The license plate number of this Toyota Domineering car suddenly stood out, and the driver was tall and thin, with a pale complexion. This was the third time Li Yuanlang saw this man, but it was the first time he saw his frontal appearance.

The man stopped the car, holding his bag in one hand and shaking the car key in the other. Ignoring the presence of Li Yuanlang and Chang Ming, he walked straight to Ma Zesheng and said: "Village Chief Ma, get me four native chickens, kill them and wash them cleanly."

, I'll come and pick it up in the afternoon." He said, pulling out a wad of banknotes from his bag and handing them to Ma Zesheng without even counting them, "That's all, I'll also get some hazelnut mushrooms and wide vermicelli."

Ma Zesheng took it, nodded in agreement, and wanted to introduce Li Yuanlang to the young man. Unexpectedly, the man turned around without looking back, strode into the domineering car, and sped away.

"Who is this person? Why don't you show some courtesy?" Chang Ming muttered dissatisfied.

"Who else could it be?" Ma Zesheng said: "Ma Tang, the eldest son of Secretary Ma's family."

Li Yuanlang was shocked when he heard the name Ma Tang. Not only had he heard about him from Xiao Zhanzhan, but more importantly, Ma Tang looked to be only twenty-five or six years old, several years younger than Gao Yue'e.

Years old, will Ma Shengran agree to be her lover?

Also, Ma Tang and Shang Xiaoyan have contacts. In other words, it is true that their old Ma family has connections in the provincial capital. No wonder Ma Shengran is arrogant and looks down upon by the leaders of Ganping County. The big boss of Guangnan City

He didn't buy it either. It turned out that the person standing behind him was Executive Vice Governor Lu Rongfu.

Li Yuanlang was very puzzled. Normally, Ma Shengran, a township party committee secretary, could have a relationship with the provincial party committee leaders. There were several levels between the deputy provincial and ministerial levels to the department level, and it seemed that he could not get along with them.

"Let's sit in the room for a while." Ma Shengran humbly gave in. Li Yuanlang said that it was better not to sit down because he had to do business first.

So, Ma Shengran gave the money to the old man who was the gatekeeper of the village committee, and ordered him to give the money to the accountant and record it in the account, kill six chickens, stew two, and prepare the remaining four, as well as hazelnut mushrooms and wide vermicelli, etc.

Just bring crabgrass and pick it up.

Because the road up the mountain was difficult, the four of us walked instead of driving.

Ma Zesheng said that in order to reach the land occupied by the Liu family, he had to climb two mountains. Needless to say, he could walk as fast as flying, even though he was over fifty, and it was not difficult to go up the mountain. Han Wei also grew up on the side of the mountain.

He is also a veteran, and his body is quite strong. His expression is almost unchanged even when he is out of breath. He can climb mountains as easily as walking on flat ground. It is extremely easy.

Li Yuanlang was not as good as the two of them, but he was able to walk on and was just out of breath. On the contrary, Chang Ming was far behind. As soon as he climbed a mountain, his legs were so tired that he felt like lead. He couldn't even talk while sitting on a rock.

Rest.

Ma Zesheng advised him, saying that the more he rested, the harder it became to walk, so he had to endure the most difficult period of time, grit his teeth and persevere, and walking would become much easier.

He also broke off a branch for Chang Ming to use as a walking stick, and took care of him while walking to prevent him from falling behind.

After crossing a large mountain, they walked into a larch forest. As they were walking through it, Li Yuanlang's clothes were scratched by branches. When he was getting dressed, he accidentally discovered a strange-looking little flower under his feet. He said it was strange.

This is because the color of the flower is very rare black.

Li Yuanlang was curious and bent down to touch it. Who knew that when someone touched the flower, it magically turned white and emitted a strong medicinal smell, just like the Lysol sprayed in the hospital?

, so mysterious.

When Ma Zesheng saw Li Yuanlang playing with the little flower, he quickly came over and grabbed his wrist, nervously reminding him: "Don't touch it, it's poisonous."

Li Yuanlang was stunned and asked quickly: "What kind of poison?"

Ma Zesheng told him: "We call this thing the wounding grass. It blooms only in this season all year round. Most of it is hidden under the pine trees. It starts with black petals. As soon as a person's hand touches it, it immediately turns white, and then touches it again."

It will turn red, which will release venom. Once this liquid comes into contact with people's skin, it will fester within an hour. If you don't go to the hospital within three hours to get a tetanus shot, it will continue to fester.

It won't stop, the flesh will rot and pus will ooze, until death."

"So awesome!" Chang Ming on the side exclaimed.

Since everything in the world must have its own function, does it have other uses besides hurting people?

"This thing is quite interesting." Ma Zesheng introduced: "You can see that it hurts people when it blooms, but after the flowers wither, it turns into a piece of hay. It is ground up and applied externally to the wound to relieve pain. It is very effective.

The painkillers work well. Therefore, most of us go up the mountain to pick woundwort after the first snowfall in winter. Once this thing touches the snow, it will freeze to death immediately. It is completely free of toxins, so it is safe."

Wounding grass? Li Yuanlang thought, took a photo with his mobile phone and saved it in the photo album. The mobile phone has no signal here. When the signal comes, he will send it to Lang Yingxuan to see if this thing is a traditional Chinese medicine.

On the way to the destination, Li Yuanlang asked again and Lang asked Ma Zesheng, is there a lot of wound grass?

"How should I put it?" Ma Zesheng set up a pergola and looked into the distance. He pointed to the front and said: "There are not many here. There is a large area on the mountain we are going to. But let Liu Wanquan circle it early and specially

Used for digging rocks."

Li Yuanlang was angry and anxious after hearing this. If the woundweed had medicinal value, Liu Wanquan would have done something wrong. Excavating rocks would not only destroy the natural environment, but also cause soil erosion. If large areas of the woundweed were eradicated, this kind of loss would not be possible.

made up for.

Therefore, Li Yuanlang and others quickened their pace, and before twelve o'clock they arrived at the edge of the twenty acres of occupied mountain land.

A high and back wall has been built around this place, and a barbed wire fence has been pulled over it. What's even more annoying is that there is a watchtower at the gate, and there are people watching and patrolling on it. Once someone approaches, the alarm will sound immediately, and then there will be

Pickets wearing red armbands appeared and took away anyone who wanted to enter the mountainous area for interrogation and illegal detention.

Of course, these are what Ma Zesheng told everyone. Whether it is as he said can only be confirmed by giving it a try.

Anyway, Li Yuanlang was hiding in the woods and saw someone on the watchtower, holding something like a pistol in his hand.

"This is a signal gun. It will send out a signal when someone approaches the wall." Ma Zesheng reminded from the side.

Li Yuanlang was just here to take a look, so naturally he would not go to the wall to make test objects. He probably understood it well enough, and he knew that the situation reported by Ma Zesheng was very realistic.

So everyone returned along the original path. During this period, Li Yuanlang encountered the wounding plant again. This time he did not touch it directly with his hands. Han Wei happened to have a plastic bag in his pocket, so he uprooted the wounding plant and packed it with soil.

Put it in a plastic bag and took it back.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the four of them walked back to the village committee of Xiayangma Village. As soon as they entered the compound, they saw the old gatekeeper coming up to him in a hurry and said: "Director, I have stewed two chickens according to your instructions, but

When Crabgrass came to pick up the food, he smelled the aroma and refused to listen to my advice. He ate it alone in the kitchen, which was too much."

"Why don't you just have a bite of chicken? It won't be a big deal." Ma Zesheng waved his hand, and Li Yuanlang immediately followed with a smile, feeling that Ma Tang was really a different person, and he handled things differently from others.

As a result, a few hungry people walked into the small kitchen of the village committee. When they saw the way Crabgrass was eating, they immediately understood that there was a reason why the old gatekeeper said "it's too much".

I saw Crabgrass holding a bowl in his hand, squatting on the stove, and using chopsticks in his hand to have a good meal in the big pot, specifically selecting chicken thighs, chicken wings, breast meat, and chicken bones that are full of meat and easy to chew.

Vomited everywhere on the ground.

Let’s not talk about the ugly appearance of him gobbling it up. After all, no one can eat it after he does it like this. You can eat it if you like. Just take a bowl and eat it by yourself. Don’t stir it in the big pot. It’s not hygienic. It’s not good for others.

What's going on if I indirectly eat your saliva?

Originally, Chang Ming didn't like him, but now that Crabgrass didn't treat him as an outsider, he was completely annoyed. So he came over, knocked on the stove with a walking stick made of branches, and said: "Crabgrass,

You can eat it if you want, but you can eat it from a separate bowl and stir it in a big pot, it’s too uncultured.”

Ma Tang raised his eyelids and looked at Chang Ming, and said disdainfully: "Your name is Chang Ming, right? Village Chief Ma didn't say anything. Who do you think you are? Get out of here. You have no business talking about it."

.”

"You..." Not to be outdone, Chang Ming wanted to go up and argue with Ma Tang, but was stopped by Li Yuanlang, and said coldly to Ma Tang: "Ma Tang, right? Secretary Ma should have taught you since you were a child to steal other people's money.

It's very impolite to eat, and you just grab it, but it's your fault that you grabbed it so confidently, and you were so rude when you spoke, you should apologize to Assistant Chang."

Li Yuanlang's original intention was to ridicule Crabgrass for being uneducated. How could Crabgrass not hear it? He happened to have a chicken bone in his mouth and spat it out in Li Yuanlang's face.

Li Yuanlang stretched out his hand to block him. No matter how patient he was, he couldn't bear Ma Tang spitting at him. He immediately frowned and became angry. Before he could take action to teach Ma Tang a lesson, Han Wei behind Ma Tang suddenly flew up with a kick.

After kicking Crabgrass on the waist, the guy was unprepared. His whole body fell forward and fell directly into the cauldron.

Although the fire in this pot of chicken has been turned off, there are still a few red-hot wooden spoons in the furnace. The pot is steaming, and the chicken soup is boiling and bubbling.

Crabgrass, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, fell into the big pot and was immediately burned and screamed. When Ma Zesheng saw that something was wrong, he quickly pulled him out.

"Oh my god." Crabgrass grinned in pain. His clothes were soaked in oil stains and side dishes such as vermicelli and hazelnut mushrooms. Fortunately, it didn't take long, but the exposed skin was also burnt red.

Crabtail suddenly became furious and rushed towards Han Wei to settle the score. However, Han Wei grabbed his fist and with a little force, Crabgrass split his mouth in pain.
Chapter completed!
