Zhao Xu frowned when he heard Su Rou's words.

yes!

The witch said they couldn't leave today, and it came true.

I hope that if I get up early and leave early tomorrow morning, I can get away from the people in the "scientific expedition team."

Among those people, one of them was not a "person". This sentence has always puzzled Zhao Xu.

After breakfast, Zhao Xu and Su Rou played with Zhou Mei's children.

At this time, a man with a height of only about 1.6 meters came in.

The man was a little hunched. After he came in, he greeted Zhou Mei and said, "Hey! Amei, you have a guest at your house too?"

Zhou Mei was washing the dishes. While wiping her hands with her apron, she greeted the man who came in and said, "Village Chief, you are here!"

The village chief said "Yeah!"

Zhou Mei introduced the village chief: "These are Mr. Zhao and Miss Su. Are they going to Wushan to collect medicine?"

"Collecting herbs?" The village chief frowned and said to Zhao Xu: "Little brother, I'm not trying to scare you. There are savages in this Wushan Mountain. You might as well spend money to buy some herbs. Why do you have to go into the mountain yourself?

Go pick it."

Zhao Xu explained: "The herb we want to collect is very precious. It is called Huanyangcao. I wonder if the village chief knows this herb?"

"Huanyang grass?" The village chief shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it! Are you sure there is such a herb?"

This herbal medicine is recorded in Huayi's ancestral medical classics.

Zhao Xu can be sure that this herb must have existed in the past. As for whether it exists now, it is not certain.

In modern society, people are deforestation indiscriminately, and forests are seriously destroyed.

Some rare plants, the most needed spiritual energy, are becoming increasingly thinner. Therefore, some rare and valuable Chinese herbal medicines have either become extinct or grow in inaccessible places.

Zhao Xu said: "A friend of mine suffered internal injuries and needs this medicine. Without this medicine, there is no way to cure it. So, I heard that this herb is available in Dawu Mountain. I can only try my luck."

"Just you two?" the village chief asked, looking at Zhao Xu and Su Rou.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes! Just the two of us."

"By the way, a scientific expedition team just came to our village. They have experience in entering Dawu Mountain. Why don't you go with them?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "No need! Just the two of us will do."

The "witch" had said that there was no way they were going on this trip together. What Zhao Xu was most afraid of was traveling with others.

The village chief invited them to join the "scientific expedition team", but of course Zhao Xu couldn't agree.

"Young man! This place in the deep mountains and old forests is not as simple as you think. One more person means more strength. Let's do this! Come to my house and I will introduce you to each other."

"Thank you, village chief, for your kindness! I'm used to being a loner and don't like crowds of people."

The village chief sighed and said, "Okay!"

The village chief came to talk to Zhou Mei about something. He said that there was not a lot of rice at home, and asked Zhou Mei if she had any extra rice at home.

It just so happened that Zhao Xu bought three bags of rice and three bags of noodles for Zhou Mei's family yesterday. He lent one bag to the village chief.

The village chief happily carried the rice and left with an umbrella.

The rain didn't stop until five o'clock in the evening.

After the rain, the air is especially fresh.

Zhao Xu took a small stool and smoked a cigarette in the yard.

Zhou Mei's child named "Xiao Xing" came to Zhao Xu and asked: "Big brother! Can you play football with me?"

The boy named "Xiao Xing" took out a very old football.

Zhao Xu tried to kick it twice. Although the ball was very old, the leather was still well preserved, so he nodded.

He taught "Little Star" to bounce the ball with his toes, and then with his knees.

Even though Zhao Xu is not a professional player, he plays the ball in a measured and precise manner, which is no worse than that of professional players.

Xiaoxing clapped her hands and cheered: "Brother, you played really well!"

Zhao Xu touched the head of "Xiao Xing" and said with a smile: "Practice hard. The future strength of national football will depend on your generation! If you play football well, you can come to me in the city and I will help you."

Form a football team.”

"football team?"

"It's the football team I sponsor!"

"Okay! I will definitely play well."

Xiaoxing was very excited, imitated Zhao Xu's movements, and started practicing.

But after practicing for a long time, he could only use his toes to bounce the ball, not his knees at all.

Zhao Xu patiently explained to Xiaoxing how to connect the toes and knees. Don't pursue tricks first. Every ball you kick must be taken seriously.

Xiaoxing practiced for a long time and became a little stronger than before.

Zhao Xu saw that this child had a good talent for playing football, but he was born in such a remote and remote place, so his talent was really hidden. However, he was not his parent, and he could not make the decision for this child.

Xiaoxing asked Zhao Xu: "Brother, are you rich?"

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xu lit a cigarette and started smoking, squinting at Xiaoxing and asked.

Xiaoxing explained: "I see that you drive this car very well, and you bought so many delicious things for our family. You also have a beautiful sister to accompany you. You must be a successful person."

“Does having money mean you are successful?”

Little

Zhao Xu thought about it and found that what this child said made sense.

Zhao Xu smiled and said to Xiaoxing: "Xiaoxing, when a person has enough money to spend, you will find that he still has many goals to pursue. Remember, don't be blinded by money. Money

It can make people happy, but it can also make people corrupt."

"Big brother! If one day I can play well, will you really help me form a football team?" Xiaoxing's eyes showed a look of longing.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Come on, let's play Gou! Big brother will do what he says."

After the two of them pulled the hook, Xiaoxing said happily: "Pull the hook and hang yourself. It won't change for a hundred years!"

Stayed another night at Zhou Mei's house.

Zhao Xu told Zhou Mei that his car was parked at her house and that he would pick it up at their house when he came back.

Zhou Mei saw that Zhao Xu and Su Rou were very nice people. Not only were they warm and generous, but they also got along well with children. She nodded and said, "Let them park their cars here without any worries!"

On the morning of the third day, Zhao Xu carried some rice and noodles and went directly to the cave where the "witch" was.

He asked Su Rou to carry other things on her back and walked slowly behind.

Previously, Zhao Xu did not dare to expose his martial arts skills because he was with Zhou Mei.

Now he was alone, carrying rice and noodles with the strength of his feet, and arrived at the five-kilometer journey in less than ten minutes!
