Once upon a time, there was a hunter named Ding Hai in Dongling Village. There was also an old mother in the village.

One day Ding Hai was hunting in the mountains and saw a red fox. The fox was injured and passed out on the ground. Ding Hai was very happy and carried it home. After returning home, the fox also woke up and knelt down in front of Ding Hai, leaving two lines of tears. At that time, Ding Hai's mother saw it and couldn't bear to let Ding Hai release the fox. Ding Hai usually listened to his mother's words and opened the door to let the fox go.

But just as the fox was about to leave, he suddenly vomited blood and passed out on the ground. The mother had some medical skills, so she carried the fox into the house and made herbs to treat the fox. After a while, the fox recovered.

When the mother saw that the fox had recovered from its injuries, she took the fox to the mountain and asked it to leave quickly. She also asked not to let other hunters catch it, otherwise it would be a dead end. The fox nodded gratefully and looked at Ding Hai's mother and walked away.

After five years, Ding Hai's mother suddenly fell seriously ill. She made herbal medicine for herself after the diagnosis, but it didn't work. She had to invite a skilled doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.

Thousand-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, and even if you have money, it is difficult to buy it. His mother gave Ding Hai everything after his death. Unexpectedly, the next day Ding Hai just opened the door and saw a ginseng outside the door. Ding Hai was very strange and quickly invited Langzhong again. Lang Zhong said at a glance that this is the thousand-year-old ginseng. Ding Hai quickly made medicine for his mother, and after taking the ginseng, the medicine was cured, and his mother was cured.

One day, after Ding Hai had finished hunting, he went to the market to sell it. I heard someone discussing, and a businessperson said, "The ginseng market is really good now! The price has gone up several times! One tael is sold for ten dollars!" Another person said: "This is only in a hundred years, if you encounter a thousand-year ginseng, you can't buy it for thousands of taels!"

Ding Haiji secretly said in his heart, "If the old mother ate less last time, she would be rich this time!" He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but then he thought, "This thousand-year-old ginseng must not be found by ordinary people, and even if he finds it, who can put it at my door?" Thinking about it, he remembered the spiritual fox he saved five years ago, and the ginseng must have been sent by the fox to repay his kindness.

After making up his mind, he went up the mountain the next day. When he came to the place where he had found the fox the last time, he shouted: "Fox Immortal, Fox Immortal, please, save my mother!"

Not long after, the fox appeared in front of him. The fox bit Ding Hai's shirt lightly as if to lead the way. Ding Hai quickly followed the fox.

After arriving at the destination, Ding Hai found that the ground was full of thousand-year-old ginseng. Each one was as big as a radish. I saw that the fox bowed three times to a towering ancient tree and then took a ginseng to Ding Hai.

Ding Hai thanked him and hurried down the mountain. After a few days, Ding Hai came to the market and sold the ginseng to a merchant for a total of 3,000 taels of silver.

This time Ding Hai was very happy. He used three thousand taels of silver to buy a big house in the town and took his mother over. From then on, he became a rich family and bid farewell to the hard hunting life.

After a few months, Ding HiSilicon thought about it and felt that he still didn't earn enough money, so he had to make more money. So he organized a group of people to go to the place where he dug the ginseng last time. Ding Hai said to these people: "You dig well! I will give you 100 taels of silver for digging out a ginseng! But don't steal it for me, I am blessed by the mountain god here, if you offend me, you will not have good fruit to eat!" Those people had never seen this battle, but in order to appreciate the silver, they also believed that what Ding Hai said was true, so they began to dig up ginseng with great fanfare.

In less than half a day, the ginseng was almost empty, and Ding Hai was thinking about the good days in the future. Suddenly the wind was strong, and a towering ancient tree went crazy like a beast. The branches and leaves swung wildly like ropes, tying everyone present tightly together.

Ding Hai was tightly strangled by the neck. Before he died, he saw the red fox looking at them not far away. Ding Hai quickly waved his hands and begged the fox to save him, but the fox just shook his head and left.

After a while, everyone present died in Huangquan, and it was not discovered until a few days later. The thousand-year-old ginseng on the ground has also disappeared.

After Ding Hai's mother learned of her son's death, she cried out in grief.
