Xia Zhi thought very beautiful in her heart, but the reality is cruel. The aura of the two of them is probably not good, so she didn't find any precious medicinal materials on the mountain. They were all common herbs.

On this day, when she came down from the mountain after picking up the herbs with the small basket she had woven on her back, when she walked near the residential area of ​​the brigade, she suddenly smelled a strange and familiar smell.

The summer solstice frowned, is this smell shouldn't appear at this time, right? She thought she was smelling it wrong because it was the smell of incense, the kind of "incense" that burns incense and worships Buddha.

Isn't the Four Olds sweeping away everything now? Who is so bold to burn incense at this time? Simply tired of living.

Xia Zhi was a little curious in her heart, and she wanted to see which house was engaged in feudal superstition activities. She never thought that when she carefully felt the smell of the fragrance came from which direction, she found that almost the entire group of people were there. Burning incense, this surprised her.

God, the people in this brigade are too bold, right? In such a sensitive period, they dare to burn incense and worship Buddha collectively. Do they think that their lives will be too long?

Although Xia Zhi was shocked, the expression on his face was held up, and no one noticed anything abnormal.

She was walking on the way back to the clinic, observing the expressions of the pedestrians, and found that their behavior was exactly the same as usual. When she saw her, she greeted her normally without showing any unusual behavior.

This production team is really weird, she thought.

Because Xia Zhi found an abnormal situation, Xia Zhi was worried about something she could not control, so she simply swept it with her spiritual sense to see if she could overhear useful content.

The conditions in the houses that she has swept through are basically the same. Every house in each house has an altar table in a certain room. There is an incense burner on the altar table with three incense sticks and two candles inserted on it. In addition, there are other tributes.

It may be that the food is handed in, so the tribute is relatively simple. They are all wild fruits picked from the mountains, but the tribute is not limited to wild fruits.

Some people may be more courageous and stole food from the brigade fields. Therefore, there are some sweet potatoes, taro, peanuts and so on on the altar table. Others have better conditions at home and some cakes and candies are placed on the table.

Food tributes are varied, and finally there is one thing in common, that is, gold ingot paper money.

Every household folded the gold ingot paper money and put it on the table to worship.

After exploring the summer solstice, I was really too curious. Are these people too courageous? Why are you doing this collectively at this time? Are they not afraid of death? In case of being reported, won't the entire brigade be sold in one go?

I don't know what day is so important today. It is so important that every household does not hesitate to violate national regulations and all worship.

Perhaps because the summer solstice was from outside, everyone didn't tell her about these things. Except for her, the entire production team had only a few people with no elders who did not make sacrifices. Others set up altars and burned incense candles.

Xia Zhi looked at the people coming and going on the road, and their performance today seemed to be as ordinary as every day before. The smell of the incense candles and the things she had just explored with her spiritual sense seemed to be her own illusions.

Although I was shocked and curious, Xia Zhi did not rush to ask other people what was going on.

Since this is what the whole brigade is doing, and looking at their performance, this is obviously not the first time to do so, it means that bye bye this matter should be tacitly understood by everyone, so there is no need to worry about someone in the brigade reporting it. There is no danger for the time being, you can leave it to see what happened later.

As she walked to the health room, she sighed in her heart, this is really a magical brigade, and she has gained insight again.

After returning to the health room at the summer solstice, I began to process the materials, the soil that should be removed, the skin that should be peeled, and everything was cleaned and spread out in plaque baskets. Then, a few wooden frames were removed from the hut and placed Under the sun, place the plaque basket on the wooden shelf.

She later asked Xue Zhuangzi to build this wooden frame for drying medicinal materials, while the plaque baskets were made by cutting bamboo pieces by herself.

After she processed today's medicinal materials, it was almost time to eat. After the meal, she went to wash the dishes in the summer solstice. Aunt Ma next door happened to have finished eating and came to wash the dishes.

She saw Xia Solstice happily greeted her, and then said: "Tomorrow is the market day, will you go to the town to go to the market?"

"Tomorrow is the market day?" Xia Solstice really didn't know, she said happily, "Isn't there no need to go to work tomorrow?" If there is a holiday, you can get a salary.

Aunt Ma cut and said, "No, you want to be beautiful. Wherever you don’t need to go to work, you still have to go to work. It’s just that tomorrow is our monthly market day in Red Star Town. If you ask for leave, the captain basically They will approve them. Normally, if you want to ask for leave, he is not that easy to talk."

"It turned out to be like this, I know." Xia Zhi nodded and said, since it's not a paid vacation, she doesn't have much interest.

She has a special status. She often goes to see doctors for patients. She does not stay in the Xueshantou brigade all the time. She always runs around. She is very tired when she hears things like going to the market. She might as well stay in the clinic. Reading and practicing inside.

Xia Zhi is living in the blessing and not knowing the blessings. There are three doctors in the whole town. That's why she can be so leisurely. If she is an ordinary member and works in the field every day, she will definitely be like other ordinary members, looking forward to the fair. You can take a day off and take a day off.

She is not interested in going to the market, but Aunt Ma has been inviting her: "Are you going? I'm going to the town to change something tomorrow. Let's go with each other and go together."

"What are you going to change?" Xia Zhi wondered. In the 1970s, there was no commune canteen, so it is understandable for the villagers to exchange fine grains for coarse grains with others, but now all the grains are sent to the Jiaotong brigade canteen. , The members don’t open fire at home, what can they change when they go to the town? Did you change a bunch of grain and put it in the cafeteria to invite others to eat?

Aunt Ma saw that her mind was a little loose, and she squeezed her eyebrows and said: "You will know if you follow me tomorrow, otherwise I won't mention you auntie in the future."

"Well, let's go together tomorrow." Xia Zhi said, and she wanted to see what Aunt Ma was mysteriously doing.

After she washed the dishes, she reported to the team leader. Tomorrow, she will go to the market with others. The team leader waved his hand and agreed to her application.

When it was still dark the next day, Aunt Ma came knocking on the door. Xia Zhi was shocked. She didn't expect to go to the fair so early. She didn't pretend yet, so she had to fool around and get some grass juice. Painted a few times, and then went out to meet Aunt Ma.

Aunt Ma saw her coming out, and said disgustedly: "Oh, you young man, things are really procrastinated. It takes so long to open the door. It won't work... By the way, why are you empty-handed and don't take things to town? Do you want to exchange with other people?"

Xia Zhi Haha smirked a few times and said: "No, I only have herbal medicine in my hand. I can't eat medicine, so I won't change it."

She saw Aunt Ma holding a basket in her hand, covered with a piece of cloth. She didn't know what was in it. Xia Solstice knew about it, and she didn't ask Aunt Ma, and Aunt Ma didn't tell her what she brought.

"All right, then let's go." Aunt Ma said.

"Okay, wait for me to lock the door." After the summer solstice closed the door, I followed Aunt Ma and walked out. When I reached the village, I found that there were a lot of people going to the fair. A group of people gathered under the big banyan tree.

Because there were too many people going to the market together, the ox cart in the village was not dispatched. Otherwise, the location of a cart would not be distinguished, so everyone simply used manpower together.

Xia Zhi secretly glanced at other people, and found that Aunt Ma was carrying relatively few things compared to other people. Some people were carrying a load, and the baskets where the things were placed were also covered with cloth strips, so you couldn’t see the inside. She was not so curious about what she was pretending, so she didn't use her spiritual knowledge to scan.

When all the people who were going to the fair arrived, the leader yelled and took a group of people to the town on a mighty walk. There were people from other brigade in the middle, and everyone was talking and laughing together. It took more than half an hour to get to the town, when the sky was just getting bright.

There is only one main road in the town, which is probably the place to go to the market. At this meeting, people have started to set up stalls on the side of the road. Everyone has different things in their stalls. The items they exchanged are varied, and the summer solstice can be seen intently.

Aunt Ma took her hand and said, "Doctor Xia, do you have anything you want to buy? If so, buy it first."

Xia Zhi said: "I don't need anything right now." She has two dollars left on her and she has no tickets. What can she buy? It's not even an eye addiction.

"Okay, if you don't buy anything, I will take you to a good place." Aunt Ma said.

"What's a good place?" Xia Zhi asked, at the same time thinking in his heart, is it a black market?

It would be great if Aunt Ma wants to take her to the black market. She is very busy during this time and has no time to go to the black market. If someone takes her there, she won't have to run around like headless flies in the future.

Aunt Ma did not answer her, but with a small smile, she mysteriously led her away.

Xia Zhi was curious about where she was going to take herself, so she didn't resist and followed.

Aunt Ma took her to an alley and then stopped in front of one of the houses. She looked around and found that there were no other people around before knocking on the door with confidence.

"Who?" A hoarse female voice came from the room.

Like a thief, Aunt Ma stuck her head on the door and whispered: "I, Xue Shantou belong to the Xue Sixi family."

"Oh, it's you, wait a minute." The husky female replied slowly, and then stopped talking.

After a while, Xia Zhi heard a slow sound of footsteps, and the door opened from inside.

After the door was opened, an old grandmother who was about seventy years old appeared in front of her. She glanced at Xia Zhi and said, "You still brought a new person?"

Aunt Ma immediately grabbed Xia Zhi’s hand and said, “Yes, don’t worry, I don’t dare to bring any messy people. This child is also a girl in our brigade. He was given away by his father when he was a child. Now he is back to find relatives. She doesn't understand many rules, so I brought her here and let her learn a little bit.
