Chapter 41 The Seriously Injured Monk
How does the village chief know when to plant? He just heard his second brother say recently.
But he didn't know the specific time recently. He had to ask his second brother about this before he could determine the specific sowing time.
In fact, Qiao Tieniu didn't know the specific sowing time. He wanted to go back and ask Qiao Jiarong.
After Qiao Jiarong found out, she hurriedly took out the medicinal seeds she picked in the mountains last autumn and gave them to her grandfather.
These seeds were soaked in Lingquan water, which can ensure the germination rate of the seeds. After giving the seeds to his grandfather, Qiao Jiarong also told him: These are the seeds of Bupleurum, and told him the environment suitable for planting Bupleurum.
Pay special attention to the temperature when Bupleurum seedlings emerge. Qiao Jiarong told his grandfather carefully.
In addition to Bupleurum, Qiao Jiarong also took out the seeds of Codonopsis pilosula. These two are relatively common but rare medicinal materials. Villagers can definitely make money by planting them.
As for how to sell it, Qiao Jiarong has his own way.
She had already inquired that there were often not enough medicinal materials in the town. One of the reasons why the owner of the drug store was often absent from the store was because there were not enough Chinese medicinal materials. This was also the reason why Qiao Jiarong decided to grow his own medicinal materials and sell them.
Qiao Tieniu went to the village chief with the medicinal seeds Qiao Jiarong gave him, and then explained the conditions for planting medicinal materials.
Then everyone was asked to come and collect the seeds of medicinal materials. The seeds were free of charge. However, the tools and fertilizers for growing medicinal materials cost money. Some people hesitated after hearing what the village chief said.
The village chief and Qiao Tieniu didn't force it, they distributed the seeds to those who were willing to plant them and let the villagers go back.
Qiao Laosi's family heard that there was free seed collection, so they came too.
But I heard that they were medicinal seeds, not grain seeds. Qiao and his wife, who originally thought they could get some bargains, were reluctant.
If you grow food, you can eat it even if you can't sell it! No one has ever planted the seeds of this medicinal material. What if the seeds don't grow? I heard from the village chief that this medicinal material needs to be sprinkled just like growing food.
Fertilizer.
Fertilizer is not cheap. What if you can’t sell it after planting it?
Isn’t it just a waste of money? It’s better to grow food as usual. At least they have experience. Besides, food can be handed over to the public, but medicinal materials derived from seeds cannot be handed over in place of food.
Forget it, just keep planting crops!
There are many people who have the same idea as Qiao Laosi. After much hesitation, they decided not to plant it yet.
They plan to wait and see first and see how the first batch of planting goes. See if the medicinal materials they grow can be sold. If the medicinal materials they grow can be sold, it won't be too late for them to plant them again next year.
Those families who received the seeds happily went home with the medicinal seeds. Among them was Qiao Erzhu's family.
After they got the medicinal seeds, they were afraid that they would remember it wrong. They even called Qiao Tieniu over to take a look at it so that if they did anything wrong, they could correct it in time.
Of course, there are not many people in the family who have the same idea as the clan leader. They also came to invite Qiao Tieniu, but Qiao Tieniu was only one person and how could he be busy?
Later, when the villagers saw that Qiao Tieniu really didn't have time, they called the village chief over to watch.
But the village chief, like them, was planting for the first time. He had no choice but to ask Qiao Tieniu to give them intensive lessons, and then go back to planting after the class was completed.
Although the villagers' process of planting medicinal materials is somewhat tortuous, the results are good.
A week later, under the guidance of Qiao Tieniu, the villagers finally planted all the medicinal seeds and are now waiting for them to sprout.
Qiao Tieniu followed Qiao Jiarong's instructions and asked everyone to pay attention to the temperature in the field. Especially during the period from when the seeds were first planted to when they sprouted, the seeds must not be allowed to freeze.
If the temperature at night is too low, they have to cover the fields where medicinal herbs are grown with straw mats to keep the seeds warm.
After more than half a month of careful care, the seeds of these medicinal herbs finally sprouted. The germination rate was very high, and there were basically no necrotic seeds, which surprised the villagers.
They didn't know that growing medicinal herbs was so easy and easier than growing food.
Qiao Tieniu was not so optimistic. Although he didn't know why the germination rate of these seeds was so high, he knew it must be related to the seeds his granddaughter gave him. He remembered that the crops around his house also grew better than other people's crops.
.
The crops of his elder brother's family who used the same batch of seeds as him did not grow as well as the crops grown by himself.
Therefore, Qiao Tieniu thinks that these may be related to his granddaughter Xiaorong.
But what exactly happened? Qiao Tieniu didn't know either. He always felt that his newly recognized granddaughter was very mysterious, and she always gave him some strange things.
As a veteran who had been on the battlefield, he originally did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But what happened before him made him unable to believe it.
He had never seen anyone in the village grow medicinal materials before. How could a child like Xiao Rong, who was only a few years old, grow these? Moreover, he looked like a veteran in growing medicinal materials. He knew exactly what to plant and how to control the temperature.
He has been farming for so many years, and if you ask him to tell you how to farm, he can't tell you.
Forget it, no matter what secrets Xiao Rong has. She is his granddaughter, and he has the responsibility to protect her. In the future, he should pay more attention and not let others discover the difference between Xiao Rong and others.
Qiao Jiarong didn't know yet that his grandfather had discovered something unusual about him.
As usual, she goes to school during the day and goes to space to practice or learn to draw talismans and refine weapons at night.
That night, Qiao Jiarong was just about to enter the space to practice. Suddenly she heard something moving behind the house. She carefully climbed over the wall from her home and went to the place where the sound was coming from behind.
It was discovered that there was a dark shadow in the field where her family grew medicinal materials, and there were spiritual fluctuations on the person's body. This is why Qiao Jiarong did not use his spiritual sense to investigate immediately.
In the world of immortality, it is taboo to use spiritual consciousness to investigate.
If the person being investigated has a better cultivation level than himself, but if the other person has a higher level of cultivation than himself, then it will be bad. This will be regarded as a provocation and there is a risk of being killed by the other party.
After discovering that the other party was a monk, Qiao Jiarong became even more careful.
She was far away and didn't know what kind of cultivation the other party had, so it was better to be careful. Qiao Jiarong hid behind the house for a while and found that the other party was lying there motionless. She didn't know whether the other party was dead or seriously injured and in a coma?
Qiao Jiarong thought for a while and went forward to take a look.
If the other party is dead, then collect his storage bag. If the other party is just unconscious, then give him a tonic pill and wait until he wakes up.
When Qiao Jiarong walked to the black shadow, the other person did not wake up. But Qiao Jiarong was sure that the other person was not dead, because when she got closer, she heard the other person's breathing.
Since he's not dead, let's show him!
Qiao Jiarong used his spiritual consciousness to check the opponent and found that he was just a monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He was injured during a fight with someone. The injury was extremely serious, and he fainted due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
The other party may have run here after a long period of running and panicking.
