readx;
Peng Bing thought she was a slave, and she was about to go inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zuo Shaoyang introduced Miao Peilan to Peng Bing and said: "Big brother, this is, my godsister, named Miao Peilan." - Lan'er, this is my new eldest brother, the eldest brother Peng Bingpeng, the servant of the ministry. You just call Big Brother. ”
Peng Bing hurriedly arched his hand: "It turned out to be a righteous sister!" Offended! cough cough cough ......"
Miao Peilan blushed and bowed. He whispered, "Big brother." ”
"Well, good!" Peng Bing pulled the bellows and wheezed like a wheezing and stepped into the courtyard.
Qiao Qiaoer and Bai Zhihan both came out, Zuo Shaoyang introduced them one by one, and after greeting each other, the three girls were very surprised to see that Zuo Shaoyang actually called a high-ranking old man a brother.
After a brief look at the situation at home, Peng Bing just wanted to finish his work as soon as possible, so that Zuo Shaoyang could set off to Huashan to dig medicine to treat himself, so he couldn't drink tea, and went to the back with Zuo Shaoyang to see the terrain.
The house was being demolished in the back, Peng Bing looked around, shook his head and said, "The place where my brother bought is indeed too small, cough cough...... How many medicinal herbs can be grown in such a small piece of land? You don't care about it, huh, huh...... Brother, I'll do it, and I'll discipline you to your satisfaction. cough cough cough ......"
At this time, the craftsman in charge of the design of the Ministry of Industry had arrived, and after Peng Bing's introduction, Zuo Shaoyang said his requirements for the pharmacy, and the craftsman was an expert, so he quickly drew a sketch and made some modifications according to Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion.
After the design was completed, Peng Bing told the craftsman to build according to the best standards, and the land acquisition and demolition should be fast, and there was no need to worry too much about the price, and all the costs were paid by Peng Bing. The craftsman agreed.
After finishing this matter, Zuo Shaoyang said to Peng Bing: "Then I will set off for Huashan, if it is fast, I will be back tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Okay, ...... huh, it's hard work! cough cough cough ......"
Peng Bing had already instructed a few cronies and entourage to prepare horses and accompany Zuo Shaoyang to dig up the mountain to dig medicine. Zuo Shaoyang went home and changed into light clothes, told Qiao Qiao'er and them, brought a medicine hoe and basket for digging medicine, and also took this opportunity to dig some local medicinal materials and come back, so that they could be transplanted into the medicine garden.
Zuo Shaoyang went to Huashan to dig medicinal herbs this time, and brought a squirrel yellow ball, this little guy is already one year old, although his body is not much bigger than before, but he moves more quickly, and there is no problem in dealing with the little thief.
Zuo Shaoyang put the little squirrel in the cloth belt around his waist, followed a few of Peng Bing's entourage, and galloped out of the city.
It was already noon when I set off, and I came to the foot of Mount Hua in the evening and found an inn to stay.
The next day, Zuo Shaoyang asked his entourage to wait at the inn, and he carried the medicine basket and took the little squirrel up the mountain.
Coincidentally, it is now the spring of March, which is the best time to harvest Huashan ginseng, but the terrain of Huashan is steep, and there is still a certain danger in mining. Zuo Shaoyang really didn't want others to know about his medication, so he didn't ask these entourages to help dig it.
He climbed up the hill for an hour, and began to look around in the quiet mountains. Although no one knew the medicinal value of Huashan ginseng in this era, so no one dug it, but it was not as ubiquitous as wild grasses, and after looking for a long time, I finally found one at a cliff, and the appearance of the plant on the ground was correct. However, to climb to that cliff, you have to climb a cliff several feet high.
Zuo Shaoyang is not a professional medicine picker, and the Zuo Zhong he crossed over to possess himself climbed the cliff to collect medicine and fell to his death. I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past and become a stand-in for other people.
Since hitting the mountain, Zuo Shaoyang has released the little squirrel to wander around, this little squirrel is quite psychic, why not let it bite the rope to climb the cliff, bolt it to the tree, and then pull the rope up by itself?
Zuo Shaoyang tried to let the little squirrel act as a pioneer with great interest, but the little squirrel was not a human being, he couldn't understand human words, he didn't know what Zuo Shaoyang wanted him to do, he bit the rope and ran around on the ground, and finally knew that it was to let it climb the stone wall, but he didn't know how to tie the rope to the tree.
Zuo Shaoyang tossed for a long time, but it was still useless, so he had to give up this ridiculous idea. But this Huashan ginseng can't be given up, but I finally found this strain, how can I give up easily, I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to try it myself.
He carried the medicine basket on his back, and in the basket were placed ropes and medicine hoes, which were used when he was prepared to come down, and the ropes were tied to the branches or stones on them, and the ropes could be followed.
He moved his hands and feet and began to grasp the gap in the cliff and climb up.
As soon as he climbed two steps, he heard a chuckle behind him, which frightened him into a clever way, and hurriedly jumped back to the ground, turned his head to look, and saw a woman, wearing a willow yellow dress, standing under a pine tree. It's Xiao Yunfei!
Zuo Shaoyang was pleasantly surprised: "Sister Xiao! Why are you here? ”
"I'm afraid you'll be eaten by the tigers of Huashan, so follow it."
Zuo Shaoyang took off the basket and took two steps forward and said, "It turns out that you have been following me, I don't even know." ”
"There are many things you don't know, did you come to Huashan to dig medicine to treat Peng Bing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, people deliberately slap you, what else can there be?"
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned when he heard what she said, and said, "You came with me, didn't you come with me to tell me what I did wrong?" ”
Xiao Yunfei walked to the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, looked up at the Chinese ginseng on the cliff, and said, "You want to pick it, do you?" ”
"Yes, I was about to climb up when you came."
"Let's dig up the medicinal herbs first, and then let's talk while looking for the medicinal herbs."
"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang said, "You have high martial arts, can you help me climb up and dig it down?" ”
Xiao Yunfei glanced at him and said with a smile: "What you want, you naturally go and get it yourself." Don't worry, with me, I can't kill you. ”
Zuo Shaoyang smiled, this is also true, he is a big man, and he actually asked a girl to climb the cliff to dig medicinal herbs for him, it is too unreasonable, since she is sweeping the formation on the side, it is okay, thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang put the back basket on his back again, smiled at Xiao Yunfei, grabbed the stone crack wall, and climbed up step by step.
This cliff is very steep, almost vertical, fortunately, there are many gaps, and there are branches and weeds growing in the stone crevices to start with, plus there is Xiao Yunfei, who is as light as a swallow below, and he has a bottom in his heart.
Slowly climbed up about a foot high, stopped to take a breath, looked up, the protruding cliff with Huashan ginseng was about to arrive, I was secretly happy in my heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not difficult, Sister Xiao ......!" He turned his head to look down, not only was he stunned, but there was no shadow of Xiao Yunfei under the mountain rock.
Zuo Shaoyang suddenly felt that his feet were weak, his palms were sweaty, his back was cold, and his voice trembled a little: "Sister Xiao!" Where are you? ”
"I'm on it!" Xiao Yunfei's soft laughter came from overhead.
Zuo Shaoyang was pleasantly surprised, and when he looked up, a pretty face popped out of the cliff, it was Xiao Yunfei: "Come on!" It's coming soon! ”
"Gee, when did you get up there? Why didn't I see it? ”
Xiao Yunfei laughed softly: "If you can see it, I can still be a snitch!" ”
"That's just as well." As he spoke, Zuo Shaoyang cautiously climbed up again, and finally, climbed the protruding cliff.
This protruding rock is not big, and the two of them are still a little crowded on it, Zuo Shaoyang put down the back basket, took out the medicine hoe from it, carefully dug out the Huashan ginseng, and put it into the back basket. said, "Let's go down!" ”
"Good!"
Zuo Shaoyang saw Xiao Yunfei standing there with his hands behind his back and looking at him with a smile, and he didn't mean to take him down, so he took out the rope from the back basket and looked for a place to tie the rope on the cliff. I watched a branch pop up from the cliff below, and thought that I could tie a rope to it, but now I came up and found that there was no way to tie it, because the branch was too thin to bear it, and there was no place for the stone to tie the rope. Holding the rope and laughing: "Sister Xiao, you help me hold the rope and let me down." All right? ”
"Then how do I go down?" Xiao Yunfei smiled.
"You, aren't you a snitch who comes and goes, can you come up or not go down?"
"You came up by yourself just now, why can't you go down by yourself?"
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and carried the roll of rope and said, "There is no place for the rope on it, it is too dangerous to go down like this." ”
"Yes, sometimes for a certain purpose, I climb to a high place, thinking that I can climb up and come down, but after I go up, I find that it is not like that at all."
Zuo Shaoyang heard what she said, and after a little hesitation, he understood, and said, "Sister Xiao is using this matter to tell me, did I do something wrong in the matter of the servant of the ministry?" ”
Xiao Yunfei put his hands behind his back and looked at the misty cliff in the distance: "I don't dare to point you to anything, I'm not a person in the officialdom, I don't know how the officialdom is, I just think that many things come to a certain point, and often I can't help myself, just like climbing the cliff, I will give you encouragement and support below, so you come up safely, if you don't help you after coming up, you will be in a dilemma." ”
"I still don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain a little bit more."
Xiao Yunfei turned his head and glanced at him: "You really don't understand?" Still don't want to understand. ”
"I find myself feeling a little bit overwhelmed."
"Yes, the more this is the case, the less you can go with the flow."
"I understand this, and I also know that the servants of the ministry helped me build a medicine garden and called me a brother and sister, in order to win me over, but I really need a medicine garden to grow a lot of medicinal herbs that are not available now. And this is what I got in exchange for treating him, helping him heal his illness, keeping his black yarn hat, and the medicine he gave me, so I don't feel like I owe him anything. ”
Xiao Yunfei smiled: "I just remind you to be more careful when dealing with them in the future." So as not to get into a dilemma. ”
