Chapter 1472: Homestays and Melon Fields

~8 min read 1,436 words

Honestly, Dr. Guo didn't dare to say she was very excellent at treating illnesses, but she was quite good at regulating the body.

At this moment, she took the pulse on both the left and right hands in turn, then looked at the tongue coating, and she had a good idea in her heart. After explaining the symptoms like this, Xiao Cai's mother was full of conviction and nodded repeatedly.

She even took the initiative to say: "Doctor, prescribe me some medicine!"

Dr. Guo laughed: "Auntie, medicine is three-tenths poison. You don't have to take medicine for this small problem. Go to the park and dance and sing with others, shout a bit, lift your middle energy, and discharge waste gas; your heart will naturally be comfortable."

In the end, it was just that the middle energy wasn't smooth; there really wasn't any big problem.

"Try it for a while first. If it's still ineffective, wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival when there are moxa sticks here, and you can come over and I'll give you moxibustion twice."

Xiao Cai's mother was quite conflicted: If the doctor prescribed medicine, she felt it was to make money. But if she didn't prescribe medicine, she felt uncomfortable. At this moment, she asked again: "Can't I do moxibustion now? Tell me how much it costs!"

Dr. Guo shook her head: "These moxa sticks were taken from the pharmacy, and the effect isn't as good as the ones on the mountain here. But our local moxa sticks won't be made until after the Dragon Boat Festival. Don't spend this money now. If we do it, we'll do it with good effects. It's just that the price is a bit expensive; see if you can find time then."

As she spoke, she also pointed to the QR code on the side: "When adding friends, make a note of your name and symptoms; I need to record them here."

How sincere these words were!

So, unknowingly, everyone also raised their mobile phones.

Some were interested in traditional Chinese medicine, and some were not.

By the time Xiao Cai and her group came out of the clinic, those who had brought cups had all received a full cup of hawthorn tea, only to find that the number of tourists on the road had increased.

Most of them were young people, dragging their families along, and there were quite a few middle-aged and elderly people. Perhaps because they came to the countryside, they were actually quite passionate.

The same thing was that everyone was holding a plastic bag and a small shovel, and some people started digging on both sides of the road:

"The season is wrong; this shepherd's purse is old... Oh my! There's a tender one."

"There's dandelion here; dig some. I've been getting inflamed lately."

"Why isn't this place famous? The air is so good. If we came in March, we could find some bracken."

"Don't dig yet; let's go to the canteen to see. I don't know what they give for 30 yuan. If it's not good, I brought eggs and cucumbers myself."

"There's no scenery to see either... didn't they say there are many flowers?"

"Mom, there's wheat in the field!"

"Hahaha, silly girl, that's wild grass! No one plants that land... there will definitely be wild vegetables later; Mom will take you to dig for wild vegetables."

"Be careful, the wild grass is deep; I don't know if there are snakes."

"The guide says they've done insect and snake repellent... it's okay, wait a minute and find a long tree branch to beat it again."

"Also, since we're here, being afraid of this and that won't be fun... but do you know how to recognize wild vegetables?"

"..."

"Whatever, I'll dig first. Didn't they say someone helps identify them?"

Chatting and talking, everyone suddenly stopped again.

Because deep in the fork of the main road, a seven-colored building like a fairy tale castle was hidden in the overlapping flowers, exceptionally dreamy, and even a bit out of place with the countryside.

"Mom! It's a castle!"

"Let me see... the sign says it's a homestay. Let's go, let's go see."

The late spring of May was exactly the most beautiful time for homestays. The Chinese roses were blooming enthusiastically at this moment, and the hydrangeas were also densely clustered in large flowers, choosing tourists. There were large patches of wisteria hanging down on the corridor, and the blue snow flowers could only rank behind because the petals were too sticky...

Not to mention that there were tropical plants of various shapes inside, with distinct layers, high aesthetics, and a harmonious and natural combination, with a breathtaking beauty.

"Wow..."

Everyone stopped, their hearts full of exclamation at this moment.

And before entering this flower scene, huge signs also reminded tourists one by one not to climb or break them at will, including some famous products and clearly marked prices. There were surveillance cameras everywhere. When most young people were educating their children with quality education, the older aunts didn't move their hands at will, but instead took out gauze scarves from their bags...

Xiao Cai also exclaimed: "Mom, scan this QR code; they teach you how to pose with gauze scarves in the flowers!"

Once this was said, quite a few old ladies gathered around: "Where, where? How do you pose?"

Some people even went directly into the homestay, looked at the equally exquisitely decorated indoor environment, and asked curiously: "How much does it cost to stay here for one night?"

Lu Jing laughed: "Sorry, the homestay has been booked until the end of May, so it's full for now and we can't host you."

"As for the price, ours is on the high side, starting at 999 yuan—there is another homestay in the village, and you can book a room for over a hundred."

Hiss!

This countryside is quite daring to ask for prices!

Even if the person asking wasn't short of money, they couldn't stay in a local rural homestay for 999 a night! After going out and saying this, everyone calmed down.

But—

It's already fully booked; isn't this village only recently becoming popular?

The homestay was surrounded by flower scenery on all sides. Everyone spent an hour or so just taking pictures here. Xiao Cai's mobile phone battery was already in jeopardy, and her mother was still posing with the neighbor aunt...

She really didn't dare to take any more pictures, so she looked into the distance.

"Hey?" She asked curiously: "Chen Yunyun, is that the melon field you guys were talking about?"

She pointed to the mountain road winding up behind the homestay.

Chen Yunyun was also taking pictures for her grandma, and her dad was only busy taking pictures for her mom. Hearing this, she looked up: "It really is!"

The two looked at each other and quickly asked: "Mom, it seems to be a melon field on the mountain; do you want to go see?"

They came early, and there was still a long time before lunch, so the two families calculated: "Let's go! Let's go see!"

The back mountain was the mountain that belonged to Old Man Li before. Now, after half a year of cleaning up, the old tea stumps that grew scattered before had been trimmed and had become a large, neat tea mountain.

There were also some small tea seedlings planted. Because they hadn't grown up yet, watermelons were interplanted inside. It was also surrounded by a fence, with only a small duty post inside.

After all, although the place was small, the future economic benefits wouldn't be bad.

Now, during the May Day holiday, the first batch of early melons had ripened sporadically and could already be sold on the market. If it weren't for the traffic jam on the road during the May Day holiday, Boss Chang should have brought people rushing over by now.

But even so, they wouldn't be sold sporadically to tourists. If that were the case, the things planted by the people in the village would be picked at.

Therefore, when Xiao Cai and Chen Yunyun took their families up the mountain for a turn, they found the fence locked, and people were not allowed to go to the melon field at all.

"Oh my!" The diabetic grandma was craving it: "These melons look ripe, why is no one selling them... Yunyun, your code didn't say that."

Chen Yunyun was lowering her head and searching wildly: "It says it's a private farm surrounded by fences, only for booked customers, not for retail."
