The minibus was speeding on the winding mountain road, looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Zeng Cheng's heart was surging.

Today is July 12th, Zeng Cheng has received his graduation certificate and officially graduated from HKUST.

In the first ten days, Zeng Cheng has never stopped running. He first selected some suitable Chinese herbs from Baicao Space and went to the Chinese herbal medicine trading center in Qiaocheng, Anhui Province. There is China's largest Chinese herbal medicine trading market, the daily market volume of Chinese herbal medicines is as high as 6,000 tons, more than 2,600 varieties are listed, and the annual turnover of Chinese herbal medicines reaches more than 10 billion yuan.

In five days, Zeng Cheng successively sold Cordyceps, Ganoderma lucidum, Gastrodia, Polygonum multiflorum and other precious Chinese medicinal materials ranging from a few kilograms to more than a dozen kilograms, in addition, he also selected some ginseng with a growth year of less than 50 years. These Chinese medicinal materials brought Zeng Cheng nearly five million in cash income.

Moreover, in the face of the huge daily trading volume of more than 30 million in the Chinese herbal medicine trading center, Zeng Cheng's daily shipment of more than 1 million did not even stir up a wave. Without attracting anyone's attention, he managed to harvest more than five million in cash.

Such an effect is undoubtedly the most in line with Zeng Cheng's mind.

Subsequently, Zeng Cheng made a special flight to Tianfu City, the capital of Xichuan Province, and then went to Fucheng, where the work unit he signed a contract with, to negotiate with the unit to terminate the contract.

Although the unit was a little puzzled by Zeng Cheng's unexpected termination of the contract, it did not hold him back, which made Zeng Cheng greatly relieved. Although the memory left here in his previous life was not good, after all, it was the place where he had worked for several years, Zeng Cheng still had a good impression, and he didn't want to have trouble with the unit.

As for some restrictions after the termination, Zeng Cheng didn't care too much. Because for quite some time to come, what he intends to do will not violate the rules at all.

When I flew back to Feicheng from Fucheng, it was already July 11th, and it was the end of Wang Ning's exam. So he packed up his belongings again and boarded the train home with Wang Ning.

It's not that Zeng Cheng is reluctant to buy a ticket for Wang Ning, the thousand yuan is nothing to Zeng Cheng today, it's just that Zeng Cheng doesn't want to cause any trouble to Wang Ning, and he doesn't want to destroy the innocent friendship between the two.

Although he went home after graduation, Zeng Cheng didn't bring many things, he gave most of the things directly to the younger brothers and sisters who were still in school and had a good relationship with him, and then went home lightly.

After sending Wang Ning to the minibus back to his hometown in Linjiang at the Yudu North Bus Station, Zeng Cheng got on the train back to his hometown Shicheng again. Shicheng, where his home is located, is nearly 300 kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing.

After returning to Shicheng, Zeng Cheng did not stay in the city, and he didn't even go to the house of his eldest sister Zeng Min, who was doing business in the city, but directly got on the bus back to his hometown Jiuli Township.

The minibus crossed the Chengtang Pass at the junction of Baihuling and Zhuque Mountain, and a mountain dam with an area of more than 10 square kilometers appeared in front of everyone.

Bazi is the local name of the local plain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and its surrounding areas in southwest China. It is mainly distributed in intermountain basins, along river valleys and in foothills. With flat terrain, mild climate, fertile soil and convenient irrigation, Bashang is the economic center of prosperous agriculture and dense population on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Zeng Cheng's house is located in such a dam. The area of this dam is not large, not comparable to those dams with an area of hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers, but it is not small, with an area of about 145 square kilometers, roughly an oval shape more than four kilometers long and nearly three kilometers wide.

The dam is surrounded by high mountains, a tall mountain range with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters in the east, which is called Qinglong Mountain by the locals, Suzaku Mountain in the south, Baihuling Mountain in the west, and Xuanwu Mountain in the north.

Of the four mountain ranges, Qinglong Mountain is the highest, and the highest peak, Qinglong Peak, has reached 2597. 6 meters, and the average altitude has also reached more than 2,200 meters. The Xuanwu Mountain in the north is second, the main peak Xuanwu Peak is as high as 2,526 meters, and the average altitude is more than 2,100 meters. The Vermilion Bird Mountain in the south and the White Tiger Ridge in the west are relatively much shorter. The highest peak of Baihuling is only 1878. 2 meters, with an average altitude of more than 1,600 meters; The highest peak of Suzaku Mountain, Xiaosuzaku Mountain, is 1,695 meters high, with an average altitude of nearly 1,600 meters.

The Chengtang Pass where Zeng Cheng was located at this time was the junction of Baihuling and Zhuque Mountain, and it was also the lowest point of the mountains around the dam, with an altitude of only about 1,300 meters.

Over the Tangguan, the highway winds down the mountain, and the minibus travels for about five minutes, and the aunt who follows the car reminded: "The people who went to Wangjiawan and Qinglongwan have arrived and got off." ”

Zeng Cheng stood up, picked up his big backpack and computer bag, and walked towards the car door.

The place where the minibus stops is a fork in the road. Two dirt roads run left and right from both sides of the mud road, one to the east and one to the west.

After getting out of the car, Zeng Cheng walked along the dirt road on the other side. After walking about three hundred meters, a small hill with a relative altitude of about one hundred meters appeared in front of him.

The land inside this dam is not flat, and there are some small hills with relatively high elevations of tens of meters to one or two hundred meters. The one that appeared in front of Zeng Cheng was just one of many small hills.

This small hill is called Kirin Mountain, and there are some low bushes growing on the mountain, and occasionally some cedar trees, fir trees and other trees. In the jungle on the top of the mountain, a wooden stilted building with ethnic style is faintly revealed. That is Zeng Cheng's home, where he has lived for decades in his two lives.

The dirt road winds its way around Mount Kirin to the east. Zeng Cheng stepped on a small path next to him and headed for Qilin Mountain.

On both sides of the mountain road, there are patches of land. Crops such as corn and sweet potatoes grow in the fields. It is these lands that feed Zeng Cheng's family.

Although the area of these lands is not small, more than 20 acres, they are all very barren and the yield has not been high. Every year, Zeng Cheng's parents have to apply farm fertilizer and chemical fertilizer several times, and the harvest can only feed Zeng Cheng's family.

To the east of the foot of the mountain, there is a large area of fertile land, with a total area of two or three thousand acres. Among them, a few acres belong to Zeng Cheng's family, which is the production area of Zeng Cheng's staple rice.

In the middle of this large piece of farmland, there is a small lake with an area of about 200 acres, called Qinglong Lake. The lake is formed by the mountain streams flowing down from Qinglong Mountain, and is the irrigation water source for this large paddy field.

To the east of Qinglong Lake, there is a large forest. The main trees in the forest are aspen, so it is called poplar forest by the locals.

Looking down from Qilin Mountain, where Zeng Cheng's house is located, in the woods, you can faintly see many houses. This is the main settlement on this dam, and there are about 13,400 people living in it, all of whom have the surname Cheng, and it is also the family of Zeng Cheng's mother.
