The clouds drift lightly with the wind, drifting to the west into the sunset, and the sunset is very beautiful! How many amorous people would give her how much ink and brush she would have?

"It's just nearly dusk, and it's like life......

When people reach middle age, they become more and more sad, sighing and hating the past. How many years have I missed, and too many days and nights have been wasted.

"Isn't this a gift from heaven to those who are leaving!"

Visitors from other places, uprooted from their hometowns, will set off again for the next foreign country.

My hometown is someone else's hometown, and whose hometown is my hometown, and we should be the same people......

"I don't envy the thousands of glory in the world, I just want the beautiful women to enjoy this scene. ”

A young man in his prime, thinking of her in his heart. Just by the distant green bamboo window, there was also a young woman squinting at this side.

Today's sunset is particularly gorgeous, and Li is also standing on the top of the mountain looking to the west, and he is also deeply attracted by the beauty of the heaven and earth.

Before the sun sets, the clouds and mist are thick, and the beautiful sunset is goodbye.

Li also extracted the medicine basket at his feet, and walked briskly in the direction of Youdao.

It's just that the medicine basket is empty, and there is not a single herb, and it looks like I'm going to be hungry tonight.

On the way down the mountain, Li also, as before, chop firewood and sell firewood when he can't collect medicine, and if he sells firewood, he can sell one or two copper plates a day, and when he collects medicine, he can sell ten copper plates.

Along the way, keep putting dry firewood into the medicine basket, today's firewood can not be sold, one is not enough to sell a copper plate, and the other is that when it is cold, you have to use firewood to keep warm.

If you don't eat in this weather, if you don't have a barbecue, you can easily get typhoid fever. With these dry firewood, one can be used for heating, and the other is that you can boil a kettle for hot water, but Li doesn't even have an iron kettle!

Now he had to prepare enough firewood for tonight and spend the night in that uninhabited Taoist temple.

Soon he filled a basket full of solid firewood, and after walking a little further, there was a Taoist temple, at this time the sun had already set in the western mountains, and the cold air was howling, burrowing into Li Ye's single clothes, which made him shiver.

He quickened his pace, and there were constantly drunken tourists returning on the road, and when he arrived at the Taoist temple, all the vendors were packing up and hurrying home.

Recently, there is a Taoist temple is not very peaceful, this is everyone's voice, people dare not stay outside when it is dark.

Li also stood outside the Taoist temple, pushed the door in, and alarmed the rats all over the ground, squeaking and burrowing into the hole.

Although it is barren here, it can be used to block the wind.

There was no word all night, and after the rooster crowed three times, Li also opened his eyes, and the fire had long since burned out and had no temperature.

However, in the next moment, Li Ye's eyes widened instantly, because on the opposite side of the pile of ashes, there was a person lying there.

The man was very thin, curled up, and shivering from time to time, presumably frozen.

"Huh, is this the guy from last night?"

It turned out to be last night's "melon thief", and he was so bold to dare to come back!

Li also woke him up and asked him a few casual questions, but the man did not say a word.

It should look like he is about the same age, and although his face is dirty, it is not difficult to see that his skin is very white.

The man looked at him intently before he said a word.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Li also shook his head, but then took out three copper plates from his pocket and handed them to him.

"Let's go buy food!"

The job of collecting medicine depends on personal experience and luck, and often it is not possible to collect medicine in many cases.

Excluding food and clothing, all his savings for these three copper plates, in other words, his food money for one or even two days!

The man snatched the money and said thank you after a long silence.

He didn't stay any longer, got up and walked away through the hole in the main hall.

Li also touched his empty pockets and secretly said to himself, he must collect medicine today, otherwise he will be hungry at night.

As usual, he went up the mountain and searched for the "treasures" in the mountains. Today's luck is good, after a whole day, the medicine collected is enough to sell five copper plates, for this, he is very satisfied, tonight finally don't have to starve!

Before going down the mountain, he chopped some firewood and kept it for heating at night. He spent two copper plates at the market to buy two baked cakes and a few sweet potatoes.

When I returned to the Taoist temple, the neighborhood was already empty. After some checking, I found that the man did not come back, and he had bought more food today.

In this case, you can only eat by yourself, but you can have a full meal!

After being alone for a long time, Lee also wanted to have a peer to talk to. That doesn't seem so hard.

In addition, he felt that yesterday's person was not bad in nature, although he wanted to steal his roasted sweet potato, but he must have encountered unavoidable trouble.

People like him, who are alone and have no home, can better understand that feeling.

That's why he came to his aid and gave him all his money.

The money was originally the "life-saving money" he left for himself, in case he would starve to death if he couldn't collect medicinal herbs for a long time.

He ate one and two sweet potatoes, and then fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up again, it was already early in the morning.

The fire in the fire was about to burn out, so he hurriedly added some dry wood, and the fire was lit again.

He sat up, looked at the fire in front of him, and remembered what the guy in the shop had said to a man selling medicine today.

Most of the herbs that grow naturally within a radius of ten miles are ordinary goods, and if you want to collect higher-value medicinal herbs, you have to go farther away.

It was still early in the morning, and those words had been ringing in his head, so he didn't feel sleepy, and decided to get up now and go farther away, maybe there would be a lot of gain.

This time, you can't bring more things, so the straw mat is placed in the Taoist temple, and it is very safe to put it here, because few people dare to come in.

He put three sweet potatoes, two baked cakes, and a copy of "The Complete Collection of Medicinal Materials" given by the pharmacy guy in the medicine basket.

In the past, he used to collect medicine according to the above description, but this time he went to an unfamiliar area, and it was indispensable to see.

"Squeak"

The door was opened, and Lee set off with the night on his back!

There is no specific destination, but it can be said that there are destinations all along the way, and while walking, they are all walking on paths overgrown with wild grass.

After a long time, he finally stepped out of his usual range of activities, and in the early morning hours, he climbed another hill, and the area ahead of him was something he had never been before.

There was a different kind of scenery there, the mountains there he had never seen before, the rivers there had never been seen before, and even the birds there had never heard before......

"I heard the old man in the village say that there are emperors in the outside world, and there are immortals who can fly into the sky and the earth......"

Li Ye pursed his lips and smiled, muttering to himself, he was thinking about a question, whether the emperor ruled the immortals, or the emperor obeyed the immortals......

"If one day, I become an emperor, I will rule the immortals. If one day, I become an immortal, then I will let the emperor listen to my call. And when I become an immortal, I will fly around and fly around in this sky, and I will go to the steepest cliff of Niuer Mountain to pick the most valuable herbs......!

As children, we all love to dream unrealistically. The only difference is that some people's dreams come true, while others just have a dream.

The place where Li also came was called Zimu Lan City, which was the center of many small villages and tribes in the surrounding area. There are large merchants here, there is a large floating population, and it is very prosperous.

It is the largest trading center within a radius of 100 miles.

The most important point is that the city is inhabited by people from the royal family.

In other words, this is the gateway to the wider world, the most basic point of formation of a kingdom.

Zimu Lancheng belongs to the Hengxi country, there are a total of 77 cities in the country, and Zimu Lancheng ranks 19th in the overall ranking, which is not a low ranking.

The ranking of a city is not only in terms of financial resources, but also in terms of education level and military strength.

There are three famous academies in Zimu Lancheng, and in terms of troops, there are 100,000 elite soldiers commanded by members of the royal family!

Purple wood is abundant in purple wood, and the purple wood produced here is bright in color, which is very suitable for making handicrafts.

If it is made into jewelry, it will have a calming effect if worn for a long time.

Purple wood is hard, and 100-year-old purple wood is the best choice for house beams and weighing wood.

Due to the very high price, except for the national capital and Zimu Lan City, it is rare to see a large number of people using this item!

Li also climbed a mountain and looked into the distance, the place he came to was only the edge of the city near Zimu Lan City, from the distance from the mountain, even if it was just a small city close to Zimu Lan City, it was also very prosperous, with large and small shops covering five main roads.

The banners of the shops fluttered in the wind, there were more than a dozen pharmacies alone, each of which was bigger than Niuershan, their courtyards were full of all kinds of medicinal materials, and the guys in the shops were busy, checking the goods, receiving medicines, paying, and keeping accounts.

After a busy day, Li Ye really gained a lot, and he was so happy that he rushed to one of the pharmacies at the bottom of the mountain before dark.

There is a counter for purchasing personal medicinal herbs, and there are two long rows of chairs in front of the counter, and Li is also sitting here and waiting.

He looked at the bustling streets outside, even though it was late, there were still people coming and going, and there was no sign that the market was going to be closed at all, and at this time, every household was lit up, which made the already lively streets much warmer.

The guys here collected the medicine very quickly, and after a while, they collected all the medicinal materials at a price much higher than that of Niuershan.

This time, he sold a total of thirty copper plates, which was much higher than the price of Niuershan.

At the other counter of the store, there are much fewer people than here, and it is the collection place of herb vendors from all over the world. Herb vendors don't pick their own herbs, they buy herbs from others and sell them here, and then make a profit from the difference.

Seeing this, Li Ye asked the guy if he could also be a vendor, and the guy first glanced at him, and then politely said that the counter over there usually trades thirty silver coins at a time.

One silver coin is equal to one hundred copper plates, and thirty silver coins are three thousand copper plates!

Three thousand copper plates of medicinal materials, which is a lot of money for Li Ye.

In Niuershan, you can eat a table of sumptuous wine and food, or buy a decent dress.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and turned to leave.

The guy who was talking to him suddenly stopped him, saying that the medicine he picked was in good condition, and he didn't do anything, if there was, they were willing to buy it in large quantities, and the price could be a little higher, which was good news, and Li also nodded for the time being, saying that as long as there were medicinal materials, they would sell them.

Holding the thirty copper plates in his hand, he walked on the way back, and when he was halfway there, he stopped, turned and walked back. He decided not to go back for now, but to find a sheltered place on the mountain tonight to stay for one night, and continue to collect medicine nearby tomorrow, and then return to Niuershan after saving some money.

He searched for a long time, and finally found a place to block the wind under a large rock. Then he lit a fire, took out the baked cakes and settled the supper with the stream.

Two baked cakes are half full for him now, and his age is the time to grow his body, eat a lot, and be hungry quickly.

But reality doesn't allow it, he can only be hungry and full, but compared to the days when he was often hungry before, he is already very satisfied.

Looking at the brightly lit streets below the mountain, even if you are not in the middle of it, you can feel the warmth. It may have something to do with his age, after all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child.

Everyone's childhood is different, with a variety of landscapes, but they all pass by in a hurry.

But who would have thought that there is another kind of person who does not have a so-called childhood, and has memories of the day is his coming-of-age ceremony......
