MTL - Lanke Chess Edge-Chapter 6 Don't go with him!
Having experienced the mysteriousness of Yuluo listening to all things, Ji Yuan is now very confident in her listening ability at the moment. Although she didn't have any distractions just now, at such a close distance, the sound of a person's footsteps will never be missed.
Recalling what Jin Shunfu said just now, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.
In the cold night of the barren mountains and wild mountains, a scholar of unknown origin suddenly appeared, no matter how you think about it, it is not normal.
But this scholar's demeanor and actions are all in place, plus his identity as a scholar and his powerless appearance, it seems that he has successfully gained the trust of the traders.
To be honest, this mountain temple is not the private property of the traveling merchants. Everyone has the right to come in and rest. After all, they are not vicious and unreasonable people, so even if they are wary of the scholars, it is impossible to drive people away.
Of course, the foot merchants were not completely unguarded. Although they politely greeted the scholar to sit down, they also had to ask the scholar's footsteps.
"Dare to ask who your surname is, where do you live, and where do you go to school?"
Zhang Shilin had read some books anyway, and when he asked the scholar, this sentence seemed to be more polite, so that the youngest Wang Dong couldn't help but glance at him several times.
When the scholar heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed to Zhang Shilin.
"Xiaosheng's surname is Lu, and his single name is Xing. He lives in the archway of Shuixian Town. He is a student of Qingsong Academy in Desheng Prefecture. This time, he and his friends from the academy returned to their hometown to go up the mountain..."
Probably because of the way Zhang Shilin asked, the scholar regarded him as half a scholar, and changed his self-proclaimed from "me" to "small student".
The scholar is both a memory and a fear. He tells which friends he went up the mountain with, why he lost his mind in the mountains, where he lives, and which academy he studied in. He would spit out a sloppy poem from time to time, and his words were all organized. Clearly, not like nonsense.
The scholar's performance is neither gentle nor pretentious, and his words are polite and decent.
In particular, hearing that the scholar is a student of the orthodox academy makes all the businessmen feel awe. Compared with the scholar who studies hard at home alone, the academy students will be much better in terms of status, family, and talents, which is the saying that they have high gold content.
Scholars have always been admired, let alone students of Qingsong Academy.
Slowly, even Zhang Shilin put down his guard. Not only that, but everyone also respected Scholar Lu.
And the scholar is also not arrogant. Anyone who takes water or food will always thank him, but he will not eat for the time being if he is not hungry.
Ji Yuan's heart has sunk to the bottom. This so-called scholar is too good at acting. If Ji Yuan had not already decided in his heart that this guy is definitely not a human being, I'm afraid he would have already believed him.
It's so scary, so scary!
If there is an option now for Ji Yuan to choose to keep time travel or go home immediately, he will choose the latter without hesitation, but unfortunately he has no choice now.
Now Ji Yuan still has a bit of luck, because this scholar needs to act like this, which means that this thing should not be the master who can kill the Quartet, and the other party seems to have not found a beggar lying behind the statue of the mountain god.
Scholar Lu and the merchants were already chatting and laughing. It was rare that a student from a large academy had no prejudice against these merchants, and the conversation was naturally very harmonious.
As if he suddenly thought of something, the scholar patted his head and said mysteriously to Zhang Shilin and the others.
"That's right! Xiaosheng doesn't have much money on his body, so he can't repay the kindness of all of you, but Xiaosheng saw a good thing on the way to the temple, and it must be able to bring you some benefits!"
Sure enough, it immediately aroused everyone's interest.
"I don't know what good things are?"
The scholar lowered his voice.
"A full-year-old ginseng!"
Ginseng is a precious medicinal material, and adding the word Shanwang before the word ginseng often refers to the best ginseng.
As a travel trader who has traveled through mountains and rivers all the year round, if he encounters suitable medicinal materials, he will carefully dig and take them away, which is a considerable profit.
When everyone heard the ginseng, their expressions became a little excited.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shilin frowned and looked at Scholar Lu.
"Master Lu, you are a scholar, and you know the appearance of Shan Wangshen?"
"Hahaha, what Zhang Xiongtai said is very true. Although I did read the characteristics of ginseng in the miscellaneous book "Essentials of Plants and Trees", I couldn't identify Shanwang ginseng at a glance, but I can't do it. Others can!"
When Scholar Lu said this, he looked around carefully, and then lowered his voice.
"I'm from Narcissus Town. I know that occasionally there will be a group of mountain rushers who come to town to market and sell medicinal herbs. I've talked to them a few times, and I know a little bit of the inside story."
"That mountain king ginseng has nine leaves and palms, and the red seed flower stands tall, the most important thing..."
Speaking of which, all the businessmen, including Zhang Shilin, had already thought about it involuntarily.
"The most important thing is that there are three small red ropes tied to the ginseng stem. This is a local method led by a clever mountain leader to prevent the ginseng from escaping!"
This statement is refreshing and exciting for many traders.
"Yes, I heard the old man say that the old ginseng will dig into the soil to escape, and only the most powerful mountain driver can catch them!"
Jin Shunfu also recounted what he had heard before.
"It's very, very good! What Jin Xiongtai said is true!"
Scholar Lu clapped his palm and nodded in agreement.
"The driver of the mountain was tied with a red rope and did not dig it away. It must be waiting for the mountain king ginseng to reach the best temperature, but you don't need to do this. If you can get this mountain king ginseng, it must be a lot of money. If it wasn't for the fear in my heart at that time. I am very worried and afraid that the medicinal materials may have been dug up.”
"Yep!!"
"Brother Shilin, let's go digging!!"
"Scholar, where is the ginseng of the mountain king?"
…
The traveling merchants were so excited that they could not wait to dig up ginseng.
The wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and the motivation of profit made them trust Lu Shusheng's words even more. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Ji Yuan's heart is getting colder and deeper, and there is only one thought - worse!
Facing the eagerness of the traveling merchants, the scholar thought for a while before answering.
"That place is not far from where Xiaosheng used to hide from the rain. You can go back and forth without two sticks of incense. If you really want it, you'd better come with me before dawn."
"Why is this? The road is slippery at the moment, isn't it too unsafe?"
Zhang Shilin asked suspiciously.
"Zhang Xiongtai didn't know anything, the mountain hunters all went into the mountains on the eve of dawn. I see that the safflower of the mountain king ginseng is already standing. If the mountain hunters come to dig ginseng in one or two days, we won't go tonight, right? missed?"
"yes!"
"It makes sense!"
"Brother Shilin, I'm handy, I'll go!"
"Yes, we're going to dig!"
These days, raising a family is the most important thing, and the mountain king ginseng is naturally raised, and it is not that the mountain people are tied to the red rope to say that it must be theirs, as long as they don't bump into it, they will be fine.
"You don't have to go all the way, go to a few with flexible hands and feet, and the rest are watching things here."
Zhang Shilin didn't hesitate any more, and began to find torches, tarpaulins and other items from the basket.
"Lao Jin, Xiaodong, Liu Quan, and Li Gui, the four of you are going with Mr. Lu. The road in the mountains is slippery. Be careful to ensure Mr. Lu's safety on the road!"
"Wrap it on me!" "Don't worry, Brother Shilin, I won't let Young Master Lu fall!"
"There is work, there is work"
Scholar Lu bowed his thanks, and on the side of the fire that no one was paying attention to, the smile opened to a pale and strange arc...
Ji Yuan only felt the chills go straight to his scalp and roared in his heart.
'do not go! ! Don't go with him! ! ’
