Chapter 12: Not for Everyone (New Book Asks for Recommendation Votes)
Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Qingshan got up and simply ate some leftover food from last night, packed a little cold rice balls, and went into the mountain with a snakeskin bag and a hoe.
At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and I can only vaguely see the road conditions.
If he hadn't obtained this divine power, he would never have dared to let Liu Qingshan, a sand sculpture, enter the mountain before dawn.
Although things like cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods may not exist, because I grew up in this environment surrounded by mountains and rivers, I can't help but make up some terrifying, eerie and weird stories in my mind.
For example, when he was a child, his father scared his big worm to go down the mountain and eat a disobedient child.
The so-called big insect is actually talking about tigers.
In the area of Xishan Village, before Liu Qingshan was born, there were tigers, and they were authentic South China tigers.
Later, in order to open up mountains and expand the living space of human beings, he used human wisdom to drive away wild animals and occupy mountains and forests frantically, so that many wild animals were displaced, including the South China tiger, the king of beasts.
The villagers never saw the 'big bug' again.
However, the villagers always like to make up horror stories about big insects coming down the mountain to eat children to scare disobedient children, and such stories are still widely circulated in the village.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan was also a little embarrassed.
If the tiger hadn't been killed, the village might have been very different by the presence of the tiger.
However, people at that time obviously did not expect that the livestock in the mountains would become rare animals.
While Liu Qingshan was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound in the bushes in front of him, like some big monster running at a very fast speed in the bushes.
Liu Qingshan immediately stopped and pricked up his ears to distinguish the source of the sound.
In the next second, he saw a large black shadow burst out of the bushes below the path, and instantly plunged into the bushes above the path with lightning speed.
All this happened in just one second, Liu Qingshan couldn't see what the figure was at all, and could only vaguely distinguish in the dim morning light that it was an animal on four legs.
Not birds, not monkeys, not small reptiles.
It's a big, four-legged reptile, and it looks like it has to weigh more than 200 pounds.
Could it be a tiger?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan hurriedly chased after the sound coming from the bushes.
But before he could find the figure, the sound in the bushes faded away, and at last disappeared into the valley, covered by the sound of the mountain stream rushing down from a high place, until it disappeared completely.
Hey, I thought I was so lucky, I thought that the big tiger would meet a tiger, but I didn't want to, two feet couldn't run four feet, and after all, I still pounced.
However, Liu Qingshan quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to walk towards the bamboo forest.
When I arrived at the bamboo forest, I didn't take a break and started digging bamboo shoots.
From the gray sky to the sunrise hill, dozens of catties of bamboo shoots have been piled on the ground.
Wiping his sweat, he straightened up, and just took a sip of the water in the bottle, when he heard someone call his name from afar: "Qingshan." ”
If it was a little girl's voice, then Liu Qingshan would have to have the evil smile that the male protagonist of the novel standardizes, and then hook the corners of his lips.
It's a pity that this voice is the voice of a middle-aged rough man.
Turning his head to look, he saw an uncle in the village who was about a few years old as his father was carrying a snakeskin bag and a hoe, and walked towards him happily.
This uncle's name is Lu Weidong, and he is one of the few laborers in the village who does not go out to work.
He has a son and a very beautiful daughter named Dandan.
Liu Qingshan saw that he was about to come to him, so he hurriedly responded to him: "Uncle, what a coincidence." ”
Lu Weidong and Liu Qingshan have different surnames, so naturally they are not relatives. Liu Qingshan called him 'uncle', which was just a polite salutation.
Lu Weidong is a few years younger than Liu Qingshan's father, so he looks younger than his father, stronger and stronger, and even his hair is a little darker.
Lu Weidong had already walked up to Liu Qingshan, and said with a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to dig bamboo shoots here." Yo, Qingshan, you can really do it, it's only been a while, and you've dug up so many bamboo shoots. ”
Lu Weidong's eyes lit up when he saw the pile of bamboo shoots on the ground: "I heard that you sold bamboo shoots in the town yesterday for ten yuan a catty?"
Liu Qingshan didn't deny it: "Yes, what's the matter, uncle, you also want to dig up and sell?"
Lu Weidong laughed twice: "It's not, now that the pine resin has been collected, there is nothing to do, I will also learn from you, and I plan to dig some bamboo shoots to sell." ”
"That's a good feeling, I just thought it was boring to dig bamboo shoots here alone, just right, you're here, let's be together. ”
Hearing Liu Qingshan's words, Lu Weidong was even happier. Originally, he thought that Liu Qingshan would hate him, or rather, he was not willing to let him dig bamboo shoots here, after all, if he also dug bamboo shoots here, it would be equivalent to robbing Liu Qingshan's business.
Unexpectedly, this kid is quite open-minded.
Lu Weidong said: "This is what you said, then I really won't leave, just dig here." ”
Liu Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh: "Uncle, you dig it, this bamboo forest is wild, and I didn't plant it, anyone can dig it." ”
"That's fine. Qingshan, you dig here, I'll go a little farther and dig at the other end of the forest. Lu Weidong was also very sensible, and walked towards the other end of the bamboo forest with his things.
Although the bamboo forest is quite large, the two of them can still occasionally chatter without a word.
When it was time for lunch, Lu Weidong dug up more than ten catties of bamboo shoots.
He returned to Liu Qingshan with bamboo shoots, and saw that there were already two large piles of bamboo shoots on the ground, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "Alas, old is old, you look at me, digging for a morning, back pain and leg cramps, so I dug so little, even the mud and soil, a total of less than twenty catties." ”
Liu Qingshan sat on the stone and drank water, and when he saw that Uncle Lu didn't gain much, he smiled and said, "Didn't you find the right way?" ”
"Why didn't I find the right one, this dragon point method for digging winter bamboo shoots, I knew it when I was a child, mainly because the winter bamboo shoots have not yet come to the soil, and they are buried deeply, so it is too difficult to dig, it seems that I can't eat this bowl of rice." Lu Weidong suddenly sighed, quite a kind of loneliness of the general's defeat.
"Then when your son is on vacation, let your son dig it. If you teach him this method of finding the dragon and the point, let him dig it, and sell it for money, and give him the money, I am sure he will be willing. ”
"Come on, you think today's children are as diligent as you. Besides, my son is about to take the college entrance examination, so he can't afford to be sloppy. ”
"That's just as well. Liu Qingshan asked, "Then you are planning to go back." ”
"Hey, why don't you go back? I'm just going to chop two bundles of firewood, and it's easier than digging this bamboo shoot, alas, I won't tell you, I'll go first." Lu Weidong said, and left with his more than ten catties of bamboo shoots.
Liu Qingshan originally thought that Lu Weidong could dig more than 100 catties of bamboo shoots a day, but he didn't expect that he would dig more than a dozen catties after digging for a morning.
It is no wonder that these winter bamboo shoots are buried deep in the ground, and digging them up is naturally time-consuming and laborious. It is only when Liu Qingshan has divine power that he feels extremely relaxed. Ordinary people dig winter bamboo shoots before they take bamboo shoots, which is really a very difficult thing.
However, this is of course beneficial and harmless to Liu Qingshan, so that it can reduce some competitors.
At the end of the day, Liu Qingshan really dug up more than 200 catties of bamboo shoots.
When he brought the bamboo shoots home, his mother was really stunned: "Qingshan, when did your strength become so great? Four bags of bamboo shoots, you picked them up like this?"
Not to be stunned.
Liu Qingshan found a calf-thick piece of wood as a flat burden, and then hung two bags of bamboo shoots at one end, and easily picked up the four large bags of bamboo shoots.
It's no wonder that Mom isn't surprised.
Liu Qingshan put down the bamboo shoots, pretended to take two breaths, and said: "What is this, when I was at the construction site, sometimes I had to carry five bags of cement at once." One bag of cement is fifty catties, and five packs are two hundred and fifty catties. ”
"It turned out to be the strength that I had cultivated on the construction site. The mother looked at her son with some distress, "Alas, it's all because your parents are incompetent, and you have suffered so much at a young age." ”
Seeing that his mother believed his nonsense, Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, Mom, young people just have to endure more hardships." There is a saying that if you suffer hardship, you will become a master. ”
Of course, the mother didn't understand the meaning of this, but when she saw that her son could still laugh, she was not so worried.
She just admonished: "Qingshan, in the future, don't pick such heavy things anymore, you are still young, if you tire your waist, it will be bad." ”
"Got it, Mom. ”
