The Science of Rebirth Cultivated Herbs

Chapter 4 Going Down the Mountain

The so-called downhill has two real purposes: making money and spending money.To make money, it is the herb saffron that Dongzhu just picked. He plans to sell one first to see the price.It costs money, of course, to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, Shunjia's necessities for basic necessities.However, he wasn't sure if he could buy it all at once, because the wooden house was so poor that it didn't even have a copper plate, and the saffron didn't have much confidence in selling it at a high price.

So Dong Zhu groaned and asked Qiu Gong, "Are there many boars on this mountain?"

Qiu Gong thought for a while, "Not much."

Dong Zhu originally intended to sell half of the pork, but he heard from Qiu Gong that there were not many wild boars, and it was impossible for him to go hunting every day, not to mention that he worked so hard to cut the pork with a knife.Although this metaphor is very inappropriate, it is impossible for him to hand over his own son to others!

So Dongzhu gave up the direction of selling pork, gently stroked the saffron and said, "It's not forced by the situation, I will not sell this good medicine to make a living." Looking at another saffron, he said Qiu Gong suggested, "Why don't we plant this tree? Even if it can't be sold for a high price, it still has high medicinal value."

"what ever".

Dongzhu wrapped the saffron well in paper to prevent it from being bitten by insects in the middle of the night and not being able to sell for a good price tomorrow.Since this saffron is wild and created by nature, it is not artificially cultivated, so it looks uglier than artificially cultivated saffron.But it doesn't matter, the appearance is not good, but its medicinal value is undeniable.

It was already night to prepare the goods for tomorrow, and Qiu Gong, who had a regular schedule, had already taken off his coarse clothes and was getting ready to go to bed in his middle clothes.The snow-white tunic set off his flexible and powerful waist, and even more set off his royal temperament, as if this person was not a commoner in the wooden house, but a young man who wanted to change clothes in the hall.

Dong Zhu watched Qiu Gong elegantly changing clothes, lowered his head and thought carefully.From the first time he saw Qiu Gong, he felt that he did not fit the status of "mountain man", but should be a son or prince.But when he asked about his identity, perhaps because he was not very familiar with Qiu Gong, Qiu Gong ignored him, and instead gave him a cold glance.At this time, after seeing Qiu Gong whose temperament was seriously inconsistent with the mountain people again, Dong Zhu couldn't help thinking, maybe he is a prince who is tired of court struggles?Or a knight-errant who sees through the world of mortals, abandoning the world of mortals and living a life isolated from the world?

After Dong Zhu finished thinking, he felt that it was boring to think alone.She raised her head and wanted to chat with Qiu Gong, but saw that he was already lying on the bed and wrapped in a quilt.The bed was a bit narrow and could only accommodate more than one person. Although Dong Zhu didn't know where he should sleep at night, he still approached him kindly, "Qiu Gong, where should I sleep?"

"On the ground." The calm and flat voice was so heartless.

"Isn't it?!" Dong Zhu couldn't help screaming, "It's autumn now! Autumn! Will I not freeze to death when I sleep on the ground?!"

"No." Qiu Gong answered coldly, showing half of his head.

Dong Zhu rolled slowly to the ground under the coercion, trembling.I didn't expect that I was a dignified scientist with five-star accommodation and five-star service, and now I have no pillows, quilts, or beds... I was trembling with my arms crossed, and suddenly a set of quilts fell from him, and I looked up. , Qiu Gongzheng slowly put down his hand, nodded and said, "Here you are."

Seeing that although Qiu Gong was on the bed, he had no quilt and could only be covered with a coarse cloth, his thin figure looked even thinner under the moonlight.Dong Zhu felt a little guilty, so he handed him the quilt, "Use it, I'm not cold."

Qiu Gong said lightly, "Take it back. If you catch a cold, I don't want to be unable to go down the mountain tomorrow."

Dong Zhu couldn't push him away, and knew that he cared about him, so he felt a little grateful in his heart, so he wrapped himself in the quilt and said thank you in a low voice, before lying down with the quilt in his arms.After getting the quilt, it was really warmer, Dong Zhu rubbed the quilt, looked up at Qiu Gong, the beauty of the iceberg had fallen asleep with her back to him.

In fact, although this beauty is a bit cold and her face is paralyzed, she is a good person at heart!Dong Zhu thought, he thought he was very unfeeling before, but he didn't expect to blame him, and we still have to get along well together in the future... Thinking about it, he slowly fell asleep.

The next day Dong Zhu was woken up from the cold.Early morning is the coldest time of the day, especially in autumn, when the sun rises, Dong Zhu can't control his body reaction and wakes up from the blanket.Although the quilt was warm, the ground was still icy.Dong Zhu sat up slowly, looked around for a while, but the person on the bed disappeared.

"So sleepy..." Dong Zhu stretched his waist, staring straight at the bed.If you roll on the bed wrapped in a quilt, it should be very warm... I really want to try it... But this is Qiu Gong's bed, it's not good to get on it by yourself...

After struggling like this for a long time, Dong Zhu, who made up his mind to go to bed and lie down for a while, was about to take action, wrapped up the quilt, and was about to rush to the bed, when suddenly he heard a "squeak", it was Qiu Gong who pushed the door in, Dong Zhu had just His swooping action came to an abrupt end, and he fell to the ground with a snap.

"Hiss...it hurts." Dong Zhu sat up with tears in his eyes, just now he failed in the pounce, not only his buttocks were in close contact with the ground, but also his chin hit the bed.

"Get up." Qiu Gong just glanced at him with a "what the hell are you doing" expression, then sat down by the wooden stool by himself, and took out a paper bag from his pocket.

"Where did you go so early?" Dong Zhu asked curiously.Seeing Qiu Gong open the paper bag and there were two big white steamed buns inside, he suddenly realized, "Did you wake up so early just to get the steamed buns?"

Qiu Gong picked up the kettle, poured a cup of hot water into the teacup, then slowly took out a big white steamed bun and ate it.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Gong went down the mountain so early to exchange steamed buns.Dong Zhu couldn't help sighing, he really is a good person!That big white steamed bun should be for yourself, right?So Dong Zhu carefully picked up the remaining white flour steamed bun, seeing that Qiu Gong ignored him, he began to eat it with big mouthfuls.He felt very hungry after not eating for a long time, but thanks to Qiu Gong's big white steamed buns, he had the strength to go down the mountain today.Dong Zhu happily ate the white flour steamed buns, and said to Qiu Gong with a smile, "It's delicious, delicious, your taste is really good!"

After eating the steamed buns, Dong Zhu carefully put the paper bag with saffron in Qiu Gong's cloth bag, then carried the cloth bag on his back, dressed in Qiu Gong's coarse cloth, ready to go down the mountain refreshed.Although he was in good spirits at the moment, it was the first time he had come to ancient times after all, and he had spent so many days on an uninhabited mountain, so suddenly he was asked to go down the mountain to accept the world of the ancients... He was still a little shy.

Fortunately, Qiu Gong was with him. Although Qiu Gong was not the kind of person who would smooth things over and take him by the hand, he looked reliable anyway.So Dong Zhu yelled towards the inside, "Qiu Gong, have you come out yet?"

"En." Qiu Gong's cold voice came out slowly.Even when he was going down the mountain, he didn't dress more gorgeously, but he was still wearing the coarse cloth clothes, which showed a cool yet elegant temperament in the morning sun, which made Dong Zhu couldn't help but want to shout, yes Whose child has been abused so much, who looks so good and wears such cheap clothes! !

But Dong Zhu was Dong Zhu, he was lamenting that he didn't have any money to change Qiu Gong into a good suit, so he waved to Qiu Gong and asked Qiu Gong to take him down the mountain.Qiu Gong was used to going down the mountain, so he walked ahead.The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, some muddy, some wet, and unknown weeds blocking the trail.But even so, Qiu Gong was still able to easily brush away the weeds, and walked like flying on the dirt-free path, even the straw sandals were not stained with a little dirt.

Dong Zhu's influence on him has gradually changed, and now he feels more and more that perhaps Qiu Gong may be a peerless master, and he has no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains, that's why his movements are so agile at this time.I think so, but the reality is that Dongzhu has to keep a close eye on Qiu Gong's footsteps, so as not to let himself step into the wet soil.

It's been half an hour since I finally found my way to the reclaimed avenue.Does Qiu Gong spend all this time in exchange for food every day?Dong Zhu lightly looked at the expressionless Bingshan face, and suddenly felt a little admiration. "Have we reached the bottom of the mountain yet?"

"Well, go a little further, it's a place where mountain people often exchange supplies." Qiu Gong said, looking at the sparse forest in the distance.

"Then is there a medicine hall near here?" Dong Zhu asked, his main purpose was to sell saffron, but if there is no more formal medicine hall nearby, it will be impossible to sell at a good price to the maximum extent, even if it is a good one. Drugs are worthless in the eyes of those mountain people,

Qiu Gong shook his head.He has only walked nearby, and has not traveled further.

Dong Zhu was scratching his head in trouble, when he suddenly saw an old lady walking over with vegetables, and hurried up to ask, "Auntie, is there any big medicine hall near here?"

The aunt looked at Dong Zhu's short hair curiously and said, "Young man, if you want to go to a big medicine hall, you have to go to the town."

"How far is the town from here?"

"Then you have to hire a carriage." The aunt said kindly, "It takes a long time to walk. If you really want to go, the journey by carriage will only take two or three hours."

"Okay, thank you, ma'am." Dong Zhu said with a smile, watching the ma'am walk away, he approached Qiu Gong and said, "Shall we go to town?"

Qiu Gong nodded, then turned to ask Dong Zhu, "How do you want to go?"

"Of course it's a horse-drawn carriage!" Dong Zhu said happily, and finally he could go to the town and take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. This is a rare experience!

"Then do you have a copper plate?"

"What...?" Dong Zhu was stunned.

"Do you have a copper plate?" The voice said coldly.
