Area
Bai Mang's father is an honest farmer. He cultivates more than ten acres of land at home and works in the infrastructure construction team in his spare time. He can earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year.
His mother is a housewife. After finishing her housework, she sometimes goes out to do odd jobs to earn a little money to supplement the family income.
The family is not too difficult, but it is definitely not rich, and there is still no problem in having food to eat.
Bai Mang didn't get admitted to any serious university. He studied for a junior college for two years and found it boring, so he dropped out.
Not even a diploma is required.
After returning home, I didn’t have any formal job, so I just stayed at home. Apart from doing odd jobs, I earned a living by commentating on games.
Bai Mang's grandfather is eighty-two years old this year, and he has a bad disease, lung cancer!
I stayed in the hospital for more than half a month and was discharged home because I was too old to undergo surgery.
The doctor recommended chemotherapy, saying that it would be possible to cure the disease.
I don’t know if he believes this when he says it.
Anyway, Bai Mang didn't believe it. He was opposed to grandpa's chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy is not as simple as taking painkillers. People undergoing chemotherapy have to endure all kinds of discomfort and pain.
A man in his 80s is already terminally ill anyway. Why should he endure that kind of pain even though he knows that chemotherapy won’t work?
And the cost is very expensive.
Without chemotherapy, grandpa might still be able to live for a year and a half. Once he undergoes chemotherapy, he will basically be dead in a few months.
Bai Mang checked on the Internet and found that the cases that were cured by chemotherapy were all benign tumors. He had not seen any cases of malignant tumors that could be cured by chemotherapy.
This was his main reason for opposing his grandfather's chemotherapy.
Early the next morning, Bai Mang rode an electric bike to the village where his grandfather lived eight miles away.
There are three brothers and one sister, father, brother and a sister. Grandpa now lives with his brother-in-law.
When Bai Mang came to his uncle's house, his parents, uncle, aunt, and uncle were all here, surrounding his grandfather and forcing a smile.
Grandpa was in good spirits and even smiled when he saw Bai Mang coming.
Bai Mang said hello to his grandfather, and after some greetings, he went to the outhouse to listen to his uncle and aunt's decision on the treatment of his grandfather's condition.
"When an old man is sick, children cannot just ignore him. Even if he sells iron, he still needs to be treated." Bai Mang's father, Bai Changjiang, said after a long silence.
The three brothers and sisters in their family are not rich, but the old man is sick and cannot be ignored.
The Bai family is not a family with unfilial sons.
My father's brother-in-law and uncle seemed to support his grandfather's chemotherapy. Although Bai Mang opposed chemotherapy, the adults made the decision and he did not express any further opinions.
He knows that his opinion will not change the direction of things, and there is no use in speaking it out.
After making the decision, the adults started to do what they should do.
Bai Mang returned to his grandfather's room, holding his hand and chatting with him.
He is the only third-generation male in the Bai family. His brother-in-law has two daughters, so his grandfather is usually the best to him.
Bai Mang and his grandfather had just chatted for a few words when Sun Xiaoqiu came out uninvited.
Flying around Grandpa Baimang.
"Don't scare my grandpa."
"Don't worry! He can't see me, oops! There is something wrong with your grandfather's health. There is a round sarcoma here, with a scaly appearance." Sun Xiaoqiu stayed in the air on his grandfather's right lung.
"Can you see my grandfather's illness?" Bai Mang was a little surprised.
"What's the matter? I can see everything. I can also see under your clothes."
Bai Mang immediately felt a chill in his crotch.
"My grandfather has lung cancer. You can see his symptoms, so is there any way you can remove the sarcoma?"
"I can't! But there are three kinds of plants on Lanman Star. If you pound them together and make soup, you can make this sarcoma disappear. Does that count as a cure?"
"Really?" Bai Mang was pleasantly surprised.
Originally, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Sun Xiaoqiu actually came up with a solution.
Once the tumor is gone, it is naturally cured.
"Of course it's true. Plants like the white sorrel, willow flower, and golden lily on the Orchid Star can eliminate tumors in your human body."
“Can all tumors be eliminated?”
"Of course, any tumor can be eliminated!"
Hold the grass! This is to make a fortune! In the future, a clinic will be opened on the street to treat various tumors.
Nowadays, a treatment for a tumor costs at least tens of thousands of yuan, and at most it costs tens of millions.
Is it okay for me to accept 20,000 to 30,000 yuan at a time?
One person has 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and ten people have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. What about a hundred people? What about a thousand people? It’s hard not to get rich!
"Little ball! Are there many of these three kinds of herbs on the Orchid Star?"
"Not much! And it's not in the same place, so it's hard to find. If you're lucky, you can find it in three months or two months. If you just look at it, you may not be able to find it for several years."
Bai Mang's head was like a boiling pot with a ladle of cold water poured into it, cooling him from head to heel.
Bai was so happy.
How many more months will it take to be lucky? His grandfather doesn't know if he can survive for a few more months.
But he had to look for it no matter whether it was difficult or not. Bai Mang decided to go to Lanmang Star tonight.
Bai Mang said goodbye to his grandfather and rode his electric bike home.
We are going to Lanmanxing tonight, so we naturally have to make preparations.
In addition to finding herbs for his grandfather, Bai Mang is also preparing to complete his first task.
He only has one square meter of storage space. It would be too much to bring machinery there, so he can only use a pickaxe to clear the wasteland.
Baimang removed the head of the pickaxe and sawed the handle shorter, otherwise it would not fit into the storage space.
I also took a shovel to the open space and dug out more than a hundred weeds with roots.
Weeds need to be watered after they are planted, otherwise even the weeds may not survive. Of course, a watering can is indispensable.
This time I went to Lanmangxing and it might take a long time to come back. Baimang also brought rice and water.
Just in case, he also prepared a machete more than a foot long, as well as a compass, but he didn't know if these things would work on Lanman Star.
When all preparations were completed, at twelve o'clock in the night, Baimang came to Lanmang Star.
The night of the earth is the day of the Lanman star. I don’t know what the setting is.
It's still the same place where he appeared last time.
Lanmanxing will definitely come frequently in the future, so it is necessary to choose a long-term fixed foothold, which is equivalent to a base.
Then it radiates to the surrounding areas through this base area.
Baimang began to look for a suitable place to make a base.
This place must have water, shelter from the sun, and be protected from natural disasters such as heavy rains and typhoons.
The most important point is that the nearby land should be flat and fertile to facilitate future development.
After some inspections, Bai Mang chose his base next to the river ahead.
The base area naturally needs to be near a water source.
This is a medium-sized river with a width of about thirty to forty meters. The water is relatively gentle and crystal clear.
Bai Mang judged the width of the river when the water rose based on the traces of water on the river bank.
So we chose the base area at the foot of a lonely mountain by the river.
The height of this solitary mountain from the ground is visually estimated to be about ten meters, with a radius of
Bai Mang walked around this solitary mountain for only the time it took to smoke a cigarette.
It is such a small mountain that is not a mountain.
There are many isolated hills like this on the river bank, about a dozen of them, with basically the same height and shape.
It's like a photocopy.
