Chapter 96 Get ready
Zhang Hao agreed with a smile and bowed his hand in return.
"Don't worry, old man."
Liang Jianzhong lifted the front of his Tang suit and walked down the steps with Zhou Ran's support. He looked at his grandchildren and said with a smile: "Xiaochao, Qianqian, let's go."
"Oh, okay, grandpa." The two agreed.
Zhou Ran put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Let's go too."
The town leaders didn't wait too long. They simply raised their hands to signal Zhang Hao and quickly followed the large army.
After watching the group of people leave and gradually disappear into the village path, Zhang Hao groped his chin and looked at the dirt road in the village and the conditions Liang Jianzhong promised him.
"The price for a "Wandering Ginseng" plant is 1 million, plus repairing the roads in the village. Maybe the price is already high in their opinion, right? But how do they know that this "Wandering Ginseng" is really not worth it? It’s easy to get, even if the price increases ten times or a hundred times, it’s useless if you can’t find it.”
Thinking like this, Zhang Hao put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked into the small courtyard. Looking at Xiaobai who was staggering towards him, he hugged him in his arms and teased him while joking: "Xiaobai Ah, open your eyes quickly, whether I can make this big money and whether the roads in the village can be paved with asphalt all depends on you."
"Wangwangwang, ow~"
I don’t know if Xiaobai really understood or was hungry. He pawed at his little paws and opened his immature mouth, revealing his milk teeth that were not sharp.
……
There are many potholes and some narrow dirt roads in the village.
"Chairman Liang, do you really believe what Zhang Hao said about "walking wild ginseng"?" Zhou Ran thought for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked.
Liang Jianzhong paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward on crutches: "Mayor Zhou, do you think this person may be a liar?"
Zhou Ran neither nodded nor shook his head: "It's just that what he said is too mysterious. I have never heard that this wild ginseng can run away, and it is also called a wild ginseng with no leaves."
Liang Qian heard this and interjected: "Fifth-grade wild ginseng? Isn't wild ginseng divided into fourth-grade leaves and sixth-grade leaves? How can there be fifth-grade leaves? Isn't this person really a liar?"
Liang Jianzhong shook his head helplessly: "Qianqian, this gradeless leaf is not the fifth grade leaf of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but means no leaf."
"Oh~" Liang Qian suddenly realized, and then asked: "What else did the man named Zhang Hao say? Grandpa."
Liang Jianzhong was silent for a moment: "He said that the medicinal material grandpa was looking for has become extinct and will never be found again in this world. However, he did tell me about an alternative medicinal material, which is this wild ginseng. Also called "Zoushan Ginseng"
"'Walking wild ginseng?'" Liang Chao became interested, looked over at his grandfather, and joked: "Grandpa, can the walking wild ginseng he talked about still run? Running all over the mountains and plains, like a human being?"
Liang Jianzhong pointed with his finger: "You kid, are you trying to say that you are a liar and deceiving Grandpa You?"
Liang Chao put his hands on the back of his head and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it? How could ginseng run around in the mountains like a human or an animal? If there really is such a ginseng, it wouldn't be called ginseng. It’s called Ginseng Essence. If there was such a thing, there would be a lot of people vying for it, not to mention hundreds of millions.”
"Yes." Liang Jianzhong felt that it made sense and nodded: "You are indeed right, but it doesn't matter. It would be best if he could find nature. Even if he is deceiving us, it is just a waste of a few days. , just think of me taking you to experience village life.”
Liang Chao turned away and did not answer his grandfather's words. Instead, he looked at his sister.
Seeing the confusion on his sister's face, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong, sister? Is it possible that you have fallen in love with the man named Zhang Hao?"
"I see that you have been curious about this Zhang Hao along the way. You were asking questions. Just now that Zhang Hao came out to see grandpa off, your eyes were opened..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt his ears being pulled up by a strong force.
Liang Qian squinted her eyes and sneered: "I advise you to take care of your mouth."
Liang Chao quickly begged for mercy with a painful expression.
Liang Qian let go of her hand and said as if muttering to herself: "I was just thinking, why can the murderer point at him and call him a monster? Zhang Hao looks pretty good, why? He’s just an ordinary person, so he can’t get along with monsters.”
After everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Liang Qian, or frowned slightly, or smiled helplessly, or didn't care.
Liang Chao rubbed his ears and bared his teeth and said, "Who knows? Wasn't the murderer already frightened? What's the point of caring about a fool's words? Besides, maybe the guy named Zhang Hao is really a monster!"
"Think about it, the one who opened the door for us must be his wife. His wife is too beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful woman. Maybe, that is what a fox has become, that Zhang Hao is also a fox... Well, look, this is right." Liang Chao seemed to have forgotten the pain just now and grinned.
Liang Jianzhong reprimanded: "Xiao Chao, don't be rude."
Liang Qian also rolled her eyes at him.
Liang Chao felt aggrieved immediately. He didn't mean to curse, he just thought Li Siyu was beautiful. He heard his sister talk about foxes, so he couldn't help but make an association and said it smoothly.
Liang Jianzhong ignored the grandchildren, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
After the call was connected, he just said in an understatement: "Send people out to the villages at the foot of a hundred mountains or in the mountains to collect some soil from the stone monument at the entrance of the village. If there is no stone monument, look for the stone at the entrance of the village. Note. You need the soil of a hundred villages, don’t repeat it, do you understand?” After hearing the affirmative answer from the other party on the phone, he put the phone back.
"Grandpa, what do you want all this soil for?" Liang Qian became interested again and asked.
Zhou Ran, who was holding his hands behind his back, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It was Zhang Hao who asked your grandfather to prepare it. He said he wanted hundreds of soil to catch those 'walking wild ginseng'."
"Uncle Zhou, do you believe it?" Liang Chao came forward and asked with a smile.
Zhou Ran was stunned, just smiled and did not answer the question.
"So what if you believe it, so what if you don't believe it. Since he has made a request, I will just satisfy him. If he really lied to me, there is no so-called 'walking wild ginseng', or this 'walking wild ginseng' is useless. Then let's give it up and find other ways." Liang Jianzhong leaned on his crutch and looked at the mountain road behind the village.
He turned back again, his eyes full of despair.
Doesn't he know that Zhang Hao's rhetoric and his demeanor really make him look like a charlatan?
Doesn't he know that the so-called "walking wild ginseng" and the so-called "hundred family soil" look like tricks used by quacks to deceive people?
He knows.
But he also knew that after living for such a long time, he would rather believe that there really were such weird things in this world, and he would rather believe that what Zhang Hao said was true.
Because, only if it is true, can he survive, solve his hidden physical illness, and continue to live like a normal person.
So, does it really matter whether you believe it or not?
It doesn't matter, as long as Zhang Hao can really find the 'Wandering Wild Ginseng' and the 'Wandering Wild Ginseng' can really cure his disease, then it will be worth it.
"Mayor Zhou, look, should we go back first, or should you investigate again?" Liang Jianzhong smiled and looked at Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran immediately understood: "Chairman Liang, let's go back today and continue our inspection tomorrow. How about that?"
Liang Jianzhong nodded: "Of course that's the best. I'll just listen to you, Mayor Zhou."
Liang Chao, Liang Qian, two bodyguards, and a group of town leaders then headed towards the entrance of the village.
Not long after, after getting into the car, two Maybachs, together with two Hongqi cars, walked through the bumpy dirt road, which made the already severely damaged chassis even worse.
……
the next day.
Zhang Hao lazed and walked out of the room leisurely. He looked at the clean courtyard, breathed in the fresh air, listened to the sound of Li Siyu cooking in the kitchen, and Xiaobai was cooking in the kitchen. The way they are scattered in the courtyard.
He casually found a place to sit down, opened the [Illustrated Record of Traveling in the Mountains], found the chapter that recorded 'Mountain Ginseng', and read it carefully.
Since yesterday, after Liang Jianzhong and Zhou Ran left, he has been reading some records about 'Zoushan Ginseng'.
He didn't understand it before, but now that he understands it, he is more and more determined to find this 'walking mountain ginseng'.
It's not just for the so-called one million, but also to build roads for the village. But 'Zoushan Ginseng' can also play a role in Li Siyu's disease. Although it cannot be used to cure it, it can help Li Siyu strengthen her body, recover better, and help her survive for a few more years, so that she can find it easier. A rare mountain treasure that is more suitable for her condition.
Moreover, the rhizomes and details of the 'Zoushan Ginseng' are a panacea for Xiaobai, and are of great help to the growth of [Mountain Calling Dog].
Liang Jianzhong needs the 'Mountain Ginseng' as a medicine guide. In fact, it doesn't take much. One main ginseng plant is enough. When the time comes, he will tell him that those roots are his own. Then he can find other valuable medicinal materials in the mountains. By boiling medicine for Li Siyu and drinking it together, her body will surely be able to condition better and last longer.
Now that he had made up his mind, Zhang Hao naturally had to make preparations in advance and be sure to be foolproof the next time he walked in the mountains, in case he got lucky and encountered the 'Mountain Ginseng', but could only watch helplessly due to lack of preparation. situation.
"The rope in the mountain, the ashes in the village, the mud in the river, the soil in hundreds of villages, and the yin and yang candle..." Zhang Hao muttered while looking at the contents recorded in the ancient books.
The mountain rope is the red rope in the mountains. Since ancient times, there has been a saying among mountain walkers that when you encounter ginseng, if the year is short and there are less than four leaves, you should tie a red rope to avoid the ginseng running away next year, so this is The mountain rope is a red rope from the mountain, used to tie ginseng.
The village ash is taken from the kang ashes of every household in the village at the foot of the mountain. It must also be the old ashes accumulated over the years, preferably the kind that has not been cleaned for several years. Take a little from each family, choose the best one, and blend it together. .
Mud in the river is easy to understand. It is naturally the silt in the small river in the village. However, this silt is not just silt dug out casually. It must be old silt that has accumulated for hundreds or even hundreds of years. Like this Unfortunately, people have drowned in the river, and that's the best thing.
The soil of one hundred villages, also known as the soil of one hundred families, is the soil under the stone monuments of one hundred villages.
It is not difficult for Zhang Hao to get these things. With his current position in the village, it is easy to get some kangtou ashes and mountain ropes.
There is no need for him to touch the mud in the river himself.
But this Yin Yang candle... is really difficult to handle.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a while. After a long time, he sighed silently and murmured: "Forget it, let's prepare other things first, this Yin Yang Candle... Let's talk about it. Anyway, there is still some time before walking up the mountain."< br>
