Between mountains and seas

Of course, Yuan Fei didn't mean to avoid disaster at all. In fact, he got on the train leisurely, got off the train happily, and then changed to a long-distance bus, arriving at his destination like a tourist.

A commercial vehicle was parked by the side of the road. Yuan Fei walked over carelessly, opened the door and sat in: "I've been waiting for a long time." Although the words were polite, the tone was casual and without any sincerity.

But the driver didn't care about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I haven't waited long. This is the bad thing about long-distance buses. They are often late. Are you tired?"

"An anchor broke down on the road." Yuan Fei explained casually, "It's okay. It's just that the road here is a bit difficult."

"We're going into the mountains ahead, and the road is a bit more difficult." The driver signaled, "This car is a bit more spacious. If you're tired, take a rest. There's game ready at the plantation. Didn't you say that last time?" Is the golden pheasant taste good? This time, I specially asked someone to beat 5 of them. There are also wild boars, all prepared."

"It doesn't need that much." Yuan Fei said casually, "The wild red-bellied golden pheasant is considered a second-class national protected animal after all, just taste it."

"Cough, what's that?" The driver waved his hand with a smile, "Some of these things are raised, and even if the wild ones are eaten up, so what, put some farmed ones, and they will become wild again in a few years." He said Here he quickly added, "But the ones given to you are absolutely authentic wild ones! Find someone to fight them yourself."

"Then thank you for your trouble." Yuan Fei said casually, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and asked tentatively, "Why did you come here so soon this year? Are you going to make another trip at the end of the year?" It's not yet the time to pay the bill every year.

Yuan Fei chuckled: "You really don't know?"

"How can I know anything?" The driver grinned and observed his expression from the rearview mirror from time to time. "If there is anything wrong, can you tell us?"

Yuan Fei laughed again: "Since you don't know, then I think the medicine sold outside must be fake, and we, Section Chief Qi, can check it out with confidence."

He only said the word "medicine" without specifying what it was, but the driver's face immediately changed.Yuan Fei squinted his eyes and saw the expression in his eyes: "Speaking of which, you should also do something, this is an imitation of your medicine, and people died after taking it. If outsiders don't know, they think your medicine is also It’s not safe, so what should I do if I dare not buy it?”

The driver's face became even more ugly, and he laughed dryly after a long time: "Look, how can this eat dead people? We have strict regulations. One person can take no more than three pills within a year. This has been tested, and according to Taking this amount will definitely not kill people. Then some people just don’t listen—you can’t blame the medicine if you increase the amount and die, right?”

Yuan Fei's eyes opened suddenly: "So, it's the medicine you gave?"

The driver laughed dryly again: "Then what, Brother Yuan, I heard that your daughter has gone to Germany to study?"

"The news is quite well-informed..." Yuan Fei had a half-smile.

"In fact, our Boss Chen said earlier that it's a pity that the girl is so good at studying, so she doesn't go abroad. Even if you are only such a girl by your side, Boss Chen reckoned that you probably wouldn't want your child to go out, so he didn't say anything." Buhong said without panting, "I just heard that the child has gone abroad a few days ago. This is a great thing! After studying for a few years, if someone stays abroad in the future, he can also take you, Brother Yuan. "

Brother Yuan smiled, but didn't speak.The driver glanced at his expression, and continued: "I heard that the tuition and living expenses are quite high for studying abroad. Brother Yuan, do you have enough money? In the past, it was fine to study in China, after all, it is close to home. Now going abroad is far away. Yes. As the old saying goes, poor families get rich, and this child must have money on hand, otherwise, if something happens, we are far away, and it will take some time to send money..."

He babbled, and glanced at Yuan Fei from time to time.Everyone knew that Yuan Fei took his daughter as his life and wished he could be raised as a princess, but it was a pity that he had no money at hand.They also discussed secretly before, secretly laughing that he didn't have the life of that princess, so don't make your daughter into a princess disease.

But now, it's a good thing.

Yuan Fei closed his eyes again, but did not speak immediately.Qi Tongmin helped Yuan Yan go abroad, but the money in his hands was enough for Yuan Yan to study in Germany for a few years, and she might have to work for it.

Furthermore, if Yuan Yan can really stay in Germany in the future, then he will definitely follow suit. At that time, living expenses and pension expenses will be a sum, even if the house in China is sold, it may not necessarily be enough.What's more, is it possible to let my daughter go abroad to live a tight life?

Yuan Fei was thinking in his heart, without showing any expression on his face: "Tell me about your medicine, what's going on?"

The driver breathed a sigh of relief.He had been told by his superiors before coming here, and with the years of dealing with him, he also knew a little about Yuan Fei.Don't look at him not letting go right now, but the more you look around and talk about him, the more it shows that he is already moved.

"Well, it was purely an accident." Of course he couldn't tell the whole story right away, "This year, the crack has somehow expanded a little bit, and the grass planted next to the crack is a bit... Actually, it can be used, but it's a side effect. It’s a bit big. But as long as you don’t overdo it, the effect will actually be faster.”

"Chief Qi said, what kind of Xuncao can be used as medicine?"

"Brother Yuan——" the driver suddenly grimaced, "Section Chief Qi is of course acting cautiously, but he hasn't come to the plantation for several years. You come every year, and you know the situation best. plant."

Of course Yuan Fei knew that Xuncao was difficult to grow.Even in the world of mountains and seas, xuncao only grows in Qingyao Mountain, let alone planted in the real world.The few xuncao plants they brought out at the beginning still managed to survive with the soil from Qingyao Mountain to protect their roots.For so many years, the scale of planting has not been able to expand, and the output has always been limited.Fortunately, only by taking the high-end route can we make money.

"Brother Yuan——" the driver continued to complain, "It is said that it is taking the high-end route, but the output cannot increase, and the money cannot be earned. Yes, the income is quite a lot, but we still have costs! The production line is Not to mention, you also know that if the production capacity of this assembly line cannot increase and there is idle time, it will actually increase the cost of single pills and lose money in disguise.”

He said he didn't mention the production line, but he actually talked about it.Then I talked about the plantation itself: "Let's talk about this garden. Brother Yuan, you know how delicate the service is, and it's so trivial. If I want to report every item, I'm afraid you won't listen to it, Brother Yuan." Be patient, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish talking when the car arrives in the park."

"Especially, we still have that crack." The driver sighed deeply, "That thing is so dangerous. It costs a lot of money every year just to strengthen and repair it. The key is that the materials mentioned by Section Chief Qi are difficult to obtain. Ah. And in such a dangerous place, the manpower needs to be increased, and I am afraid of leaking secrets. I carefully selected the credible ones, and I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with them, and I had to pay more. Otherwise, they would not dare to come—don’t say , I'm afraid."

"Are you afraid?" Yuan Fei laughed again, "I think you are very courageous, otherwise you wouldn't dare to touch that crack."

"Brother Yuan——" the driver choked, and just about to say something, Yuan Fei had already opened his eyes: "Stop talking about it in front of me. If you strengthen the cracks every year according to the regulations, the cracks will not expand at all, Xun Cao Mutation situation. If I don’t tell the truth, I will call Qi Ke.”

The driver swallowed, and smiled dryly: "Brother Yuan, look, this, does this have to alarm Section Chief Qi..."

Yuan Fei stared at him for a while, then slowly closed his eyes again: "If we can't close the scene here, we can only alarm Qi Ke."

With his words, the driver's heart immediately fell into his stomach, and he laughed a few times: "How can I lie in front of Brother Yuan. That's right, nothing happened in the past few years, the guy in charge of reinforcement It was a bit negligent. As a result, this year—well, it’s actually my fault. Last year it might have been a little unstable, but the grass grew well there, so I didn’t find anything wrong...Who knows the medicine made Well, it's a bit fierce..."

Yuan Fei closed his eyes and listened without saying a word, but he automatically translated the driver's words into the truth in his heart: In the past few years of planting, the yield of xuncao has been unable to increase, and the plantation is in a hurry.

In order to reduce the cost, these reckless people reduced the reinforcement of the cracks, which made the cracks bigger - thinking of this, Yuan Fei couldn't help but sneer.These people have never been in the world of mountains and seas, and they don't know what the strange beasts over there look like, so they dare to reduce the repair of the cracks without authorization.Fortunately, Qi Tongmin had considered this problem at the beginning. There is a mountain of Fashuang on the other side of the crack, and there is only a strange beast like a white ape in the mountain.

Although the white apes are smart, they are not violent. As long as they don't provoke them, they will not attack easily. They are not dangerous beasts.And because they are vegetarians, they are not interested in human flesh, so even if they find a crack, they will not tear it open in order to eat people.

If it weren't for this, this crack has not been properly maintained for several years, and if it really encountered a man-eating beast like a roe owl, it would have been opened long ago.If it was a ferocious beast like Wuwu or Taotie that came out, the people in this garden might not know how they died!

However, before the alien beast came out, the power of mountains and seas overflowed more, so Xuncao grew better, because they originally grew by relying on the power of mountains and seas, so they grew slowly and were difficult to expand when they were planted in the present world. Yield.

But exactly how much power of mountains and seas this crack supplies was also calculated by Qi Tongmin at the beginning.The "native" Xuncao in the world of mountains and seas has excellent effects, but the power of mountains and seas contained in it can cause harm to the human body.It was not recorded in the previous book, because people of that era were already affected by the power of mountains and seas, and their life expectancy was generally not high, and they were not aware of this problem.Moreover, they can get at most one and a half plants of Xuncao, and the damage they will suffer from eating them is limited.

However, modern times are different.The two worlds have been separated for these years, and the body of modern people has almost no resistance to the power of mountains and seas. If they consume too much, it will be harmful.But beauty products are a long-term business. If a customer has been beautiful for a few years and then suddenly ages, who would dare to use this medicine?

Qi Tongmin was thoughtful in doing this business, but it's a pity that these idiots didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all.After discovering that the growth of xuncao was accelerating, they did not notify Qi Tongmin, but made all these xuncao into medicine-of course, the efficacy of the medicine was definitely different from those planted according to regulations.

So, these people came up with a limited sale.

"Then have you ever thought about how this limit can be guaranteed?"

The driver laughed dryly: "We made it clear before we sold it. We can only eat three pills. It is absolutely not allowed to sell more than three pills to the same person, otherwise we will bear the consequences."

Consequences are at your own risk, in fact, it is equivalent to no binding force at all.When selling this medicine, you can never tell customers that if you take more than three pills, you will either age prematurely or shorten your lifespan, otherwise you will definitely not be able to sell it.But as long as the consequences are not explained, those customers who find it effective after eating it are very likely to want to buy it again—beautiful and want to be more beautiful, just like getting rich and wanting to be richer. Few people can really resist this temptation. To achieve "enough is enough".

"Actually, this accident was also accidental..." The driver laughed along, "We have already revoked the selling rights of the person who sold the overdose in violation of the regulations, and changed him to another place. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future. Yuan Brother, look-"

"Are you still planning to continue selling?"

"Brother Yuan——" the driver cried out again, "Otherwise, this is really unbearable. Let me put it bluntly, Brother Yuan will know how much you can earn from this business... "

He rolled his eyes again, and glanced at Yuan Fei from the rearview mirror: "Chief Qi is just too cautious. This kind of thing is what you like, and that is the medicine approved by the state, and you can't kill people if you take it." Did someone commit suicide with sleeping pills? Could it be that the country forbids the production of sleeping pills? I didn’t say that this person is looking for death.

Yuan Fei didn't speak.When the driver said this, he already thought of what he would say next.Sure enough, the driver paused and smiled: "Of course, Section Chief Qi is a civil servant, so he must have thought a lot. But, in fact, don't take the money from us, let others sell it, and we can share it." A lot of money. Brother Yuan, you are not the same as Section Chief Qi—hey, don’t be angry if I say something, Section Chief Qi is holding an iron rice bowl, Brother Yuan, you should... plan more for yourself ah."

He put on a heart-to-heart look: "Brother Yuan, I said this because I treat you as my own brother. You are no match for Section Chief Qi. I see that you often bring some gold over the years, so I guessed it." , brother, we all have to plan for ourselves."

Yuan Fei's eyelids twitched.In the past few years, he will also go to the world of mountains and seas, and sometimes get some gold ore, which is also bought by Boss Chen from the plantation.Is this going to threaten him with this?

"How can it be!" The driver quickly shook his head, "Brother Yuan, I'm really thinking of you."

Yuan Fei sneered.It's just for their own thinking, and they have to say it so high-sounding.However, some words did speak to his heart - he and Qi Tongmin are different after all.Qi Tongmin is looking for a future, but what he is looking for is to live comfortably with his daughter for the rest of his life.

"But now that something has happened, what are you going to do?" Yuan Fei leaned on the seat and said lightly, "Someone has already reported it to the Special Affairs Division. I can hide it for you, but the Special Affairs Division cannot keep it secret. .”

Hearing that he was relieved, the driver was overjoyed: "If it's just a coincidence, you wouldn't go to the Special Affairs Section to make a big fuss, would you?"

Yuan Fei asked: "What is the accidental method?"

"We're not going to sell it for now." The driver was clearly prepared, "We'll talk about it after avoiding the limelight. We'll be more careful when we sell it in the future. Section Chief Qi, I need to ask Brother Yuan to talk about it, just say it." A batch of Xuncao might have been mutated, and we didn't want to throw it away, so we made it into medicine and tried to sell it. Now there are not many mutated Xuncao, so we'll deal with it... Brother Yuan, look, is it successful? "

Yuan Fei grinned without a smile on his face: "You understand the situation very well..." As long as they stop now, with the staff of the Special Affairs Department, there is no way to go everywhere to investigate, and it will naturally disappear after a while.As for Qi Tongmin, if this medicine never appears again, he will not turn his face against the plantation because of what has happened. After all, the two sides are on the same boat, and no one can do without the other after years of cooperation. .

"Isn't that true of us? We don't want to cause trouble to Section Chief Qi..." The driver smiled, "Actually, we just want to make some money. Thinking about beauty and money at the same time, isn't that good for everyone? Someone said it If you don’t listen, you insist on eating more, this is actually - we really can’t blame us..."

Yuan Fei looked at him for a while: "It's okay this time, but next time someone is killed, I can't help you with it. In addition, your crack is also a problem-I have to go and see."

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan—" the driver smiled, "Well, don't worry about it..."

Yuan Fei squinted at him: "If something comes out of the crack, don't cry then."

The driver's face stiffened.Yuan Fei sneered, and took another step back, "At least I have to check the situation. The method of strengthening the crack after it expands is also different from before. I don't look at it. If something happens in the future, it will be your own bad luck."

The driver was unimpressed.This crack has been open for seven or eight years, and Qi Tongmin shouted every year that there will be accidents if it is not reinforced, but there has been no movement until now.Especially in the past two years, the growth rate of the grass around the cracks has doubled faster than before. It can be seen that the cracks have expanded a lot, and nothing has happened.Such a pity for the money they spent on those reinforcements back in the day.

Speaking of which, Qi Tongmin sold those reinforcement materials to them. Who knows if he earned the money.There is also this surnamed Yuan, who obviously agreed and has to add another hand, it seems that he has to raise the price...

While thinking, the driver quietly pressed his phone and sent a message to the plantation.He is just a messenger, let the boss make the decision on paying the money.
