Druid's Country Retirement

50 years old ginseng root.

A piece of 10-year-old wild ginseng.

40-year-old Angelica sinensis.

30-year-old Codonopsis pilosula.

……

Watching Xiao Wuzi settling accounts one after another with his fingers, Zhou Dasheng became more and more frightened as he listened.

There are so many medicinal materials that have been around for decades, and even 40 million, let alone 400, can't buy them.

Finally, Xiaowuzi thought of something and said seriously.

"There is also the consultation fee for my senior sister and master. It's not too much to charge you 2 for two sets of large injections. I don't have to pay for the medicine decoction."

Zhou Dasheng is not a person who repays kindness with enmity. The project was a private job he took on, and he also brought the equipment for the team members. Now the project was destroyed, the equipment was buried in the soil, and the team members were almost wiped out.

The most important thing is to destroy the mountain behind others.

Village Chief Li has done his utmost to be benevolent. Not only did he not ask for compensation for the losses, but he also helped save people. How could he not pay the medical expenses?

"Don't worry, I will sell the house and pay for the medicine when I get back. Village Chief Li, don't worry."

……

Turn toward the sky and turn nineteen.

The two cars drove slowly up to the top of the mountain. Dad and mom pulled Shan Xing and the two sisters out of the car. They took a bunch of photos and then left in the car with satisfaction.

I don’t know how my brother gave my daughter the acupuncture.

I didn't receive a call from my eldest brother or sister-in-law, so it should be fine.

Shan Xing looked through the car window at Caogou Village, which was getting closer and closer, feeling a little uneasy.

"I'm so exhausted. It's so difficult to drive on this broken road."

The second brother-in-law got out of the car and stretched his sore and painful legs. Not only did he drive all the way, but he also walked on the mountain road for a long time, which was a big burden on a body that didn't exercise much.

"I'll ask San'er to come out and move things."

"San'er, get out, the dog got in. You can hide at home and feel comfortable."

Swearing and walking away.

Disappeared through the courtyard gate.

After a while.

The second brother-in-law ran out in panic. Even as he passed the gate, he tripped on the threshold and shouted in the confused eyes of Lao Li's family.

"Oh no, my home was robbed."

What!

When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic.

impossible!

How could San'er be robbed at home, and there are so many animals at home?

animal! !

Everyone looked back at the car. The meerkat group and October had blurred eyes. Anna, who was motion-sick, was forcibly held in his arms, looking weak.

Even if they are not here, there are still wolves and dogs in the house.

"Let's go in and take a look." The father showed his patriarchal attitude at this time and took the lead into the courtyard gate.

Go through the aisle.

The rice field was in a mess, with various tools scattered, mud, footprints, and a thick layer of dust all over the ground.

It's not like being robbed, it's more like having your home demolished.

But the house at home is in good condition, and there is even no shortage of bacon hanging under the eaves to dry.

"The footprints and mud came from the backyard." The eldest brother-in-law pointed to the corridor.

The second brother-in-law added, "It can't be that something happened to San'er's precious medicine garden!"

Li Hongbing’s medicinal garden, the family members all know that all the rare wild medicinal materials grown there, especially the ginseng, are the rarest among the rare.

Don't let anything happen to the medicine garden.

Otherwise San'er would be heartbroken to death.

For safety reasons, the women stayed in the front yard. The father and his two sons-in-law picked up shovels and hoes, and walked towards the backyard with their heads in the air.

Wait until you come out again.

The three men looked lost, which aroused the curiosity of the women.

"How's the medicine garden? Isn't it really a thief?"

"What's wrong with you three? It's like you have lost your souls."

"Brother-in-law, something happened in the backyard?"

Faced with these problems, the three men looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to speak.

Just say it's okay.

The mountain col is gone.

Say something is wrong.

What is this?

I went to Qinglong Village for two days and when I came back, half of my home was gone! !

"Hey, what a sin! How can I have a son like this? If I had known that he would be thrown into a toilet pit and drowned, how could I tell my father after I die?" The father angrily threw away the shovel in his hand, turned around and got into the room to get angry. Stifling.

"Boss, what's going on!" My mother was confused and grabbed the two sons-in-law.

"Mom, the mountain col in the backyard is gone!" the eldest brother-in-law said speechlessly.

"That's it. If it's gone, it's gone." My mother then replied and suddenly realized, "It's a good col, why don't you get it? Who can steal it?"

The second brother-in-law shrugged his shoulders, also looking puzzled, and still did not forget to apply eye drops to his brother-in-law.

"It is indeed gone. It has turned into a big puddle now. Darling, what do you think San'er is? The Bailong Pond was left by grandpa. Just dig it if you want. Tsk tsk!"

At this time, the father came out of the house and became even more angry when he heard what the second son-in-law said.

"I want to sever the father-son relationship with him and drive him out of the Li family!!"

As the old saying goes, children are the flesh that fell from the mother's body. When the father said that he wanted to sever the relationship between father and son, the mother didn't care and retorted.

"The house deeds and land deeds were left by the old man to his grandson. What do they have to do with you? Besides, it's just a ravine. It will be destroyed if it is destroyed."

"!!!" The father was speechless and trembling with anger. He turned to look at his second brother-in-law and said, "Second brother, send me back to the city. I can't stay here any longer."

Shan Xing quickly stood up to comfort him, "Dad, let's wait until Brother Hongbing comes back to talk about what happened. Maybe it wasn't Brother Hongbing who did it."

"Myolie, don't pay attention to this old guy, just tell him to stop talking, he will just talk." My mother revealed my father's details without any shame, and the latter looked embarrassed and mumbled to find an excuse. Go away.

"What are San'er doing? He's not answering the phone!" The second brother-in-law looked at the phone angrily. As soon as he aroused his father's anger, he was suppressed by his mother with a critical blow. All his efforts were in vain.

"Maybe there is something delayed." The mother explained to her youngest son thoughtfully, picking up the broom leaning against the wall, "Don't be idle, sweep the floor first, there will be dirt everywhere."

Lao Li's family started cleaning and tidying up the yard.

After taking care of the wounded, Li Hongbing walked home carrying two pieces of old tofu. When he went home, he made a dish of fried cabbage and tofu with lard residue, which was so delicious that he bit his tongue.

As I walked towards the old house, I saw two cars parked at the door from a distance.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No, why are they all back?

Xing'er didn't know how to call and inform.

He took out his cell phone and saw a dozen missed calls, including calls from Shan Xing, as well as calls from his two brothers-in-law and sister.

Only then did he react.

I'm so deaf that I can't hear.

How to do?

If daddy sees that Bailongtan is gone, he won't have to beat himself to death with the soles of his shoes.

Li Hongbing thought it was better not to go home and let both of them calm down. After all, Tan could not be resurrected.

Everything is destroyed, it’s a natural or man-made disaster!

Chichi!

The group of meerkats, who had recovered from motion sickness, had smelled Li Hongbing's scent for a long time. They hadn't seen each other for two days. They excitedly broke away from Anna's arms, jumped out of the car, ran to Li Hongbing, screamed in excitement, and pulled up his trousers.

October also walked out, but the pace was still a little weak.

When Li Hongbing saw this, he knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the old house surrounded by animals. Go through the aisle.

The second brother-in-law, who was flushing the yard with a hose, saw his brother-in-law appear and immediately reported the news in a strange manner.

"Hey, look who's back. They've only been gone for two days and they demolished half the house. How can you be so capable!"

The two sides faced each other, and Li Hongbing knew from the shape of his mouth that the second brother-in-law was deliberately stirring up trouble.

He grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and raised his fist to gesture fiercely.

"Are you looking for a beating?"

When it comes to combat prowess, the second brother-in-law is self-aware that even ten of himself cannot defeat his brother-in-law.

But when it comes to adding fuel to the fire, burning bridges, adding insult to injury, and stirring up trouble, ten brothers-in-law are not the only ones.

The second brother-in-law turned around and summoned reinforcements.

"Dad, your son is back. He will beat me if he says a few words. Can he still live like this? Who is in charge of this old Li family!"

Dad suddenly walked out of the main room, taking off his belt from his waist as he walked.

Ah!

Although I don’t know what the second brother-in-law said, it’s definitely not good.

And the father's action of unbuckling the belt was extremely familiar, and it still had the same taste.

I was spanked a lot when I was a kid. At first I was stiff and stiff, but then I ran away when I saw the belt.

The memory engraved in the bones is activated, and the body reacts instantly to stress.

run! !

As soon as he turned around, the second brother-in-law was standing across the aisle with a sinister smile, obviously trying to stop him.

I don’t dare to fuck dad, and I don’t dare to fuck you either.

Little Kara, see what you can do!

Li Hongbing grinned, rushed forward, leaned over and picked up his second brother-in-law, ran to the vegetable garden in a few steps, and threw him into the mud.

what!

After a scream, the second brother-in-law fell into the mud with his head turned to the sky and his face to the ground, like a dog eating shit.

The women who heard the sound and came out saw this scene and did not dissuade them. They just stood aside and watched the excitement.

It is a good thing for brothers-in-law to fight and fight, which shows that the family is harmonious.

The eldest brother-in-law grinned.

These two people are really natural enemies, and they are always trying to trick each other.

"Li Hongbing, you dog, I'm not done with you." The second brother-in-law stood up from the mud, pursed his lips, and suddenly realized that the taste was wrong, "Bah, who the hell is shitting in the ground."

Naturally, Li Hongbing couldn't hear these words.

In order not to worry my family, I had to try my best to cover up my deafness, but no matter how hard I tried to cover it up, the flaws would always be revealed.

Shan Xing was the first to notice the problem. The meerkat group squatted in the grass beside the vegetable garden and chirped at Brother Hongbing, but Brother Hongbing didn't seem to hear it.

To verify my guess.

Shan Xing walked up behind Li Hongbing and shouted softly, "Brother Hongbing, your pants are dirty."

Li Hongbing walked toward the backyard corridor quietly.

"Brother Hongbing, did you hear what I said?" Shan Xing's eyes welled up with tears, and what he had been worried about happened.

The Li family also noticed that something was wrong with Li Hongbing. The second brother-in-law quickly climbed out of the vegetable garden and deliberately stood behind his brother-in-law.

"Red Soldier, I'm calling you, do you hear me?"

How could Li Hongbing hear it as his back was turned to the two of them, but the expressions on his sister and brother-in-law's faces fully demonstrated that his deafness had been exposed.

"San'er, what's wrong with your ears!" My mother cried and ran over, pulling Li Hongbing's arm, her face full of concern and distress.

The two sisters also gathered around Li Hongbing, asking all kinds of questions about the reason.

Shan Xing just stood aside and cried silently.

In fact, as early as Brother Hongbing said that treating Nannan would be implicated, he thought of the last time he saved someone who was in a coma for more than a month. Brother Hongbing had been comforting himself, saying that nothing would happen, so he could only force himself to believe it.

It turns out.

Brother Hongbing lied to himself.

He is deaf.

"Why are you making so much noise? There's no work left!" The father walked out of the kitchen with a rag and saw everyone on the rice field surrounding his son.

Just as the second brother-in-law was about to speak, Li Hongbing grabbed him and said, "I will speak for myself."

Dad's heart disease is just a little better and he can't bear the trouble.

After that, he patted his mother's hand comfortingly, walked up to his father, and pretended to be relaxed.

"Old Li Tou, I was treating someone two days ago and you were injured?"

"Is the injury serious?" The father didn't bother to correct his son's name for him. He looked up and down and saw no sign of injury.

Li Hongbing turned his head and pointed to his ear, "I just can't hear you for the time being. It will be fine after a while. Talk to me face to face and I can understand the mouth shape."

Dad nodded, "Which patient is there? Has he been cured?"

"Ouyang Hua's daughter is frightened. Just give her a few injections and she'll be fine." Li Hongbing said lightly.

"It's Nannan!" Dad reacted calmly, but the concern and nervousness in his eyes flashed away. He raised his hand and patted Li Hongbing on the shoulder, "When your father was alive, he would not go home for ten days and a half at a time. You and I are the only ones in the house, and I am angry. Your mother said that curing diseases and saving people is better than doing good deeds. Your father is doing good deeds and our Lao Li family are all long-lived people."

My sister, brother-in-law, and mother looked at my father in surprise.

I thought Lao Li would be jumping up and down anxiously, but who knew he would be so reasonable.

It's like he's become a different person.

"What do you mean? You really think I cry for father and mother, then you are looking down on me!" Dad looked at everyone with disdain, "San'er is doing good deeds by treating illnesses and saving people. God will not cheat good people. Isn't it just deafness? San'er is doing good deeds. I told you that just a while will be enough, just hurry up and get a ball."

After mocking his family, the father turned around and frowned, and said to Li Hongbing.

"But having said that, San'er, why did the mountain col in your backyard disappear? Take the time to go and make amends to your father."

Why is the mountain col in the backyard gone?

Isn't it because Bailongtan is ruined? It's necessary to go and tell Grandpa.

At worst, I'll ask Sun Qiang to build a new Bailongtan.

Li Hongbing curled his lips in disapproval.

The next moment, an arm was put on the shoulder, and the second brother-in-law put his head in front of his brother-in-law.

"San'er, you are making so much noise in the backyard. You are not satisfied with having a pond at home. You are planning to build a lake to raise fish!"

What lake?

I don't understand what you are saying.

Li Hongbing stretched out his hand to push away the ugly face of his second brother-in-law, "It's time now. Don't add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, Bailongtan is gone. I can just ask Sun Qiang to cover it again!"

Bailongtan!

The second brother-in-law and his father looked at each other and seemed to realize that San'er didn't know what was going on in the backyard.

Who did that? There are so many footprints on the ground.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have a look!" The second brother-in-law didn't hesitate and pulled Li Hongbing towards the backyard.

Dad and eldest brother-in-law quickly followed behind.

Coming to the backyard, the wolf dogs stayed in the medicine garden, guarding the herbs buried in dust.

When he saw his father coming back, he waggled his tail and leaned forward to whimper.

Li Hongbing slowly frowned as he looked at the scarred medicine garden, squatted down, and reached out to sweep away the dust that fell on the leaves of the herbs.

Confused.

I remember it was fine when I left, but now it feels like there has been an earthquake, with dust everywhere.

Get up and continue walking towards the col.

Come to the tea tree garden.

Looking at the lake in front of him, his head seemed to have been punched by someone, and he was frozen in place.

Made!

Where is my mountain col?
