Chapter 2: Ginsengzi, a precious medicine
"It's too dangerous to deal with this kind of thing.
If you encounter someone difficult, it will be easy to get through, but when the time comes, it will be difficult even if you want to die.
Therefore, if you are really serious, you might as well learn martial arts.
If you have martial arts skills, you can also kill ghosts.
Moreover, it is not easy to provoke these things, and the safety is greatly improved. ”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Baihe and Zhao Hehua and said: "Baihe, the child is still young and his body is weak, so it is easy for him to attract this kind of thing, so you should pay more attention.
Okay, there should be nothing going on here, so I'll leave first. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you Uncle Zhong this time.
It's too late to bother Uncle Zhong anymore. Tomorrow, Uncle Zhong must come to my place for a meal. ”
Chen Baihe nodded repeatedly when he heard this, then quickly took out more than twenty copper coins from his pocket and put them in Uncle Zhong's hand.
Uncle Zhong shied away for a few words, then nodded with a smile and walked out.
……
Chen Yushu frowned.
was rejected.
This is actually quite normal.
Uncle Zhong is not alone, he also has family members and relatives.
This thing can also be regarded as a meal business. Helping people watch weddings and funerals can earn anywhere from dozens to hundreds to hundreds of thousands of copper coins. It is very popular in villages and towns all over the country, and there are many people who want to follow suit.
It is normal for him not to be related to others and not to teach.
But after encountering this incident, it was almost impossible to calm down his mind.
Must learn something.
read? Writing?
He has them all on his skill board.
It should be because his predecessor attended private school for two years and has his own abilities.
But it didn't have any effect on his experience.
Learn martial arts?
This was equally tempting to him.
But, how to learn? Who should I learn from?
My family is just an ordinary farmer's family, with one house, one yard, and three acres of farmland, which is definitely not enough to plow the ground for food.
So while my father was doing farm work, he was also a herb gatherer, and my mother was just an ordinary village woman. She could at most find some sewing work, and it was considered good to earn more than thirty copper coins in a month.
This is actually quite normal. Beijiao Village is backed by Jiupan Mountain. The mountains are lush with vegetation and contain many rare medicinal herbs. There are many people in the village like his father who go to the mountains to collect herbs during slack periods.
Otherwise, if we pay exorbitant taxes and apportionments year after year, and only rely on three acres of paddy field, how can it be enough?
In addition to herb gatherers, there are also hunters and blacksmiths in the village.
Beijiao Village may not be considered big, but in fact there are dozens of households, and there are only a few large households that can seriously rely on farming to survive.
But it is difficult for such a family to support him in martial arts training.
It is already a huge investment to allow him to learn to read in a private school. The most important thing I think about is that he can find a job as an accountant in the city in the future.
……
"Have Yushu fallen asleep?"
In another room, Chen Baihe asked.
"Already asleep."
After Zhao Hehua answered, she couldn't help but asked: "What do you think about Yushu wanting to learn skills?
I was sent to a private school two years ago, but it turned out that the scholar Zhang was also unreliable. He ran away after only two years of teaching.
Now that the children are so old, they really should learn a trade. Otherwise, if they are older and have no skills, they will not be able to make money and it will be difficult to find a wife.
I can't be like you, digging for food in the fields or running to the mountains to collect herbs, right?
How dangerous is that? ”
"Of course not."
Chen Baihe shook his head. As a herb collector, he naturally knew the dangers of this business.
This Jiupan Mountain is not a safe place. There are many poisonous insects and beasts. It is said that there are strange beasts and powerful beasts in the depths, so they actually only dare to walk around the edges. Even so, they are inevitably attacked by ferocious beasts. For example, Song Rentou, who lives not far from their front yard, was bitten on the shoulder by a wild wolf years ago. Although he remembered the teachings of his elders and did not dare to look back, and rushed forward in time, half of his face was still bitten off.
There was also a young man named Jiang from a neighboring village. His intestines were dislodged by a wild boar. He only had half his life left after being rescued. It was said that he was about to die.
Even he himself encountered several dangers.
Learning from the past, he certainly didn’t want his children to take this path.
"It's a pity that Uncle Zhong refuses to teach, otherwise his skills are quite good.
I have met him from all over the country, and I heard that last month he was asked to help by a gentleman in the county, and he came back with three taels of silver. ”
Zhao Hehua said enviously.
"What a fart.
He was lucky and didn't meet any big ones.
Ten years ago, there was a more powerful hag in our village. She was a witch with a shady mind, and she was well-educated. She didn't have a big sedan chair, so we couldn't even think of asking her to help. What would happen?
Once you go out, you can never come back.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Yushu is weak and can attract this thing at home even if he has nothing to do. How can he still be good if he follows him?
Don't worry about this matter. There will be a big gathering in three days. I plan to take the ginseng seeds and send them to Liu's Pharmacy.
Over the years, I have developed some friendship with the manager of the Liu Family Pharmacy. When the time comes, I can hand over the ginseng seeds and I should be able to deliver the jade book.
This Liu Family Pharmacy is the property of the Liu Family in the county. I heard that anyone who goes in can learn martial arts and learn how to identify medicines. If they are successful, they might become a doctor. ”
Chen Baihe gritted his teeth and said.
"That precious medicinal ginseng seed..."
Zhao Hehua's expression changed.
She knew how hard it was for her husband to obtain this precious medicine: ginseng seeds. She was really snatching it from a tiger's mouth, poaching it under the eyes of a ferocious beast, and almost lost her life.
And now that the autumn tax is approaching, the family has no money left, so it needs to be given away...
But when she thought of her baby, she just sighed.
At least Liu's Pharmacy is one of the few good outlets in the surrounding villages.
It's far better than being a gangster.
……
Early the next morning, Chen Yushu got up.
This night, he also didn't sleep well.
Anyone who had just experienced something like this would not be able to sleep well.
However, he still got up early, washed himself with willow branches, and then took out a book from his bamboo cabinet.
Three Character Classic!
It is a handwritten copy of the former private school for two years. In addition, there is also a copy of Hundred Family Surnames and a Thousand-Character Essay.
The previous Chen Yushu was obviously not a reading material. The book was not said to be brand new, but there were obviously not many signs of reading.
But he is naturally different now.
On the attribute panel, there are two skills clearly visible.
read! calligraphy!
Although he had already determined to learn martial arts, he did not want to waste time when there was no way to learn martial arts.
Not to mention, he knows very well how important reading and literacy is for a person who wants to achieve something in this world.
Otherwise, even if a martial arts secret book really falls into his hands, he will not be able to learn it.
So, after discovering the property panel, he started to learn again.
What I learned was naturally the writing of this world.
The writing in the previous life is still very different from this one.
He also needs to compare and identify one by one and re-memorize and understand them.
Fortunately, with the foundation he had learned in the previous two days and his certain 'cultural skills', his literacy speed was not slow.
After burning the incense, he 'read' the entire Three Character Sutra.
