Chapter 2 Blue Meteorites
"Brother Huang, you are too seriously injured, you have to deal with it from the school doctor. Zeng Tucheng helped Huang Zhenghua and said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's all internal injuries, go back and rub some medicinal wine, massage it, and cupping. "Huang Zhenghua knows that he suffered a few kicks in the process of fainting just now, and he was stamped on his stomach and back, which is an internal injury, and in the treatment of internal injuries, our traditional Chinese medicine has an advantage over Western medicine.
In the afternoon, Huang Zhenghua returned to his home in Flushing's Chinatown in Queens.
"Uncle Chen, I'm back. Huang Zhenghua took off his shoes at the door and said in a loud voice to his family.
This is a one-bedroom, one-living room, one kitchen and one bathroom house, with a balcony of about two square meters, 800 US dollars a month, paid monthly, the landlord is also a Chinese, the person is not bad, sometimes owes two months of rent, knowing that Huang Zhenghua and their family are poor, the other party is not urging.
Uncle Chen walked out of the kitchen with an apron on his chest, saw Huang Zhenghua's blue nose and swollen face, and said, "Fighting with people again?"
This is his father's iron buddy Uncle Chen, sixty-four years old, Huang Zhenghua's mother died of an illness when he was five years old, in fact, it is not a serious illness, but the poor have no medical insurance in country M and look down on the disease.
After his father also died eight years ago, Uncle Chen is Huang Zhenghua's only relative in this world, and he has always taken care of himself like a father.
Uncle Huang and his father came to country M together in their thirties.
Uncle Chen said, took off his apron, and took down the medicinal wine soaked in herbs on the shelf next to him.
Huang Zhenghua had no choice but to take off his shirt and lie on the sofa.
"Sizzle, uncle, you tap, tap!"
"Hmph, now that I know it's painful, how many times have I told you that you have to endure things outside, why don't you listen to it, you say, how many times have you been injured this month?"
"Sizzle!" Huang Zhenghua took a deep breath, experience told him that the wise thing to do now is to keep his mouth shut, if he is verbose, Uncle Chen will work harder.
"I can't bear it, this is M country, not China, you talk to Lao M about the word forbearance, not to take a step back to open the sky, but to retreat yourself step by step to the edge of the cliff, you endure, on the contrary, they will think that you are weak and can be bullied, they will bully you even more. ”
"And they're too bullying, it's racism, I ...... I can't stand it. Huang Zhenghua said forbearingly.
The massage lasted for half an hour.
After dinner, Huang Zhenghua told him about meeting Zeng Tucheng today.
The two chatted, and Huang Zhenghua suddenly said: "Uncle, there will be a summer vacation in a few days, I have decided, I will go to the wild to dig ginseng in the summer vacation, and now this wild ginseng has a very good market in China, and there are many traders here who specialize in buying ginseng, I want to try it." ”
Now the wild ginseng here is very large in the domestic market, if you are lucky, it is normal to earn two or three thousand dollars a day, of course, bad luck, you can't find it for a day.
Although I have never gone up the mountain to dig, I have studied Chinese medicine with Uncle Chen, and I am quite familiar with the environment in which ginseng is generated, so it should not be difficult to find it in the wild.
"No, I can't. Uncle Chen flatly refused.
"I have to go this time, I can't always let you go to the restaurant to help people wash the dishes, now that I'm older, it's time to do something for the family. "Traditional Chinese medicine has not been recognized by the society in country M, Uncle Chen's treatment of people is also a sideline, the patients are all acquaintances in Chinatown, never treat strangers, there is no single order for a few days, most of the income still depends on Uncle Chen to help people wash dishes in restaurants, only 1,800 US dollars a month, except for rent, the life of the two is miserable.
Now that there are two months in the summer vacation, Huang Zhenghua plans to use these two months to dig ginseng in the wild to make some money, if he is lucky, he can dig up a hundreds of years old ginseng, which is a lot of income, more than helping people wash dishes in the restaurant.
Seeing that Huang Zhenghua had made up his mind, Uncle Chen had to agree, so in the evening, Uncle Chen told Huang Zhenghua in detail about looking for ginseng and how to dig ginseng.
Uncle Chen finally wanted to go together, but was rejected by Huang Zhenghua, Uncle Chen was old and climbed the mountain too hard.
In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of June, the summer vacation was over.
Huang Zhenghua carried the brigade on his back, carrying a $600 KA47 and two magazines and headed northwest.
This was bought by Uncle Chen at the gun shop last year when Huang Zhenghua was 18 years old, and it has never been useful, but now it can finally come in handy.
At noon came Ofake.
There were various brand-name sports cars shuttling around, and there were black young people who didn't pull up their pants and showed half of their underwear with thick chains hanging from them.
I got a certificate locally, spent 500 dollars, and spent a day on training, mainly how to distinguish the age of ginseng, what kind of ginseng to dig and what not to dig.
There are also many students like Huang Zhenghua who come to dig ginseng in the summer, some of them are domestic international students, and they come to experience it, and these domestic international students are generally very rich.
After passing the training, at noon on the third day, Huang Zhenghua walked alone to the mountains with the travel on his back.
The environment in which ginseng grows is good soil, that is, the content of organic matter is high, the bulk density of the soil is low, the soil is loose and fertile, and the proportion of solids, liquids and gases in the soil is moderate.
Country M has a high forest coverage rate and is full of oak trees, white trees, mangroves and oak trees.
The sound of birdsong all around, and the thick quilt of leaves piled up for a long time under your feet, stepped on it, like a quilt, made a clicking sound, as if there was a huge hole underneath that would sink at any time.
Huang Zhenghua is digging ginseng for the first time, although he has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from Uncle Chen, but the first time he came to the wild, he didn't know where to start for a while, and there were jungle weeds everywhere.
"Uncle Chen said that ginseng likes to grow in places with its back to the sun. After looking for two hours, without a clue, Huang Zhenghua began to be a little anxious, began to recall the knowledge that Uncle Chen taught him, and began to look for the place where the north yang turned to the yin.
Maybe there are too many ginseng in the wild in country M, or Huang Zhenghua's luck and finally found one after half an hour.
Five compound leaves, ten red fruits, stand out in the green vegetation.
"Five compound leaves, at least five years. Huang Zhenghua put down his backpack and carefully observed.
As for what is said in China, a red rope should be tied before digging to prevent ginseng from running, Huang Zhenghua completely ignored it.
Looking at Lutou, there are at least more than ten years!
Yesterday's training stipulates that ginseng under five years old is not allowed to be harvested, and this is at least ten years or more.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhenghua began to get started.
Finally, the whole root of the ginseng was dug up completely.
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon. ”
After digging up the third ginseng, Huang Zhenghua looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and he packed his things and prepared to go down the mountain.
It was at this time that an unexpected thing happened.
I saw a meteor piercing the sky.
"Bang!" the meteorite landed not far away.
"It's not good, it's going to be on fire!"
Huang Zhenghua was the closest, put down his backpack and extinguished the fire before it burned.
It was a small crater, and smoke began to rise from the ground, and Huang Zhenghua went over to quickly extinguish the fire.
"Meteorites are also valuable. Huang Zhenghua thought to himself.
Meteorites are fragments of other stars outside the sky that fall to the earth, and have very high scientific research value for the study of stars other than the earth.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhenghua began to dig up.
The meteorite was a little deep in the ground, and the ground was thick, and after digging for 70 centimeters, the meteorite finally appeared.
The meteorite was a little weird, glowing blue and bubbling.
"A meteorite of blue light?"
Huang Zhenghua was a little surprised to see the meteorite emitting blue light in the soil.
Such a meteorite has never been heard of, what is this meteorite?
Slowly touched, not very hot to the touch, smelling like a burnt circuit board.
Huang Zhenghua took it in his hand and began to look at it, and the meteorite cracked out a special and beautiful pattern, shining with blue light.
"Not good!"
When it was too late, those patterns began to spread to Huang Zhenghua's palm, as if a soldering iron was on it.
Huang Zhenghua threw away the meteorite in horror, but it was too late, the Dao pattern had been clearly imprinted on the palm of his hand, and began to emit a pink light, a fear that had never been heard before.
Like a virus, the dao lines began to spread from the palm of the hand to the arm, and quickly passed through the spine to the brain, and Huang Zhenghua's mind began to dizzy .......
The nearest brown weasel, with its slender body supporting its fluffy tail, was just swept over its body by the blue light, and it fainted on all fours.
The dazzling blue light in the dense woods was like a glow in the darkness, startling the other animals in the woods.
