Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 126 The old man has a bad temper

After sleeping out all night, when I woke up the next day, my throat was really hairy, which was a sign of wind and cold.Zhuifeng collected materials locally, directly found some raw medicines on the mountain, let everyone eat them, then hastily ate some dry food, and set off again.

Residential branches in the mountains are scattered. The so-called Wangjiawan is only said to be accessible by turning over four hills. In fact, it takes a full day to walk. A group of six people climbed over the mountains until noon before turning over the last hill and arriving at Wangjiawan. .

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of residents in Wangjiawan, and what is even more gratifying is that almost every household has planted herbs in front of the door, and dried herbs in the yard.Compared with yesterday, the situation is finally much better.

Zhuifeng asked Lao Huang and the others to split up, and he himself dragged his trembling legs to a house at the head of the village.

An old man in the yard was flipping through herbs, and called out to the wind: "Old man, please open the door, I'm here to buy medicinal seeds."

The old man in the yard was a little deaf, "Huh?" He came over and opened the door, "What are you doing?"

"I'm here to buy medicine seeds. I don't know if the old man sells medicine seeds here?" Zhu Feng replied in a loud voice.

"Medicine? What kind of medicine do you buy?"

"Hay grass, scutellaria baicalensis, shayuanzi, dry pinellia, shegan, do you have any of these?"

The old man reacted for a few moments before nodding his head: "Yes, yes, how much do you want to buy?"

There was ecstasy on Zhufeng's face, "Buy as much as you can, the more the better."

After following the old man into the hospital, Zhufeng asked again: "Old man, besides this Wangjiawan, do you know any other places that have medicinal farmers? I want more."

Without thinking, the old man pointed to a hilltop: "On that mountain, old man Xu's house, he has a lot of medicinal materials, and every year those medicine merchants come to collect medicinal materials, they all run to him."

Zhufeng took a look at the top of the mountain, and he could see the smoke curling up from the kitchen. It must be that the family was cooking lunch.

Two hours later, the six people ran the entire Wangjiawan, and they finally gained a lot. There are more than 6000 different kinds of medicinal plants, and the total amount of medicines is [-] catties.

Finally, while it was still dark, Zhuifeng took Lao Huang and the others to the old man Xu's house on the mountain. When it was dark, he just arrived at the door of old man Xu's house.

A dog outside the yard barked when it saw a stranger.Zhufeng carefully avoided the dog leash, stepped forward and shouted: "Is there anyone in the house?"

The door of the room opened quickly, and a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen came out, holding an oil lamp in her hand, staring at Zhuifeng and the others curiously, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

Chasing the wind cupped his hands and said: "We came from Yinzhou City and wanted to buy some medicine seeds. This is Old Man Xu's house?"

"Grandpa, someone wants to buy medicine seeds." The girl called into the house, and then opened the courtyard door, "Please come in, everyone."

Just as Zhufeng Laohuang and the others walked into the yard, an old man with gray hair came out. It was old man Xu.

Old man Xu saw that Zhuifeng and the others had entered the yard, and glared at his granddaughter reproachfully: "I don't care so much at this age, anyone dares to put it at home in the middle of the night."

The girl was very displeased, "People say they want to buy medicine seeds, I can't shut them out."

Seeing this, Zhu Feng hurried forward to apologize: "Don't worry, old man, I'm not a bad person. I really came here to buy medicine seeds. If you don't believe me, this is a contract I signed with the Wang family." Hand over the book.

The old man Xu really just took the deed and looked carefully at the oil lamp in his granddaughter's hand. After reading it, he said: "You bought a lot, and you haven't bought enough?"

Zhufeng smiled helplessly, "Hey, it's much worse. I don't know how much the old man has here. No matter what kind of medicine, I will buy as much as I have." After all, the fields have been changed by hearts. In fact, it is not necessary to have dry land medicinal materials .

Unexpectedly, the old man Xu had a straight face, "I don't have anything extra here, you can look elsewhere."

Zhu Fengwei was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "The price is easy to negotiate."

"No, no, why are you still entangled." Old man Xu's face darkened, and he frowned in displeasure, "Hurry up and leave, I don't have any medicine seeds to sell."

Unexpectedly, when the words fell, the girl was very puzzled and said: "Grandpa, don't we hide a lot in the kiln?"

As if the old man didn't hear, he continued to urge Zhu Feng to leave quickly.

With the help of the weak light, Zhuifeng took a closer look at Old Man Xu's complexion, and said, "Old man, you are sick."

The old man Xu gave him a cold look, "I know I'm sick, and it has nothing to do with you, so hurry up and leave." Then he couldn't help but push Zhuifeng and others away.

Zhufeng couldn't do anything, so he had to leave the yard, and shouted again: "I am a doctor, and I can cure your illness."

The old man Xu glanced at him, "I am also a doctor, and I can also cure my own illness." Then he slammed the courtyard door and entered the room with his granddaughter.

Old Huang and the others were a little confused, and one of them scolded in a low voice: "This old man is really sick. He doesn't want money when he comes to the door. His granddaughter said that there are medicine seeds, and he lied to us that there are no."

Looking at the dark sky by the wind, the dog next to him barked and his ears hurt again. He didn't want to take the sky as a quilt anymore, so he shouted again:
"Old man, we are not bad people. Even if you don't sell medicine seeds, you will stay with us tonight. It's already dark and we can't go down the mountain." After a pause, he shouted again: "We'll give you money."

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound in the room, and Zhufeng smiled helplessly, "This old man is too guarded against others."

Lao Huang asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhufeng sighed, "Look for a place to sleep, and I'll pester him again tomorrow morning." While talking, he walked around to the back of the house, unexpectedly saw a large medicine field.

Lao Huang and the others were shocked. "So many, are they all from the old man alone? It seems that there is no one else in the room except a granddaughter." Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Look around by the wind, find a haystack, and walk over, "Sleep first, and come to pester him tomorrow morning."

The six simply ate dry food and went to bed early.

The next day when the cock crowed, Zhufeng was kicked on his calves twice before he was fully awake. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw old man Xu standing beside his feet, "Who told you to sleep on my haystack, get out of here!" .”

Chasing the wind quickly got up, and cupped his hands: "It's cold at night, don't worry about borrowing it all night, I don't think it's strange for the old man."

Old man Xu saw that the others were still sleeping, cursed "dead pigs", and went to the field.

Zhufeng felt a little displeased, why is this old man so angry? !
But he didn't have an attack, instead he chased after him and explained: "We climbed the mountain for two days straight, and they are exhausted."

Old man Xu ignored him, and took a small hoe to the medicine field to weed.

Zhufeng squatted down, looked at a few plants, and couldn't help but praise: "These medicines are planted very well."

Old man Xu snorted angrily: "I've been planting medicine all my life, so there's no reason why it's bad."

"You and your granddaughter planted these?" Zhufeng was a little surprised.

Old man Xu didn't respond.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhufeng also pulled up the grass with his bare hands.

Old man Xu frowned again, and was about to reprimand him for leaving the grass roots in the field, but saw that he was using his hands skillfully, even though the field was dry, the grass was uprooted, so he swallowed the reprimand.

Zhufeng said while pulling weeds: "Your illness is caused by years of fatigue, you need to take good care of yourself, and you should not be tired anymore, otherwise your body will soon be overwhelmed."

The old man Xu hoeed very vigorously, panting after a few hoes, he stopped for a while, looked at the huge medicine field, and after a long time, he murmured, "I am 85 this year, and if I take care of it, how many more will I have?" Live at the beginning of the year."
