The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

Lu Yao picked the Ganoderma lucidum and cut down the human-faced bamboo before meeting up with the two.

"Why did it take so long?"

The two were somewhat worried.

"These orchids are a bit hard to find."

"Let's go, it'll be dark by the time we get back to the village."

Lu Yao put Feng Lan into the medicine basket, picked it up and left.

The three returned to the village, and Lu Yao used a stone mortar to crush the herbs they had collected and applied them to his grandfather's wound.

"Huh, I feel that my legs and feet are no longer numb and painful, but itchy."

Grandpa exclaimed in delight.

He had previously tried applying herbal remedies externally, but the results were not as noticeable.

"The herbs I collected were older, and combined with the orchid my grandfather told me about, the effect was naturally better."

Lu Yao also used a drop of spiritual spring water, which made the effect even better.

"In that case, you really should be able to walk after applying the medicine for two days."

Grandpa was overjoyed.

He's always been a restless person, and these days he's been walking on one leg with a cane, which is very inconvenient and has made him very bored.

"Why can't you heal his foot faster? That way he won't run around everywhere."

"He's quite old, but he drives faster than young people. I've told him countless times not to drive so fast, but he just ignores me."

Grandma was happy inside, but she kept complaining.

"Where was the speed? Someone else bumped into me, and I twisted my ankle trying to avoid them."

Grandpa was not convinced.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything to you anymore. If you get into trouble again, I won't take responsibility."

Grandma said.

"You old woman, you complain that I'm in the way when I stay at home, and you complain that I neglect the family when I go to the cultural center to play cards and chess. What am I supposed to do?"

Unfairness.

"Alright, everyone calm down, let's eat."

Xie Suqin was already used to it.

Like many fathers from the countryside, my maternal grandfather was not used to living in the city.

His children wouldn't let him work in the mountains to collect herbs, and his grandson wasn't around. He was also a restless person, so he could only go to his friends to drink tea, chat, play chess, and play cards to pass the time.

After everyone finished dinner, they prepared to go back to the shop.

Grandma was frantically stuffing things into the car, as if she wanted to cram all the good things in the house in there.

Xie Qiurong gave her maternal grandparents two hundred yuan each.

The elderly couple refused several times, but eventually accepted it happily.

"Grandpa and Grandma, let's go to the city for a couple of days."

Xie Qiurong was raised by her maternal grandparents when she was a child, and she has a deep affection for this place and is reluctant to leave.

"Grandpa's foot injury makes things inconvenient, but there will be plenty of time later."

"Next time you visit your grandfather, remember to bring your girlfriend along."

Foreign buses waiting lane.

Xie Qiurong didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The old man always says the same thing.

At first, he would say yes, but after a while, he didn't know what to say anymore.

I agreed, but the old lady will be disappointed again if I come alone next time.

If I don't agree, I'm afraid of hurting the old lady's feelings.

Xie Qiurong didn't say a word the whole way.

What kind of job are you planning to look for?

Lu Yao asked him.

"I don't know either."

Xie Qiurong was somewhat confused.

He has no diploma, no skills, so he can only find manual labor jobs.

If he were content with mediocrity, perhaps he wouldn't be so lost.

Like most young people, he was unwilling to live a mediocre and uneventful life.

"The conscription period for the second half of the year has begun. If you can endure hardship, you can join the army."

Lu Yao had known him for five years and knew him somewhat.

He may seem carefree on the surface, but he is actually very responsible. He will not ask for help if he can solve a problem on his own.

He often borrowed money from Lu Jiming, but he always paid it back. He didn't refuse to pay back just because Lu Jiming was his brother-in-law, and he took it for granted that he would spend the money.

Lu Jiming usually ignores his brother-in-law, but those who know Lu Jiming know that he treats his brother-in-law differently, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to take him everywhere he goes.

Lu Yao is not someone who likes to make decisions for others; it's a thankless task.

Even if you succeed, people may not be grateful to you.

If you fail, you become an enemy.

When others ask for his opinion, he simply offers his own thoughts and lets them make their own decisions.

At this moment, facing the bewildered Xie Qiurong, he could only offer his own thoughts; whether or not the other party went was not up to him.

"Thanks, Brother Yao."

The confusion in Xie Qiurong's eyes disappeared.

He is still young, and there is still the cost of trial and error.

I can't find a goal to strive for right now, but the two years I spent in the military gave me plenty of time to think.

Having served in the military will give you more job opportunities in the future.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm home."

Back at the shop, Xie Qiurong immediately packed her things to go home.

"Why do you suddenly want to go home?"

Xie Suqin noticed that her younger brother was acting differently after he came back, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

"I want to go back and enlist in the army."

Xie Qiurong was radiant.

He believed that with his qualifications, he would definitely pass the physical examination and become a proud new recruit.

"join the army?"

Everyone except Lu Yao looked at him in surprise.

They never knew he had any intention of joining the army.

"The car's here, I'm leaving, bye-bye."

Xie Qiurong picked up her little nephew and kissed his cheek hard.

"You brat, little uncle."

Lu Yulin grabbed a tissue and frantically wiped his face.

Xie Qiurong slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked away without looking back.

What did you and my brother talk about?

Xie Suqin watched the ride-sharing car carrying her younger brother disappear into the traffic, then turned to look at Lu Yao.

The younger brother's sudden decision must be related to Lu Yao.

"We didn't talk about much, I just asked him if he wanted to join the army."

Lu Yaodao.

"No one in my family has ever served in the military. My parents would be very happy if he could join the army."

Xie Suqin was also happy for her brother's decision.

Lu Yao and his fellow villagers from Guangdong were drinking tea when a man from Sichuan called them on voice call.

"Brother Yao, are you back?"

"A man from Sichuan asked."

"I just got back a little while ago."

Lu Yaodao.

"At 10 o'clock, at the West Lake Hotel, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

"We must get there."

The man from Sichuan added a special note.

Lu Yao told everyone about how the Sichuanese man had treated them to a late-night snack.

Lu Jiming's parents, wife, and son were tired after a day's journey, so they didn't go.

At 10 o'clock, Lu Yao and Lu Jiming arrived at the West Lake Hotel on time.

Bashu Lao was already waiting for the two at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.

"Brother Yao, your medicine is really effective. My mother and sister have been able to sleep soundly for the past five days."

The people from Sichuan and Chongqing couldn't wait to express their gratitude to Lu Yao as soon as they saw him.

"Actually, you don't need to be so polite. Just send me a message, and I'll prepare another month's worth of medicine for your mother."

Lu Yao knew what he was worried about.

He had finally found someone who could alleviate his mother's condition, but he was worried that if he suddenly went home, it would be troublesome if she wanted to come to him to get the medicine.

"I found a precious medicinal herb in Luofu Mountain today. I can tell you with certainty that if your mother takes it for another month, her symptoms will improve by about 70-80%. As long as she doesn't suffer any more setbacks, she can live like a normal person."

Before the man from Sichuan could say anything, Lu Yao continued.

The people from Sichuan and Chongqing were stunned by this unexpected surprise.
