In our village, there is an old man from Baishan City, Jilin Province, named Bai Yuanting, who is 90 years old this year, with all his hair and beard white, and looks like a fairy.
When the old man was young, he was a mountain runner (digging wild ginseng), according to Bai Yuanting himself, who had been digging ginseng in the mysterious Changbai Mountain for many years, he often encountered strange things, like what roe deer pedaling fire, Siberian tiger digging bird nests, yellow skin begging for seals, etc........
However, the most unforgettable thing for him is the ginseng doll........
Ancient saying cloud: ten years of ginseng into material, a hundred years of ginseng as a treasure, a thousand years of ginseng is refined........ This ginseng doll is the ginseng essence of the millennium........
That was 60 years ago:
It was just dark that day, Bai Yuanting heard the noise in his yard, and when he went out of the house, he found three sons chasing and fighting in the courtyard with two bare-ass red-bellied children, which was loud and had fun.
I think bai yuanting has been wandering in the mountains for many years, with a fierce breath of reason, when he went to the courtyard for such a stop, the sons immediately quieted down, and the two bare-ass red-bellied children were even more "sneaky" and ran away without a trace........
"Early in the morning, what a noise...."
Bai Yuanting said solemnly to his three sons.
The children were silent, and they didn't dare to put one in their farts.
"Whose family are those two babies, and how come they've never seen them?"
Bai Yuanting suddenly asked.
"Dad, they sneaked up to their windows early in the morning to seduce us... I don't know whose house it is—"
The eldest son began to explain.
"Dad, I really don't know whose house it is, I've never seen it—"
The second and third elders also followed suit.
"A bunch of losers, playing for half a day don't know who is playing with-"
Bai Yuanting breathlessly took the guy who was picking ginseng and went straight out the door.
Generally speaking, the mountain runners enter the mountain are exquisite: First, do not catch the fog, that is, the fog does not go up the mountain, whether the fog is large or the fog is small, it does not enter the mountain........ It is easy to get lost in the deep mountains and old forests; second, if you don't rush, that is, you don't go up the mountain collectively, even if you are a couple (unless you are a couple) ........ Afraid of digging up good ginseng after the eyes red, anxious eyes; three, not early, that is, not in the morning mountain (generally after 8 o'clock)........ Only the dead will go up the hill before 8 o'clock.......
Bai Yuanting is the most obedient to the ancestral precepts of the nearby mountain runners, and naturally will not break the rules, so although he went out early because he was disturbed by good dreams and children(ready to go up the mountain to collect ginseng), he could only stop at the foot of the mountain, and then take a step forward to catch up early.......
Took out an old-fashioned Shanghai watch, glanced at it, and found that it was just after half past seven o'clock, and in desperation, Bai Yuanting could only put the ginseng picking guy on the ground, sitting on a large stone at the foot of the mountain and nibbling on the steamed buns, the countrymen did not pay attention, a few steamed buns and scallions were a rich breakfast.
After 4 or 5 steamed buns were down, Bai Yuanting chewed the green onion fiercely, burped satisfactorily, picked up a military kettle that had long since faded with him, "Gollum Gollum", and filled it with water again.
Glancing at the old-fashioned Shanghai watch again, I found that it was just 8 o'clock, and I was preparing to smoke a bag of dry cigarettes and then go up the mountain in Baiyuan Pavilion, but suddenly I saw two children talking and laughing from not far away.
Aren't those two bare-assed, red-bellied children playing with their sons in their yard? ’
Bai Yuanting muttered to himself and greeted the two children loudly:
"Baby—"
At this time, the two children also found Bai Yuanting, but after hearing the former's shout, the two children quickly ran towards the mountain like a lost soul... In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the mangy woods........
Bai Yuanting felt more and more strange, so he chased after it, but I don't know if it was the ginseng guy on his back who affected the speed of the chase, or the two children ran too fast, Bai Yuanting chased for half an hour, and even the shadows of the two babies did not touch.......
The strange thing is that the previous few days were full of Bai Yuan pavilion, that day did not even dig a single ginseng.......
After returning, Bai Yuanting told his father Bai Zhongshan about the original events he had encountered during the day.
After listening to his son's narration for a long time, Bai Zhongshan, who has 50 years of experience in running mountains, did not make a sound for a long time, and after he finished smoking a bag of dry cigarettes, he sighed and said:
"You meet the ginseng essence, and those two dolls are the essence of the ginseng of the millennium........ You are full of the hostility of the mountain runners, and the ginseng doll is naturally afraid when she sees you, so she naturally wants to hide....... Seeing the guy you are carrying, the ginseng spirit naturally wants to report to the same people in the mountains......... The ginseng who received the information 'hid', and you will naturally return empty-handed——"
After Bai Yuanting listened, he nodded his head and said with some understanding:
"That's ginseng essence, I've long heard that people are participating in the meeting, it turns out that it's all true——"
Bai Zhongshan took a deep breath and said:
"Yes, otherwise, after the ginseng is found in the mountain, it will be tied with a red rope, the purpose is to prevent it from running........"
...........
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > Summary: Bai Yuanting may just be telling a story, where in this world there are any strange ghosts and gods...</h1>
Did Noyama participate in the meeting?
Of course not........
Because:
First, if it is true, the world will not be chaotic, who dares to put the child outside to play, who dares to wear a red belly pocket for the child.......
Second, so far, there is no scientific proof: the existence of ginseng dolls ... ...
Third, so far, the world's most "longevity" of wild ginseng found is 325 years old, even according to: ginseng ten years into the material, a hundred years for the treasure, a thousand years of refining the saying, is also a treasure, how to become a sperm of the saying ........
Is Noyama participating in the run?
One, so far, there is no scientific proof: people attending the conference to run .........
Second, if people participate in the meeting to run, how can the mountain runners dig up ginseng?
Since wild ginseng cannot become a sperm, nor can it run, how can there be a legend that it can become a sperm and can run?
I think:
First, Chuanye Mountain participates in the meeting to become a spirit, will run, most of them are people's reverence for nature, a kind of worship.......
Second, ChuanyeShan's participation in the meeting to become a spirit and a running is the good intention of the nature protector, the purpose is: not to let those who have ulterior motives destroy the forest and desecrate nature........
Third, ginseng is a perennial root herb, the main root of ginseng is 30-60 cm high, thick, fleshy, yellow-white, cylindrical or spindle-shaped, slightly branched below; The rhizome (reed head) is short and erect.
That is to say: ginseng is like sweet potato, there will be many plants on a vine, and with the "long migration" of the root vine, the ginseng plants on the vine will also move, and then it will cause the diggers to create the illusion that people will become sperm and run.......
Why do mountain runners tie a red rope at their roots?
First, in the past, digging ginseng people need to run all over the mountains, it is not easy, when they find a mature ginseng, they will tie a red rope on its stem and leaves, telling other diggers that this ginseng tree has been found, and there is already a famous flower.
Second, ginseng is like sweet potato, there will be many plants on a vine, and as the root vine "becomes longer and migrates", the ginseng plant on the vine will also move, so it is easy to find a red rope on its stem and leaves, in order to dig up after maturity.
Third, it is not easy to find ginseng, find the old growing wood, the ginseng of Chengbao is even more difficult, and it is a happy event to tie a red rope on its stems and leaves, and celebrate it yourself: Hong luck is the head -
Of course, now Changbai Mountain has long been closed to the mountains and forests, digging ginseng people, and running mountains seems to have become a thing of the past.........
I think: whether it is the past digging ginseng people, running mountains, or some desperate diggers today, stealing people are a kind of immoral damage to the forest and nature, which should be resolutely put an end to.......
We should leave a beautiful green earth for future generations, not a Mars that another person cannot live..........
