It was already dark outside, and the warehouse was lit with several oil lamps, enough to see the medicinal herbs in hand. 【Book by】

From working during the day to night, even though I had suffered a lot, I felt the urge to collapse to the ground in the next second.

Fortunately, my results are right in front of me, looking at the clean and neat medicine box on the ground, no matter how much hard work it is, it seems to be worth it.

Of course, there are still a few hours to go, and after the acceptance at dawn, the other half of the remuneration will come to me

I leaned against the box for a short rest, and the wooden door was pushed open again, just as it was getting dark.

The boy walked in with a bag and handed it to me, "Someone gave it to you from outside." ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked at him puzzled, and said, "There is no one I know outside." ”

"It's the foreman who brought you here, and he sent a few buns and asked me to hand them over to you."

I took it suddenly, and when I smelled it, it was the steamed bun from the same shop as the one I ate yesterday, and I was a little moved by the fact that the contractor surnamed Lu was still so careful.

The young man looked at me with a cold face, and soon his eyes turned to the neatly stacked boxes on the ground, and he was slightly moved.

"You're all sorted?" He asked.

My mouth was stuffed with buns, and it was very inconvenient to speak, so it was easy to swallow, but I didn't even have saliva, and I was so anxious to answer that he almost choked.

After coughing a few times, I said vaguely, "It's all sorted out." ”

"It's fast." His tone was unusually gentle.

I pointed to the herbs in the corner of the warehouse that I had put together: "These are rain-drenched, and they are damp inside, and they need to be dried at sunrise." ”

"Compared with those complete boxes, the difference between these products sorted out has to be discounted."

"Whoever has that kung fu, it's too late to hurry, we have to pass the pass today, and the defenders on the border of Zealand will check the queue for an hour."

He said a few words briefly, but I was stunned. Looking at him in disbelief, he said, "Then what to do with this batch of surplus medicinal materials?" "Throw it away!"

I repeatedly, "How can you be so wasteful?!" Although the quality of drying in the rain is poor, it is not to the point of throwing it away as garbage. "It's going to be thrown away anyway, if you want it, take some with you." "Are you sure?" I was still immersed in surprise. Not quite come back to your senses yet. "Where is all this nonsense?"

He gave me another impatient look, "Verbosity." ”

It's like pie in the sky!

I had never used this pile of medicinal materials before, I thought that the owner would still need it, or sell it directly to the pharmacy in the town at a reduced price, but I didn't expect the other party to spend a lot of money, and I lost it!

I didn't talk anymore, and seeing that it was not time to make an agreement with the contractor Lao Jia for acceptance and payment, I simply squatted in the corner of the warehouse and picked up the pile of medicinal materials.

The tiredness was swept away, and I was in a good mood to pick it up.

I picked a bunch of what I thought would be useful. That way, I have a lot of luggage to take with me, but I don't even have a piece of baggage to tie them up.

But this is easy to do, I am not poor and white now, and I will wait for the settlement to be completed. I'll go to town and buy what I want, and I can buy less, because I have several herbs.

The young man held his elbows and stood at the door to watch me busy, and when he saw the small pile of medicinal herbs that I was going to take away after I finished arranging, he pointed to an empty basket and extra rope that had been vacated next to him and said, "You use that to carry." ”

Put yourself in my shoes. I thanked him, and soon after, Lao Jia's footsteps sounded from outside the house.

He walked in, saw me and the boy were there, his eyes moved, and he greeted the boy first.

Then. It is the moment when the three parties witness and test the results.

The boy counted them one by one, and the expression on his face was much better, and finally he got the rest of the silver

Depart from the side gate of the mansion. I made my way down town, and I still had to go to the busiest street to buy all the things I wanted, and now, I've added to the items I planned to buy.

In addition to the rough texture of men's clothing, in addition, I have to buy a set of women's clothing, which is also the simplest style, the most ordinary clothing.

Because I thought of going to Sealand, after all, there is a special reason, maybe I will use it when walking.

As I walked, I carefully calculated the items I wanted to buy in my mind, for fear of missing them out at the moment.

Coming out of the door of the mansion, the road to the town is through a forest, and the house is on the outskirts of the town.

I carried a huge bamboo basket on my back, and I was tired and panicked after walking not far away, after all, I hadn't slept well all night, and I still had to use my brain to organize the medicinal herbs.

But I didn't want to lose too much time, so even if I was a little tired, I had to grit my teeth and persevere.

Not far to the path at the edge of the forest, the bamboo basket on my body suddenly lightened, I was startled, and looked back at the person who didn't know where to get out, wasn't the contractor surnamed Lu or which one?!

"I'll get it for you." Lu Daduan carried the basket and smiled at me, "The road is still far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it to the town." ”

I quickly refused, held the bamboo basket behind me and took a step back to the side and said, "How can you do it?" ”

"I haven't thanked you for bringing me the buns in the morning, the mushroom-stuffed buns are really delicious."

I tasted it back and said to him gratefully: "Thank you so much, I now have money by my side, and I can return the money for the buns to you." ”

After that, I was about to put down the bamboo basket and withdraw the money from my arms, but Lu Daduan hurriedly stopped me and said, "Why are you still mentioning this matter to me, it's just a few buns, and your brother Lu can't afford it." ”

"You're from the Lake Country, I'm afraid you've suffered a lot along the way, right?"

He asked me in a gentle tone, his eyes glancing at my face from time to time.

I don't want to talk about it too much, because that's what I've used for myself, and I'm about to leave the border town.

If I pass the border, I will be at the border of Sealand in two days at most.

I lifted the bamboo basket I was carrying up to make it easier to carry it, but I changed the topic in my mouth: "Brother Lu, you didn't follow Lao Jia yesterday, and now we have finished the inspection, why don't you see his figure?" ”

It took some time for the warehouse to be accepted, and the boy needed to seal the medicine boxes I had sorted out one by one, so I stayed to help him, and after a while, Jia Lao Liu took the first step, and he settled the money with me, so he had no obligation to continue to stay and help.

Besides, the matter of sealing the box, two people are enough, and I took the initiative to stay and help out of gratitude for his generosity in giving me a pile of unwanted "garbage" medicinal materials.

"Where have the others gone?"

"I took the work given by other businessmen, and I was busy, he was a busy man."

Lu Daduan said absentmindedly, and a pair of eyes looked at my face one after another.

The pace was not slow, I soon came to the edge of the woods, at first glance, the road was very quiet, no one passed, I instinctively quickened the pace, there was a vague indescribable feeling in my heart.

After walking more than ten feet away, suddenly my calf hurt, and it seemed that I was hit by something, like a stone or something, so I stumbled under my feet and fell!

The bamboo baskets on my back were all dumped on the ground, and the pile of medicinal herbs that I had sorted out in the morning was scattered all over the ground.

"Hey, why did you fall?" Lu Daduan took a few steps forward, quickly helped me up, used a lot of strength, and took the opportunity to touch my waist with both hands.

The feeling of uneasiness intensified, and the next second, I pushed him away and said, "What are you doing?!" ”

"Didn't the eldest brother be kind enough to help you?" He took two steps closer and smiled, and a lewd smile fell into my eyes, and my heart tightened in an instant, confirming my previous uneasy premonition.

Cold sweat soaked my back, but I calmed down instead!

I glanced at him and squeezed out a smile and said, "I still have to take these medicinal materials to the town to pay back, Brother Lu, you help me pick them up together." ”

"It's easy to say," he said when he saw that my attitude had changed, and he also obeyed me.

I squatted down and began to pick up the medicinal herbs on the ground, he first threw two piles of scattered herbs into the basket near me, then moved in my direction, slowly approached my back and said, "Little brother, this medicinal herb is worth a few dollars, you might as well follow"

Before he could finish the words, a heart-rending scream sounded in the forest!

I put down the stone in my hand, saw the trembling figure curled up on the ground, and sneered: "You are so wishful!" “

Grabbed the medicinal herbs on the ground and threw them into the basket, and the temporarily incapacitated person gritted his teeth and watched me gasp.

I put the basket on my back and ran on the road with all my might, and I had to make it to the town as best I could!

This place is so unsafe!!

As I was about to run out of the woods, I suddenly tripped over a rope under my feet, and then I was tied up and hung upside down.

Even with one foot hanging upside down, I could see a figure coming out from behind the tree. "You can't run away," Jia Lao Liu still said in a gloomy tone. "What the hell are you going to do?" "You're the head of the town and the foreman, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?" I know the next step is not optimistic, but I always have hope. "Reputation?" As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, his always gloomy face burst into laughter in an instant, "You are a foreigner, who knows you in the town?" "The medicinal herb merchant who asked you to do things has passed the Sealand checkpoint now, and I want your life, and the government won't know!" "All the money on me will be given to you," I said in a deep tone, "No matter how you say it, it's a human life, and you kill people for no reason."

"Who told you to kill you!"

He scolded me, walked up to me, stretched out his rough fingers and touched my face, and said, "Such a face and figure, there are good places for you to go!" “
