Although this small river is not wide, its flow is gentle. There are tall reeds on both sides. When the wind blows, the reeds sway with the wind, and wild ducks are looming among the reeds.
Wang Dachun lamented, “When I was a child, I often swam and fished in this small river, but I didn’t expect that this river could lead directly to the county seat.”
"Dachun, what should we do now? The road in Taoyuan Village will not be repaired until next year. How will the herbs be transported during this period?"
"If we rely on water transportation, if nothing else, where will we have ships?"
"Besides, there are gangsters on the docks in the county. Those people eat people without spitting out their bones. What if they swallow our medicinal materials?"
The villagers started talking again, and now Wang Dachun has long become the backbone of the villagers.
Wang Dachun thought for a moment and suddenly his eyes lit up, "In this way, there are a lot of bamboos on our mountain. In the past two days, everyone will come to cut bamboos and build bamboo rafts. When the time comes, the medicinal materials will be put on the bamboo rafts and transported to the county. What do you think? "
"Hey! That's a good idea, I didn't think of it."
"Yes, how big is Dachun's brain? We have lived for decades, and we don't have as many ideas as Dachun."
The villagers all thought Wang Dachun's idea was a good one. He could grab a handful of bamboo on the mountain and cut it down without affecting the greening.
The old village chief clucked his lips and said with some worry: "Dachun, even if we can use bamboo rafts to transport it, what if we get raped by those guys at the dock?"
Everyone's expressions became solemn upon hearing this. This is the issue that everyone is most worried about.
Wang Dachun waved his hand, "It's okay. Don't worry, everyone. I know people on the road in the county. I can just say hello to them when the time comes."
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately relieved and praised Wang Dachun, "He is still a Dachun cow. He even knows everyone on the road."
If they knew that Li Heihu was Wang Dachun's younger brother, they didn't know what they would think.
As soon as they were told, everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. All the labor force in the village was mobilized, and the thick bamboos were chopped down.
Everyone has a clear division of labor, those who chop bamboo chop it, those who carry it, those who cut branches, those who twist ropes, and those who build bamboo rafts.
Everyone was chatting while working, and the mood was very high. Seeing that life was getting prosperous day by day, and everyone was on the road to a well-off society, everyone was full of energy.
This is how people are, as long as there is hope in life, they will work hard even if it is a little bit hard. What they fear most is that there is no hope in life and there is no hope. That is the saddest thing.
Two days passed, and everyone built a total of forty or fifty bamboo rafts. The rows of bamboo rafts lined up on the water are still very spectacular, like small battleships.
After the bamboo rafts were tied up, the villagers began to harvest the herbs. No one expected that it only took less than half a month from the seeds to the ground to harvest.
If we continue like this and harvest two crops a month, we won't be making a fortune.
This is theoretically true, but in practice it is impossible because it is summer and herbs grow quickly. When the weather gets cooler, the growth cycle of herbs will be extended.
Wang Dachun estimates that several crops of herbs can still be harvested before winter comes. If this situation spread outside, people would be scared to death.
However, here, the legend belonging to Taoyuan Village is being played out.
Zhu Lin personally guided the harvesting of herbs. Some of these herbs were flowers, some were straws, and most were rhizomes.
It took four or five days for the villagers to harvest all the herbs.
Next, some villagers stayed to tidy up the land and try to plant the second crop of seeds, while others were responsible for transporting herbs.
Although there were forty or fifty bamboo rafts, there were not enough. Wang Dachun estimated that it would take three trips to transport them all.
Although the planting time of herbs is short, due to the effect of green liquid, this first crop of herbs has achieved a bumper harvest.
Wang Dachun looked at the piles of medicinal materials piled on the bamboo raft and said: "Uncle Dafu, Uncle Erleng, you go by the waterway first. I will go by the road on my motorcycle. Let's meet at the county dock. If you need anything, let's call." ,Safety first."
Li Decai said: "Don't worry, Dachun, we all know how to swim, there won't be any problems."
Wang Dachun nodded and separated from the others. Not long after riding, Wang Dachun's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was Zhang Dafu and frowned.
When the call was connected, Zhang Dafu's somewhat angry voice came over, "Dachun, something happened. When we were transporting herbs through Datong Village, they blocked the river with fishing nets and stopped us from crossing."
Wang Dachun's expression changed, "Why? This river doesn't belong to them."
"Hey, this is a long story. Dachun, come over and take a look. The two sides are almost fighting now." Zhang Dafu said anxiously.
"Okay, you must stay calm and don't conflict with the people in Datong Village. I will be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Dachun rode his motorcycle along the path to the river.
By the river, the villagers of Datong Village and Taoyuan Village were confronting each other.
Due to its geographical location, if Taoyuan Village wants to enter the city, it must pass through Datong Village whether by land or water.
And the conflict between the villagers in these two villages is no longer a day or two.
During this period, things were going on in Taoyuan Village. People in Datong Village saw it, and they would be lying if they said they were not envious, jealous, and hateful.
In particular, he has been brooding over the last time village chief Tian Daqing was slapped by Wang Dachun in front of the county and town mayor.
Today I finally had the opportunity to get stuck. How could Tian Daqing let go of this golden opportunity?
So after receiving the news, Tian Daqing immediately organized the villagers to block the river with fishing nets to prevent Zhang Dafu and others from navigation.
When Zhang Dafu saw the dozens of bamboo rafts full of medicinal materials, he was really shocked. He didn't understand how Taoyuan Village could conjure so many medicinal materials like magic.
How much does it cost? Medicinal materials are much more expensive than food. They are high value-added products.
Villagers of Taoyuan Village: "Hurry up and take back the fishing nets! This river does not belong to your village, so why don't we let us go?"
Villagers of Datong Village: "Evacuate as soon as you say, we are catching fish, you have to compensate for the loss of fish!"
Villagers of Taoyuan Village: "What a joke, your net is not a net for catching fish at all. Do you think we are stupid?"
Villagers of Datong Village: "I won't let you go even if you say you won't let me go. You can go back and forth wherever you want!"
Tian Daqing smiled but said, "If you want to go there, it's not impossible. Just leave the two bamboo rafts as tolls."
Zhang Dafu was very angry, "Despicable! Tian Daqing, you are also the head of a village, but you didn't expect to engage in banditry. Do you still want to show your face!"
Chen Ergou snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and follow our village chief's wishes, otherwise I will withhold all your medicinal materials."
Wang Daniu smiled sinisterly and said: "That's right, you guys in Taoyuan Village eat meat, so you should order some soup for us in Datong Village."
When the two sides were in a stalemate, suddenly there was a sound of motorcycle motor not far away.
Chen Ergou's expression changed, "No! It's that little beast Wang Dachun here!"
