Chapter 0015 - Different
Sabina hid behind the herb shelf, her dim eyes rolling and her eyes wary and fearful.
According to Chuck, she was in her forties, with a sun-soaked face, dark and rough skin, but her body was dry and thin, and her face was clouded by fear, and she looked smaller and older.
There was also an old man standing with his waist bent, also thin as a monkey, and it was the carpenter next door, Si Techa, and at first glance the two were very husband and wife.
Elwin's arrival made them feel threatened, and everything in the realm belonged to the lord, including medicinal herbs and wood, and even people.
There was a bloody storm at the blacksmith shop, the Salted Fish Gang came and fled, and then the bearded Marlowe and the others came up with weapons on their backs, and the town had never been so chaotic and dangerous.
They were so anxious that they would be charged with stealing, confiscated and slaves, and the lords of the northern Bohai Lords, in order to prevent the theft of wood, medicinal herbs, and iron ore, had all the carpenters, healers, and blacksmiths caught and worked together, chained them to prevent them from escaping, and even had their legs lame.
This lord should be the same, starting with the blacksmith shop, Geig came to borrow a car from him, and he should be ready to move things to the castle, and then it is likely that it will be their turn.
As a result, they guessed correctly.
The two were discussing countermeasures with fear, and finally decided to avoid the limelight first, the meager family background could not be taken care of for the time being, and the small life was important, and the kung fu Sabina had already rolled up the cover, tied the knot, and could run away at any time. The carpenter was about to go home and pack his things, but Alvin blocked the door.
The two guards escorted Marlowe back to the castle with a dried salted fish to transport the Ironhoof Demon Bull, while Alwyn took the captain of the guard and two other guards to the town's only herb shop, only a few steps away, led by Chuck and Geig.
The business of the medicinal herb shop is very light, it costs money to buy medicine for treatment or barter medicine, everyone is poor in resources, and after getting sick, they can resist it, and they can't resist before they come to visit, and at that time, they are basically terminally ill.
Therefore, the patients treated by Sabina are basically not well, and everyone calls her an old witch behind her back, and having her to see a doctor is not a blessing, but a curse, saying that she can't bring hope for recovery, but can pry open the gates of hell.
But she is the only healer in the town.
The pharmacy is not small, crammed into several rows of shelves. I can only move around slowly on my side, and I have to endure the pungent smell of medicine. The guards pressed their swords to the left and right of the gate, Chuck and Geiger were outside, and Alvin was alone rummaging through the shelves, which were full of grass roots, bark, shriveled fruits, and dehydrated tubers, and withered yellow flowers.
"Where did the herbs come from?"
"Go to the mountain tribe for a change. ”
"In the mountains?" Alvin asked, putting down a dry grass root, "you can deal with the tribes of the mountains. ”
"For a different thing, they have bark rhizomes, and I have salted fish and sea salt, and each takes what he needs. ”
The room was damp and dark with only one door and a small window, and Alvin and Sabina were talking about medicinal herbs and remembering useful information.
As for Sabina, not a word entered her heart. She didn't dare to do anything to urge the lord to leave, so she had to deal with it carefully, and with some words, she just hoped that she wouldn't encounter trouble now, and as soon as the lord left with her front foot, she immediately fled with her back foot.
"That's a lot of piles. ”
"The sick have all been cured by the lord, and the old witch's medicine is of no use. ”
This sentence is gentle, sour.
Many of the injured people in the tavern needed to buy medicine from her, but it was good to be touched by Alvin, and there was no way to do business, Sabina complained in her heart and did not dare to speak out.
"Thanks for the compliment. Alvin wrote down the names of a dozen herbs to Sabina, "Need these, pack them all, how much?"
Sabina slowly packed the herbs, as if her own son was going to be taken away: "A silver coin." ”
The captain of the guard said, "My lord, these are all picked from your territory, they are all your property, and you don't need to pay for them. ”
Alvin smiled: "The things in the mountains and fields can only be collected at home. If you don't pay, you can only rot in the ground, how can anyone want to pick it?"
Sabina looked up and glanced at Alwyn with her old cloudy eyes.
"It seems that there is no future in curing diseases, but you can serve the lord, I need medicinal herbs, just the ones on the list, there are not many types, the amount is very large, if you do it well, you can make money to make a living. ”
Sabina's face was cloudy, and it was difficult to tell whether what Alvin said was true or false.
Alvin patted the packed herbs: "Just according to this ratio and amount, if you get enough to send a pack to the castle, there will be a silver coin." After saying that, he slapped a silver coin on the table, "Of course, if you want to run away, it will also be a travel fee." He pouted at the rolled-up cover.
There's no point in arguing or dwelling with an old woman, so Alvin doesn't bother to talk to her too much, not wanting to waste his mood.
Sabina was in this business, killing so many people (which is not fair), and being scolded by the old witch did not stop her from doing business, as long as there is money to be made, the lord hated by everyone should also be very cute.
"And you, Mr. Carpenter. Alvin turned his head to the thin old man, who pressed his body against the wall, eager to squeeze himself into the crack in the wall.
"Oh, my lord......," trembled as the carpenter Stecha, who was walking on thin ice.
"The wood and all kinds of manufacturing articles in the house belong to Baron Ben. ”
"Oh, yes, my lord, it's all yours. The carpenter knelt down with a voice, "My lord, spare ...... life."
"Hmm......" Alvin touched his chin, his words were not clear, and he frightened people, "Baron Ben means that everything in your house is paid for and bought, and I hope you will make more, the territory can be used, and the wood ...... What kind of felling is needed, how much is needed, there is no guilt, don't believe it, talk to Geiger, there is a pile of iron ore and coal in the blacksmith shop, and that kid is still standing outside the door and smiling like a flower?"
After speaking, he left with everyone, leaving the blacksmith's son to show up to the two thin men and women, and the two skilled people, if they really ran away, it was the loss of the town, that is, the loss of him, the lord.
The small pharmacy was a little quiet for a while, and both of them stared at the small metal discs.
"What a silver coin, a silver coin!?" Strongcha looked up, his eyes full of disbelief.
"I haven't seen the queen for a long time, and I can't remember that face clearly. Sabina fumbled for the silver coin and said, "Since you are willing to trade fairly, this business is still done, but it is a pity that the healer has been reduced to an elderly medicine boy since then." ”
"The previous lords all caused injuries and illnesses, but this young lord healed the sick, which is really different. ”
They looked at Geiger at the door together, and the blacksmith's son shrugged his shoulders.
