Finally, when the day of the fair in Jiao County came, many nearby villagers poured into the originally dilapidated small county town, and those shops that had been closed for a few days also began to open. Not only that, but there are also many small vendors from other places, bringing goods from other places, and starting to sell them with a strong local voice.

The deserted small county town suddenly became lively. Zhangzhu and Yunzhao went to the market in Jiao County that sold all kinds of medicinal herbs. All kinds of medicinal herbs are packed in burlap bags, and they speak in a variety of country voices, as if they are selling all kinds of grains and vegetables. Zhangzhu looked around, the quality of those medicinal materials was different, so that she could choose something really affordable if she was knowledgeable.

The brother and sister walked around, Zhangzhu selected some medicinal materials, Yun Zhao was responsible for counting and paying, and the entourage helped move the goods. I have seen a lot of types of palm beads, but I don't buy much, and some medicinal materials are inconvenient to store for too long, so I am worried about being eaten by insects.

After working for a long time, they bought the medicine they needed. I was busy enough at the end of the day, and it was already early afternoon when I had finished shopping. Du Yunzhao hired ten pallet trucks to haul their goods.

"Sister, I'm going to leave this afternoon, I don't know if you can survive it." After buying so many things, Yun Zhao just wanted to hurry back to Shoufeng.

Zhangzhu said: "It's been too long to be here, it's better to get on the road early, and hurry up and get to that post station to settle down." ”

"I think so too, if it goes well, I should be able to get to Shoufeng before dark tomorrow."

Zhangzhu agreed, and when they left the room, they were ready to leave. Even the carriage in which Zhangzhu sat was stuffed with two sacks of herbs.

Bao Yan pointed to a bag of herbs and asked Zhangzhu, "Girl, what kind of medicine is this?" ”

"It's forsythia."

"What for?"

Zhangzhu replied: "It can clear away heat and detoxify, and dissipate wind and dissipate heat." into the heart, gallbladder and liver meridians. Cool and bitter in nature. ”

Bao Yan pointed to the bag of medicine next to him and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is astragalus. It is used to replenish and nourish qi. ”

Bao Yan clapped her hands and praised: "The girl is so powerful, she knows everything." It's amazing that you've learned so much in just half a year with your teacher. ”

This is how she can forget what she has been carrying with her mother since she was a child, and how dare she practice medicine if she doesn't even know this.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was natural to walk slower with those goods on the road.

Bao Yan handed a piece of sesame cake to Zhangzhu and asked her to fill her stomach. Zhangzhu drank a lot of water again, and Du Yunzhao discussed the opening with Zhangzhu.

"I asked someone to calculate it a few days ago, and said that the Dragon Boat Festival is a good day."

When Zhangzhu heard this, he replied: "It's been so long to open during the Dragon Boat Festival." When I go back, I'll hurry up and make some five poison powders, and I can make a good profit with some incense, but unfortunately I can't buy musk, borneol and other things this time. ”

Yun Zhao said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy."

This is true, there is nothing in this world that money cannot do.

With Du Yunzhao coming forward, there is no need to worry about palm beads.

The group of them continued to move forward, and now they had to step up quickly, and Du Yunzhao did not dare to take risks with the goods. Over a hill, the sun was setting, but the shadow of the post station was still invisible.

Seeing that this was not good, Bao Yan asked Zhangzhu: "Will we sleep in the wild tonight?" ”

"It's not that you haven't slept rough, what are you afraid of?"

How can Bao Yan not be afraid, last time there were Song Ye and a few of them with high military strength, and now they are following with two nursing homes, and these two nursing homes are like bamboo poles, and I don't know if they can fight.

However, people are like this, the more they are afraid of something, the more they are afraid of something. When the sun had completely set down the hillside, the last rays of light were engulfed by the surrounding ink clouds.

After they had climbed down a mountain, Zhangzhu heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and she couldn't help but pull the curtain and look out.

But they saw seven or eight horsemen running towards them, and they were wearing hats, gray caftan brown, some with swords at their waists, and some with bows and arrows, but because the brim of their hats was low, they could not see what they looked like. The horses were fat and strong, and they were running towards them with great vigour.

Zhangzhu said to Du Yunzhao with a solemn face: "Third brother, don't provoke them. ”

"There are a lot of people on the other side, and they don't know what is good, why should I provoke them, I just want to be not a bandit or a bully." Du Yunzhao pulled down the curtain and said to the palm beads in the car; "Sister Fu, don't worry, the third brother protects you, even if something happens, he will definitely not let those people hurt you."

Bao Yan leaned on the palm beads nervously, but her body couldn't stop shaking, and she quickly recited the Buddha's name in her mouth, praying for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

When the two teams were about to pass by, suddenly a man on the opposite side shouted: "Stop! ”

Du Yunzhao signaled the team to stop, but he didn't get out of the car, and shouted at the man: "What do you have to say, uncle?" He spoke in a modest tone.

"What's on the car?"

Du Yunzhao secretly felt that something was wrong, and he pressed the concern in his heart and circled with the man: "It's some hay." ”

The man who shouted did not seem to believe it, and suddenly drew the sword from his waist and plunged it into a bag, which was fluffy and fluffy, and not of any value.

But the man soon understood what was inside, and he snorted coldly: "I want these medicines, you can go!" ”

This is a blatant robbery, Du Yunzhao still didn't get out of the car, the two parties really fought, and he also had to protect the people in the car. If the palm bead is hurt a little, the old lady will not be able to spare him when she goes back.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, this is what we eat, how can we give it to you. Please also give the uncles a way to go. ”

"If you don't give it, then you have to rob it." The one who shouted for the leader rushed up with his sword. The Du family's nursing home hurriedly stepped forward to meet the enemy. The accomplices wearing hats in the back also rushed up to help, and the two sides finally had a fight.

Du Yunzhao said again through the curtain and palm beads; "Girl, no matter what happens, you have to stay in the car, don't come down."

"Yes!" Zhangzhu replied that her cousin was a defenseless person, and he was afraid that he didn't even have the strength to defend himself, and that he was still a little lonely with those two nurses, and the worst result was that those people would snatch the medicine and leave, and it would be lucky not to hurt their lives.

Bao Yan's whole body trembled even more, and she even curled up her whole body, extremely frightened.

The Du family has two nursing homes, and those men who help push the cart are just ordinary people, and they don't have much power to fight back when they really show their swords.

Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Du Yunzhao knew that the situation was not very good recently, but he didn't expect to encounter bandits. Those medicinal materials can be bought again if they are lost, no matter how precious they are, they are nothing outside the body, and the most important thing at the moment is to save their lives. He hurriedly ordered the coachman: "The situation is unfavorable, drive quickly!" ”

The cart began to run as fast as it could, but it had not gone far, when the horses came after them, blocking their way, as if they did not want to let them go so easily.
