I'm not immortal

Chapter 65 The mallet is gone?Jealous dog!
After packing up the things, the old man brought three furs and handed them to Jiang Qi and his son and Lao Shen.

"Put this on and go up the mountain this season. It's not necessary to wear less. The mountain wind in the old forest is like a blade."

The old man patted the fur in his hand, and said with a smile: "No matter how expensive a down jacket is, it's not as windproof as the old leather jacket!"

On the matter of going up the mountain, the old man just said one thing, and the three of them naturally would not object.

Each is covered with furs, and the three bears are freshly baked.

Soon, the people who went up the mountain were ready, including Jiang Qi and the old man, there were nine people in total.

"Brother Jiang, do you know why there are only nine people?"

The boss personally carried the small box with the belt on his back, and turned to ask Jiang Qi on the side.

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "I was going to ask you for advice."

"This is the old rule of our mountain hunters. Whenever we go to the mountain to collect ginseng, the number of people must be odd."

The old man wrapped his head in a fur and said: "Because in our eyes, a stick is also a person, going up the mountain with an odd number and going down the mountain with an even number, to win a prize."

"But now, there are not many people who follow the rules."

The veteran sighed and said, "Look, they are all 40- to [-]-year-olds. There are no young people. It's not that I don't give young people opportunities, but that there are really no young people who are willing to do this business."

"If things go on like this, when I die, I'm afraid that what you see will be the last mountain chaser."

"Brother, don't be too pessimistic, there is still me."

Jiang Hong patted the old man on the shoulder, and said: "I promised you last night, no one will learn, I will find someone to learn!"

"It will definitely not let this craft be broken!"

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

The old man turned his head and nodded to Jiang Hong.

Jiang Qi understood that what he was playing with his father was the emotional card.

The old man was afraid of driving the mountain's skills to him, and Jiang Hong's condition was that as long as he cooperated, he would not only win a win-win situation, but also find talents to learn from him.

This is what the old man values ​​most, and it is also the reason why the old man let go.

The reason why he took the initiative to talk to the kid Jiang Qi just now is because he knows that whether this cooperation can continue in the future depends not only on Jiang Hong, but also on Jiang Qi's successor.

"Are you all ready?"

The old man looked at the people present and asked loudly.

"Ready! Old man!"

Everyone responded loudly.

"Sacrificing to God!"

The old man gave an order, and a few mountaineers who didn't have to go up the mountain brought out the altar, on which were the statues of Grandma Fifth and Liu Xian.

"kneel!"

The old man held three incense sticks in his head, and after lighting them, he took the lead in kneeling in front of the altar.

Jiang Qi, father and son, and the other three watched, but did not participate. Jiang Hong was an atheist, while Lao Shen believed in Buddhism.

As for Jiang Qi, he was afraid that something would happen if he worshiped him.

"Fifth Grandma is on top! Immortal Liu is on top! I wish my disciple all the best for this trip!"

The old man worshiped three times meticulously, and inserted the fine incense into the incense burner.

Then, the old man stood up, turned around, and looked at the majestic Changbai Mountains.

He took a deep breath and shouted in a voice with a strong Syracuse accent.

"Catch the mountain!!!"

"Let's go!!"

Accompanied by the old man's deep voice, whether it was an illusion or something, Changbai Mountain became more eye-catching in the eyes of everyone.

A group of people set off one after another and went straight to Changbai Mountain.

Of course, it’s not walking. As the saying goes, Wangshan runs to a dead horse. Although this is the nearest village to Changbai Mountain, it is still a long way from Changbai Mountain.

Two sturdy off-road vehicles drove over, with surprisingly wide wheels, which looked like they had been modified.

The old man sat in the same car with Jiang Qi and the other three, and went straight to the foot of Changbai Mountain.

In the car, the old man didn't speak, but kept flipping through a hand-drawn map.

Jiang Qi was sitting next to the old man, and with a glance, he found that the map seemed to be a certain location in Changbai Mountain, and three places were marked with red dots.

This map is very simple, with no scale, no reference objects, and it is far from a serious map.

Those who have never been to Changbai Mountain in person and who are familiar with Changbai Mountain will definitely not understand it.

The old man noticed Jiang Qi's gaze, and said with a smile, "Don't you understand? I drew this myself. The three marks on it are three young sticks that haven't reached their age."

As he said that, the old man patted the box on his body in fear, and said: "It's the rule of the mountaineers, when you see a stick that hasn't reached the year, you have to wrap red ginseng and hang copper coins on it."

"One, it's said that the mallet has spirituality. Once the red string is tied, it won't be able to escape."

"The second thing is to tell the other mountain hunters that this stick has been marked and no one else can move it."

The old man took out a copper coin from the box and handed it to Jiang Qi, motioning him to take a closer look.

Jiang Qi took a look and found a small "Hu" character on the copper coin.

I just heard the old man say: "One of them was found by me when I went to the mountains eight years ago, and it was only ten years younger than 50 years."

"This time, it happened to be dug out, and Brother Jiang could fulfill his wish,"

"Brother!"

The old man looked at Jiang Hong, and said with a smile, "Isn't it a loss of honor to give a 50-year-old club to younger siblings?"

"Oh my old brother, why don't you let me sit on wax!"

Jiang Hong waved his hand ashamedly, and said with a smile: "My brother is not polite to you, I will take this club, but I can't lose a penny of the money I deserve!"

"Otherwise, I will not give my brother face!"

"Brother, open up."

The old man nodded with a smile.

This is him showing off his muscles and telling Jiang Hong that he won't suffer from cooperating with him.

After driving the mountains for 40 years, no one knows how many such maps the old man has.

The car soon came to the foot of Changbai Mountain.

After the old man got out of the car, he looked at Jiang Hong and his son and the other three, and said, "Three, you should know the rules of driving up the mountain. This is up the mountain."

Jiang Hong nodded and said: "Old brother, don't worry, on the mountain, everyone listens to you."

This is also a rule, no one knows what dangers are hidden in the old forest, the ground is covered with snow, and nothing can be seen, relying on the experience of the head.

In this case, it is a big taboo to order multiple doors.

After going up the mountain, the only thing that works is the words of the head.

The old man nodded, without saying any more, he sent three people to open the way, and two people stepped behind, sandwiching him, Jiang Hong and the other four.

After walking for about an hour under the command of the old man, the old man stopped suddenly.

"Stop!"

The old man shouted his head, and everyone looked at him.

Jiang Qi silently glanced at a position about ten meters to the east of the old man's head.

There is a strong old pine there, and the snowdrift at the root of the tree is full of fallen pine needles.

"It's right here. The mallet from eight years ago is under this old pine tree."

The old man closed his eyes and recalled for a while, and then said firmly.

After that, he stepped forward, squatted down, and scraped away the snow and pine needles.

However, what he saw next made the old man's face change, and he even cursed!

"The jealous dog over there dug up the stick I marked!"

"Not following the rules! Aren't you afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren!"
