Chapter 397 Stick
After coming out of the forest farm, Hu Hongde took Ye Tian into the old forest, and the fallen leaves in late autumn were thickly spread all over the ground, and when they stepped on it, they made a "click" sound, which could be heard far away in the silent mountains and forests.
The forests in the northeast are completely different from the jungles of Maoshan, the towering trees and endless mountains are all things that Maoshan does not have, giving people a primitive and rugged feeling.
"Lao Hu, didn't you say that guns are banned? How can you still beat roe deer?" Walking on the road to Hu Hongde's residence, Ye Tian chatted casually with him.
"The gun ban is aimed at people in the city, who lives in Changbai Mountain, who doesn't have two shotguns? Can you stay here?"
Hu Hongde shook his head, and then said: "There are many roe deer in the mountains, and they are easy to fight, let's see if we can meet them tomorrow, I will let you taste the roe deer meat."
"Okay, it's good to meet a tiger."
Ye Tian didn't have any concept of protecting wild animals in his mind, he had been harming the animals on Maoshan since he was eight years old, and some small fox-like animals that could be seen everywhere on the outskirts of Maoshan were stunned by Ye Tian and were driven to the depths of Maoshan.
"There are not many tigers, there are a lot of foxes, but that thing is more cunning, and the fire fox skin on my body was still hit more than ten years ago."
Speaking of his fox skin shoulder, Hu Hongde looked proud, once a fur merchant saw it and offered 400,000 US dollars, but he was never willing to sell it.
The fire fox is a mysterious animal in nature, and few people see its panoramic view in person, and has always been considered the embodiment of mystery and eerieness.
Moreover, the fire fox has strong explosive power, can be activated in an instant, and can compete with the world's fastest running animal - the cheetah within a certain period of time.
Everyone around Changbai Mountain knew that there was a fire fox in the mountain, but no one had ever been able to hunt it.
Ye Tian said half-jokingly: "Lao Hu, you Sun and Moon Dao believe in the fox immortals, and if you beat them, no wonder you can't invite the fox immortals."
"What? I told you?" After Ye Tian said this, he saw Hu Hongde's face change immediately, and he was also stunned.
"You really told me."
Hu Hongde sighed and said: "Since I hit this fox, I can't use some simple techniques that I could use before, otherwise my wife wouldn't be ......."
After Hu Hongde saw this fire fox back then, he didn't think it had anything to do with his own magical powers to invite the Great Immortal, and he tried his best to kill the fox.
Although there was nothing to blame for the fox immortal later, the shallow technique he knew could no longer be used.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, it's better to hurry up and find the Returning Grass, I said Lao Hu, all the plants in this mountain have withered, can you still find the Returning Grass?" Seeing that he mentioned Hu Hongde's sad incident, Ye Tian quickly changed the subject.
"Yes, I remember to climb over the mountain in front of me, there are donkey splint vegetables growing in the woods next to the stream at the foot of the mountain, let's go dig and find out tomorrow morning."
Hu Hongde and Ye Tian are both people who have been walking on mountain roads for a long time, although they are talking, but their feet are not slow at all, and after more than half an hour, they have already entered and climbed halfway up the mountain, which is Hu Hongde's home.
Three wooden houses are arched in a triangle, with a small courtyard in the middle, and around the wooden houses, there is a row of fences with some small bells hanging on the fence, which are used to warn and drive away wild beasts.
"Wang...... Whoa!"
With a barking sound, an old dog with yellow fur jumped out of the fence in the yard, wagged its tail at Hu Hongde, and immediately stared at Ye Tian with its eyes.
Dogs' ability to foresee danger far exceeds that of humans, this old yellow dog has fought with leopards and wolves in the mountains and forests, so he immediately noticed the surging blood on Ye Tian's body.
Hu Hongde patted Huang Gou's head with his hand and said, "Rhubarb, this is our most honorable guest, be friendly!"
"Woo woo...... seemed to understand Hu Hongde's words, the big yellow dog let out a whimper from his mouth, sniffed it at Ye Tian's feet with his nose, turned around and ran away.
"Don't look at rhubarb as a leprosy dog, the wild wolves on this mountain can't bite it."
Hu Hongde smiled and pushed open the wooden fence, and said: "Ye Tian, come in, I'll pack some food, let's drink some more, and you will live in Xiaoxian's house when you come back."
These three wooden houses are the residences of Hu Hongde and his granddaughter, and the other is for storing debris, and sometimes passing hunters will stay in it.
"Cheng, is this place really primitive?"
Everything in front of him was very fresh to Ye Tian, and the wood of this wooden house was even connected to the shriveled bark, which was definitely the most original and primitive building.
Staying here, Ye Tian even had a feeling of returning to the primitive society, tens of thousands of years ago, his ancestors may have been like this, fighting against nature under the most simple conditions.
"The vitality is not weak, no wonder Hu Hongde can practice the kung fu of the outside family from the outside to the inside."
Ye Tian took a deep breath, although the vitality that was free between heaven and earth was not as thick as that of the courtyard, it was very pure, and the wisps overflowed into Ye Tian's body, and he immediately felt refreshed.
You must know that the heaven and earth qi is not only useful for cultivators, that is, ordinary people who stay in a place with pure vitality for a long time, and their bodies will be nourished without illness or disaster.
Hu Hongde, a person who is a practitioner himself, has lived here for a long time, and the internal injuries accumulated in his body due to the outer door kung fu have been subtly healed by these vitalities.
"Ye Tian, come and eat, it's getting late today, otherwise I'll go into the forest and beat you a few flying dragons to eat."
Hu Hongde's house was full of wild boar and some air-dried game, and after cooking and stir-frying a few dishes himself, he greeted Ye Tian to sit on the edge of the table.
The bonfire was lit in the room, drinking knives burning more than 60 degrees, listening to Hu Hongde tell stories about decades ago, and occasionally hearing the howl of wild wolves in the mountains in his ears, all of which could not be experienced in the city.
Ye Tian didn't use his strength to control the amount of alcohol, he drank drunkenly that night and slept very soundly, and got up early the next morning and pushed open the wooden door, the cool breeze blew on his face, and his spirit was lifted.
Hu Hongde was preparing in the yard, and when he saw Ye Tian coming out, he greeted: "Ye Tian, let's go, go early and come back early!"
"Lao Hu, why are you holding a ball of red rope?" After seeing Hu Hongde with a shotgun on his back, he stuffed a red rope into his backpack, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Hu Hongde smiled and said: "I will leave an old mallet in the mountains, and this time you will bring it to your uncle to replenish your body."
"Stick? What is this?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment.
"It's our name, it's ginseng." Hu Hongde looked regretful, "Alas, I sold a 300-year-old tree last year, and if I had known, I would have left it to my uncle, and there are fewer and fewer old ginseng on this mountain."
"Three hundred years of wild ginseng?" Ye Tian asked: "Lao Hu, how much did you sell it?"
Hu Hongde smacked his mouth and said: "Three million, it was collected by an old customer, I am embarrassed to raise the price."
"Three million?!"
Ye Tian didn't care that Hu Hongde was already in his sixties, so he almost scolded, "I said Lao Hu, aren't you a prodigal? A hundred-year-old ginseng can sell for seven or eight million, but you will sell three million for these three hundred years?!"
When Ye Tian gave Tang Xuexue a vein some time ago, Tang Wenyuan almost rounded up all the wild ginseng in the medicinal materials market in Hebei, spending tens of millions of yuan, and the century-old ginseng king alone cost nearly 10 million.
Hearing that Hu Hongde sold a 300-year-old ginseng for 3 million, Ye Tian said that he was distressed, you know, let alone hundreds of years of old ginseng now, even decades are rare.
"I also know that the price is low, but it's useless for me to ask for so much money, and the other party is an old customer, so I gave it to him, Ye Tian, do you want ginseng to be useful?"
Ye Tian in front of him was actually a generation higher than Hu Hongde, although he spoke rudely, Old Man Hu had no temper at all, who let Ye Tian's senior brother and his own old man be brothers who drank blood wine.
"Lao Hu, how fresh is your question, can the effect of ginseng be useless to people who practice martial arts?" Ye Tian said angrily.
"That's it, the mallet I left is also more than two hundred years old, you brought it to my uncle, and there are a few other plants that are more than fifty years old, if you can use them, I will pick them all!"
Experienced ginseng pickers will not pick ginseng when they see it, like Hu Hongde, often after encountering good ginseng, they will leave a mark next to it, and wait until it can be used to pick it.
"Okay, I'll show you when the time comes."
Ye Tian ate the human body in his stomach, at least one hundred and eighty plants, but he really hadn't seen the process of picking ginseng.
The two of them left the wooden house as they spoke, and the big yellow dog wagged its tail in front to lead the way, and quickly climbed over the top of the mountain.
The forest behind the mountain has become denser, and you can imagine walking through the birch forest that if this is replaced by a leafy summer, I am afraid that you will not see a trace of sunlight overhead.
"Ye Tian, slow down!" Just passed through a dense forest, Rhubarb suddenly stopped, and Ye Tian was also stopped by Hu Hongde behind him.
"What's wrong, is there a ginseng?"
Ye Tian was looking around all the way to find a ginseng, but this was not the season for ginseng to bloom, only the rhizome was buried deep in the ground, far from what Ye Tian could find.
Hu Hongde shook his head and said: "No, someone dug a trap in front of me."
Hu Hongde took a few steps forward, squatted down and put his hand in the dead leaf layer, and pulled hard, revealing a dark hole on the ground.
