time, the ginseng in the deep mountains and old forests, bearing the bright red ginseng seeds, attracts mallet birds to peck at them, as well as countless people who dream of digging ginseng to make a fortune.
??This is what Fangshan people said, "Red Hammer" city.
??Ginseng is the king of all herbs, the first of Chinese medicine, and the first among the three treasures of the Kanto.
??People in the Changbai Mountain area call ginseng "bangchui", and they call ginseng digging in deep mountains and old forests "Fangshan".
??Every year in Red Hammer City, many people, either in gangs or alone, break into the deep mountains and old forests, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.
?? "You really want to go into the mountains? How dangerous are the deep mountains and old forests? Our family has saved some money now, do you have to take this risk?"
??Seeing Xu Shiyan busy packing up the things for going into the mountain, Su Anying asked worriedly.
?? "Of course I want to go, if you find a big one, you can sell it for a lot of money.
??We are living on our own now, spending money everywhere, what can we do with the money from selling fish? "
??Xu Shiyan continued to pack his things without even raising his head.
?? It is not a day or two to go to the mountains to release the mountains. You have to live in the mountains at night, and you have to prepare everything for food and use.
?? "We can't live in Aunt Li's house all the time, we have to have a nest of our own.
?? After we have a child, do we still live in someone else's house? "Xu Shiyan said while packing his things.
??Hearing her husband talking about the child, Su Anying subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and hesitated to speak.
?? "Then you can find a few people as companions anyway, how can I rest assured that you go into the mountain by yourself?" After a while, Su Anying said.
??Xu Shiyan heard the worry and distress in his daughter-in-law's words, looked up at Su Anying, and waved to her. "Come on, daughter-in-law, come and sit."
??Su Anying sat down beside Xu Shiyan as promised, Xu Shiyan clasped his hands and hugged his daughter-in-law in his arms.
?? "I have lived in the big house for seven years, and I am very familiar with the mountains and rivers around here. Don't worry, I will be fine by myself."
??In his previous life, he went to the mountains countless times, so he is very experienced in this area, and this area is very familiar, so there is really no need to worry.
?? "I'll only go out for six or seven days, and I won't go too far. If I don't encounter any big goods, I'll come back quickly.
??You are well at home, if you need anything, go to our mother. "Xu Shiyan put his arms around his daughter-in-law and comforted him softly.
?? It's not that he has to go alone, the main reason is that he has never been on a mountain in his life. Ordinary ginseng leaders are unwilling to bring their first-time leaders into the mountain. They think it is troublesome, so they just shirk and say that there are enough people.
??Xu Shiyan can't do anything either, if others don't take him, then he can do it alone.
??Su Anying is not an unreasonable person, she is just worried about her husband. Seeing that Xu Shiyan has made up his mind, she can't stop her.
??So I went to make a thick stack of pancakes for Xu Shiyan, fried a jar of sauce, and fried some small fish for something.
??Everything is done carefully and packed into a big rucksack.
?? To release the mountain, you have to choose a good day to enter the mountain. You don’t choose the first and fifteenth day of the first day, and you don’t choose the fourth day. Most of them choose the third, sixth, and ninth days.
?? On the morning of the third day of July, Xu Shiyan packed his bags and set off with sixty to seventy kilograms of things on his back.
??The big house is right by the river, and there are stone lazies everywhere on both sides of the river. Less than twenty miles south of Dafang village, there is a naturally formed cave on a stone ladle.
??There are stone tables and chairs in the cave, which looks like a natural creation. The locals say that it may be the place where gods lived, so it is also called "Fairy Cave" by the locals.
??Xu Shiyan vaguely remembered that in his last life, it seemed that this year, someone in the village dug a big item near the fairy cave.
??So, when he left the village, he headed south all the way, in the direction of Xianren Cave.
??The big house is located in a remote place, and the traffic conditions are not conducive to logging, so the surrounding forest damage is not so serious.
??The further south you go, the villages are gone, and the woods are getting denser.
??The thick and big trees have luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun. Even in the hot summer of August, the woods are not hot and hot, and it is cool everywhere.
??Living in the emerald green forest, breathing the fresh and moist air in the forest, listening to the crisp chirping of birds.
?? All this sounds beautiful, but in reality? Mosquitoes are most likely to breed in cool, humid places.
??These blood-sucking guys sense the presence of people, and will follow them anytime and anywhere, looking for opportunities to bite.
??In addition to mosquitoes, there are also small adzes, blindfolds, etc., which are constantly flying around people. Once they find an opportunity, they will bite hard.
??So most of the people who enter the mountain smoke, which can smoke away those annoying little things.
?? People who do not smoke, there are ways,
?? A piece of old beef liver is broken off from a tree and set on fire, either held in the hand, or wrapped around the branch and tied on the head.
??There is no open flame when the old beef liver burns, only blue and white smoke, which is the nemesis of mosquitoes, so it can be more comfortable.
