Chapter 9 is all I need!
Near the end of the month, a heavy rain finally arrived.
On this rainy night, Zhao Yang's other organ, the kidney, also broke through to a fullness of ten percent, becoming perfect and flawless!
The kidney is in charge of storing essence, governing bone growth and producing marrow, it is the foundation of the latter heaven, and belongs to water in the five elements.
At the moment when his kidney energy and blood reached perfection, Zhao Yang not only felt that his kidneys had become much stronger, but also that the bones inside his body seemed to have become denser, and his mind had become clearer and more agile than ever before!
And, the kidney Qi and heart Qi, one yin and one yang, formed a cycle like Taiji in his abdomen! Once this cycle is formed, the flow of Qi and blood in the body is affected, becoming more regular, and his entire temperament becomes much softer.
Perhaps it was a premonition, or perhaps it was due to the fact that he had been wholeheartedly practicing the "Xiangyuan Method" that this time his kidneys reached perfection, only making Zhao Yang feel a moment of excitement, and after spending some time experiencing the changes in his body, his mood returned to its usual calm state.
The rain stopped in the second half of the night, but it started again in the afternoon of the next day, only with a smaller force.
Pushing open the door, the orchard was full of vitality, and the peaches hanging on the branches seemed to have grown a lot overnight. Looking far away, Yulong Mountain and the village were all shrouded in mist, and the sound of Yulong Waterfall could be heard clearly.
In rural areas, as soon as it rains, unless grain is being dried outside, people will become idle.
Outside, the rain hit the glass with the wind and fell on the fruit trees, making it even more quiet.
In the house, Zhao Yang pinched a silver needle and stabbed it into the air, silently pondering the subtleties of the needle technique.
Time and time again, the dull practice, Zhao Yang felt endless charm. He found that every time he made a move, the Taiji circulation formed in his abdomen would emit a burst of energy that would condense on the silver needle!
This air is extremely thin, but it's incredibly pure. Zhao Yang can feel its effects: stimulating potential and improving his physique!
It is especially important to tap into one's potential! When a person is critically ill, tapping into the patient's potential can completely overcome life and death!
Improving physical fitness is also very important. People who are ill will suffer varying degrees of damage to their constitution, and being able to recover and improve their physical fitness during treatment is even better!
Zhao Yang thought again that the effect of acupuncture seemed similar to his "Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Wan" which he had made a few days ago.
"The true form of 'Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Wan' is actually 'Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Dan', a type of dan medicine. However, Zhao Yang didn't have the equipment to refine the dan, so he simplified it into Da Mi Wan, which has the same effect but takes longer to work and leaves behind medicinal residue."
Zhao Yang thought that he could use this acupuncture technique on Zhu Yuanbi today, and it would surely accelerate her recovery! But before that, he could practice it in person first.
On rainy days, all the chickens in Zhao Yang's house hid in the west wing of the barn.
As soon as Zhao Yang entered the barn, Xiao Hong started clucking excitedly, like a guardian deity of those hens. Zhao Yang's heart was delighted - it was you!
The commotion caused by catching Little Red startled the chickens, but Zhao didn't care and took Little Red back into the house.
The two major organs' Qi and blood are full, making the mirror-like surface of Jinghu technique even clearer. The clarity is roughly similar to looking at a candle flame through white paper, which is sufficient for observing the flow of Qi and blood on the chicken's body!
Zhao Yang took out a thin silver needle and stabbed it into Xiao Hong's back.
At first, Xiaohong continued to wail and struggle, but after the needle was inserted into her body, she closed her eyes, looking very comfortable.
Zhao Yang carefully observed the changes in Xiao Hong's body, and soon discovered that the gas inside her body had become much thicker, and the speed of blood flow had also accelerated.
As the flow of qi and blood accelerates, the movement of internal organs in Xiaohong's body also becomes more powerful, and some turbid air that has accumulated in unremarkable corners is slowly pushed out!
Zhao Yang's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he grabbed Xiao Hong, took a big step to the door, and threw Xiao Hong out of the door with force!
Only Xiao Hong was pulled up in mid-air!
Zhao Yang secretly sighed at his own cleverness and quick thinking, otherwise the house would have been in trouble!
It's just the right time to feed the chickens, so Zhao Yang first herded the still jumping and playing Little Red into the woodshed, took out a bowl of food for them. Suddenly, he had an idea and mixed in one quarter of the "Rebirth Pill" into the chicken feed.
The needle that had been tied by Xiaohong could no longer be used, Zhao Yang put away the "Xiaohong Needle" he had named it, and suddenly saw busy Little Hei!
From now on, there is another "little black needle" that can't be given to others!
In the late afternoon, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Zhao Bingxing looked up at the sky and said, "Tomorrow morning, let's get up a bit earlier and pick some ripe peaches to sell in town first!"
After a rain shower, the peach seems to have grown a bit bigger and become even more tender.
At over seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yang and his family picked more than 400-500 catties of early peaches from their two mu land, then he and his father pushed a flatbed cart loaded with them to the town.
Zhao Bingxing hesitated and asked on the way: "Isn't four yuan too expensive?"
"It's not expensive! These are the first batch of peaches from our local area, and we didn't use any pesticides, so you can rest assured!"
The peaches were pulled to a street corner in the town, and the fresh and refreshing peaches instantly attracted many people to gather around. However, when they heard that it was four yuan per kilogram, they all shouted that it was too expensive.
An aunt said: "Four yuan is too expensive! The peaches from other places in our market are also less than two yuan!"
Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Auntie, those are peaches from the greenhouse, they look good but don't taste as good as our local peaches! Moreover..." He pointed to the fresh branches and leaves of the peaches and solemnly said, "My family's peaches guarantee no use of pesticides!"
That old lady shook her head and muttered, "Who knows if there's any pesticide? It's too expensive, it's too expensive!"
The town's consumption level is not high, and spending four yuan to buy a pound of peaches makes most people feel it's not worth it. Someone asked if they could be cheaper, Zhao Yang just smiled and shook his head.
People dispersed quickly. A few people came later and asked about the price, they also left.
Zhao Bingxing held a cigarette in his mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, it just wouldn't light.
After Zhao Yang's treatment and taking medicine every day, Zhao Bingxing clearly felt that his lungs were getting more and more comfortable, and his body was also getting better.
But there is also a bad point, that is, although I want to smoke, once I start smoking, I feel nauseous and can only pinch it off after two mouthfuls.
"Let's sell it cheaper then!"
Zhao Yang calmly said: "No need to rush, good things must be sold at a good price!"
At this time a car stopped by, and a man in his thirties got out of the car and asked: "Fellow countryman, how much are these peaches?"
"Four yuan a catty, just picked, no pesticides!"
The man took one and looked at it, saying: "It's really fresh! It's just a bit expensive... Hmm, give me 50 yuan worth!"
Zhao Bingxing was overjoyed and quickly grabbed a bag to weigh 12.5 catties, finally adding another peach.
But by lunchtime, the deal was done.
At noon, the two took out the big pancake made by Sun Zhenxiang and had a delicious meal with Zhao Yang's special braised meat.
Zhao Bingxing brought up the old topic again and said: "Xiaoyang, you also saw that at such a high price, no one will buy it! Why not sell it cheaper?"
Zhao Yang took a big bite of the pancake, grabbed a piece of meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling: "Expensive? I think it's still cheap!"
They were eating, five young people, four girls and one boy, surrounded them, one of the girls wearing glasses looked at the basket of peaches and said: "It's this! Our director bought these peaches!"
Another thin girl laughed and said: "Xianxian, when it comes to eating, your eyes are really sharp!"
Xian Xian pinched the girl's waist and scolded with a smile: "You dare to laugh at me! From now on, you won't be able to eat the delicious food I buy!"
The thin girl begged for mercy.
Zhao Yang swallowed the food in his mouth and stood up, smiling as he looked at them.
One of them, a woman in her late 20s dressed in formal attire, asked: "Is it true that the peaches from your family's orchard are pesticide-free?"
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Right! You should have eaten it before? Doesn't the taste feel different?"
The woman in formal attire glanced at him with a slender gaze and said, "Can't you make it cheaper?"
Zhao Yang smiled and shook his head, "A penny for a penny's worth of goods, you should know that this green fruit is already very cheap at this price!"
Taking a step forward with a raised chest, she said: "The four of us beautiful women have come to buy your things, can't you give us a discount?"
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "These are the first batch of peaches from our family, each one is so lovely and charming. How can you bear to lower their value?"
"Wow, such beautiful fruit is just perfect for us four beauties! You should give us a discount so we can buy more!"
The smallest of the four also said: "Yes, you can sell it to us at a lower price?"
The other two girls also said: "Yes, our director has already bought so many just now, and we are here to buy again. Can't you sell us at a cheaper price?"
"We'll buy it and advertise for you, so more people will buy your peaches. Shouldn't that make them cheaper?"
……
In front of him, the girls were chattering away, but Zhao Yang stubbornly resisted their verbal barrage, his face a picture of calmness, seemingly unaffected.
At this time, the only male among the five people, in his early twenties, a bit fat, suddenly let out a cold snort and said: "Don't listen to him! Didn't you spray pesticides? Without spraying pesticides, there wouldn't be a single bug eye or bug rust on the peaches?"
Four girls looked at each other in dismay and then turned their attention to the boy. Xianxian asked in confusion, "Yang Mi, do you understand any of this?"
Yang Mi's face showed some self-satisfaction, and she raised her chin slightly at Zhao Yang, saying disdainfully: "You dare say that this peach hasn't been sprayed with pesticides? I'm telling you, my sister is in the town's Food and Drug Administration!"
Zhao Yang smiled slightly, picked up a peach and took a bite. Because of the rain, the fuzz on the peach had been washed away. He pointed to the basket of peaches and said calmly: "You can pick some at random for inspection. If it's found that we used pesticides, these peaches will be free for you!"
Yang Mi raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, you're the one who said it!"
He picked up three or four peaches that looked perfectly fine and took off running westward.
Xianxian watched Zhao Yang crunching on a peach, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and carefully asked: "Are you sure your peaches haven't been sprayed with pesticides?"
Zhao Yang nodded and handed her another one. "Try it, the ones with pesticide don't have such a pure taste!"
She brought it under her nose and sniffed, then resolutely said: "Let's wait a bit!"
Zhao Yang finished eating a peach and then saw a young mother holding a red-faced child running over.
The little child, who looked like he was two or three years old, struggled and wailed loudly in his mother's arms. His mother was anxious and heartbroken, with sweat all over her face.
"Uncle, can I have a peach branch?"
Zhao Bingxing hastily picked up a peach branch and handed it over.
The woman in formal attire frowned and said: "Sister, your child is sick! Why don't you take him to the hospital instead of holding a peach branch?"
Young mother put peach branches into the child's small hands, anxiously saying: "Go wash your hands! Just got vaccinated! Don't know if it's because of evil spirits or crying... Oh oh, Niu Niu be good, don't cry..."
The child looked at the peach branch in his hand and threw it away again. He still kicked his legs painfully and cried loudly.
Four girls flooded with motherly love, walked up and teased that child, but the kid cried even more violently!
"Come on, give it to me, I'll show it to your kid!"
The mother looked up at Zhao Yang and saw his warm and calm smile, feeling inexplicably at ease, she unconsciously handed the child over to him.
Zhaoyang has just used Jinghu technique to observe him. The child should not have any serious illness, but the Qi mechanism in his body is a bit disordered and congested in his lungs.
The child was held in Zhao Yang's arms, looked up at him, opened his mouth, and surprisingly didn't cry anymore. The several people opposite were stunned.
Zhao Yang was coaxing the child while gently pinching his back and then grabbed one of his little legs to lift him upside down!
The four girls were all astonished with their mouths wide open. The child's mother hastily said: "You!" and rushed forward to grab the child!
Zhao Yang dodged to one side, but his arm was pinched hard by the child's mother. He frowned and remained still, stretching out his left hand to gently pat the child's buttocks.
The child straightened up and coughed out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
Zhao Yang hastily returned the child to his mother, turned over his arm and saw that five blood prints had appeared on it. He rubbed them gently and saw a Volkswagen car slowly driving by on the opposite side. His eyesight was very good, and he seemed to see an old man inside staring at this side.
The mother took over the child, bowed her head and looked at him. The child's complexion had miraculously returned to normal, and his breathing was no longer as urgent as before!
It wasn't until then that she realized she had scratched Zhao Yang's arm. She naturally knew that Zhao Yang was just trying to do what was best for the child and hadn't meant to hurt him. Looking at her son who had returned to normal, she felt even more guilty. "Big brother, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Zhao Yang smiled and shook his head, picked up a peach and handed it to the child, saying: "Uncle invites you to eat peaches, do you like them?"
The child looked at his mother, took the peach and said in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle!"
"That mother lovingly scolded: 'You're quite impolite!'"
As she spoke, she began to pull out money from her pocket. Zhao Yang smiled and said: "That peach was a gift for the child, no need to pay!"
Suddenly, a soft "ai" sound was heard, and it turned out that the child had already hugged the peach and started eating.
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, our peaches really haven't been sprayed with pesticides!"
Her face turned red and she said: "I'm not afraid that the peaches aren't clean... Yang Qian, we're here!"
It was that "Yang Mi" who came over with her sister.
Zhao Yang ignored them and asked the little boy with his head down: "Is the peach delicious?"
The kid said: "Delicious!"
"Then give Uncle a bite, okay?"
The child looked at him and handed over a peach with bite marks all over it.
Zhao Yang gently patted his head and praised: "Niu Niu is so well-behaved! Uncle doesn't eat, Uncle's house has a lot! You give it to Mommy to eat!"
The little boy handed the peach to his mother again, and she looked at him with affectionate eyes. She lightly bit into it, pretending to have taken a big bite, and said: "Mommy ate it, Niu Niu is really Mommy's good son!"
Seeing Yang Qian standing in front of their car, Zhao Bingxing felt a bit nervous, but Yang Qian pointed to the two baskets of peaches and said: "We want all these peaches!"
Zhao Bingxing couldn't believe his ears and asked incredulously: "All of them?"
Yang Qian nodded, but Xian Xian reacted quickly and asked urgently: "Yang Qian, what's going on? Is the examination over?"
Yang Qian nodded and said affirmatively: "There's no pesticide residue at all!"
Fruits that are generally sprayed with pesticides will have some residue left, as long as it doesn't exceed a certain amount, it's considered qualified. What she said is not entirely accurate, just because there's no detectable residue doesn't mean no pesticide was used at all.
Zhao Bingxing advised, "Miss, this car has four or five hundred catties of peaches. Where can you finish eating them all? If you like them, we'll come again tomorrow. You'd better buy a little less!"
After hearing Zhao Bingxing say he would come again tomorrow, several of them felt more at ease.
"Hey, big brother, don't worry! It's not just me who wants it. Our department, the agricultural center, and even the family planning center are all going to try some! With so many people, we won't get much each, and if we take it back home to share, there'll be even less!"
Zhao Bingxing was overjoyed and couldn't close his mouth, hastily saying: "That's great, that's great!"
"Hey, no way! We came first, you can't have it all! You're a sly one, Yang Mi, taking advantage of us and then turning on us!"
"Yang Mi" hastily said: "I've already told sister about it, how dare I not let a few sisters buy a few catties to taste?"
"This is more like it!"
At this time, the mother who brought the child also asked weakly: "Can I buy a few catties for the child to eat?"
Seeing more people gathering around, Yang Qian said neatly: "First push it to our place and then divide!"
P.S: The work was censored and I'm very angry. Today, I turned sorrow into motivation and wrote 4,800 words~~~
