Little People Rise

Chapter 42: Acquisition of Medicinal Materials
When the villagers were talking about Li Xiaoning, he rode his bicycle to the fork in the road that diverged from the neighboring village.

The driver, who had never been there before, didn't know which direction to go. When he stopped and was about to call Li Xiaoning, he heard the question and found out that the person was Li Xiaoning, a medicinal material seller in Shaling Village, so he followed Li Xiaoning into Shaling Village.

"Look, what is that? What a big monster?"

"Aunt Liu, that's not a monster, it's a walk-behind tractor!"

"Uncle Zhang, that's not a walking tractor, it's a truck!"

"Truck! Isn't a truck just a big tractor?"

Aunt Liu in her seventies, Uncle Zhang in her fifties, and a middle-aged man in his early forties in Shaling Village were surprised by the red truck driving behind Li Xiaoning.

Shaling Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the dirt road leading into the city is winding and narrow, and it is rare to see such a big red truck.

The people who were waiting to dig medicinal materials inside and outside Li Xiaoning's courtyard also ran out to watch the excitement when they saw the red truck. When they heard Li Xiaoning's shout, they were all stunned in surprise, and followed the red truck into the mountain with their hoes on their backs.

The red truck drives like ants walking. No one walks fast. The driver is a middle-aged man. He is sweating profusely on the dirt road that the car can just pass. Drive into this ghost place, go home and spend a minute with your wife.

"What the hell kind of place is this? It's nothing like shit!" The driver drove to the end of the dirt road, almost turned the steering wheel, almost slammed on the brakes to cripple his feet, and then turned the car around. After getting out of the car, he cursed. road.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses who came with the driver also took out a tissue from his bag and wiped his frightened sweat after getting out of the car.

The dirt road is only as wide as a truck. One side of the dirt road is a rice field and the other is a fish pond. If you are not careful, the car will either go to the fish pond to feed the fish, or go to the field to buy crops.

Li Xiaoning also went to the barren mountain medicinal field, and he first showed them a demonstration of digging medicinal materials with a hoe.

Then, the others started to move their hoes, imitating Li Xiaoning's action of digging for medicinal materials.

Twenty or two people dug for two hours of medicinal materials in the two acres of land, almost all of which were dug, and began to be weighed and loaded onto the truck.

Li Xiaoning took the notebook and notes and wrote down the weight of the medicinal materials when they were weighed.

I was busy until the afternoon, and all the more than 2000 catties of medicinal materials were weighed and loaded into the car.

Along with the driver came a middle-aged man, who ordered the full amount of medicinal materials for Li Xiaoning face to face, and said, "Li Xiaoning, the cash is clear in person, two thousand and one hundred catties, one hundred and fifty per catty, a total of 31. "

The villagers in the village who dug up the medicinal materials for Li Xiaoning and packed them were shocked when they heard the middle-aged man say that it was 31.

31!They never dreamed of so much money, but now it is in front of Li Xiaoning, it belongs to Li Xiaoning.

Isn't that the carrot?How can it be sold for one hundred and fifty-one catties?
No matter how much they didn't believe it, the snakeskin bag in front of Li Xiaoning contained brand new hundred-yuan bills.

"Xiao Ning, what kind of medicinal materials do you grow that are more expensive than the pigs we raise?"

"Xiao Ning, you really have the ability." The villagers changed from doubts to admiration. 31 people in such a traffic-blocked rural area are unheard of and unseen.

"Xiao Ning, you have made a name for yourself, and your parents want to enjoy the blessings with you."

Whether it is the villagers who helped Li Xiaoning dig medicinal materials, or other villagers who watched from afar, they are not shocked that Li Xiaoning earned more than 30 yuan by relying on two acres of wasteland where no birds shit. to a few dollars.

Not to mention hundreds of thousands, there are [-] deposits in Shaling Village, which can be counted on one finger.

When Li Xiaoning brought home more than 30 yuan, his parents were as surprised as they could be when they saw so many hundred-dollar bills.

They have been tired all their lives, and they have never seen so much money, and they have never even dreamed of it.

"I knew that my Xiao Ning would not do anything unsure!"

"My little Ning is capable!"

Seeing his parents excited and pleased, Li Xiaoning became more confident, nodded to his parents repeatedly, and said, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Ning said to let you two elders live a happy life, and he will definitely do what he says."

At this time, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Li Xiaoning turned his head to look, his expression was suddenly indifferent.

It was a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman who ran into Li Xiaoning's house without permission. They looked terrified and their lips turned white.

Immediately behind them, another villager came to watch the excitement outside Li Xiaoning's house.

Everyone in the village recognized the middle-aged man and woman who hurried into Li Xiaoning's house.

The middle-aged man and woman were not villagers from Shaling Village, but the Shen family couple from the next village.

Before Li Xiaoning's parents went to the next village to be humiliated by Shen's couple, everyone in Shaling Village knew about it, so they followed to watch the excitement.

When the Shen family couple ran into Li Xiaoning's yard desperately, Li Xiaoning's parents also glared at this pair of misers who only recognized money but not people with blood in their eyes.

"Xiao Ning! Xiao Ning! Help, help me save people!"

"Xiao Ning! We were all wrong before. We apologize to you. Carpenter Zhang fell off the shelf, and his back was pierced by a steel bar. We beg you, go and save him! "

It turned out that just this morning, Carpenter Zhang, who was building the house for the Shen family, fell from the shelf and onto a standing steel bar. The steel bar pierced into Carpenter Zhang's left chest. The barefoot doctors in the village dared not treat her. When she went to Shaling Village to find a barefoot doctor, she still dared not treat her.

Shaling Village is three hours’ drive away from the city, and the neighboring villages of Shen’s family are similar. The barefoot doctors in both villages told Carpenter Zhang that he needed an operation to take out the steel bars, although their sanitation was not as good as that of the surgeon. Tools, but they are only used for some simple operations. They dare not operate on the left chest, for fear that the operation will fail and cause unnecessary trouble.

The news that Li Xiaoning healed his parents and elementary school teacher Meng Xiaoqian in Shaling Village spread not only throughout Shaling Village, but also in Shenjia Village, a neighboring village.

Carpenter Zhang fell when he was building a house for the Shen family. If he really died, the Shen family would face the danger of collapse both mentally and materially.

There is a custom in the countryside that within three years of building a new house, there should be no bloodshed. If there is a bloody murder, it will be considered unlucky for the house's feng shui, and compensation will be required.

The Shen family spent almost all their savings on building the house, and borrowed money from relatives everywhere. If Carpenter Zhang really died in his house, they would think it was unlucky to build a new house, and they would dare to move in.

Moreover, they knew that after a craftsman in the village was working for others and died in an accident the year before last, the compensation was not tens of thousands or tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands.
