Chapter 1 Zhang Yuan
On the eastern border of Yunhai Forest, there are many villages and some prosperous towns, most of whom make a living by cutting firewood. The mountains and mountains are eaten, and there are endless trees in the forest, which feed many poor woodcutter.
Zhang Yuan, a 15- or 16-year-old teenager. He had a bleak life and had no mother since he was a child. When his life was in danger, he was adopted by a pharmacy boss. The owner of this medicinal material is Zhang Qing. The reason why Zhang Qing adopted Zhang Yuan was that he had no children under his knees. But after adopting Zhang Yuan for several years, his wife gave birth to a man and a woman. From then on, Zhang Yuan was superfluous. Zhang Qing, who loved money as much as his life, was of course harsh on Zhang Yuan after having his own children. Although Zhang Qing is kind, he is very stingy and loves money to death.
Chaoyang Town, on the lively streets, pedestrians come and go. There are all kinds of shops and stalls selling countless items and jewelry. The whole street is prosperous. Many young men and women laugh and talk about the rich, walking hand in hand with each other in the sea of people.
On the street, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy hurriedly walked on the street. This teenager is magnificent and beautiful, which can be compared with others.
This person's name is Zhang Yuan. As Zhang Yuan walked, he thought to himself, "Isn't it just a need to be so angry if he sleeps a little longer? Damn, it's so stingy. I just want to make a fortune for him all day long. If I have the ability to make a fortune, do I still need to stay here? After complaining a few words, Zhang Yuan strode towards Yongqing Pharmacy.
In Yongqing Pharmacy, a fat middle-aged man lies on a chair. With a lazy look, he narrowed his eyes and looked around, constantly looking at every medicinal material in the pharmacy, afraid that a distracting medicinal material would fly away.
After watching for a while, the middle-aged man felt a little bored. So he grabbed a handful of purple jade coins and looked at them carefully. Looking at so many jade coins, the middle-aged man hummed a little song excitedly, with a big belly, and then tasted fragrant tea again. This person is Zhang Qing, Zhang Yuan's adoptive father.
After Zhang Yuan walked into Yongqing Pharmacy, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, my godfather. I'm here to help you."
"Well," Zhang Qing said angrily, "I'll ask you to take a look at the pharmacy at night. You can sleep the next day. Tell you to cut some firewood, and you can push three obstacles. When you do something, you are either tired or sleepy. What do you think is the use of learning those martial arts all day long? Can you support yourself? Do you think it's easy to raise you? Calculate it well. I raised you for fifteen or fifteen or sixteen years. It costs an average of 100 purple jade coins a year, and 1,5006 purple jade coins and 1,5006 purple jade coins in 156 years. What a huge amount of money. Well, you not only don't know the kindness, but also have a problem with me. After saying that, Zhang Qing showed a very helpless look.
Zhang Yuan said, "My adoptive father is as kind to me as a mountain. If you hadn't adopted me, I would have died long ago. I am only grateful to my adoptive father and will never complain."
"It's almost the same. You have a conscience." Zhang Qing stood up from the chair, put his hands on his back, and educated Zhang Yuan again. Zhang Yuan has also been accustomed to the teaching of his adoptive father. For the same reason, my godfather has said the same lines dozens of times, but he still hasn't changed new lines.
Just as Zhang Qing said it was endless, a young man in his 20s came in. Looking at Zhang Qing's behavior, the young man said unhappily, "Zhang is stingy, Zhang Yuan is a very hard-working guy; how can you do this to him? Over the years, although Zhang Yuan has spent some money on you. But he worked hard and did a lot for you, didn't he?
Zhang Qing looked at the young man who walked in and hurriedly said, "Oh, the distinguished guest is coming. No wonder I had a good dream last night. I dreamed that my little medicine shop was golden. It turned out that Mr. Wang was going to visit this shop today."
Zhang Qing was very respectful to Mr. Wang and couldn't wait to put his face on others. Mr. Wang's father is the first master in Chaoyang Town and the only strong man in the town. Zhang Yuan knows nothing about the division of the hierarchy of the strong, just hearsay.
Mr. Wang said impatiently, "Ouch, don't be praised. It's okay. What am I doing here? I have something today that needs to be sold by you.
Hearing that the other party had something to sell to himself, Zhang Qing smiled professionally and said politely, "Mr. Wang, you haven't been to the cold shop for a long time. If you are not in a hurry, please invite the prince to have a cup of tea first.
Looking at his adoptive father's sincere face, Zhang Yuan really can't stand it.
Mr. Wang didn't want to talk more nonsense with Zhang Qing. With a direct wave of his right hand, a large number of items appeared on the ground out of thin air. Zhang Yuan knew that Mr. Wang had space to ring. Zhang Yuan has only heard of this kind of ring, but he hasn't seen it yet. Although Chaoyang Town is not very rich, at least it is also a town. Zhang Yuan has seen a lot of high-end items.
"Wow"
Looking at so many items on the ground, Zhang Qing's big eyes kept spinning. Even Zhang Yuan, who stood aside, stared with big eyes in surprise.
Among the objects on the ground, there are three-color grass, Wulinghua, Yufanglan, Baicao spirit, and some fierce beast's bone fur. All these things are very precious and hard to find. Zhang Yuan grew up in the pharmacy and naturally knew many precious herbs.
Zhang Qing was so excited that he danced and almost hummed a deadly song in the pharmacy. Mr. Wang looked at Zhang Yuan's expressions and couldn't help laughing. These things are valuable to ordinary people, but not a big deal to him. This is the advantage of having a strong father.
"Zhang stingy, you have to give me a real price, otherwise you know the consequences." Mr. Wang smiled and said:
"Of course, of course, I dare not cheat anyone." As Zhang Qing spoke, he picked up a piece of fierce beast bone and knocked and smelled it. As a businessman, Zhang Qing is very delicate. He has to confirm any precious items again and again.
After confirming the bones of the fierce beast, Zhang Qing directly classified the herbs one by one. Looking at Zhang Yuan standing still, Zhang Qing said angrily, "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you come and help?"
Zhang Qing was in a very good mood and forgot to scold Zhang Yuan. If it were usual, there would be a lesson. But today, he has no leisure to talk nonsense to Zhang Yuan.
After hearing his adoptive father's words, Zhang Yuan hurriedly helped his adoptive father classify herbs. Zhang Qing glanced at Zhang Yuan, then looked at Mr. Wang and shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Qing said apologetically: "Let Mr. Wang see a joke. The children of poor families are like this. They haven't seen any big world. Oh, no, that's the child I picked up. I haven't seen any big world.
Mr. Wang smiled and said lightly, "It's okay. I can understand." Although his adoptive father sarcasm, Zhang Yuan did not pay attention to it, because his life was saved by his adoptive father. Not to mention a few words of sarcasm, even if he wanted his own life, he did not complain.
Zhang Yuan was quickly and helped his adoptive father classify the herbs one by one. After half a column of incense time, all the herbs were classified one by one and the price was calculated.
After a sigh of relief, Zhang Qing said to Mr. Wang, "According to the market price, your items are worth 5600 purple jade coins, but you are my nobleman, I will calculate an integer, 6,000 purple jade coins for you."
Mr. Wang Zou said with a frown, "Isn't it a little less? Are these precious things? Especially the bones of this fire phosphorus beast can't be found by ordinary people.
Hearing that Mr. Wang wanted to increase the price, Zhang Qing's expression withered, and his body suddenly became three points shorter. Price increase means making less money, which is worse than killing him.
"Prince Wang, you see, it's not easy for me. After buying your goods, I still have to find a market for sale. I can only give you 62,000 purple jade coins at most. If you are not satisfied, I can't raise the price. Zhang Qing looked at Mr. Wang with a pleading face. After Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, the two sides finally made a deal.
Looking at the distant back of Mr. Wang, Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "I don't know when I will be like this. Tens of thousands of money."
Looking at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Qing's nameless anger rose in his heart. Why did you adopt such a stupid guy?
Zhang Qing said angrily, "The snow grass is gone. You can go to Yunhailin to find some after dinner."
"I know," Zhang Yuan replied: He didn't say much. How can he not bow his head under the eaves?
After hurriedly eating something, Zhang Yuan took the basket and walked towards Yun Hailin. Xuelanca is a kind of herb that grows in cold places. It tastes bitter and cold, and mainly treats qi and blood. Alchemists can also use snowy grass to refine poison elixir, which is not difficult to find.
In the forest of the sea of clouds, the mountains and cliffs are beautiful, and the cliffs are full of strange rocks, and the cliffs are steep. The peaks are undulating, and these undulating mountains and rivers can't be seen at a glance. No one knows where the end of the mountain is, because there are mountains beyond the mountain.
Zhang Yuan once heard that the end of Yunhailin is another continent. Tall trees can be seen everywhere in the Yunhai Forest. In addition to the tall trees, all kinds of weeds and moss are everywhere. The breeze blew, and the dense branches made a rustling sound, and occasionally a few birdsong came from the distance.
In the big mountain forest, only Zhang Yuan is alone, and uneasy panic always emerges in his heart. Although I am in awe of this forest, I have to come.
After walking for a while, Zhang Yuan gradually entered the deep mountains. The tall ancient trees covered the sky and the sun. Some ancient trees grew on the top of the mountain, like a welcome pine. Some trees grow at the bottom of the valley and look high, like a green sea. Despite the sun, the forest is still gloomy and cool.
