Chapter 21: A blessing in disguise
Chapter 21 A blessing in disguise
There is a cliff in front, and there is a crazy black bear behind. Xu Shiyan is really going to despair.
When I looked up, I found a big pine tree growing beside Shilazi.
The trunk is very thick and leans slightly towards the stone lazier. The lower branches are more than two meters high from the ground, thicker than an adult's arm.
Xu Shiyan took a deep breath, used all his strength to jump forward, then leaped forward, grabbed the branches of the pine tree with both hands, and hung himself on the edge of the cliff.
The **** bear behind him didn't know Xu Shiyan's intentions, and was running fast to catch up.
As a result, the **** bear had no time to brake, and rushed directly to the bottom of the cliff.
Xu Shiyan was hanging from the tree when he heard a thud, which was the sound of a heavy object falling.
Looking down, it turns out that about ten meters away from the cliff, there is a protruding platform, which seems to be about the size of two basketball courts.
The black bear was running fast and with great momentum, and it was falling on the edge of the platform at this moment. I don't know if he died or not.
At this time, Xu Shiyan was not in the mood to care about the life and death of the black bear, he had to get down from the tree quickly.
Hanging on this can't last long, and if he falls, he can't compare to the black blind man with rough skin and thick flesh.
Xu Shiyan exchanged his hands and moved to the root of the branch bit by bit. The bark of the pine tree is rough and has tiny thorns.
I couldn't take care of it at the moment, gritted my teeth and struggled a lot, and finally moved to the root of the tree when I was about to lose my hold.
Slipping down from the tree, Xu Shiyan sat directly on the ground and gasped for breath. After the catastrophe, he felt pain all over his body at this moment.
Sitting under the tree for a while, Xu Shiyan didn't hear any movement underneath, so Xu Shiyan stood up staggeringly, and stretched his head to look under the tree.
The black blind man lay on the ground, seemingly motionless. Is this dead? If he really died, would he still be able to earn bear bile?
Xu Shiyan thought about it, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Heixiazi is quite tenacious, so it's better to be careful.
Besides, the platform is about ten meters away from the top. He has nothing now, so it is not easy to go down.
Xu Shiyan thought about it for a while, got up and wobbled back, he had to find all the lost things.
There is a rope in the backpack, it must not be long enough, I have to get some rattan or something to run it down. How can I do without tools?
Xu Shiyan ran all the way, and he didn't know where he came from. Fortunately, the blind man was injured, and there was blood all the way.
Xu Shiyan walked back along the bloodstains and found his backpack, ax and other things, so he followed the bloodstains and returned again.
There are jujube vines and grape vines on the road, and they made a lot of bundles and dragged them.
Go back to the side of the stone lazi, weave the vines together, tie them together with the rope, tie one end to the big pine tree, and run the other end under the lazi.
The black blind man at the bottom still didn't move, and didn't make any movement. Xu Shiyan had an ax pinned to his waist and a backpack on his back, and slowly went down while holding onto the vines.
The tree vine and the rope were still too short to reach the platform. Fortunately, there was not much distance, so Xu Shiyan let go of his hands and jumped down.
Withdrawing the ax from his waist, he approached the black bear carefully step by step, only to find that there was a big pool of blood under the black bear.
The black bear was injured in the first place, and the impact of the fall from above was not small. The injury worsened, and it should be dead.
Xu Shiyan was still worried, so he found another branch and poked it, but it didn't move, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward with the ax in his hand.
A **** bear weighing more than three hundred catties lay on the ground, and Xu Shiyan turned it over after a lot of effort.
The black bear turned over and found that part of the internal organs flowed out from the wound. Fortunately, the bear bile was protected by the liver, but it was not broken.
Xu Shiyan came to the mountain to release the mountain. According to the rules left by the elders, hunting is not allowed in the mountain.
After thinking about it, he simply cut off a piece of the shirt on his body with a knife, wrapped the bear bile, and put it in his back pocket.
Fresh bear bile cannot be dried directly, it needs to be dipped in boiling water several times and dried. But the household items for boiling water are all in the basement, so it seems that we have to go back to the basement first.
Xu Shiyan glanced at the dead body of the black blind man. This big guy is too heavy, he has to climb up, and he can't carry so much.
Gritting his teeth, he chopped off the bear's paw, and shaved some flesh from the bear's body, and put these on first,
The temperature is lower by the river, and the black bear's body may not be broken if left overnight. If not, go back tomorrow to find someone, and come again.
With great effort, he stuffed the meat and bear's paw into his back pocket.
Xu Shiyan picked up his bag and turned around to walk in the direction of the vines. As a result, he just stood up and was attracted by the red dots not far away.
What's that? Not a mallet? No, it's impossible. There are more than a dozen or twenty flowers in this area, so it must be a mistake.
Xu Shiyan thought in his heart, but couldn't help walking over.
Going closer and taking a closer look, Xu Shiyan almost knelt down on the spot.
On this platform, there are no less than twenty ginseng trees, each with bright red ginseng seeds.
Especially the one in the middle, the ginseng seeds on it are about the size of a small baby's fist, the red skin is shiny, and each one is full.
Looking down the ginseng seeds, the purple-black stalks are almost as thick as chopsticks and about two feet high.
Further down, you can see six palm-shaped compound leaves, green and fluttering in the wind, as if beckoning to someone.
Six leaves, still such a thick stem, such a large ginseng seed, there must be a big one underneath.
Xu Shiyan jumped up happily, and shouted loudly, "Fuck, sticks, a lot of sticks."
If there are many human parameters, the first five leaves are called slices, and the first six leaves are called heaps.
This is a pile in front of me. Looking at it roughly, there are only six leaves and there are two trees, and the others have five leaves and four leaves.
Now, who cares about the black blind man, he threw the backpack on the ground, quickly pulled out the mallet lock from the inside, and locked the biggest one directly.
Locked the ginseng, but Xu Shiyan was not in a hurry to do it, but sat down and thought about things without moving.
He met the black blind man within two hours of entering the forest in the morning, and it was already noon after running all the way.
There are so many large and small ginsengs on this platform, we can't dig them all up, but even if we pick the big ones, we can probably take four or five ginseng away.
It is very likely that a large cargo will have to be lifted for a day or two, that is to say, he will have to be on it for several days.
Come on, don’t think about it, hurry back to the basement and move all the things over here, he’s been eating and living on this platform for the past few days, don’t move his nest, just take everything he can take away.
Xu Shiyan made up his mind, put down his backpack immediately, and climbed up again with only his axe.
Then return to Diguan along the original road, pack up the things inside, and take them all away.
