Time is like a naughty child, always likes to play hide and seek with people, and when people are counting down with their faces covered, it passes by and hides far away.

A week flew by.

During this time, everything in the town was the same, the Su family was still so domineering, and Li Changjing was still a joke in the town, no matter where he went, there would always be strange eyes and some slightly ugly gossip.

The injuries on Li Changjing's body have finally healed for the most part, at least the ribs have healed, although the chest will still hurt when doing heavy work, but it can still be done by pushing some dirt and repairing damaged furniture.

But those who came from other places seemed to have encountered some trouble these days, and ran to the west mountain before dawn every day, but in the evening, they came back with a depressed face.

The woman who likes to wear black professional clothes, according to the townspeople, is surnamed Liu, and everyone she knows calls her Secretary Liu. This Secretary Liu still had a little smile in the first few days, but when he got to the back, he became very anxious, Li Changjing had seen her a few times from afar, she was a very beautiful woman, her skin was particularly white, as if she could pinch out the water, she was holding her black hair, and she came and went in a hurry every day, as if there were always busy things and endless phone calls.

On the morning of the eighth day, a car with a foreign license plate came into the town, and when Li Changjing went to fetch water, he happened to meet an old man who was nearly seventy years old, short and thin, very capable, with a faint smile on his face full of age spots, and he looked extremely confident. Secretary Liu came to receive him, and after eating at the restaurant in the town, they went to Xishan together. According to the townspeople, the old man seemed to be an authoritative expert in botany, surnamed Zhou, and was very famous in the local area.

Li Changjing didn't care either, and he didn't bother to pay attention.

And just like that, another three days passed.

That Secretary Liu seemed to have encountered a lot of trouble, every evening when he came back from Xishan, he had a straight face, and quarreled with Su Bowen who was her dogleg a few times, and even the botanical expert who came over the day before became silent, frowning all day long, as if there was some huge doubt bothering him.

In the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was bright, Li Changjing was awakened by a rush of footsteps, he came out of the grass hut, and just saw Su Bowen with a few big men into the courtyard, and shouted at him as soon as they met: "The surname is Li, I have something to do with you, give me death." ”

Li Changjing was not afraid of him, so he walked out generously and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter?" ”

Su Bowen's face was pale, and he stood there and twisted for a long time, his face turned red, and then he held back a sentence: "The medicine field at the foot of the West Mountain, is it really only you who can feed it?" ”

Li Changjing looked suddenly enlightened, "For this?" That's right, that medicine field can only be taken care of by me, none of you can go, didn't I tell you earlier, you don't believe it yourself. ”

Su Bowen resisted the urge to get angry, lowered his voice and said, "Li Changjing, how about I make a deal with you?" As long as you help me take care of that medicine field, I can give you an agency, and the profit dividends from the sale of medicinal materials every year will be counted as your share. ”

Li Changjing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Didn't you sell that piece of medicine field to those outsiders, since the medicine fields have been sold, if you want to give me dividends, it is also those outsiders who have the final say, right?" ”

Su Bowen didn't expect Li Changjing to sort out the relationship so clearly, and knew that he couldn't fool him, so he made a look of being open-minded, "What you said is indeed right, but although the medicine field was sold, those outsiders have already given me the agency, as long as you are willing to help me take care of it, I can transfer the agency to you, and the dividend that belongs to me will also give you a little bit." ”

Li Changjing thought for a while, nodded and said, "I can help you take care of the medicine field, but the matter of dividends, you don't have to let those outsiders come and talk to me in person." ”

"Of course it's okay to let you talk." Su Bowen narrowed his triangular eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, "But when you talk to them, you have to admit that I am your boss, that piece of medicine field was authorized by me at the beginning, and you can only take care of it, and all the credit must be credited to me, understand?" ”

Li Changjing smiled and promised: "No problem, the credit is not credit, I don't care, dividends are real benefits, don't you see that I don't even have a home, and I need money to build a house." ”

"You're sensible." Su Bowen smiled, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and asked Li Changjing to wait here, and he immediately went to invite those outsiders over.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Su Bowen picked up Secretary Liu and the botanist who was nearly seventy years old in a car.

"You are Li Changjing?"

After getting out of the car, Secretary Liu hurriedly entered the courtyard, came to Li Changjing, and said straight to the point: "That piece of medicine field, you really managed it single-handedly?" ”

Li Changjing glanced at her and found that this woman was really beautiful, so close to her, you could clearly see her shallow eyebrows, faint lips, and urgent light in her eyes. Maybe it was because he came out in a hurry, without makeup, the face as transparent and delicate as an albumen, like a porcelain doll, exuded a faint white in the rising sun in the early morning, like a dream.

Li Changjing nodded, "The medicine field is indeed taking care of me." ”

Su Bowen next to him immediately gave him a look, meaning to let him emphasize that the boss of the medicine field was him, and he, Li Changjing, was just a part-time worker.

Unexpectedly, Li Changjing didn't look at him, and continued to add: "I won't tell you anything, that piece of medicine field was cultivated by me alone, planted by myself, and taken care of by myself, and I am the absolute owner of the medicine field." ”

Su Bowen was so angry that he almost broke out and beat Li Changjing to the ground.

Sure enough, Secretary Liu turned his head and said to Su Bowen in a questioning tone: "Didn't you tell me that you took care of the medicine field, and what is going on?" ”

Su Bowen's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "This, that...... I ......"

"Wait."

The botanist, who had not spoken, glanced at Li Changjing, snorted, and said: "Young man, it is understandable that you want to be in the limelight in front of beautiful girls, but you must also have a degree." I see that you are only twenty years old this year, and that medicine field, without more than ten years of careful care, will definitely not be able to reach the scale it is today. How old was you ten years ago? At most, it's the third grade of elementary school, right? Half-grown children in the third grade know how to open up wasteland and grow herbs? And are they all those rare and precious Chinese medicines? ”

Su Bowen's face was ecstatic, and he immediately agreed: "That's it!" This kid is obviously lying, the medicine field is obviously run by me, and the certificate of land contracting and management right that day I showed you is the best proof! ”

The words of the old man and Su Bowen couldn't find the slightest flaw, which also made Secretary Liu hesitate for a while, she frowned, looked at Li Changjing, although she didn't speak, but the doubt in her eyes was overflowing.

"If you don't believe it, I can't help it." Li Changjing stood up, glanced at the sky, and said softly: "But I know what trouble you are in now, it is the herbs in the medicine field that have begun to wither in a large area, right?" ”

Secretary Liu Huo Ran stood up, his face full of disbelief: "How do you know!?" ”

"How else can you know?" Su Bowen hurriedly interjected: "This kid must have secretly gone to the medicine field to see it." ”

Li Changjing didn't defend himself, and said straight to the point: "That piece of medicine field, only I can take care of it, and no one can support it!" That's all I have to say, believe it or not. ”

When the Zhou expert saw Li Changjing's cruel words, he sneered, "What an arrogant boy, even I, an authoritative botanical expert, can't explain why those herbs wither, how can you, a child who hasn't even grown hair, know?" ”

Li Changjing didn't have a good impression of this bitter old man who thought highly of himself, and said with a smile: "I don't deny your talent, but this world is so big, and unexplained things have gone many seas, do you believe it or not, as long as I am willing, I can feed a flower on your head?" ”

The old man was so angry that he was smoking, pointed at Li Changjing, and said angrily: "You! You...... I ......"

"Okay, one person takes a step back, everyone is discouraged, and we come here to solve the problem." Secretary Liu came out at the right time to play a round, and then said to Li Changjing: "You said that you can only take care of that medicine field, do you have any evidence?" ”

"I don't have a certificate, but I can show you the practice." Li Changjing smiled slightly, "Why don't we go to the medicine field now?" Don't worry, if it doesn't work at that time, I don't need you to rush, I will roll down the mountain by myself. ”

"Good! Then we'll go now. Secretary Liu acted very resolutely, said to go, let Su Bowen drive, and after the three of them sat down, they immediately drove towards the outside of the town.

The full name of the town is Dongxiang Town, it has been surrounded by mountains since ancient times, the mountains on the west side are not far from the town, and it is not close to the town, it usually takes an hour to walk, but it only takes ten minutes to drive.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Li Changjing smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, climbed a small hillside, and looked up, the familiar medicine field was located less than fifty meters above, lush and fragrant.

The group did not stay long, and boarded the medicine field in turn, Li Changjing looked around and found that many places had changed, such as his small thatched hut, which had been demolished and thrown into the corner. A large circle of open space has also been cleared around the medicine field, and signs are inserted in all four directions, which read: "Private land, no entry without permission." ”

Secretary Liu came to Li Changjing's side, pointed to the direction of the center of the medicine field, and said worriedly: "The herbs all start to wither in a large area from the center, and the ones planted in that location are all precious varieties, which makes people feel heartache to watch." ”

Of course, Li Changjing knew what the reason was, so he didn't answer, but picked up a hoe from the side, walked into the medicine field with a light car, and began to weed each herb carefully from the inside out.

Secretary Liu didn't follow up, just stood on the periphery and watched, and after a while, her face began to change drastically, and her heart was flooded.

Because she found that Li Changjing's weeding action was so skillful, every stroke of force was just right, which would not only turn up the grass roots of the weeds, but also not hurt the herbs themselves, and what was even more exaggerated was that he did not deliberately pay attention to the route he was moving on, but he would always carefully bypass those herbs and not step on them.

This carefulness, this sophistication, there is no three or five years...... No, without ten or eight years, long-term careful care of this medicine garden, it is impossible to do it!

It is said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and seeing this, Secretary Liu finally believed that Li Changjing was indeed the owner of the medicine field, seeing is believing, and he can't fake it.

Thinking of this, her face turned a little colder, and she glanced at Su Bowen, who was standing in the distance, looking around, and suddenly had a measure in her heart.
