Zhang Eryong did not rest very well. Although he slept in the cave, he was always worried about the outside, fearing that wild animals would suddenly attack her. He basically didn't sleep much all night, and just listened to the movement outside until dawn. I only squinted for a short nap in the middle of the day, and I didn't sleep for a long time. When I woke up, my eye circles were still dark!
For breakfast, there were baked bread and snake soup. The cake was brought by Shen Ruolan. The meat of the snake soup was caught by Zhang Eryong yesterday. He baked some for dinner last night, and she cooked the rest of the soup.
The fragrant snake soup, together with the soft golden bread, is delicious.
While eating, Zhang Eryong secretly admired Shen Ruolan, Lan'er is really good at everything, I don't know how she put this cake, it looks like it just came out of the pan, it's soft and soft, not at all like the usual ones Dry food is so dry and hard to bite.
After breakfast and tidying up, the two of them continued on their way to Longtou Peak. After walking under the sun for a whole morning, they finally arrived at the foot of Longtou Peak.
The majestic and majestic Longtou Peak, with cliffs and cliffs, soars into the clouds. From a distance, it looks like a dragon's head raised high, looking at all living beings in the world.
Shen Ruolan narrowed her eyes and looked up against the glare of the sun, feeling like she was about to overturn herself, but she couldn't see the top of the mountain. She opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "Brother Eryong, how long did it take to reach the top of Longtou Peak?"
Zhang Eryong said: "According to my speed, it will take a day."
Nima, his speed is still one day away, so her speed is still two days away!
Shen Ruolan took a deep breath, bent down, and tied her trousers tighter, and then took the first step up the mountain with Zhang Eryong.
Climbing a mountain is not like walking on flat ground, the process is very tiring, Shen Ruolan not only has to endure the test of physical fitness, but also has to keep an eye on the six directions, for fear that she will miss the ginseng flower and ghost grass in vain if she makes a mistake.
Zhang Eryong said that he seemed to be the ghost grass and ginseng flowers he had seen on Longtou Peak, but he forgot where they were, so she could only look for them one by one, inch by inch. However, Longtou Peak is so big, It's so high, trying to find a few small grasses on this endless peak is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Although I keep complaining in my heart, I still have to look for it patiently and carefully. If such a rare medicinal material is as easy to find as Chinese cabbage, it is not a rare medicinal material!
When it was dark, they climbed to a cave halfway up the mountain, and Zhang Eryong took her into that cave to rest.
He used to come to this cave often, and it was much bigger than the cave yesterday. The entrance of the cave was two meters high. After entering, Zhang Eryong laid down his bedding ten steps away from the entrance of the cave, and planned to sleep there.
Shen Ruolan put up the tent a dozen steps further in.
Although it sounds absurd to set up a tent in the cave, but Shen Ruolan has to do it? Otherwise, how would she take out her quilt to sleep and wash her hands
Zhang Eryong didn't know what Shen Ruolan was thinking, he thought that Shen Ruolan was too embarrassed to sleep with him in the cave, and when he saw her pitching a tent, he went to help her, so he recognized her idea!
After the tent was set up, it was still early in the morning, Shen Ruolan got curious, took out a fire pocket, and started to size up the big cave.
If you don't see it, you don't know it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
With the faint light of the fire fold, she suddenly saw many white bird's nests on the stone wall.
"Brother Er Yong, come and see, there are bird's nests!" Shen Ruolan shouted.
Zhang Eryong followed her finger, saw the white thing, and said strangely: "What do you think it is?"
"Bird's Nest, don't you even know this?"
Zhang Eryong scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't know this!
From childhood to adulthood, no one taught him that this is a bird's nest, and no one told him that this thing is very precious, so every time he stays here, he only regards some white things as the same as the stones in the cave Ordinary things, I didn't expect them to be very valuable at all.
"Hurry up, pick them up quickly, we will get rich, with these bird's nests, your family can build a house, buy land, buy cows and horses.
Shen Ruolan walked towards the stone wall while talking.
Zhang Eryong called her to stop, and said with a smile: "Let's pick it when we come back, anyway, we can't run away, otherwise it will be a hindrance if we pick it up and carry it up the mountain, if we put it here, if wild beasts come in and ruin this bird's nest, wouldn't it be a pity? "
As soon as Shen Ruolan heard that it made sense, she gave up the idea of picking now, and went around the cave with a fire bag. After finding nothing good, she went back to the tent to sleep.
This night I slept much more quietly than last night. In the cave, I could not hear insects and birds, nor the howling of wild animals, only the sound of Er Yong and his own breathing. This night, both of them slept well. !
After dinner the next day, the two of them went up the mountain again, following the route that Zhang Eryong used to go up to Longtou Peak. If you follow the route, there is hope to find it. The two searched very carefully, one looked to the left and the other looked to the right, and they considered almost all the flowers and plants within their sight range. When it was almost noon, the two reached the peak. However, they did not find what they were looking for.
Shen Ruolan stood on the top of the peak and looked around. The south of Longtou Peak was the direction they came from. There were low hills and dense forests. I just don't know where to find the ginseng flowers and ghost grass she wants in this mountain.
While feeling melancholy, Zhang Eryong suddenly said loudly: "Lan Er, look quickly!"
Shen Ruolan was startled, and quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Eryong pointed to the bottom and said, "Do you think that is ginseng flower?"
When Shen Ruolan heard this, she ran over happily, but when she saw the direction of Zhang Eryong's finger, the smile instantly froze on her face.
What Zhang Eryong is referring to is a clump of small red flowers growing on the cliff, which looks very similar to ginseng flowers from a distance, but it is too far away to see clearly, and it is not sure whether it is ginseng flowers
Shen Ruolan looked at the suspected ginseng flower on the cliff with regret, and said, "It grows in that place, and there is no way for us to pick it."
Unless you have wings, how can you go down this steep cliff!
Zhang Eryong threw down the luggage roll on his back, put down Shen Ruolan's pannier, and said excitedly, "Ginseng flowers are not easy to touch, and it is easy to touch them, so we can't let them go away!" He took out the hemp rope he had prepared in advance, and went down the cliff to compare After measuring it, I found that the rope was not long enough, so I untied the rope that tied the luggage roll and tied it.
After the rope was knotted, it was finally long enough. Zhang Eryong tied one end of the rope to a big tree closest to the cliff, tied the other end to his waist, and prepared to go down to pick ginseng flowers.
Shen Ruolan said, "Brother Eryong, how about I go down!"
Although there is a rope to protect her, she is not afraid of 10,000, just in case. There is no reason for her mother to be sick, so let someone else go to work for her mother! Zhang Eryong refused without thinking: "No, this cliff is too dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will be smashed to pieces. I don't trust you to go down, so let me come."
"But..." "No but!" Zhang Eryong interrupted her, forced a smile: "Lan'er, Brother Eryong has no other skills, that's all it takes, so don't stop me..."
Shen Ruolan was a little sad when he heard what he said, and hurriedly said: "Brother Eryong, look at what you said, what do you mean? You are very useful. Since we met, I have no doubts about how much you have helped me." Remember it!"
Zhang Eryong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then let me help you one more time, I'll go down first." After speaking, disregarding Shen Ruolan's advice, he slid down the rope slowly.
"Brother Eryong, be careful."
Shen Ruolan was lying on the edge of the cliff, looking at the gradually sliding figure, her heart sank, and she kept praying, hoping that he was fine and could pick the ginseng flowers safely!
After sliding down to about five meters, Zhang Eryong got to the front of the clump of small flowers. Zhang Eryong pulled out the small pickaxe stuck in his waist, and dug carefully.
The ginseng flower looks very similar to the Panax notoginseng flower, almost exactly the same. If you don’t dig out the rhizome underneath, you will not know whether it is a ginseng flower or not.
After a few picks went down, Zhang Eryong raised his head excitedly, and shouted at Shen Ruolan who was lying on the edge of the cliff, "Lan'er, it's ginseng, it's ginseng!"
