Before five o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen brought a jug of sweet wine and a few catties of air-dried beef, and rowed alone into the mountains.

There are few morning stars, the waning moon is slanting in the sky, the autumn wind is rustling, and the withered grass on the bank of the stream is rustling. Owl cries occasionally come from the dark woods in the distance, which makes people palpitate.

Fortunately, the white fish belly in the east has already appeared faintly. With the speed of my own boating, it will be completely bright when I reach the boating bay an hour later.

Recently, the hunting battlefield has moved to the farther mountains, and the beasts that could pose a threat to Ye Congwen have been attracted. After all, carnivores also live by hunting animals in a sense, but they are not humans!

So this section of the road is theoretically quite safe. After Ye Congwen ate the two-color ginseng, his overall strength has changed significantly, his explosive power is stronger, and his endurance is more durable than ever. He swung his oars with all his strength and went against the current, often for four or five hours without any fatigue.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Congwen had arrived in front of a treasure mountain surrounded by mountains and water. It was more than a thousand meters high. The mountain was lush with ancient trees, but the mountain was relatively steep. Fortunately, there were few beasts on such a steep mountain. Infested, it saves the effort to worry about your own safety.

Ye Congwen carried a small basket on his back, carrying a small hoe, an iron measuring stick, and an iron skewer, and walked up the mountain. The main purpose of coming here today is to find out where there may be precious medicines, mark them, and wait for tomorrow to dig.

Digging for treasure medicine is a laborious and time-consuming job. You have to use an iron skewer to dig a hole to detect how deep the soil below is, and whether there is enough space for the treasure medicine to grow. It is impossible to grow two feet long in one foot thick soil. Herbs come.

Once the soil thickness reaches the standard, the nutrient level contained in the soil must be measured with a ruler. It is naturally difficult to grow high-quality ginseng in poor soil.

Ye Congwen followed the theoretical knowledge from the burial scriptures combined with the old patriarch's years of digging experience, and closely focused on the eight-character scripture of "moisturize but not luster, cut fat and cut jade" to determine whether there is any soil in a piece of soil.

The kind of fierce and poor soil that is "dry like millet and wet like flesh" does not bother to waste time.

If these two conditions are met, Ye Congwen will use a hoe to dig a deep trench in the place where he judges that the most likely treasure medicine exists. If he is lucky, he may find two-color soil, and he can dig out two-color ginseng by following the vines. .

If you don’t have this luck, I’m sorry, the amount of work will be huge, and you have to dig the whole piece of land like plowing a field. Sometimes Ye Congwen also wonders whether to get a pioneering ox to plow it a few times , I would happily follow behind to pick up the precious medicine, it would be great...

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, I had to leave by boat, and I had to reach the boat bay before dark, otherwise my life would be in danger.

Excluding the time spent going up and down the mountain, the real time left for him to find medicine is only five hours. Ye Congwen ate a few catties of beef jerky and drank half a jug of sweet wine. He quickly searched for nine pieces of treasure soil, marked them, and inserted them with wooden sticks tied with red strings. After trotting all the way back to the boat, he took up his sculls and ran back quickly.

After repeated attempts like this three or four times, it was not until the seventh day that I dug up a pair of two-color ginseng, which was still a pair of two-color ginseng with arms as thick as five catties.

But what is infuriating is that this two-color ginseng does not have much effect on the body. At first, I thought it was because the portion was too small, and the effect was not obvious. The next day, I cut two catties and mixed it with snow chicken and stewed a pot of soup. After eating it, it still didn't have much effect, and I couldn't realize my wish to break the stone.

"Could it be that my body has adapted to the domineering power of the two-color ginseng? And my physique has evolved to the limit that the two-color ginseng can improve?

From this point of view, next time we should focus on finding the three-color ginseng! "

On the other hand, the cheap wooden bean sprouts, who had only drank it eight or nine times, became radiant and her skin was crystal clear. Before sweeping away, her skin was dull and yellow, and her spirit was listless. Even the food intake has increased greatly, and the weight has returned to its previous state in just a few days.

"Could it be that this two-color ginseng is a panacea for men to become stronger and women for beauty?"

Ye Congwen was puzzled. However, it is not without benefits. Since the disease of the pigeon sprouts has been cured, the food intake has increased greatly, and even when sleeping, it no longer grinds its teeth.

He was so kind to Ye Congwen that he threw himself into the ground, stewing soup and cooking vegetables in different ways, doing laundry and sweeping the floor, and being there whenever he was called, giving Ye Congwen a full-on addiction.

In the next half month, Ye Congwen, apart from going to the county town with the crowd to sell his prey, was still all about finding the three-color ginseng.

Finally, one day, I found several three-color soils on a treasure mountain one hundred and fifty miles away from home, and it is very likely that there are three-color ginseng growing in them!

However, the Nine Pieces of Treasure Soil covers an extremely wide area, and Ye Congwen was afraid that he would regret it if he dug up the soil and let some gophers get there first. In addition, the time was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that the time would not allow it, so I picked some wild fruits at random and rowed to the house.

This time there was no delay, and it was not even dark when I returned to the entrance of the village, but the place where I moored the boat was occupied by a colorful boat. I was wondering what kind of strange guest came to Tieta Village, but I heard the crowd shouting loudly road:

"Old patriarch, Xiao Congwen is back!"

The sound was like a bell, shaking people inside the canopy to come out one after another.

The tall and burly old patriarch rushed out first, followed by a group of men in black strong suits, all of them burly backs, watching wolves with eagle eyes, and guarding a woman in a herringbone shape.

The woman's shoulders were slashed, her waist was slender, and her tall figure made Ye Congwen feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He was extremely surprised and said:

"The masked monster finally came to the door, but why are you so close to Wood Bean Sprout, like a girlfriend for many years?"

Before she had time to think about it, the tall slender woman turned her head to look at herself, her fair oval face was slightly pale, her hair was casually tied in a bun, her shawl hair was hanging lazily around her waist, her pure white forehead could be broken by blows, and her simple and elegant clothes It seems approachable, but the expression is arrogant and indifferent, which makes people daunting.

No makeup, no makeup, no floor-length skirts, no high-heeled shoes, but it is in stark contrast with the well-dressed wooden bean sprouts beside her.

"What are you doing standing there, Xiao Congwen, come over and say hello!"

Ye Wudi was in a good mood, drank a few barrels of rice wine on the boat, and chatted very speculatively with this girl.

"Patriarch Ye, aren't you sincerely embarrassing me? The grace of saving life can be recreated. If others know about it, they will think that I, Yu Yueyue, have no tutor at all."

A frown and a smile make people feel like a spring breeze, and walked up to Ye Congwen with a smile like a flower, and said softly:

"Brother Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Congwen thinks that this woman hides a knife in her smile. She must be holding back nothing good. Some time ago, she couldn’t wake up from a high fever and couldn’t forget to kill me. Now that she’s alive, she’s changed her sex?

Have you ever seen a big bad wolf make friends with cattle and sheep?

"I've heard people say that you've been seriously ill and it's windy outside. If you're not in good health, don't go out for a stroll. What if the rhino horn elephant chases you and tramples on you?"

Ye Congwen boarded the two-three-meter-high boat with a short run-up, pretending to be concerned about his health, and patted the mud on Yu Yueyue's fragrant shoulders by the way.

The movement was so fast that even the dozen or so guards didn't have time to react.

Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's black hands constantly wiping her new clothes, and felt that she used my clothes as a rag! Subconsciously took a step back, and when he mentioned rhinoceros again, his smile became less natural.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu, and my name is Yueyue. I am happy and happy. Brother Ye, everyone calls you Congwen. Is your full name Ye Congwen?"

"Don't be so polite, I'm a wild boy, just call me Ye Congwen. Don't call me "Brother, Brother, Brother, Brother, I'm still young, I'm only fifteen years old this year, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be your big brother. By the way." , my sister is in her twenties this year?"

Playing crazy and acting stupid! This black boy definitely did it on purpose! Yu Yueyue cursed secretly in her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that you saved my life, third uncle would have dealt with you a long time ago!

"Brother Congwen, how can you ask such a question?"

Mu Bean Sprout came wearing a snow-white long dress, took Ye Congwen's arm and gently reprimanded:

"Sister Yueyue is only eighteen years old this year, not as old as you think."

"Eighteen is still young, let the children in our village be able to walk! The elders are respected, and the etiquette of ordering generations is still required."

Ye Congwen made a long bow to Yu Yueyue, and said politely:

"Yu big sister, welcome to Iron Tower Village. I don't know why your old man has come all the way to find me?"

"Xiao Congwen, don't mess around, Xiao Yu followed her third uncle to Tieta Village to buy wild game!"

Ye Wudi was talking with a middle-aged man with a long beard. Seeing that Ye Congwen was slapping the girl with black hands, he was really rude, too careless, and reprimanded him:

"I'm going to criticize you, it's always been a good tradition in Iron Tower Village to do good deeds without leaving your name, how can you keep your name for fame?

He also told Xiao Yu that if he wanted to repay, I would bring food, oil and high-grade rice wine to Iron Tower Village to find you.

Go and wash your black hands, and put away the habit of hooking shoulders and arms between you brothers and sisters, don't scare the distinguished guests! "

Ye Congwen's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he looked at Yu Yueyue in disbelief, thinking that this woman is really not a kind person, when did I say that? As soon as I came up, I probably planned to splash dirty water on me and ruin my image.

"Brother Congwen, I really didn't say this on purpose. If I had known that your family education is so strict, it would bring you down and be punished. I wouldn't say these words even if I was beaten to death. You wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Ye Congwen looked at the innocent young girl in front of him, and was about to explain a few words, but heard the woman complain quietly:

"You tore my skirt and threw me into the stinky ditch, didn't I care about it! People say wrong things and do wrong things sometimes! Don't you think so?"
