Rural Doctor's Romance

3The group of six rested by the roadside for half an hour before starting to pack their luggage. Carrying a large bag on their backs, they headed towards the Hundred Flowers Mountain behind Peach Blossom Village Village under Zhou Yamei's lead.     3

    

At the foot of the mountain in the Hundred Flowers Mountain, Zhou Yamei called out to everyone, "The road to the valley is not easy to walk down. Everyone be careful."    

    

"Got it. Girl, you lead the way in front." After Zhou Henan told his daughter, he looked at his son. "Ya Jun, follow your sister."    

    

"Okay!"    

    

The group of six, led by Zhou Yamei, slowly headed towards the foot of Hundred Flowers Mountain.    

    

After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the bottom of the valley.    

    

It was almost midnight, and the temperature in the valley was relatively low.    

    

Everyone felt a little chilly. In addition, it was already November, and it was the beginning of winter at the end of autumn. The temperature had dropped a lot compared to summer.    

    

Hong Wenxiu did not wear much clothes, so she was shivering from the cold.    

    

"Dad, why is it so cold here!"    

    

Boss Hong gave a coat from his backpack to his daughter. "Girl, put it on quickly."    

    

"Okay!"    

    

After putting on her father's windproof coat, she felt warmer.    

    

Actually, Zhou Yamei also felt that the temperature in the valley at night was lower than during the day. Fortunately, she brought a jacket with her when she came out.    

    

Wearing a jacket, it was not so cold.    

    

Because the valley was too dark, Zhou Henan asked everyone to take out the torchlight that they carried with them and continue on their journey with the torchlight.    

    

Zhou Yamei was the one who walked at the front and led everyone towards the north of the valley.    

    

She had been here three or four times and was more familiar with the terrain of the valley.    

    

"Dad, the place where the red earthworms are raised is in a bamboo forest in the north of the valley. It will take about 40 minutes to walk from here."    

    

"Okay, girl, lead the way. Let's catch those things earlier and leave the valley as soon as possible. "    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Thus, she led everyone towards the north of the valley.    

    

Along the way, Boss Hong and Wang Peiyuan saw that the valley was filled with especially huge plants, as well as huge trees that were more than ten meters tall. Both of them were very surprised.    

    

"Elder Wang, this place is a little strange. The plants we saw along the way are several times bigger than the ones outside."    

    

"That's right! This valley is indeed strange."    

    

"How about we pick some plant samples and bring them back?"    

    

"Sure!"    

    

Thus, the two squatted down and wanted to pluck some of the plants in the valley.    

    

However, these things were especially sturdy, and their roots were especially deep, making it impossible to pull them out.    

    

Wang Peiyuan took out a knife, cut some of the weeds' vines, and put them in his backpack.    

    

Boss Hong cut a weed and put it in a plastic bag. He put it in his backpack.    

    

Zhou Henan saw Boss Hong and Wang Peiyuan picking plants in the valley. Although he felt uncomfortable, he did not say anything.    

    

He told everyone to hurry up.    

    

"Dad, another thirty meters from here will be a farm that the villagers have set up in the valley. There, many crops are planted in the village. "    

    

" This valley is very strange. The crops in the valley will grow very big after growing in the valley. They will be at least three to five times bigger than the original ones. "    

    

"Some time ago, everyone planted cucumbers, eggplants, corn, and green peppers in the valley. They are all very big. This corn is actually thicker than a person's thigh. I wonder how it grew out. "    

    

Zhou Yamei told everyone about the planting of plants and crops in the valley. Everyone was very curious.    

    

Boss Hong asked, "Yamei, I think this type of crop has mutated. Can it be eaten so big?"    

    

"Uncle Hong, of course it can be eaten. A few days ago, a lot of it had been stolen. I heard that there were wild boars roaming in the valley, stealing these things. Later, Mao Xiaojun went into the valley in the middle of the night and really caught a wild boar."    

    

" Ah! There was a wild boar in this valley? Isn't that very big?"    

    

When Zhou Yajun heard that there were wild boars, he was a little afraid.    

    

Wild boars were very fierce. In such a remote place, if the wild boar was frightened, it might attack people.    

    

At that time, no one would be able to fight against such a powerful beast. If they were not careful, they might even lose their lives.    

    

"Brother, don't be afraid. The wild boar that Mao Xiaojun caught back then was indeed very big. It probably weighed a few hundred catties. Everyone in the village gathered together to eat the entire pig meal. They've been eating it for a few days. "    

    

"However, ever since we caught that wild boar, the valley did not lose cucumbers, corn, and eggplants."    

    

After Zhou Yamei said that, Zhou Yajun felt relieved.    

    

He was a famous young talent in the medical field, and he was also the hospital's vice dean. If he ran into a wild boar and got injured or disabled, it would not be worth it.    

    

They walked forward for a few minutes and Hong Wenxiu suddenly shouted, "Does everyone smell something strange?"    

    

Boss Hong also said, "Yes, I smell it too."    

    

Wang Peiyuan also smelled it. "It smells a little like the fragrance of beverages. It's quite comfortable."    

    

Zhou Henan nodded. "It's probably the fragrance of some plant that bloomed in the valley. Everyone, let's continue on our way."    

    

However, Zhou Yamei felt that it was strange. "Dad, I've been to the valley a few times, but I've never smelled such a scent."    

    

" Girl, maybe this kind of flower will only bloom at night. If the flower doesn't bloom, you won't be able to smell it. "    

    

Zhou Yamei thought about it and thought that this might be the reason.    

    

Hence, she did not say anything else and continued to lead everyone on their way.    

    

After walking for a while, she lit the flashlight and shone it in front of them.    

    

She saw the planting base that was opened up in the valley, as well as a seedling incubation base. In addition, there were a few small wooden houses built by villagers in the distance.    

    

"Dad, we'll be there in front."    

    

"Okay!"    

    

Zhou Yamei then turned to the rows of wooden houses in the distance with her flashlight.    

    

"Look, there are wooden houses built by the villagers over there. They usually work in the valley. If they are tired, they can go to the wooden houses to rest for a while."    

    

"How about we go there to rest for a while and then continue our journey?"    

    

Zhou Henan nodded. "OK. Everyone should rest for a while and drink some water before rushing."    

    

The six of them soon entered the planting base.    

    

Zhou Yajun used his flashlight to illuminate the area. He found that it was very big.    

    

"Sister, I looked over here. It's no less than ten acres of land. This place is quite big!"    

    

" When I came here, the villagers were already done. Look, it really does have a bit of scale, like a small farm. Sis Xiu in the village said that in the future, we have to expand the base here and recruit more farmers to work here."    

    

" Yes, this is a good idea. "    

    

The siblings were chatting when Hong Wenxiu suddenly shouted," Look, there are a few people in front of us. They are coming towards us with torches in their hands. "
