Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 645 Others think so too
In these mountains, moss can be seen everywhere. As long as there is no sunlight and it is dark and humid all year round, you can basically find this thing.

Wang An found a place with thick moss and shoveled away a large piece with a sharp knife. After returning to the place where he was digging ginseng, he crushed the moss and threw it into the ginseng pit. He simply stirred it and the job was done.

But Wang An had finished everything, but Wang Li had not come back yet.

After thinking about it, Wang An didn't take it seriously, so he leaned against a tree and lit a cigarette. However, after he finished smoking the cigarette, Wang Li still didn't come back.

It was not until this moment that Wang An suddenly felt something was wrong.

You know, it's just to cut the bark of a tree, does it take so long?
Besides, the thing that is most abundant in this forest is probably trees. Do you need to run so far just to peel some bark?
So Wang An took off the Type 56 and a half on his back and planned to catch up with Wang Li in the direction he left for a distance.

Fortunately, before Wang An took a step, Wang Li came back dragging a few pieces of bark. The reason why it is said "drag" is because the bark Wang Li peeled was more than one person long.

Wang An looked at the bark in Wang Li's hand, then looked at the two small ginsengs that he had just put on the ground when he was about to get his gun. They were only as long as a palm, including the whiskers. He frowned and said subconsciously:

"You only have two small mallets, why are you messing with all that bark? Why don't you just go get a big tree?"

When Wang Li heard this, he scratched his head and said:
"I didn't know what kind to use, so I just picked a little more."

Wang An sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Four pieces of tree bark more than 1.5 meters long and two palm-sized ginsengs. How big a "ginseng bun" would it be to make it?

The main thing was that Wang An was worried, thinking that something had happened to Wang Li since he hadn't come back for such a long time.

Just as Wang An was about to take the bark, Wang Li suddenly said excitedly:

"Fourth brother, do you know what I'm looking at?"

Wang An was in a helpless state. When he heard this, he said indifferently:
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at the old omen again?"

Wang Li said mysteriously:
"I watched the old eagle. I watched the old eagle hide behind a wood bristle pile."

When Wang An heard the word "Old Eagle", he was instantly shocked and asked quickly:
"Where did you put it? Is the old eagle still there?"

The reason why Wang An was so anxious was that the "old eagle" that Wang Li mentioned was actually a golden eagle, but among all the eagles, only the golden eagle's name did not contain the word "eagle".

Therefore, many local people call the golden eagle "old eagle", of course, some also call it "big old eagle".

You should know that Wang An's purpose of going into the mountains this time was to see the golden eagle, but after walking around for a long time, he didn't even see the shadow of a golden eagle.

Originally Wang An was thinking that going into the mountains today was a waste of time, but it really proved the old saying, "If the east is dark, the west will be bright"!

Because what no one expected was that Wang Li accidentally discovered the old omen, and thus discovered this old tea and the large quantity of grade 6 leaves.

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li smiled and said:

"I haven't been back for such a long time because I wanted to see where the old eagle flew to. Otherwise, I would have come back a long time ago."

It can be seen that Wang Li is trying to curry favor with Wang An, and at the same time wants to make Wang An feel guilty for what he said about Wang Li just now.

How could a cunning man like Wang An fail to see through Wang Li's little trick?

So when Wang Li saw that he not only answered the questions he was anxious to know, but also took credit for himself, Wang An's eyes widened.

Then, Wang An rubbed Wang Li's head and said very dissatisfiedly:
"Just tell me what I ask you, don't use these useless words on me, do you want me to cut you?"

Seeing Wang An getting angry, Wang Li didn't want to sell it anymore and immediately said:

"It's on the south side of Shilazi Mountain, on the east side there is a big tree, a very big one." As soon as Wang Li said that, Wang An immediately imagined the place in his mind.

It was mainly the place that Wang Li mentioned. Wang An had also observed it carefully just now, but the distance was not low, and there was no golden eagle droppings or animal hair below, so Wang An gave up.

Wang An nodded and began to wrap the ginseng bark for people.

Following the method taught by Han Shuisheng, Wang An wrapped one of the ginsengs.

After wrapping the ginseng, Wang An asked Wang Li:

"Have you seen how to wrap a mallet? It's that simple."

Wang Li nodded and said:

"Yes, I got it. This thing is really simple. You can learn it at a glance."

Seeing that Wang Li had no intention of taking action after he finished speaking, Wang An said unhappily:
"What are you looking at? Why don't you wrap up your club too? Wait for me to wrap it for you. You have no manners at all."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li started to wrap ginseng himself in a sullen manner.

After Wang Li finished wrapping the ginseng, Wang An said to Wang Li:
"Let's go. Let's not look for the club yet. Let's eat first, and then we can go check out the golden eagle's nest."

After Wang An finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the place where the horses were tied, while Wang Li followed Wang An, looking at the ginseng buns in his hand, as if he couldn't let go.

At this time of year, the steamed buns made of flour that they brought into the mountains in the morning would not be frozen hard, so the two of them did not light a fire. They just ate the steamed buns, fried dried fish and pickles for a quick lunch.

While eating, Wang Li said with a sullen look on his face:

"Fourth brother, when do you think we can eat pure white flour buns and rice every day?"

I have to say, human beings are never satisfied. I used to eat cornmeal pancakes for every meal, and what I wanted was to be able to eat steamed buns made of two grams of flour.

Now that I can eat steamed buns made of two grains of flour for every meal, I want to eat fine grains for every meal.

But everyone was the same, so no one would laugh at anyone else. Wang An said while eating a steamed bun:

"Then I advise you not to plant corn this year. Plant wheat and rice instead. Then you can exchange these two crops for corn at the end of the year."

Wang An's words stunned Wang Li for a moment, and then he subconsciously asked:
"What if no one replaces them by the end of the year? What about the mules and horses at home? We can't feed them rice and wheat every day, right?"

I have to admit that what Wang Li said makes sense, but at the same time, his understanding is a bit shallow.

So Wang An did not answer Wang Li's question, but asked in return:
"Old Five, if your house was full of corn kernels, would you still eat pancakes and cornmeal porridge for every meal?"

Wang Li answered without even thinking:

"Of course not. No matter what, I have to switch to rice and flour."

After Wang Li finished speaking, Wang An said without even raising his head:

"Yeah, other people think so too."

Wang Li was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he looked as if he suddenly understood.

After dinner, Wang An and Wang Li walked towards the golden eagle's nest together.
