18 parted ways

After the three-year exercise period, all the more than 20 or 30 children who survived, after the evaluation of the deputy head of the medicine collection hall, under the auspices of the pharmacists, killed the chickens and sacrificed to the gods, carried out a knife ceremony, and were officially promoted to the drug collection apprentices of the medicine collection hall.

Ye Qin took a symbolic medicine knife from Wang Cai's pharmacist and carefully collected it. With this knife, it also means that he has left the teacher and is qualified to go out to collect medicine independently or in groups.

Subs, Vice President Ji announced the rules that must be followed by the drug collection apprentice: after becoming a drug collection apprentice, the collected medicinal materials must be handed over to the medicine collection hall, and then the appraiser will identify the value of the medicinal materials, which will be rewarded at 5% of the price of the herbal medicine.

There is a minimum drug collection limit every month - five pieces of medicinal herbs.

(This refers to the money that can be rewarded after the pharmaceutical apprentices collect medicine, not the value of the medicinal materials themselves. The value of medicinal herbs far exceeds this number. The calculation above, if not specified, usually also refers to the reward money. In Wuguo, a hundred copper coins can be exchanged for a silver leaf, and a hundred silver leaves can be exchanged for a gold leaf.)

If you fail to reach the minimum limit for two consecutive months, you will be punished. If it is less, the reward amount will be reduced, and if it is heavier, the punishment will be disposed of.

If there are a lot of medicinal materials collected every time you enter the mountain, the collection hall will gradually increase the reward amount by 6% to 10%, and even reward some extremely precious drugs refined by the collection hall, which can save your life at critical times. If the reward amount exceeds 10%, you can be promoted to a pharmacist. At that time, the reward will be higher, 10% to 20%. When you reach 20%, you are eligible to be promoted to a pharmacist.

The drug apprentices are very happy.

In the past, I followed the pharmacist to go out to collect medicine, and I could only get a hard reward of one or two hundred copper coins every month. In the future, when you go out to collect medicine, the price is assessed according to the value of the collected herbs, and the income will definitely exceed the previous one, with at least 500 copper coins (five silver leaves).

With this stimulus, the teenagers who had just been promoted to drug apprentices were eager to collect medicine.

Yang Yicheng, Ye Qin, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and other five brothers also made an appointment to collect medicine and take good care of each other on the way.

Ye Qin before leaving. I went to the Yang family's iron shop. Say goodbye to Cheng Da Niu. Cheng Daniel followed Father Yang on the subway for three years. The muscles have become quite strong. He is no longer like the weak child at the beginning. You can make a little money by beating iron every month. At least I can support myself.

Ye Qin is relieved. Even if you are not here. Da Niu can also live well. In this way, he can also go to the mountain to collect medicine at ease.

later. Five people left the county seat. Go to hundreds of miles deep in the mountains and old forests to collect medicine.

still follow their previous teaming mode. Ye Qin carried a herbal basket on his back. Carrying everyone's burden. Walk in the middle. Yang Yicheng opened the way ahead. Sun Ying is taking measures on the side. Qian Ruoxiu and Ye Qin walked together. Expell insects and ants. Feng Xiao, on the other hand, floated around hundreds of steps. Pick up some low-value herbs.

Without the Xie Zecai pharmacist. Don't worry about being sent to risk your life to collect medicine. They looked very relaxed and comfortable along the way. Talk and laugh. I won't go to the dangerous peak canyon on a special adventure.

For Ye Qin. Weight-bearing is already a very easy life. After more than three years of practice, I have practiced the pre-editation of Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra. The breath in his body gradually grew a few points. Each time I recover, my physical strength has also doubled. These three years of geocentric exercise. It made him make great progress in physical strength. The spirit is also quite sufficient.

After more than ten days, they are like playing in the mountains and rivers, somewhat loose.

Ye Qin is a little worried.

He calculates the value of herbs in the herbal basket every night. Calculating the value of medicinal materials is one of the most basic abilities of drug harvesters.

Because people are not taking medicine seriously, not many medicinal materials have been collected so far. He calculated carefully, and the five people were divided equally, that is, one medicinal herb with more than silver leaves for each person, which was far from the minimum limit of five silver leaves. But in terms of time, one-third of a month has passed.

Ye Qin told everyone about this situation. Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao and others suddenly jumped up in surprise, and Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying also showed surprise.

This is not a trivial matter.

If you can't complete the task in the first month, it will be dangerous next month. The punishment of the medicine collection hall is not for jokes. They had seen the bloody human skin in the prison room with their own eyes, and the bloodmen who were cramped and bones were all disciples who were punished for violating certain rules of the court. Some tasks failed to be completed, some privately sold the collected medicinal materials to others, and some rebels were captured.

The loose atmosphere disappeared in an instant. In the next few days, they had to hurry to go to some places where some canyon cliffs were dangerous, but there might be precious medicinal herbs to take risks and collect as many herbs as possible.

In these dangerous places, Feng Xiao was the first to be sent to play. Because he has the best light skills and the most flexible and agile skills, he is the most confident in picking the medicinal herbs on the cliff.

Feng Xiao complained with dissatisfaction, but the other four wanted him to go, and he couldn't go.

In this way, the medicinal herbs in the herbal basket carried by Ye Qin began to increase gradually. When it was almost a month, they had to leave the deep mountains and rush back to Zhuqi County. By the way, on the way back, I picked some low-value herbs in the wilderness to make up the number.

Despite this, when they were about to get to the county, the five people poured out all the medicinal herbs in the herbal basket, divided them into five piles, and finally carefully rectified them. There were about 21 medicinal herbs with slightly more silver leaves in the herbal basket. Even if the estimated price is higher, it will be at most 22 silver leaves, and at least three silver leaves are missing.

The five people looked at each other in consterance.

That is to say, only one or two people can complete the drug collection task, and the remaining three will definitely not complete this month's drug collection task.

Who takes five silver-leaf herbs and who takes four silver-leaf herbs?

"I want to take five silver leaves. At least half of the valuable herbs in it were mined by me!"

Feng Xiao held back for a while and asked for five silver-leaf herbs.

Everyone is silent.

Feng Xiao took the biggest risk and had to take five silver leaves. They had no problem with it.

But who will take more of the rest?

Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying all have opinions. Yang Yicheng said that he expelled the jackals, tigers and leopards all the way. Seeing that the mountain opened the way, he took more. Qian Ruoxiu said that she had caught a lot of insect and snake medicinal herbs on the way, many of which she had found, and she had to take more. Sun Ying said that she killed a lot of beasts. Why did she score less?

It is related to whether the drug collection task can be completed this month, but no one will give in easily.

Ye Qin just stood aside and watched silently. Because he has hardly picked herbs at all, it is not a big "contribution" to carry an herbal basket. He doesn't want to join the dispute for that herbal medicine.

He watched the three people quarreling, and suddenly there was a trace of gloom in his heart. Even though they are brothers and sisters, they have been working together to save their lives for three years, they have also argued in the face of Myanmar's cruel interests.

Several people teamed up to collect medicine. Although it is convenient, it is easy to hurt feelings in order to divide the medicine in fairness.

Perhaps it's time to consider taking medicine alone.

He is not the only one who has this idea.

After returning to the county's medicine collection hall, all the medicinal materials were sent to the medicine department of the inner hall to count the value of the medicinal materials. Ye Qin, Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying only collected four silver leaves. Because it was the first month, everyone was punished with only ten whips, and one silver leaf was detained, and only three silver leaves were given.

Feng Xiao was rewarded with five silver leaves because he had enough medicine to avoid punishment.

The five people returned to the stone house where they lived.

Feng Xiao was the first to propose to dismantle the gang. He consciously went to collect medicine by himself, and he could collect more herbs without being dragged down by others.

Yang Yicheng looked at Feng Xiao coldly and snorted coldly, "You only learned light kung fu. If you meet a jackal, I think you can protect yourself!"

Feng Xiao didn't care at all: "When I'm stupid, I can't beat it, can't I run? With my light skills, what kind of wolf can catch up with me?

Yang Yicheng didn't say anything more. He also decided to collect medicine alone. With his help, he couldn't go.

After two days, when they went to collect medicine again, the five people put on their bags on their backs and parted ways.

Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying decided to go to collect medicine together. Before leaving, they also asked Ye Qin if he would go with them, so that there were many people to take care of him. Looking at their expressions, they sympathized with Ye Qin. Because Ye Qin is the weakest of the five people. If you want to use force, you need to have no force. If you want light kung fu, you just have enough physical strength and walk for a long time. They want to take Ye Qin with them, mostly out of sympathy.

Ye Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head faintly. If three people leave, he is still at the bottom when he divides the medicine. He still decided to go alone and try his luck.

Moreover, Ye Qin also has a sense of arrogance in his heart. He doesn't believe that he will be much worse than the other four.

In fact, he followed Xie Ze's pharmacist in the past. He followed Xie Ze for three years after five steps. He kept in mind Xie Ze's every move in the process of drug observation and drug collection, and learned the most practical skills. In contrast, Yang, Feng, Qian and Sun learned much less because they were scattered.
