Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 536 Catching the Centipede

Cheng He pedaled very slowly. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he rode wherever he went, and the slower speed was more stable.

Sitting in the back, Bai Qian felt that her speed was about the same as walking, leisurely and leisurely, and she didn't have the feeling of speeding and her hair floating backward.

Well, anyway, if you don't have to ride hard by yourself, don't ask for so much.

The warm sun shines on the body, and smelling the scent of golden osmanthus and some unknown wild flowers blowing from nowhere, I feel very comfortable.

The bicycle moved forward slowly, and from time to time it pressed the dead leaves on the ground, making a burst of rustling sound, which made people feel the feeling that time was slowly moving forward.

The weather is nice today, really suitable for cycling.Cheng He felt that Bai Qian's suggestion was quite good.

It's just that it's not the weekend, Cheng Xinxin is at school alone, and the two of them came out to sneak away.

Bai Qian sat in the back with her arms around Cheng He's waist.Anyway, the speed of the car was slow, and her feet would shake slightly from time to time, and she said, "I'm riding in a classic car, right?"

Cheng He knew that she thought he was slow, so he deliberately distorted his understanding: "Classic car? Then don't dare, how much is the bicycle of a classic car worth? I bought it in our city."

Bai Qian said: "It's not a classic car, then you are riding so slowly, you really want to kill me."

"Are you in a hurry? Where are you going in a hurry?" Cheng He didn't mean to speed up at all.

"I'm so anxious...I'm so anxious to get down and go, you know? It's really too slow. Otherwise, I'll ride. Can you sit in the back?" Bai Qian said.

"That's not okay. I haven't been a driver enough yet." Cheng He continued to ride slowly.

Bai Qian had nothing to do with him, she was so anxious that she wanted to bite again.

After riding slowly for a while, we arrived at a small road behind the village. There were a lot fewer people here, and it was basically their world for two.

In the past, people would often go to the mountains to collect herbs, and they could see some people, but over the years, there is almost nothing dug up in the nearby mountains. It is not very rewarding to go to the mountains, and it is better to make more money at home. Therefore, those who come to the mountains The number of people has decreased significantly.

This is also good, let the mountain breathe for a while, let those wild precious medicinal materials have a little time to breathe and multiply, and the mountain will become a treasure mountain again.

Sometimes thinking about it from this aspect, Cheng He feels that he seems to have really done a good deed.

After riding for a while, I gradually felt the heat. Although it was autumn, the temperature was not low when it was approaching noon, and I had been stepping on the bicycle, so I was exercising, so it was not hot.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he stopped the car and said, "Let's take a rest and walk slowly."

Bai Qian didn't need to take the slow classic car anymore, so she got off quickly and stretched herself, expressing that she was tired from the car ride.

Cheng He pointed to a little distance ahead and said, "There are a few pomegranate trees over there. I brought Cheng Xinxin here last year. The pomegranates are quite sweet."

Bai Qian immediately said, "Then let's get some more?"

"Okay."

With that said, they walked over there.

When he arrived at the place, Cheng He asked Bai Qian to hold the bicycle, and he went to pick pomegranates by himself.Because the place where the pomegranate tree grows is quite steep, the bicycle can't push it up, let alone push it up, he can just pick a few off.

Cheng He walked up the slope and turned over a rock, but saw another figure over there. He knew Cheng Shuanggen from this village, an old man in his 60s.

According to his seniority, Cheng Hede called him Uncle.

Cheng He greeted there from a distance: "Uncle Shuanggen, why are you here alone?"

The old man turned his head and said with a smile: "Heizi, is it you? I'm getting some centipedes. It's a prescription. It's going to be cold, and your aunt's legs always have problems. If you want to use this recipe, I will give you a prescription." Come out and look for it. Why are these things so rare now! Are you here to play?"

Cheng He nodded and said, "Well, come and play, pick a few pomegranates and go back to eat. My aunt has a leg problem, should I go to the hospital or go to the hospital, I can't do it myself."

"I know, I know, it's not fooling around. She has an old problem. It happens every year. This is a prescription given by an old Chinese doctor. I make it for her every year. It doesn't matter. Hehe, okay, you Go pick pomegranates, I'll look for it later." The old man laughed.

This year, their family made a lot of money by doing bamboo weaving. Among the older generation, they are considered young and have good skills, so they can make money.

Of course, their house is also new. Neither of the two sons went out to work this year. One opened a farmhouse, and the other specialized in supplying the two vegetable plots, as well as poultry and meat.

In terms of income, if there is a minor health problem, I wouldn't be reluctant to go to the hospital.But he said it was an old problem and an old prescription, so he let him go.

Cheng He said: "Okay, then I'll go there, you should find it first."

Cheng Shuanggen was very grateful to Cheng He. The family had completely changed over the past year. Before, their family was almost the poorest in the village—of course, other people's families were not so rich.

But it's only been more than a year. The family has really turned around completely. Not to mention that both sons live in new houses, even his old bones can contribute to making money. It's all because of Cheng He.

Therefore, even though he is a senior, he is still very polite to Cheng He, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go and you go."

Thinking of something, he hurriedly asked again: "Heizi, how's your wife's appetite now? Do you want to eat duck? I'll bring you two later?"

He has a son who planted two vegetable fields this year, and also raised various poultry, pigs, sheep, etc., which were all supplied to the farmhouse, so he raised a lot.

Cheng He hurriedly waved his hands politely: "No, no, no, our food is okay, we have everything, and she is not picky, no need."

This year, his family only raised chickens and no ducks, which seemed troublesome, but in terms of food, there was really no shortage.

Moreover, he always felt that the people in the village were too polite, always carrying this and that for his family. It was really embarrassing to take too much, and the family's life was just getting better.

After a few words of politeness, he quickly hid to pick pomegranates.

I just suddenly thought of pomegranates, so I didn't want to pick too many, just tasted it, and came back soon.It turned out that Cheng Shuanggen was still looking around there.

Cheng He carried a few pomegranates and asked from a distance: "Uncle Shuanggen, haven't you found it yet?"

"Yeah, I just found one. This thing is like this. When I don't look for it, it seems to be everywhere. When I want to look for it, I can't find it after running so far. Hehehe... It's okay, I will take it slowly Look, there is plenty of time, you go first." Cheng Shuanggen continued to turn over the rocks while saying.

He brought a bottle with only a few centipedes in it, and it seemed that he hadn't gained much.

Sometimes these things are really like this. When you don’t look for them, they are everywhere, and it’s annoying; when it’s time to look for them, you just can’t find them.

Speaking of which, centipedes are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. In the past, when the villagers didn't have much to do, they would catch centipedes and sell them for money. The big ones were seven or eight yuan a piece, and the small ones were two or three yuan, which could be exchanged for some income.

However, they haven't come to look for these things for more than a year, and their income is not high, and it takes a lot of time. It's better to make some bamboo weaving at home and sell them for money, and earn more.

I don't know if it was because I caught it hard before, but now I want to find it, but I can't find it all of a sudden.

Cheng He said, "Let me help you find it."

Of course, it was easier for him to find things. With the help of special powers, he found several nests in the place under the pressure of other stones, of all sizes, and there were quite a few of them.

Cheng Shuanggen quickly clamped it with tongs, threw it into a bottle and sealed it, so as not to run out and bite someone.

The old man was very happy. He came here to search for a long time but couldn't find enough. As soon as Cheng He came, they were all alive!Not convinced.He thanked Cheng He again and again.

Cheng He didn't take it seriously, and said politely that he was going to leave. Cheng Shuanggen didn't want to waste his time, so he urged him to leave quickly, and he would go back after catching some more frogs.

After coming down the mountain, seeing Bai Qian sitting on the seat of the bicycle playing with her mobile phone, Cheng He handed her a pomegranate and said, "Try it, it's guaranteed to be sweet."

Bai Qian put the phone away, took the pomegranate, and said coquettishly: "Look, you don't even peel it off for the Lun family. The Lun family is a little girl, so you don't even know how to peel it off. You have to take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

Women, you don't want to pretend to be tender all the time, and you deliberately speak in a weird way.

Cheng He was amused by her, and deliberately ran on: "Are you a little girl? You have to know, you are a mother of children, and every year on March [-]th is your festival, Women's Day."
