Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 7 to the city

After Cheng He tied the pannier carrying his daughter to his body and fastened it securely, he saw that there was no one around, and he was about to exert his strength.

Like swimming, he took a deep breath into his chest cavity, and his whole body was immediately suspended.Then gently open your arms, and you can slide forward.

After just a few strokes, he could clearly feel that after a whole night of rest, the Venus in his body became stronger.

After running back and forth in the mountains yesterday, I can obviously feel that I have exhausted my energy.But after a night of adjustments, he is in very good spirits now.

He had never felt like this before.According to his estimation, the Venus in his body should be something like an energy source.

It didn't take long for him to find the aperture mark left yesterday.Now the aperture is still waiting here steadily.

Cheng He stopped, put down the canvas, untied the basket, and put Cheng Xinxin down.

The little girl was very excited when she saw the light from the darkness and came to a new place again.

For her, sitting in the basket just now was fast and stable, and it didn't take long, just like taking a taxi in the city. She didn't even realize how far she had gone, let alone know how far she was now In the primitive mountains.

Cheng He put down his daughter, told her not to run around, be careful of falling, and then went to get the ganoderma lucidum by himself.

Yesterday afternoon, he checked it with his mobile phone. The reddish-brown Ganoderma lucidum, whose scientific name is Chizhi, has very good medicinal properties. Of course, the price of pure wild ganoderma is also very considerable.

He thought of a way. In order to prove that it was pure wild, he took out his mobile phone and took a video of the unpicked rotten tree and Ganoderma lucidum.

Cheng Xinxin stood by and asked curiously, "Father, what is this?"

"Baby, this is Ganoderma lucidum." Cheng He said to his daughter after filming the video.

"What is this for?"

"This is traditional Chinese medicine. Doctors dry it up and give it to patients. Eating it is good for your health. However, if we want to sell it for money, we can buy you snacks." Cheng He explained patiently.

"Oh." Cheng Xinxin nodded half-understanding, not knowing what was going on in her head.

Cheng He came over with a hatchet and chopped off the rotten wood near the Ganoderma lucidum. In the short term, the Ganoderma lucidum will still be able to absorb nutrients and keep it fresh.

The bamboo baskets are big enough, and Ganoderma lucidum, which is the size of a plantain fan, can be put in as a whole.Afraid of damaging it, Cheng He grabbed some dead leaves on the ground and placed them around.

What excited him was that as soon as the Ganoderma lucidum was harvested, the aperture guarding it immediately penetrated into the Ganoderma lucidum and flowed into the veins inside.

That aperture can instantly restore the spirit of the big yellow dog, and it must be good for the ganoderma.

Cheng He didn't know if it was his own illusion. Looking at the ganoderma lucidum again today, it seemed that it was bigger and thicker than yesterday.

Did it grow a lot overnight?Is it because of the protection of the golden circle?
Seeing that the bamboo basket was taken, Cheng Xinxin yelled, "Father, you filled the basket, so where should I sit?"

It was the first time for her to take a "bamboo basket" as a means of transportation.

Cheng He smiled: "Then Dad holds you, can't you?"

Cheng Xinxin nodded, but after a while she said thoughtfully, "Father, you have to carry the basket and hug me again, are you tired?"

When I was young, I knew how to feel sorry for adults.

Cheng He comforted her, hugged her and said, "I'm not tired. Since I have you, my father will not be tired no matter what he does."

Cheng Xinxin giggled, and obediently kissed Cheng He's face, making Cheng He feel blissful all of a sudden.

Entering the mountain early in the morning, within half a day, I picked a large Ganoderma lucidum, which is not a small harvest.But according to the habits of the villagers, they would have to work until dark to find more things when they came out.

But Cheng He didn't plan to continue.

He has the guidance of Venus now, if he is allowed to dig like this every day until dark, the treasure mountain will also be hollowed out, it is better to let those treasures grow again, enough is enough.

Besides, if he suddenly dug up a bunch of treasures and brought them back, the treasures might not be worth much, and he didn't know if it would cause him any trouble.

Things are rare.

Cheng He is not greedy.

After filling the ganoderma in the bamboo basket, covering it with canvas and tying it up, he held Cheng Xinxin in his arms, wrapped her head with his clothes, and prepared to float again.

This time, he didn't intend to go directly back to Taohua Village, but headed towards the city.

Nanshan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountain people have the habit of collecting herbs and selling them outside for hundreds of years. There has always been a medicinal material trading office in the city.

Times have changed, and the name of the medicinal material trading office has always changed, but this function has not changed.

The villagers carried the precious medicinal materials from the mountain to the trading office, where they waited for the people who purchased the medicinal materials to watch the price, and both sides took what they needed.

In the past, when there were many medicinal materials, this place was very prosperous.But as the years passed, there were fewer and fewer medicinal materials, more and more people had to go to the deep mountains, the more dangers they might encounter, and fewer people were willing to do this.

Coupled with the fact that young people have gone to work in major cities, only some old people who have nothing to do are still collecting herbs, so this medicinal material trading office is gradually losing its former prosperity.

But in general, a trading office is still a trading office, and there will always be people waiting to purchase medicinal materials there.

With a bamboo basket on his back and his daughter in his arms, Cheng He ran all the way through the primeval forest, slowing down and walking out of the woods at the place closest to the urban area.

This is a cement road, and there is still a section of road away from the city.

After Cheng He waited for a while, he saw a bus passing by.Most of the buses in the city would pass by the medicinal materials trading office, so he got on the bus.

At noon, there are not many people on the bus, and there are still empty seats.

Cheng He sat down, and Cheng Xinxin thoughtfully took out her small handkerchief, wiped it on his forehead, and said in a dignified manner, "Daddy has worked hard."

Cheng He raised his forehead, he just floated all the way, and he was not too tired, there was no sweat on his forehead, okay!

But he had to accept his daughter's kindness seriously, and he couldn't dampen her enthusiasm.

So he smiled and said, "Thank you baby."

Cheng Xinxin was praised and giggled in embarrassment.

The people in the car were amused by her cute appearance, and they all said, "What a good girl!"

"Yeah, yeah, not like a rural kid, but like a city kid."

"Girls nowadays are all fathers."

"Yes, yes, ours is the same."

Nanshan's speech is slightly different from Mandarin, but it is generally understandable.Cheng Xinxin was so ashamed that she got into her father's arms, not daring to come out, and secretly smiled.

The car soon arrived in the urban area, and it didn't take long to arrive at the medicinal material trading office. Cheng He got out of the car.

There is only one fee-paying entrance in the entire trading office. Those who bring medicinal materials into the sale like Cheng He have to pay tickets.But the buyer does not need to enter.

The current trading office is very simple. Generally speaking, there are stalls next to each other to form a row, like a pork stall, and each stall has a chopping board for displaying medicinal materials.

There are about 300 or [-] stalls in such a row, and there are a total of seven or eight rows in the entire trading office.However, among the more than [-] stalls, less than one-third of the stalls are still sticking to the registered sales, and the rest are empty, which shows that they are depressed.

The entire trading office has only one floor, with a large iron canopy on the top, which blocks the sunlight.

In such a summer, the iron sheet was undoubtedly covered like a pot lid, and the entire trading office formed a steamer.And because of the depression, the income is too little to maintain, and there is no air conditioning in the booth.

　I wish you all a happy day!
