Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

After Lin Shu fed the two children, Wang Suzhen and Liu Xiao'e took them to play in the yard outside. Only then did she have time to change her clothes and prepare the tools for going out.

The children wanted to go up the mountain after they were one month old, but Gu Jiu stopped them with the excuse that the children were too young, so they were never able to go up the mountain.

Now the children are almost three months old and the weather is getting cooler. If you go up the mountain at this time, you can harvest a lot of herbs on the mountain. Lin Shu couldn't hold it in any longer and insisted on going up the mountain several times.

The water bottle, dry food and tools needed to go up the mountain were all tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and I pushed the bicycle out in the early morning mist.

Today is the weekend, and many people may still be sleeping in their warm beds, but Lin Shu has already ridden his bicycle out of the compound and is preparing to go up the mountain.

She is not very familiar with this area, and today's destination is the mountains she visited last time.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the bicycle could not go in, so Lin Shu put the bicycle into the storage compartment of the system. He tied the cuffs of his clothes and pants tightly, put on gloves and took a sickle to go up the mountain.

When going up the mountain, you must roll up your sleeves and trouser legs to avoid leeches and other insects, put your hair up, and wear a hat.

The purpose of holding a sickle is to cut the thorns that block the way along the way. Of course, if the vegetation on the hillside is not very lush, the sickle is generally not used.

When entering the mountain, there are narrow paths at the beginning, which makes it easier to walk. Breathing the fresh air in the morning, I am interested in observing the surrounding scenery. When I come across some herbs, I just touch them lightly and put them into the system.

[System, is this considered a canyon? There are two branches ahead. Please scan and see which side has more medicinal herbs or is more precious. Which path should we take? ]

Lin Shu kept collecting herbs. Two branches appeared in front of him. Due to limited time, he chose one of them to collect herbs today.

[Host, walk to the small canyon on the left. There are several Sophora flavescens, one of the five famous ginsengs, in front of you. People often use Coptis chinensis to describe a bitter life, but in fact Sophora flavescens is even more bitter than Coptis chinensis.]

[Really?] Lin Shu gently touched the leaves of the Sophora flavescens, and instantly the rhizome of the Sophora flavescens entered the system. She took it out of the system and smelled it.

[It smells very bitter. If you hadn't told me, I might have tried it. Now that I know it's very bitter, I don't dare to taste it anymore.]

[Host, when you go to the mountains to dig herbs, don't try them lightly. Learn about the 18 anti-reactions of traditional Chinese medicine. All ginseng, pungent peony and Veratrum can't be used together.]

[Thanks for reminding me. I knew nothing about herbs before I met you. Now that you are around to teach me about herbs, I have been able to force myself to learn some knowledge about herbs. System, remind me more next time, don't let it sit in my head without saying anything.]

Lin Shu collected a few sophora flavescens and found that there were many radix scutellariae, also known as chicken leg grass, next to them. The system charged three cents per plant. The rhizomes can be eaten directly after washing, or the skin of the rhizomes can be peeled and eaten directly. It tastes sweet and has a good taste.

Chicken leg grass.

[Host, I just mentioned Asarum. Five meters ahead, there are a lot of Asarum on the slope.]

Lin Shu followed the system's instructions and saw that there were a lot of plants growing on the slope next to him. Each plant had a few leaves, and the leaves were heart-shaped. They would be beautiful as potted plants.

Lin Shu asked the system to collect all of them and took out one to look at. Asarum has many slender rhizomes, which have the effect of repelling insects.

The famous Xiaoqinglong Decoction uses asarum.

But be careful when using asarum in daily life, as its stems and leaves are poisonous.

There are really a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests at this time of year.

Along the way, she would collect Lin Shu, whom she knew, into the system after just a brief contact, and the system would remind her if she didn't know him.

It can be said that if one goes up the mountain alone, he does not have to hide from others and can collect herbs without any scruples, and the harvest is often more than if two people go up the mountain together.

There are no weeds in the mountains, and knowledge is a treasure.

Lin Shu discovered a lot of golden vines along the way and collected quite a few of them. Then he saw a very conspicuous plant in front of him. It had four large leaves and a large patch.

She walked closer and looked carefully. There were so many serrations on the edges of the leaves, and there were two flower stalks at the top of the leaves.

[System, what kind of plant is this? ]

[Replying to the host, this plant has a very nice and domineering name, called the Four Heavenly Kings, also known as the Four Tiles. It has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and the whole plant can be used as medicine. ]

Wow, it turns out there are no weeds in the mountains. It all depends on whether you know it or not.

Received.

Lin Shu saw a half-dead tree stump in front of him, with a lot of plants growing on it.

With just one glance, Lin Shu felt that this plant growing on the dead tree stump was unusual.

You have your own encyclopedia with you. Just ask and you will know.

[System, what kind of plant is this? ]

[This is a plant that likes to parasitize on dead tree stumps or stone cliffs. It is called Papyrus. It is a plant of the genus Papyrus in the family Polypodiaceae. Papyrus has the effects of dispelling wind and phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and cooling blood and removing blood stasis. ]

Lin Shu was delighted. This was a herb that he had never collected before. [Since it was a medicinal herb, he collected it.]

[Host, be careful. There are three wild boars foraging one hundred meters ahead. They are coming this way.]

When Lin Shu heard the wild boar's words, his heart tightened. His forehead felt like there was a red alarm bell hanging on it, and his whole body tensed up.

She looked left and right at the slopes on both sides. They were quite steep, but she could still climb up with some effort.

[Can you handle the wild boar? Or you can take it? ]

System: […This system is a herb collection system, not animals!]

[Damn! What's the point of having you! ]

Lin Shu didn't care about anything else. Holding the sickle in one hand, he rushed up a gentle slope.

If the ground is slippery, I would stick the sickle into the ground, and I could use it to get some leverage, so I could grab the plants nearby. I would not let go of any plants that I could get leverage on.

After finally climbing up the slope, I could already hear the grunting of wild boars. I stretched my neck to look down into the canyon ahead and saw three dark wild boars, one big and two small, coming towards us as if they were taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.

She can't afford to offend this ugly thing, but she can afford to avoid it.

The best thing to do is to run away before it notices her.

At the same time, in the mountains thousands of miles away, Lin Mei was also shuttling through the forests.

She was abducted into the mountains, and this was her first chance to escape.

In order to escape as far away as possible before being discovered by the Black-Faced Brothers.

Her hair and clothes were shattered by the branches and thorns, and she felt like the air in her lungs was being sucked out, and she couldn't breathe. She sat down and took a deep breath, but it felt like her lungs were going to explode.

I climbed the mountain so fast that even breathing was painful.

Lin Mei is a woman who grew up in the countryside. However, the geographical location of the Xiaohe Production Team is relatively flat, and the mountains are not too high, at most a few hundred meters above sea level. It is completely different from the mountains that are thousands or thousands of meters high.

The altitude is so high that walking fast on the rugged mountain road is almost fatal.

I couldn't breathe and I was retching.

Unlike her who was in a hurry to escape, the two black-faced brothers were not in a hurry when they found out that Lin Mei had escaped.

Instead, they rushed to two important intersections in the mountains and waited in the dark. If Lin Mei wanted to go down the mountain, she had to pass through this intersection. They didn't have to do anything, just hide here and wait.

Therefore, it is very difficult, almost impossible, for a woman who hides in the mountains to escape.

The black-faced brother thought that if Lin Mei escaped a few more times, she would be caught every time. She would know that she could not escape, so she would not think about escaping in the future.

After Lin Mei climbed over two mountains, she saw a path leading down the mountain. She was overjoyed and thought she had escaped from the clutches of the devil.

As a result, he tripped without paying attention and rolled down the mountain.

......

Because he had children at home, Lin Shu didn't dare to stay on the mountain for too long. He started to go down the mountain at around two o'clock, and it was already four o'clock when he got home.

Walking into the yard, the house was quite quiet.

I parked my bike and put my tools and other things in the utility room. I walked into the house, but there was no one in the living room on the first floor.

I looked into the guest room and saw that Liu Xiao'e and her two children were asleep.

Lin Shu didn't dare to wake them up, so he tiptoed out of the room and went upstairs to wash up.

When going up the mountain, you have to wash your whole body before you dare to hold your child. Otherwise, if some poisonous juice or leaves get on the child, it will be the child who suffers and the parents who are tortured.

After taking a shower, drying his hair and resting against the head of the bed, Lin Shu finally had the opportunity to check his harvest.

She has 5 points, and because she has withdrawn some of them, she still has 9 yuan left. She is only points away from having points in her system.

There is still ten thousand away from one hundred thousand. After running up the mountain four or five more times, it should be almost one hundred thousand and ready for upgrading.

"Wow..."

They hadn't rested for ten minutes when they heard Erbao's terrifying howl from downstairs.

This is because I am hungry.

Lin Shu was just about to change clothes and go downstairs when Gu Jiu carried Erbao into the bedroom.

"When did you come back?" Gu Jiu carried Erbao upstairs to help her make milk powder. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he encountered such a...sexy scene.

Lin Shu slowly put on the pajamas he had just taken off, "Why didn't you knock when you came in?"

Gu Jiu swallowed his saliva. As a man who had been single for almost a year, he felt his blood boiling when he saw this scene. What should he do?

"I didn't know you were back. I just got home and my baby woke up, so I went upstairs to make some milk powder for her..."

Lin Shu buttoned up his clothes and took Erbao from his arms, "Let me do it."

As soon as the second baby was brought to her arms, he instinctively rubbed against her chest and cried out in anxiety, which showed that he had been craving for this thing for a long time.

Lin Shu patted Erbao's little butt and said, "Don't worry, there will be food soon."

Lin Shu ignored Gu Jiu's burning gaze and continued feeding as usual. When he had time, he asked, "Is Dabao still not awake?"

"......not yet."

Gu Jiu did not leave either. He sat aside and listened to his daughter gulping down milk. "My mother said that after you left, she refused to eat the milk powder. She would look for you when it was time to feed. She would cry after every few sips of milk. Her aggrieved look really distressed the two old ladies."

"She will get used to it slowly. Let her try the milk powder now. I believe it will be much easier to wean her off the milk later."

Lin Shu felt distressed after hearing this, but he just wanted to take the child and mother away for a while, as this was unavoidable.

Gu Jiu asked tentatively: "A baby can't live without its mother, why don't we not go up the mountain anymore and wait until the baby grows up?"

Lin Shu glared at him and said, "I wish I could hang the bottle on you and let your daughter hang on you all day long, so that you can feel how tiring it is to take care of a child."

She has been stuck at home for more than two months, almost three months, and she has an objection to going out for a day of fresh air?

"I..." Gu Jiu looked down at his chest, then at Lin Shu's. He could say that he also wanted to tie his daughter to his body and never leave her side, but it was obviously impossible because he didn't have the conditions to do so.

Lin Shu fed her daughter and was too lazy to pay attention to him. She lay on the bed with her daughter and closed her eyes to rest.

Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu, who had his back to her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

Lin Shu ignored him.

Gu Jiu tried to explain: "I just feel sorry for my daughter..."

Lin Shu's eyes widened, and he immediately changed his words, "I feel sorry for you too. Taking care of a child is hard enough, and you're suffering double the pain. Double the pain is hard enough, and you still have to go hiking, which is adding to the pain. I'm afraid you'll be exhausted."

Lin Shu snorted and still ignored him.

Gu Jiu stood up and came over, leaning over to Lin Shu's ear and asked with a grin, "Since you've been working so hard, how about I give you a massage?"

As he said that, he began to press on her back and waist.

"Snapped!"

Lin Shu turned around and sat up, slapped his hand away, and glared at him, "Be honest, I'm tired after a day, and now I just want to have a good rest. If you are really bored, why don't you go downstairs and look after Dabao."

Gu Jiu chuckled at her and sat up straight, "I have something to tell you."

Lin Shu frowned slightly, and seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he asked, "What is it?"

"Didn't you suggest making a dried fruit gift box last time? The company plans to make a batch by the end of the year. Chen Fei plans to go to Guangdong Province, and I plan to go to the north."

Although the two of them stayed together every day, and sometimes when she was upset, she looked at him a little annoyed. But when he really had to leave for a while, Lin Shu couldn't bear to let him go.

"Then how long are you going?"

Gu Jiu hesitated for a while and said, "At the fastest, it will take half a month, and at the slowest, it will take about a month."

"so long?"

"Can't bear to leave me?"

Gu Jiu stepped forward and hugged Lin Shu, resting his forehead against hers, "How about I let the others go and I stay with you? To be honest, I'm more reluctant to leave you and the children than you are."

Lin Shu's mouth curled up slightly after hearing this. "That won't do. A man should have great ambitions. How can he be hindered by love affairs?"

"I think you are joking with me when you say this. Don't take it seriously." Gu Jiu kissed her on the lips. "I don't have any big ambitions. I just want a wife and children, a warm bed, and enough money in this life."

Lin Shu pushed him away and said, "If you don't work hard now, then Dabao and Erbao will have to work hard in the future. Let me ask you, would you rather work hard yourself or let your son and daughter work hard?"

Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, probably because he had never thought about this problem before, thinking that his son and daughter would have to bow to others in order to make a living in the future.

He hesitated for only two seconds, "Forget it, let me work hard. I feel bad when I think about how they have to go out early and come back late just to have three meals a day."

Lin Shu held his face and pecked him on the mouth. "We feel sorry for you when you are away from home. Bring some thick clothes with you when you go to the north this time. Keep warm and take care of yourself. We will wait for you to come back home."

The dividends of the times have a time limit, so how could Lin Shu allow him to slack off?

In career, a man must be fully motivated, work hard in the workplace with full energy, and provide a good home for his wife and children.

Of course, Lin Shu himself will not lag behind and will try his best to keep up with his pace.
