Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1118: Someone is on duty at the entrance to the mountain valley

On the day when he received his first month's salary from Huikan Hospital, Bian Mu transferred 3500 yuan to his mother through his mobile phone to supplement the household expenses, hoping that his mother could arrange a more comfortable life in her hometown.

When he went home to visit his family, Bian Mu found that the daily expenses for food, clothing and daily necessities at home had hardly changed. He patted his forehead and suddenly realized: his mother had saved the 3500 yuan directly for him. In the future, when Bian Mu bought a house and prepared to get married, his mother would be able to take out some of her savings to help him.

Bian Mu had no idea what the customs were in Lijin City. Qian Xiaotong's family was too rich to explain anything. Anyway, ordinary people in Lishi County generally followed this custom, so it was easy to understand.

When the second month's salary was paid, Bian Mu increased the amount to 5000 yuan.

When he returned home to visit his family, Bian Mu found that everything was the same as before.

From then on, Bian Mu followed the principle of neither adding nor subtracting, and it was up to his mother whether to save or spend the 5000 yuan.

At the beginning of the third month, Bian Mu started to bring things directly to the house. Since he was busy at ordinary times, he would send things by express delivery in the city, and buy whatever he thought of, including food and daily necessities.

Bian Mu has seen a lot of how relatives and friends of the same age as him get along with their parents. He found that one should respect and honor his parents as early as possible to avoid waiting until he becomes rich in the future and end up in the tragic situation of "a son wants to be filial but his parents are no longer there".

So, Bian Mu would keep an eye on his mother's pulse and complexion from time to time and prescribe some good medicine for her. The dosage was carefully calculated, and the insignificant negative effects had long been metabolized in daily life.

In addition, high-quality food, high-end maintenance products, famous home appliances... Bian Mu would add some of these to the house from time to time. Sometimes, he gradually realized that money is like a grandson, the more you spend, the more you have, and those who are stingy will only become poorer and poorer.

Bian Mu thought that his arrangement was quite good, but unfortunately, Bian's mother did not cooperate much.

Since their son came to the city, the Bian family's food, clothing and daily necessities have been upgraded by two or three levels. The old sisters who came to chat all praised Bian's mother for raising a good son. Once, one of the old sisters found that the Bian family had three or five sets of high-end dental cleaning machines. She was so surprised that she spread the word that the boy from the Bian family must have made a fortune in the city. Afterwards, Bian's mother enjoyed the long-lost sense of pride.

Bian's mother was frugal by nature, but she was not very good at managing the household. There were some things she didn't dare to ask her son directly. For example, she had never asked how much money Bian Mu earned in a month. She only inferred it from the changes in the friends Bian Mu interacted with, and the frequency and quality of food and daily necessities he brought home.

Bian's mother thought that the family's life had improved a lot, and the nutrition of protein, vitamins and the like must have been kept up, and she didn't feel any obvious discomfort, so why should she take tonic medicine! Therefore, she took the good medicine that Bian Mu brought back from time to time, especially when she was in a particularly good mental state, she would not remember to take it at all.

My husband was busy working to make money all day and was careless, so he didn't pay attention to whether she was taking medicine.

Bian Yue is away from home all day and rarely comes back on weekends. He doesn't even care about how his parents are doing at home.

To a certain extent, Bian Mu’s good intentions were naturally greatly reduced.

……

"Longyuan Trading Company", Nana's brother was taking inventory. When he saw Bian Mu approaching from afar, he put out his cigarette and Boss Feng strode out to greet him.

"Hey! The great doctor Bian is back! Nana must have caused you a lot of trouble in the city!" Boss Feng spoke as politely as ever.

"No, no! Bian Yue is so bored at school! The two of them just made an appointment to go out and play. Brother! I need to borrow a motorcycle to go into the mountains."

"Going to collect herbs again! There are duty points at the entrance of each valley. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the mountains. Didn't Nana tell you?" As he spoke, Boss Feng invited Bian Mu into the store to have some tea first.

"She was so busy playing with my sister that she probably forgot about it! Who are they? Could it be that they have taken over the entire Hongnigou?" Bian Mu was secretly surprised and asked casually. "Who knows? They are wearing ordinary security uniforms. I have talked to them a few times and their quality is not bad. It should be that the higher-ups are considering strengthening the management of the nature reserve. It's a good thing!"

"Then I don't have the relevant documents with me. Can they let me enter the mountain?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"I've seen it. You have to scan your face. If you carry anything else with you, you have to go through an X-ray machine." Boss Feng replied with a smile.

"No way! Is it that strict?"

"Of course not! However, I saw those herbal farmers coming in and out as usual, and there was not much difference from before. Those self-driving tourists were no match for them. They were all blocked outside the valley entrance, and they were not polite at all!"

"Is that so? Then I'll go over and try my luck."

"Then I'll fill up the gas for you, and come back for a few drinks!" As he said that, Boss Feng went to the backyard to push his motorcycle.

……

When going to Hongnigou to collect herbs, Bian Mu usually chooses the fork in the road where it is most difficult to travel. The road is difficult, there are few people, and the preservation rate of rare herbs is generally the highest.

When we arrived at the place, we could see from afar that a lot of iron fences had been built around the entrance to the mountain valley. The security guard on duty saw three or five special vehicles converted from vans parked there, two black and one white. Bian Mu guessed that the white one should be an X-ray inspection vehicle.

"These equipments are not cheap! 'Yiyoukang' doesn't have the spare time right now, and the funds are probably not enough. Could it be that Tao Wenjie and the others are up to something?!" After watching from a distance for a while, Bian Mu changed gears with his foot, stepped on the accelerator with his hand, and drove the motorcycle straight towards the entrance of the valley.

He parked the car, got out, and walked towards the male security guard closest to him.

"Cyclist? Traffic is closed here, turn around and go back!" The male security guard directly refused Bian Mu entry into the valley.

"Come! Have a cigarette!" While passing out cigarettes, Bian Mu lit one for himself.

"Pinch it, pinch it! The wind has dried out everything, you need to prevent forest fires, don't you understand!" Having said that, he took the cigarette and put his hands behind his ears.

"Sorry! I forgot about this. I heard that I need to scan my face to go into the mountains to collect herbs?" As he spoke, Bian Mu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes.

"You?! You have delicate skin and tender flesh. Are there any herbal farmers like you?! Stop cheating me! Go back to where you came from!" The security guard curled his lips and waved his hand, ready to send Bian Mu away.

"Just brush it! I really am here to pick herbs." As he said that, Bian Mu walked towards another younger male security guard.

The two security guards looked at Bian Mu doubtfully. The younger one took a barcode scanner or something like that from the small square table and scanned Bian Mu from top to bottom.

The results came out pretty fast.

"Wow! You really are a herbal medicine farmer! But... your certificate will expire at the end of the year! Bian Mu... Eh? You can't be the famous Chinese medicine doctor who is an internet celebrity in this city? That's right, whoops! Sorry, it turns out to be Doctor Bian! My apologies, my apologies!" As he spoke, the younger male security guard hurriedly stepped forward and asked Bian Mu to take a seat and rest for a while.
