Wang Mingyuan walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and there was no good place to go for a while.

At this time, he especially wanted to return to the anchor point in the grove near the market of Adu Commune, and then go directly to the militia commander of the commune (the commune also has the head of the armed forces, and the head of the militia is also the minister), but he is still in Mangxian County, so he can't appear in Adu Commune as soon as Long Yaowu's phone call.

Two or three hundred miles away!

Let's go around the city, go back to Zhangjiaao for one night in the evening, and then go to Adu Commune tomorrow to find someone.

After making up his mind, Wang Mingyuan began to wander on the street, thinking that the farm would grow medicinal herbs in the future, and it was indispensable to deal with the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The supply and marketing cooperative's medicinal materials purchase and sales office is not lively, but there are a few scattered people in and out, most of them are people wearing various national costumes carrying large bags and small bags to drill in, and the herbs they sell are all dug up by themselves.

There are all kinds of medicinal herbs such as mugwort leaves, mutong, blood vine, bone grass, and grass black in it.

Some of them are fresh and dried in dustpans on shelves, and most of them are dry.

The inspector is looking through the bag, checking the quality of the herbs, and the statistician is in charge of weighing and calculating.

Of course, there are also some people who come to the purchase office purely to ask about the drugs and prices they have purchased. Some of them brought herbs and were told not to accept them by the acquisition station.

Wang Mingyuan found that in these years, there are not many literate people, and even fewer understand herbal medicine.

Wang Mingyuan walked around inside, and his eyes fell on the public notice board of the acquisition.

The types of herbs purchased and their respective prices are indicated.

It was on this public notice board that Wang Mingyuan made a new discovery.

Honeysuckle, long-term acquisition, price: three yuan a catty (dry products)

Sanqi, long-term acquisition, price: 15 yuan a pound (dry products)

……

He had visited the supply and marketing cooperatives of Adu Commune, and also saw the public notice board of the medicinal herb purchase office, and he had the impression that the purchase price of honeysuckle in Adu Commune was only 1.5 yuan, and it was only then that it arrived in Mangxian County, why did the price double?

If you go to Mingcheng, will it be higher?

Wang Mingyuan felt that it was necessary for him to do a good job of investigating the purchase and sale of medicinal materials, and it was also necessary to study the simple preparation of various herbal medicines. This is very useful after the farm is established!

Since he was going to do a special investigation, Wang Mingyuan was not in a hurry, he got up and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, but he didn't expect to be up for a while, when he passed by the state-run canteen, he saw Li Ming and other six people, eating in the canteen, and he immediately walked in.

Seeing Wang Mingyuan coming in, several people stood up one after another and gave Wang Mingyuan a seat.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Wang Mingyuan glanced at the table and saw a large bowl of white rice, with tofu and cabbage, tomato and eggs, and fried meat...... The food was very good, he sat down and greeted a few people: "Sit!" ”

Several people sat down one after another, and Li Ming said: "I'll come back early when the things are sold, we arrived the day before yesterday, and a few of them only arrived yesterday, and they made an appointment to come out together today." ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded: "Did it go well this time?" ”

"It's okay, it's all going well. In a group of two, one is responsible for peddling, and the other is responsible for controlling the wind, and if something is wrong, he will leave immediately, and nothing will happen, and he feels that there are more people selling things now, just like Mangxian, there are a lot more. ”

Is it much?

Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there were indeed more fresh faces, and it seemed that there were really more people selling things.

During this time, he often mixed in Mangxian County, and he felt that there was no change. But Li Ming and the others are different, they have to come back every few days after going out, and their perceptions are naturally different.

"There will be more and more people doing business in the future."

Wang Mingyuan knew the reason for this change, he got up and went to find Bai Qidong's apprentice, ordered a few more dishes, and had a meal with a few people, and after filling their stomachs, several people also walked out, chose a remote place, and handed over the money from the sale to Wang Mingyuan.

A group of 100 sets of really good clothes, 50 Shanghai watches, and after removing the income of a few people, Wang Mingyuan received a total of more than 17,000 yuan from a few people, plus those he sold, about 23,000.

Coupled with the balance after buying Cordyceps on March Street in Lixian County, Wang Mingyuan now has more than 46,000 yuan in his pocket.

There are still nineteen Shanghai watches left in the small space that have not been sold, and I originally thought that I would not be able to sell them in Mangxian, but I sold them in Mingcheng.

Wang Mingyuan thought that so many things would happen next, and he went to Mingcheng in a hurry, and returned in a hurry, thinking about what he was doing, but he forgot about selling these nineteen watches.

Seeing that a few people had nothing to do, he simply pretended to pee, found a place where no one was, took out the Shanghai watches, and handed them over to a few people to sell after returning.

After a few people left happily, Wang Mingyuan also teleported directly to the sinkhole, preparing to take a bath here, bask in the sun, and return to Zhangjiaao when it was dark.

Tomorrow, he has to go to Zhang Shouzhong's brother to discuss the selection of people, and he plans to contact the people they introduced first, and then go to the commune to find the militia commander to ask for someone.

Who knows, just as he arrived at the sinkhole and soaked in the hot spring for a short time, several high-pitched and loud cries suddenly came from the forest.

Elephant Song!

Wang Mingyuan recognized the voice at once.

He hurried out of the hot springs, put on his clothes and shoes, ran towards the cliff behind him, and found an easier place to climb up for a while, looking over the dense trees in the sinkhole to see in the direction from which the sound came.

There, a herd of elephants roamed the woods.

Wang Mingyuan counted the eighteen elephants that could be seen, one by one nimbly using their long snouts to roll up the tender branches and leaves and grass.

Obviously, this is a herd of wild elephants.

The scene in front of him can easily cause a sensation in the future.

Wang Mingyuan still remembers that two years ago, an elephant herd went all the way to the north to eat, which attracted attention at home and abroad.

Unexpectedly, the elephant herd would appear near this sinkhole.

However, this is also normal, Hongzhou, to which Mangxian belongs, has been rich in elephants since ancient times, and the ancestors of the Dai people domesticated elephants and used elephants for riding, warfare and transportation have a long history.

After the establishment of the Dai Tusi system, the elephant was the main tribute of the Tusi to Beijing for the pilgrimage.

What's even more interesting is that in the ancient society of the Dai people in Hongzhou, Yun Province, there were high-ranking military generals who specialized in commanding elephant soldiers.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, elephants have been tamed, at that time Hongzhou was a place with a herd of elephants, in the "Historical Records", Hongzhou is also known as "Yunnan Yue Elephant Country".

In the 50s, when Tusi was invited to the National Day ceremony, he was ready to offer an elephant, but unfortunately, because of the long distance, the transfer was not prepared, and finally stayed in the Mingcheng Zoo.

Hongzhou is a place where elephant culture is concentrated.

Walking on the streets of Mangxian County, and even in the pagoda temple, you can see elephant sculptures, elephant brocades, elephant murals and other things everywhere.

In later generations, due to human or weather changes, the main activity area of elephants became Banna instead of Hongzhou, but it is now 80 years, so it is not so surprising that Wang Mingyuan adjusted his cognitive differences.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Mingyuan was a little bored, and when he was about to return to the hot spring, another elephant song suddenly came, this time the elephant sound was different from before, and he was obviously very panicked.

He looked up and saw a baby white elephant, probably too naughty, stepping on the edge of the sinkhole and falling down, and then getting entangled in the thick vines of the cliff, struggling.

The other elephant spun around on the edge of the cliff, trying several times to stretch out its long trunk, trying to drag the baby white elephant up to no avail.

Even if it was already on its knees, it was still a few tens of centimeters off.

Eventually, it could only spin around anxiously and hiss, but the stones at the mouth of the cliff were overwhelmed and rolled down.

The baby elephant was also struggling, and Wang Mingyuan was frightened for a while, for fear that it would fall off the stone wall.

The position of the baby elephant is more than 30 meters high from the ground below, followed by a large stone slope, which is really going to fall, I am afraid that there is only a dead end.

As everyone knows, what do you want.

I only heard a loud sound, it seemed that the vine carrying the baby elephant was broken, and the baby elephant fell down like a stone, and now, although there were still a lot of rattans below, there was no way to hold it anymore, but it was a blink of an eye, and a lot of rattan fell to the slope below, rolling out several meters before stopping.

I'm a man!

Wang Mingyuan was frightened, quickly got down from the stone wall, and ran towards the place where the baby elephant fell.

The elephant at the top of the cliff screamed more and more terrible.

The baby elephant below didn't respond to the hiss as before, and it didn't know if it was dead or alive.

It took more than ten minutes for Wang Mingyuan to walk through the dense jungle at the bottom of the sinkhole, climb the stone slope, and see the white baby elephant that was wrapped in vines, cut several times all over his body, and became bloody, lying motionless on the ground.

Above, there was an anxious elephant on the top of the cliff who had fallen stones and dirt, and Wang Mingyuan hurriedly dodged to the side, for fear that the elephant would also fall.

It wasn't until a few minutes had passed that the elephant on top had settled down a little, and even though the other elephants had left, it was still wandering back and forth, occasionally letting out a low elephant cry below, and even Wang Mingyuan could hear the sadness contained in the sound.

Imagine the Chinese network

Wang Mingyuan once learned in the video that elephants' brains are very developed, and because of this, they have very complex emotions.

The video records that on a road, there is a baby elephant, born because of severe inflammation of the umbilical cord and died, the mother elephant shed tears, guarded the side for four whole days, again and again stretched out her nose to pull the dead baby elephant, trying to help it up.

At that scene, even Wang Mingyuan, who was a spectator, was deeply shocked.

Inexplicably sad!
