Let the police go with you?

This is not the outcome that the Staff Committee wants......

When Wu Qingchen was still thinking, the pastor had already begun to nod his head:

"Hmm...... I'll see which police officers are more suitable......"

"Derrick...... Bichel ...... Abner ...... There are many families of these three, they should have been busy ploughing, and they can accompany you to the forest, no, no, no, three seems to be too few......"

The priest spun around and continued the roll call: "And Nickles...... Heller...... These two families are less, but the cattle are not injured, and it seems that the grass was harvested yesterday, and they should be able to go to the forest, well, these are five of them...... Alvin...... Good ...... These two seem to be in trouble, why don't you add them as well......"

Three! Five! Heptad!

Wu Qingchen felt that his brain must have begun to sweat.

The police service in a small village in the medieval world is not like the earth police in the 21st century, which can be completely off-duty and only need to focus on their duties.

The police service in the village of Akrya, except for the leader Espil, is more of a form of labor than a public office.

These village police officers, who are well-off and have some trust, are exempted from part of the labor at the cost of completing the daily farm work of the family as heavy as the other villagers, and also help the steward and the priest to maintain the daily order in the village, as well as various temporary calls.

Around the time of the summer service, when farm work is at its busiest, such a day when the main labor force is drawn from the field, even for the pastor, is not an easy decision.

For these police officers, it was even more of a catastrophe.

"Let the police officer accompany me......" Wu Qingchen didn't want to be resentful for some reason, "...... Master...... There is a lot of work in the police service...... It doesn't seem good to trouble them at this time. ”

"It's not good, you don't have to worry about these ......"

There was an accident in which the cattle were collectively injured, and this year's harvest was like this anyway, and the priest didn't care very much," ...... The forest is very dangerous, and it is much safer to go to find herbs with the help of a police officer, and it will definitely be much faster than you alone. ”

"No need to look for it anymore! Belch...... I mean ......"

Speaking of this, Wu Qingchen smiled "impressively", "It's a little scary in the forest...... However, when I went to look for it myself a while ago, I found a lot of herbs on the side of the big stone a little past the middle water......

"What!" It was little Andrei's cry of surprise.

When Wu Qingchen was talking to the priest, because he didn't know anything about cattle control, and he was not interested in the villagers, helpers, and police officers who were almost from another world, little Andre stood next to him and remained silent, and when he heard what Wu Qingchen said at this time, little Andre finally couldn't help but be surprised and shouted: "Loos, you ran to the big rock!!? ”

"Over there on the big rock!" The priest was equally surprised: "Loth, you ran so far alone...... It's not fun! ”

The surprise of Andrei and the priest is normal.

The village of Aikri is a small basin surrounded by mountains, and most of the areas where the villagers live, live and work are these small plains and small hills divided by rivers and streams.

These developed or semi-developed areas are separated from the surrounding towering mountains, separated by hundreds of meters of winding forest.

These forests are the boundary between wilderness and civilization, the boundary between nature and agriculture, and they are also the main source of firewood fuel for the villagers.

After crossing these hundreds of meters of forest and continuing deeper, you will truly enter a cruel place ruled by nature, with poisonous snakes, fierce beasts, cliffs, mountain streams, torrents, thieves, and countless dangers.

The "big boulder that Wu Qingchen just mentioned" is a very conspicuous boulder that can be seen from the north of the village along a large stream all the way to the forest. - It is customary for the villagers to represent one of the important markers that have crossed the safety boundary.

"There's no way...... Wu Qingchen's expression was both innocent and helpless, "I've searched for the forests that are closer, and all the herbs I can find have already been used...... I had to go inside and have a second look......"

"No matter how you look at it, you can't run so deep alone!" The expression on little Andrei's face was very disapproving.

"A few days ago, didn't the ploughing cattle who want to be treated can't wait......" When he said this, Wu Qingchen's tone was natural, and he didn't show any merit, "Moreover, am I fine?" ”

How could anything happen to me?

I am the most familiar person in the entire village of Ackery with any danger in the hundreds of meters of forest.

"Well......" the priest asked, pacing back and forth, "Is there enough herbs found on the big rock?" ”

"Not ...... enough"

Wu Qingchen quickly shook his head, thought about it for a few seconds, and then said, "The herbs picked back from there are only enough to treat the remaining farming cattle for another two or three days...... Now, if you want to teach the cowherd helper how to do the same, you need more herbs......"

"Hmm...... Even if you find the big rock, it's not enough......" The priest stopped pacing and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How many herbs are missing?" ”

"About five or six, sir."

"Five or six words...... That's fine......"

Hearing this answer, the priest seemed relieved, "Well, don't run to those dangerous places anymore...... These herbs that are missing now, you can teach the police officer to know them later, and let them find them...... Anyway, they have to catch fugitive slaves every winter, and they are used to running! ”

It's a danger for Loos, and it's a habit for a police officer......

If he hadn't been standing next to him and had been hearing clearly, little Andre would have wondered if the place the teacher said was the same location.

While little Andrei was still silently studying the consciousness of the ruling class in his heart, the priest had already begun to nod his head again:

"Hmm...... Other than that...... Since you don't go to Loos, Darik ...... Bichel ...... Abner ...... Well, the three of them can go...... Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's actually not a big deal in the forest, and the other police officers should stay and do more work in the fields. ”

"Uh......" Wu Qingchen hesitated.

"What's wrong? You said! The pastor motioned to Wu Qingchen not to worry.

"If you are looking for medicinal herbs...... Wu Qingchen suggested: "Master, since you want to teach the cowherd to help the cowherd cure the cow, is it better to let them also look for medicinal herbs?" Anyway, when the cowherd helper goes back to his village, he must be doing this kind of work......"

"Hmm...... You're right......" the priest nodded repeatedly, "then let those two strangers go too...... Well, in that case, there would be no need for so many police officers...... Find a police officer to show them the way, Darick is good, and his house is close to the forest........."

"Uh......" Wu Qingchen hesitated a little.

"What's wrong? You said! The pastor once again signaled Wu Qingchen not to worry.

"If it's the first time you go looking for medicinal herbs...... Wu Qingchen suggested, "Master, maybe it's better for me to follow along." After all, if you only show them the leaves and rhizomes, I think that the cowherd helpers and police officers will not be able to recognize the real herbs when they enter the forest. ”

"Hmm......" After thinking for a few seconds, the priest nodded slowly.

After all, he was also a generalist who had been immersed in many years of medicine in the Middle Ages, such as "Falling Water", "Vomiting", "Coma", "Lying Bed", "Rolling", etc., and the priest knew very well that when a certain herb was plucked and it grew in its original place, it looked like two species; What's more, among the herbs used by Wu Qingchen, several of them only need a specific part of the plant, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between this single part of the herb.

"That's right......" After thinking clearly, the pastor agreed with Wu Qingchen's opinion, "The first time I went to the forest to look for pasture, I really need you to follow up with you." ”

"However, in that case......"

At this point, the pastor suddenly groaned for a long time, and involuntarily clasped his hands, and after a long time, he suddenly turned his head to his student.

Andrey ...... After the last sermon, I remember Cleo staying in church? ”

"Yes, teacher......" Little Andre touched his head, wondering why the priest suddenly changed the subject and asked about this when he was talking about medicinal herbs.

"Why did he stay?"

"He's looking for you!"

"I know......" the look on the pastor's face was serious, "I mean...... What is he looking for me for? ”

"He was in the forest, he was bitten by a snake, and you gave him holy water."

"How is he now?" The pastor continued to ask.

"It's not good, he was very lame when he passed by the church the other night......"

"Hmmm......"

The priest was satisfied with the answer to the first question, and smiled at little Andre, and the priest continued, "Did you see Alta's youngest son yesterday?" ”

"See."

"See his face?" The priest gestured to his face.

"See, his face is swollen."

"Do you know why?"

"Yes, he was beaten by his father."

"Why?"

"Little Alta grazes livestock in the forest during the day and comes home at night with one less chicken...... I don't know what I was bitten away! His father beat him! ”

"Hmmm......"

After asking this, the pastor turned to Wu Qingchen again and said earnestly, "Hear me...... It's still very dangerous in the forest......"

"I hear you." Wu Qingchen nodded seriously.

"Well, Looth......" Lord Praia began to command, "wait a minute, you will go to the barn, and call the two strangers......"

"Andrey, what about you, just run a few times in a minute, go and get ......"

Speaking of this, Master Praia, who turned to little Andrei, suddenly took a long and deep breath before continuing:

“…… Derick, Beech, Abner, Nickles, Heller, Alvin, Held...... Go and call all seven of them, come to the church and wait, and go into the forest with Loth! ”
