Chapter 441. Taking my mother to Lingnan(1/2)
This ginseng seedling has no leaves, so it grows out of the ground alone, and on the top, there are only two ginseng seeds left.
In the Northeast, there is a legend about the stick bird. In the legend, there was a pair of lovers who seemed to have experienced some kind of love disaster. Then they both died and turned into a pair of birds after death.
This small bird feeds exclusively on ginseng seeds.
Therefore, as long as a mountain ranger hears the cry of this bird, he can look for ginseng by looking for the cry of the stick bird.
In his last life, Zhao Jun deliberately searched the Internet and saw that someone had taken two pictures of birds, so he said they were so-called stick birds.
Among the information found from major search engines, there are only a few general introductions and legendary love stories, but no specific data, body shape, or appearance of this bird.
Therefore, legends are just legends.
In the words of the elders, there is no such thing as a stick bird, but there is a stick bird.
"Bangchui Xiao'er", which later changed into a sound, may have been mistaken for "Bangchui Bird" by others.
Bangchui children are the collective name for the birds or small animals that eat ginseng seeds. After eating the ginseng seeds, the ginseng seeds are not digested in their bellies and will be excreted from the body together with their feces. They will take root on the ground and grow sticks.

At this time, there were only two ginseng seeds left on the leafless Bangchui seedling in front of Zhao Jun. The remaining ginseng seeds may have been eaten by Bangchui's children, or scattered in the surrounding soil.
And its leaves should have been damaged by wind, rain, or trampled by birds and animals, and no longer exist.
How can such a stick be called a mountain without leaves?
It's very simple, just say better.
Hearing Zhao Jun's answer that it was a sixth-grade leaf, Jie Chen reacted quickly, and then asked: "How many seedlings?"
"It's all over the mountain!" After Zhao Jun shouted this, the wind suddenly started blowing on the hillside. Zhao Jun looked up and saw that although there were leaves blocking the sky, he could feel that the sky was getting dark.
It's almost 12 noon at this time, and it can't be dark.
Zhao Jun judged that it was going to rain, so he asked Xie Chen to go back to the car with the wrapped stick buns, and asked Zhang Yuanmin to remove the moss and chop the bark, while he stayed where he was and carried the ginseng himself.
When Zhang Yuanmin removed the moss and chopped a piece of pine bark and came back, he saw that Zhao Jun had broken through the soil around the ginseng, exposing the ginseng in general. Now he was only cleaning the soil wrapped around the ginseng whiskers.
This is a delicate job and cannot be distracted. Zhao Jun is also concentrating on the operation, but he uses both hands at the same time. With his right hand, he uses a deer antler spoon to dig up the soil, and with his left index finger, he gently lifts up the ginseng tendrils at a very fast speed.
But even so, Zhao Jun was still busy for more than half an hour. Because this ginseng seedling is not small, it may be that before the leaves fall off, it is really a sixth-grade seedling.
When Zhao Jun was busy working to the end, raindrops were already falling from the sky, pattering on the branches and leaves above his head.
The rain was not heavy at this time, and few raindrops could penetrate the dense branches and leaves to fall, but Zhao Jun also felt a slight chill on his face and his spirits were shaken.
Boom...
When the thunder roared, Zhao Jun finally placed the ginseng on the moss. Zhang Yuanmin rolled up the pine bark outside the moss and put it in his shoulder bag. The two hurriedly rushed to the car.
By this time, it was raining heavily, and the water was flowing down their foreheads, making it difficult to open their eyes. Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin walked forward with their heads slightly lowered.
As he walked, he saw a person coming towards him. Zhao Jun wiped his arm in front of his eyes, and then shouted: "What are you doing here?"
The visitor was Jie Chen, and he responded: "Seeing that you are not coming back either, I'm a little worried!"
After saying that, Jie Chen turned around and went back.
The three of them walked quickly, one in front and two behind.
"Pa!" The ground was muddy and slippery in the rain. Zhang Yuanmin's foot slipped and he fell down. He slipped down the slope and lay directly on the ground.
But the moment he fell to the ground, Zhang Yuanmin used his hands to protect his shoulder bag, which contained the big mallet.
Zhao Jun hurriedly stepped forward, put his hands through Zhang Yuanmin's left and right armpits, and pulled him up.
Jie Chen looked back and saw that Zhang Yuanmin had already gotten up, so he did not turn around and just walked forward quickly.
Finally descending the hillside, the car was parked on the side of the road. At this time, Jie Chen had already gotten into the car. Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin ran to the front of the car and squeezed into the passenger seat.
Jie Chen started the car, turned on the lights, and shook the wipers. Seeing that the rain was lessening, he drove all the way to Yong'an.
When he returned to Yong'an Village, it was almost two o'clock. Jie Chen sent Zhang Yuanmin home first. When he got off the car, Zhang Yuanmin handed the ginseng buns in his pocket to Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun told him: "Brother
, go back and drink some hot water to avoid catching a cold."
"Hey, okay." Zhang Yuanmin responded, pushed the car door and got out of the car. At this time, the three of them were all wet, so Zhang Yuanmin didn't leave them alone.
When Zhao Jun and his ministers arrived home, Zhao Jun went down to the cellar first and placed five ginseng buns. Then when Zhao Jun entered the house, Wang Meilan handed him a washbasin and a thermos.
Zhao Jun entered the west room, took off his wet clothes, and the minister used hot water to wipe his body, and then put on clean clothes.
After cleaning up, Wang Meilan also boiled the large pot, simmered the eggplant shreds, and made a pot of hot noodle soup.
Zhao Jun and his ministers sat on the kang, gulping down soup and noodles until they were sweating all over, which drove away the moisture and coldness in their bodies.
While the two were eating, Wang Meilan sat aside and chatted with them. When she heard that instead of hunting fragrant deer today, she was holding a stick with five seedlings, Wang Meilan said nothing except being happy.
Bangchui also has to be sold in Lingnan, so I have decided to go to Lingnan this time. The key is when to go.
After eating the hot noodle soup, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen went back to the west room to catch up on their sleep. When they woke up, the rain had passed and the sky was clear.
Zhao Jun got up from the kang and stood by the window looking out. He suddenly turned around and walked to the door, opened the door and strode out.
"Black tiger!" Zhao Jun came out of the house, pointed at the black tiger and shouted.
Black Tiger, who had just caught a small toad, was so frightened by Zhao Jun's sudden roar that he loosened his mouth and the toad in his mouth fell to the ground.
Zhao Jun went over and kicked aside the toad that was bitten by the black tiger.
These days, after heavy rains, there are toads in the yard. But this month, there are bugs in the toads' stomachs. Some bugs can be digested by toads, but if dogs eat them, they are not safe.

"I'm so greedy all day..." Zhao Jun pointed at the black tiger again. Before he could finish speaking, the black tiger turned around and ran into the den.
In the evening, Zhao Jun's family was still stewing meat. The few lean meat on Xiong Xiong's body was put in the big pot by Wang Meilan.
Let it cook until chopsticks can pierce it, take it out and cut it into small pieces, and cook it like braised pork.
When the bear meat comes out of the pot, add some cabbage and fungus, and the Zhao Jun family will have a complete dinner today.
It happened that Zhao Youcai came back and entered the house as soon as the food was served, but he brought the news that Niu Guoliang was picked to death by a wild boar.
Poor Niu Guoliang, when he arrived at the forest farm infirmary, there was no need for rescue.
No matter what age it is, death is a big deal.
Soon, a crowd of people gathered outside the infirmary, and Zhou Chunming and several field directors were alerted.
When he heard that a tenant in Xinlangchang was picked to death by a wild boar, Zhou Chunming hurried over.
Although these tenants are all hired by the boss, in the final analysis they all work for the forestry farm. If there are some small things on weekdays, the forestry farm can ignore them and pass them on to the boss.
But at this time, human lives were lost, and it was impossible for the forest farm to pick them all.
However, when they arrived at the scene and asked a simple question, Zhao Qingqing, who had collapsed, explained everything clearly, including their purpose of hunting the wild boar.
After several leaders listened, they returned to the office building and held a brief meeting.
Because of Zhao Qingqing's "confession", this matter became much simpler. If Niu Guoliang was killed while pulling the trap, the forest farm would be responsible. But Niu Guoliang was killed because he went hunting.
Moreover, when you are at work, you don’t pull the condom properly and go hunting wild boars. Who can blame you?
The most important thing is that Zhao Qingqing, who was traveling with Niu Guoliang, was not only Niu Guoliang's brother-in-law, but also his leader.
In this way, Yongan Forestry Farm does not need to bear any responsibility, but will provide some compensation to Niu Guoliang's family out of humanitarianism.
This matter should have been suppressed, but Fan Zhisheng, director of the forestry camp, had different opinions.
Fan Zhisheng said that the death of Niu Guoliang was inseparable from Dou Baoguo. No matter how you say it, Dou Baoguo is the director of Xinrangchang. Now that such a big thing has happened, he, Dou Baoguo, is responsible for not managing the Lengchang suites properly.
, and also asked the tenant to hunt wild boars for him to prepare gifts, which finally led to Niu Guoliang's murder.
Therefore, Dou Baoguo should bear the main responsibility.
This is human nature.
I remember when Dou Baoguo proposed expanding production and building new roads, Fan Zhisheng stood up to support Dou Baoguo.
But when Dou Baoguo's accident happened and Director Chu came down to check, Fan Zhisheng added insult to injury for Dou Baoguo.
Now, Fan Zhisheng is even more prepared to kill Dou Baoguo with a stick.
However, the other leaders did not say anything in response to Fan Zhisheng's speech. They just maintained a silent attitude and quickly unified their opinions in a tacit understanding.
Then, Zhou Chunming personally called and reported to the bureau, and the person who answered the phone was Director Chu who came last time.
On the phone, Zhou Chunming spoke very cryptically, but Director Chu understood clearly that the tenant was killed because of wild boar hunting, and the reason for hunting wild boar was because Dou Baoguo wanted to give him wild boar thighs as a gift.
This made Director Chu very angry. It was fine that Dou Baoguo did not work hard. Now that a life was lost, he still wanted to drag himself into trouble. It was really unreasonable!
Therefore, Director Chu immediately instructed Zhou Chunming to fire Dou Baoguo, and even the director of Lengchang did not let him work.
Zhao Jun went to Lengchang for three and a half days, and then went home to rest for three days, which lasted for one week.
But just this week, Dou Baoguo was demoted from the second-in-command of Yong'an Forest Farm and the dignified production director to the director of Leng Farm, and now he has been directly fired.
However, Dou Baoguo was a very resilient person. While Zhao Qingqing was driving the carriage to escort Niu Guoliang home, Dou Baoguo took over Zhao Qingqing's burden and became the leader in Lengchang.
The next day, it rained lightly again in the morning, so Zhao Jun did not go to Lingnan. After ten o'clock, when the rain stopped and the sky cleared, he took Jie Chen to wander around the villages and get to know the people in the villages.
On September 11th, Zhao Jun still did not go to Lingnan. He took Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen into the mountains, and went to the old village where the sticks were produced the day before yesterday. The four of them laid sticks and released them into the mountain.
