Li Tingyun saw that the old branch secretary was almost crying in anxiety and felt that it was really difficult to be a leader.
Xu Erhua also came over and heard the old branch secretary's embarrassed voice, and gently touched Li Tingyun.
Li Tingyun didn't want to go up the mountain at first because it was too cold and windy, and it would be even more troublesome if it rained.
She originally planned to take Xu Erhua to the mountains in the spring to learn about the medicinal herbs, and teach her some things from the books before the New Year.
Now, seeing the old Party Secretary's sad face, she could only take over the matter: "Old Party Secretary, don't worry, at worst Erhua and I can go over and help, and tomorrow we will continue to go up the mountain to dig herbs."
"This, this is great! I know that the medicinal herbs on the nearby mountains have been almost dug up. Do you want me to send two more people to help you?" The old branch secretary didn't know when Gu Xingwu would come back, and he was still worried about the two girls going up the mountain.
Li Tingyun thought this was a good opportunity and directly mentioned Erniu and He Fei.
Even if others said she was deliberately taking care of them, she still said the names of these two people: "Then let Brother Erniu and Brother He Fei go up the mountain with us?"
"Okay! I'll talk to the village chief and the team leader about this. Can you guys see if we can go up the mountain tomorrow?" The old branch secretary agreed readily.
After the old branch secretary left, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua became busy again.
Xu Erhua whispered, "Tingyun, if you let Brother He Fei and Brother Er Niu follow us up the mountain, will the villagers have any objections?"
"If there is, then there is. If you feel it's easy, let them accompany us for a few days and see what it feels like, and then no one will say anything." Li Tingyun felt that it was normal to have such thoughts, but she was already prepared.
When it was time to get off work in the evening, the team leader announced that Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua would go to support Hongming Village.
They will continue digging herbs in the mountains tomorrow and need two male comrades to go up the mountain to help. When the team leader called out He Fei and Erniu's names, several villagers who wanted to go up the mountain to fill their pockets expressed dissatisfaction.
"Why them? We can go too!"
"Yes, we can go too!"
"Isn't this partiality?"
Hearing this voice, the old branch secretary had a headache. He had finally asked Tingyun and Erhua for help, but these people were really looking for trouble.
Li Tingyun stepped forward and said, "The reason we chose He Fei and Er Niu is because they are more familiar with the conditions on the mountain. We need a lot of physical strength to climb the mountain, and those who are not physically fit will not be able to do it."
"I always run when I go up the mountain to chop firewood. I can definitely do it. Comrade Li Tingyun, you can't always side with them!" A male comrade next to him immediately took over.
Li Tingyun readily agreed: "Okay, this comrade will go up the mountain with us tomorrow. If anyone else wants to go up the mountain, we can bring another one."
When the team leader heard Li Tingyun say this, he picked a female comrade from the other comrades who spoke up to go up the mountain with them tomorrow.
Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua greeted the two of them kindly, explained in detail the tools they needed to bring up the mountain, and agreed on a time to go up the mountain before returning home.
He Fei felt quite calm as he watched Li Tingyun's operation.
Erniu felt a little uncomfortable. Those who spoke today all liked to take advantage of others. He hated such faces the most.
When I got home, I couldn't help but grumble to my eldest brother and sister-in-law: "These people, do they really think there are so many treasures in the mountains?"
"Then let them go. The wind on the mountain will give you a headache if you are exposed to it too much, let alone climbing up the mountain to look for medicine." Xiao Zhuang's mother is very open-minded.
She also understood that Tingyun was taking care of their family, and that going up the mountain with Tingyun and the others would definitely be beneficial, but it would be hard to say if others followed them.
"I don't think these people can hold on for a few days. Tingyun is not stupid." Grandpa Xiaozhuang said with a grin.
"Sister Tingyun and Sister Erhua are both so smart, I like them." Xiaozhuang said in a soft voice.
Hehehe…
The whole family couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
…
The next morning, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua took Heifeng out. Two comrades from the village were waiting nearby. The four of them went up the mountain chatting and laughing.
At first, the two comrades could still keep up, but they had already walked through the nearby mountains, and there were not many medicinal seedlings left in the forest?
Li Tingyun took them to climb a mountain and then to another mountain. It took three hours just to climb the mountain.
After entering the forest, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua dug up a few medicinal herbs. They showed them to the two of them carefully, gave each of them two herbs, and asked them to look for them according to the two types.
They came with a mission, and Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua would not waste time because of them.
The two comrades were not familiar with medicinal herbs, and they were still a little out of breath after walking non-stop on the mountain road. In addition, the wind was so strong that their heads were buzzing as they looked at the herbs.
"Why don't we eat first, and then we can slowly search. The wind is strong, so everyone should be careful. Remember to use sticks to dig around to avoid stepping on any traps." Li Tingyun asked them to digest for a while, and then found firewood nearby to start a fire.
Xu Erhua also helped. Everyone put their lunch boxes on the hot stones and started eating after they were slightly warmed up.
Since they were not his own people, Li Tingyun had no need to take out the delicious food. Today when they went up the mountain, they had sweet potato rice, and both of them mixed their water with spiritual spring water, and there was nothing else.
The two comrades also had mixed grain rice. Seeing the two young educated youth eating it, they didn't think it was anything special.
After finishing lunch in twenty minutes, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua packed up their things and continued to dig herbs. The two comrades wanted to take a break, but felt embarrassed, so they had to hurry up and catch up.
The wind was blowing so hard that when we reached the middle of the woods, we could hardly open our eyes.
"Comrade Tingyun, do you still want to go inside?" The female comrade didn't even want to lift a foot.
"If we don't continue, we will have to climb another mountain, and we will definitely not make it in time now. We don't even have half a basket now, and it will be difficult to report back!" Li Tingyun looked up at the mountains next to him. Those mountains were quite far away, and there was no time to make it today.
After hearing what Li Tingyun said, the two comrades had no choice but to continue following.
The road ahead was very steep, but Li Tingyun dug up a few special herbs. Erhua also dug up some. Although not much, it was still a good harvest.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was getting dark. The two comrades had only dug up two medicinal herbs. They wanted to continue digging reluctantly, but Li Tingyun was worried that it would be unsafe on the mountain at night.
"Let's go down the mountain. There are wolves on the mountain at night. It's too unsafe." Li Tingyun took a sip of water and started walking back.
Xu Erhua followed behind, and Heifeng followed beside Xu Erhua.
The two comrades were tired and hungry. After they left the forest, they saw that they still had to climb a mountain, and their legs felt weak.
Li Tingyun could see that they were tired, so they stopped outside the woods for a while. The howling of wolves was heard in the mountains.
The two comrades were so scared that they ran away, and in the end Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua chased them.
