The license plate number of this Toyota domineering car is eye-catching, and the driver is thin and tall, and his face is pale and pale, this is the third time Li Yuanlang has seen this man, but it is the first time he has seen his positive appearance.

The man stopped, holding the bag in one hand and shaking the car keys in the other, ignoring the existence of Li Yuanlong and Chang Ming, walked straight to Ma Zesheng, and said, "Village Chief Ma, get me four local chickens, slaughter and wash them cleanly, I'll come and pick them up in the afternoon." As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of banknotes from his bag, handed them to Ma Zesheng, "That's all, get some hazel mushrooms and wide vermicelli." ”

Ma Zesheng took it, nodded in agreement, and wanted to introduce Li Yuanlang to the young man, who knows, this person turned around and didn't look back, strode into the domineering car, and galloped away.

"Who is this man? How not to be a little polite. Chang Ming muttered dissatisfied.

"Who else." Ma Zesheng said: "Ma Tang, the eldest son of Secretary Ma's family. ”

Hearing the name Ma Tang, Li Yuanlang was shocked, not only did he hear of him from Xiao Zhan's mouth, but more importantly, Ma Tang looked like he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, several years younger than Gao Yue'e, to be her lover, would Ma Shengran agree?

Also, Ma Tang and Shang Xiaoyan have dealings, that is to say, their old Ma family has a relationship in the provincial capital, yes, it does exist, no wonder Ma Shengran is empty-eyed, the leaders of Ganping County don't pay attention to it, and the bigwigs of Guangnan City don't buy it either, it turns out that behind the people is Executive Vice Governor Lu Rongfu.

Li Yuanlang was very puzzled, it is said that Ma Shengran, the secretary of the township party committee, can have a relationship with the leaders of the provincial party committee, from the vice provincial and ministerial level to the main department level, there are several levels in the middle, and it seems that he can't get along.

"Let's sit in the room for a while." Ma Shengran humbly conceded, and Li Yuanlang said that he still didn't sit down, and it was important to do business.

So, Ma Shengran handed over the money to the old man who was guarding the village committee, and told him to hand over the money to the accountant, and kill six chickens, stew two, and prepare the other four to come out, as well as hazel mushrooms and wide vermicelli, just wait for Ma Tang to come and get it.

Because the road up the mountain was not easy to walk, the four of them did not drive, but walked.

Ma Zesheng said that to get to the place occupied by Liu's family, he needed to climb over two mountains. Needless to say, he doesn't look at his fifties, he walks like flying, and it is not difficult to go up the mountain at all. Han Wei also grew up on the side of the mountain since he was a child, and he was born a veteran, and his body is quite sturdy, almost to the point that he does not grow his face and does not change his color, and it is very easy to go up the mountain as if he was walking on the ground.

Li Yuanlang is not as good as the two of them, but he can go down and pant a little. On the contrary, Chang Ming was far behind, he was so tired that his legs were like lead when he just crossed a mountain, and he had to rest when he sat on a stone and said anything.

Ma Zesheng persuaded him, saying that the more he rested, the more he couldn't walk, he had to stiffen up the most difficult time period, grit his teeth and stick to the past, and it would be much easier to walk.

also broke a branch for Chang Ming as a crutch, and took care of him as he walked, so as not to let him fall behind.

After climbing over a big mountain, they walked into a larch forest, and while walking in it, Li Yuenlong's clothes were scraped by tree branches, and when he was making clothes, he accidentally found a peculiar-looking small flower under his feet, saying that it was peculiar because the color of the flower was very rare black.

Li Yuanlang was curious, and lowered his body to touch it, who knew that when this flower was touched by someone's hand, it turned white in a magical instant, and exuded a rather strong medicinal smell, just like the Laisu water sprayed by the hospital, which was too mysterious.

When Ma Zesheng saw that Li Yuenlong was fiddling with the little flower, he hurriedly came over and grabbed his wrist, and reminded nervously: "Don't mess with it, this thing is poisonous." ”

Li Yuanlang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "What poison?" ”

Ma Zesheng told him: "We call this thing hurting grass, it only blooms in this season all year round, most of them are hidden under the pine trees, they start with black petals, as long as the human hand touches it, it immediately turns white, and when it touches it again, it will turn red, so it will release venom, and once this liquid touches the human skin, it will ulcerate within an hour, and if you don't go to the hospital for tetanus injection within three hours, it will continue to fester, and the rotten flesh will flow pus until death." ”

"That's amazing!" Chang Ming on the side exclaimed.

Everything in the world, since existence must have its function, does the hurting grass have other uses besides hurting people?

"It's a lot of fun, too." Ma Zesheng said: "You see that it hurts people when it blooms, but after the flower withers, it becomes a hay, and it is very effective to grind and apply external wound pain relief, which is better than painkillers." Therefore, most of us go up the mountain to pick wounded grass after the first snow in winter, and once this thing is stained with snow, it will freeze to death immediately, and there will be no toxins at all, and it will be safe. ”

Hurtful grass? Li Yuanlang thought, took a picture with his mobile phone, and saved it in the album, the mobile phone has no signal here, and when the signal arrives, send it to Lang Yingxuan to take a look, this thing does not belong to Chinese medicinal materials.

On the way to the destination, Li Yuenlong asked Ma Zesheng again, is there a lot of grass that hurts people?

"How so?" Ma Zesheng put up the pergola and looked into the distance, pointed to the front and said: "There are not many here, there is a large area of the mountain we are going to, but Liu Wanquan has already been encircled and specially used to dig stones." ”

Li Yuanlang was angry and anxious when he heard this, in case the wounding grass has the value of traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Wanquan will be a sin. Patronizing and digging for rocks not only destroys the natural environment and causes soil erosion, but also irreparable damage if large areas of injurious grass are removed.

So, Li Yuanlang and the others quickened their pace, and before twelve o'clock they arrived at the edge of the occupied twenty acres of mountainous land.

The place has been surrounded by a high and rear wall, and a barbed wire fence has been pulled on it, and what is even more infuriating is that there is also a watchtower at the gate, on which there are people watching and patrolling, and if someone approaches, the alarm is immediately sounded, and then pickets wearing red arm bands appear, and all those who want to enter the mountain area are taken away for interrogation and illegal detention.

Of course, these are all what Ma Zesheng told everyone, whether it is as he said, can only be determined by trying.

Anyway, Li Yuenlong hid in the woods and saw that there was really someone on the watchtower, holding something similar to a pistol in his hand.

"It's a flare gun, and when someone gets close to the fence, it signals it." Ma Zesheng reminded on the side.

Li Yuanlang originally took a look, so naturally he wouldn't go to the wall to do experiments, he probably knew about it, he knew it in his heart, and the situation reflected by Ma Zesheng was very real.

So everyone returned the same way, during which Li Yuanlang encountered the hurting grass again, this time he didn't touch it directly with his hands, and it happened that there was a plastic bag in the pocket of Han's sweatshirt, so he uprooted the hurting grass and brought it back with the soil in the plastic bag.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the four of them walked back to the village committee of Xiayangma Village, and as soon as they entered the compound, they saw the old man who was the gatekeeper in a hurry and said: "Director, I stewed two chickens according to your instructions, but when Ma Tang came to get something, he smelled the fragrance and didn't listen to my advice, and he ate alone in the kitchen, which was too much." ”

"Why don't you just take a bite of chicken?" Ma Zesheng waved his hand, and Li Yuanlang immediately smiled, feeling that Ma Tang was really an alternative, and he was different from others.

As a result, several people walked into the small kitchen of the village committee hungry, and when they saw Ma Tang eating, they immediately understood that there was a reason for the old man to say "too much".

I saw Ma Tang holding a bowl in his hand, squatting on the stove, holding chopsticks in his hand and pulling in the cauldron for a good meal, specially picking out the chicken thighs, chicken wings and breast meat with a lot of meat in the chicken, and the chicken bones were spit everywhere on the ground.

Let's not talk about his ugly eating appearance, just say that after he does this, who can still eat it. If you like to eat, you can eat it yourself, don't stir it in the cauldron, don't say it's unhygienic, others will eat your saliva indirectly, what's the matter.

Originally, Chang Ming didn't like him when he looked at him, but now Ma Tang didn't treat himself as an outsider, which completely annoyed him, so he walked over, knocked on the stove with a stick made of tree branches, and said: "Ma Tang, if you want to eat, you can eat a bowl alone, stir it in the cauldron, it's too uneducated." ”

Ma Tang raised his eyelids and looked at Chang Ming, and said disdainfully: "Your name is Chang Ming, right, Village Chief Ma didn't say anything, you are the oldest, hurry up and roll the calf for me, this is not your right to speak." ”

"You ......" Chang Ming was not to be outdone, and wanted to go up and reason with Ma Tang, but was stopped by Li Yuanlang, and said to Ma Tang with a cold face: "Ma Tang is right, Secretary Ma should have educated you since you were a child, it is very rude to rob other people's food, and you will rob it, but it is your fault to rob it so justifiably, and you should apologize to Assistant Chang." ”

Li Yuenlong's original intention was to satirize Ma Tang's lack of education, how could Ma Tang not hear it? It just so happened that he had a chicken bone in his mouth, and he spit it out vigorously at Li Yuenlang's face.

Li Yuanlang stretched out his hand to block it, no matter how patient he was, he couldn't stand Ma Tang spitting at him, and immediately frowned, and his anger surged upward. didn't wait for him to teach Ma Tang a lesson, but he saw Han Wei behind Ma Tang suddenly fly up and kick Ma Tang's waist, this guy was defenseless, and his whole body fell forward and fell directly into the cauldron.

Although the pot of chicken was removed from the heat, there were still a few red-hot wooden halberds in the hearth, and the pot was steaming, and the chicken soup was boiling and bubbling.

Ma Tang's more than 100 catties were suddenly poured into the cauldron, and he was immediately hot, and Ma Zesheng saw that it was not good, so he quickly dragged him out.

"Ouch mom." Ma Tang grinned in pain, and the clothes on his body were soaked in oil stains and side dishes such as vermicelli and hazelnut mushrooms, fortunately, it didn't take long to soak, but the exposed skin was also red.

Ma Tang was suddenly so angry that he rushed up to settle accounts with Han Wei, but Han Wei grabbed his fist, and with a little force, Ma Tang cracked his mouth in pain.

"Okay, you guys wait for me one by one, and see if I don't clean up your death." When Ma Tang left in a hurry, he threw down this cruel sentence.
