Chapter 6: A Little Try

I turned my head and saw that my cow was walking against me!

I hurriedly shouted again, and at the same time wondered in my heart the abnormality of the cow - why was it disobedient today?

Then the cow listened to my cry, and instead of turning around, she turned her head and 'mooed' at me, as if beckoning me over!

When she had finished barking, my cow raised her head and pricked up her ears, and trotted up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at its appearance, my heart suddenly moved, and two sentences in the tailor-made chapter of the "Ox Master Sutra" suddenly appeared in my mind - the head is flat, the ears are upright, and the hooves are urgent, there must be wonders ahead!

"Is it really wonderful?"

To be honest, I used to be skeptical of some of the strange words in the "Ox Master Sutra", but at that time, my heart was suddenly moved-what would be wonderful?

I thought to myself, so I chased after him, and when I reached a pine forest at the bottom of the hillside, my cow suddenly lowered her head and gnawed.

I hurried to the head of the ox, stopped it, and looked at the place where the cow was gnawing, and there was already a little yellow stem in the reddish-brown soil.

"What's that? ......, is it ginseng? ”

Thinking of this, my heart surging uncontrollably, we have a lot of mountains, but there are also some medicinal herbs, such as purple flowers, yellow artemisia heads, living tendons and the like. In Yulin Town, there are also shops that specialize in collecting these traditional Chinese medicine villages, and every spring and autumn, my father and some older people also go up the mountain to plan, dry them, and sell them in the town; There are also those who think that the price given by the town is low, and they take the county to sell it, but the overall price is not high.

However, two years ago, someone dug up a wild ginseng and bought a thousand yuan, which caused a gust of wind in our area to dig ginseng. But then no one dug up, and the gust of wind quickly blew over.

"If it's really ginseng, this is really a relief!"

Thinking of this, my heart was beating wildly again, and I hurriedly dug it up with my hands.

At that time, when it was popular to dig ginseng in the mountains, I also heard people say that ginseng roots are valuable, so to dig ginseng from the periphery of ginseng.

I dug so carefully, and after a while, a half-foot-long ginseng appeared in front of me, with golden stems.

Looking at this appearance, my heart was beating wildly again - this is clearly the appearance of an old ginseng!

At that moment, I didn't care about getting dirty, so I took off my vest and wrapped it up with the soil and ginseng.

When I was wrapped, I turned my head, and my heart beat wildly again—not far away, my cow was bowing its head, and I hurried over.

When I dug up the ginseng again, I turned my head again, and I felt that my heart couldn't stand it - the cow had moved somewhere else!

Later, I learned that the reason why ginseng grows in a community is because ginseng is harsh on the soil and environment.

In this way, in the end, I dug up three ginseng, two large and one small, and I was so excited that I walked with flutter!

At the same time, at that time, after all, I was a child, leading the cow, holding the ginseng, and before I got home, I was anxious to show my parents, and shouted loudly: "Dad, mother, come out, I dug up ginseng, now you don't have to worry!"

It doesn't matter what I'm calling, not only my father came out, but even Sister-in-law Quanzhen, Sister-in-law Chunzhi, Brother Mingde, Zhuzi, and my family's three sisters-in-law all surrounded me.

"Calves, where is the ginseng? Did you really dig up ginseng? ”

Seeing that my father didn't seem to believe me, I put the vest on the ground and dried the ginseng in the vest.

"Yikes! It's really ginseng! ”

"It's quite big, and the color is so yellow, it should be worth a lot of money!"

"It should be possible, it should be some years so old, and the older you are, the more valuable it is!"

......, amid the chirping exclamations of everyone, my father had already wrapped up the ginseng with trembling hands.

"How blessed are the calves! You can find ginseng by herding a cow, or I'll herd the cow with you tomorrow! ”

In all kinds of envy and jealousy of everyone, I was holding my stomach proud, listening to the obvious envy of Sister-in-law Chunzhi, I felt that I should be humble.

Who knew that I was just about to say that it was just a coincidence, but the pillar here pouted and said: "How can there be so many ginseng, this time the little old man is a blind cat touching a dead mouse, it's a coincidence!" I've been herding cattle with him for so many years, and I've never seen him dig up any ginseng! ”

After all, I was a child, and this situation made me feel like I was surrounded by glory, and I was very comfortable! And the pillar's words are like a basin of cold water!

I was angry at the time, scolding my mother and forcing me in my heart, and retorted: "What a coincidence, the "Niu Shi Sutra" says that the head is flat and the ears are ......."

As soon as I said this, my father suddenly coughed heavily and looked at me fiercely, and I realized that I hurriedly stopped my mouth!

And Brother Mingde's heart, when he heard me say this, looked at me for a while, as if he didn't know me, and then squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Yo, look at the little calf who has learned the old man Liu's set, our family also has a cow master, and it will be easy to sell cattle in the future!"

"Yo! Really! In the future, if you want to sell cattle, you will find a little calf, don't ask me for a commission (bargaining on behalf of others, we call it a commission)! ”

Chunzhi's sister-in-law left jokingly, and Quan Zhen's sister-in-law muttered in a low voice: "Dead old man, let me say it!" After saying that, he left with a huff.

When he returned home, his father soaked the ginseng in a basin after drinking the cow, and then he used a pressurized well to fetch water and wash it several times! I wanted to help wash it, probably because I was afraid that the roots of the ginseng would be damaged, and my father wouldn't let me interfere.

After washing and drying, my father pulled some rotten cotton covers, wrapped the washed ginseng with it, and put it on the closet at the end of their bed.

My father had a smile in his eyes throughout the whole process, and he even asked my mother to fry a plate of eggs for me before dinner!

At night, sleeping on my hard board, I couldn't sleep at the sound of the 'huhula' fan, looking at the dark beams, and I couldn't sleep.

Recently, through my brother's building a house and getting married, I found that my biggest enemy is no money!

For my little brother to build a house and get married, my father has done everything he can, crying sadly, and paying off his debts! If it's my turn again, I'm afraid there won't be anything to do—they're getting old!

But I didn't worry, today's events made me feel like I saw a treasure, and this treasure is still hidden in my mind!

Thinking about it, I was a little excited, but I didn't understand why Old Man Liu didn't teach me the rest of the story!

I thought about it, but I didn't understand, but I felt that I could also buy this Cihai and I Ching to study it myself.

Then I thought that if I grew up and became rich, who should I find to be a matchmaker and go to Han Chunque to say goodbye (Han Chunque is Han Chunzhi's sister, and Han Chunzhi's maiden home is in this village).

Then I thought about whether Han Shishui would agree, at that time, the marriage of men and women in a village was very ugly, and Han Shishui was the village secretary. Last time Han Chunzhi and Brother Ming Xian got married, Han Shishui didn't agree, and our two surnames almost fought, but in the end, they ran outside and cooked raw rice to make mature rice.

At the same time, I am worried that when I grow up and become rich, will Han Chunque get married, after all, she is older than me and has good grades.

Thinking about it, I was a little worried, but for some reason, I came back to think about it-where I went! Then I fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, I was sleeping in a daze, I felt someone push me, and at the same time I heard my mother's voice: "Calf wake up, calf ......"

Hearing that it was my mother calling me, I rolled over, rubbed my eyes, and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?" It's not dawn yet! ”

"Calf, your father will go to the county to sell ginseng in a while, what do you want to eat, your father will buy it for you."

"So this is to treat me!"

I reflected, sat up from the bed at once, rubbed my eyes and said, "Mother, I don't want to eat, I want to buy I Ching and Cihai."

"I Ching and Cihai? What is it for, and where is it sold? Father asked in the next room.

My parents are illiterate, that's why they ask! At that time, I hurriedly replied that Xinhua Bookstore sells it, and it is used to learn from Xiangniu!

In fact, I bought the I Ching for the last two articles, because once my godfather said that the latter things are related to the I Ching and the Five Elements.

Hearing me say this, my father sighed and went out.

When I came back from the county at noon, my father was full of joy and couldn't hide his joy, not only bought me Cihai and I Ching, but also bought me small soup dumplings!

My mother asked him how much he had sold, and my father said three thousand two beautifully. He also said that the quality of the ginseng here is not good, and if the ginseng in the Northeast can be worth 6,000.

Although I sold ginseng, it was not enough, and finally my father gritted his teeth, led the cow, and with me, found my godfather, and sold the cow.

The price was exactly the same as I had estimated, and it sold for 2,000 yuan!

In this way, at the end of August of the solar calendar, my little brother married Bai Tingting home with gongs and drums, and officially became my sister-in-law. Her dowry was quite large, and I later learned that her father was a well-known man in the neighboring town.

After my brother got married, it was time to start school, but I didn't want to go to school, my home was empty, there were only three thatched huts, an empty cattle trough, and the tuition fees were not settled, what else did I go to!

That day, my father was squatting on an empty trough, with a cigarette pouch in his eyes! I went to him and told him what I meant.

My father listened and was silent for a while, and finally knocked the cigarette pouch and pot on the sole of his shoe, saying that you have a craft, you can eat, and you can not go up!

My father, like the people of his time, did not demand much from his children, and could eat together, not like they starved.

But my mother was still a little expectant of me, and ran to ask my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law said that he was stupid, and his grades were counted down, so it didn't matter if he didn't get in!

My sister-in-law's words played a decisive role, and since then I have started my career!

Since there were no cattle, and I should not have harvested corn, I was completely idle, and when I had nothing to do, I turned down the I Ching, and checked the words that I didn't know; At the fair, I go to the bull market to find my godfather.

Sometimes I also go to the used book stall on the collection to Taotao, read some gossip about the five elements, Mai palmistry, cattle raising knowledge or something, and occasionally buy a cheap one.

The strange thing is that my godfather has never taught me the last two articles, since I am my godfather, I can talk to him casually, so I asked him the meaning of the sentences in the last two articles.

Who knew that my godfather coughed, and said with a red face, in fact, this book was picked up by the landlord in his village when the Cultural Revolution broke the four olds, and he had no one to teach him, and he also pondered it himself, and he didn't understand the back!

It turns out that he doesn't teach, but he won't! I was stunned!
