Chapter 43: Mr. Gu, an older left-behind child

Views:

Yesterday Ming Wuxiang contacted Lao Qi and agreed that the herb seedlings he had ordered would be delivered the next morning. Ming Wuxiang had just finished his breakfast when he received a call from Lao Qi.

Ming Wuxiang told Gu Tang that when he walked outside the village, he saw a light truck with Lao Qi sitting on the co-pilot.

"Seventh Uncle, why are you here?" Seeing that Seventh Uncle was also in the car, Ming Wuxiang walked a few steps faster.

"Xiaoxiang, Uncle Qi must keep an eye on the herb seedlings you want all the time." Lao Qi got out of the car and said to Ming Wuxiang with a smile.

Hearing the caring meaning in Uncle Qi's words, this relationship has been inherited without a trace. When Ming Wuxiang and Seventh Uncle went to the back of the light truck to check the medicinal herb seedlings, Li Yangxin, Li Jiahua and Li Jiaye who followed along to join in the fun also arrived.

Ming Wuxiang saw the village chief coming, and greeted him: "Grandpa village chief, the medicinal herb seedlings have arrived, please ask those who help grow the medicinal herbs to gather at the foot of the back mountain."

"Okay." Knowing that the herb seedlings arrived today, Ming Wuxiang contacted the village head to help find someone to grow the medicinal materials. If Ming Wuxiang was the only one, he didn't know how long he would be busy.

The last time Ming Wuxiang asked someone to clean up the mountain, he gave a lot of money. This time, he asked someone to grow herbs. He didn't need the village chief to say anything at all.

Although the villagers in Luoye Village haven't grown many medicinal herbs, they think that growing medicinal herbs is not much different from growing food. They are all good at the field, so there will be no problem.

The village chief went to call for someone, Li Jiahua and Li Jiaye stopped following, and the two brothers stuck to Ming Wuxiang's side, looking curiously at the herb seedlings behind the truck.

Li Jiaye, who was interested in medicinal materials, would ask Ming Wuxiang what medicinal materials they were, how to plant them, etc. from time to time. The two big ones and one small one didn't dislike it either, and climbed directly to the back of the truck, carefully avoiding the herb seedlings on the truck.

Lao Qi, who was in the passenger seat, heard Li Jiaye asking Ming Wuxiang in an immature voice, and couldn't help but smiled and turned to Li Jiaye and said, "Not bad, the basic knowledge of the kid is very solid."

Being praised, Li Jiaye couldn't help showing a big smile to Lao Qi. However, the kid who was in the period of changing teeth lost a front tooth. He just smiled and then realized it. He immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his eyes flickered. change.

Seeing Li Jiaye's actions, Li Jiahua on the side laughed, "Niuba, at such a young age, you actually learn to love beauty."

"Da Niu, at your age, don't you also love to be smug!"

Come on, the two brothers got into a fight, until the light truck drove to the foot of the back mountain, their mouths didn't stop, not only the old seven was laughing, the driver in charge of the car almost couldn't help laughing.

Although there is no regular road in the back mountain, the villagers are used to walking the same way up the mountain, so the way up the mountain is not bad, so Ming Wuxiang likes to take the path close to his house every time he goes up the mountain.

Xiao Ka stopped, Ming Wuxiang jumped out of the car, and saw the villagers who had invited to help plant the herb seedlings waiting in the car.

Li Yangxin saw Ming Wuxiang jumping off the truck, pointed to the villagers behind him, and said to Ming Wuxiang: "Xiaoxiang, these people should be enough, right?"

"Should be enough."

There are a lot of medicinal herb seedlings, but these are just one batch, because of seasonal climate and other issues, not all medicinal herb seedlings are suitable for transplanting. Of course, this is the case for ordinary medicine fields. The back mountain where the spirit gathering array is set up will not be affected by the seasonal climate at all.

Without Ming Wuxiang's instructions, the villagers who helped each other carried the baskets on their backs, and carefully transferred the medicinal herb seedlings on the truck into the baskets.

While watching the villagers busy, Li Yangxin said to Ming Wuxiang with a hesitant tone: "Xiao Xiang, this road, many of you should repair it."

Ming Wuxiang bought the back mountain and used it to grow medicinal herbs. Of course, Li Yangxin hopes that the medicinal materials grown by Mingwuxiang can be sold well, so that both Mingwuxiang and Luoye Village will benefit.

The saying that if you want to get rich, you need to build roads first is really true. If the roads in Luoye Village allow the villagers to walk, there is no problem. Small cars are also fine, but it is really too reluctant to use big cars. The same is true for the back roads, which are all dirt roads. When it rains, no one walks at all.

"I'm also thinking about the issue of road construction. The back mountain will be repaired, and the villagers in the village need to ask the village head grandpa to help communicate."

Ming Wuxiang knew what Li Yangxin meant, although he was going to take the high-quality route for the medicinal materials in the back mountain, but Ming Wuxiang didn't mind driving the villagers to get rich together.

Not to mention that even if he sets up a spirit lock array in the future to prevent the aura of the back mountain from leaking out, the changes in the land will still affect the deciduous village, and the land around the deciduous village and the back mountain will become better and better. Either way, it’s better to plant medicinal materials.

The quality of the things grown on this land will not be too bad, so if they want to sell them, roads must be repaired.

"Hehe, don't worry, Xiaoxiang. You don't need to spend money on the roads in the village. The village committee will bear it." Li Yangxin said with a smile after hearing this.

The villagers of Luoye Village are not short-sighted, and they know that building roads is good for them, especially when they see that the medicinal materials planted by Ming Wuxiang have improved, the villagers must know how to do it is the most suitable.

When Ming Wuxiang was talking to Li Yangxin, those medicinal herb seedlings had already been packaged by the villagers. Medicinal herbs are not planted casually, where they are to be planted, they must be directed by Ming Wuxiang. Ming Wuxiang set off directly to lead the way. Lao Qi, who was standing not far from him, heard the conversation between Ming Wuxiang and the village chief just now.

He couldn't help but glance at the village head of Luoye Village, and nodded in satisfaction.

Before, he was worried that Ming Wuxiang, the only adult left in the Ming family, would be bullied by the villagers in the village, but when he observed how the villagers got along with Ming Wuxiang, he showed a relieved smile.

The villagers of Luoye Village he came into contact with alone gave him a good feeling. The most important thing is that there is a sensible village head in Luoye Village, that's the most important thing.

"Master Dao, Brother Gu is not together today." Li Jiahua, who couldn't sit still, just joined in the fun when the villagers were distributing medicinal herb seedlings. If no one would give him a basket, I suspect that this guy would also carry a basket.

"Do you think the road behind the mountain is suitable for him?" Ming Wu rolled his eyes at Li Jiahua.

"So Brother Gu was left at home again today?"

Ming Wuxiang heard Li Jiahua muttering in a low voice, glanced at him silently, and at the same time admired his courage, who would dare to say that about Mr. Gu, as if Mr. Gu was like those poor left-behind children.

I don't know what I thought of, and Ming Wuxiang also had a smile in his eyes. Mr. Gu, who has limited mobility, seems to be often left at home by him.

Li Jiahua was there, chatting and laughing all the way, and soon came to the place where Ming Wuxiang had arranged to plant medicinal herbs, and the first planted was licorice.

Licorice is flat in nature, sweet in taste, has detoxification, expectorant, pain relief and other effects.

Lao Qi, who came with him, was satisfied when he saw the place where Ming Wuxiang chose to plant licorice. Those villagers who helped out didn't talk nonsense, put down the baskets, took out licorice seedlings from the baskets, and listened to Ming Wuxiang's arrangement, dug holes and planted them.

Ming Wuxiang did not wait for the villagers to finish planting the licorice before moving to the second planting site. Before leaving, he asked the village chief to take care of it. Planting according to the distance he drew would be fine. If there is any problem, please call him.

The second medicinal material planted is Jiulong root, which is also one of the medicinal materials used to treat Gu Tang's legs.

Jiulong root has the effects of dispelling rheumatism and promoting blood qi, and can also treat bruises, rheumatic bone pain and other diseases.

However, Lao Qi looked at the place where Ming Wuxiang chose to plant the Nine Dragon Roots, and frowned slightly, but seeing Ming Wuxiang's serious expression, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts.

There are three necessary elixir medicines for Gu Tang's legs, one of which is Nine Dragon Root, the other is Scrophulariaceae, and the last one is Crossing River Dragon.

The villagers only knew some common medicinal materials, and Lao Qi, who was in charge of the traditional Chinese medicine store, saw Ming Wuxiang's planting arrangements becoming more and more difficult to understand, and finally couldn't help it, and asked.

"Xiao Xiang, those planting arrangements of yours..."

Of course Ming Wuxiang knew why Uncle Qi asked this question. The combination of certain herbs looks very strange, especially some herbs are mutually restraining. Ming Wuxiang actually planted them together. Because of this, Lao Qi couldn’t help Keep your mouth shut.

"Uncle Seven, don't worry, the planting arrangement is fine." Seeing that Uncle Seven wanted to persuade him, Ming Wuxiang had to find an excuse, "I read it in an ancient medical book written by my grandfather, so the mixed planting would be more difficult. better."

Hearing that it was read in old master Ming's ancient medical book, Lao Qi frowned, but thinking that the Ming family's medical skills were passed down from family, although it is not surprising that there is such a record, but... In the end, Lao Qi endured it and did not try to persuade him again. .

He can only think in his heart, if these herbs don't grow, he will see if there is any way to help Ming Wuxiang.

Ming Wuxiang didn't know Lao Qi's thoughts. He planted it like this, of course, because of the attributes of these herbs. As he said, with the Spirit Gathering Formation, it is more suitable to plant those herbs.

When it was noon, Ming Wuxiang told the villagers who were helping to go home for dinner and rest before continuing. He had already told the villagers about the planting arrangements in the morning, and he didn't need to keep watching in the afternoon. With the guy here, he doesn't have to go to the back mountain anymore.

"Master Dao, it's pitiful to leave brother Gu alone at home. I'll leave it to my brother. If there's anything I can't handle in the afternoon, brother, I'll call you."

Don't look at what Li Jiahua said so passionately, but Ming Wuxiang thinks that it's fake to help, but it's true to want to be lazy.

I don't know what's the matter with the village chief, anyway, Li Jiahua was arrested yesterday as a coolie, if it wasn't for Ming Wuxiang who happened to find someone to plant herbs today, I suspect that Li Jiahua would definitely not be able to escape the coolie work.

Ming Wuxiang thought that there was still a piece of wool in the white jade space that hadn't been untied, so he took it out in the afternoon, "Okay, you can watch it for me here in the back mountain, and call me if you have anything to do."

"No problem, no problem, but Master Dao, do you feel that the air in the mountain behind your house is getting better? I ran around here, and I'm not tired at all, but I feel more and more energetic."

Ming Wuxiang glanced at Li Jiahua, he didn't expect this guy to be so sensitive, the formation was just set up yesterday, although the aura started to condense slowly, ordinary people may not necessarily feel it at the beginning.

"Of course the air in the mountain behind my house is good, if it's over, I'm leaving."

"Okay, let's get back in touch."
