That night, I secretly asked Xiao Nuan: "Xiao Nuan, is Gongzi Yan your sweetheart?" ”

She let out a low "um", and then said for a long time: "Every time Mr. Yan comes to the pharmacy, he will bring us small gifts, and he will tell me a lot of new things outside, and others are fine." ”

"Did he ask you anything?"

"Yan Gongzi only asked me how these herbs were grown, and so on. Why did my sister say that? ”

"I'll tell you, the next time that boy comes back, don't take him into the backyard again. If any herb is trampled on, the master will be blamed, and do you want to punish you for copying the scriptures a hundred times? ”

Xiao Nuan shook her head.

Recently, there are more customers who come to the pharmacy, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke during dog days, so the number of people who come to grab medicine naturally increases, and the related medicinal materials in the medicine warehouse also decrease quickly. Tao San and Xiao Nuan were busy with anxiety, the master and his old man have been going out to treat some noble people recently, and the matter of going up the mountain to collect medicine had to be handed over to me, or in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple. Originally, the mountain was dangerous, and Tao San was ready to go by himself, but I still tried my best to go.

As usual, I came out of the pharmacy with a basket on my back and walked to the watchtower in the middle of the city. Li Teng, as usual, stood on the watchtower, overlooking Shangdu. I jumped up and waved my hand to get his attention, shouting and jumping, and he didn't even look at the soldiers next to me to remind him. Hmph, he would have nodded to me before, but fortunately, I'm used to his hot and cold attitude.

I made another big circle to get to the edge of Xiangguo Temple. Climbing the mountain was a chore, I would sit on the steps to wipe my sweat, I would hide in the shade of a tree and enjoy the shade, and I would breathe a sigh of relief when I had climbed to the flat ground.

I don't know if the pill I took before had side effects, and there was a slight labor pain in the abdomen, or maybe it was because a normal person couldn't control it after taking a more medicinal medicine.

I rested for a while, felt good, and then walked deeper and higher into the forest.

This time it wasn't that long after the last time, and it took a while for the flowers and plants to regrow, so I had to go deeper to collect them. To avoid getting lost, I draw stars on a tree every other mile.

On one side of the rock wall, I was surprised to find a large reishi mushroom growing in the crack above. Ganoderma lucidum is difficult to grow, and being able to survive in such an environment shows that this Ganoderma lucidum must have a very precious value.

In order to mine it, I tried to climb the rock wall, but luckily the rock wall is not too high, but it is a little steeper.

Almost, just a little.

"Ahh

I threw the lingzhi into the back basket and stood up against the rock wall. Just don't fall down!

I rubbed my ass and continued up the hill.

There was a loud noise in the forest, and suddenly two men appeared in front of me, shouting "Stop". One was barehead and shoulderless, and the other was with a large knife and long hair. The two of them looked at each other with a fierce look, and when they saw that I was a woman, they looked at each other and smiled.

The bald head said to the long hair: "It's a girl, bring her over to the king to be a lady of the village, so that we can also receive the reward!" ”

The long-haired smiled lewdly and nodded, coming over to catch me.

I've met a bandit!

"Hey, hey, hey, the two eldest brothers have something to say. In this way," I hurriedly put down my basket and took out the Ganoderma lucidum, "I will give you this Ganoderma lucidum, will you let me go?" Lingzhi is very useful—"

Who knew that the two of them didn't listen at all, and were ready to set me up.

"Stop, stop, I have something to say-"

"Don't grind, girls, if you have anything to say, hurry up and finish it here!" The bald head said impatiently, letting go of me, and the long hair was on my side with one hand, and the other hand was crossed at the waist, and his face was hideous and twisted, and his face was covered with scars.

"I, I, I still have a sweetheart, I want to give my sweetheart something before you are arrested to be the lady of the village."

Changfa sneered: "Yo, there is also a sweetheart, what do you want to send to the master, the master will help you bring it to him!" ”

I asked him to come closer, and I quietly took out the powder I had with me from the placket of my coat, and stood up and splashed it, but the bald head behind me grabbed my neck, took the bag and threw it away.

Long hair brushed his hair, and glared at me angrily: "The dead woman is really looking for death!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed me by the collar and tried to slap me.

The bald head said impatiently: "Don't rub it off, let's leave quickly, if there are officers and soldiers catching up, it will be over!" I'm still waiting to explain! ”

The two of them scolded and dragged me up the mountain, covering my mouth with their bald heads, and I didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere.

The potholed mountain road stretches all the way, and a boulder is engraved with the words "Pomegranate Village", and there is a thick wall around it after entering. The men cheered at the sight of me, and they all stood in their way and leaned their faces closer to me as if I were an unknown creature.

"Get out of the way!" The bald head shouted. I closed my eyes tightly and was led into the village by the two of them.

I was thrown onto a piece of ground covered in tiger skins, and when I looked up, I saw a shirtless Scarface leaning against a stone bed. The woman with a plate of fruit on the side stuffed a grape into his mouth, Scarface squinting.

"King! Look what we've got for you! This little girl looks okay! The long hair was rough and rough, and I glanced at him fiercely, rubbing my aching arm.

Scarface spat out a mouthful of grape seeds and spoke: "Yo, you're pretty stubborn!" ”

The bald head stepped forward and bent down to the side and whispered: "King, those sisters-in-law in the village are in their twenties and thirties, and now the brothers have picked a tender one for you, although the appearance is not superior, but it has definitely not budded yet......"

I'm still the daughter of Zanghu, how can I suffer such a great shame!

I jumped up all of a sudden, pointed at the dead bald head and scolded, "What are you talking about! Do you know who my big brother is! My eldest brother is the most powerful iron cavalry warrior in Shuofang, and my second brother is the bronze hammer martial god of the Western Regions! You big bald and you ruffians just wait! Sooner or later, you will be trampled to death by horses' hooves and hammered to death. Oh yes, if you don't let me go, General Jingo will immediately take thousands of troops to level this stockade! Just wait and regret it! ”

Several people were blinded by the big words I blurted out, and after a while, the bald head touched his head and smiled: "King, it turns out that this little girl is a fool!" Hahahahaha-"

"You, you call me a fool? You're a fool! "I crossed my waist.

Scarface raised a glass of wine and drank it down, and sneered, "Say that a few of us are ruffians? Then Lao Tzu will let you take a good look at what a real ruffian and hooligan are! I don't know what to do, let's take her into a cage! ”

The bald head and long hair came up and dragged me straight out, and my whole face became distorted, and I shouted, "Hey! Where are you taking me? Aren't you afraid that General Jingo will come and take you all in prison! ”

A few people didn't listen to me at all, and I kicked the ground hard, but I was still locked in a big cage.

I struck the iron, and in a short time many strangely dressed men from the stockade gathered around the cage and stared at me curiously, as if they had never seen a woman. Even if I hold my breath in my heart, there is nowhere to diverge.

The cage was also stained with blood, and a fishy smell mixed with the smell of rusty iron, indicating that someone had died here before. I couldn't help but shudder.

At noon, they gave me neither food nor water to drink, intending to starve me to death here.

Shangdu is obviously so strict, every 300 steps a watchtower, but the hidden mountain is full of thieves, no matter how high the watchtower is, you may not be able to see everything on the mountain. Such a big cottage can grow up from under its nose.

A woman came up to me with a small bowl of water.

I excitedly grabbed the iron: "Auntie, you let me go!" ”

She lowered her eyes and shook her head, only said lightly: "Drink." ”

I took it from the gap, drank it all, then took her hand and said, "Auntie, you were also arrested here, right, you quietly let me go, I will definitely take you out with me!" ”

She sighed helplessly, took my hand away, and said, "There is no way to escape from this stockade, and the reason why they can be so bold and reckless is that there are high-ranking officials behind them." Girl, I advise you, if you are obedient, you will end well. ”

The bald head of the five big and three thick suddenly came over, slapped the woman, and scolded: "Dead girl, who asked you to give her water!" Get out of here and do your thing! ”

The woman whispered an apology and hurried away.

I gave me a blank look, he turned to me and said, "Don't be crazy, little girl, tonight is your death!" He snorted on the ground and walked away with his arms in his hands.

Most of these people are dogs who use their power to bully the weak.

Now we have to figure out how to get out. The minutes ticked by, and in the afternoon the clouds gathered and the wind picked up, and it could rain at night. I don't know if Tao San and they noticed that I was missing. I prayed in my heart.

The bald head said that tonight is my death, I don't want to die in a foreign land, and I lost my life for no reason.

Suddenly I thought of a way to try, my eyes lit up, I let go of my throat and shouted, "Is there anyone!" I'm in a hurry—is there anybody—"

I kept pounding the iron, and finally attracted a man, who looked at him fiercely, "What a noise!" Be restless before you die! ”

I said in a good voice: "Big brother, you can do well, as the saying goes, people have three urgency, can you let me go and relieve myself, I am so uncomfortable that I am dying!" ”

He hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't stand me anymore, so he impatiently opened the cage and said, "What kind of tricks do you have to play on me, you will be the one who will die then." ”

"Thank you, big brother, thank you."
