Chapter 295 Red-crowned Crane, Leopard Tracks Reappear(1/2)

"Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival, there is also the King of Medicine Association here. You can come and play next year."

On the way back, the scenery was beautiful, with wild geese flying across the sky. It felt like the young couple still had some unfinished business, so Gao Xiulan said.

"Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival, aren't these busy times?"

Chen Ling asked strangely: "Why did you choose the Medicine King Meeting to take place in these two days?"

Yaowang Hui can be simply understood as a large-scale temple fair to worship Sun Simiao.

It was very lively by then.

People from the family who are involved in collecting, growing, and selling medicines will come, and ordinary people will also come to pray for good health.

In the elderly, there are still doctors who do charity clinics and so on.

"It is said that these two days are full of yang energy, which makes it easier to cure diseases, so I chose these two days."

Gao Xiulan said, she didn't know anything else.

"That's right."

Chen Ling had heard of this King of Medicine Association before, and there were many such meetings all over the country, not just in their place.

Every place is different, and the days are different.

But this Medicine King meeting is not an important matter.

The key is that this time it came out, I really didn’t have enough fun.

Although it is said that fish were caught here, there were also harvests such as leopard skins.

But as Gao Xiulan said, Chen Ling and his wife really still have some unfinished business.

Now that we have come out, we are not in a hurry to go back. We can just go to Fenglei Town and take Wang Susu and his wife home for a visit.

Wang Susu didn't come back with me last time, so this time I just took my baby home to visit relatives and friends.

So, they stayed in Yaowang Village for another day, visited relatives and friends, had two lively meals at noon and evening, and stayed at home one night before they had enough fun.

It is a pity that I did not meet my second uncle Wang Qingzhong and his wife when they came back. They were still busy selling grain outside.

But on the third day, while driving down the mountain, I met Wei Jun and Xiang Yuhua again. Xiang Yuhua was even more enthusiastic and excited when he saw Wang Susu than when he saw Chen Ling last time.

Needless to say, the reason was that not only was Chen Ling still driving the car, he was also driving a different car this time.

The two of them almost couldn't take their eyes away and were so shocked.

Xiang Yuhua warmly pulled Wang Susu to greet her, and said she wanted to visit Wang Susu at home some time later. She was still upset that she couldn't go when the baby put out the full moon wine.

Wang Susu heard Chen Ling and her parents talk about this matter last time, and she still found it difficult to accept it.

Now that an old classmate has done this, I know how Chen Ling and the others felt last time, and it was quite annoying.

Fortunately, the weather today was not very good, and after talking for a while, it started to rain lightly.

Wang Susu was annoyed, so she took Chen Ling away on the pretext of rain.

"How is it? Mom and sister-in-law told you right last time, right? They are doing it for your own good."

On the way home, Chen Ling teased his wife.

The last matter was brought up by Gao Xiulan and Su Li, and he told Wang Susu, otherwise he and Wang Qingwen wouldn't have talked about it like that.

Wang Susu knew that he had nothing nice to say, so she rolled her eyes at him, snorted, hugged her son and turned around, ignoring him.

The rain was still falling outside the car, and the further we drove toward Chenwangzhuang, the heavier the rain became.

The mountain road is also more difficult than usual.

Normally, I would have arrived home at noon, but due to rain, I was delayed by two hours.

On such a rainy day, after returning home and having a meal, there is nothing else to do.

The family gathered together and talked about the baby's new name.

"I added the word "scape", so that's what fortune-tellers do. I've thought of this before." My father-in-law took a look at the note and said disapprovingly.

The mother-in-law glared at him: "You talk a lot, but people still figure out that you broke your leg. Can you figure out yourself that you're going to break your leg?"

Because his son's name was already called "Rui Rui", when the old fortune teller suggested changing his name, Wang Susu mentioned it to him, saying that if he could add another word, it would be best to add another word.

Don't change the word "rui".

After hearing this, the old fortune-teller wrote a word and handed it to Chen Ling to hold. Don't read it before going home.

Now that I'm home, when I take a look at it, I see that it's actually the word "jing".

"Jingrui, Chen Jingrui."

Wang Zhenzhen muttered a few words and shouted: "Ruirui changed his name to Chen Jingrui. Isn't there a mathematician with this name? I studied it in the first grade."

"What the hell? You little idiot, everything you learned was transferred to your grandma's house. I taught you this story about Chen Jingrun."

Wang Qingwen was so angry that he gave his little sister a headache, "That's Chen Jingrun, Run, not Rui. If you still make this kind of mistake in the fourth grade, if your teacher knows, he will have to punish you to write it a hundred times."

Wang Zhenzhen just covered his head, curled up his neck and laughed.

Wang Qingwen glared at her, ignored her, turned to Chen Ling and Wang Susu and said, "This name is pretty good, and it doesn't look old-fashioned at all."

The father-in-law looked at it carefully and then said: "It's really not bad. The name is a bit elegant in it. I'm afraid it's just to suppress the masculinity of Ruirui."

Chen Ling and Wang Susu nodded in agreement.

I changed the baby's name. Since I only added one word, "little baby", it is not much different from before, so it doesn't have much impact.

Gradually, everyone just felt that the new name sounded better and smoother. Like Wang Qingwen said, this name is quite suitable for this kind of little baby, and it doesn't look old-fashioned when called.

He is a teacher and talks about his students' names all day long, so his experience is naturally more profound.

So my uncle has a very strong say. If he thinks it’s good, then it’s really good, no problem.



"Good guys, didn't you go out this time to burn incense? Why did you bring back two leopard skins?"

Wang Cunye was surprised when he saw Chen Ling packing up the things in the car.

"I bought it from a medicine farmer, in the mountains over Halongkou..."

Chen Ling explained it carefully to his father-in-law, and the old man became even more surprised.

"There are still herb collectors over there. In our eight villages, there are very few real herb collectors. They only grow tea and raise snakes."

The herb collection that the old man talks about is naturally the kind of herb collection that involves flying over a cliff.

Generally, collecting medicinal herbs is very sparse and common. You can collect it by going up the mountain or in the wild. It is not worthy of praise.

It doesn't resonate with him either.

"Yes, we saw them flying around on ropes hanging from the top of the mountain from a distance on the commercial road."

Chen Ling said: "Originally we didn't think of looking for them specifically, but after burning incense and fishing for fish, we happened to meet them coming down the mountain to dry the medicine. It was just a coincidence."

Then he told the story of how he met Lao Xing and others.

I also took out the things Lao Xing gave me.

A bottle of honey, half a bag of pine cones, and some wild fruits from the mountains, jujubes and schisandra chinensis. They were all delicious.

They are also found in the mountains here, but in the depths, you have to go further.

"There is also such a big pine cone. It's no wonder. He is really a medicine shop."

As soon as Wang Cunye saw the pine cone, he immediately believed it. This thing can't deceive anyone. No one pays to collect pine cones nowadays. Mountain people will not risk going to the top of the mountain just for the pine cone. They must be there to collect medicine.

"It's a medicine shop. We also met golden monkeys. They came down from the top of the mountain to find Aling..." Wang Susu told the story with her eyebrows dancing.

"Your trip was not in vain. Your sister-in-law and I felt very itchy after hearing this." Wang Qingwen said cheerfully.

"Then let's go together next year to catch up with the Medicine King Meeting."

Chen Ling didn't have anything to say, just go. In his eyes, the most important thing was his family and friends. Nothing else mattered. If something happened, he could put it aside.

"Okay, okay, let's have the Medicine King Meeting next year."

"One of the Dragon Boat Festival and the Double Ninth Festival can catch up, hahaha."

While talking and laughing, Chen Ling opened the buckwheat honey and let them taste it. This strange honey with a smell of foot odor made people frown and laugh in surprise. The whole family sat together and there was a lot of excitement.



It rained all day and all night.

Fortunately, the next two days will be sunny, and the autumn harvest will soon follow.

During the autumn harvest, every household is busy without touching the ground, but it only lasts about ten days.

After harvesting crops such as peanuts, corns and soybeans, the crop poles will be released and wheat will be planted. Farmers will usher in a long period of slack.

The village has been busy these days. Only Chen Ling helped a few people break the grain and then had nothing else to do.

Every day I would either wander around with my cows and sheep, or wander around on the field ridge with my two dogs.

If anyone was breaking corn or chopping corn stalks at home, he would stroll over with his dog.
