Early the next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, Lu Zheng walked out of his small courtyard after a routine morning exercise.

There was silence and depression in the dilapidated outer village, and there were occasionally ragged and beggar-like villagers on the road who rarely saw Lu Zheng, and they hurriedly dodged like mice seeing cats, as if they were afraid of getting contaminated with something.

Lu Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to this, passed through the wooden stake wall, and came to the inner village.

The plan of the day is in the morning, most of the villagers have gone out to farm, except for the young men of the security team, there are not many people on the street, and these people also cast strange eyes when they see Lu Zheng, it seems strange why Lu Zheng appeared here.

However, except after nightfall, the people from the outer village were not restricted from entering the inner village, and no one came to stop Lu Zheng, so he followed his memory all the way to find it, and then came to a secluded courtyard.

He stepped forward and patted the door, and said loudly, "Mother-in-law, are you there? I'm Lu Ping!"

Soon, there was movement in the courtyard, the door bolt was pulled, and the courtyard door was opened a crack, and then a dark young man's face was revealed, and he looked at Lu Zheng curiously:

"Brother Lu, my mother-in-law went out early in the morning and won't come back in a while, are you here to see her?"

"Yes. ”

Lu Zheng disagreed:

"Then I'll just wait outside for her to come back. ”

Yao Po is a respected physician in the village, but for some reason she has no children and no daughters, but she adopted a pair of orphan sisters and brothers in the village as apprentices and helpers, and Li Xing in front of her is one of them.

Li Xing also recognized Lu Zheng, he looked at Lu Zheng's bandaged forehead with curiosity, and opened the courtyard door: "Brother Lu, you come in and wait." ”

Lu Zheng nodded and walked into the courtyard.

There were many common herbs planted on both sides of the courtyard, exuding all kinds of fragrances, and he glanced at them quite strangely, and then came to the front hall to wait.

"Brother Lu is good. ”

After a while, a simple girl with braids came out of the back room and brought a bowl of water.

"Thank you. ”

This is Li Xing's sister Li Wan. Lu Zheng thanked him and asked:

"Xiaowan, where did she go, mother-in-law?"

Li Wan, like Li Xing, was also secretly looking at Lu Zheng's bandaged forehead, and responded:

"Mother-in-law, she has to go to the village owner's manor every morning to take care of the medicine field, and she should be back immediately. ”

Lu Zheng's heart moved.

The so-called medicinal field is specially opened up by Shi Longwu, the owner of the village, behind his manor, which is transplanted and planted with all kinds of common qi and blood medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials produced are specially used for his own martial arts.

The walled city is almost isolated from the outside world, and the Bailongshan Mountain Range, which can produce medicinal materials, is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that the owner of the village is the only one who enjoys such luxurious cultivation conditions in the entire walled city.

O evil feudal landlord......

When Lu Zheng thought about it, he felt full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The effect of supplementing qi and blood with medicinal materials to practice martial arts is undoubtedly ten or a hundred times that of food and meat. When he came to this world, he couldn't even eat, and the people were good, and a large piece of medicinal field was used to practice martial arts, and he was the difference between an emperor and a beggar.

Thinking so in his heart, he noticed that the two sisters and brothers next to him did not leave, but had been secretly looking at himself, Lu Zheng came back to his senses:

"What's the matter, is there anything unclean on my face?"

Li Wan was a little shy, but Li Xing was bold enough to ask, "Brother Lu, I heard my mother-in-law say that you have an eye on your forehead, is it true?"

"That's true. ”

During this time, people were always looking at him with strange eyes, Lu Zheng had long been used to it, and he was not angry, and asked:

"Why, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Don't be afraid!"

李行 says:

"Mother-in-law, she told us that you are a good person!

Good......

Lu Zheng was silent for a moment, shook his head and smiled:

"I'm actually not a very good person, my mother-in-law praised me. ”

No matter what kind of world it is, good people may not live long. He just came to this world to live well, to control his own destiny and see a wider landscape by the way, but he had no interest in being a good person.

Bang bang.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xing immediately rushed to open the courtyard door, and then turned around and shouted:

"Mother-in-law is back!"

Lu Zheng got up to greet him, and saw the medicine woman carrying a cloth bag and walking into the courtyard.

"Lu boy?" Seeing Lu Zheng who came up, a hint of surprise flashed in the medicine woman's cloudy eyes: "Didn't your injuries have healed a few days ago?

"Mother-in-law, I came to you for something else. ”

Facing this life-saving benefactor, Lu Zheng politely saluted and got straight to the point:

"I have a reluctant request, I want to follow you to learn the knowledge of herbal medicine, to prepare for the future into the mountain, please teach my mother-in-law!"

"Into the mountains?"

The medicine woman frowned, and glanced at Lu Zheng's not very strong body:

"Lu boy, I don't need to say much about the dangers in the mountains, how many hunters and medicine pickers have been folded in it over the years, have you thought about it clearly?"

I wouldn't want to choose if I had one......

Lu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, but said on his lips: "Mother-in-law, with my current situation, it is a matter of time before I enter the mountain, so it is better to prepare early." ”

In this mysterious world, whether it is to curb the abnormalities in the body or to protect oneself with enough force, martial arts cultivation is the only way out.

Compared with eating food, sufficient meat or medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood are undoubtedly more helpful for martial arts, and these two things can be easily exchanged for food in the village. In the case that he was about to sit and eat empty, Bailong Mountain, which had the opportunity to obtain these two resources, became Lu Zheng's best choice.

Of course, the danger in Bailong Mountain is abnormal, and the experience of entering the mountains and forests is even more important than strength, and he came to Yao Po to learn herbal knowledge, which is one of the preparations.

"Alas......"

Hearing Lu Zheng say this, the medicine woman sighed and stopped dissuading. I saw her walk into the back room, and soon came out with a booklet and handed it to Lu Zheng:

"Lu boy, this "Baicao Lu" was compiled by me in the early years, which records the habits, appearance, and medicinal effects of most herbs, and there are some common prescriptions attached to it. ”

Great stuff!

Lu Zheng's heart moved, and he took the booklet: "Thank you, mother-in-law!"

The medicine woman shook her head: "Don't rush to thank you first." This thing is not a valuable thing, I have given it to the hunters and medicine pickers in the stockade. But for you, I don't know if I'm helping you or hurting you......"

"Helping me, of course. ”

Lu Zheng said solemnly:

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, even if I want to enter the mountain, I will definitely be cautious and make more preparations, and I will never joke with my own life. ”

With that, he saluted again and turned to leave.

"Lu boy, wait a minute!"

At this time, the medicine woman behind him suddenly stopped him as if she remembered something.

Lu Zheng turned around: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, it is too dangerous for you to enter the mountains alone without experience, I suddenly thought that there is a person who may be able to help you. ”

Without waiting for Lu Zheng to inquire carefully, the medicine woman groaned:

"This person's name is Song Yuan, he is a well-known hunter in the village, he has a lot of experience in entering the mountains, and he also lives in the outer village. If he can take you into the mountains at first......"

Oh?

Lu Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Mother-in-law, will he be willing?"

Although he does not lack courage and adventurous spirit, after all, entering the mountain is a dangerous thing that is more important than strength, and if he can follow a reliable veteran into the mountain a few times and accumulate some more experience, it will undoubtedly be very good for him.

However, the only problem is that as far as he knows, most of these hunters and medicine pickers are alone, on the one hand, it is the arrogance brought by strength and experience, and on the other hand, the situation in the mountains is complicated, and there are occasional sudden dangers, in this case, no one other than blood relatives is trustworthy.

"There shouldn't be any problem, after all, I saved his life. And he, like you, is a chivalrous and good boy. ”

The medicine woman sighed and said:

"It's a coincidence, and I don't know if you remember. Five years ago, Song Yuan was one of the deputy captains of your night patrol, and like you, he was unfortunately contaminated by the blood of evil in a battle, and his body was alienated, and then he moved to the outer village. How similar are you to him now......"

"Someone who is as polluted as I am?"

The memory of the original owner did not have the memory of Song Yuan, and Lu Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
