Reborn 1980, Mountains Have Spirits, I Have Fields

Chapter 6 Poria and the Teenager

Lingmei's purpose today is very clear.

Yesterday she passed a pine forest on the mountain road.Pine trees are a good thing.Pine nuts can relieve hunger, pine wood can make ink, and rosin has a wide range of uses.Even where its roots sprout and shade, good things grow.

Seeing her suddenly shifting into the pine forest, Jin Yuanbao asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

Lingmei observed the pine forest for a long time, until a bunch of plants with small round black and purple fruits came into her sight.The leaves are slender and thick, and the rhizomes are entwined with slender white silk fungi.Most importantly, it grew under a stump of a truncated pine root.

It is it.

Lingmei carefully dug under it, and after a while, she saw large chunks of gray-colored root-like objects. If she didn't look closely, she might have regarded it as two stones.

Poria.

Wild tuckahoe.

Lingmei lamented her good luck, hurriedly picked the big ones and sent them to the space, and put the slightly smaller ones in the back.After a rough estimate, the big one weighed ten catties, and the small one weighed six catties.She then covered the soil well and stepped on it.Looking at the pine forest, she suddenly had a thought: I don't know how many Poria cocos are hidden under this forest?

Almost instantly, the scene of the pine forest quickly appeared in her mind, and the scene quickly turned to the ground and went deep underground.Where there are poria cocos, their size and shape are clearly outlined.

When Mei was overjoyed, she suddenly became dizzy.Quickly close your eyes and sit on the ground to rest.

Jin Yuanbao gloated and said: "Exploring the mountains and forests also requires mental energy. Drink some of my spiritual spring water to replenish."

Lingmei drank a cup of spiritual spring water and quickly regained her spirits.

Jin Yuanbao was still nagging in her ear: "I said earlier that you were going to dig Poria cocos, you have to remember. From now on, you can't pick the valuable treasures on the mountain randomly. You need to ask for my permission, you know?"

Ling Mei was speechless: How did you meet such a petty mountain god?
"You have said so much, can you show me the original shape and let me see?"

Jin Yuanbao stopped talking, and only after a while did he say in a secretive way: "I just woke up, and my spiritual power is weak. It's not easy to show up."

Row.That means you can only chatter but not do practical things, right?Ling Mei immediately put this useless little spirit pet's warning to the back of her mind.

"Let's go back."

She just came out of the pine forest and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"father?!"

Xiao Yueshan climbed the mountain early in the morning, set several traps and rushed to find his daughter.Seeing the girl's thick eyebrows raised: "I told you not to let you go up the mountain, why are you disobedient?"

Lingmei smiled and wrapped her arms around her father: "Father, I found something good."

Xiao Yueshan couldn't be fierce to his daughter: "What good thing?"

Lingmei untied the bamboo louvers and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Yueshan saw a crumpled thing full of dirt, and frowned: "This... I saw it at Dr. Zhu's house. What kind of medicine is it?"

"Fu Ling. This is a wild Fu Ling." Ling Mei's eyes curved. "Father, the tuition fees for my brother and I will be settled next year."

Xiao Yueshan's eyes widened: "It really looks like Poria cocos. Where did you find it?"

Lingmei made a proud little girl: "Dad, do you think I have read the books these years for nothing? I have seen pictures and introductions in the school library. It is said that our place has been the birthplace of Poria cocos since ancient times."

Xiao Yueshan was puzzled: "You don't read wrong, do you?"

Ling Mei Buyi: "I dug this under the root of a pine tree. What else could it be if it wasn't Poria cocos?"

Xiao Yueshan was overjoyed: "Good girl! Let's go, I'll take you to Dr. Zhu's house. His house has been collecting medicines." Then he carried the bamboo locust on his body, and led his daughter's hand down the mountain.

Along the way, he pointed to the trap he had set and reminded her: "In the future, go up the mountain and avoid this place. I took the hook."

Lingmei vaguely remembered that her father was a master hunter.According to her mother, when his father was young, he played very well with an earthen gun.Later, the country confiscated banned guns, and for some reason sealed off the mountain, banning hunting and logging.Said to protect wild animals, he rarely went out hunting.

"Why did Dad suddenly think of hunting again?"

"The village collects wild game to entertain foreign guests."

Under special circumstances, the village committee will issue a certificate to capture a few non-protected animals, and the state will not care.

Ling Mei was startled: "We have foreign guests here?"

"It is said that they came to invest in opening a factory."

Lingmei was curious: "Which country are the foreign guests from?"

Xiao Yueshan chopped a piece of firewood: "Japan."

It made Mei understand. Isn't the 80s the period of honeymoon cooperation between the two countries?The two sides win and benefit each other, and each has his own income.

So she took advantage of her father's unpreparedness and secretly poured some spiritual spring into the trap along the way.Hope to help her dad attract more beasts.

The father and daughter talked and laughed all the way to Dr. Zhu's courtyard.

Doctor Zhu's name is Zhu Hanyan.I'm less than forty this year, from Shanghai.His father is a Chinese medicine doctor. He was deeply influenced by Chinese medicine since he was a child. He wanted to go to a medical university, but after graduating from high school, he responded to the call of the country and joined the torrent of society. With a large number of young people who went to the mountains and went to the countryside, they jumped into the queue and came to Fujian to take root. .Because he was proficient in Chinese medicine, he was hired as a hygienist by the newly built local health center not long after. He simply learned the basics of western medicine and trained to become a barefoot doctor.

The young doctor who combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine quickly made a name for himself in Yunlai Village and even nearby villages and towns.

The small courtyard of the Zhu family is clean and tidy. There are many baskets of dried Chinese herbal medicines in the courtyard.The most eye-catching thing is a [-]-bar Phoenix bicycle leaning against the corner.The three-bay beautiful blue-tiled house has a style that even the village chief can't match in the village.No way, who makes people capable?
Following Xiao Yueshan's voice, "Is Doctor Zhu there?", a slender and handsome young boy came out of the room.

Lingmei couldn't help but glow with indescribable joy from body to heart. When she realized this strangeness, she already smiled sweetly and called out: "Brother Junxiao."

Zhu Junxiao has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and healthy white skin, especially when he smiles.He smiled brightly at Lingmei: "Lingmei, Uncle Xiao."

The strange feeling in Mei Xin gradually dissipated.Looking at the young man's handsome face, she understood something.Which girl is not pregnant?A boy like Zhu Junxiao is probably the dream lover of all the girls in the village, right?
"Ah Xiao." Xiao Yueshan also smiled, "Lingmei found something in the mountain. I don't know what it is, I want your father to see it."

Zhu Junxiao hurriedly invited the two into the courtyard to sit down.

"My father hasn't come back yet." He looked at Lingmei and asked affectionately, "Did you find anything good?"

Lingmei endured the charm exuded by the handsome guy: "Maybe it's Poria."

Junxiao's smile froze, but his eyes brightened even more.Exclaimed: "Poria? You found Poria?"

Father Xiao has already picked up something that looks like a big clod: "We're not sure, let's see if it's right?"

Jun Xiao was shocked: "It's really Poria! Oh my god, such a big Poria, my father will be so happy."

Father Xiao was determined: "It's fine if it's Poria. I'm still worried that Lingmei has made a mistake."

Junxiao stretched out his thumb and praised her: "Lingmei is the best."

Lingmei pursed her lips and smiled.There was also a strange light in the boy's eyes when he looked at himself, she was someone who had experienced it. An old aunt in her 40s, how can she not understand?
Father Xiao looked at the delicate atmosphere between the two children, and was half happy and half worried.

Has his family, Lingmei, become a high climber?
Fortunately, at this time, the Zhu family came back.
