Be careful

Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue went to school, and Principal Wei had already prepared breakfast.

They were a little surprised to see that the amount of breakfast was half that of the previous day.

"Did we eat too much yesterday and not enough today?" Meng Yue joked.

Principal Wei smiled: "No way, it's not a time of famine, no matter how much there is a shortage, there will be no shortage of meals for the children. It's because there are fewer students coming to school today."

"Why?" Zhong Xinyang was puzzled.

"Because of the rain, some children don't come when it rains." Principal Wei explained.

"Really, so casual?" Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue sighed at the same time.

Principal Wei greeted the teachers to help serve the meal, and explained to the two with a smile: "Really, but it is not casual at all. The geological structure here is unstable, and landslides often destroy roads in rainy seasons. Children have to walk several kilometers to go to school. It’s a shortcut again, those mountain roads are very dangerous. So we are not allowed to go out when the weather is bad.”

Meng Yue looked outside the door and smiled: "I'm afraid it will rain all day."

Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue were joking at the beginning, such as "It's so nice here, I really hope it rains every day, if it rains, I don't have to go to school", as they talked, the two fell silent.

At the door of the kitchen, a few children who came to fetch eggs looked at them with big black eyes blinking.

"Teacher, but we want to go to school."

The childish voices of the children echoed in the ears of Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue.They feel ashamed.They live in the city all the year round, being pressured by work and life, they always want to sneak in.Unexpectedly, a joke made the children sad.

"I'm sorry," Meng Yue said, "We were just joking, of course it doesn't rain every day."

"Let's go, children, go eat eggs," Principal Wei took the children to the classroom to distribute eggs, and turned to Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue helplessly, "They won't be angry with you."

The rain started pattering down again.

The children followed Principal Wei away, and the wall behind the ping-pong table in the misty drizzle did not arouse their attention.

Breakfast on this day was eaten in the classroom, and half of the children in each class did not arrive.

Principal Wei counted the number of students and called the students' homes one by one to confirm.

The planned home visit filming was also suspended.

The air is humid and noisy, and the sound of reading is much quieter in comparison.

On the other side, Pu Li and the others had already set off on the road for an hour, but they were still walking through the mountains. After the gravel road was replaced by asphalt road, he took out his mobile phone and tried to call Mu Chi.However, Mu Chi's cell phone seems to be turned off, and has not been connected.

He didn't know why, but he didn't talk to Mu Chi twice in a row, and Pu Li felt uncomfortable all over.He misses his Brother Xiaochi very much.That person's heartbeat was strong and vigorous, and his chest was always warm.

He wanted to lean against Mu Chi, looking for some warmth in the cold air.

The planning teacher looked at the weather forecast for the next few days, then looked at the shooting plan, and sighed again and again.

"That's not what the weather forecast was for when we came," he said.

"This year's rainy season seems to have come earlier suddenly," said cameraman Heizi.

The agricultural vehicle in front stopped, and the vehicle behind also pulled over.

Tian Ye got out of the car and went to the back to check. There was a little rain in the place where the medicinal materials were not covered.

"Oh, it won't be good if it gets wet." Tian Ye muttered.

Dazhang jumped out of the car and gave the machine to his colleague: "You all go to the car, I will drive this car."

"How about that?"

"Can you drive?"

Da Zhang glanced at the crowd, pushed Tian Ye, and flicked him on the head: "My elder brother also drove this kind of car around when he was ten years old."

Now everyone got into the car behind, and Dazhang followed behind in a farm vehicle alone.

Populus looked back, looked at Da Zhang in the drizzle, and laughed.

"Brother Zhang likes this place very much." Pu Li said.

Heizi smiled, and took out a soft cloth to wipe the rain on the camera: "Da Zhang's hometown is near here."

"No wonder he insisted on coming for this mission." The planning teacher smiled, "Give him a day off if you have time, and go back to visit relatives."

"Why are you visiting relatives?" Heizi's expression darkened and he shook his head again and again, "I heard from him that when he was in high school, there was a mudslide at home, and his house, livestock, and people were all gone."

There was silence in the car.

Then, Tian Ye said, "That should be Beicun. There was an accident in our place more than ten years ago, and many people died. Alas, this place."

The carriage fell silent again, Fei Yiming asked the driver to stop the car, and rushed out to replace Da Zhang.

Populus also wanted to help, but he was not sure if he could drive that, so he stayed in the car obediently.

In the hazy drizzle, there were more people, and the colors became rich and colorful.It seems to be in the center of town.

Here every month, there is a market every 2, 5, and 8.The town's main road is full of villagers from several nearby villages.

Agricultural vehicles, motorcycles, shelf carts, and even bicycles with chicken coops.

The driver asked Tian Ye: "Which one is the collection of medicinal materials?"

Tian Ye pointed to the road and asked him to drive to the deepest point.

The car turned a corner, stopped, and got out of the car with two people carrying cameras.The villagers who came to the market were curious and looked around.

Tian Ye walked back to his agricultural vehicle, but he didn't dare to take off the rain cloth because it was still raining. He just took out the words "medicine materials for sale" written on the cardboard in crooked fonts the night before and hung it on the vehicle.

On the other side, the rain in the mountains was getting heavier and heavier. Principal Wei listened to the radio and predicted that there would be a heavier rain in the afternoon. After lunch, he asked the school to dismiss early.

Zhong Xinyang and Meng Yue were doing odd jobs in the school, doing almost nothing all morning.

The members of the planning team who stayed behind suggested: "The filming still needs to be carried out, why don't you just take a stroll in this village."

The two of them followed the camera to the street.

Raindrops fell on the bluestone slabs along the eaves, and the muddy water made the children's worn-out sneakers muddy.Zhong Xinyang was glad that he had brought two more pairs of shoes, but at the same time felt sorry for such good shoes, which must have been easily spoiled here.

The original home visit became a visit to the villagers. After obtaining the permission of Wei Zhishu, they went to the homes of the villagers, hoping to take the opportunity to take pictures of folk customs and so on.

In the afternoon, they learned how to weave bamboo baskets from the old grandmother in the village, and visited an old silversmith's home to see his works...

After noon, the market in the town became less and less crowded.

Poplar and Fei Yiming followed the field to sell in the drizzle, no matter how hard they tried, no one came to them.

I don't know if it's because of the camera.

The clouds in the sky were thick and dense, and the planning teacher asked Tian Ye: "Is it because we are here that others dare not come to ask the price?"

Tian Ye was also not sure, his client might not have come.Sometimes this is the case. There is a relatively stable supply and demand chain between villagers and purchasers, but it is not fixed. Any small change will make this trip in vain.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were more than half of the people in the market, and all the empty cars turned the agricultural products into money and drove back.Tian Ye leaned against the car in frustration, and the sign with "medicine materials for sale" in his hand had become blurred.

"I just read the weather forecast and it said that there will be heavy rain in the afternoon," Da Zhang walked over and said to Tian Ye, "If you can't, go back early, safety is more important."

"No, grandma is still waiting for money to see a doctor." Tian Ye has his stubbornness and stubbornness.

He regretted bringing these city people here a bit. If he brought the third grandpa, he might not be able to help him find some connections in the market.

Tian Ye and Da Zhang talked in their native dialect, but Pu Li and Fei Yiming couldn't quite understand them, but they could guess the whole thing.

Populus called Fei Yiming to his side, and said to him, "Do you know any drug dealers?"

Fei Yiming shook his head repeatedly: "Where do I go to meet people who buy and sell medicinal materials? If you ask me if I know any actor or director, it's almost the same."

Populus dragged Fei Yiming to wander around the market, wanting to see if there was any opportunity to sell the medicinal materials, and it was not enough to just stand there and wait.

Fei Yiming saw a small supermarket and wanted to go in and buy a bottle of water.

Populus was standing at the door of the shop waiting for him, and a man in a flowery shirt with a big arm and a round waist came.

The man's hair was wet on his forehead, his leather bag was tucked under his arm, and he wore a huge gold ring on his finger.

That ring reminded Pu Li of Zheng Yidao.

In City X, men who do business seem to like to wear a gold ring like this.

Sure enough, the man stepped up the steps, stood on the same floor as Pu Li to hide from the rain, and took out his mobile phone to complain in Hokkien.

Populus laughed when he heard that.

Fei Yiming came out of the supermarket, pulled Populus to continue shopping, but Populus didn't leave.

He stood not far from the man in the floral shirt, waited quietly and patiently for the other party to hang up the phone, and then went up and asked, "Uncle, are you here to buy medicinal materials?"

The man was surprised when he heard that Populus oak could speak his native dialect, and then complained: "It is said that the quality of wild medicinal materials here is the best, and it is such a weather!"

"What medicine does Uncle want?"

"I want everything, little brother, do you have something to sell?"

Populus nodded again and again, and the man in the floral shirt went to the car in the field.

Tian Ye squatted on the ground, picked up a wooden stick from nowhere and scribbled in the mud.

Poplar woke him up, he didn't understand the matter of medicinal materials, and Tian Ye had to explain it himself.

Tian Ye saw that Populus came back with the purchaser, he was a little nervous, he threw away the wooden stick and rubbed his hands repeatedly, unable to hold back a word for a long time, he turned around and took out a bundle of crudely processed medicinal materials from the car.

Tian Ye's family doesn't have much land, and his parents are in poor health, so he can't take care of the crops that require manpower to take care of.So he followed the third grandfather to plant these.

Almost wild, it requires little care other than drying in the shade and is easy to process.

The purchaser saw the quality of the medicinal materials, broke off a small root, chewed it carefully in his mouth, and then went to lift the curtain.

Under the curtain was everything he wanted.His face became rosy and shiny at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Little brother, make an offer!" The man in the floral shirt spat out the residue in his mouth and laughed.

The purchaser invited them to a small hotel next to the farmer's market to discuss business, and Da Zhang followed with a camera on his shoulder.

The man in the floral shirt was taken aback: "Why are you still taking pictures, bodyguards?"

Only then did Pu Li roughly explain to the purchaser the ins and outs of why he came to participate in the show.

The man listened and nodded again and again: "Then I have done something good invisibly?"

He laughed and waved his business card to the camera: "Then you guys take more pictures of me, and help my company to do some publicity by the way..."
