Chapter 1722 Ginseng and School

The fog in the mountain forest is always very heavy. It was not until this time that the visibility in the forest became a little higher. However, trying to find a medicinal herb in this forest full of vegetation and weeds is obviously no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Wang Shu also showed Tie Rui the appearance of the medicinal herb he was looking for. Tie Rui looked at the appearance of the medicinal herb, thought about it for a while, and scanned the area with his consciousness, and finally found what Wang Shu wanted to do in the pine forest in the distance. Wanted herbs.

After leading Wang Shu on a long detour for a day, Wang Shu finally found the century-old ginseng that he had longed for while hunting rabbits for lunch.

Wang Shu was seen kneeling on the ground, carefully picking up the weeds near the ginseng one by one, then taking out a small brush only half the size of a palm, and brushing out the ginseng completely bit by bit.

The roots of ginseng were winding and complex, but Wang Shu, a tall and thick man, was not impatient at all. He knelt there for half an hour before digging out the entire ginseng.

Holding the human-shaped ginseng, Wang Shu's whole hand was shaking.

During the whole process, Tie Rui stood aside and watched him quietly. Then he watched Wang Shu put layers of grass and soil into his basket, carefully put the ginseng in, and then added Cover it with soil, for fear that the thing will run away when it catches the wind.

After putting away the ginseng, Wang Shu sat on the ground holding his basket, almost crying with excitement.

Tie Rui doesn't quite understand what this ginseng means to him, but he can feel that this ginseng should be very important to him. Maybe someone in the family needs to use it for medicine, or to sell it for money to maintain the family's livelihood, etc. , are possible.

But in the end Wang Shu still didn't cry.

Wang Shu here took a deep breath, stood up with energy, put the basket on his back again, and prepared to call Tie Rui down the mountain with relief.

But Tie Rui raised his hand and pointed,

"There seem to be two old ginseng trees over there, but judging from the age, they don't seem to be as big as the one you just discovered, Brother Wang."

When Wang Shu heard this, his eyes turned red with excitement. He followed Tie Rui's gaze and found two dots of red among the thousands of greens.

“Okay, okay!

Now you can keep a ginseng plant as a family heirloom! "

Wang Shu was so excited that he almost jumped up.

After Wang Shu finished digging the other two ginseng plants, it was already dark.

In the light of the fire, Wang Shu held his basket and touched it like a treasure for a long time before talking about why he went up the mountain to look for ginseng.

"The people living in our Donghe Village are people who are not welcomed by the Immortal family. Although our children also have the opportunity to go to the Immortal to test and become disciples, these are the only opportunities those people give us;

What kind of protection from immortals, gold, silver and treasures are not shared by those of us with foreign surnames.

Donghe Village is also a big village, with nearly a thousand households, but there is not even a school.

It doesn't matter to us adults, but it doesn't matter to the children. There are many people who can't even read until they are teenagers. The adults are busy throwing food in the soil, even the rich families with a little money at home. There are few literate people, which has been delaying the children.

Before his death, my father had always wanted to build a school in the village, especially since he heard that the immortals also preferred children who were literate. Unfortunately, it was not easy to build a school, and it was even harder to hire a reliable teacher. "

Wang Shu said, his voice low and choked.

Tie Rui listened quietly. From a profit perspective, he could understand.

I think it's because Donghe Village is full of people with foreign surnames, and the local cultivating families didn't take them into consideration when formulating policies regarding mortals, etc., and those mortals with status don't want these outsiders to share their interests, so this happened. situation.

“Half a year ago, the school was finally completed;

The village began to look for a teacher, but Donghe Village was located in a remote location, and none of the teachers in the city were willing to come. Only one Master Li offered terms. In addition to hiring him, the money would provide him with shelter, food and clothing, and he also wanted a century-old ginseng tree. , to treat his daughter who was born with a disease. "

Having said this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the basket again, as if he could feel the ginseng inside through the basket.

"But the value of century-old ginseng is so high that even if I sell the entire Hedong Village, I can't buy it. I have no choice but to come to the mountains to try my luck."

Tie Rui was a little surprised when he heard this.

“So that’s how it is.

Brother Wang considers the future of the entire village and is a righteous person. "

Wang Shu shook his head and sighed again,

"What's right and wrong, I'm a rough person and can't think about that much.

I won’t hide it from my brother. In fact, I have gone up the mountain at least ten times in the past six months, but every time I came back without success. I thought I would never be able to open a school in this life, but I didn’t expect that there is no perfect way. !

I originally thought I was dead this time, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you, Brother Tie. Not only did you save your life, but you also found this century-old ginseng;

Really, I was not as happy as I am today on the day I got married. "

Tie Rui almost laughed out loud.

Here Wang Shu kept talking for a long time. It was probably that the pressure he had endured for many years finally had an outlet. When Wang Shu came down the mountain the next day, he was in high spirits and walked quickly.

As he walked down, he told Tie Rui to see with his own eyes the day when the school started.

Tie Rui did not refuse.

After walking for three days, the two finally saw Donghe Village from a distance.

Wang Shu was full of excitement, but Tie Rui was sighing. This mortal's footwork was really slow; but then he thought, although it was not a problem for a cultivator to travel a thousand miles a day, the world was so big that there were many places that required a cultivator to travel for several years to reach.

It was just that the size of the world in each other's eyes was different.

It was about three miles away from Donghe Village, and Tie Rui saw a few children playing with mud on the mud road.

It was spring now, and it rained a lot at the foot of the mountain. Just a misty spring rain could make the dirt road muddy, attracting idle children to play.

But the children were so engrossed in playing that Tie Rui and Wang Shu walked only fifty meters behind them, and the children did not notice their arrival.

But Wang Shu's eyes lit up when he looked at the kids, and he shouted with full energy:

"Tiedan!"

A child with a red face and a little snot raised his head when he heard the voice, looked around but couldn't find the source of the voice, then turned around and looked back. When he saw Wang Shu, his eyes lit up, he threw away the mud in his hands, ran over like the wind, jumped into Wang Shu's open arms.

"Dad!

You're finally back!

Mom said if you don't come back she'll find me a new dad!"

Wang Shu paused while wiping Tiedan's nose and smiled awkwardly,

"It's Dad's fault. I've been away for too long this time;

What else did your mom say?"

Tiedan continued to chatter:

"Mom also said that we should find a handsome new dad, and it's best to find a teacher. A teacher can earn money, teach me to read, and earn money for grandma's medicine, and we don't have to worry about him dying in the mountains.

But Dad, there's no one in our village who's both handsome and a good teacher!

Where can mom find a new dad?"
