Chapter 1. Seeing blood for ginseng

The Changbai Mountains are named after their main peak, Changbai Mountain, which is mostly white pumice stones and snow. They are the boundary mountain between China and the two countries and are known as the "first mountain in Guandong". In history, Changbai Mountain has always been a place for the people of Kanto to live and work, and is also the birthplace of the Manchus. It was known as a "holy land" in the Qing Dynasty. Changbai Mountain is famous for its tourist attractions, birthplace of the Manchus, and holy mountain of the Chinese nation.

Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano. Due to its unique geological structure, it forms a wonderful landscape different from other mountain ranges. The main peak is 2,691 meters above sea level, and there are 16 peaks above 2,500 meters above sea level. Tianchi is the most famous landscape of Changbai Mountain. Changbai Mountain is the main production area of ​​jujube ginseng, marten, and antler in the northeast. There are many rare biological resources on the mountain, such as beauty pine, mountain grapes, wild mushrooms, Jindalai, celestial grass, Siberian tigers, red-crowned cranes, etc.

Because the Changbai Mountains have fewer and fewer high-quality wild ginseng in China, the herb collectors living nearby will dig into these deep mountains and forests as long as the weather allows, in order to dig out wild ginseng that is more scarce but has risen all the way. If anyone is lucky enough to dig up wild ginseng that has been more than a hundred years old, then the herb collector will be at home and enjoy the rest of his life.

The herb collectors living around the Changbai Mountains all have this extravagant hope in their hearts, but they understand one thing at the same time, that is, going to the mountains to collect herbs is a high-income and high-risk thing. In recent years, countless herb collectors have entered the rare deep mountains and forests to encounter the unlimited luck. As a result, many people will never return. Over time, the people nearby know that this kind of windfall from heaven cannot be obtained by anyone.

Han Ankang, a rural doctor located in a small border town in the southeastern border of Jilin Province, carried the only relics left by his deceased grandfather, a herb collection basket used by an older generation of herb collectors. He was preparing to go to the nearby mountains to dig some Chinese herbs in the deep mountains to alleviate the fewer Chinese herbs in the village’s infirmary.

As a top student who graduated from Jilin Province's University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Han Ankang could have been looking for a relatively high-paying job outside. He just thought of the last wishes that his grandfather left when he passed away, and the fact that he could finish this university was largely the villagers who raised money to pay.

So after graduation, he refused the invitations from many well-known traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in the province and resolutely returned to this remote village to work as a well-known and young rural doctor. Although the infirmary he opened also operates Western medicine, Han Ankang, who grew up as a grandfather in Tuyuzhong, also learned his grandfather's traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture.

Even if Han Ankang's grandfather passed away, the villagers decided to raise money to support him after finishing college, and to a large extent, they were thanking his grandfather's past favors. Han Ankang, who had been grateful since childhood, refused the invitation from a large hospital outside and returned to the village to take over his grandfather's job, prescribed medicine for the simple people in all corners of the countryside to treat diseases.

Being a doctor in such a poor mountain village is undoubtedly the greatest expectation of villagers to pursue treatment. Therefore, Han Ankang will follow the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions taught by his grandfather and learnt in school. He uses the rich wild Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains behind the village to solve the pain of these villagers.

Because Chinese medicinal materials are made by digging, chopping and drying up, Han Ankang charges at most a fee when charging. For a time, the villagers were full of infinite respect for this young rural doctor. They felt that it was not wasting their good deeds to achieve the child's academic performance.

If you want to say what the poor people are most afraid of, they will definitely rank first in fear of getting sick. Now, Han Ankang, a enthusiastic and sincere doctor, treats them and eliminates disasters, it undoubtedly proves that their donation to support their education was a very proud investment.

Every time the villagers see Han Ankang go to the mountains to collect herbs, they will remind him to be careful in everything. Although the villagers know that Han Ankang is a sensible young man, no one would expect any accidents he would encounter when he enters the mountains. Fortunately, the villagers know that Han Ankang learned to go to the mountains to collect herbs when he was a child. As long as he doesn't go to those rare old forests, with the experience of collecting herbs that Han Ankang has accumulated over the years, I believe that there will be no big problems.

But I have to say that every time the villagers see Han Ankang going to the mountain to collect herbs, if they have not returned in the evening, many young and old men in the village will worry about him. First, they are worried about whether Han Ankang will have any danger in the mountains, and second, they are worried about losing this caring village doctor. In the future, they will have a headache, a fever, and it will be less convenient to treat it now.

Han Ankang naturally knew the concern of the villagers, but he also knew very well how high the risk of entering the old forest to collect herbs. Moreover, when his grandfather was alive, he specifically warned him that spiritual medicines could be collected even if he was destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to be a rare spiritual medicine such as a century-old ginseng.

Carrying the medicine basket, he carefully put the Chinese medicinal materials that could be used as medicine along the way into the medicine basket and put them away. Han Ankang's footsteps gradually moved towards the hinterland of the mountains. Just as he was concentrating on digging the medicinal materials in the mountains, a bird's cry that he hadn't heard for a long time attracted his attention.

When I looked up at the place where the scream came, I found that it was indeed the bird that the herbicide collectors in the mountains most wanted to meet. Why do they say that it is the bird that the herbicide collectors most wanted to meet?

Ginseng bird, also known as Bangmao bird in the local dialect, is said to be the only thing that can be found by following this little bird that feeds on ginseng seeds. It is not necessarily true that those with better luck can even dig into nests to high-quality wild ginseng in higher years.

I never thought that one day I would have the lucky Han Ankang, although I never thought of picking the kind of ginseng that has been rich for a century. But as a good at traditional Chinese medicine, if he could dig some ginseng, it would have a lot of promoting and improving effects on treating some relatively difficult-to-treat stubborn diseases among some villagers.

The reason why ginseng is very rare and expensive is mainly related to its medicinal value. In the early medical book "Shennong Bencao Jing", it was believed that ginseng has the effects of "replenishing the five internal organs, calming the spirit, calming the soul, stopping the palpitations, eliminating evil spirits, improving eyesight and being happy and enhancing intelligence", and "taking it for a long time to relax the body and prolong life."

For thousands of years, ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine has been listed as the "top-quality" medicinal materials. As Chinese people pay more and more attention to health, the value of this high-quality ginseng has been rising all the way. Even though the Changbai Mountains, as the largest ginseng growth area in China, have been crazily excavated by batches of herbicide collectors, it has become difficult to find wild ginseng now, and ginseng with high ages is even more unavailable.

Thinking of this, Han Ankang lost the intention of continuing to collect herbs. He stared at the barmao bird that kept jumping and flying low on the tree, hoping to follow this signifier to find herbs, dig up the ginseng bird of ginseng, and dig up a better-quality ginseng. In this way, the chronic diseases that several elderly people in the village often suffer can be improved in the greatest situation.

With this idea, Han Ankang carefully followed Bangchui for nearly an hour before reaching the edge of a dangerous peak. Just when Han Ankang sighed that this kind of stone mountain that is not even growing in trees should not grow ginseng that is yin-loving. Soon he saw that the slow-flying Bangchui bird suddenly flew to a leeward position on the mountain and stopped there and chirped.

Could it be that there are ginseng?

With this doubt in mind, Han Ankang carefully climbed the steep rock wall and came to the leeward where the Bangmao Bird landed. When he saw that there was a platform of about one square square in the leeward. The plants growing on the platform were the ginseng that he had not found for many years in the mountains, the surprise he was in his heart.

But what made him a little embarrassed was that the platform where ginseng grew was in a semi-hanging state, and the risk of climbing over from where he stood was extremely high, and the consequences would be unimaginable once he stepped on the air. After all, there was a cliff twenty or thirty meters high under the platform, and there were also strange rocks under the cliff, so the possibility of falling to it was extremely low.

But if Han Ankang missed the top wild ginseng that had been in front of him for at least tens or hundreds of years last year, he would probably not be willing to give up. Thinking of the elderly in the village who were tortured by illness for many years, the kind-hearted Han Ankang still gritted his teeth and started climbing. When he finally approached the platform and could touch the ginseng, Han Ankang felt that he was really lucky today.

Because of the hanging medicinal collection, Han Ankang had to free up a hand to hold the stone that bears the weight of his body and carefully dig out several ginseng plants with one hand. As the ginseng trees appeared in front of him, Han Ankang knew that he had made a big profit today. The largest of the five ginseng plants in this nest is at least 100 years old.

The other plants are probably in the fifties and sixty years. Such high-quality wild ginseng can be sold at least for several million. Of course, for Han Ankang, who is engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, he will not sell such good things, but as the treasure of the infirmary.

With these top-quality wild ginseng medicines, he can solve his old problems for many villagers in the village. You must know that it is difficult to buy such good wild ginseng when put outside. Besides, he is single now and stays in the village infirmary to see the villagers all day long. What's the use of so much money?

Just when Han Ankang was happy to solve the stubborn diseases of the elderly, the rocks he had been holding suddenly broke up with the rock wall. Before Han Ankang could react, he felt his whole body fly up. After feeling the intense sting, he turned black and knew nothing.

As Han Ankang fell from a high place, the blood-colored jade Buddha hanging on his chest that could prove his life experience suddenly began to shine with unknown red light until the jade Buddha completely disappeared and turned into a red light. Han Ankang, whose heartbeat was almost stopped, was sucked into Han Ankang, who was still dying just now, but his heartbeat suddenly started to beat violently.
