In the morning, Koqingshan.

The bright sunlight shone through the lush woods, and a young man in a green shirt of about fifteen or sixteen years old carried a medicine basket on his back and took a medicine hoe to look carefully in the forest.

After a moment, his gaze stopped in a patch of grass, and a red herb stood out from the crowd.

"Red Flame Grass!"

Chu He's face showed a hint of joy, and he carefully dug out this herb with a medicine hoe and put it in the back basket.

Immediately, he continued to search for the herbs.

As a herb picker, his daily job is to collect herbs.

After a while, Chu He's face suddenly changed, and he held his footsteps, because he saw a small red snake slowly swimming slowly in the grass not far ahead.

As a veteran herb picker, he knew that the brighter the color of the snake, the more venomous it was, and although this red snake was small, it could bite a cow to death.

However, some medicinal powder was sprinkled on his clothes, and the smell emitted by it had the effect of repelling poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and as long as he did not act aggressively, ordinary poisonous snakes would not bite him.

Sure enough, after the Chu River stopped for a moment, the Red Lian Snake swam away.

Immediately, he continued to collect medicine, but still did not let his guard down.

The most dangerous thing in Xiaoqingshan is not poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, but encountering jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts.

Chu He's father was also a medicine picker, but he was bitten to death by a fierce tiger.

Fortunately, there are warriors in Xiaoqingshan who hunt regularly and clean up the beasts, as long as they don't go too deep, the chance of encountering fierce birds and beasts is very small.

In the afternoon, at about four or five o'clock.

Chu He began to descend the mountain, and on the way, he met several medicine pickers who were also carrying medicine baskets and greeted each other.

The small green hill stretches for hundreds of miles, divided into many hills, and on weekdays, the herb pickers are collecting medicine on different hills, but there is only one way down the mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu He and the other herb pickers came to the vicinity of the foot of Xiaoqingshan Mountain, and a two-room hut appeared in front of them.

In front of the hut, there were already several herb pickers queuing up to hand in the herbs, and Chu He also queued up at the back.

A moment later, it was Chu He's turn, and he handed the medicine basket over.

A middle-aged steward took a rough count and said, "69 herbs!" ”

Immediately, he made a registration, and then the guy next to him gave Chu He 138 copper coins.

These herb pickers are all workers under the command of Qingshan County Huichun Hall, and the collected herbs cannot be taken away, they must be handed over to the Huichun Hall, and in return, for each herb handed in, they can get 2 literary wages.

If you can hand over 100 herbs every day, you can get 200 copper coins, and you can earn 6,000 wen a month, which is 6 taels, which is a good income in this county.

However, what the Rejuvenation Hall needed was not ordinary medicinal herbs, but rare medicinal herbs that could refine pills, and the number was small and it was difficult to find.

Immediately, Chu He collected the copper coins and prepared to return to the county seat.

Not far away, two men in strong armor with knives were searching their bodies, and anyone who secretly hid medicinal herbs would be severely punished.

After the checkpoint, it is only five miles away from the north gate of Qingshan County, which is not far.

Half an hour later, Chu He and other herb pickers returned to the North City Gate of Qingshan County one after another.

It didn't take long for Chu He to return to his home, a standard house in a remote alley.

At this time, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in blue came up to him and said with a smile: "Brother, you're back, I've already cooked!" ”

The boy is Chu He's own brother Chu Ming, and his only relative.

Chu He smiled: "Let's go, let's eat!" ”

Moments later, the living room.

Chu He brought out the fried braised fish pieces and pickled vegetables and began to eat.

After eating, Chu Daodao: "Chu Ming, from tomorrow onwards, you don't want to study, go to the Black Bear Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts." ”

The name of his country is Daqian, similar to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is no imperial examination, the officials are all recommended by filial piety and honesty, ordinary people have no future in studying, only by practicing martial arts, can they get ahead!

Because this is a high-martial arts world, the top martial arts powerhouses can cut mountains and rivers with one sword, beyond the imagination of mortals!

"But to go to the martial arts hall, you have to pay 10 taels of silver for apprenticeship, and you have to pay 3 taels of food every month, which is too expensive!"

It's not that Chu Ming hasn't thought about practicing martial arts, but it's too expensive. Since his parents died one after another, his family was poor, and he only relied on Chu He as a medicine picker to earn a meager salary to support his family, and it was really difficult to come up with a huge sum of 13 taels.

Chu He smiled and said: "Although my monthly income is only three or four taels, after deducting expenses, the monthly deposit is only about 1 tael, but in the past three years, I have accumulated more than 30 taels, which is enough for you to practice martial arts for the time being." You're 12 years old, and it's still too late to practice martial arts! ”

When Chu Ming heard this, he shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't like martial arts, so let's go!" ”

"Silly boy, my brother is already 16 years old, and it's too late to practice martial arts now. Besides, I have already studied "Wild Bull Fist" in the Rejuvenation Hall, and the martial arts hall will not accept it. ”

Chu He didn't lie, the martial arts hall only accepts apprentices aged 12 and below, no matter how old they are, their bones are set, and practicing martial arts will only do half the work, and they won't be able to practice famously. Not to mention that he has already practiced brute bull boxing, and it is taboo to lead an art pitcher.

Chu Ming was silent for a moment before he said, "Brother, thank you, I will practice martial arts well, and I will definitely let you live a good life in the future." ”

Chu He smiled: "Silly boy, then clean up the table and wash the dishes to you!" ”

Immediately, Chu He rested for a while and came to the courtyard to start practicing boxing.

Manniu Boxing is a basic body forging boxing method, with a total of 18 styles, which can temper muscles and increase strength.

This is what he received when he joined the Rejuvenation Hall three years ago and became a medicine picker.

This kind of body forging boxing method is easy to get started, but it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and only with the secret ointment and medicinal wine can you quickly improve your physical fitness.

What martial artists need to cultivate during the tendon refining period is to strengthen the tendons, one part costs 5 taels, and even if Chu He is bankrupt, he can't buy a few copies.

The cheaper way is to buy ferocious beast meat, which greatly replenishes essence and qi, which can increase the cultivation speed.

The fierce beast is a strange beast that is more powerful than ordinary beasts, and it is difficult to hunt and the price is not cheap.

High-grade beast meat is more expensive than strong muscles!

Chu He only occasionally buys a few taels.

Poor and rich in martial arts, without money, the speed of martial arts training is naturally slow. Therefore, Chu He has been cultivating for nearly three years, and his martial arts are only at the level of the initial level of refining muscles!

Half an hour later, he was covered in sweat, stopped practicing boxing, and rested for a while.

At this time, he looked at the wrist of his right hand and saw a black watch.

The watch was picked up by him and traveled with him into this world, but only he could see it.

At this point, the countdown on the watch has changed to 05:36, which means that there are still 5 hours and 36 minutes.

As for what will happen after another 5 hours and 36 minutes, Chu He is also unclear.

However, it is also the belief that has sustained him to where he is today.

As a traverser, Chu He was so miserable, if it were not supported by faith, he would have fallen and even collapsed!

After resting for a while, Chu He continued to practice boxing until he was exhausted, then took a shower, washed his clothes, and went back to his room to sleep.

……

In the middle of the night, the countdown of the black watch in Chu He's right hand returned to 0.

At this time, a voice sounded in Chu He's ears: "The host is over 16 years old, and the Heavens Game Watch is activated and begins to scan the physical fitness." ”

"After the physical fitness scan is completed, start logging in to the game, and you will be randomly reincarnated in the Heavenly World!"
