Chapter 062 Slippery Veins
After seeing clearly what the black shadow looked like, Ye Qing was speechless for a moment.
A long yellow-brown tail and a pair of willow-shaped eyes. Who else could this be but the fox thief who stole seven or eight trout from her in the mountains last time?
Ye Qing really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Following the familiar weasel, she now welcomed an uninvited guest with a clear purpose.
I don't know how the fox knew she lived here, and it sneaked into her yard so early in the morning.
The key point is that after it raised its head and saw that it had been discovered, it did not dodge or evade, but instead rushed straight towards where Ye Qing was.
Gu Weidong had never seen the fox following Ye Qing to ask for sweet potatoes before, so when he saw this guy rushing over, he thought it was coming to bite him, and immediately raised his leg to kick it.
"Hey, no, no!"
Seeing this, Ye Qing quickly stopped Gu Weidong.
"It's coming for me!"
Gu Weidong was stunned, and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Ye Qing in surprise.
"Is this the fox you met in the mountains? Why did it come down the mountain? It even followed you to the village. It's not like those bears, asking for candy, is it?"
Ye Qing shook his head:
"Almost. But it doesn't want to eat sugar. It might be sweet potatoes."
Gu Weidong: ??? A black question mark on his face? Are you sure this thing is meant to be eaten with sweet potatoes, not chicken, duck or goose meat?
Seeing that Gu Weidong didn't believe it, Ye Qing turned around and went to the cellar. After a while, he took out two sweet potatoes.
The fox immediately came up flatteringly, its tail wagging vigorously like a clockwork, its eyes fixed on the two sweet potatoes, its drooling almost dripping.
Gu Weidong was really enlightened now. In his entire life, he had never seen a fox that was willing to do anything for a bite of food. It was too shameless!
Ye Qing threw the two sweet potatoes on the ground. The fox was about to bite them, but when it got close to them, it suddenly stopped.
As if remembering something, the fox turned around and ran to the place where it had just stood, sniffing around. After picking up something from the ground, it came up to Ye Qing.
Then the guy rubbed the back of Ye Qing's hand with his pointed mouth and raised his head to signal her to stretch out her hand.
Ye Qing stretched out his hand in confusion, and the next moment, a cluster of bright red fruits appeared in the palm of Ye Qing.
Yes, there was a cluster of them. There were at least twenty or thirty of them on that cluster of branches.
Each of the bright red fruits is the size of a peanut, all clustered together on a flower stalk. Judging from the freshness of the fruits, they must have been picked by the fox not long ago.
Ye Qing was stunned when he saw the fruit.
She didn't expect that these were actually ginseng seeds, and that a single branch could produce so many such large fruits. One could tell with just a little bit of imagination that the ginseng growing underneath was definitely a very old one!
"Where did you pick it?"
Ye Qing's eyes widened instantly and asked curiously.
Unfortunately, there was a language barrier between humans and foxes, and the fox could not understand her question. After giving the ginseng seeds to Ye Qing, it thought it had given Ye Qing a generous enough reward, so it turned around, picked up the two sweet potatoes and jumped out, jumped over the fence and ran away without looking back.
Ye Qing originally wanted to ask the fox to help lead the way to find the aged wild ginseng, but she never expected that the fox ran so fast and didn't give her any time at all.
Ye Qingdun felt depressed as her plan failed. She could only stare at the fence surrounded by vines, thinking resentfully in her heart that she would have to make the fence twice as high as before. She wanted to see if these guys could jump over it again!
Gu Weidong looked at the handful of red fruits in Ye Qing's hand with curiosity:
"What kind of wild fruit is this? Can I eat it?"
Ye Qing was immediately puzzled: "You are a silver groveler at the foot of Changbai Mountain, how could you have never seen this? This is ginseng seed, which can be eaten and used as medicine. It has a very high medicinal value."
"But there are only so few of them. They are not even enough to be used as medicine. But they can be used as seeds. It happened that I talked to Captain Wu yesterday and opened a medicine garden in the back room of Grandma Zou's house. I will plant all these ginseng seeds and see if I can cultivate ginseng artificially."
This surprised Gu Weidong:
“Can ginseng be cultivated artificially?”
It is not surprising that Gu Weidong would have such doubts. Before the reform and opening up, most of the ginseng on the domestic market was wild ginseng dug out from deep mountains, and most of it was produced in Changbai Mountain.
During this period, ginseng was considered an expensive luxury item among traditional Chinese medicines. Ordinary people might not even be able to see the real thing, let alone eat it.
It was not until the 1980s, when the household contract responsibility system came into being and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry began to support the planting industry in various ways, that farmers in the three northeastern provinces began to try ginseng planting.
And with the accumulation of experience, the planting technology gradually matured, the number of participants joining this industry increased rapidly, and the planting area also expanded rapidly.
Around the turn of the millennium, ginseng was no longer exclusive to the rich, and ordinary people could afford to use this herb in their dietary prescriptions.
Gu Weidong was reborn in the early 1990s. At that time, the domestic ginseng planting industry was still in its infancy. If he had not been involved in the field of medicinal material planting, it would be normal for him not to know the development history of ginseng planting.
Seeing that Gu Weidong was really curious about this, Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh:
"Not only can ginseng be cultivated artificially, but also Ganoderma lucidum. If we build a greenhouse, we can also collect Ganoderma lucidum spore powder."
Previously, the fox gave Ye Qing a wild red ganoderma that was several decades old. Ye Qing had carefully wrapped the red ganoderma in cloth and did not unpack the cloth after bringing it down the mountain, for fear that the few spores left inside would be shaken out.
She planned to go back and bury a few dead wood stumps in the herb garden at the back, sprinkle the spores of red ganoderma on them, and then use her wood-related supernatural powers to catalyze and try to grow red ganoderma as well.
If this could be grown, it would be a real bonanza!
Gu Weidong was not stupid. As soon as he saw Ye Qing's excited and expectant expression, he understood what Ye Qing wanted to do:
"Do you plan to develop the Chinese medicinal herb planting industry in Kaoshantun in the future?"
Ye Qing didn't expect Gu Weidong to react so quickly. He guessed her plan in no time. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked back:
"No? I know the techniques of growing Chinese medicinal herbs, and I also know how to process them. If I can gain a firm foothold in rural basic medical care, I won't even have to worry about the sales of these herbs. I have the entire industrial chain under my control. Everything is ready, and all I need is the boost of the household contract responsibility system!"
"While everyone was still in the ignorant stage in the past few years, Kaoshantun was one step ahead and walked in the forefront of everyone. As long as everyone works together, it is not a dream to become the leader in the medicinal material planting industry!"
Ye Qing is full of ambition and is already imagining a beautiful blueprint for the future.
But Gu Weidong hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her:
"It's a good idea, but have you ever considered that no matter how technically savvy you are, you are still an outsider."
"The farmers in the village have been tied to the land for their entire lives. Now they are finally able to contract their output to each household. Everyone must be thinking about rolling up their sleeves and working hard on the land. As long as the rice, wheat and corn in the fields are harvested well, they can have enough food to eat."
"So, as an educated youth from the city, what can you do to convince these villagers to give up farming and follow you to engage in the new industry of growing medicinal herbs, which has no future?"
These words instantly chilled Ye Qing to the core, and she was stunned.
It has to be said that what Gu Weidong said does make sense. Ye Qing thought about it for a long time but couldn't find any words to refute it.
She had the foresight and experience of decades or even hundreds of years, so she could naturally speak from a God's perspective, and she firmly believed that this industry would definitely become the only way to make a fortune in the future. The villagers of Keshantun did not have such advanced awareness and cognition, so how could they believe her empty words?
Unless she sets up a few examples in the village beforehand, so that everyone can see with their own eyes that this line of work can indeed make a lot of money, then there will naturally be villagers who voluntarily take this path without her having to say much, and they may even flock to it and try their best to squeeze into this circle.
After being enlightened by Gu Weidong, Ye Qing immediately understood what was going on.
She nodded and said, "Your words reminded me that I really need to think of a coping strategy in advance. Otherwise, if I wait until the policy is implemented to solve the problem, I may not be able to catch up with the time difference."
Gu Weidong originally wanted to remind Ye Qing that in order to resolve this hidden danger, there is actually a simplest and most direct solution, which is to change identity.
Her current household registration is still registered with the Educated Youth Office, but if she settles down in Kaoshan Village, gets a homestead to build a house, and completely integrates into this collective, she will officially become a member of the village.
In this way, people in the village will no longer be distant and reject her, and many of her subsequent plans will be much easier to implement.
But Gu Weidong was afraid that this suggestion might cause Ye Qing to misunderstand him, so after careful consideration, he swallowed the words back.
After making an appointment to change Mancang's medicine at the thatched hut at the end of the village at noon, Gu Weidong went back to the mountain.
However, after all this trouble, Ye Qing couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the two snakeskin bags of meat and offal in the kitchen, she was too lazy to sleep anymore, so she simply processed the ingredients.
Cut off the cheek meat and ears of sheep, pig and deer heads, put the remaining parts in a pot and simmer slowly. Boil the skull into a milky white soup, and carefully remove the meat on top. It is estimated that you can remove several kilograms of meat from a few heads.
Ye Qing planned to smoke the 20 kilograms of pork, the remaining small game such as pheasants and rabbits, and a few offal into bacon.
Even if she gave half of the smoked vegetables to the Gu family, she would still have a lot left for herself. Together with the wild boar leg she got last time, if she saved these preserved vegetables and ate them sparingly, they should last until the end of the year when the mountains were closed due to heavy snow and the village organized hunting expeditions into the mountains.
By then, Ye Qing would definitely have to go into the mountains with most of the people to do the shopping, and at least he would have to buy some supplies for his own kitchen.
As for the ten kilograms of venison and five kilograms of yellow sheep meat that were left behind, Ye Qing did not plan to smoke them. These two types of meat were obviously of high quality, and it would be a shame not to hotpot them while they were fresh!
So when Ye Qing was preparing for lunch, he directly called Gu's family and Meng Jia to come over to his house for hot pot.
Pig offal is difficult to clean, thanks to Ye Qing's willingness to sprinkle flour into it, otherwise just those few large intestines would be enough for her to endure.
Ye Qing didn't finish preparing the ingredients until the Gu family got up in the morning to get ready for work. It took her several hours and she was almost exhausted.
But she couldn't rest, as she had to sort out the herbs that she had dug up two days ago and plant the seedlings in the medicine garden. Those herbs that had grown into herbs with sufficient medicinal properties had to be processed into finished products.
During this period, Meng Jia and Gu Weinan also came to help, and Ye Qing taught them how to prepare medicinal materials. Each kind of medicinal material has to go through different processes, such as how to stir-fry, steam and roast. The complexity of the process is definitely a science.
In addition to teaching the two how to prepare medicinal materials, Ye Qing also went to Gu's house to treat Mr. Miao again.
Because of the upgrade of her supernatural powers, Ye Qing's ability to control the disease has also risen to a higher level. She also has a new understanding of Gu's grandmother's illness, so after giving the old man an acupuncture, Ye Qing added and subtracted a few medicines and adjusted the dosage.
"You have to take this medicine for half a month to see the effect. After this course of treatment, I will adjust the prescription according to my grandfather's condition. If you want him to be able to walk briskly like a normal person or even work on the ground, I can't guarantee it, but if you just want him to stand up again, be able to talk to people and take care of himself, then there is no problem."
Ye Qing said this in front of Gu's grandmother. It seemed that he was explaining it to Aunt Gu, but in fact, he said it deliberately for the patient to hear.
Although the old man was paralyzed in bed and unable to speak, his mind was still clear. When he heard Ye Qing say that he could cure him so that he could get out of bed and speak, the tension that had been tense between his legs finally relaxed. He turned his head and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
Because he could not move after the fall, Grandpa Miao had been often disliked by his sons and daughters-in-law in Miaojiatun. Each family shirked the responsibility and pushed him away like a ball, sending him from one family to another and from one family to another. In short, he was always making noise and never stopped.
Now that he had come to his eldest daughter's place, Grandpa Miao actually felt ashamed and guilty at the same time. He was afraid that his arrival would cause trouble for his eldest daughter and cause her to be bullied by her son-in-law.
These days, Master Miao has even lost the will to live. He feels that rather than living without dignity and causing trouble for his children, it would be better to just die. If he was able to get up from the bed, he would have hanged himself on a beam long ago.
But he never expected that, in a sudden turn of events, a young lady from the city actually said that his disease could be cured, which made Old Man Miao very excited.
He did this not for the sake of living a few more years, but because he really didn't want to be a burden to his children. When he recovered from his illness, he would move back to Miaojiatun as soon as possible, and he couldn't be a bother to his daughter and son-in-law.
Miao Cuilan had no idea what her father was thinking. She carefully asked about the precautions during treatment and asked Gu Weinan to write down the medical instructions item by item, fearing that any negligence would delay her father's condition. She even did the task of boiling the medicine herself.
Ye Qing really made a hot pot at noon. He used the boiled bone broth as the base, and then cut the yellow sheep meat and venison into thin slices and put them into the hot pot. The taste was so delicious that it made your eyebrows drop.
Gu Weidong had just brought Mancang down to change the medicine, so of course he would not miss this delicious lunch. A room full of people gathered in the small kitchen and ate up the ten kilograms of venison and five kilograms of mutton in just one meal.
During the meal, Gu Zhenxing and his wife once asked Ye Qing to cut a few pounds of meat as a token of appreciation, but Ye Qing didn't listen at all. In her opinion, eating hot pot is more comfortable when you eat to your heart's content. Besides, yellow sheep meat and venison are only delicious when eaten fresh. They will lose their flavor after a day or two.
Of course, the most important thing is that the meat was not obtained by her hard hunting, but was given to her for free by the black bears and coyotes. So even if she consumed more than ten kilograms of meat for a meal, Ye Qing did not feel bad at all.
In short, this meal really made everyone enjoy themselves. Each person ate more than a pound of meat. How could they not be happy?
Not to mention these natives, even for Ye Qing herself, this was probably the first time she had eaten so luxuriously in the past ten years. After all, in the end times, let alone eating meat, it was even a problem whether one could eat enough. The hardship and suffering of those days were even worse than those in the 1960s and 1970s.
After dinner, Ye Qing followed Gu Weidong to the end of the village. Mancang and his wife were guarding the thatched hut. Because there were only the Gu family and Grandma Zou's family at the end of the village, and no one would come here on weekdays, so no one noticed that there were two coyotes hiding in the thatched hut.
After changing Mancang's medicine and checking his injuries, Ye Qing said to Gu Weidong:
"It has recovered much faster than I expected. You can send it back to the cabin on the mountain and keep it for another two or three days. It will be fine."
Gu Weidong had already guessed that Ye Qing had special abilities. After all, he was seriously injured and recovered after only one week of treatment in Shencheng Hospital.
He was very aware of his own physical condition and knew that he definitely did not have a special physique that allowed wounds to heal particularly quickly, so the most likely reason for this situation was that Ye Qing had done something to him.
Looking at Mancang again, he had suffered such a serious injury in the abdomen, but he recovered so quickly. What else did Gu Weidong not understand?
But he did not ask questions about this matter. Instead, he thanked Ye Qing solemnly.
As a person who has been reborn, he knows too well how much courage it takes to reveal the cards in his hand.
At first, he and Ye Qing had never met before. Because of his special identity as a "policeman", she used her special ability to save his life. Now, this girl saved Mancang without hesitation, and had no intention of hiding anything in front of him.
This is a kind and honest girl, so even though he has seen through the secret hidden in her, Gu Weidong deliberately pretends to be ignorant and cooperates with Ye Qing in acting.
After sending Gu Weidong and Mancang away, Ye Qing did not rush back. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people around the thatched house at the end of the village, she went into the nearby bushes, ready to find a tree and secretly try out what difference her special ability would make after it was upgraded to level three.
Ye Qing's hand naturally touched a nearby birch tree, and the next second, a surge of energy surged towards her palm.
She was startled and instinctively withdrew her hand.
When Ye Qing retracted his hand, his eyes widened immediately.
Before, when she upgraded by absorbing the wood energy in the forest, as long as she set her sights on a tree, the plant would sprout, grow leaves and bloom wildly in the process of absorbing the wood energy. During this process, she could not unilaterally stop this absorbing game.
But now, she actually struggled to free her hand!
This shows that she can now control herself freely!
That's not all. Ye Qing put her hand back on the trunk, and then she was surprised to find that the energy that she could only absorb from a single plant before has now expanded to radiate around the tree. The energy contained in the plants within a ten-meter radius can all be used by her.
And the most crucial thing is that after the superpowers were upgraded, her body was no longer a storage device, but more like an energy purification processor. After being seized, the plant energies would not stay in her body for too long, but would only return to the bodies of the plants in the woods after circulating for a week.
In the process of this cycle, her wood ability will continue to improve and strengthen, and the energy she absorbs will become more pure. After the energy is transferred back to the plants, it will not cause any stimulation to the condition of the plants themselves. Instead, it will make these plants more vibrant and grow more luxuriantly.
In other words, her previous method of upgrading her supernatural powers was relatively primitive, but now that she has had an epiphany and optimized her method of upgrading, she has changed from a predator to a collaborator. She can complement the plants and achieve a win-win situation without causing the plants to sprout crazily, grow leaves, and bloom, which are weird phenomena that are not in line with the season.
This change made Ye Qing extremely ecstatic. God knew how scared she was when she upgraded her supernatural powers before. She was worried that someone would notice something abnormal while she was absorbing energy. But now with this upgrade, she no longer had to worry about attracting the attention of anyone around her.
It looks like she will be able to go into the mountains whenever she has time.
By practicing with the old trees in the Changbai Mountain forest, her abilities can be quickly upgraded, and those old trees will be reborn. This is definitely the perfect improvement mode that Ye Qing has always longed for.
After the medicinal garden in the backyard was opened, Ye Qing planted the red ganoderma and ginseng seeds that the fox gave her.
After being tortured by the fox, there were not many spores of Hongzhi left on the umbrella. However, when they fell on the rotten wooden stump, after being catalyzed by Ye Qing's supernatural power, dozens of red mushrooms emerged from them, which looked quite pretty and cute.
As for the ginseng seeds, normally they are in a dormant period right after being picked, and they will definitely not germinate if planted. However, they could not withstand Ye Qing's repeated stimulation with his supernatural powers, so within just one night, the seeds all broke out of their shells one after another.
However, the seedlings of these two plants are not frost-resistant, so Ye Qing plans to plant them in wooden boxes for the time being, and then move them directly indoors when winter comes. As long as they can survive this year's crop, there should be no problem.
As for the medicinal garden, she felt that after the autumn harvest, she should ask Wu Yongbing to find someone to help build a heat preservation shed to protect the herbs to the greatest extent possible from being frozen to death by the heavy snow. Otherwise, her plan for the medicinal herb planting base would be aborted before it could even be implemented.
Less than two days after returning from collecting herbs in the mountains, Ye Qing planned to ask Meng Jiagu and Wei Nan to go to the military farm again.
On the one hand, it is to review the health status of the cows and calves delivered last time, and on the other hand, it is to record and test the pregnancy data of the remaining cows about to give birth, so as to prepare for the next wave of deliveries.
As a result, before she could even go out, she was blocked at the gate of the yard by an unexpected person.
Looking at Wu Yueying in front of him, whose face looked somewhat haggard, Ye Qing felt puzzled and bewildered.
Ever since Wu Yueying and Wu Yongbing had a big fight at the entrance of the village and Wu Yongbing threatened to sever the father-daughter relationship with this little girl, Ye Qing has never seen this girl again. It is said that she was angry with her family and ran directly to her grandmother's house.
Jian Ming and Liu Mei's marriage was a foregone conclusion, and Wu Yueying could not change the reality by tearing up their marriage certificate. So Wu Yueying's calculations were in vain. Not only did she gain nothing, but she also ruined her own reputation.
Ye Qing thought that after this incident, the girl would finally wake up, clear her mind, reflect on how much of a failure she was as a reborn person, and then learn from her mistakes and re-plan her future path, and not throw away all the good cards in her hand!
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that the girl had a new plan, but she shifted her attention to Ye Qing. The first thing she said was outrageous business skills, and she actually expected Ye Qing to help her get rich and play a counterattack script.
"I've asked around. You went into the mountains a few days ago. When you came back, you not only dug up a lot of herbs, but you also carried a few baskets of mountain products!"
"You are quite strong, can throw needles and use a knife, so hunting in the mountains is no problem for you. I think we can work together. You will be responsible for the supply of goods, and I will be responsible for helping you deal with the mountain products and prey you bring back from the mountains. We will split the money we make in 50-50. How do you think?"
Ye Qing almost thought he had heard it wrongly, and couldn't help but scratch his ears:
"What did you say?"
Wu Yueying thought Ye Qing really didn't understand, so she repeated it again.
Ye Qing was speechless.
She really couldn't understand how Wu Yueying developed such a self-centered personality.
He was so crazy that he came to her and proposed such an absurd cooperation plan. Does Ye Qing really look like a brainless sucker?
The prey that she, Wu Yueying, hunted with great effort, was sold off and she was going to take half of the profits from the prey?
He is really good at getting something for nothing, even more ruthless than Zhou Baopi!
Besides, speculation is a serious crime these days. Not to mention whether Ye Qing has the courage to engage in this business, even if she really wants to go down this path, she will not choose to cooperate with a stranger with whom she has little connection.
What can Wu Yueying offer? She has no brains, no connections, and no physical strength. In this cooperation, she can't provide any value.
If Wu Yueying dared to pat her chest and say in front of Ye Qing that if she was caught and anything happened, she would bear all the consequences and would never blame Ye Qing, then Ye Qing might even think more highly of this woman.
But does Wu Yueying have the courage? Obviously not.
With Wu Yueying's personality, Ye Qing even doubted whether she could get the 50% profit smoothly if she really sold the prey.
Moreover, if something happens, this woman will be the first to jump out and blame Ye Qing. In order to redeem herself from her crime, she will even put all the blame on Ye Qing!
Therefore, unless Ye Qing was out of his mind, he would never think of getting into the same boat with this woman.
Ye Qing was too lazy to beat around the bush with Wu Yueying, so he said directly:
"Comrade Wu, speculation is illegal. It seems that the popularization of laws in our village is not enough. You, the daughter of the captain, don't even know about it. How about this, I will go and talk to Captain Wu to see what his attitude is. If the captain supports it, we can discuss this cooperation. What do you think?"
These words made Wu Yueying's face turn red immediately. She hadn't been home for several days since the quarrel with her family. This time when she returned to the village, she deliberately avoided Wu Yongbing, for fear that her father would find out that she was doing these shameful little things behind his back.
Wu Yueying originally thought that Ye Qing would readily accept her proposal and would be happy to facilitate this cooperation.
After all, who doesn't need money these days? Who would complain about having too much money? She completed the most important part of the transaction for Ye Qing, which meant that Ye Qing didn't have to face the risk of being exposed. It would be a fool not to do such a good thing, right?
But she never expected that Ye Qing would not play by the rules at all. Not only did he refuse to agree, he was also directly sarcastically towards her. This made Wu Yueying very unhappy, and she felt that Ye Qing was simply ungrateful!
But the most crucial link in Wu Yueying's way of making money is Ye Qing. Without a stable source of mountain products and prey, all her business acumen would be in vain.
Unable to save enough initial capital, even if she knew the historical process of more than ten years after the reform and opening up, and knew which industries would rise and make big money in the future, she could only watch helplessly as she had done in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Wu Yueying felt very unwilling. She couldn't help but stare at Ye Qing:
"Then what do you want to cooperate with? Are you dissatisfied with the share you are offering? How about 40% to 60%? If that doesn't work, then 30% to 70%. Any lower would be too much. You can't let me work for you for free, right?"
Ye Qing shrugged:
"It's not about the profit sharing. I just want to live a stable life and not worry about my head. Comrade Wu, you have great ambitions. Just go and do great things. I won't keep you company with a useless person like me who just muddles through life. Please do as you please!"
Having said that, Ye Qing didn't even look at Wu Yueying, he walked out of the yard and headed towards the pigsty and cowshed at the entrance of the village.
When Wu Yueying saw Ye Qing was about to leave, she rushed over and stopped her.
Ye Qing's face darkened slightly, and he was about to shake off Wu Yueying's arm and scold her, but he didn't expect her to be grabbed and she froze.
This is——
Ye Qing looked at Wu Yueying in surprise and suspicion, unable to believe what he had touched.
Wu Yueying didn't notice the surprise in Ye Qing's expression and was still trying to argue with Ye Qing, but at this moment she heard the voices of the Gu siblings coming from the next yard.
Because of her broken engagement with Gu Weidong, Wu Yueying no longer wanted to meet Gu's family, so when she heard the noise, she subconsciously wanted to avoid them.
Ye Qing now had nothing to say to Wu Yueying, so when he saw an opportunity to ask for help, he quickly shouted towards the next yard:
"Xiao Nan, go borrow a bicycle from the old Party Secretary. Let's go to the farm next door today!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
As soon as Gu Weinan heard Ye Qing's shout, he immediately ran out from the next yard. When he saw Wu Yueying standing at the door of Zou's house, his expression immediately turned from bright to gloomy.
Ye Qing didn't care about Wu Yueying's reaction. He took Gu Weinan and walked towards the old branch secretary's house.
Because Gu Weinan was present, Wu Yueying no longer dared to stop Ye Qing, let alone mention any speculation or profiteering in selling mountain products.
She stood there, her face turning pale and blue, watching Ye Qing and Gu Weinan walk away quickly. Finally, she spat at Ye Qing's back unwillingly and said inwardly:
It's just a matter of beating a few wild boars. What's so great about that? I don't believe that I can't find a more suitable partner without you!
Even though she had hit a snag with Ye Qing, Wu Yueying still did not give up on the path of speculation. After all, if one wanted to make money quickly these days, there seemed to be no better way than this.
As for being caught, Wu Yueying had never thought about it.
First of all, Wu Yueying is not stupid. If she really found a stable source of goods, she would definitely not show up in person, but directly hire someone to help her deal with it. If she was really exposed, she would not be traced back.
Secondly, she felt that since she was able to be reborn, it meant that she was God's biological daughter. How could someone like her, who was blessed by nature and good fortune, fall into such a trivial matter?
In short, she is full of confidence at the moment, and it seems that we can already see her making a good living by selling mountain products.
Ye Qing had no idea that Wu Yueying had not given up her plan to make money. All she could think about at the moment was the big secret that had been accidentally revealed when she had grabbed Wu Yueying's elbow unintentionally.
As early as when she was still in Shencheng, she had used that trick to deal with Yin Shuang's stepmother Li Rulan. At that time, her supernatural power was only level two, and she was absolutely accurate in terms of pulse.
Now that she has reached level three, she has become even more sensitive and accurate. She is sure that there is something wrong with Wu Yueying's pulse. Even though it is still young, it is definitely a slippery pulse!
It's true that she likes to watch gossip, but for such a secret matter, maybe even the person involved hasn't noticed it yet, but she discovered it in advance. Ye Qing was overwhelmed by the amount of information hidden in it. For a moment, she felt shocked and excited, and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Master, what are you thinking about? Why are you distracted? You can't even hear me when I talk to you."
Gu Weinan chattered a lot to Ye Qing along the way, but found that Ye Qing didn't react at all. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing finally came back to his senses: "Ah, what did you say?"
Gu Weinan had no choice but to repeat himself:
"Master, what do you think about me dropping out of school and not going to school next year? I can come back and study medicine with you."
"Anyway, there isn't much of a learning atmosphere in the school these days. It's either criticizing this or fighting that. It's a mess all day long. The teachers don't dare to intervene, for fear of being posted with big-character posters by the students. It's a waste of time to stay in the school. It's better to use the time to study your courses."
This is the decision that Gu Weinan made after repeated consideration over the past two days.
She felt that even if she continued to study in school for the remaining one and a half years of high school, she would not learn much. If she used this year and a half to study and practice with Ye Qing, she would definitely make rapid progress.
The key point is that Ye Qing also accepted the educated youth Meng Jia as her apprentice. Meng Jia studied very hard and had a strong ability to learn. If there was a one and a half year difference in study time between the two, she would definitely be surpassed by Meng Jia!
Ye Qing quickly put aside the matter about Wu Yueying in his mind and talked to Gu Weinan about his high school studies.
According to Ye Qing's idea, she definitely still hopes that Gu Weinan will finish high school first before talking about other things. After all, a lot of medical knowledge requires a high school course foundation.
However, Gu Weinan mentioned the current learning environment in high schools in the county, which is indeed a headache. The overall environment is like this, and it is not possible to completely change the current situation just because a few teachers want to teach a few students and they want to learn.
Under such circumstances, most of those who continue to study in the county come from well-off families and are just waiting to join various units or factories as reserve cadres and workers upon graduation.
On the contrary, there are very few people like Gu Weinan and Gu Weibei, who simply return to their hometown to work on the farm just to get a high school diploma, because 99% of rural families are reluctant to spend the money and do not have the foresight to do so.
Ye Qing analyzed the pros and cons of Gu Weinan continuing to finish the next year and a half of high school. Finally, he asked Gu Weinan to consider it carefully. After all, for a long time in the future, a county high school diploma may be a very important certificate of ability for ordinary people. It may seem insignificant, but when the opportunity comes, it may play a crucial role.
Gu Weinan knew that what Ye Qing said made sense, but she really didn't want to continue going to school.
During this period, Ye Qing has taught her and Meng Jia several classes, and each class was unique and interesting.
She also realized that Ye Qing's knowledge reserves and skills were many times better than those of the teachers in the county high school.
So she had a blind respect and admiration for Ye Qing, and was willing to learn anything as long as Ye Qing was willing to teach.
But the teachers in the county just read from the textbook for fear of making mistakes, and the classes are so boring that it really doesn't interest people at all.
"When my eldest brother comes down from the mountain, I will go to discuss it with him. If he agrees with me dropping out of school, then I will not go to school next spring and concentrate on helping you, Master!"
Gu Weinan had made up his mind, so Ye Qing stopped trying to persuade him. The two of them walked to the old secretary's house and were about to ask him to borrow a bicycle. Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone came running back from outside. Without even taking a breath, he shouted at the old secretary inside:
"Old Party Secretary, it's bad. The people from our village are fighting with the people from Chousonggou at the grain station!"
