Chapter 02: The Shennong Sutra
"Look at you, you don't stay at home, if you have to go out to drill in the mountains and forests, you will be thin and black and have no international student appearance at all." Wei Da's home is in the countryside of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River; When he came back from the Shennongjia investigation, he was naturally complained by his mother Huang Yue.
"Don't you call your son angry, that's what I studied." Wei Da grinned and leaned on his mother's shoulder and smiled.
"Go and go, the most important thing is that you study hard now, if you have nothing to do, read more books over there, and go to the doctoral exam if you have the chance." If you say that you can fall in love if you have a suitable partner, you are twenty-five years old, but tell you well, don't look for gringos, I can't understand foreign language with your father. Huang Yue is very proud of her son, although basically every family in the village has built a house, although their family is one of the few bungalows, but the most face-saving in the village is Wei Da's family, because Wei Da is an international student, a master's student!
"The gringos are not bad, they all say that the half-breeds are beautiful and smart. You can rest assured, I'm not in a hurry to fall in love, a man is not too old to be thirty years old. Wei Da smiled, he is basically poor and white now, and it takes money and time to fall in love, Wei Da really can't afford to talk about it now. What about my dad, he went to the field again? ”
"Well, I'm going to the field to get pesticides. Tell me what you want to eat, you will leave in two days, and it is estimated that it will be at least half a year if you go, pick up your luggage, and say if you want to bring anything with you. Huang Yue kept talking about some small things, Wei Da didn't feel verbose at all, he still liked this kind of environment very much, there was no such warm feeling abroad, "By the way, don't run around these days, go to your aunt's house and uncle's house, it's not convenient for you to go back and forth abroad, go to them to play." ”
"Yes, I know that. Mom, don't help me pack up and prepare anything, there are some things that you can't bring, like chicken and chicken feet. "First, I am afraid that my mother will be troublesome, and secondly, the immunization test in the United States is really annoying, and Wei Da also reminded again.
"I know, this American devil is really, it's really annoying that they don't bring it and that they don't want to bring it." Huang Yue was indeed a little unhappy, very dissatisfied with the quarantine policy of the United States; There are too many restrictions, which also makes it impossible for his son to eat some hometown dishes.
Wei Da smiled, the quarantine policy in the United States is indeed a bit troublesome, but this is also Wei Da's vague explanation, because he knows that once he wants to eat something, then his mother must be busy with preparations; Wei Da has put a lot of pressure on his family in the past few years, and now he has no ability to make his parents more comfortable and comfortable, but he definitely doesn't want to trouble his parents in these little things.
"Xiaoda, if you have development in the United States, it's better to stay there, I heard that the treatment in the United States is better." During dinner, Wei Da's father, Wei Hui, suddenly mentioned that although he also hoped that his son could be by his side, he hoped that his son would have a greater future.
"There's no urgency, I haven't graduated yet. I'm now going to school and watching at the same time, and staying on whichever side is well treated. This is also Wei Da's truth, not that the country is bad, but now Wei Da really needs to find a better job that can make himself and his family live a better life.
"You bought a car over there, right? Last time I saw you wearing some photos, it was Daben, right? Wei Hui suddenly said with great interest, naturally there is no computer at home, but some people in the village do; Although Wei Da usually calls home, the transatlantic phone is really expensive, so sometimes it is also through computer video communication, and Wei Da will also send some photos of himself abroad back for his parents to see.
"It's a bargain, it seems to be a third-hand car, and it's an old model. Don't look at Daben, but the car in foreign countries is not so tax-intensive, I did some part-time work there, and the car was almost a little more than 3,000 dollars. Wei Da smiled, his car is indeed very cheap, after all, it is not a new car.
"That's great, my son is running!" Huang Yue is very proud, many people in the village know about this photo, because Huang Yue and Wei Hui can't use the Internet, and this is also the neighbor next door who helped them open Wei Da's photo album.
"That's good, I can't take a fancy to Daben, and when I make money, I'll buy a new car, and this car will be eliminated sooner or later." Wei Da didn't explain much, after all, Mercedes-Benz is a top luxury car in China, and being able to drive such a car can at least be regarded as a successful person.
"Study hard, get a good job, buy a better car!" Wei Hui is very proud, although some people in the village often say that reading is useless, and Wei Da has read a lot of books to make the burden on the family too heavy, but Wei Hui knows that it is also because his son has read a lot of books, so the future will be more promising.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, you get your passport right, I'm probably about half a year of course over there. Anyway, I've been there for two years, and you'll go over to play when the time comes, and if we have money, we'll have money, and if we don't have money, we'll be poor, and I can't have my son stay there for two years, and my parents haven't even gone to the United States! Wei Da also brought up the old thing, such a thing as traveling abroad is attractive to many Chinese people, and Wei Da also didn't want his parents to have any regrets, so he encouraged again.
"Say more, say more." Wei Hui is really a little reluctant, a round-trip ticket to the United States is more than 10,000, he is really reluctant to spend this money; The moon in the United States is not necessarily rounder than in the country, and there is no need to spend that unjust money.
Wei Da didn't insist much anymore, after all, he still didn't have much money at home, and even owed a lot of money because he studied abroad; So Wei Da now wants to make more money, he doesn't want his parents to live a hard life, he wants his parents to stop being careful because of these things.
Wei Da, who was lying on the bed, looked at the jade plaque he picked up, he always felt that this jade plaque was a little strange that could not be explained, but he couldn't tell where it was strange. As for this jade plaque, he is not ostentatious to show it everywhere now, so he will keep it in his hand first.
Wei Da, who turned off the light, was lying on the bed, his life had to go on, and he would go out in a few days; Although he enjoyed his life at home, his vacation was over, and he still had to leave home to go to the country on the other side of the ocean in order to live.
But when Weida turned off the light, he seemed to notice that something was wrong; The jade plate placed at the head of his bed seemed to reveal something different at this time, although it was basically invisible in front of him, but Wei Da seemed to see an illusory little old man with a faint luster appear at the head of the bed at this time.
Wei Da's eyes widened, and he stared carefully at the little old man who shone faintly; Quickly turned on the light again, and the little old man disappeared. But when Wei Da turned off the light again with some excitement, the little old man appeared again; If Wei Da hadn't accidentally discovered it, this little old man who exuded a faint light might not have been able to see it!
Weida was a little excited, he seemed to have discovered a great secret; Touching his chin, Wei Da, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, put the piece of jade on his lap. Wei Da, who gritted his teeth, also made up his mind, try it!
In TV, there has always been something like pouring water or roasting on fire to discover the secrets hidden in the book, and such jade should have some blood to recognize the owner; Take out the scissors and gently poke them at the tip of your thumb. Wei Da felt a little crazy, but he still smiled and turned off the light; Wei Da, who raised his hand, was very proud, he was waiting for the little old man to appear.
Sure enough, the little old man appeared, and Wei Da was excited at this time; His blood will not flow in vain, and Wei Da, who knew that there must still be some blood beads on the tips of his fingers, looked at the little old man, and he was very excited to drop the blood beads on the little old man's head.
"Confess the Lord with blood! I'm so smart! Wei Da just rose a wave of pride, but his pride did not continue, when the blood beads touched the little old man, Wei Da's eyes were black and he immediately fainted completely.
Weida had a dream in which he was dizzy because there were many strange things that were constantly burrowing into his head; Wei Da really has a headache, but now he is just struggling in vain, and such a forcible indoctrination of memories still makes people feel that their brains are about to explode.
Legend has it that Emperor Yan invented the plow, tasted all the herbs, and invented medicine, so he was called Shennong. Emperor Yan made plows, planted grains, and laid the foundation of agriculture and industry; As the first clan tribe in the Chinese nation to switch from fishing and hunting to farming, the Yandi Shennong clan created China's agricultural culture. To grow crops in large quantities, it is first necessary to select the right plant species and domesticate them into crop varieties, such as rice, millet, millet, wheat, and grains.
And eating grass to cure diseases is not unique to humans. Many animals have the phenomenon of taking medicine to cure diseases, indicating that the ancestors of human beings have instinctively accumulated a lot of knowledge of herbal medicine long ago.
So now Wei Da got that piece of jade in Shennongjia, and there are also many great inheritances recorded in the jade, known as "Shennong Sutra"!
