17 Death Drug Picker

A month later.

Medicine collection hall, small courtyard stone house.

"It's not as dangerous as you think! We went to the mountain this month and did almost nothing, so we easily got the reward of more than 200 copper coins. The three-year exercise period for drug-picking boys passed quickly, and they can also accumulate a lot of copper money. When we become pharmaceutical apprentices, we will definitely earn more. It's no problem to ask for a beautiful little daughter-in-law!"

Feng Xiao proudly threw a small purse and said happily in front of Ye Qin.

Because Feng Xiao "floated around" on the way to collect medicine, and occasionally picked some low-level herbs, the reward money he received was the most among the four. Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying are less, and there are also more than 145 pieces. Ye Qin carried a herbal medicine basket on his back, and no herb was picked. He only got more than 100 copper coins.

After returning to the county, Xie Ze paid rewards according to their contributions.

Ye Qin smiled, a little bitter.

Who let him practice hard work? During the exercise period of the drug collection boy, he is the least-paid person in the middle of the people. After three years, I will become a pharmaceutical apprentice, and I'm afraid the result will be the same. The reason is very simple. The internal skills he practice are not very suitable for taking medicine. Feng Xiao practiced light kung fu, which is the most suitable one.

With a bang, Yang Yicheng pushed open the wooden door from the outside and came in. His face was gloomy and his eyes were distracted. Without saying a word, he climbed into his bed, lay ** with his back to them, and didn't say anything.

"Oh, big brother, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Feng Xiao shouted strangely.

Ye Qin took a look. It's also strange. I have known Yang Yicheng for so long. I have never seen him lose his temper like this. It's only been two days since I came back from outside. I also got a hundred copper coins. Why did you go out tonight? When he came back, his mood became so bad for no reason.

Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying also came in from the outside at this time.

Ye Qin and Feng Xiao couldn't help looking at the two of them.

Qian Ruoxiu's lips are a little white.

"Dead. Two of them are dead!"

Feng Xiao was shocked. Die~. What killed two?"

"The other teams that went out to collect medicine have returned, but two drug collection boys have died. One of them also knew the eldest brother, a partner who grew up with him.

Qian Ruoxiu's eyes burst into tears.

Zhuqi County is so big that many children in the county know each other. Even if there is no friendship, I have seen it more or less.

Feng Xiao was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his mind.

Ye Qin was also stunned. It was only a month, and two people died. After the end of the three-year exercise period, how much can these more than 40 drug-picking boys survive?

Ye Qin couldn't help feeling that his body seemed to be a little cold, and the air in the stone house was a little cold.

It's not a rumor that the drug boy will die nine times.

Ye Qin was not scared by the bad news and asked calmly.

"How did those two medicine boys die?"

Qian Ruoxiu shook his head.

"I don't know. After the medicine boys of those teams came back, they looked more depressed than the eldest brother, but they refused to say anything. However, listening to their tone, it seems that they fell to his death while collecting some precious medicinal herbs.

Ye Qin shook his head, and the fool also knew that they had taken medicine and died. Otherwise, the medicine boy who has practiced martial arts for more than half a year, and there is also a pharmacist who has stronger martial arts. How can he die so easily?

He said, "We must know how they died before we can find a way to avoid danger again. Fourth and fifth sister, you are from the county. If you are familiar with the situation here, you can ask the medicine boy you know about the specific process.

Yang Yicheng suddenly turned over, and there were a few traces of blood in his eyes. No need to ask, I know how they died!"

Ye Qin looked at him in surprise.

Yang Yicheng said hatefully, "I know the boys of those two teams. One of them said that they found a century-old precious black grass on a cliff in a secluded valley. But it is almost steep in the air, and the rock is very sharp, the wind knife is very sharp, and it is very easy to cut the rope. That Cai (full text is small???,? In ар.16κ.(1(6)κ.. Text.? W?) The pharmacist himself didn't want to take risks, so he sent a medicine boy who was good at light work. As a result, he was scraped off the valley and lost his life. Another team found a rare medicinal herb in the river valley. It was also because the pharmacist was unwilling to take risks and sent my brother who could light kung fu. As a result, he failed and was washed away by the water in the blink of an eye. None of these pharmacists are good things. Take the lives of us boys for their safety!"

Ye Qin, Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying, after hearing this, couldn't help looking back at Feng Xiao in the stone house in surprise.

Among them, Feng Xiao is the only one who can do light work. If there is a day when the pharmacist Xie Ze also needs someone to replace him to take the risk of collecting medicine... The first one is Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao Zao's face was pale and scared. He held his head and dared not listen, "How could this happen? Isn't it good? Why do you want to die if it's good? His previous happy mood of taking 200 copper coins is completely gone. If you lose your life, what's the use of this money?

Ye Qin was silent.

He thought of a further question. If Feng Xiao dies, who will replace him next? I guess it's someone between Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying. Their skills are flexible and agile. Then Yang Yicheng and him, who only had physical strength. Every time he dies, he is in danger.

So in any case, Feng Xiao must be kept. Only if Feng Xiao doesn't die, everyone will be safe.

Ye Qin told Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and Yang Yicheng about this idea, and they all agreed and were willing to try their best to keep Feng Xiao.

I rested in the county for two or three days.

Xie Ze wants to go into the mountain to collect medicine, and the five of them will naturally set out again and go into the deep mountain to collect medicine. However, this time they were no longer idle, but heavy-minded. From time to time, they secretly looked at Xie Ze with strange eyes, as if he were a cannibal.

Especially Feng Xiao, he was extremely depressed and was not in the mood to use his light kung fu to pick up any herbs. He couldn't wait that he couldn't do light work at all, so as not to die quickly.

Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying are not in the mood to catch insects, snakes and beasts.

Although they are only eleven or twelve years old, most of them grew up from poor backgrounds and have matured in some aspects. Be very wary of those who are malicious.

Xie Ze had seen their strange expressions and knew the reason, but he ignored them at all and walked slowly. He just occasionally sneered secretly and said in his heart: What about me beingware of me? When it is time to use you, you will naturally use it. Can you still resist?

Only Ye Qin, who followed Xie Ze five steps behind with the herbal basket on his back, always kept a low profile.

Spring to winter, year after year.

The three-year exercise period for the drug collection boy passed quickly.

In the past three years, sometimes several medicine-picking boys will die in a month, and sometimes a medicine-picking boy will die in a few months. It all depends on whether they will encounter precious medicinal herbs, whether the place where the medicinal herbs grow is extremely dangerous, and whether the drug collection boy sent to the stage will fail. If the above three points do not appear, people will not die under normal circumstances.

In the first year, the medicine boy did not have enough experience, and the most died, with a total of seven. In the next two years, the number of deaths began to decrease significantly, but there were always a few in a year.

Ye Qin's team is a little lucky.

In the past three years, Xie Ze has only let Feng Xiao replace him five times.

Feng Xiao was timid. Under the instnation of Yang Yicheng, after knowing that he could not get rid of the fate of replacement, he practiced light kung fu with grief and indignation, and practiced the ladder cloud to the third level. With his playful nature, it is not easy to practice to the third level.

Coupled with the full help of Ye Qin, Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and others, they survived the three-year period of children's exercise.
