Because of my husband's military in the northeast, I followed the army for a few years, experienced the life of the ice and snow in the northeast, the snow in the northeast is too big, sometimes it is more than a week, the snowflakes covering the sky, sprinkling, day and night, for me who love to see the snow, the mood is very happy, every day I sit in front of the window drinking hot tea, looking at the snowflakes outside, I feel that it is really a good and beautiful enjoyment!
The area around the troops is all forests that cannot be seen at a glance, and in the season of snowflakes, the snow adds a charming color to the endless forest, as if it is a picture from the edge of the sky, the misty snowy sky is constantly changing, just like the legendary mirage, just in this mysterious big forest, a touching, true and tragic story has occurred!
There are many small villages around the forest, and some people simply live in the middle of the forest for quiet, in my opinion, it is simply a beautiful paradise! And most of the people in these small villages, most of us Shandong people in the early years of the Guandong to deal with such a cold weather in the northeast, almost all the homes of the villagers have kang, when there is nothing to do, I often go to the hometown of the kang to nag, listen to them talk about the stories of life, understand the local customs and folk customs, and establish a deep friendship with them, and the true story about our Shandong hometown ginseng collection, touched me! The story is moving! Life is not easy, everyone is carrying the weight forward, through this story, let me have more respect for the Shandong hometown in the northeast!
The big forest in the northeast has very rich natural resources, not to mention the natural wild, the whole piece of tall birch trees, is how precious the motherland is, there are many precious things in the forest, such as natural wild wild vegetables, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum... And so on for people to eat, the nutritional value is very high, spring comes, the villagers will go to the forest to pick wild vegetables, there are large leaf celery, Cantonese vegetables, bracken, and there is a wild vegetable called "monkey leg", these natural wild vegetables are very delicious, is a pure natural green food. There is also a relatively high value of the medicinal material called "Cow Devil Guang", it is said to be able to fight cancer, at that time it sold a hundred yuan a pound, so some people rely on wild vegetables to get rich, but the most able to make them rich should be wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum! Of course, whether it is picking wild vegetables or ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, the process is quite arduous, the forest ground is uneven, there are often puddles, and insects and snakes come and go.
There is a very magical legend about the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, it is said that the old wild ginseng is spiritual, when you find it, you must use a red rope to tie it, and then turn around to take the tool to plan it, if the movement is slow, the ginseng finds that someone is coming, it is like a long leg to run away, so that people can no longer find it! Whether this legend is true or not, there is no way to verify, but it is enough to see the rarity and preciousness of wild ginseng! So the people in the village in the winter of heavy snow, when the days are relatively idle, they organized a special ginseng team to collect some ginseng to sell money and improve their lives.
But in this snowy forest to collect ginseng, sometimes encounter danger, in the inaccessible forest, not to mention the possibility of encountering hungry beasts, on this bad weather, minus thirty or forty degrees of day, said that the blizzard that comes will bring great risks and tribulations to the people who collect ginseng! Some people even paid the price of their lives and drowned in the snow and wind!
The weather in the northeast is uncertain, it is still sunny in the morning, and suddenly the wind and snow are mixed in the afternoon, and the next one does not stop. On this day, there are four of them in the village, they are our Fellow villagers in Shandong, they are a famous ginseng picking team in the village, they look at the weather is still good, they bring dry food and water, decided to go to the forest to collect ginseng, in the morning, they have picked several larger ginseng in succession, which has increased their confidence in continuing to move forward, every time they go to the forest to collect ginseng, they are still more eager in their bones, and they can pick an expensive Ganoderma lucidum! The harvest is great, not only to attract the envious eyes of the neighbors, but more importantly, to improve their lives! Picking ginseng in a snowstorm forest has forged their steely character!
But no one expected that this time there was an accident! In the afternoon, the sky suddenly became overcast, and the old man felt bad and gave orders to go home! How the snowstorm came in a hurry, hindering their way home! They can't tell the direction of their home, and in the forest, people in good weather are also easy to fall, not to mention the sudden wind and snow, they can't open their eyes! In this way they walked for a long time, and did not go out of the forest for hundreds of miles, the snow fell more and more, the three young people were fine, the old man was already breathless, unable to walk, could not walk, had to be carried by three sons to carry him, so the speed of travel was even slower, the wind and snow continued to roar, at this time the sky was already dark, they could not distinguish the direction, they could not go out of the forest, dry food and water had been exhausted, they were exhausted by the old father, the bad thing was that the old man did not go far due to sudden illness, throat breath, They could have left their deceased father in the forest to escape, but thinking about the difficulty of their father's life, the sons who were full of filial piety were reluctant no matter what, and left their father in this uncared forest to feed the wolves! They marched with difficulty, carrying the dead old father, the sky was darker, the snow was even heavier, the snow did not stop for several days and nights, the three brothers who were hungry and cold, carrying the dead old father helplessly in the forest, looking for the direction to go home, the road in the forest was uneven, it was very difficult to walk, carrying a heavy father, if you were not careful, you would fall... In the end, the four of them, father and son, were all drowned in the roar of the wind and snow!
The ending of the story makes people tearful, and what touches people's hearts is the great filial piety of the three brothers! Leave the old father, maybe they will live, but they did not do that, they always covered their chests with their hands and did things with their conscience, and really fulfilled the "do not forget the original heart, forge ahead," even if they are overwhelmed by the wind and snow, they have no regrets!
