The temperature in Changbai Mountain is very low at night. Yan Shouyi is the body of a Tiansha corpse puppet, so he doesn't feel anything yet. But Li Genmiao is different. Without the protection of a thick warm down jacket, he might freeze to death in the mountains.
And in this environment, how could there be a little kid wearing a bellyband, playing with bare feet and buttocks in the dark mountains?
Yan Shouyi's first instinct was that this little kid was a monster.
The second reaction is more accurate - ginseng doll!
It is said that after thousands of years of ginseng cultivation, it will turn into a ginseng doll with a peach head and a red bellyband. The ginseng doll is very timid and will get scared and crawl into the ground when it encounters any disturbance. You cannot catch it with your hands.
, it can only be tied with a red rope to prevent it from slipping away.
The most indispensable thing in the Changbai Mountains is ginseng. Yan Shouyi also knew before that many people under the Changbai Mountains lived by picking wild ginseng.
These ginseng pickers respect nature and abide by the laws of nature. When they encounter ginseng, they will always tie red strings on the stems and leaves of the ginseng and wait until the next day to pick it again.
If the ginseng is missing, it means that the destiny is not related to this ginseng. If the ginseng is still there, it means that the mountain god allowed the picking of this ginseng.
When picking, you should first ring the bell three times to thank the mountain god for the gift, then dig out bit by bit, and even use a small brush to gently brush off the black soil covering the ginseng, trying to keep the ginseng as intact as possible.
When the harvest is successful, the ginseng seeds must be replanted so that the ginseng plant can continue to reproduce and future generations can harvest ginseng.
These are all digressions.
The little baby in front of them was obviously made from thousand-year-old ginseng. Yan Shouyi and the others happened to come across it playing in the mountains.
Yan Shouyi also saw the ginseng doll for the first time and felt very curious, so he hid behind the grass and observed carefully.
Li Genmiao on the side said in a low voice: "Ginseng doll is a rare encounter. If we catch it, Han San's condition should be able to recover quickly."
The medicinal value of thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely high. If Lao Jin takes action, the medicinal effect can be doubled several times.
What Li Genmiao said was right, and Yan Shouyi was also a little moved.
He took out a piece of red rope from his bag and looped it through. After comparing the size, he found that it should be just right to cover the ginseng doll.
"You want to catch it?" Li Genmiao asked.
Yan Shouyi asked: "Isn't it a rare encounter as you said?"
Hearing this, Li Genmiao folded her hands around her chest, looking like she was watching a good show.
Yan Shouyi ignored Li Genmiao, tiptoed out of the grass, and came carefully behind the ginseng doll.
The ginseng doll was sitting on the ground playing with the bugs, having a great time playing with it. The little tweezers on its head were moving left and right, and they didn't even notice an uninvited guest coming behind them.
After walking behind the ginseng doll and confirming that he could trap the little guy, Yan Shouyi took a deep breath and slowly approached with the red rope.
But at this moment, Li Genmiao suddenly shouted "Hey", which startled Yan Shouyi.
When he came to his senses, the ginseng doll in front of him had disappeared, leaving only a small hole on the ground.
This little guy moves so fast!
Yan Shouyi was surprised. He didn't notice the ginseng doll's movement at all, and it just disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then he looked at Li Genmiao angrily and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
Li Genmiao smiled and said: "It's good if I can save Han San's life. Do you really think I will watch you save him?"
Yan Shouyi was speechless. After spending this day with Li Genmiao, he had actually forgotten their hostile relationship.
This guy acted mischievously at a critical moment, causing Yan Shouyi to suffer a loss, which made him feel quite unhappy.
After collecting the red rope, he walked forward without looking back and said: "Continue going up the mountain, don't waste time."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I've ruined a good thing for you, why are you still angry?" Li Genmiao tutted, "You and your dad have ruined so many good things for me. Have you heard me complain about anything?"
In fact, Yan Shouyi was not particularly angry. After all, it is good to see a treasure like a ginseng doll once in a lifetime. There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it.
Besides, if Yan Shouyi really caught such a cute ginseng doll, he wouldn't know what to do with it.
After all, from the outside, the ginseng doll is no different from a human cub. Eating it is like eating a baby, which makes you feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Yan Shouyi walking further and further away, Li Genmiao unconsciously smiled proudly, and then followed him.
Soon, something bad happened.
The sky was originally clear and full of stars, but after the two of them crossed the Changbai Waterfall, the weather suddenly changed and it actually started to snow heavily.
The wind and snow not only shortened the visual distance, but also buried the original mountain road. Even the magnetic field of the compass Yan Shou carried on his body began to become disordered, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south.
In short, the two of them were lost.
Getting lost in such an environment is not a good thing.
Li Genmiao wiped the snow off her shoulders, tugged on her scarf, and said in a deep voice: "We can't continue, we must find a place to take shelter first."
The deflated Yan Shouyi joked: "If I leave you alone, won't you freeze to death in the mountains?"
"If I die, Liu Yiren will not survive," Li Genmiao replied, "You know what I am capable of, and you will pay a heavier price after I die."
Yan Shouyi was silent for a while, of course he knew that Li Genmiao could not die yet.
The best situation is that after the two of them went down the mountain, Yan Shouyi found a way to contact Longhu Mountain, and at the same time the people from Wushen Mountain arrived and took care of Li Genmiao and others.
He silently took out the golden Fuyan Sanyuan from his satchel, and sent Zhu Shanzao, and they went out to find shelter together.
It didn't take long for the reward to come. Sanyuan found a small cave not far ahead, which was perfect for shelter from the snow.
"Let's go, you won't die tonight." Yan Shouyi said regretfully.
Li Genmiao looked at Sanyuan: "This little guy... has a lot of background."
"Sanyuan's body is the Golden Goose, from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, you should know."
"Well, I know, so I'm not referring to the Golden Goose, but the 'three yuan' you mentioned."
Yan Shouyi did not continue to explain and seemed to be on guard against Li Genmiao.
Braving the wind and snow, the two found the cave under Sanyuan's guidance. They also picked up some dead branches along the way, and lit a bonfire after arriving at the cave.
Li Genmiao sat by the bonfire, rubbing her hands constantly and blowing white mist from her mouth.
Yan Shouyi stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the wind and snow outside: "The snow and wind fell so suddenly, is it my mother's formation?"
"In my opinion, no." Li Genmiao smiled.
"As an opera singer, you know more about formations than me?" Yan Shouyi questioned.
Li Genmiao replied: "I am more studious, isn't Li Chongxi the same?"
