Chapter 768 Zhaojiacun
Fang Bai's generosity won the trust of both father and son, making them feel at ease.
When the son saw his father receiving the money, he smiled and said to Fang Bai: "Brother, do you think this is okay? You go back with us first and stay in our house for one night. Tomorrow morning we invite a few hunters to go into the mountains together... I won't hide it. You said, my dad and I just came out of the mountains yesterday, we were a little tired, and wanted to take a day's rest at home to replenish our energy..."
"good!"
Fang Bai nodded with a smile, waited for the father and son to pack up the stall, and walked with them towards Zhaojiacun.
Zhaojia Village is more than ten miles east of the market town, separated from the endless virgin forest by only a hill.
On the way, Fang Bai chatted with the father and son, and learned that his father's name was Zhao Yunjian and his son's name was Zhao Guoqiang. Their ancestors were hunters. The father and son inherited their ancestor's skills and were good at hunting.
There used to be many large and small animals in the virgin forest. Later, with the frequent human activities and excessive hunting, if you want to catch wild animals such as pheasants and hares, you can no longer do it at the edge of the primitive forest. You have to enter it. .
In the depths of the primeval forest, there are wild boars, wild wolves, wild bears and other large wild beasts. These wild beasts have powerful attacks. If you encounter them during hunting, you will be in great danger.
Therefore, some hunters in Zhaojiacun usually go into the mountains in groups, bringing enough defensive weapons such as crossbows and shotguns, just in case.
The prey that the hunters jointly hunt in the deep mountains and snow forests will be brought back to the village, distributed according to the amount of effort, and then sold individually in the market town.
Zhao Yunjian and Zhao Guoqiang, father and son, are the leaders of many hunters in Zhaojia Village. They are very prestigious and almost all the hunters listen to them.
"Young man, there is something I want to discuss with you..."
When he arrived at the entrance of Zhaojia Village, Zhao Yunjian stopped and said to Fang Bai: "There are more than a hundred families in our Zhaojia Village, and there are more than a dozen hunters like us, but their family circumstances are not very good. Tomorrow our father and son will bring more When hunters go into the mountains, if they can find the things you want, I want to give them part of the money you give us. Do you think that's okay?"
"Uncle Zhao Renyi! When the time comes, I will hand over the money to you and your son. As for how to distribute it, it is of course up to you and your son to decide! If the harvest is good this time, I will give another part of the bonus to you!"
From Zhao Yunshu's words, it can be seen that he is not only honest and kind, but also very benevolent, which makes Fang Bai's impression of him better and better.
For a pure and benevolent person like Zhao Yunshu, Fang Bai was never stingy and decided to give them as much money as possible after finding the "Earth Immortal Ginseng". Anyway, the money was basically meaningless to Fang Bai, so it was better to use it to help. Those who need help,
The three of them entered Zhaojia Village. After Zhao Yunjian placed Fang Bai in his home, he asked his son to prepare lunch for him. He walked around the village and called a dozen hunters to his yard.
"Folks, this little brother Fang wants something like this from the mountains, and promised ten thousand yuan for each plant... He has already given a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan, and he is keeping it here... Is there anyone who is willing to work with me? Guoqiang and I will go into the mountains to look for this thing together, and I will share the money with you when the time comes... If you are willing to go, just tell me, and then go home and prepare. We will set off at dawn tomorrow!"
Zhao Yunjian didn't like to mince words when he spoke. He glanced at the hunters and said straight to the point. At the same time, he took out the "Earth Immortal Ginseng" for everyone to see and introduced Fang Bai to everyone.
"Earth ginseng" was also seen by the hunters who went hunting in the mountains with Zhao Yunjian and his son a few days ago, but no one paid attention to it at the time. That is to say, Zhao Yunjian was curious and dug a few plants back. Unexpectedly, he encountered When a customer like Fang Bai arrived, he was willing to buy it at a high price.
The hunters in Zhaojiacun didn't know what value the "Earth Immortal Ginseng" had, but the reward of 10,000 yuan per plant really moved them. Even if they knew it was dangerous to enter the mountain, they decided to go with Zhao Yunjian tomorrow Father and son go together.
So a dozen hunters returned home excitedly and began to prepare for going into the mountains tomorrow.
At noon, Zhao Yunjian and his son accompanied Fang Bai to eat and drink together. Since the family's financial situation was not very good, the meal was not sumptuous. However, Fang Bai did not take it seriously. He and Zhao Yunjian and his son exchanged cups, drank happily, and talked happily. .
During the meal, Fang Bai asked about the condition of Zhao Yunshu's wife Liu Fang. Zhao Yunjian's expression darkened, he sighed and said, "Your aunt is suffering from blood cancer... which is what people often call leukemia. Guo Qiang and I are going to be together every other day. Take her to a hospital in the city for treatment. The doctor said the disease is difficult to cure and can only be maintained temporarily..."
"The family originally had some savings, but since your aunt fell ill, a trip to the hospital cost several thousand yuan. The savings have been spent, and we have borrowed a lot from relatives and friends. In order to make ends meet, we, father and son, go to the mountains more often than before. There were a lot more in the past...Oh, life is hard!"
Zhao Yunjian sighed, and Zhao Guoqiang was drinking quietly on the side. If Liu Fang hadn't been ill, their family of three would have been very happy.
Zhao Yunjian doesn't think too much now, he just hopes to save his wife's life.
"Uncle Zhao, let's go and see what's wrong with my aunt! I'm a doctor and I study Chinese medicine. I may have a way to cure my aunt's disease!"
After the meal, Fang Bai stood up and said to Zhao Yunjian.
Zhao Yunjian was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "Traditional Chinese medicine... how can it be cured well! Brother Fang, I appreciate your kindness..."
Zhao Guoqiang didn't wait for his father to finish what he said before he interrupted: "Dad, it's okay to let Brother Fang take a look! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we all have to give it a try!"
Fang Bai said: "Brother Qiang is right. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should try it... I have a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors, which is very effective in treating leukemia..."
Zhao Yunjian didn't really believe Fang Bai's words, but Fang Bai was kind-hearted and he couldn't refuse anymore, so he took Fang Bai to his wife Liu Fang's room.
Liu Fang was lying on the bed, her face was yellow and thin, and her complexion was very poor. When she saw a guest coming, she sat up with support.
"Auntie, I'm here to see you! Come on, let me check your pulse first..."
Fang Bai sat in front of Liu Fang's bed, explained his purpose, then picked up her left hand and placed his fingers on her wrist vein.
Liu Fang had heard her husband tell Fang Bai's identity before, and knew that he was a rich young man, but she didn't expect that he was also a doctor. However, like Liu Yunjian, she had no hope at all for Fang Bai.
"The condition is not serious... I have a pill here. If you take it, you will feel much better after sleeping. You will be fully recovered in two or three days!"
As Fang Bai spoke, he took out a "Marrow Cleansing Pill" and handed it to Liu Fang, gesturing for her to take it.
