Chapter 35 - There is a Female Hanyue (I)

Demon Spirit Continent, Qi Kingdom, Ruocheng.

Today, there was a rain in the sky of Ruocheng, a holy dew that would moisten the whole earth. Raindrops fell sparsely over the castle, brushing away the dust accumulated on the roof, and the people couldn't help but come out of their homes and soak in the moist and incomparably comfortable air.

This is indeed the first rain since the beginning of winter, because it is only in the early winter season, it does not seem so cold, and the clothes worn by the people are not too thick cotton clothes. The weather in Wakaki has been a little dry since the beginning of winter. However, today's rain and dew, which was not too big, soaked the dry air around Ruocheng, making the weather look slightly humid.

After the rain, the sky is slightly reflected in the colorful morning glow, at this time it is the early morning, the rain and dew sprinkle over the earth to wipe away all the dust, leaving only the happy and busy life of this day.

In the morning, the kind and industrious people started a new day's work early, some people brought hats and hoes to the fields to maintain the land, and now there is no need to farm, so these simple and kind people are idle and bored, every day they have to resist the hoe to go to their own fields so walk, not only that, they also often care about how other people's farm work is doing. There are even cases where they meet a person who is very happy to talk to, shake the hoe, pick the hat, and sit casually between the fields. It's also common to spend hours chatting with others.

After the women sent their husbands and brothers out of the house, they naturally returned to their rooms without outrage, and sat on the simple sewing machines owned by every family with their hands and feet neatly and delicately, and on silk with one or two pieces of cloth, and began their own day. The life of ordinary people is very simple and plain, but in this it is a simple, kind and fairyland-like life.

Walking west from the concentrated residential area in Ruocheng City, crossing two bluestone stone bridges, the west gate of Ruocheng City is facing a pharmacy, and a red flag is hung outside the door of this pharmacy, on which are written "Precious Pharmacy" four distinct characters, on the surface it looks very loud. When you actually walk into this pharmacy, you will find that the medicinal materials here are really very valuable, but such a flamboyant name is one of the reasons why customers from all over the world come to watch and patronize.

The area of the pharmacy is not large, probably only one or two acres of land, and in the front hall of the pharmacy hangs precious medicinal materials, including ordinary angelica and peony, as well as precious deer antler velvet and ginseng. At the entrance of the pharmacy hang two of the most precious Zizhi spirit grasses, these two Zizhi spirit grasses are also used as the signboard of the town store because of their long age and the fact that the purple mushroom spirit medicine can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life. Standing on the counters on either side of the shop were two men in civilian clothes, who were busy greeting the people who had come to buy medicinal herbs. At this time, the bamboo curtain in the back hall was lifted, and out of the back hall came a middle-aged man in a golden robe with silver teeth and two small iron balls in his hand. The people who came to buy medicine were quite wealthy, and when they saw the figure of the shopkeeper striding out, many people bowed slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Liu is good." ”

"Well, everyone remember to line up. The middle-aged man waved to them slightly, but he continued to walk outside the store. Apparently there was some reason why he left in such a hurry. The people didn't care about this, and continued to buy medicine with the two of them who were sitting in the pharmacy.

Since it was early in the morning, there were still a lot of people who came to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and the two men counted the abacus in their hands while collecting the silver money handed by the people, and even had to free one hand to seal the herbs that the people wanted and handed them to the people in front of them. It was indeed a busy time for these two guys, and they couldn't help but start silently hoping that they could relax for a while.

It's a pity that things often backfire, and the two guys are still tirelessly collecting money, counting medicines, and wiping sweat. I wanted to hope to have some time to rest, but the people began to queue up, and the queue had even reached the door of the pharmacy, and there were many people standing in line to buy medicine next to the banner of the "precious pharmacy".

Just as the people gathered at the door of the pharmacy and were queuing up to buy medicine, a strange face suddenly poked out from the alley behind the pharmacy. If you look closely, you will see that this face belongs to a little girl who is no more than five or six years old.

This little girl was wearing very ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and even the coarse cloth clothes had a lot of patches and holes, and she was dragging very ordinary straw sandals on her feet, and even her hands and feet were stained with a lot of muddy soil. Only those eyes are so innocent, clear and transparent eyes are as gentle and moving as the elves of the midnight.

The little girl blinked her big clear eyes, and her gaze stared directly at the two purple mushroom spirit grasses hanging at the door of this medicine shop. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and crept over quietly, pretending to line up at the end of the line to buy medicine, but in fact she didn't even have a copper plate on her. She just wanted these two Zizhi elixirs very much, but the price of these two Zizhi elixirs was really an unattainable number for such a little girl.

So, this little girl really had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that this medicine shop was crowded in the morning to find an opportunity to quietly take away these two Zizhi spirit grasses. Because, these two Zizhi Spirit Grasses are too important to this little girl.

"If you have these two Zizhi Spirit Grasses, your mother will be saved," the little girl thought of this, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes and muttering to herself in the bottom of her heart. She wanted to retrieve these two Zizhi Spirit Grass for her mother at all costs.

"Hanyue, why did you come here alone? Do you want to grab medicine for your mother again?" There were several older people in the crowd who knew this little girl who was only five or six years old and looked very abrupt standing in the crowd. These old people looked a little unbearable, and they touched the little girl known as "Han Yue", and their faces were filled with a hint of doting expression.

"Hmm" The little girl lowered her head, the tears in the corners of her eyes finally dripped to the ground, she couldn't tell her true purpose for coming here, otherwise she would definitely be sent to the government by someone with good deeds. Especially the shopkeeper Liu of this pharmacy, although this little girl is still ignorant, she has also witnessed an old woman who can't afford to buy medicinal materials ask for medicine for her broken son, but the shopkeeper Liu ruthlessly kicked out of the pharmacy. The little girl didn't dare to do this, but her mother's helpless and pleading expression welled up in her heart, and the little girl couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, nodded gently, and stopped talking.

The surrounding elderly people didn't know that the little girl's target was actually two Zizhi Spirit Grasses hanging on this medicine shop, and the price of these two Zizhi Spirit Grasses was enough to spend the savings of a poor family for a lifetime. This little girl's family background is also known to these old people, and their family is very difficult. When Han Yue's mother tried her best to give birth to her daughter, she went to find the general, but she never thought that the general would turn his face and not recognize people, and also beat Han Yue's mother, Han Yue's mother was exhausted, and this fell to the root of the disease. He is now bedridden.

As the so-called poor people's children are in charge of the family early, Hanyue is a very sensible girl, she has already helped her mother do some things when she was only four years old. After her mother was completely bedridden now, the burden of the whole family fell on Han Yue alone. What a difficult thing it was for a little girl who was only five or six years old, and her mother's condition had taken a turn for the worse, coughing day and night all day and night, Han Yue was terrified when she heard it, for fear that her mother would leave her like this. So, Han Yue really had no choice but to go to this pharmacy that someone had mentioned to find a way to treat her mother. It's a pity that she can't afford the medicinal materials here at all, and in desperation, she can only choose the most risky steal.

Han Yue's time to ponder passed very quickly, and she didn't even think about her simple plan before she found herself standing on the threshold of the medicine shop, and the two Zizhi Spirit Herbs hanging above her head were those two purple mushrooms.

Han Yue was not tall enough, she tried to stand on tiptoe and grab upwards vigorously, but she couldn't catch the two Zizhi Spirit Grasses hanging on the doorrail. Han Yue was actually afraid of being discovered by the villagers around her, so this little girl's tiptoe movements seemed very careful, which may also be one of the reasons why she couldn't reach the two Zizhi Spirit Grass on top of her head.

Han Yue was very careful in order to pick these two Zizhi Spirit Grasses, and finally seized an opportunity when the eyes of the villagers around her did not notice her, she tried her best to stand on tiptoe again and try to grab the two Zizhi Spirit Grasses on top of her head. Just when Han Yue tried his best to stand on tiptoe and almost grabbed the two purple mushroom spirit grasses on top of his head. Suddenly, a strong force was exerted from her back, and this strong force was directly applied to Han Yue's back, pushing Han Yue, who had no power to resist, to the ground. Han Yue was defenseless, and fell directly on the threshold of the pharmacy with a "poof-" sound.

With such a loud voice, the people who had not noticed Han Yue around all turned their eyes, and they saw a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a fat face and a slightly half-closed and half-open golden robe with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, and said hatefully to the little girl who fell to the ground: "Gao Hanyue! I've always thought that you were a child and didn't be cruel to you, and you didn't steal the medicine from my store once or twice, and I kept pretending not to see it. But you don't have to take an inch! You show the villagers, what are you stealing now? These two purple mushrooms are priceless, can you afford them? I think you are a child, I can not send you to the government to suffer, but don't let me see you again in the future, otherwise, I will send you to reunite with your mother underground!"

The middle-aged man's repeated questioning made the aggrieved expression on the face of Gao Hanyue, a little girl who was only five or six years old, and she knew that her behavior had always been seen. Originally, Gao Hanyue thought that she could save her mother in this way, but now, in the face of this middle-aged man with a hideous face, Gao Hanyue has no way. Without these two purple mushrooms, he might not have been able to save his mother's life.

Thinking of the sadness, Gao Hanyue couldn't help lowering her head, choked with a whimper, and the middle-aged man with a mouthful of silver teeth instructed his two men to throw Gao Hanyue into the street, and from then on she was not allowed to step into his pharmacy again. The people around them couldn't bear it, but they didn't dare to say a word because of this powerful middle-aged man. These people watched Gao Hanyue's helpless figure being thrown onto the street by the two guys, and the people passing by around didn't dare to help Gao Hanyue. Let Gao Hanyue sit alone on the bluestone road and sob.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Gao Hanyue sat helplessly on the street as a little girl, looking at the people on the street with slightly red eyes, casting sympathetic glances at her but not daring to pull her along. Just when she thought she was a child that no one cared about, suddenly two very gentle voices came from her side.
