Back to 80, start from gold digging

The school is on holiday for a few days, and for the small schools in the town, Labor Day means that they really have to work.Those who have land at home help with farming, and those who do not have land also go to work-study programs. After all, it is necessary to feel the theme of the festival.

In the past few years, the work-study tasks of Qiushui Town Primary School are all medicinal materials, which is also related to the geographical location.Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea.There are countless mountain peaks in the mountain city, and the gifts from nature have also nurtured generations of people in the mountain city.

At this time, the mountains were extremely rich in products.When you raise your hand, you will find wild fruits, if you lower your head, you will find wild vegetables, and if you walk a few steps, you will find medicinal herbs. It is no exaggeration to say that the mountains are full of treasures.

The task for this semester is the three-branch nine-leaf clover, named for its shape with three branches and nine leaves.It is very recognizable and usually grows in the shade of trees in continuous patches.

According to the number of tasks assigned by the grade, students who are about to enter the fourth grade are given seven catties per person, with all branches and leaves as the standard.

Three catties of wet medicinal materials can be dried into one catty, which is at least 21 catties.On average, about three catties must be guaranteed every day. This figure is actually not very difficult. You don’t need tools when you go down the mountain, and you can get them back by just holding them in your hands.

There is no need to worry about picking, there are things all over the mountain, just find a place to stay for a quarter of an hour, and you can make up enough.

The problem is, picking these 21 catties together is more troublesome.

The Zhao family had no time to build a house, and finally reached the upper beam. The villagers were all eating, and there was no need to employ people. Only then did Zhao Wenduo have time to go up the mountain.

It's only been a day since I left school, and the medicinal materials have to be dried when I take them back. Fortunately, these days are sunny, so I don't need to bother to dry them. I put them back in the yard, and a big sun is enough.

So, today, oh no, to be precise, it took half a day to pick up all these 20 catties of herbs and transport them back.

Time was tight and tasks were heavy, so Zhao Wenduo didn't have time to think about it. He just greeted the two elders at home, and ignored the chatting and chatting with the villagers. He took two woven bags and went straight to Dongshan.

The east mountain is gentle, and there are not many towering trees. There are only trees as tall as a person. The medicinal herbs grow under these trees. If you want to pick them, you have to bend down and squat forward.

Looking from the outside, the branches and leaves of the tree cover the figure. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find anyone under the tree.

The mountain is very quiet, occasionally one or two bird calls can be heard, and even one's own breathing can be heard clearly.It was dull under the tree, and the squatting posture was too aggrieved. After a while, I was a little panting, and beads of sweat dripped down my cheeks.

Zhao Wenduo piled up a bunch of medicinal herbs that he had just plucked by his feet, found an open space and sat there to rest for a while, wiping the sweat off his face.I made a mistake, I never thought that such a seemingly light job would be so difficult.I can't say how tired I am, the main reason is that it is too exhausting.I couldn't straighten my waist, so I could only squat. After a long time, my legs became sore and swollen, which was no worse than running 2000 meters.

And with all the sweat, why didn't I think of bringing a towel here, I can only wipe it with my hands when I sweat, there is no other way.

Fortunately, this herb grows a lot, but this one piece is enough, so you don't need to move too much.

After resting for a while, my two sore legs slowly disappeared, and a lot of sweat disappeared, so I got up again and continued to work.Mechanically repeating the action of picking up herbs, one, two, three——

I don't know how long it took, the medicinal herbs under her feet have piled up into three small piles, just about to reach out her hand to pick another one, she suddenly felt chilly all over, a strong sense of presence behind her made her hairs stand on end, and she stopped With the movement of his hand, he grabbed a stone without any trace, and then turned around quickly.

At the moment when the palm-sized stone was about to fly out of her hand, she also saw the situation behind her clearly, braked suddenly, and snapped the stone back into her hand.

"It's quite deep. I didn't meet you until I walked almost half a mountain." Fu Tingkun pushed aside the branches blocking the way and approached.

Zhao Wenduo breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his heartbeat, and reprimanded: "Do you walk without making a sound? Do you know that people are frightening and frightening to death, and you were almost frightened to death." Seeing clearly a second later, she The stone in your hand has to fly out.

"Isn't he very courageous? How can he be frightened by a little movement?" Fu Tingkun didn't dislike the narrow space, squatted down and pulled off the half-filled woven bag next to him, and said, "How long have you been here?" , just got these, this speed needs to be improved."

"Speed ​​and slow don't seem to have much to do with you, the Pacific police, they are so lenient." Hearing his disgust, Zhao Wenduo said in a bad tone.

I haven't blamed him for appearing out of nowhere to be scary, but I think she is slow.I don't even think about it, what is the relationship between the two of them?The two were not really that close.

Fu Tingkun was amused by her description, and said, "Have you never thought about the possibility of having an extra helper?"

Zhao Wenduo rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to help, you can just say so. You don't need to be so oblique and tempting. I won't refuse an extra laborer. But let me tell you in advance that this is voluntary, right? You can get paid."

"You're young, but you're shrewd in your calculations." Fu Tingkun said in a low voice, laughing, but his hands moved, and he picked up a medicinal herb directly.

It can be seen at a glance that the herbs she is picking.The few piles on the ground are all of this type, and there are also pieces under the trees, so just collect them all according to the order.

Zhao Wenduo saw that he was really planning to help, so he didn't hesitate, squatted down and continued with the weeding work.Ask him while working: "How did you know that I was picking this on the mountain? Did you ask them?"

The "them" she mentioned naturally refers to Zhao Mingyu and Li Cuizhen, because she only told them that they came to the mountain to complete the tasks assigned by the school, but no one else knew about it.If he could find this place, it meant that the two of them spoke through each other.

Fu Tingkun nodded, otherwise.He had nothing else to do, so he ran to this mountain, looking for guilt in the heat and stuffiness.

"Didn't you just go back? Why did you come back so soon?" Zhao Wenduo paused for a moment while pulling the herbs in his hand, and turned his head to look at him sideways: "Could it be that the medicine has expired and you need to take medicine?" Based on the relationship between the two, she could only think of this.

Fu Tingkun thought for a while and said, "It's not considered."

"Huh? What does this mean?" Good is good, and bad is bad. What's the matter with this up and down answer?

Fu Tingkun explained a little: "Although the effect of the medicine is still there, you can eat and fall asleep, but you will feel uncomfortable all over your body, but you can't find the reason." This kind of thing is not the first time. After more than 20 years, I am either looking for medicine or on the way to find medicine.The feeling of being helpless about this kind of unexplained illness is really touching, and I have the most right to speak.

Whether Zhao Wenduo understands it or not is the same as not listening.But he didn't hesitate to understand the meaning of the words, and said: "In other words, the reason why you came here again after a long journey is just because I think this medicine of mine may also have an effect on your inexplicable discomfort. , is it like this?"

Fu Tingkun was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about it specifically, he just killed him based on his intuition.Or it was really like what she said, she didn't think about it on the surface, but she made a decision for him subconsciously.

Seeing her, all the symptoms of discomfort will disappear.

After sinking down and experiencing it carefully, it seems that it really works.The inexplicable discomfort before, the feeling of being stuffy and stuffy in the heart seems to have improved a lot.It's just that the two of them just met each other, and it took only 8 minutes before and after, and they only talked a few words, let alone a fight, and they didn't even get in line to fight.

For the first time, Fu Tingkun had doubts. Was this good medicine really related to her fight?
It's just that this was just an idea that came up for a moment, and it was overthrown by myself immediately.If it's not because of the fight, then how good is his problem.This is something that has been proven, and there is absolutely no need to question it.

His silence was an answer.

Zhao Wenduo nodded his head and said, "Understood." He turned back again and continued to gather herbs.

Fu Tingkun had a question mark on his face, hey, she already understood before he said anything?Really smart enough.

The two reached a subtle tacit understanding, and neither of them brought up this topic again.Start to seriously deal with these guys with nine leaves under their feet.

In the end, it is the group of people who are more powerful, and both of them have outstanding physical strength and endurance.In less than an hour, the two woven bags were full.

Herbs take up space, and most of them are fresh with moisture, so the two bags don't really hold much.However, since it is already half full, it is necessary to take it down the mountain, go back and weigh it to see how much is left, and then return to continue picking.

Zhao Wenduo straightened her waist, which had been bent for almost two hours, swung her arms and legs, stretched them, then grabbed a bag and threw it behind her, holding it straight with the other hand, and walked down the mountain .

Fu Tingkun cleaned the 'battlefield' like a habit, and glanced at the place where the footprints were left just now, but saw that there was still a pile of herbs that had not been pretended to go, and fell down.Immediately afterwards, he went to call Zhao Wenduo: "Don't go yet, there are still some things that haven't been installed."

Zhao Wenduo didn't answer, and replied, "I'll give it to you, it's my wages." After working for such a long time, it's all due to hard work.

How can you give him a sincere gift, the two bags are obviously stuffed to the brim, and they can't fit any more, so take the leftovers and give them away as favors.

Knowing this was the case, Fu Tingkun didn't say anything, and picked up these herbs in a good-tempered manner. These are the fruits of hard work, they cannot be invalidated, and they must be taken away together.Maybe the difference in the quantity between the two bags is just enough to weigh a catty.At that time, she will have to thank him.Thinking of such a possibility, he smiled unconsciously.

The way down the mountain was quite smooth, and both of them were agile, and it took only five or six minutes to reach the bottom of the mountain.

Zhao Wenduo was carrying his shoulders and hands, without delaying his speed at all, he was far ahead by more than ten meters.

Fu Tingkun was not in a hurry to catch up, but followed slowly.Looking at the thin figure in front with great interest, the swollen woven bags were stuffed, the one in the front left and the one in the back right, almost drowning her whole body.

The small half of her back that was exposed was thin but powerful, and her small waist was straight. One could tell at a glance that she was a stubborn and strong little girl.

Fu Tingkun didn't know what kind of psychology he was in at the moment, he just felt that the thin back was surprisingly attractive, he glanced at it, and then looked at it again.

It wasn't until another figure appeared in the field of vision that he stopped, retracted his gaze, and stopped staring directly at it.

Zhao Wenduo, who was walking in front, just stopped, and greeted the fellow villagers who were walking towards him. He didn't say much, and Ying nodded symbolically.

That man was an old cattle herding man who lived at the bottom of the mountain. He just came out of the village after having a feast and drinking wine.When I met Zhao Wenduo, I asked casually: "This is for work, and I took so many things."

The bag was tightly wrapped, and it was impossible to see what was inside.The old man didn't mean to study it carefully, he just said something casually.

Zhao Wenduo also understood that he would not bother to explain more.He nodded in response, and dealt with it vaguely, which was considered an answer.

The old man smiled and missed, walked a few steps forward and bumped into Fu Tingkun behind him.

Although I feel that he is an unfamiliar face, he doesn't look like a villager.But after drinking some wine, I felt a little overwhelmed, and I became dizzy when I saw a bunch of herbs in this person's arms, and immediately found something to talk about, and greeted the person who was quite familiar with it: "Yo, This is going up the mountain to pick epimedium seeds. The family also raises livestock and wants to conceive cubs. Yes, this thing is the best. It is very useful for cows and horses. This amount is enough, and it will be used immediately after eating. Get excited, that's how fast it will be."

The old man has been grazing cattle on the mountain all year round, and he knows the herbs used by these livestock in the mountains very well. Usually, this grass is not easy to eat, and as long as he eats it, he will get excited, which is not easy to deal with.But when a cow is about to conceive a calf, it is the best thing to feed a bull.

I heard that this grass has the same effect on people, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

Fu Tingkun was forced to listen to the scriptures on raising livestock, but he hadn't fully understood the meaning of the old man's words. When he was thinking about it, the old man stopped talking and looked him up and down with suspicious eyes, like I couldn't help it, and asked, "Young man, are you the one who wants to use this grass? Look at you so energetic, why do you have that kind of problem. But, it doesn't matter, I heard that this grass is harmful to people. It's also effective, it doesn't matter if he can do it or not, if he eats herbs, he can be majestic, so that's fine."

After all, it was a secret topic, afraid that he would be embarrassed again, the old man didn't stand for a long time, and walked away after speaking.

Fu Tingkun recalled it, his face was green.The grass in my arms, I don't want to throw it away, or I don't want to throw it away.

Zhao Wenduo, who was a few meters away, listened to the old man's words.Embarrassment at first, followed by a snicker.

You don’t need to look back, you can also think that the person behind you must have a green face, haha——

PS: The timeline is a little earlier, so you can ignore it.
