Chapter 667

Although Wang An hadn't been in contact with the matter of planting ginseng, he had heard of it.

The most stringent condition for this thing is to keep the soil moist, but it must never be muddy. As long as it is soaked in mud for a long time, this thing will rot completely.

And in one day, this thing only needs to see the sun for about one or two hours; for the rest of the time, it must be kept in a cool state.

That is to say, this thing likes cool, but it can't be without sunlight. If sunlight shines for a long time, it will make its branches and leaves wither and yellow, the roots and stems stop growing, and even the medicinal power will be lost, becoming ordinary grass roots.

There are actually not that many other conditions. After all, although this thing is a divine grass, it is ultimately a herbaceous plant.

However, these pieces of knowledge about planting ginseng were all heard; Wang An himself hadn't figured it out, so naturally, he wouldn't tell Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li.

So after Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An didn't pay attention either. He just took a piece of tree bark, put some mixture of moss and soil, and wrapped all these horse-hoof ones and three-flower ones in a ginseng package.

After wrapping this ginseng package, Wang An gave the 4 broken 3-grade leaf ginseng roots to Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li, two each, and at the same time said: "These broken ginseng roots aren't worth much even if sold. Take them home to soak in wine or something. As for the remaining ginseng roots, let's divide them after this old pit is completely dug."

Before the two could speak, Wang An continued:

"Let's clean this place up first, cover it, and then go to that stone mountain to take a look, see what's going on, and then go home."

When Seeing Mu Xueli heard this, he said with a face full of schadenfreude: "Yeah, I really want to see what those few devils look like now, hahahaha..."

Wang Li said with a face full of regret:

"That definitely won't be seen."

Seeing Mu Xueli said with a face full of suspicion:

"Why is that? Why won't it be seen?"

Wang Li looked at Seeing Mu Xueli with eyes like looking at an idiot and said:

"If they ran away through a secret passage, wouldn't it be invisible?"

Seeing Mu Xueli nodded subconsciously, but was a bit confused, because although this sentence had no faults, it was clearly nonsense.

Wang Li continued:

"If they didn't run out, wouldn't they still be trapped inside?"

Seeing Mu Xueli nodded again, but was even more confused, and asked subconsciously: "Right, aren't you just asking nonsense?"

Wang Li said with a smile: "That stone mountain doesn't even have a window. Can you drill in to see? Hahaha."

When Seeing Mu Xueli heard this, he was stunned for a while. After reacting, he glared at Wang Li fiercely, clearly feeling a bit resentful about not being able to see the miserable state of the devils.

Filling the dug pit again, covering it with a pile of withered tree leaves, and cleaning up the traces with tree branches, the three of them then rode their horses toward the stone mountain.

In the area of the Lesser Khingan Mountains, winter has short days and long nights; after four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky starts to get dark, but in the morning, it doesn't start to brighten until seven-thirty.

But once spring arrives, it becomes long days and short nights; in the morning, the sky brightens after five o'clock, but in the evening, it doesn't start to get dark until after six o'clock.

And with the passage of time, by summer, it is basically bright at four o'clock in the morning, but it doesn't get dark until after eight o'clock in the evening.

It must be said that this gap is very large, a full difference of several hours.

So, when Wang An and the three of them arrived at the vicinity of the stone mountain on horseback, it wasn't dark yet.

Wang An used binoculars to see from quite a distance away that the stone pile he had piled up in the morning still didn't have a trace of change and was still piled there in good condition. Wang An laughed and said to Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li: "If there is no secret passage, those five devils are still trapped inside now; not a single one ran out."

Wang Li said with a face full of curiosity: "Fourth Brother, hurry up and give me the binoculars; I want to see too."

Wang An took off the binoculars and handed them to Wang Li, while carefully recalling in his brain whether there was any place suspected of having a secret passage when he entered the stone mountain before.

You have to know that Wang An at that time had carefully checked the entire interior of the stone mountain.

Unfortunately, Wang An didn't think about the secret passage at all at that time. Otherwise, he would have had to be more careful.

After Wang Li and Seeing Mu Xueli had all used the binoculars to look at that stone pile, Seeing Mu Xueli handed the binoculars to Wang An while saying with a face full of excitement: "Fourth Brother, let's sneak over and listen? Listen to see if those few devils are still inside."

Even if Seeing Mu Xueli didn't say it, Wang An was just about to call them over, but Wang An was too lazy to "sneak over" and said directly: "Just ride over directly. What will happen if we listen? Maybe they will even ask us for help, hahahaha."

Horses in this era, whether used for pulling carts or riding, will wear horseshoes, which are iron horseshoes.

The main reason is that horses are the main means of transportation and main labor force. If they don't wear horseshoes, the horse hooves won't be wear-resistant when walking or running for a long time.

But this horseshoe also has a feature, which is that when walking on sandy roads or stepping on stones, the sound will be very loud, and the distance of vibration transmission will also be very far.

So if Wang An and the three of them ride horses to approach the stone mountain, the people inside will definitely be able to hear it.

As he spoke, Wang An pulled the reins and said "giddy-up," and rode his horse toward the stone mountain.

Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li also immediately followed on horseback.

Just as he walked to that piece of rocky beach, Wang An faintly heard hoarse shouting coming from inside. Unfortunately, the stone slab wasn't thin, and the entrance and exit were sealed relatively tightly, so Wang An didn't hear anything clearly.

When Wang An tied the horse to a small tree and walked to the pile of stones, he finally heard clearly what was being shouted inside.

"Fellow villager, I am from inside the pass, trapped here and can't get out. Could you please help me and open this stone slab..."

It could be heard that the person shouting was that old bastard, because the voice was full of old age and vicissitudes.

But what Wang An didn't expect was that this devil was still shouting in Chinese, and he spoke quite fluently.

It could be seen that these few devils had really done a lot of homework in terms of language in order to come to the Northeast.

It's just that this beast was still the same bastard as back then, telling lies as if they were true, and even saying he was from inside the pass. Damn, this idiot devil.

To tell the truth, Wang An almost directly said "Fuck your mother, little devil."

Fortunately, Wang An still endured it. After all, Wang An still wanted to hear what else this old bastard would say.

So Wang An deliberately increased his volume and pretended to say to Seeing Mu Xueli:

"Listen, is there a voice in this grave pile?"

After finishing speaking, Wang An also gave Seeing Mu Xueli a wink.

Seeing Mu Xueli naturally understood Wang An's meaning in seconds and pretended to say in a very terrified voice: "Fuck, it wouldn't be a corpse coming back to life, would it!"
