Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Xu Shiyan has not been so busy recently, so he leaves work normally every day.

When I got home this afternoon, I found that my eldest son was at home. After asking, I found out that the co-authored school exam had passed the final exam.

The last subject in the afternoon was geography, and Xu Haiyuan handed in the paper early and ran home.

Xu Shiyan didn't ask how his son was doing in the exam.

Xu Haiyuan, on the other hand, brought it up, saying that the result of the competition came out, and he might win the prize.

"Well, it's good, work hard.

By the way, how many days do you take the exam? When will you finish the exam? After you finish the exam, go out with me to do some errands. "

Xu Shiyan planned to go to that Shilazi in the big house and dig up all the remaining sticks on the platform.

This trip is estimated to take several days. He doesn't want to take others with him, so he should take his eldest son with him.

"I'll finish the exam the morning after tomorrow. After the exam, I will have a holiday. Just go back to school in a few days to listen to the results and get the homework for the holiday."

Xu Haiyuan didn't know what his father asked him to do, but since he was called, there must be something important.

"Dad, how many days does it take to go out to do errands?

If it takes a long time, I will tell the teacher in advance, and I can ask someone to help me get the grades and homework. "

"Well, maybe a week, not sure.

OK, you can find someone to help you. "

Xu Shiyan thought for a while, if the clubs on the platform were still there, it would probably take a few days.

Of course, other situations are not ruled out, so set aside a week, it should be about the same.

Just like that, the father and father agreed on a time, and when Su Anying came back, Xu Shiyan talked to his wife again.

Su Anying knew about the mallet on the platform, and thought that Xu Shiyan didn't plan to go back.

Since the two of them were going back to dig the mallet, Su Anying hurriedly prepared food for them.

It takes a long time to go to the mountains, and pancakes are a must-have. No bread or cake can compare to this thing.

In addition to pancakes, pickles, meat sauce, etc., Su Anying also prepared instant noodles and ham sausage.

These two things are new gadgets these days, and they must be brought with you when you travel.

On July 12th, the junior high school exam is over.

On the morning of the thirteenth, Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan packed up their bags, loaded them into the car, and prepared to go up the mountain.

As a result, the rascal who ran away for many days and only came back last night followed Xu Shiyan closely, and refused to leave no matter how hard he pushed him away.

Xu Shiyan saw that there was no way out, so he could only let Lai Pigui and Xu Haiyuan sit in the back seat of the jeep.

Just like that, he drove his son and the fox and left home.

The construction of the cascade power station has not yet started, and the upper reaches of the Xijiang River have not been cut off, and there is a lot of water in summer.

If Xu Shiyan and his son want to cross the river, they have to take a boat.

If they took a boat, they would inevitably alarm the villagers, so Xu Shiyan and his son could not go to Shilazi with peace of mind.

So Xu Shiyan drove, detoured from the county to Xigang, and then drove from Xigang to the big house.

From Xigang to Qingling, the road is not easy to walk.

Fortunately, it was a jeep that drove past Qingling, a few miles away from the big house.

Xu Shiyan managed to park the car on the side of the road, then took his son and the fox, got out of the car and walked to the place where he found the ginseng.

While walking, Xu Shiyan told his son what happened when he went to the mountains to release them.

At that time, he was chased by the black blind man and had nowhere to escape, so he ran to the side of Shilazi, but it was a blessing in disguise, and met a bunch of sticks.

"Father, you met that mountain ginseng in the summer of 1977, right?

It's been more than ten years, will someone find out that the mallet has been dug away? "

Xu Haiyuan was carrying a huge luggage bag, and followed behind Xu Shiyan. It was okay at first, and he didn't fall behind at all.

The child's strength is not so long-term, and he is a little tired later, and he is panting heavily.

"I came back to see it twice before, and the mallets below are still there, but I haven't been back in the past two years, so I don't know what's going on.

I guess it shouldn't be a big deal, unless you jump down to that place, you won't be able to find it from above. "Xu Shiyan was also exhausted and panicked.

After all, in these years, I haven't made much effort, and I've been sitting in the office.

Not to mention his age, he is almost forty, and he is incomparable to what he was back then.

My father and I left home at 3:30 in the morning, and after driving around for a long time, it was 7 or 8 in the morning.

After getting out of the car and going into the mountain, there were two breaks in between, and when they came to the pine tree by the cliff, it was already ten o'clock.

"Just down here, see? There's a platform down there.

You wait, I will tie the rope, and we will go down the rope. "

When they came under the pine tree, Xu Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief, and the two of them put down the big backpacks behind them.

Xu Shiyan dug out a long rope from his bag, one end was tied with a pig's trotter buckle on the tree trunk, and the other end was slid under the lazier.

Xu Shiyan went down first, walked around the platform, and found a lot of ginseng.

In this season, the ginseng seeds seem to be unfinished, and they are still green, which is the time when Dajiabianer City is transitioning to Qinglangtou City.

Although the ginseng seeds are green and the same color as the surrounding grass and leaves, Xu Shiyan has had many years of experience in mountain climbing.

According to the local people, it means killing grass with eyes.

It was easy to find traces of ginseng from the green grass and shrubs on the platform.

Seeing ginseng, Xu Shiyan was relieved, so he went back to the rope and shouted towards it.

"Yuanyuan, you roll things down first, and then you come down again.

Raipi ghost, try to see if you can hold it down, or let it jump down by itself, and I will continue below. "

The rambunctious ghost must not stay on it, so it can only be brought down together.

Xu Haiyuan heard his father's shout, and after responding, he rolled the things the two brought down from above.

Xu Shiyan caught the backpack and other things underneath, put them aside, and then stood below waiting for his son and rascal to come down.

Xu Haiyuan carried Lai Pigui on his back with leggings, then he held the rope with both hands, stepped on the Lazi stone wall with his feet, and came down the rope bit by bit.

Xu Shiyan was below, took his son, and Xu Haiyuan landed safely.

Afterwards, the Laipi Ghost was untied, and the Lai Pigui shook his big tail and wandered around on the platform.

As a result, after taking a few steps, it found the ginseng on the platform, so it immediately jumped back, biting Xu Shiyan's trouser leg and pulling it forward.

"Yes, yes, I know there are ginseng on it, if not for this, can I bring you here?"

Xu Shiyan laughed uncontrollably at being teased by the rambunctious ghost, and hurriedly found out the tools for carrying ginseng, such as a mallet lock, deer bone sticks, Kuidang axe, Kuidang scissors, etc. from the luggage.

What Xu Shiyan meant, this time, he almost lifted all the sticks off the platform.

So don't worry about the size of ginseng, just carry it next to each other.

But Lai Pigui was unwilling to live and die, so he had to drag Xu Shiyan forward.

Go all the way to the middle of the platform, and then Lai Pigui circled around a six-pin leaf seedling in the middle.

"Father, does it want you to carry this ginseng first? Hey, this is a six-pin leaf.

Didn't you say that you carried away all the sixth-grade leaves on it back then? Is this a new leaf? "

Xu Haiyuan walked over to have a look, and asked a very strange question.

"It's possible. After all, it's been thirteen years. It's possible that the five-rank leaf could grow into a sixth-rank leaf."

Things like wild ginseng can be dormant.

Sometimes when there is drought or other unexpected situations in the beginning of spring, it is very likely that the wild ginseng will not germinate this year and will be dormant in the ground until the conditions are suitable before it will germinate in the soil.

That's why there are often such legends, saying that they met ginseng when they entered the mountain, but for some reason they didn't dig it out.

So I left a mark and waited to dig it next year, but it disappeared next time.

People will mistakenly think that the ginseng ran away, but in fact it probably didn't germinate after that.

Xu Shiyan was not sure what happened to the extra sixth-grade leaves on the platform.

It is hard to say whether in the past ten years or so, a fifth-rank leaf has become a sixth-rank leaf, or whether the sixth-rank leaf was not unearthed that year.

But the one that Lai Pigui led Xu Shiyan to look at had a thick stalk and a large ginseng seed.

Therefore, Xu Shiyan estimated that it might not be the new sixth-grade leaves that have grown in recent years.

It is very possible that this ginseng tree was not unearthed the year he came here.

Otherwise, he didn't pay attention at the time and was left behind.

After all, so many years have passed, even if Xu Shiyan has a good memory, it is impossible to remember the location of every ginseng tree.

There are many ginseng on the platform, Xu Shiyan greeted Xu Haiyuan, and tied all the ginseng he found with red cloth strips.

According to the rules, it should be locked with a mallet, but there is only one mallet lock, which is tied to the six-pin leaf that Lapigui found.

Others can only be marked with red cloth strips, so as not to be confused with the surrounding grass and shrubs.

Xu Haiyuan took the rambunctious ghost around on the platform, looking for ginseng.

Probably because the fox's sense of smell is particularly sensitive, this rascal is much more powerful than Xu Haiyuan.

Shaking its big fluffy tail, it jumped here and there for a while, and when it found a ginseng, it hummed at Xu Haiyuan.

As soon as Xu Haiyuan heard the rascal whining, he went over immediately, found the ginseng, and tied it with a red cloth.

After a while, Lai Pigui led Xu Haiyuan to find more than ten trees.

Among them, there are two Liupinye trees, the stems seem to be a little thinner, and the ginseng seeds are not that big.

In the green, tied with red cloth strips, it is particularly conspicuous, so there is no fear of missing something.

Xu Haiyuan and Lai Pigui went to look for Shen, while Xu Shiyan started to find a way to build the master's mansion first.

After setting up the old man's mansion, he broke off three sticks and lit them as incense. He called Xu Haiyuan, and the two of them kowtowed.

This is the rule of letting go of the mountain. The first thing to do when entering the mountain is to worship the mountain god.

Even if Xu Shiyan came here for this platform this time, he couldn't ignore the rules he should have.

After worshiping the old mountain god, Xu Shiyan climbed up to collect a lot of firewood, filled with water, and cut a few poles to build a shelter from the wind and rain.

It is much easier to build a shack now than before. You only need to build a shelf with poles and cover it with a piece of plastic sheeting. It is windproof and warm and convenient.

The shack was quickly set up, Xu Shiyan found something to build a fire, first boiled some water in a small aluminum pot with two ears, and cooked two packets of noodles.

Greeting Xu Haiyuan over, the two ate pancakes with instant noodles.

No matter what, you must fill your stomach before you can work.

After eating, Xu Shiyan found some Artemisia annua and other things, threw them on the fire, and smoked the mosquitoes.

Then I took the ginseng lifting tool and started to lift the ginseng.

The first ginseng was naturally the one that Lai Pigui dragged Xu Shiyan to see.

Xu Shiyan cleared the weeds around the ginseng, and then took a deer bone stick and started to go down the ginseng stem, pushing away the soil bit by bit.

This work must be done carefully and carefully, not too anxious, but fortunately Xu Shiyan is very patient and does not feel boring at all.

Xu Haiyuan marked all the participants on the platform, and there is nothing wrong now, just helping Xu Shiyan.

He handed Xu Shiyan whatever he used, and the father and father cooperated very well. After an hour or so, the shoulder of the ginseng tree was finally exposed.

When Xu Shiyan saw it, he felt that this ginseng was not small.

"I didn't expect that such a big tree fell on the platform.

This place is really a treasure. If it weren't for the construction of a dam upstream, the environment here would be easily destroyed. I can't come here to carry ginseng.

Just keep it like this, and wait for another 20 or 30 years, and these mallets can grow even bigger. "

While carrying the ginseng, Xu Shiyan muttered to Xu Haiyuan.

Xu Haiyuan laughed when he heard this, "Who can say this kind of thing?

Even if the dam is not built, it must be lifted when it is necessary, otherwise who knows what accidents will happen? "

Xu Shiyan agreed when he heard it. The things in the mountains are not the vegetables in his own vegetable garden after all.

Not to mention whether the participants will encounter any natural disasters, but what if someone also discovers this place?

After all, wasn't Xu Shiyan also discovered such a secret place?

The father and father chatted a few words casually, and Xu Shiyan concentrated on carrying the ginseng.

This ginseng tree is not too small, Xu Shiyan has been busy from noon until it was almost dark at night, so he finally brought out the first ginseng tree.

"This ginseng must have at least four or five taels. Go back and process it and keep it. It can be stored for many years."

Xu Shiyan looked at the ginseng in his hand and liked it very much.

Quickly found moss and birch bark, took some soil from the original place, carefully wrapped the ginseng and put it in their backpacks.

It was getting late and we couldn't continue to carry ginseng, so the father and father just dealt with a bite of food, and then got into the shack to rest.

The ground is covered with a layer of tree branches and a mattress of roe deer skin, which insulates against the cold and moisture, so it does not feel cold when lying on it.

Mid-July is supposed to be the hottest season, but the night in this mountain is chilly.

Especially since this platform is right next to the river, there is a lot of water vapor at night, making it even cooler.

Fortunately, the father and son brought a lot of luggage, and there was a fire outside, so it could be warmer by roasting.

In addition, the rascal is lying between Xu Shiyan and Xu Haiyuan, this natural fur is warmer than anything else, so it won't be cold.

The shack is made of plastic sheeting. The white plastic sheeting is transparent, and you can see the stars in the sky when lying inside.

"Father, how did you spend seven or eight days under this stone ladle?

Where does the water come from? Are there any beasts at night? "

Xu Haiyuan thought this scene was very interesting, and couldn't sleep at night, so he asked his father about the situation back then.

"Yes, there were wolves at that time, and I was below, and I could hear the wolves howling above.

But they dare not come down, so I am not afraid. "Xu Shiyan smiled and told his son about the situation back then.

"In recent years, wolves have become less and less. Even if there are, they are all in the deep mountains and old forests. There are no such places here. Don't be afraid."

"Drinking water is easy. Go up here and walk southwest for a while. There is a small river ditch. Just get water from there."

The father and father were lying in the shack, looking at the sky above their heads, and Xu Shiyan told his son about the things he used to watch ginseng and hunt in the mountains.

Xu Haiyuan was fascinated by what he heard, and kept asking this and that.

The father and father babbled and didn't know when, so they went to sleep separately.

Xu Shiyan brought his son on the mountain, so naturally he didn't dare to be careless.

I got up several times at night to check the surrounding situation, and then added firewood to the fire to keep the fire alive overnight.

That night, apart from the movement of night owls, there were no other sounds of wild animals in the mountains, and no wolves or anything was heard at all.

In the summer in Northeast China, the morning is early, and the east side is bright at three o'clock.

Xu Shiyan couldn't sleep either, so he simply got up and lit a fire to boil water, and then started to lift the ginseng.

Two chapters combined into one. I have a fever and my whole body hurts, let's change these first.
