Chapter 51: The Valley of Hundred Medicines
Not long after leaving the sales department, the phone kept ringing, and I picked it up and looked at it, it was Liu Wei calling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey, Boss Cha, haha...... I just went to the Valley of Hundred Medicines, well, the scene in "Jianghu GO", you won't blame me, right? ”
"Now at home, don't worry? How could I lock you out, am I like that? No, I'll pick you up......"
Listening to Liu Wei's explanation in the earpiece, Cha Xiaodao rejected his plan to drive to pick him up, took a taxi, and returned to the City Light Community.
……
"Boss Cha, that's how things ......," Liu Wei explained at the dinner table.
Eating the dishes that Liu Wei had carefully made to apologize, Cha Xiaodao asked, "You mean you've been in the Hundred Medicine Valley all day?" ”
"That's right, noon has passed, I've been staying there, I just came back, and my phone is out of battery......"
"Hundred Medicine Valley?" Cha Xiaodao silently recited two sentences and asked, "Where can I collect medicine?" ”
"That's not it, good guy, more than a dozen acres of land, the medicinal herbs are simply gone, what peacock feathers, long white grass, Xiao Xiaohua ......"
Cha Xiaodao's eyes lit up: "Where is it?" ”
"It's in Yangxian West, not too far, more than an hour's drive from us." Liu Wei said without hesitation that since the virtual auction, CP Auction House has gradually been on the right track, and there is an endless stream of orders every day, and Liu Wei finally has free time to play "Jianghu GO".
"Interested? We'll see tomorrow! ”
"Done." Cha Xiaodao said briskly, he has the medicine king Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Fang" in hand, just to see if there are any good medicinal materials for alchemy.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two had a simple breakfast and then drove away.
All the way west!
It's still the two big red Maseratis, but because it's in the city, Liu Wei is a lot more settled.
High-rise buildings on the side of the road are speeding by, cars are getting farther and farther away, wearing the red dragon generation, through the car window, you can see that the outside has become more and more desolate, and the prosperity and noise of the big city have long been gone.
An hour later, the car was driving through a village.
There are no flashing neon lights, no endless traffic, no pedestrians in a hurry, just dilapidated brick and concrete bungalows, yellow sand and not very majestic dirt mountains, and people squatting on the ground to watch the bustle, all with blank eyes and full of hair, who have lost confidence in life.
Here, it is the slum area of Yangxian City, Bianfang Village.
It's hard to imagine that there is such a backward place today, just as it's hard to imagine that a few decades ago, Hong Kong, where every inch of land was scarce, still existed in a barren place like a pig pen village.
Parking the car next to a large locust tree, the two got out of the car.
"Here? Baiyao Valley? Zha Xiaodao looked at Liu Wei suspiciously.
"Well, I've been to this place several times, I can't be wrong!"
No longer doubting, following Liu Wei, the two crossed the small dirt road between the villages, went straight down from a path on the top of the mountain, and after more than half an hour, they went down to the bottom of the mountain.
"Oh, there's Baigu Garden ahead!" Liu Wei pointed not far in front and said.
Looking in the direction of Liu Wei's finger, what appeared in front of him was a valley mouth, the area in the valley mouth was huge, there were more than a dozen acres of land, and the green herbs were swaying in the wind.
However, what puzzled Decha Xiaodao was that there were still many people inside, one by one
With a scythe in hand, he walked through the vast valley, cutting off some ripe herbs from time to time.
“NPC?” Puzzled, Cha Xiaodao lifted the Red Dragon Generation slightly upward, but he was taken aback, "So many players. ”
"Hmm." Liu Wei nodded and said, "Most of them are villagers from Bianfang Village......
"Villagers?" Thinking of the poverty and ruin of the village before, Cha Xiaodao was suspicious.
"The Red Dragon generation is all rented." Seems to know what Cha Xiaodao wants to ask, Liu Wei explained: "Since the launch of "Jianghu GO", the scene has been automatically refreshed here, and the villagers who were originally working outside have also come back one after another, they use their ID cards to guarantee that they rent the Red Dragon Generation from the game studio in the city, and sign an agreement with the studio, 50% of the money earned from the collected medicinal materials will be handed over to them, and the rest of the money earned will be used to maintain their lives. ”
The two talked as they walked and came to the valley.
"Dog......" Liu Wei suddenly shouted into the distance, and then saw a thin figure in the medicine bush stand up, glanced over here, a look in his eyes popped up, and then trotted over.
"Viagra ......"
It was a child of about seven or eight years old, with a peach-hearted hairstyle, red dragon glasses, and a patched coarse cloth coat, and his name was Xiao Gouzi.
The dog came running like the wind and hugged Liu Wei's leg firmly.
"Uh...... I said don't call me Viagra, just call me Brother Liu in the future. Liu Wei looked at Cha Xiaodao with some embarrassment, then picked up the dog, pointed at Cha Xiaodao, and said, "Quick, call Brother Cha." ”
"Brother Cha." The dog is not afraid of life, and rushes to check the knife.
Looking at his tiger's head, Cha Xiaodao smiled and touched the dog's head affectionately.
Liu Wei also laughed out loud, scratched the dog's nose, and said, "Dog, the harvest has been good in the past two days, right?" ”
"Okay, okay......" The dog said with a disgruntled nose.
At this time, the people who were originally picking herbs in the valley also came over, and everyone surrounded Cha Xiaodao and Liu Wei in the middle.
"Brother Liu, you're here......"
"Come down, puppy...... I'm almost seven years old, and I'm still being held, and I'm not ashamed......"
Most of these people are dressed simply, the older ones are in their thirties, and the younger ones are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the grind of life has carved a series of vicissitudes of wrinkles on their faces.
"Brother Wang...... Lao Zhao ...... It's okay, I'll take my friends around, you're busy with yours, don't delay your collection of medicine......" put the puppy around his neck, Liu Wei said.
"Don't delay, it just so happens that we are tired too......"
Everyone chatted for a long time before they slowly dispersed, and Cha Xiaodao and Liu Wei walked in the valley, and finally knew the situation here.
With the release and popularity of "Jianghu GO", Zhao Weicai in the village first discovered this treasure land, and he came out one after another to find the villagers who were working outside, rented Chilong generation glasses, organized everyone to collect medicine here, and sold the collected medicinal materials to the big gangmen or Datong shops in the city in exchange for money.
Listening to this, Cha Xiaodao sighed, once upon a time, he was just a person who did nothing, had no ability, and ran around for real life in the game.
"What price do they sell their herbs for?" Cha Xiaodao thought for a moment and asked.
"Ten percent below the market price, part of it will be sold to the system Datong store, and part of it will be sold to several major sects in Yangxian City."
"That's ......" Cha Xiaodao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Let them stop selling the medicine they bought recently, and put it up." ”
"Stand up? Why? ”
"It's September 12, right?" Check the knife to answer the question.
"There's nothing wrong with it, September 12."
"In a few days, the Huichun Gate of Yangxian City will hold an alchemy competition, which will definitely attract many people, and the medicinal materials in the Datong store will definitely not be enough, so sell those medicinal materials to them at a high price." Cha Xiaodao looked at the busy figure in the valley and said.
"That's right, why did I forget this stubble......" Liu Wei clapped his fists and said loudly, with an excited look on his face, "By the way, Brother Cha, you are also an alchemist, right?" Not going to join in the fun? ”
"I'm definitely going to go, I heard that the reward for that name is the Liupindan Furnace! Moreover, my master will still be there......" Zha Xiaodao looked through the patches of medicinal forest, and remembered the bits and pieces he had once lived with Sun Simiao.
"Your master? Who is it! Why haven't I heard you mention it......" Liu Wei immediately asked.
"You'll know when the time comes......" Cha Xiaodao didn't say anything, "let's get started." ”
The two took a sickle from the villager Lao Wang and cut the herbs with the villagers.
This busy was a whole afternoon, and on the way, I also enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the village king's place, during which the atmosphere was warm and happy.
In the end, Cha Xiaodao and Liu Wei gave the herbs harvested in the small half of the backpack to everyone, although it was not worth much, but it was always a heart.
