In this way, the little wolf cub lived in the good doctor's workshop, it was only more than a month old, the milk teeth did not retreat, and when it walked, it was often too full to eat, and it was a little shaky, and it was not good to attract people.

Of course, what Liu Qingxin likes the most is that she quickly learned how to get along with the people in the yard, and at night, even if she sleeps in her room, she never messes around, does not delay her sleep, defecates and so on, and never solves it in the house, twice a day, every time, she will obediently run to the yard with a stable and solve it in the horse manure heap.

At first, the horses were still afraid of it, and when they saw it approaching, they would instinctively snort and pinch their hooves, but after a few days, now it was just going to solve the drowning problem, and had no interest in them at all, so it gradually became less hostile to it, and some of them were more daring, like the half-brother of "Shocking Cloud", "Dawn", and even played with it, and became quite good friends.

Because the food was good enough and the amount was unlimited, the little wolf cub quickly grew up, and after living in the good medicine workshop for less than ten days, it grew as long as a fist, and it was almost visible to the naked eye, and continued to grow crazy day by day.

Liu Qingxin asked Sister-in-law Jiang to invite Zhou Laoer, a herbalist who supplied medicine to the Good Medical Workshop, and explained to him that next spring, she needs to buy some fresh herbs that have not been concocted to prepare some special effects of medicine to use, what price should it be, and what price should it be, but he needs him to take her to meet the herb picker who supplied him with medicine, and explain to them that the medicinal materials she wants, when they need to be picked, how to preserve them after picking, and when spring grass does not grow in this winter, Go around some of the places where these herbs are available and point them out, in case you miss the best time when it's time to pick them next spring.

Of course, she doesn't let her family work in vain on this cold day, one tael of silver per person, three meals, and those who are on duty in the camp at night will be given an extra tael.

Zhou Lao Er knew that Liu Qingxin was not a person with bad money, and he also relied on his friendship with the medicine pickers for many years, and was not afraid of being pried away, so after thinking about it for a while, he agreed with her, and in the afternoon of the same day, he brought more than a dozen medicine pickers to the courtyard of the good medicine workshop and introduced them to Liu Qingxin.

Approaching the end of the year, you can also get a tael of silver a day, which is very pleasing to the people of the herb pickers, think that they are usually in the good season for picking herbs, do not climb the mountain to the top of the mountain to go to those dangerous places to pick medicinal herbs, in a day, it is difficult to earn so much silver, especially after listening to Liu Qingxin said, in the camp built at night, every day to get an extra one or two silver subsidy, these herb pickers, even more boiling!

"I am a woman's family, and there is a child under the age of one, which is definitely not suitable for living in the camp, and there are a lot of tools to find medicinal materials, and it is a waste of time to move back and forth."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingxin paused slightly, raised his head, looked at Zhou Lao Er, who was standing five steps away from her, and continued to say, "It's winter, the days are short, if you carry tools back and forth, in a day, you have to fold most of the day, it's not cost-effective, my husband is not here, you can help me bother more, Zhou shopkeeper." ”

"Madame, don't worry! In the past few nights when I went out to get medicine, I also stayed in the camp, and together with them, I helped my wife take care of the tools and mark the location! ”

Zhou Lao Er is a herb merchant, of course, he can't go for the benefits of two taels of silver a day, he likes to study pharmacology, and feels that if he can follow Liu Qingxin to find herbs in this line, he will definitely have a "harvest", so that his understanding of many medicinal materials can be further improved...... With this kind of curiosity, it is naturally not worth embarrassing to pay a little hard work and live in the camp with the herb pickers, "Madame just told the little ones what the herbs they need to find are near and what they are called, and the little ones will take their masters and carefully look for marks in the vicinity!" ”

"Then it's time to bother the shopkeeper Zhou."

What Liu Qingxin wants, that is, the second child will also stay in the camp this week, he is a big herb merchant in this town, and there are many people in the family, if he can stay in the camp and watch the night with those medicine pickers, as a result, there will be no surprise, there will be people from his family to follow, and even, bring hunting dogs and horses with a keen sense of smell.

In this era when the lives of the poor were not valuable, the guards who had stolen the leaves of the golden tree for themselves a few years ago had taken possession of them, and now, when the rumors have passed, they want to melt the leaves of the golden tree and exchange them for gold...... Kill seven or eight medicine pickers without any scruples, but if you want to do something to someone like Zhou Laoer, who has some status and has a good reputation in this town, you still need to consider it.

After all, that person still didn't dare to be too ostentatious and eye-catching.

A few poor medicine pickers died, at most, the families of those medicine pickers went to the government to make trouble, and the government symbolically checked it, but it couldn't find anything, and that's it, even if it was found out to be related to the army...... It's the same as not daring to speak out, but a businessman like Zhou Laoer, whose family has business in the imperial capital, is different!

The government of this town doesn't care, his family still went to the imperial capital to sue and beg for help, and when the time came, the order of a "thorough investigation" from above came down, and this shady thing couldn't be contained!

Since the man who guards the self-theft has endured it for several years, and has not used the gold, he naturally has the patience to be safe, and he will wait a few more days.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, no matter how rare the money is, they will also go home to Chinese New Year's Eve eat, so they will dig up a few horse carcasses to come out, find a few safe people, and dig it up in a few hours, and then take advantage of everyone to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and will not run out of the city to wander around the stalls, cut out the gold from the horse carcasses, pack it and transport it to the smelting shop that no one will patronize during the New Year, and gather it into gold ingots...... On such a cold day, when people go back and finish the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, when they come back the next day, the soil can be frozen again, and no traces of trouble will be left, why not?

It's early, not late.

Although Liu lightly expected that the person who borrowed the horse carcass to bury the gold would choose to bring people to dig up the gold on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but just in case, and to cooperate with Ling Jun's "action", she still decided to let Zhou Laoer take the medicine pickers to the foot of the mountain as soon as possible, and build the camp on the frozen soil where the horse corpses were buried, and put pressure on the three people who were not sure whether it was one of the three people who did not die that year, or all the guards who stole themselves, and made them panic.

Emperor Longqing is also the king of a country, no matter how much he attaches importance to the matter of this golden tree leaf, he cannot stay in a remote town that is not the imperial capital on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and do not go to the annual palace banquet.

If she wants this to happen, she must put enough pressure on that person, let that person mess up, dig things out in advance, and let Emperor Longqing see it with her own eyes!

The day after giving Zhou Lao Er an advance of 100 taels of silver, after noon, Liu Qingxin asked the coachman Lao Wang to prepare a carriage, hugged the little wolf cub who had grown up several times, and went straight to the east gate of the town, and met Zhou Lao Er and a group of medicine pickers who had made an appointment to gather there.

Under the advance instruction of Liu Qingxin, the coachman Lao Wang inquired with Lao Yang, who collected the dung, about the approximate location of burying the horse carcasses in advance, and after meeting Zhou Lao Er and the medicine picker, he drove in front of him and went straight to that place.

After burying the carcasses of the horses, before leaving, he deliberately looked back again, whether he had dropped his own shovels and shovels and other tools, and took a look more, naturally, he was more familiar with the place where he was tired and weak, and the person who buried the things, in order to find it easier for himself in the future, must also find something that can be used as a mark, for example, next to the soil pit, there is a crooked neck tree with a thick bowl.

Zhou Lao Er paid ten taels of silver to each medicine picker in advance, and kept twenty taels in his hand in case of emergency, the eight medicine pickers got the silver in hand, and handed it over to their respective families, so they all wore thick clothes, took a medicine basket and a medicine shovel and other tools, and went out happily.

The little wolf cub whined and followed Liu lightly for a few days, eating well, drinking well, and sleeping in a warm place, from time to time, and she helped to smooth the hair, naturally without hesitation, and identified her as the owner who was incomparably good to it, wherever she went, it followed where she didn't say, and when someone else talked to her in a higher voice than usual, she had to bare her teeth and threaten to express its dissatisfaction with that person.

In Liu Qingxin's words, this little guy will be a protector in the future, look at the present, this milk tooth has not retreated, he dares to be so fierce with others, and when he grows up, he will save his teeth and threaten to save it, and he will bite it directly.

When he went to the livestock market to buy a whining and came back, the coachman Lao Wang because he saw that it was thin and small, and he had no energy, so he did not have any hope that it could be raised, and he did not want to, he casually said to Liu Qingxin, suggesting that she buy another dog to prepare, it was hated by it, no matter how he "bought and co-opted", he refused to forgive, even through his hands, the meat brought out of the kitchen, it was rather hungry, and never smelled it, and the water poured into the basin through his hand was also rather thirsty, and never licked it.

The coachman Lao Wang was born in the military, and his favorite thing is something with backbone, and he doesn't buy oil and salt for his own "buying", instinctively, 1152
