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

Chapter 301 The moment of last resort
After hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter.

Especially the group of older girls and younger wives, their branches were trembling with laughter and their faces were flushed.They had problems with Wang Zhiguo in the first place, but when they saw him coming out to do misfortune, they all said in a strange manner:
"Is Zhiguo anxious to get a wife? That's not right. Don't you already have a sweetheart? We should be men. If we like it, we will go for it. How can we shrink back after a slight setback?"

"Wang Zhiguo, have you ever thought that maybe it's not the reason why Wangjiacun doesn't like you that a girl likes you?"

"My hands are not slipping and I am complaining about the sleeves of my coat. I look dirty and unpopular with others, and I also blame the flowers and butterflies for not surrounding you. You should stop saying stupid things that make your aunts angry, and they will not be willing to give you anything." Do you do the matchmaking?”

Wang Zhiguo originally wanted to use his father's reputation to show off his prestige, but he really underestimated the extent to which he would be disliked by the villagers. He was teased by a bunch of older girls and younger wives until his face turned red and he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth. .

However, the shrewd behavior of these little girls also caused dissatisfaction from some people.

Especially Wang Yunshan and Wang Dalong, they are relatively outstanding among the younger generation in Wangjia Village, but they have not yet settled down to get married.

Seeing Wang Zhiguo recruiting people to besiege them, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for each other, and stood up angrily and shouted:

"We think Wang Zhiguo is right! It's because our village is too poor that many young talents in the village are still unable to marry. We are not afraid of the jokes of the old and young men. It is because of this that the marriage between the two of us is dirty. Understand."

"Originally everything was fine, and the girl was happy in her heart, but as soon as she heard that she was from Wangjia Village, she immediately started to change her face. People from other villages made up a jingle to ridicule our place, what's the saying, 'Wang family, Wang family, marry an old man? If you don’t have enough to eat, you’ll be croaking all night long!”

"You think, what can we do? If we don't plant more land and raise more food, our next generation will be gone. We will all be wiped out. Who cares what our ancestors think!"

These two people were really anxious, jumping around and saying silly things, making everyone laugh.

But he was smiling but stopped laughing...and in the blink of an eye, there was silence.

Wangjia Village has an awkward geographical location with very little arable land.Moreover, either the Baihe River is overflowing or the wild boars are raging, making it impossible to have a peaceful life all year round.

The little daughter-in-law who has been married is always looked down upon by her sisters when she returns to her parents' home.

Otherwise, when Wang Chengzhou led the Autumn Protection Team to hunt wild boars and share the meat with everyone, there wouldn’t be so many young wives returning to their parents’ homes overnight to visit relatives.

Is that a relative?That was because he was carrying the meat back to prove himself, anxious to give himself a reputation, hoping that his parents and brothers would look down upon him!
Who can laugh at the thought of this?
Many parents got red-eyed just thinking about it. In order for their daughter-in-law to have a place, they risked their lives. They stood up and shouted:

"We support deforestation and land reclamation!"

"If nothing else, I have to let the poor people from other villages see that we young and old men in Wangjiacun are not without ambition!"

"No matter what, we have to bring out more food so that the girls from other villages can look up to us. Otherwise, when Wangjia Village becomes a bachelor's village, let alone let our ancestors live in peace, they won't crawl out of their graves and strangle us to death." We unworthy descendants are all good!"

These words reached everyone's heart. Many people stood up, raised their arms and shouted along, and the crowd was filled with excitement.

“Deforestation and land reclamation!”

“Deforestation and land reclamation!”

“Deforestation and land reclamation!”

The shouts made all the educated youths change their expressions in fright.City dwellers like them never imagine how much poverty affects a person.

Under such turbulent public opinion, let alone asking them to stand up and dissuade them, it is considered courageous to dare to stand up.

A smile immediately appeared on Party Secretary Bai Houping's face.

Wang Tielin was even more relieved, feeling that as long as this matter was done properly, his prestige in the village would be the same for a while.Even if he retires in the future, his son Wang Jianguo will still be able to become the leader of Wangjia Village with the respect of the young and old men.

The two looked at each other, laughed together, raised their hands and pressed them down, preparing to make the final speech, encouraging everyone to start cutting down the wood immediately.Unexpectedly, an unexpected voice sounded.

"I don't support deforestation for land reclamation."

Wang Chengzhou stood up and said something calmly.The sound was not loud, but it silenced the whole place.

Everyone looked in disbelief. They didn't understand why he wanted to block something that was beneficial to the whole village, and they didn't believe that this sentence would come out of his mouth.

Today is different from the past. Wang Chengzhou, like Wang Yutang, has become a benchmark for two generations of Wangjia Village and has high prestige.More importantly, he has superb medical skills and a kind heart, which has brought tangible benefits to the young and old men in the village.It is a ray of hope in this poor mountain village with a poor reputation.

But now, he said something that prevented everyone from getting rich together.This is very inappropriate!

"Chengzhou, you...you..."

There was silence all around. Wang Wuhe stood up, his eyes were slightly red, and he really didn't know what to say.From the bottom of his heart, he liked this junior who saved his life. In the past, he would cheer for him no matter what he did, supporting him without any bottom line.But this time, he felt embarrassed for the first time.

"Chengzhou, what...what's going on? Deforestation to open up wasteland is a good thing! Didn't you pay attention to the big guys' analysis just now? Our village is poor, whether it is to live a better life or to let the big guys If we all can get a wife, we must cut down these pine trees!"

"Yes, what is there to object to? Usually, everyone supports you, and you can always bring benefits to young and old men. But this time, are you a little careless?"

"Chengzhou, I have already had successful experience in other villages. If we learn from each other, we will definitely not have any problems. When we all plant more land and earn more money, I can afford to see you for medical treatment in the future. It’s time to pay!”

Everyone was excited and stood up together to persuade him.

However, the faces of Party Secretary Bai Houping and Village Chief Wang Tielin turned gloomy, and they stared at him with their eyes raised, hating him very much for standing up and causing trouble.

Wang Zhiguo became even more furious, jumping on his feet and cursing:
"Wang Chengzhou, don't you want to see young and old gentlemen?"

"I knew you were a villain from the beginning! Not only did you snatch away the beautiful female educated youth, but you also went to hook up with the older girls from other villages, and even harmed the mute granddaughter of Lao Luantou in the back mountain. You are simply not people!"

"Several women like movie stars are surrounding you, and you are very proud of yourself, but young people of your generation in the village can't even get a wife! We want to rely on our own hard work to earn more money, so that we can be easy to please in the future. Daughter-in-law, what are your intentions in blocking me?"

This kid judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. After inciting him, many people's expressions changed, they lowered their heads and whispered, and their eyes began to change.Xu Xiaozhi didn't expect that this person was so annoying that he actually pulled her out and whipped her in front of the whole village. Her little face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She noticed that the eyes of men, women and children were roving back and forth between herself and Wang Chengzhou, biting her Wearing red lips, I felt really anxious.

But inexplicably, she doesn't seem to be particularly resistant to the fact that she has become Wang Chengzhou's woman in the eyes of everyone...

Seeing the ambiguous expression on the face of this sweet and beautiful young educated girl, the young and old men immediately believed Wang Zhiguo's words in their hearts, and each of them became angry, staring at Wang Chengzhou with a bit of anger in their eyes.

Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere, Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu couldn't sit still for a while, and were filled with nervousness, fearing that their son would become the target of public criticism.

Bai Houping and Wang Tielin couldn't help but look at each other, then looked at Wang Zhiguo who was blocking the table, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, this kid really played a role at the critical moment, and he brought back the public opinion in just a few words.

"Zhiguo, why do you blame Wang Chengzhou for your inability to marry?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a slightly unruly voice sounded, unhurried and graceful, with grace and quality, "Can you listen to what I have to say? Can you let me finish my objections before making a conclusion? Can you?" Can’t you make me feel ashamed of you?”

This series of rhetorical questions was like a roaring tsunami, which made Wang Zhiguo's lips turn blue. His momentum immediately dropped, and he stammered: "Sister...sister?"

Sure enough, a beautiful figure slowly stood up from the crowd. Her belly was slightly bulging, but it did not hinder her overall majesty.She even looks more like a mature woman, soft but powerful.

It is Pepper King Caiyun.

No one expected that she would stand up to support Wang Chengzhou in front of her own father and brothers, and they were all dumbfounded.Moreover, she spoke clearly and with great momentum, which instantly made everyone wake up.

Yes, Wang Chengzhou just said that he did not support deforestation and land reclamation, but he didn't have time to explain why.All unfounded speculations were made by that boy Wang Zhiguo. How can you believe them?

Before taking a stand, you should at least hear someone else explain why, right?

Moreover, why does Wang Caiyun support Wang Chengzhou so much?

The guys sat back one by one, staring at the two young men and women in the field, and started talking in whispers.

Different from the reaction of everyone in the audience, young and old, their moods softened, and some people's eyes immediately widened.

Party secretary Bai Houping looked stunned and glanced at Wang Tielin next to him in confusion, as if questioning him, wanting to hear his explanation as to why his daughter would support an outsider to mess with his own brother?

Facing his gaze, Wang Tielin felt like there were ants crawling all over his body, his face was ashen, wrinkles seemed to be carved out by knives, his teeth were clenching, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Sister Caiyun."

Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and shouted sweetly.

Wang Caiyun nodded without saying anything. He held his belly and slowly sat back, leaving the venue for him to perform.

The entire venue fell silent, and the young and old men had recovered from their anger. However, their eyes became more determined, wanting to hear what reasons he would have for preventing a village of people from getting rich.

“The reason why I don’t support deforestation for land reclamation is because the pine and cypress trees that everyone considers useless are actually more valuable than the crops that cannot be harvested even if they are reclaimed due to drought or flood!”

Wang Chengzhou rarely spoke like this. Today, he was so sad that he wanted to explain everything clearly in one sentence.Ignoring the commotion of the crowd, he continued:

"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The pines and cypresses on the hillocks were planted by the ancestors of the village for generations. It is not easy to grow to this day. What is particularly important is that they are not useless wood, but can bring benefits to everyone. Good material for huge economic benefits!”

"Rosin, listed as a top-grade drug in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", is bitter in taste and warm in nature. It is mainly used for carbuncles, gangrene, malignant sores, head ulcers, white baldness, and scabies. It calms the five internal organs and removes heat. It is also a kind of A health product that strengthens the body and delays aging.”

"Baishi is also listed as a top-grade medicine in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". It is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It treats palpitations, soothes the five internal organs, replenishes qi, and removes rheumatism. Long-term use makes people moisturized and beautiful, and makes the ears and eyes bright."

"These are two medicinal materials with very wide uses. And they are produced on the hillock at the end of our village, from the pine and cypress trees you want to destroy. These things can all be sold for money in the future. If it is specially prepared, it can even be sold for a big price! Its benefits are definitely not comparable to planting dozens of acres of withered sweet potatoes and wheat!"

Wang Chengzhou was a little excited when he spoke, and even recited the original text from "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".I thought everyone would not understand, but unexpectedly, the place was completely silent.

After a while, everyone recovered from the shock and discussed eagerly:

"What? Wang Chengzhou said that the pine trees on the hillock can produce medicinal materials? Can the medicinal materials be sold at a high price?"

"I guess... look at how angry Xiao Chengzhou is! He must be feeling sorry for something and thinks we are prodigal sons! And how can those things like rosin and cypress be cured? So many diseases? What are those diseases?"

"You ask me who should I ask? Anyway, it's just that it's very effective. None of us know what he's capable of, but he's very powerful! If he says he can cure diseases, then he must be able to cure diseases!"

Some gentlemen gathered together and talked in low voices.

The eyes of the older girls and younger daughters-in-law were even wider, and their little fists were clenched.If what Wang Xiucai said is true, then Wangjiacun is guarding a treasure!The hillock at the head of the village probably covers several hundred acres, and it is densely covered with pine and cypress trees. If the rosin and cedar can be sold for money, I can make money without having to do any work!

There is no need to take care of the pine and cypress trees. Isn’t this equivalent to picking up money for nothing?

At that time, no one will care about which village has more arable land. Our village can make money without digging the earth for a kiln. Which of you can do that?

The more everyone thought about it, the more excited they became, and they could hardly sit still.

However, there are still some people who are calmer.Typical ones are the old ladies in the village and the young men who are eager to get a wife.

They were stunned for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Wang Chengzhou, you said those rosin and cypress can be sold for money. Why don't you lead the guys to pick and sell them now?"
