Chapter II.4
Hu Tai was determined to conduct a field surgery in Shennongjia on the mainland, but after all, he was already over half a hundred years old, unusual in the field, and needed a reliable assistant, and Deng Chenfei's appearance can be described as the best candidate, considering that Deng Chenfei's income will definitely not be too much, and he just has a lot of savings, although it is not too prominent in the United States, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already worth a lot, so he decided to pay a reasonable remuneration to hire Deng Chenfei as an assistant to help him in the field surgery examination in Shennongjia.
Hu Tai approached Hu Tianjie to discuss and decided to pay Deng Chenfei a monthly salary of $1,000 to hire Deng Chenfei.
Hu Tianjie said: "Uncle, the price you gave is too high, right?" Equivalent to 8,000 yuan per month, I will accompany you to the field surgery, you are too lost. ”
Hu Tai said: "The so-called 'a thousand troops are easy to get and a general is hard to find', we have also seen the skills of Xiao Deng, the child is more than enough to protect me in the field surgery, and what is even more commendable is that this child was able to pull out a knife to help him yesterday, which is even more scarce in this society." Moreover, he is also a child I sponsored in Shaanxi before, and we can meet in Wuhan, which can be regarded as the fate of the previous life. So don't persuade Tianjie, I will make up my mind for this child, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will bring him to the United States to be my student. ”
Deng Chenfei has always been grateful to Hu Tai who had funded him, but he hated not to see each other, this time not only met, but also happened to save Hu Tai, which was a wish, and received a call from Hu Tai early this morning, and immediately asked for a day off, ready to chat with Hu Tai for another day.
When Deng Chenfei came to Hu Tianjie's address, he found that Hu Tai's uncle and nephew were there.
Hu Tai expressed his willingness to pay $1,000 a month to hire Deng Chenfei to assist in field surgery.
After Deng Chenfei heard this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Hu Tianjie.
Hu Tai said, "Xiao Deng, what's wrong with you? Do you think I'm paying you too little? ”
Deng Chenfei said: "Professor Hu, you have sponsored me to go to school before, and I haven't repaid your kindness, why do you still give me money?" ”
Hu Tai said: "One yard is one yard, this time I hired you to help me do things, how can I not give money?" ”
Hu Tianjie said: "Moreover, you saved us yesterday, which can be regarded as repaying my uncle's kindness in sponsoring you to go to school before." ”
Hu Tai said: "Even if Xiao Deng is unwilling to help me, I have to find someone else, and our uncle and nephew alone will not be able to complete the scientific examination." The so-called 'fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders', I think Xiao Deng is the most suitable person. ”
Deng Chenfei's work of delivering water was tiring and there was no oil and water, in all fairness, he was also very tempted by Hu Tai's monthly remuneration of 8,000, but he felt that he owed Hu Tai something and hoped to help Hu Tai complete the scientific expedition free of charge, but under the persuasion of his uncle and nephew in turn, he also felt that it was reasonable, so he agreed.
Hu Tianjie originally felt a little bored about the busy and monotonous fire, and just took this opportunity to quit his job, and Hu Tai had not seen him for many years, and he just took advantage of this trip to Shennongjia to accompany Hu Tai, but he didn't think that this scientific expedition in Shennongjia was just the beginning, and many things he experienced after that completely subverted his perception of the world.
Hu Tianjie prepared the tools needed for the field surgical examination, including some telescopes, tents, compressed biscuits and the like, and also prepared a few baseball bats and folding shovels as tools for self-defense.
So the three of them drove to that mysterious place full of legends - Shennongjia Forest Area.
The three of them first drove the car to the urban area of Fangxian County, which is not far from Shennongjia, considering that there are not many roads to drive next, and they also want to enjoy the pleasant scenery along the way, so they simply parked the car in Fangxian County, and rushed to the Shennongjia forest area on foot.
The three of them chose a morning with excellent weather, got up early, and at six o'clock in the morning, they were fully armed and ready, left Fang County, and marched along the road to the Shennongjia forest area.
At this time, it was March weather, the flowers were blooming in spring, and the climate was pleasant, but the three of them did not dare to speak more, and walked forward quickly.
In the afternoon, when everyone was hungry and the road ahead was becoming more and more dilapidated and difficult to navigate, they stopped in a wood, took out food and water, and began to replenish their strength.
Hu Tai took out three roast chickens, one for each of the three, and chatted while eating.
Hu Tianjie carried a camera with him, in order to take images of the wild man as soon as he found it.
Hu Tai said while eating: "Our scientific expedition is not actually to catch the living bodies of wild people, or to kill wild people and obtain corpses, this is not our original intention, if this is the case, it is better not to come."
"Regardless of whether wild humans should be classified as humans or animals, if they exist, since they have not yet been discovered by humans on a large scale, at least the population must be small.
"So now we have a camera for each of us, so that we can shoot wild people as soon as they are found. If you can take pictures of the wild people on this trip to Shennongjia, it will be considered a success. ”
