Chapter 306 [Give away seeds]
During this period of time, I don’t know what happened to Xie Guang’an. The wrinkles on his face became more obvious, and the root of his hair was also a little white. It seems that the situation in the world is not good. , adding a lot of stress.
However, Xie Guang'an didn't complain too much when he heard Fang Chang's question. Instead, he didn't know whether to comfort Fang Chang or himself: "Actually, the neighborhood is fine. It’s not like there’s a lot of trouble going on in many parts of the world.”
"Compared to those lands where there was chaos or bandits, this place can still be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous world, so it is very fortunate. After all, this world does not know what will happen in the future... It is a good day to be able to live in peace. "
"I just heard that this year's tax will increase again."
After saying this, Xie Guangan lowered his head and started to eat his portion of tofu noodles.
Some mutton soup was also poured into the tofu noodles, and two thick slices of stewed tofu were covered on the noodles, which made it very tasty. Although not as good as the signature mutton noodles here, it is still very popular with the townspeople and passers-by.
It seemed that he didn't want to say more on this topic. Xie Guangan just snorted and buried himself in eating, picked up the shoulder pole and goods next to him, got up and left, and went to find his usual night residence.
Fang Chang looked up and saw that the sun in the west was almost setting, so he got up to pay the bills, found another small stall, bought two stacks of Fuhu pancakes with heavy oil and sugar, stuffed them into the package, and then left the town and headed north.
The Baigou River outside Huqiao Town is still rumbling, and the waves continue to beat on the straight river bank under the bridge.
Fuhu Bridge is still the same, and the small animals of different shapes on the railings on both sides are also the same as in the past, and time has not left any traces on it. Only the official road was still noisy, and there were many pedestrians and vehicles rushing towards the town before the sun set. They even had no time to look at the huge stone engraved with the three characters "Huqiao Town" when they passed by.
...
The rest of the journey is not far away. Even with long eyesight, standing at the entrance of the town, you can see the outline of Xianqi Cliff when you look up.
And this short journey, for Fang Chang, who took advantage of the lack of people on the road in the evening, completely let go of his pace, it was only a moment, and he stood at the foot of the mountain.
From here, you can see the creek flowing through the town, and then bend towards the Baigou River; you can also see the smoke from every house in Linxi Village; and then you can see the surrounding terraced fields, The area of medicinal material fields has been significantly expanded.
He passed through the village lightly, heading towards Xianqi Cliff.
The entrance to Xianqi Cliff has been changed, and now you have to follow the cliff path built by Fang Chang himself to get to the main entrance of Xianqi Cliff.
However, he used a large formation to cover the entrance of the plank road.
From then on, only predestined people can walk up to Xianqi Cliff.
Going back to the cliff this time, Fang Chang felt that he would stay on the cliff for a while. He planned to live in Xianqi Cliff for a while, waiting for the best time to go to the East China Sea. Too early or too late, maybe it will make it difficult for you to find your purpose, or you will encounter real danger.
After turning over two hills, Fang Chang stopped suddenly, stayed in a certain place, and waited silently.
After a while, there was a sound of slapping.
Then, I saw Lin Hai from Linxi Village, holding a steel fork, walking out of the mountain with a medicine basket on his back, and a fat rabbit that had already whimpered on his belt.
He quickly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed in salute:
"Lin Hai has met the fairy elder!"
"Long time no see, Lin Hai, did you go to the mountains to collect medicine?" Fang Chang looked at the medicine basket behind Lin Hai, and the small medicine pot that was more than a foot long on his waist, and asked with a smile.
"It's true, it's true." Lin Hai patted the medicine basket on his back, and said, "Among the nearby prefectures, Yunzhong Mountain has the most complete variety of medicinal materials. I planted medicinal materials in Linxi Village, and it has been very effective so far. I just save the seeds. Progress is slowing down."
"Anyway, there is nothing to do at this time, so I just bought a medicine basket and walked in the mountains again, which can be regarded as regaining half of my previous identity." This Lin Hai used to be a woodcutter in the village, and he kept going into the mountains all day long, picking far away Sell them in cities and towns for a few pennies.
Because he often goes out, he is also regarded by the villagers as "a man of insight". After Fang Chang went up to Xianqi Cliff, when he saw Lin Hai for the first time, he met Lin Hai looking for medicine.
At that time, his friend was seriously ill, but the medicinal materials used to save his life were not complete, so he had to ask the doctor for a design, and went to the mountain alone to look for it, which was considered as doing his best to obey the destiny.
As a result, Lin Hai had a deep relationship with him, and met Fang Chang, who easily solved the problem of taking medicine. Later, the water source in Linxi Village was cut off, and it was Lin Hai who went to Xianqi Cliff in person, asked Fang Chang as his helper, and saved the entire village.
"Okay, not bad." Fang Chang praised: "When I came, I saw the medicinal materials in the terraced fields beside Linxi Village. You did a good job. It is estimated that thousands of people have survived because of it."
"I haven't done enough." Lin Hai bowed his head and said politely: "This time I am looking for some herbs, and try to see if they can be transplanted into terraced field nurseries. No small expansion.
"You wait a moment."
Fang Chang suddenly untied the package on his back, he reached out and touched it twice, took out a small paper bag from the package, and handed it to Lin Hai:
"Next."
"What is this?" Lin Hai asked curiously after taking it.
Inside are the various herbal seeds that Fang Chang asked for when he was in Nanping Mountain. This is what Fang Chang originally wanted to plant in the nursery on the cliff. Now that he met Lin Hai, he generously shared half of it with him.
"It's full of herbal seeds. I just got it recently. Use it well and live as many varieties as possible. It will be a good thing for the people in the world to reduce every pain."
Lin Hai was overjoyed: "Thank you for the gift!"
Then he carefully opened a small corner of the paper bag and looked inside, for fear of spilling it. Seeing the name of the medicine and other words written on the paper bag inside the paper bag made me even more satisfied.
Fang Chang suddenly asked from the side: "I remember you had a yellow dog before, where is it now?"
Lin Hai's expression darkened, and he sighed and said:
"Ah Huang has been with me for many years. Last winter, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and died. But my wife liked it a lot. I'm going to ask someone to ask about it and raise another one."
"Well, do it well." Fang Chang patted Lin Hai's shoulder lightly, encouraged him, then passed him and continued to walk towards Xianqi Cliff.
But Lin Hai did not dare to neglect, bowed at the spot, and politely sent Fang Chang away. The paper bag full of medicinal seeds has been put into his bosom and kept in a very safe place.
