Chapter 22: Carrot and Porcupine

Lelang and his party walked on the fallen leaves all the way to Jianwei Mountain. One side of Jianwei Mountain faces the sun and the other side faces shady. The shady side is blocked by the surrounding mountains, forming a small mountain col. After a long period of dead branches and leaves, the small mountain col

The accumulation and erosion of mountains and rivers have formed a fertile black land. Over time, the ground has become covered with tall trees. The climate here is mild all year round, which is very suitable for the growth of ginseng.

When Lao Qi was planting ginseng, he didn't dare to cut down trees. Otherwise, he would not let him go without punishment from the village. He just dug holes in the open space between the trees and planted them, one tree here and there, five trees here and there.

For years, he also scattered some mature ginseng seeds in other woods. He still doesn't know how many ginseng he planted, but there is no doubt that he planted all the ginseng.

He also cleared an open space of about three thirds in the dense woods, and planted a piece of American ginseng in the ground. American ginseng is obviously easier to grow than ginseng. In this radius of about a mile, he planted some American ginseng sparsely.

He did collect some during the year, which also allowed him to earn some money.

Sanlang who was walking aside seemed to have discovered something at this time, and ran over in a hurry. Sanjia, who was on the side, looked at him and followed him. Sanlang ran to a tree, squatted down, and casually followed him.

He grabbed something on the ground and looked at it curiously. At the same time, he picked up a long black and white thorn on the ground, turned around and ran back.

Sanlang came to Lelang excitedly and said to him: "Uncle Alang, Uncle Alang, look, I found a radish, look, look..." As he said this, he grabbed the radish in his hand as if showing off.

He held it up high for Le Lang to see. The other hand was holding the long thorn and pricking the radish. He didn't know what he was doing. He was probably trying to see if it was a radish. The long thorn pierced the surface of the radish, and suddenly there was a fragrance.

spread out.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention to what Sanlang was doing, but when they saw the radish that Sanlang brought, everyone was dumbfounded. When Lao Liu saw Sanlang stabbing the radish with a long thorn, his heart beat like the radish.

It stung, and my face immediately turned green.

Now perhaps there is only one song that can clearly express the innocent, helpless and helpless true heart of Lao Liu: "only you why am I so miserable, only you my heart hurts so much, only you, Sanlang, only you

You, my ginseng..."

Seeing Saburo constantly pricking small holes in the radish, Lao Liu couldn't wait to stop digging. He quickly ran over and snatched the radish from San Lang's hand and said to him: "San Lang, this is not a radish." Lao Qi used it.

I gently wiped the soil on the radish with my hand. It was still very fresh. It seemed that it was newly dug, but some of the roots were broken. It couldn't be sold at a good price like this. It seemed that this one had to be eaten by myself.

"Oh." Sanlang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "That's a radish."

The people next to him almost burst into laughter after hearing this, and three black lines appeared on Lao Liu's head. However, obviously he couldn't argue with the little kid, so he had to patiently say to him: "Sanlang, this is not a radish, it is ginseng, ginseng

.”

"Can ginseng be eaten?" Saburo asked curiously.

"Of course it's edible, and it's delicious?" Lao Liu cut off the stems and leaves from the ginseng's head, took out a piece of kraft paper, wrapped the ginseng, and put it in his backpack to deal with it when he got back.

Sanlang couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Lao Liu's appearance. When he saw him putting things away, he immediately said angrily to Lao Liu: "Uncle Ah Cai, I found that ginseng." Three people on the side were also upset.

He stood next to San Lang and looked at Lao Liu with eager eyes, probably thinking that Lao Liu had stolen something belonging to San Lang.

"Sanlang, the ginseng here is grown by Uncle Cai, and so is yours, do you know?" Le Lang saw Sanlang's petty attitude from the side, and couldn't help but smile and touch his head.

"Oh." Saburo felt a little depressed. He finally picked something up, but unexpectedly it became someone else's. He was thinking in his mind if he was also planting something in the woods. If someone dug it up in the future, he would say it was his.

Planted.

Ignoring the small thoughts in Saburo's little brat's mind, Naruto on the other side looked at the long black and white thorn in Saburo's hand and asked him: "Sanlang, where are your porcupine quills?"

Coming?"

"Porcupine quills?" Sanlang looked at the long thorns on his hands and realized that they were called porcupine quills. "Look for them over there." As he said that, he pointed to one side casually.

Everyone looked towards the place where Saburo pointed, but it was the place where Saburo found ginseng just now. Everyone walked over and took a look. They saw four trees leaning together in this place. There was a small open space in the middle. The ground was dry and there was a layer of grass on the ground.

There is a layer of weeds, which looks very comfortable, and there are a few porcupine quills scattered on it. It seems that Saburo just picked one of them. The core of a tree at the back has rotted, and a hole has been dug out.

Hole, there seems to be something in the hole.

Naruto lay outside with the harpoon and took a look. It seemed like there was something there. Suddenly he heard a "swish" sound, and his intuition told him that something was wrong. He quickly got up, but it was too late. From then on.

A porcupine rushed out of the tree hole. The porcupine roared "puff" and rushed towards Naruto.

"Porcupine, run!" Someone yelled and ran out. Although Sanlang looked like a chubby little guy, he was really skilled. With a "whoosh" sound, he saw that the situation was not good. He ran faster than anyone else, even

Lelang and the others all ran slower than him.

Naruto was in trouble now. He just got up when the porcupine roared out. He turned around and ran away, but the porcupine chased after him. While chasing, he also shot out an arrow thorn. The thorn was as fast as lightning.

As fast as thunder, it was like thousands of arrows fired straight at Naruto. Naruto was also very fast. Most of the arrows fell behind him, but unfortunately there was still an arrow that hit his left side.

butt.

"Ouch." Naruto yelled miserably.

Naruto thought angrily: You Chacha, you have to shoot me when others don't shoot, do you have any sense of justice? When he turned around, he saw that the porcupine was still chasing after him without hesitation, and he suddenly felt annoyed.

I'll give you three points and you dare to go to Liangshan, you Chacha. Don't blame him for being angry. He has grown so big. He has been in the water and rain. I have even seen big snakes with thick necks, but I have never seen him so rampant.

of.

Naruto's heart skipped a beat and he turned the harpoon in his hand. A cold light flashed from the tip of the fork. He suddenly stopped and stabbed the harpoon forward, hitting the porcupine's neck right in the middle. The porcupine suddenly roared and kicked its legs wildly.

After breaking away from the harpoon, Naruto raised the harpoon in his hand and stabbed the porcupine hard into the tree. The porcupine suddenly became silent.

When Naruto saw that the porcupine was finally dead, he took off the harpoon, carried the harpoon behind his back with one hand, and with the other hand, he pretended to look up and read: "Infinite Taoist Master..."

At this time, I heard Saburo shouting anxiously in front: "Uncle Naruto, uncle Naruto..."

"What's the matter?" Naruto asked strangely.

"Behind, behind..." When Naruto heard Saburo's words, he suddenly got excited and thought: It can't be so lucky! When he turned his head and looked, there was a porcupine behind his butt, staring at him with blood-red eyes and mouth.

It made a roar of "Puff", and the arrow stabs on its body made a "swish" sound.

Oops, Naruto thought to himself. However, he ran forward quickly. Before he could take two steps, he heard a sound from behind.

"Oops", Naruto accidentally hit his butt again, but this time it was the right butt, which seemed to be more serious than last time. Two sticks were hit at once.

This time, Naruto stopped running. He looked at the porcupine in front of him bitterly. This porcupine was smaller than the first one, but the spikes on its head were black and yellow in color. The porcupine was not the same.

It looked at Naruto in a weak manner, breathing heavily through its nose and making a "puff" sound from its mouth. This porcupine's contempt for Naruto completely made Naruto angry. He had never been so embarrassed before.

He changed the harpoon he just held in his left hand to his right hand. The harpoon was one of the thirty-six weapons in Xiaoxi Village. He had practiced every unique skill since he was a child: "throwing, stabbing, forking, sweeping, and raising."

The porcupine and Naruto were about three or four meters apart. Naruto held the harpoon tightly in his hand and did not need to run. He just threw the harpoon hard and hit the porcupine. Before the porcupine had time to escape, the sharp fork tip had already pierced the porcupine.

Entering the porcupine's body, it was already lying on the ground with its eyes wide open before it even knew what was going on. Blood kept coming out from the side of the harpoon. The porcupine's limbs kept twitching, its eyes widened, and it seemed as if it was self-conscious.

Unwilling to close eyes.

At this time, everyone came out again and looked at the porcupine with unknown expressions on their faces.

Saburo on the side looked at the porcupine lying in a pool of blood and twitching, and said sympathetically: "The porcupine is so pitiful."

After hearing this, Naruto said angrily: "It's not pitiful, I'm pitiful, ouch." Now Naruto was silently wailing in his heart: "Who knows how miserable I am, who cares how big my butt is.

pain……"

"Ah..." Not long after Naruto wailed, Shen Min came over, looked at the porcupine quill stuck in his butt, and pulled it out with a kind hand. Unexpectedly, Naruto suddenly screamed and knocked him down.

Startled.

"You Chacha, you didn't even say a word when you pulled it out. You are not prepared at all. You are still not a doctor, and do you have a sense of public morality?" Shen Min's good intentions did not expect to do bad things, and he was killed by Naruto.

A lot of curses.

Shen Min scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Then I'll insert it back."

Naruto almost fainted when he heard this, "Damn, you are so cruel, do you think this is a movie, or do you think I am Stephen Chow, I want to break up with you."

Everyone looked on, laughing until their stomachs cramped.

After hearing this, Shen Min said helplessly: "Well, you still have two thorns in your butt, can you pull them out?"

"Pull it out, of course. If you don't pull it out, why don't you leave it on your butt for seed?"

"Then be careful, I'll pull it out."

"It's okay, what are we...ah..." Before Naruto could finish his words, he screamed miserably again. Now he was finally annoyed, "I said what's wrong with you, Shenmin, I didn't ask you to pull it out, but you just

"Pull out, I asked you to pluck out both of them and you pulled out both of them. You have no professional ethics. You don't even know how you got a wife. Look at your personality, look at you..."

Seeing Naruto chattering endlessly about Shen Min's potential to become Tang Monk, Lao Qi hurriedly said: "Naruto, it's better to give some medicine to stop the bleeding and prevent inflammation. If it gets infected, it won't be good."
