Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 215 Establishing the Autumn Protection Team

In those days, under normal circumstances, there were Qiu Protecting Teams everywhere.

However, the natural environment in some places is not that complicated. It is either a flat field of crops or there are not many wild animals nearby.The Autumn Protection Team there is more of a show-off. At most they patrol for thieves or something like that. On weekdays, they just wander around holding a flag and that's enough work.

But where is Pushan Township?

This place is backed by Funiu Mountain and surrounded by Baihe River. It is either a mountain forest or a river chain. They are all undeveloped wastelands with many snakes, insects, ants and beasts.

Going into the mountains, you can even see musk deer, leopards, black bears, and in the early years, even tigers.

In autumn, wild boars are the main culprit that damages crops, but this does not mean that there are no other wild animals.

Here, the autumn guard team is really a guard team that protects the crops. In addition to driving during the day, they also need to patrol in the dark at night.Although there are more tools now, and if necessary, you can even bring a homemade shotgun, but it is not known how effective that thing can be against wild boars.

In addition, the local area has banned poaching for a long time, and it is difficult to find even an experienced hunter who is familiar with the habits of wild animals in the village.Is it really not dangerous for a bunch of young educated youths without anyone to take them with them?

However, it has been decided from above, and Wang Chengzhou, a village health worker, cannot change the decision-making of the brigade.

Dangdang!
Sure enough, not long after, the big bell at the end of the village rang, probably to organize a meeting for the Qiu Protecting Team.

When Chen Weihong heard this, he pushed the car and was about to leave.When he was about to go out, he smiled and asked Wang Chengzhou if he wanted to give him a ride.

Who cares about riding on a broken bicycle?

Wang Chengzhou curled his lips, retracted his reluctant eyes, and led Si Ya, who was watching the excitement, to gather at the entrance of the brigade courtyard.

Chen Weihong's information was really accurate. The village got straight to the point and directly proposed that a few knowledgeable comrades be given priority to participate in the work of protecting the autumn.

The young and old men are not stupid. After spending more than half a year together, they have seen how virtuous they are in their work. Naturally, most people agree.

However, looking at the few educated youth comrades who were cheering and cheering as if they were getting a huge advantage, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.

These people from the city are idiots, and they probably treat the work of protecting autumn as an outing.

Obviously, the brigade also considered this situation and proposed to let the villagers take the initiative to sign up.The difference is that those who are strong and experienced will be given priority.

It was obvious that she was working as a nanny for a group of young men and women, and no one was willing to raise their hands for a long time.

At this moment, the village chief Wang Tielin walked out with a straight face. He first said a few words of excitement, and then started to pick people, "Wang Chengzhou!"

To everyone's surprise, the first person picked out turned out to be Wang Chengzhou.

You know, over the past six months, after several major events, his prestige in the village has increased, almost second only to Wang Tielin and Wang Yutang, and he has even become a prominent figure in the entire Wang family production brigade.

Why would you choose him for such a thankless task?
Everyone was surprised, but Wang Chengzhou felt like a mirror.Even Wang Aiduo pouted his little mouth angrily when he saw his own brother being singled out, but he couldn't help but want to laugh in his big eyes.

Looking at Wang Tielin's blaming face, the whole family probably understood what was going on.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu lowered their heads and grinned, looking both amused and helpless.

It was obvious that as the months passed, Little Pepper's belly had begun to take shape... anyone who was not blind could tell that she was pregnant.

I still recall that at that time, Wang Tielin went to his house in person at night in order to beg Wang Chengzhou to give his daughter an abortion, and even lent him the team's big green mule. In exchange, Wang Caiyun's belly grew bigger day by day.As a father, he was inexplicably promoted to grandpa, so it would be strange if he didn't feel resentful.

No, he was so angry that he openly put on Wang Chengzhou's shoes.

But he is the village chief, and a small commune member has no right to refuse, let alone refute him in front of the whole village.

Furthermore, for Little Pepper, he had already anticipated this day. After weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to help this upright and fierce sister-in-law.

Therefore, there was never any fear of revenge from their family.

In addition to Wang Chengzhou, the village also picked a thorny head named Wang Chuan.This man was in his thirties, with a powerful appearance and a greasy black beard. At first glance, he looked like the hero in the painting.

However, if people who are familiar with him heard this description, they would probably curl their lips in disgust.Otherwise, the main reason is that this person is too careful, even to the point of being ancient.

I remember there was a movie about a miser who had a piece of pickle hanging on his dining table. He could only look at it but not eat it. The whole family sat around and ate while smelling the smell.

I ate a piece of spicy pimple for half my life, and passed it on to my son at the end of my life, asking him to preserve it from generation to generation.

Wang Chuan is on par with this person.

On weekdays, I was reluctant to buy anything. I borrowed salt from my employer and vinegar from my employer. Even though I was a big man, I didn't mind being shabby. I would even scratch a vegetable leaf.

I heard that one time, his wife couldn't stand the thirst anymore, so she ran to the commune to watch someone fry fried dough sticks.I stood there and looked at it over and over, but I just didn’t want to buy it.

After his hands were covered with oil, he hurried home, rinsed them in water, and boiled a pot of green vegetables.

At noon, Wang Fan came back from work. He sat down and tasted it. He was shocked and asked his wife why the dish was so fragrant.His wife then happily told how she took advantage of others.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Chuan heard this, he became furious and beat his wife with a stick.

When the neighbors heard the cry, they came over to persuade him. After understanding the cause and effect, they thought he had finally shown off, and knew that his wife was embarrassing herself by doing this.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fan stared at his eyes, still angry, and said viciously: "You prodigal bitch! Your hands are full of oil. If you save it and rinse it in the water a few times, we can Can’t we just eat a few more meals?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Because he is a miser and always likes to take advantage, he has a bad reputation in the village.If he is singled out as the scapegoat, no one will say anything.Finally, the candidate for Wangjiacun was decided.

Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong, Xu Wannian, Yu Hua, the four educated youths plus Wang Chengzhou and Wang Wei, a total of six people, combined with the candidates selected from Yanggao Village and Shuixi Village, formed the autumn protection team of the Wang family production brigade.

On the way back, a few guys were extremely excited and said with emotion:

"Wang Chengzhou, the team finally gave us preferential treatment."

"That's right! We are all intellectuals from the city. It's not a waste of our talents to dig into the fields all day long."

"Guarding the Autumn Team! Just hearing the name makes me happy. By the way, since we left school, how long has it been since we went on an outing?"

"Ah, autumn, the harvest season, here we come!"

The three guys even expressed their feelings.

Yu Hua snickered on the side and said with a hint of regret:
"Hey, it's a pity that Xiaozhi can't follow."

"Since she helped the team sell tofu, our team's tofu sales have increased significantly, and they are almost sold to the production team next door. She is really inseparable from the tofu shop."

"Otherwise, we can find Uncle Changsheng to intercede and give her a few days off. It would be a pity."

Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong, and Xu Wannian nodded, then sighed.

It seems that Xu Xiaozhi, a rich girl who is cute on the outside but shady secretly, is about to become a heartthrob, and I personally have a crush on her.

However, it’s better not to let her have to deal with this kind of thing...

Wang Chengzhou quickly changed the topic and warned meaningfully:
"You guys really treat protecting autumn as an outing?"

"If the Autumn Guarding Team is really that simple, why were the people in the village unwilling to sign up just now?"

"Also, haven't you heard any news?"

Several people were stunned.

Diao Qingsong scratched his head and said carelessly:
"The reason why everyone is reluctant to sign up is probably because they want to save face and can't enjoy leisure time as calmly as we do, right?"

"After all, we are useless scholars."

"Hahaha!"

After saying that, he burst into embarrassing laughter.

Wang Chengzhou glanced at him and said to himself: You boy is somewhat self-aware.

Zhao Yu pushed up his glasses, frowned and asked, "Wang Chengzhou, what's the news?"

Yu Hua tucks the short hair around his ears and looks over together.

"In the morning, a group of wild boars broke into the crop fields of Yanggao Village and injured a commune member. It took Wang Jianguo to deal with it for a while before the bleeding was stopped."

"What? Boar!"

Several people shouted in unison, their eyes widening.

"No way? Aren't wild boars only found in the Funiu Mountains? Do they dare to go to the boundary where humans live?"

"Wild boars hurt people?"

"We also thought that the Autumn Guard Team might be responsible for driving away wild beasts, but aren't wild beasts timid? We should scare them away by shouting a few times!"

Wang Chengzhou glanced at her and said to himself: Sister, those you are talking about are pets in the zoo.

Beast, beast, if there is no wildness, what else is a beast?
That thing is so fierce that it doesn't matter whose territory it belongs to.

Especially in autumn, many wild beasts have the habit of storing food for the winter. In order to survive the desolate and severe winter, each of them eats himself fat and strong.

It is common for wild animals to invade areas where humans live in search of food.

"You shouldn't have to worry too much about this, right?"

Yu Hua was still comforting himself, "As far as I know, there are four educated youth comrades in Yanggao Village, two boys and two girls; there are also four in Shuixi Village, three boys and one girl. In total, there are more than ten of us. , are you still afraid of any wild beasts?"

"Yes!"

Xu Wannian spoke up, "I heard that the team will also distribute weapons to us. Not to mention muskets, even if one person carries a spear, aren't those beasts just meat coming to our door?"

When talking about meat, the eyes of several educated youths glowed green.

"exactly!"

Diao Qingsong swallowed, moved closer and said, "When we joined the patrol last time, we heard that wild boar meat is very delicious, and it grows fat and strong. If you get one, you won't be able to finish it for several months! "
