Chapter 821: The place where the mountain warriors dream of reaching

The biggest advantage of the vast land and sparsely populated area is that you can't see anyone for a long time. Even though there are a lot of hairs here in the Sikhote Mountains, they are still sparse.

For Lu Lu and others, as long as they cross the river, the sky is huge. With the ingots on their guard, they can avoid the villages and farms that can be seen from a distance, and they can have a smooth journey along the way. Unobstructed.

During the day, they did not stop. They drove for most of the day and did not stop until they entered the deep mountains and forests.

They found a place with leeward wind. They ate some pancakes, got some logs, covered them with oilcloth, and stuffed them with some pine needles that could be found everywhere. Lu Lu let the others rest first while he took the slingshot. , just hanging around.

They themselves had filled their stomachs with dry food, but the dogs were still hungry, so they had to feed them some small animals.

As expected of a protected area, the vegetation in the mountains is surprisingly good.

The trees are lush and swaying in the wind. The afternoon sunlight penetrates through the gaps and scatters in the forest, neither strong nor weak.

There are many mountains and mountains, intertwined river valleys, endless flowing water, and a wide variety of animal species. Probably because of this, this place has become an extremely important breeding habitat for Big Paws.

Lu Lu quickly caught two jumping cats and two pheasants in the forest. After simply skinning them and cutting the meat to feed a few dogs, he saw that nothing was going on and climbed up the hillside.

After reaching the top of the mountain, he looked around and immediately spotted a few sunny places. After observing the mountain scenery, he judged that there were places where sticks were growing.

Looking at the seemingly endless mountains and fields in front of him, Lu Lu was filled with emotion.

The unique medicinal effects of Bangchui are sought after by the world, which naturally arouses huge demand, thus starting a predatory collection mode of wild ginseng.

As far as Lu Lu knew, in the Han Dynasty, the southern limit of wild ginseng distribution was at the southern end of Wangwu Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Mount Tai.By the Ming Dynasty, the distribution of wild ginseng had retreated to the Yanshan Mountains, and by the Qing Dynasty, the Yanshan Bangchui had completely disappeared.

It is constantly moving north.

That is to say, Changbai Mountain was regarded as the dragon's vein by the Qing Dynasty, and it was recuperated for more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty.

After that, the expedition to Guandong began, and the harvest was even more crazy. As a result, Bangchui was listed in the Red Book as a rare plant in 92. By 2005, it was withdrawn from the pharmacopoeia and was already on the verge of extinction.

Right now, the most abundant place for wild ginseng on the entire planet is the Sikhot Mountains in the Maozi coastal area.

As a key nature reserve, it is inaccessible and rarely disturbed by human activities.

Controlled by turns of continental monsoons and warm oceanic air masses, the Sihot Mountains have abundant rainfall and lush vegetation. The dense virgin forests provide natural protection for the growth of Bangchui, making it the area with the richest reserves.

This is also a place that people who put mountains in their dreams dream of reaching.

However, it is the biggest regret that such a treasured Feng Shui land is now in the hands of Mao Zi!

Looking at this vast mountainous area, Lu Lu only had one thought in his mind. No matter what, in the next two or three years, he would search for the big stuff in this place.

After feeding several dogs, Lu Lu went back to the camp to take a look. Several people were sleeping deeply in the tents. He wanted to sleep too, but he also knew that he couldn't be careless in the slightest.

Afraid that he would fall asleep if he sat down and leaned against a tree trunk, Lu Lu simply took out his pickaxe, found something to do for himself, and rummaged around.

The leaves of the linden tree and the needles of the pine trees covered the ground in a thick layer. When you step on it, you will feel a dent of two or three centimeters, as if you were stepping on a soft quilt.

He peeled away pine needles and yellow leaves, revealing a thick layer of humus underneath.

This is a fertile soil layer than the Greater Khingan Mountains.Looking at the trees, light and water vapor, Lu Lu suddenly felt that the mountain view was not suitable in such a place, because most of the places he looked at were suitable places for sticks to grow.

Therefore, even if he was due south, he still felt that it was very possible to find Bang Chui.

The tip of the rope bends the grass blades and spreads the branches. With this movement, the copper coins tied to the top make a crisp sound.

In this way, Lu Lu's mood gradually became peaceful, and he enjoyed this feeling.

A few puppies followed him, sniffing here and there, and looking up from time to time, just like they would look for a stick.

After wandering around for more than an hour without finding anything, Lu Lu, who felt a little weak in his legs and feet, fell down on the golden pine needles. He rubbed his eyes that had become sore after not closing them for a long time with both hands. There seemed to be a red shadow flickering in the corner of his eye. .

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked over there. He tilted his head and looked through the gap in the bushes in front. Just five or six meters away, next to another bush, there was a group of red hammers. It was so pleasant.

There really is... it is indeed heaven!

Lu Lu stood up with great joy and walked towards the stick. He counted the branches and saw that they were six-grade leaves!

Big deal!A good start!

And just around the stick, Lu Lu didn't even have to search deliberately. On the gentle slope, at a glance, he could see about thirty sticks, not counting the useless three flowers, slaps, and even Erjiazi. They all look down upon it.

With such abundant resources, of course we should choose the big ones.

He rubbed Yuan Bao's head happily, immediately took out a quick tool, fixed the stalk of the mallet, peeled off the dead pine needles and leaves on the soil layer, took the deer bone skewer, and began to search carefully down the stalk of the mallet. Roots.

These layers of soil were very soft, and it was very easy to fiddle with the soil. In just over ten minutes, the Liupinye tree was lifted out.

In this way, he suddenly regained his energy, and he was kneeling on the ground. As soon as evening came, he carried out a total of 23 seedlings with sticks and sticks on the lampstand and above.

He didn't peel off the bark, but just found some moss, wrapped the sticks one by one, and then tied them together with red rope.

The sticks are not that fragile and can be simply wrapped. The reason why the buns are not sealed is to make them easier to bag and carry.

After the work was done, he kneaded the stick stalks that had been cut off to prevent them from being slurry and threw them into the earth pit. He backfilled the earth pit and covered the earth pit with some broken pine needles and leaves to cover up the plowing work. Traces of digging.He didn't want these marks to become obvious factors for others to notice him.Returning to the oil paper tent, Lu Lu took a kettle and drank some water, then took out a pancake and chewed it slowly.

Several dogs also climbed down next to them.

He hadn't slept a wink for two days and one night, and he didn't want to wake up a few people so quickly to put him on duty.

Due to lack of sleep, interruptions, and being on duty for two or three hours, it was a bit difficult to fall asleep again. He felt that he could carry on for a while longer.

They waited until around ten o'clock in the evening. Zhao Yongke woke up, got out of the tent, and saw Lu Lu still sitting next to him. He said with some embarrassment: "I slept so hard this night, why didn't you wake me up?" One sound!"

"What are you doing? We are all tired and sleepy. We haven't slept a wink from yesterday to this afternoon. We have also walked dozens of miles. It would be better to have a full sleep at once!"

"Go to bed quickly, I'll keep watch next!"

"Don't overwhelm my hunting bag. In the afternoon, I carried some mallets and put them in it!"

"What...you've already reached the mallet?"

"While you were sleeping in the afternoon, you walked around the area!"

After Lu Lu finished speaking, he didn't show any politeness to him. He got into the tent and lay down. Almost as soon as he lay down and closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Shaofeng and others each held ropes and sticks and fiddled with them among the surrounding trees.

Hearing the sound of Lu Lu hitting the oil paper when he got out of the tent, Zhang Shaofeng raised his head and looked over, and said to Liang Kangbo and the others: "Lao Wu is awake!"

Several people gathered around.

"Lao Wu, why did you get so many sticks at once? We took a look today and there are some big ones!"

After a good sleep, Zhang Shaofeng was full of energy. Hearing Zhao Yongke talk about Lu Lu carrying the mallet, he became more and more excited: "Where did you lift it? It's like a magic trick."

Lu Lu smiled and pursed his lips, pointing in the direction of lifting the mallet: "I saw one over there. The largest one is a six-grade leaf, there are thirty or forty trees, but I didn't lift the small Erjiazi, and I don't plan to lift it. There are abundant resources here, so we don’t want to waste too much time, so let’s find more big ones.”

He didn't think his words were very arrogant. In fact, Erjiazi's stick was really not that big. Even if he got it from the district purchasing station, it would only cost three to five yuan.

"Of course, when you encounter Erjiazi, you still have to look at the reeds, just in case it's a big deal!" Lu Lu emphasized again, in order to prevent some large items that went dormant or were damaged and re-sprouted into Erjiazi from being missed. .

"We saw these mallets this morning. Why do we feel they are a little different from the mallets we have over there?" Liang Kangbo still noticed the difference.

Seeing him ask, Lu Lu then pulled aside the surface grass blades and grabbed a handful of humus soil below: "The soil here is brown forest soil or gray loam soil under the coniferous and broad mixed forest, which is better than that in Changbai Mountain. The humus layer is much thicker and there is not so much weathered gravel, so the living conditions are much better.

Therefore, the mallet on the Maozi side has a large cap, forming a coir, and the main skin is white and tender; it has more along the body, a slightly thicker skin, less luster and more streaks; due to sufficient nutrition, the whiskers are short, thin and numerous, unlike The one we have over there doesn’t look so wild, but more like a garden ginseng;

Also, the mallet here mainly absorbs nutrients through the whiskers, so the pearl points are sparse and not obvious, and the traces of the pearl points will be smaller after drying.

In addition, don't look big at it. In fact, the taproot is very light and some of it will float when soaked in water.

In short, it seems that the appearance is not spiritual enough and the wild charm is inferior.There will be a lot of discounts on the collection value, but there is not much difference in medicinal value compared with Changbai Mountain. "

In other words, it is not as valuable as Changbai Mountain ginseng. Of course, there is a lot of appreciation and enjoyment involved, but some places can still produce the best quality.

Despite this, Lu Lu also knew that in later generations, the harvesting of wild sticks here was also prohibited, but some people still collected them secretly and sold them to other places through channels, and the price was not cheap. When it reached a certain age, per gram There is still a price of three hundred dollars, and after all calculation, it is still very valuable.

Lu Lu's plan is very simple. Some of them will be sold by Wei Chunan and others, and some will be directly cleaned and dried for storage. As for the small ones, they will be transplanted into the understory ginseng garden planned for next year. I don't know what will happen after changing the location. What kind of sparks are produced by the collision.

"In addition, the Yalu River originates from the Changbai Mountains. Although there is only a river between us next door and ours, there are some wild ginseng in several mountain ranges, but the production is not large.

Because the growing terrain is steeper than ours, mainly gray sandy soil, and the soil is relatively dry, so most of the sticks there have short whiskers, short bodies, dark brown skin, and look old yellow after drying, making them easy to identify. The characteristics are similar to those in Changbai Mountain. "

By the way, he explained in detail the differences between the sticks in the three places.

Zhang Shaofeng and others have also seen a lot of sticks. After Lu Lu explained the sticks on the spot, it was easy to distinguish them.

In fact, the three mallets are all the same bell, but they perform differently due to differences in soil and environment.

While he was talking, Yuan Bao suddenly let out a fierce cry.

"Someone... collect your things quickly, let's go!"

Not wanting to be discovered, he decided to go deeper into the mountains.

Several people folded the oil paper used to keep out the rain, spread out the pine needles for sleeping, packed their things and followed Lu Lu up the mountain.

Halfway up, he could see below, four men holding guns and leading their dogs on the guard trail at the edge of the forest, talking and laughing along the way.

As a strictly managed protected area, there is a dedicated patrol team.

Seeing that they were bringing hunting dogs, Lu Lu felt that if there was trouble in this mountain, it would most likely be these people.

People leading dogs... need to be careful!
