The young man invited Ziyao and Bai Yang to the inner hall to sit down in front of the tea table, poured a fragrant tea and rubbed their hands.

"This young lady later, the little one will ask the shopkeeper to come out, after all, the store has just opened in the morning, and the shopkeeper has not yet come up to the counter. ”

Zi Yao nodded, took a sip of the teacup, the young man got up and ran quickly towards the backyard, almost bumped into a medicine boy, hurried to the back house, slammed the door, and a slightly tired voice sounded.

"Who?"

The young man clasped his fists, "The shopkeeper, a girl who bought medicine came to the counter, and took out two purple-black Ganoderma lucidum, although the small one has never been seen, but the purple-black oily color and growth texture seem to be extraordinary."

Besides, that little girl is a connoisseur at first glance, so she came over to ask you to drive over and take a look. ”

In a moment, the wooden door creaked open, and an old man with gray hair walked out, "Lead the way, let's take a look." ”

The two appeared in the inner hall behind the pharmacy one after the other, Zi Yao did not get up, and continued to taste the tea, although Bai Yang did not understand these etiquettes, but he also looked like Zi Yao took a small sip of tea soup with a tea cup.

"Can this girl let the old man take a look at your medicinal herbs?"

Only then did Zi Yao raise her eyes and look at the old man, got up and took a half-step back on one leg and bowed slightly, after all, this person is an elder and it is not strange that many people are courteous, and then took out the purple lingzhi that had just been displayed.

"Shopkeeper, please see. ”

The shopkeeper carefully opened the baggage, unfolded the cloth layer by layer, and the purple Ganoderma lucidum appeared in front of him, and sure enough, the growth lines were extremely tight, and the surface of the purple-black and shiny Ganoderma lucidum seemed to be painted.

His eyes lowered slightly, "Since this girl can recognize this purple lingzhi, she should know her medicinal effects, right?"

Zi Yao nodded, "According to the record in the "Shennong Classic of Materia Medica": Zizhi has a sweet and warm taste, the main deafness, good joints, good nerves, strong muscles and bones, good color, long-term clothing and light body, ageless and prolonged. ”

The old shopkeeper nodded frequently, "That's a good point, how much money does the girl want to sell?"

Zi Yao smiled slightly, "The old shopkeeper can also see that my sister and brother are just villagers living in the mountains, and they make a living by collecting medicinal herbs.

So there is no need to be so tempted, please give a price, if it is suitable, we will sell, of course, next time there are any medicinal materials will still be sent, after all, we are rough pharmacology, so the medicinal properties of the collected medicinal materials must be the best. ”

The old shopkeeper nodded, "This is very good, the girl is quick to talk, and the old man is not polite, so how about I give you sixty taels of silver for this pair of purple lingzhi?"

Zi Yao groaned for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, just do what the old shopkeeper wants!"

The old shopkeeper patted his thigh, stroked his beard happily and said with a smile: "Great, the old man's surname is Chen Mingshi, and I hope we will come and go often in the future." ”

Zi Yao got up and saluted, "Little girl Bai Xu, please forgive me for my offense just now, after all, my sister and brother depend on each other, and they need to be self-reliant and self-reliant so that they will not be bullied." ”

The old shopkeeper looked at this indifferent little girl with some pity and nodded, "Okay, then we will decide, in the future, the white girl can send the medicinal materials directly to the counter, and the old man will never deceive the fair price." ”

Zi Yao took the sixty taels of silver from the young man, put it in the gap between the belt and the poplar's back basket, and the two got up to say goodbye.

Bai Yang stared at Zi Yao with a look of adoration in his dark eyes, "Sister is so good! she has earned so much silver money, so that we won't starve!

Zi Yao sneered and laughed, Bai Yang was so flattering himself just to eat a bite, thinking about it, he was a little sad, and pulled Bai Yang forward.

A pair of ill-intentioned eyes on the side, Zi Yao had already paid attention, and just when the man was about to bump into the two sisters and brothers, Zi Yao used a force on his wrist to pull the poplar close to him, and bent down to carry him up.

Then he kicked a stone at his feet as if unintentionally, and with a knock on his heel, the stone flew towards the forehead of the person who wanted to steal behind him, and then there was a wail behind him.

"Hey, it hurts me, you two little bunnies stop me!"

Saying that, this person rushed to the front of Zi Yao and Bai Yang, Zi Yao fixed his eyes on this person's five short figures, with a sharp beak and dark skin, a pair of triangular eyes shining with a thief light, one hand covering his forehead, blood oozing from his fingers, and the other hand shining towards Zi Yao.

"The little rabbit actually hit me with a stone, why do you want to run away after hitting someone?"

With such a shout, many onlookers had gathered on his side, and seeing that the man wanted to blackmail the child, everyone pointed and talked about the man.

Zi Yao still looked up at him with the poplar on her back, "Noise, the little woman is carrying her younger brother on her back, when did she hurt someone?"

The man blinked his triangular eyes, waved his hand vigorously, and said loudly, "I can still blackmail you if I am injured here, let's see you in the government!"

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and pull Zi Yao's arm, but just as he was about to touch Zi Yao, a powerful big hand grabbed the man's wrist, and everyone looked at the man who shot along the wrist.

This person was dressed in a white brocade robe with a hat to block the wind and sand, the white silk veil on the front of the hat was lifted to reveal a flawless handsome face, thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes and thin lips were lightly pursed, making people dare not blaspheme, the triangular eyes swallowed saliva, and the pain from his wrist made his facial features a little distorted.

"The hero spares his life, let go quickly, the little wrist is about to be broken!"

The man waved his hand in disgust, and the triangular eye had been thrown far away, and he scrambled to his feet and disappeared into the street.

Although this person interrupted his plan to enter the garrison capital, but his skills and dress were not ordinary people, Zi Yao still dealt with it cautiously, Zi Yao put down the poplar and bowed slightly towards the man who made a righteous move.

"Thank you Childe for saving me!"

The man nodded imperceptibly, straightened the veil from his hood, and turned to leave.

Poplar also bowed his head in the same way as Zi Yao, although he was young, he was very polite, Zi Yao smiled and stroked his head, how could the younger brother not let the original owner pity and love!

Turning around and walking towards the shop in front, he spent three taels of silver in the ready-to-wear store to buy two cotton jackets and two thin shirts for Bai Yang, and also bought himself two more comfortable emerald green cotton clothes and pants.

Putting on new clothes, the sister and brother seemed to be a different person, and before leaving, Zi Yao once again purchased a set of short cotton clothes and pants that were easy to climb and run, and put them together with shoes, and continued to walk forward with their hands on their backs.

For the time being, I still have to make a living by collecting medicine, and everything has to survive the winter before making a decision, looking at the current weather, it is getting closer and closer to the cold winter, so everything must be worked hard.
