Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Good News
"Grave?" Yang Dai was so shocked that her voice became a little louder. She looked back and found that Hu Ping was not nearby, so she calmed down again.
"Although the feng shui of this place is not very good, it is indeed so from the perspective of the terrain." Han Lin has been exposed to a variety of things since he was a child.
When he was young, in order to show his filial piety, he went to see the officials of the Imperial Observatory and learned Feng Shui, saying that he wanted to choose the most suitable imperial tomb for the emperor.
Han Lin was young at the time, just a child who had just begun to understand things. The emperor was also young and strong, and was not so wary of children. Han Lin's actions won the emperor's praise.
Although Han Lin's relationship with the emperor deteriorated later, the things he had learned before did not fade with time.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Han Lin looked back at the dilapidated temple and lowered his head to ask Yang Dai for her opinion.
Yang Dai stared down and finally shook her head. "No, I'll just pick herbs nearby."
Yang Dai had no interest in tombs, and she still had a certain awe for such things as ghosts and gods. If she really entered someone else's tomb, she would always feel a little uneasy.
"Then I'll go with you." Han Lin didn't say anything else, but just asked Yang Dai how to pick herbs and how to distinguish them.
Except for the barefoot doctor, most people in Huangzhuang Brigade don't know the various medicinal herbs. Moreover, this area has already exceeded the boundary of the ruined temple, and no one will come here at all.
This can be considered a good deal for Yang Dai today.
But Yang Dai also knew her limits. When she saw that it was almost time, she asked Han Lin to go back to the dilapidated temple.
Hu Ping in the dilapidated temple was already bored and started rummaging through the things he had brought with him.
The backpack that Hu Ping brought up the mountain was prepared by his family. Hu Ping himself didn't know what was inside, so he took this opportunity to open it and take a look.
Hu Ping was tinkering with his own things. When he saw Yang Dai and Han Lin come back, he was still very enthusiastic.
"I still have a lot of mung bean cakes in my bag. Let's share them." Although the time spent climbing the mountain was not long, they did not stop along the way, and the food they had eaten in the morning had been almost digested.
The mung bean cakes were produced by the county food factory. Yang Dai took one and thought it was too sweet, but she just frowned slightly and continued to eat it.
Han Lin handed Yang Dai the kettle in time to help her relieve the sweetness in her mouth.
Hu Ping was originally sharing his experience of using a slingshot with Han Lin, but when he saw Han Lin's actions, his original words were suddenly stuck in the middle and he couldn't say a word.
He simply looked away, as if something strange nearby had attracted his attention.
Yang Dai noticed Hu Ping's nonchalant behavior, and secretly glared at Han Lin, then looked at the straw Han Lin had found.
The scarecrow is not difficult to make. Han Lin originally wanted to do it himself, but Yang Dai suggested doing it herself and glanced at Hu Ping next to her.
Although Hu Ping is a person who can entertain himself very well, when three people go up the mountain together, it is impossible for the couple to stick together all the time and leave the guests aside.
"Come on, I'll take you hunting." Han Lin stood up and looked at Hu Ping.
At the same time, he took out a medicine bottle from his backpack and scattered it around the temple.
Those powders have the effect of repelling insects. Large wild animals will not easily approach after smelling the scent.
"I won't go far. Just call me if you have any problems." Han Lin was still worried and looked at Yang Dai who was sitting there.
Yang Dai's mentality was much more relaxed. She waved her hand perfunctorily and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to me."
Looking up and seeing Han Lin's serious expression, he deliberately added, "If anything goes wrong, I will definitely call you first."
"Go quickly." Yang Dai waved to Han Lin again, assuring herself that she was definitely capable of protecting herself.
Yang Dai's hands kept moving, but she was still thinking about the incident in the tomb.
The tomb is so close to the temple that it is very likely to be the burial place of the temple's abbot and others in the past, and it has unknowingly formed a large tomb.
But there is another possibility. The tomb was specially selected by a wealthy family in ancient times. Then the people in Huangzhuang Brigade must include the gravekeeper of that time.
But if it is really a tomb of this level, the identity of the tomb owner must be very noble.
But now the world has changed so much that probably no one knows about the past.
Yang Dai tied up the scarecrow in no time, walked out of the temple, found a flat and open place, put the scarecrow down, took out a whip, and practiced the techniques Han Lin had mentioned before, bit by bit.
The sound of a whip breaking through the air was heard. Hu Ping, who was enthusiastically taking bird eggs on the other side, heard the sudden sound of the whip and hurriedly followed the sound to see.
However, the branches between the mountains and forests obscured each other, so even if Hu Ping stood on a high place, he could not see anything clearly.
He jumped down from the tree holding the bird eggs and asked, "Are the people from the team also going up the mountain?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Hu Ping actually had his own reasons for choosing to climb the mountain today.
Because of the Hu family's in-laws and status in the local area, Hu Ping has seen many people using their connections to flatter others since he was a child.
Therefore, I don’t like to have a lot of people around me.
The reason we chose to go up the mountain at this time was because the team leader once said that it was the busy farming season and everyone in the team, except those who had asked for leave in advance, was basically busy in the fields and no one would go up the mountain easily.
Therefore, Hu Ping was curious about the sound of the whip, but also felt annoyed.
Although Hu Ping was also raised by his family, he was still no match for Han Lin, who could easily see through Hu Ping's thoughts.
"It's your sister-in-law practicing." Han Lin also looked in the direction of the voice. When he spoke, his tone was full of pride. "Your sister-in-law is going to the capital in a few days. She is worried about encountering danger on the road, so she plans to practice whip self-defense in advance."
"Going to the capital? Sister-in-law, going alone?" Hu Ping instantly gave up his plans to hunt for bird eggs. He jumped over to Han Lin and asked enthusiastically, "What are you going to the capital for? When are you leaving?"
"The capital is very different from our place!" Hu Ping's tone was excited when he mentioned the capital, and he couldn't help but tell Han Lin about his experience of going to the capital.
Strictly speaking, Huangzhuang Brigade is not far from the capital, but usually no one goes to the capital.
The reason why Hu Ping was able to go to the capital was entirely due to the big chain reaction in previous years. At that time, it was advocated to go to the capital to meet with leaders and directly report problems to them.
Hu Ping was eager to try, and in order to prevent Hu Ping from running away, the Hu family personally sent Hu Ping to the train.
During that trip to the capital, Hu Ping did not actually meet the leader, but it still left a deep impression on him.
As Hu Ping spoke, he pulled out a photo he always carried with him from his pocket. "Look, this is it! I took this photo specifically for that moment! I waited in line for a long time before it was my turn."
Anyone who was familiar with Hu Ping had heard the story of Hu Ping's trip to the capital, but he had not known Han Lin long enough before, so he had not talked about it for a while. Now he could finally tell it with satisfaction.
Han Lin was still groping for his understanding of this era. Although some of Hu Ping's descriptions seemed exaggerated to him, and some were full of nonsense, Han Lin still listened to them in great detail.
"Brother Han, aren't you going with me this time?" After talking about his trip to the capital, Hu Ping turned the topic to Han Lin.
"It takes several hours to get to the capital by train. Once we get off the train, we won't know anyone in the area..." Hu Ping noticed Han Lin's serious expression and changed the subject. "I made a few friends in the capital. I'll send them a telegram tomorrow asking them to look after my sister-in-law."
Han Lin's expression was still not good, but he had calmed down.
He really wanted to go to the capital with Yang Dai, but he didn't have a good reason.
Han Lin found an opportunity to ask the captain, hoping that the captain could give him a letter of introduction so that he could go to the capital with Yang Dai.
But as soon as the matter was mentioned tactfully, Han Lin knew there was no chance.
Although Yang Dai's second brother Yang Chengjun was finally chosen as the tractor driver for Huangzhuang Brigade, tractor drivers need to work in shifts during the busy farming season.
The team leader planned to use all five tractor trainers sent over.
After all, people need rest, but things like tractors don't.
Moreover, the team leader had already inquired from the agricultural machinery station and learned that the five people sent by the Huangzhuang Brigade had actually learned tractor driving skills quite well, but Han Lin was still better at tractor maintenance.
Although the tractor just delivered by the agricultural machinery station would not easily have problems, Han Lin stayed by the tractor and inspected it at any time, which made the team leader feel more at ease.
Han Lin hadn't explained the matter of the letter of introduction in detail yet, but the captain acted as if the team couldn't do without him, so Han Lin had no choice but to swallow the matter and not talk about it.
"This trip to the capital is said to be related to the aviation department." Han Lin knew that Hu Ping was well-informed locally and was willing to talk to Hu Ping more.
After all, it is related to the aviation department. Even though Han Lin has a lot of life experience, he really can't help Yang Dai with this.
"Aviation department? How is my sister-in-law related to the aviation department?!" Hu Ping's voice suddenly became louder. If he hadn't been concerned about the bird eggs he had just obtained with great difficulty, he would have wanted to jump up.
Han Lin briefly explained to Hu Ping, but also reiterated, "I'll let your sister-in-law tell you the details later."
"Brother Han, if you are sure it is the aviation department and not a scammer, you must seize this opportunity!"
Two years ago, the aviation department recruited a group of candidates whose salaries were much better than other positions. At that time, Hu Ping was also squeezed into the recruitment team by his father.
After just two rounds, Hu Ping was eliminated, and his father sighed for a long time.
If you have anything to do with aviation, no matter what position it is, it's definitely a good job.
"Brother Han, don't worry, you and sister-in-law. I'll go home and ask someone to find out." Even though Hu Ping's tone was restrained, he couldn't suppress his excitement.
I deeply feel that taking the initiative to make friends with Han Lin was the best move I have ever made.
Han Lin entrusted the matter to Hu Ping, and Hu Ping did not disappoint Han Lin's expectations.
In addition to finding out more about the aviation department, he also brought Han Lin other good news.
Han Lin also had the possibility of going to the capital.
