Chapter 34: Going up the mountain to collect ginseng

 Three days later, when Lin Ze was packing his luggage and preparing to follow Li Keli to the south to deliver goods, Zhong Cheng suddenly came to him.

"Brother Lin, this time I was completely kicked out by my uncle. I'm desperate now. You can't leave me alone!"

"Support (because) for what? Why, after we left, Gao made things difficult for your family again?"

"Hey, you don't know that old bastard Gao Qi has been reported and is currently under investigation. He is no longer the village chief."

"Then why did your uncle kick you out, and why are you doing something so irreverent?"

Seeing Lin Ze asking about this, Zhong Cheng started to squirm and was forced to ask more questions. Then he whispered: "I made a widow from their village pregnant."

"What? You are not old, but you are very courageous! Then you have to be responsible and marry someone else!"

Seeing Zhong Cheng's indifferent expression, Lin Ze was furious: "No wonder you were kicked out. You are a disaster. I don't welcome you here either. Go back to where you came from!"

As he said that, he pushed him out of the door.

Zhong Cheng held on to the doorframe and didn't let go: "Brother, brother! Don't be like this, have you forgotten how I helped you when you were penniless at the station?"

"How dare you mention that time at the station? That time at the station was blackmailed because you wanted to do that kind of thing. If you hadn't met me, you would have been doomed! Who can help whom? You are so thick-skinned!"

"Then you later went to Gaojiatun and fought with Gao Qi's family, which made me suffer. You can't deny this."

"You are so shameless! You can tell me what you want!"

"I have nowhere to go now, you have to find a job for me!"

"You have hands and feet. If you want to find a job, go out and find it yourself. I have no job for you!"

"Quickly pull him down, you don't want to care about me! I have heard that there are people in your yamen called Dayangshutun who were fighting, and they let you go with just one sentence. You are now famous in Shanyan!



Lin Ze was completely shocked: "Who made this rumor? Where did it come from? It doesn't matter! How can I be so capable and let him go? That's because they paid all the money they should pay.

, all reconciled."

"Anyway, I'm sure of you. If you don't care about me, I'll live here and eat and drink your food. It's up to you!"

"Don't cause trouble for me, I will go to the south tomorrow."

"Then I will follow you to the south!"

Zhong Cheng pretended to be a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and he followed Lin Ze.

Li Keli shook his head when he saw it: "Xiao Lin, I don't think it's okay for you to be like this. We are going to do serious things, not sightseeing. So, you don't want to go this time."

Lin Ze had everything ready, and he just had to follow Li Keli to see the bigger world, but who knew that a piece of dog-skin plaster would stick to his body halfway, and not only could he not shake it off, but it would also make him unable to leave.

He was so angry that he really wanted to slap him.

He had no choice but to get rid of Zhong Cheng's plaster first and help him find a job.

Seeing that he was frowning, Lao Wainneck gave him a trick: "I know an old leader. They are going to Fangshan (go to the mountains to collect ginseng) recently (during this period). They don't have enough manpower. Ask me to help them."

Where’s the coder? If it doesn’t work, why don’t you let this kid try? This job is hard work, but if you do it, you can really make money!”

Lin Ze's words moved Lin Ze's heart: "What kind of person does the boss need? Do you think I can do it? This guy Zhong Cheng interfered with my trip to the south to deliver ginseng. I have to think of something else."

What a way to make money."

"The old boss said that I know a little bit about it. Their unscrupulous and crooked requests to join the gang cannot be refused."

Lin Ze didn't believe it: "What kind of talk is this? Do you need experience to let the mountain go? Can crooked people be allowed in?"

"Don't you understand this? Ginseng is a goblin. Every time you join a gang to release the mountain, you have to worship the mountain god. That's a lot of stress! The process of releasing the mountain must also be done quietly. You are not allowed to shout, otherwise you will be killed.

The ginseng was scared away. You said that if there is a malicious person who wants to join the gang and you don't let him follow, he will do something bad, let alone dig the ginseng. Something might happen on the mountain, and his life will be involved!"

When the old man said this with a crooked neck, Lin Ze suddenly realized: "So that's what happened! Digging ginseng is quite dangerous!"

"That's not the case! However, this guy I know has been fucking forty years, and he has plenty of experience! If you really want to do it, just follow him. He has never come down from the mountain empty-handed!"

Lin Ze felt confident and went back to tell Zhong Cheng about the matter.

Zhong Cheng was a little reluctant: "There are Siberian tigers on the mountain. Isn't it a bit too dangerous?"

"People also say that flying is dangerous. It is not something that ordinary people can get on. People like you will never have the chance to fly in this life!"

"You can lie down at home. It's safest if you don't starve to death anyway! I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and have to walk for two months."

Listening to Lin Ze's tone, knowing that he was determined to leave, Zhong Cheng had no choice but to agree:

"Okay, okay, then you have to take me to eat skewers tonight."

……

The old man who took Lin Ze and Zhong Cheng into the mountains was named Wang Yuanbao. He was sixty-two years old this year, but he looked like a middle-aged man who had just turned fifty. He walked quickly and his ears were very sharp. Hearing Zhong Cheng

He and Lin Ze laughed at him for being a hunchback, and turned back to glare at them.

Wang Yuanbao has taken many apprentices during his forty years in Fangshan. This time, six of their ten-person team were his apprentices for at least two years.

"Brother Lin, you said that with so many people releasing mountains together, does the blind tiger, bear and blind man also have to take a detour?"

Zhong Cheng was most concerned about his own life and kept mumbling along the way. Lin Ze agreed with "Yeah" at first, but then he got really annoyed and said, "The mountain is so big, even tigers and bears can't do it."

Just one person, and they will join forces to rob him."

Not only Zhong Cheng heard this, but Wang Yuanbao also heard it. He slammed the Solo stick in his hand on the ground and turned back angrily and scolded: "You two bastards, why don't you understand the rules so well? You can just joke and joke casually.

Yeah, young people today are so outrageous!"

Seeing that his master was angry, Lin Ze quickly apologized. After repeatedly promising not to talk nonsense again, Wang Yuanbao calmed down his anger slightly.

"When I worship the mountain god later, I will shut up your bad mouths. You are not allowed to be arrogant in front of the mountain god! Later, I will let the head teacher teach you two the rules. Especially when you are on the mountain, you must not be messy.

Speak, do you hear me?"

The two agreed obediently, neither of them daring to smile playfully anymore.

After a while, the ten-person ginseng picking team arrived in front of a low mountain temple built with adobe.
