Early the next morning, when Mingyue went to see Feng Chengcheng, he had already set off for the Western Wilderness. Mingyue simply cleaned up and returned to the Immortal Cultivation Academy with the pills. She had only been in the Immortal Cultivation Academy for two days, and Yan Dan hurriedly came to the academy to look for her.

At this time, Yan Dan was sweating profusely, there were dark circles around his eyes, there were still a few blood marks on his face, his clothes were disheveled, his face was yellow, and his expression looked haggard and helpless.

Mingyue was shocked, is this still the polite and smiling Senior Brother Yan Dan?

Mingyue asked suspiciously, "Yan Dan, aren't you accompanying the beauties in the Medicinal Material Valley?" Why did you run back on your own? What about them? ”

Yan Dan saw Mingyue as if he saw a savior, grabbed Mingyue and said anxiously: "Mingyue, something is wrong." ”

Mingyue also asked nervously: "Brother Yan, don't worry, say slowly, what happened?" ”

Yan Dan scratched her hair irritably, and told what happened with a sad face.

Two days ago, Yan Dan led the two golden branches and jade leaves to the Medicinal Herb Valley. The medicinal herb valley is located in the southeast direction of the head of Danmen Mountain, the mountain road is rugged, the primeval forest covers the sky and the sun along the way, it takes more than an hour to walk, and it is the cultivation base of important medicinal materials in Shushan Xianmen.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water on one side, facing the direction of the rising sun, the location is remote and quiet, and the sunshine is abundant, which is a good place to grow medicinal herbs.

In the Valley of Medicinal Materials, the endless growth of various medicinal materials is gratifying, and at the end is a few rows of small courtyards of bamboo buildings, where the disciples who grow medicinal materials are fed and lodging.

Dozens of stewards and disciples have been set up in the medicinal herb valley, who work hard here every day, cultivating, planting, weeding and fertilizing, harvesting and drying, etc.

Yan Dan had also been to the Medicinal Material Valley a few times before, and he had some understanding of the things over there. Although the two beautiful girls had pretty faces along the way, he still explained the taboo matters about the medicinal herb valley very responsibly.

The steward in charge of the medicinal herb valley is named Chonglou, he doesn't know what the origin is, and he doesn't know how old he is, in short, he only knows that Chonglou is a veteran figure with considerable qualifications in the Shushan Xianmen, and he is also a master of cultivating herbal medicine.

Shushan Xianmen has a long history, and all the elders have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and any old man who sweeps the floor may be a master of cultivating immortals.

Legend has it that this senior brother of Chonglou loves herbs and is obsessed with herbs, and regards herbs as his life, so don't provoke his precious herbs casually, otherwise it is very likely that he will not be able to eat them.

Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu both kept a straight face and didn't say a word, and Yan Dan took the trouble to explain along the way, and I don't know if they listened or not.

Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu reluctantly walked with Yan Dan all the way, and when they saw that the surrounding area was full of primeval forests and the roars of wild beasts in the distance, they were already displeased in their hearts, and they were not interested in taking care of a little scholar.

After the three of them walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the Medicinal Material Valley, Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu saw that there were not only large areas of medicinal fields and more than a dozen busy Shushan disciples here, so the two of them looked at me and me, and they were dumbfounded, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak.

The two of them are also golden branches and jade leaves, delicate and expensive, and they have a group of slaves to serve them on weekdays, and they haven't even poured a glass of water. The two of them looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes.

Nalan Meidai snorted coldly and said, "It must be that little slut who did it, otherwise how could my cousin let me come here to suffer." ”

Murong Diewu looked around, pursed her lips and said, "This place is deserted, and I have to do those lowly things, it is indeed not a place for people with status such as me to stay." ”

A hint of hatred flashed in Nalan's bright eyes, and she put this account on Mingyue's head.

Yan Dan hurriedly went to look for Senior Brother Chonglou, the steward of the Medicinal Material Valley, and searched for a long time before finding it in the distant medicine field. Senior Brother Chonglou led a few Danmen disciples to plant seedlings.

Yan Dan bowed respectfully and explained his intentions, but saw Senior Brother Chonglou holding a handful of herbs in his hand, and looked at the two girls in Chinese clothes standing on the edge of the medicine field from a distance, his eyes flickered, and he was noncommittal, Yan Dan's face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at him with a blank look waiting for him to reply.

Senior Brother Chonglou looked at Yan Dan and said:

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Yan Dan had dealt with him a few times before, so he was relatively familiar.

After Senior Brother Chonglou approached, he found that it was two beautiful girls in delicate costumes, seeing that they looked high-spirited and had no one in their eyes, their backgrounds must be extraordinary, and they didn't even look at him.

Senior Brother Chonglou didn't like it in his heart, his face immediately pulled down, and he looked very unhappy: "This stinky boy, send me two yellow-haired girls to avenge the last time." ”

Yan Dan smiled awkwardly when he heard this. This senior brother is good at cultivating new varieties of herbs, and it is said that he has cultivated many extinct medicinal herbs. Last time, Feng Chengcheng personally came to ask for a herb, but was rejected by Senior Brother Chonglou on the grounds that "the quantity is not large and it is still under development".

Nalan Meidai asked angrily, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Yan Dan hurriedly said: "This is Senior Brother Chonglou, the supervisor of the Medicinal Material Valley, even the head of Feng has to give three points of courtesy, and they must not be rude." ”

Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu saw the tall figure of the visitor, their black hair was held by a wooden hairpin, their hands and bodies were covered with mud, they looked about thirty years old, wearing a light-colored robe, their complexion was white and pure, but they had a rather handsome face. This person looks like a medicine farmer who cares for medicinal herbs, but he actually looks like a weak and suave scholar.

Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu glanced at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes, as well as a hint of contempt.

They didn't expect that there would be such a graceful Shushan disciple hidden in this corner of the place, although Senior Brother Chonglou was very handsome and had a good temperament, but unfortunately he was only a medicine farmer from the Shushan Immortal Sect, and he couldn't get into their eyes, so he just symbolically arched his hand to him as a salute.

Senior Brother Chonglou saw their contempt in his eyes, snorted coldly and said to Yan Dan: "There are many places to live here, clean up by yourself, if you want to eat yourself, you will go to pull weeds for the herbs in the afternoon." ”

"What? Weeding? The two beauties stopped hearing it, they had admired all kinds of flowers and plants, and they had even done very little to pick flowers, and it was not their job to say that they had never done weeding.

Yan Dan hurriedly said, "Let's go and see the room first." After speaking, he led the two reluctant beauties to the accommodation place to take a look.

There are a lot of rooms in the medicinal herb valley, and the courtyard of each independent courtyard is very large, except for the senior brother of Chonglou who occupies an independent courtyard, there are many spare rooms, and the bedding is complete, but because no one has lived for a long time, it has long been dusty and dirty.

Yan Dan said so badly, and finally persuaded the two of them to stay, of course the two golden branches and jade leaves disdained to clean up, besides, they wouldn't.

Yan Dan had to clean up the room for the two beauties in person, and finally cleaned it up, but she was half tired to death, and the two beauties said that they were hungry and went back to Danmen if they had nothing to eat. They don't touch the spring water with their fingers, and they haven't even seen a spatula, so where can they cook?

Yan Dan was depressed but helpless, so he had to run into the kitchen non-stop, the kitchen was also unused for a long time, and he didn't bother to do such a thing when he wanted to come to the senior brother of the heavy building for a long time.

Fortunately, there are quite a lot of pots and pans, oil, salt, rice and noodles here, and a lot of vegetables are planted outside the kitchen.

Yan Dan is a big man, and he has never cooked well, but it is still no problem to cook it. After a busy day, he finally cooked a pot of rice and fried a green vegetable. When the meal was served, the two beauties reluctantly sat down at the table. When I picked up the bowl and saw that the rice was mushy, there was only a few yellow vegetables, where was the appetite?

The two beauties were so angry that they immediately quarreled with Yan Dan, and they had to go back to Danmen to find Feng Chengcheng's theory.

Yan Dan was also angry in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Elder Feng arranged for the two of them to come over, and he must hope that the two of them can learn some skills here with peace of mind. To know that if you want to enter the Danmen, mastering the knowledge of herbal medicine is the most basic requirement. If the two of them went back like this, it was conceivable what Elder Feng would think of the two of them. ”

Nalan Meidai and Murong Diewu looked at each other and exchanged glances, and finally Nalan Meidai nodded slightly, and the two of them were reluctant

The land stayed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Dan led them to pull weeds according to the requirements of Uncle Chonglou.

Here are patches of leek-like herbs, and there are four or five acres of verdant herbs in the eyes, and I don't know when it will be pulled out. But since Senior Brother Chonglou arranged for them to pull out the weeds, Yan Dan didn't dare to say anything, in case he offended Senior Brother Chonglou and was taken away, he wouldn't be able to give an account to Feng Qicheng.

Under the scorching sun, two beautiful girls in gorgeous clothes stood cautiously on the edge of the muddy ridges, half-squatting little by little, looking for weeds that looked very similar to herbs. The embroidered shoes under their feet, the hem of their expensive dresses were already covered with mud, their pretty faces were crimson from the scorching sun, and the sweat was like rain, and they became more and more angry, pulling weeds again and again, and their tender white fingers were stained with fresh mud and inky black grass juice, and they were so disgusting that they wanted to vomit.

Senior Brother Chonglou and Yan Dan sat under the parasol on the side, sipping fragrant tea, and watching the two delicate beauties working in the fields. Senior Brother Chonglou looked at the two of them while sipping tea, and raised some opinions from time to time: "How do you pull the weeds?" You know if you want to uproot it? ”

"How can we keep the grass still in the middle of the herbs, and throw it into the basket after pulling it up."

"You're so weak, haven't you eaten?"

Yan Dan looked at the two golden branches and jade leaves with sad and angry faces, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Nalan Meidai saw that Senior Brother Chonglou was very leisurely, they were basking in the sun here, doing coolies, and enduring his accusations, and the anger in her heart was not in one place. She whispered to Murong Diewu, "What should I do?" It's so hot, my skin is tanned, and there's all this disgusting dirt and grass juice, I don't want to do it anymore. ”

Murong Diewu also nodded and said, "I have to think of a way, I can't be ridiculed to death if I do this kind of lowly work!" She thought for a moment and whispered an idea to Nalan Meidai.

Yan Dan was nervous, but he heard Murong Diewu cry out in a panic: "Princess Nalan, what's wrong?" Wake up! Wake up! ”

As soon as Yan Dan looked up, he saw Princess Nalan Meidai lying on a large piece of herbs, her eyes were closed, her pretty face was crimson, and she had fainted.

Senior Brother Chonglou was so angry that he stood up and shouted, "Be careful, how many herbs have crushed me?" I'm so, I'm so! ”

Yan Dan was shocked, and hurriedly ran down with Murong Diewu to help Nalan Meidai up, seeing that she just fainted from the heat and was fine, he helped her back to the room with Murong Diewu to rest.

"It's not a big deal, I think I'm tired." Senior Brother Chonglou helped Nalan Meidai to call the pulse, and said to himself: "I fell down before I started to do things, it can't be pretended, right?" ”

Murong Diewu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, she was a little uncomfortable last night." ”

Senior Brother Chonglou said angrily: "If you don't feel uncomfortable, then continue to pull weeds." ”

Murong Diewu gritted her teeth in anger, and she suddenly clutched her stomach and shouted, "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts so much." Senior Brother Yan Dan, isn't there a problem with breakfast? After speaking, he squatted down in pain while holding his stomach, his face flushed.

"I ......" Yan Dan was so angry, seeing that the two of them were lying on the bed, he had to let him serve tea and pour water, and he had to serve that after serving this, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he couldn't get a good word, he simply had the heart to die.

Senior Brother Chonglou had already walked out angrily, looking out of sight and out of mind.

After a while, Senior Brother Chonglou turned back and stood at the door of the room and shouted: "What two little girls, they dare to crush me to death dozens of Zhuyu grass, which I cultivated for three years before planting." ”

Senior Brother Chonglou walked in angrily and drank at the two people lying on the bed. However, the two people on the bed were so frightened that they didn't move, pretending to be asleep, and they were unmoved by Senior Brother Chonglou's spittle on his face, as if they hadn't heard it.

Senior Brother Chonglou was so angry that he stomped his feet and slammed the door.

Yan Dan stood there in horror, but when he saw the eyes of the two aunts and grandmothers on the bed quietly opening a slit and peeking, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, when will such a day come to an end!
