After walking out of the door, within a few dozen steps, he met Gu Maolin.
The boy looked around and saw Wang Ke. It was too late for him to hide.
Gu Maolin was indeed changing himself, but it was hard to get back. As soon as he came out to perform tasks, his free and loose habits came out again.
Before setting off, Wang Ke specifically told Niu Suozhu to keep an eye on him. This kid has a lot of problems and often doesn't play according to the rules. It's best to help him one-on-one.
Song Ruimin, Niu Suozhu and Gu Maolin were all soldiers of the same age, and they would not obey anyone in charge.
Therefore, Wang Ke explained that anyone who goes out must not only ask for leave from the squad leader, but also keep two or more people going out together to supervise each other.
Gu Maolin and Niu Suozhu asked for leave tonight to go out for a tour. Now that he came back alone, he must have had some ulterior motives and dismissed Liu Suozhu as his tail.
"Gu Maolin, what do you do?"
"Report to the monitor, I'm looking for Niu Suozhu."
"Is there any way to find a solution like you? Not on the main road, but in the dark alleys?"
"Report to the monitor, aren't I afraid that he will play hide-and-seek with me?" Gu Maolin said with a playful smile.
"You have two choices now. One is to get back immediately and stay at home, and the other is to follow me." Wang Ke is in a hurry now and cannot watch him at home, but he also knows that this kid's butt If you can't sit still, you will definitely be willing to follow yourself.
"Where to go?"
"I went to the home of an old Chinese medicine doctor who is quite famous."
"No, I'd better go home and sleep."
Wang Ke glanced at Gu Maolin, can this kid go back to sleep? It's only what time, so there's no guarantee that there's something messy in my stomach.
"Gu Maolin, you really don't want to go. They have a lot of delicious food. Have you tried donkey-hide gelatin?"
"Donkey-hide gelatin, the kind made from donkey skin? I know that although it is expensive, it is used by women to nourish yin, moisten the lungs, and promote pregnancy and blood circulation. Why should I eat that stuff?"
"Tell me you understand, but you really don't understand. Who said you can't eat donkey-hide gelatin? Donkey-hide gelatin has many uses. It can replenish heart and lung deficiency, treat insomnia, cough, anemia, osteoporosis, etc."
"Really or not, can my frequent insomnia and cough be cured?"
Wang Ke thought to himself, you are thinking about things all day long. It would be strange if you don't wear a hat in the winter, suffer from insomnia and cough.
"Of course, come with me and I'll help you find some slices to try."
"Okay, monitor, but I'm going with you just for your sake. Don't play tricks on me."
So Gu Maolin and Wang Ke turned left and right and found Uncle Dong Pianfang's house.
The door was open, but before Wang Ke called out, Uncle Dong Pianfang saw Wang Ke through the light in the yard.
"Oh, you kid, why did you come to our village so late at night? Come in quickly." He said and opened the door curtain.
Wang Ke took Gu Maolin and saluted Uncle Dong Pianfang.
Entering the house, Wang Ke told Uncle Dong Pianfang that he was accompanying the County Water Conservancy Bureau to survey and map tens of thousands of acres of farmland and ditches, and tonight was the first stop to stay in Nanshao Village.
"Then quickly bring the comrades from your class and come live at home."
"No need, Uncle Dong. We already live in a primary school, and the conditions for food and accommodation are good. I'm here to see you tonight, and give you this thing by the way. Please help me take a look." With that, He handed the wordless heavenly book to Uncle Dong Pianfang.
"What's this?"
"Uncle Dong, this is the wordless heavenly book I told you last time. I asked an expert to read it. It was from the Ming Dynasty at the latest, and most likely from the Song Dynasty. But I just can't understand it. There are some pictures of little people on it. and symbols.”
"Let me take a look." Dong Pianfang took the wordless book and turned it over. When he saw it, he frowned.
The first few pages were a bit torn, but after turning back a few pages, I saw a picture of a man bowing to the sun.
Uncle Dong Pianfang frowned more and more. He stared at this picture and looked left and right, puzzled. Why should he bow to the sun? What does the sun mean? In the previous picture, a circle is drawn on the person’s head. What does this circle mean? Is it the aura of wisdom, or is it the brim of the hat on your head?
Uncle Dong Pianfang held this book in his hand, stood up and started to circle around the room. He thought for a while and stopped.
From this book and its paper and parchment cover alone, there is no problem that it has hundreds of years of history. What do the ancients mean by drawing these pictures, grass, and symbols?
The more incomprehensible something is, the more mysterious it is.
Uncle Dong Pianfang turned back again, and suddenly his eyes stopped. The picture showed several grasses and two round things like eggs, in an urn. The urn was steaming, and there was a person staring at the urn next to it. What does this mean?
But this grass seems to be very familiar to him...it seems vague but not very similar, could it be a kind of herbal medicine?
Uncle Dong Pianfang and Wang Ke were reading this book in the room, while Gu Maolin was running around anxiously. He wandered around the yard, looking at the fruit trees in the yard and the pigs in the pigsty. After turning around, he came to the donkey pen at Uncle Dong Pianfang's house. There are more than a dozen black donkeys inside, grazing with their heads down.
This boy was next to the hay trough, touching this donkey's head and that donkey's back.
Uncle Dong's donkeys are not tied up, and most people don't dare to go in. Be careful of the donkeys kicking you. It is common to be kicked by it, and it is common to get a bruise from a light kick, or to break a leg from a heavy kick.
Uncle Dong raises so many donkeys, mainly using donkey skins to make donkey hide gelatin after autumn. Of course, donkey blood is also a good thing and can be used as medicine.
Gu Maolin was so excited that he wanted to go in and get a donkey to ride on. As a result, as soon as he entered, he was kicked before he even touched the donkey. After the kick, Gu Maolin said "ouch" and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to yell and curse, suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the donkey's belly.
I saw that this donkey was very tall and mighty, with shiny black hair, and it seemed that it had some strength.
"Squad leader, squad leader!" Gu Maolin stared at the black donkey, fearing that he would not be able to find the donkey when he turned his head. There are more than a dozen donkeys in the pen.
Uncle Dong Pianfang and Wang Ke heard Gu Maolin's cry in the house and ran out quickly.
At first glance, both of them were frightened to death. Gu Maolin fell down on the ground in the donkey pen. A group of donkeys huddled in a corner in fear. They were kicked by donkeys!
"Are you hurt?" Uncle Dong Pianfang was busy going to help Gu Maolin.
"Uncle, don't help me yet. Get out the donkey that kicked me. Yes, that's the tall one!"
Dong Pianfang took a look and saw that this kid was still competing with the donkey. If you kick me, I will beat you to death.
"Okay, I'll get it out, this beast."
By the time Uncle Dong Pianfang got the black donkey out, Gu Maolin had already crawled out from under the feed trough of the donkey pen. He stood up and looked at the donkey, "Yes, that's it."
"Are you okay? Are you going to whip it or kill it?" Uncle Dong Pianfang asked with a smile.
"Uncle, do you want to sell this donkey?" Gu Maolin said.
When Wang Ke heard this, he realized that this kid was acting stupid again. After being kicked by a donkey, he actually wanted to take the donkey away. Want to buy it? Do you have the money? Tanjia borrowed 20 yuan from me and has not paid it back to me yet.
"Gu Maolin!" Wang Ke felt that Gu Maolin must be stopped.
Unexpectedly, Gu Maolin ignored it at all and continued: "If you don't want to sell it, you can just lend it to us first."
"Do you want this donkey?" Because Gu Maolin was brought by Wang Ke, Uncle Dong Pianfang saw that Gu Maolin was the same as Wang Ke, so he was naturally very affectionate.
"Yes, our survey team lacks a donkey to carry things." Gu Maolin said.
When Wang Ke heard it, it was true. Surveying cannot be carried out on a flat road, not on fields, hillsides, or valleys! The hatchback tool cart cannot be driven in. It would be much more convenient if a donkey carried the surveying and mapping tools and wooden piles.
Uncle Dong Pianfang understood it immediately. "If you need donkeys, just take them. What can be sold or borrowed? Just take them. Xiao Wang Ke, your troops are supporting us in building water conservancy. I will give you this donkey. I will give you two more baskets later." When it’s all used up, you can give it to your company. It’s convenient to buy groceries and give them to individuals.”
"This is absolutely unavoidable. Uncle Dong, if you give it to me, we won't dare to ask for it. This way it counts as my purchase. I will give you a deposit of thirty yuan first." Wang Ke hurriedly stuffed the money that Wu Xiangyu had received during the Spring Festival last time. Spend the remaining thirty yuan on him.
"You bastard, I know your army has discipline. Last time you bought medicine from my house and left, I haven't paid you back the twenty yuan you secretly left! That's just the deposit. If you have money, you can give me another one in the future. One hundred yuan, if you don’t have money, forget it.”
Wang Ke looked at the donkey in front of him. It cost at least five or six hundred yuan.
"Uncle Dong!"
"You are still being polite to me. When the two girls left last time, I promised that each of them would be given two ends in the future. This counts as you taking one away first."
"Uncle Dong..." Wang Ke knew that he couldn't say any more. He might bring up Wu Xiangyu and Ye Qianpian's affairs again. He really had no words to explain in front of Gu Maolin.
"Okay, Uncle Dong, I'll take it first. I'm going back too. We'll stay in the village for about five days."
"Then wait a minute. I'll put a rein and a bridle on this donkey, and I'll also find a pair of carrying racks." Dong Pianfang quickly packed up everything, put on a bridle, equipped with a saddle and a carrying rack basket. , handing the reins to Wang Ke.
"The donkey you are leading is very humane, knows the way, and has great strength. Look at the slippery black hair on it. It's very good." Dong Pianfang patted the black donkey's neck. "Don't miss home after you go, follow Wang Ke well, and you will work with the People's Liberation Army from now on."
"Wang Ke, I will take good care of your wordless heavenly book and return it to you after I have researched it."
Wang Ke nodded, why should he not trust Dong's prescription? If he couldn't understand this book, there would be no one else who could.
Saying goodbye to Uncle Dong Pianfang, Wang Ke led the black donkey and walked back. When we went there we were two people, but when we came back we were two people and one donkey.
After turning a corner and seeing that there was no one around, Gu Maolin grabbed Wang Ke. He couldn't restrain his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "Squad leader, we are rich."
"Yeah, how can I not get rich just because of your shame? This donkey is worth at least five or six hundred yuan. Look at his teeth. He is in his prime."
"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about here." As he spoke, Gu Maolin patted the black donkey's belly.
"What does this mean?" Wang Ke looked confused.
Gu Maolin quickly lined up with Wang Ke and whispered: "This donkey has a baby in its belly."
"What are you talking about?"
"Squad leader, have you forgotten my eyes?" Gu Maolin stopped.
Wang Ke also stopped. He thought of Gu Maolin's terrifying eyes, "You mean you saw the donkey's belly..."
Gu Maolin quickly waved his hand, "The secret must not be leaked!"
