Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 191 Northern Agarwood (1/2)

call!

Everyone suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and then they felt that their legs were weak, and waves of dizziness were felt in their heads. Several people sat on the ground involuntarily, breathing heavily.

Liu Qingshan ran towards Zhang Gangzi, and several people also ran over and pulled Zhang Gangzi up from the ground.

After checking, there seemed to be no injuries on his body, which was really lucky.

"Uncle Zhanzi, wake up, wake up."

Liu Qingshan shouted, and Zhang Zhangzi suddenly opened his eyes, looked around, then grinned and cried loudly:

No one laughed at him. Anyone else would have been frightened. If he could cry, it would prove that he was not completely frightened yet. He could just vent his anger.

"Master, why does this tiger feel weird?"

Liu Qingshan still couldn't help but ask the mute grandpa.

The mute grandfather smiled and gestured with him, and Liu Qingshan finally understood: This Siberian tiger, although its size is similar to that of an adult Siberian tiger, is actually still a tiger kid about two years old.

He must have just left the tigress and started living independently. The reason why he wandered here was to find his own territory.

It turns out to be a cerebellar axe!

No wonder he was so lively and lively, and not very harmful. He was just jumping around on Zhang Pangzi, which was quite insulting.

Seeing how big Zhang Gongzi was, before he could finish crying, Liu Qingshan and others began to persuade him again.

Zhang Gangzi sat on the ground, patting his thighs with both hands:

"It's over, it's over. The tiger won't eat me or bite me. Doesn't this mean that I have no humanity at all? What's the point of me still being alive..."

So this is what I’m crying about!

Zhang Luo was so angry that he really wanted to kick this guy a few times, but looking at Zhang Zangzi's bearish appearance, he really couldn't kick him off, so he could only curse angrily:

"Why didn't you let the tiger eat you just now?"

When Zhang Gangzi encountered a tiger, he was fine except for being a little frightened and a little red and swollen on his shoulders.

By the time we returned to Mukoleng for lunch at noon, this guy had completely recovered and was still sitting on the ground bragging:

"After all, I have practiced wrestling with Siberian tigers. Although I have never wrestled a tiger, it is still an honor to lose. Who among you has the courage?"

This incident is probably enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

Although he was not injured, it reminded everyone to be extra careful when picking wild vegetables.

Especially the dozen or so people in a group must not act alone to avoid accidents.

Liu Qingshan and Mute Grandpa also stepped up their inspections, but they didn't see the Siberian tiger again, and they didn't know where it went.

Everyone carried the wild vegetables they picked in the morning to the foot of the mountain and used horse-drawn carriages to pull them back to Jiapigou.

The old people who stay in the village will naturally be responsible for drying or pickling.

Lunch on the mountain is relatively simple, just boil a pot of wild vegetable soup and stick a few pots of large pancakes. In the mountains, it is considered good if you can eat it warm.

The main dish is the same: scrambled eggs with spinach sticks.

After all, traveling through mountains and rivers consumes a lot of food. Without meat, you can only eat some eggs to supplement it.

As for what the thorn cane is, it is actually a type of eleuthero. Clusters of young leaves have just grown out this month.

Pick them, blanch them in water, and use them in salads or scrambled eggs. They are very delicious, second only to the old thorn buds, and they are originally from the same family, belonging to the Araliaceae family.

The most delicious way to make it is to make stuffing for steamed stuffed buns or dumplings, chop some pork, and add green leaves of thorn stick. It is a perfect match.

But don't think about it in the mountains. It would be great if you could scramble eggs with a stick.

There was also the fragrance of freshly picked cucumbers, which were also served cold in two large pots.

Cucumber fragrant is the local common name, and the formal name should be "pod fern", also known as Cantonese cuisine.

The wild vegetables produced in the Northeast are called Cantonese vegetables. Isn’t it a bit strange? It is said that Cantonese people like to eat this kind of food the most, hence the name. I don’t know whether it is true or not.

But one thing is for sure, people on the island country also like to eat it, so the price is more expensive than ordinary bracken.

After the cucumber is slightly blanched, it is directly served cold. It tastes very fresh and tender, and it tastes like a light cucumber. This is where its name comes from.

"This thing is so expensive. Isn't it a bit wasteful for us to eat it?"

Villager Zhang Laoer kept mumbling while holding the cucumber scent in his mouth.

Hearing what he said, several aunts and ladies nearby nodded, and some of them echoed: "This food is worth money."

Zhang Gangzi heard this and retorted: "We worked so hard to pick such good things ourselves, why can't we eat them?"

Liu Qingshan also nodded: "Uncle Ganzi is right, everyone should eat without any psychological burden. In the past, when these things could not be sold at high prices, we still ate them."

These wild vegetables have very high nutritional value, just like thorn cane. Acanthopanax and ginseng are plants of the same family, and they both belong to the Araliaceae family. Are they nutritious?

Liu Qingshan is also planning to pick some back and ask his mother to make dumplings.

If you are reluctant to eat just for the sake of selling for two extra bucks, then you are putting the cart before the horse.

Money can be earned slowly, but if your body is broken, you will have no chance.

Everyone believed in Liu Qingshan the most. After hearing what he said, they naturally let go of their hearts and stomachs. They ate and drank a lot, including pancakes and vegetables, and finally ate them all.

After eating, taking a short rest, and replenishing water, each collection team continued to set off.

Grandpa Mute also took Liu Qingshan with him, and stepped up patrols. They drove away three wild boar families, drove away two black blind men, and frightened away a large lynx.

In these days, the wild animals in the mountains and forests are not yet extinct. As we walk, one or a group of them will suddenly appear.

Fortunately, there is a mute grandpa who is in charge. Otherwise, Liu Qingshan would probably have no choice but to be driven away by these wild animals. Why would he still want to expel them?

Walking in the mountains and forests, if you don't have any skills, you will be bullied.

Among them was a blind black man who played tricks with the mute grandpa and made a big tree shake.

As a result, the mute grandpa rushed up to him and threw him out with a big back. He was so frightened that he got up and ran away.

These are only the relatively large ones that can pose a threat to people. As for other small beasts, there are so many that they are too lazy to deal with.

Squirrels on the trees, hares in the grass, roe deer occasionally jumping up, birds flying in fright...

Liu Qingshan felt that the existence of these wild animals made this mountain forest more vibrant.

I have also been to some forest areas in later generations. Although the air is fresh and the vegetation is lush, I always feel that something is missing and a bit lifeless. In the final analysis, it is still because of the lack of these little creatures.

The big and small squirrels on the tree were not very afraid of people. When Liu Qingshan passed by, he saw the squirrel standing with two small front paws and looking at him with big eyes. It was so cute and indescribable. cute.

Looking at these cute little creatures, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile on his face. He couldn't help but feel childish and wanted to tease them.

So he suddenly yelled: "Hand over all the food you have!"

The squirrels on the tree were so startled that they ran around wildly. These little guys moved so fast that their eyes couldn't keep up.

Bang, Liu Qingshan was hit on the head by a pine cone. He didn’t know whether the squirrel threw it deliberately or dropped it while running around.

The mute grandfather looked at his apprentice with a loving smile in his eyes.

He really rarely saw Liu Qingshan show his naughty side. He looked like a teenager now.

Liu Qingshan also wanted to touch a few pine cones on the ground to fight back, but unexpectedly found a large antler lying under a big tree.

He didn't care about making trouble with the squirrel, and happily picked up the antlers and put them in front of his eyes to admire.

The antlers were heavy. They must have been newly taken off this year. The surface is very smooth. If the antlers are old, there will be traces of insect and ant infestations on the antlers.

Here, they call this kind of completely boned antlers "ganzhuzi".

Deer antler is called a branch, and sika deer antlers are called a flower branch.

This dry fork must have weighed several kilograms, and it was jagged with many forks.

The antlers of male sika deer initially branch into one branch each year, and usually grow to five or six branches, and then no longer divide into more branches.

Therefore, experienced people can basically determine the age of a sika deer by looking at the antlers.

These antlers are a very good decoration, and they are absolutely elegant when hung on the wall, but if they are alone, they are a bit nondescript.

Liu Qingshan then continued to search nearby, hoping to find another horn.

He heard his master say: When sika deer lose their horns in spring, they usually find a big tree with branches, like the one in front of him, with two big branches branching out from the root.

Then the sika deer will stretch its antlers into the middle of the tree branches, pull them apart hard, and with a crisp sound, the antlers on top of its head will fall off.

This process may be a little painful, but if the old doesn't go away and the new doesn't come, this is what they have to endure.

Antlers are the defensive weapons of sika deer. During the period when the old antlers have faded and new antlers have not grown back, their self-protection ability is greatly reduced, and this is also the most dangerous period for the deer herd.

Therefore, generally, sika deer will choose a relatively quiet and safe place to shed their horns, and they will shed their horns here every year.

Occasionally, someone is lucky enough to find such a place, and then he can harvest a lot of twigs and make a small fortune.

Because deer antlers are not only used for decoration, they are also used as medicinal materials. Although not as valuable as deer antlers, local product companies also collect dried twigs.

The biggest function is to boil the traditional Chinese medicine deer antler glue, which is a good medicine for replenishing qi and blood.

Liu Qingshan searched around for a while, and his hard work paid off. He actually found another antler on the branch of a big tree.

Because it is mixed with tree branches, you really can't find it unless you look carefully.

When they were put together as a pair, the length and bifurcation were very symmetrical, so they were definitely born from a sika deer.

Of course, Liu Qingshan was grinning from ear to ear. Whether it was for home decoration or as a gift, he could get it.

Seeing the dry twigs, he couldn't help but think of deer antlers. He wondered if the male deer in the group of sika deer that often went to his house to eat and drink could honestly be asked to cut their velvets.

Thinking of this, he made some gestures with his master, but the mute grandfather smiled and shook his head, as he meant: the time has not come yet.

Even if you catch a few by force and cut off the antlers, they will probably never go there again, and you will lose the opportunity forever.

Liu Qingshan was very clear about this, and he was determined not to waste all his previous efforts for the sake of immediate benefits. It seemed that he would not be able to cut deer antlers this year.

But when the mute grandpa saw Liu Qingshan holding a pair of dry forks, he beamed with joy and made a gesture to him.

Liu Qingshan's eyes were immediately full of surprise: "Master, do you think this thing is worth it on the mountain?"

The mute grandpa smiled and nodded.

"Master, let's go now and bring back a few more!"

Liu Qingshan was overjoyed, but after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and said embarrassedly: "Let's wait until the harvest season is over before we go."

There are Siberian tigers in the forests here. Although they didn't hurt anyone, who can guess the thoughts of wild animals?

What if they are in a bad mood one day and really bite a few people?

The mute grandfather also nodded with relief, thinking that this disciple can still distinguish the importance of things.

So the father and son continued to patrol, Liu Qingshan carried a dry branch on each shoulder, and hummed a ballad in his mouth:

"The king sent me to patrol the mountains, I will go around the mountains and forests..."

Following the master, walking in the mountains and forests, Liu Qingshan's whole body and mind seemed to become younger.

He really enjoyed this feeling and this kind of life.

Just as he was happily following his master through the forest, he suddenly tripped and fell flat on his face, with his two big antlers thrown out. wWw.7

Liu Qingshan got up from the ground, patted the pine needles and leaves on his body, couldn't help but touch his nose, and muttered:

"Let me see if there is really a senior brother teasing me, a little goblin patrolling the mountain, and deliberately tripping me up, monkey head, do you have the guts to come out?"

The senior brother or something, of course, does not exist. The mute grandfather stretched out his hand and gently pulled on the ground, and pulled out a rotten wood.

It was a branch from this wood that tripped Liu Qingshan.

The wood was also carried on the shoulder of the mute grandfather, and it seemed that he was going to take it back to the wooden house.

Liu Qingshan felt a little strange: the most abundant thing in the mountains is wood for burning, is it worth carrying it all the way back?

The dumb grandfather probably saw what his apprentice was thinking, so he gestured to him:

This kind of wood is called Songming, which may have been buried for thousands of years. It is rich in oil and is most suitable for being used as a torch.

Songming?

Liu Qingshan blinked and felt that the name sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Suddenly, a light bulb flashed in his mind: "Songming, isn't that northern agarwood!"

In his previous life, Liu Qingshan had a bracelet made of northern agarwood, which was amber in color and crystal clear.

When playing with it, it will emit a faint pine scent, refreshing the heart.

The reason why it is called northern agarwood is just to get some light from agarwood. The real name should be "amber wood", and its value is certainly incomparable to agarwood.

As for the name of the local people, it is more straightforward, just like what the dumb grandfather gestured just now, simple and clear, called "Songmingzi".

As the name suggests, it is because it is rich in pine resin and easy to burn, which is most suitable for making torches for lighting or burning.

March, early spring.

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.

The city is in ruins, everything is withered, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is now no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remains, which is indistinguishable and shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage is stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.

The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure is lying.

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
