It was getting dark, and the cold at night was more oozing than it was during the day.

Chen Bugui had been outside the door for a quarter of an hour, and the biting cold wind blew in his face, rolling up the snowflakes on the ground and slapping on the young man's immature face, but the young man at this moment turned a deaf ear, just staring at the dark night sky in a daze.

Chen Bugui actually didn't understand the big truths that Zhao Xuan said, and he didn't understand how to control his own destiny, he felt that he was living a good life now, although he could only barely survive, but at least he wouldn't starve to death, and he didn't have to think as much as he thought now.

He didn't have any big culture, nor did he have any big ideals, he just prayed that he could eat enough every day, that the next year's crops would have a good harvest, and that he could live longer.

"You don't have to think too much, everyone has their own choices, I just told you some rules."

The sudden sound behind him pulled Chen Bugui's thoughts back.

Chen Bugui turned his head sideways and looked at the tall man standing beside him, he looked very calm and calm.

"You look up." The man tilted his head and motioned for Chen Bu to look into the sky.

The boy didn't know why, but he still looked up and did so.

The moment the young man raised his head, a glimmer of light lit up in the night sky, which was originally as dark as ink.

Then the glimmer of light gradually became brighter,

Then it blooms like fireworks, unique in the entire night sky.

From calm, to shock, and then shocked, Chen Bugui's heart was mixed at this time, and the starlight in the sky was forever imprinted in the eyes of the young man at this moment.

"How did you do that?!" Chen Bugui turned his head to look at the man shrouded in starlight, and asked suspiciously.

"It just chose me." The man said calmly. "If one day you can become very strong, then there must be a star of your own in the galaxy."

The boy didn't know what this sentence meant, but he knew that Zhao Xuan must be very powerful, because he could make the stars in the sky light up.

"Who knows what will happen next." The young man muttered and said, "Rest early, I promised the boss of Wanyaozhai tomorrow to help him go into the mountains to collect medicine, otherwise he will be hungry again." ”

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, the man seemed to have exhausted all his strength, a pale appeared on his cold face, a mist appeared in his eyes, and the starlight that filled his body was extinguished with a "bang", and the star in the sky also disappeared in the night sky.

Just now that the condensation of the life star almost took him away, it seems that he still underestimated the backlash brought by the Demon King of the Ten Realms when he was dying.

Zhao Xuan looked down at the black long sword in his hand, and said softly: "Old man, I hope you are right........"

Buzzing!

The sword hummed and let out a slight tremble, as if in answer to the man's words.

..............

When the morning light shone on the town through the clouds, the thick fog gradually dissipated at this moment, and the originally calm town without a trace of waves began to change its vitality.

Chen Bugui got up early, simply washed up and said goodbye to Zhao Xuan, today's weather is exceptionally good, which makes Chen Bugui's mood also very good, so that he will be much easier to go into the mountains to collect medicine today.

As the snow melted, puddles appeared on the bluestone-paved paths, and the shops on both sides of the street began to get busy.

"Don't return, I'm going out so early today."

"Good morning, Brother Liu." Chen Bugui smiled and waved to the man in the blacksmith shop, "Today I promised the boss of the Ten Thousand Medicine Shop to help him go into the mountains to collect medicine, and next time you still lack a helper to strike iron, remember to call me." ”

"Haha, okay, I'll call you early next time." The man replied honestly.

For this place where he has lived for 17 years, Chen Bugui has already been familiar with every grass and tree here, and the neighborhood leaders will more or less help this young man who lives a restrained life.

So Chen Bugui likes it very much here, and he also likes the people here, if nothing else, maybe he will live his ordinary life in this town.

.........

Wanyakusai is located in the center of Izumo Town, and it is also the only pharmacy in the entire town, this pharmacy has not been open in Izumo Town for a long time, about a year or two, I heard that the owner of Wanyaozhai has a great background, and it seems to be a person from Tiandu.

Originally, there were also a few drugstores in Izumo Town, but since the opening of this Manyakusai, he has robbed the business of several other drugstores, just like his name, as long as it is in Wanyasai, there seems to be no medicinal materials that cannot be bought, so of course, the business of several other drugstores has been cut off.

Fortunately, the price of the medicinal materials in Wanyaozhai is not particularly expensive, and it is quite conscientious, so the people in the town can also accept it.

After passing through the bustling streets, Chen Bugui came to the door of Wanyaozhai.

Chen Bugui looked at the three big characters of Jinluan on the door plaque, and his heart was extremely unbalanced.

I still have to worry about what to eat every day, but other people's random door plaque is inlaid with gold.

This is called fate?!

"It's still important to get down to business."

Chen Bugui calmed down the thoughts in his heart, threw away the emotions in his mind, and came to pick up the job today, not to let him think nonsense here.

After settling down, Chen Bugui walked in with steps.

The moment he stepped into the Ten Thousand Medicine Zhai, a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, which was immediately refreshing, Chen Bugui looked at the shopkeeper who was immersed in sorting out the account books, said hello casually and walked straight to the inner door.

The inner door is generally used by the medicine boys in the store when they usually rest, and it just so happens that today is not very busy, so the person Chen Bugui is looking for should be in it.

Opened the door curtain with his hand, and Chen Bugui really saw a familiar figure who was busy with his body, looking at his figure, his age seemed to be not much different from Chen Bugui.

The corners of Chen Bugui's mouth hooked slightly, tiptoed behind the figure, and then slapped the figure on the shoulder.

"Master, I'm here!"

was so frightened by Chen Bugui, the figure trembled for a while.

"No, I said can you not always scare me like this every time, you don't know that people can scare people to death."

The young man turned around and complained to the grinning Chen Bugui.

"I said Xiao Qi, you don't understand this, your brother and I are exercising your guts." Chen Bugui sat beside the young man with a serious face.

The boy named Xiao Qi is one year younger than Chen Bugui, and he met Chen Bugui when he first came to Wanyaozhai two years ago.

Xiao Qi is also a hard-working person, his parents died in his early years, leaving him young to live alone, and later found a job as a medicine boy in Wanyao Zhai to make a living.

The young man is white and shy, honest, and he has been immersed in the pharmacy all the year round, and he always has a faint medicinal fragrance on his body.

Looking at Xiao Qi, who was silent, Chen Bu corrected his voice and asked, "Xiao Qi, how many herbs do you need to collect this time?" ”

Xiao Qi put down the bamboo basket in his hand, thought about it in his heart, and said, "This time the amount is more than before, because the people from the medicine collection team sent the medicine collected last time to Tiandu, so this matter fell on us." Looking at Chen Bugui's slowly frowning brows, Xiao Qi added slowly, "But the reward this time is twice as much as before." ”

"Ahem, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main thing is that you like to collect medicine." Chen Bugui seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts, and immediately put on a pretense that I wasn't for money.

Xiao Qi glanced at Chen Bugui angrily, and then handed the bamboo basket to him, "Let's go back quickly when we enter the mountain this time, I heard that the mountain has not been very peaceful recently, and the people in the medicine collection team last time were injured, so we must be fully prepared, and once we find that the situation is not right, we will immediately retreat." ”

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he took out another bottle of white jade and gave it to Chen Bugui, "This is insect repellent powder, which can avoid some snakes and insects after being applied, this is a good thing that I got after talking about it for a long time in the shopkeeper."

"It's still thoughtful that you kid." Chen Bugui patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and said with a smile: "When I come back this time, my brother will invite you to eat roast chicken and drink peach blossom stuff!"

Hearing the three words of picking flowers and brewing, a gleam flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on his slightly immature face.

As the signature of Zuichun Building, Peach Blossom Brew is famous throughout Izumo Town, and although the whole town is not large, Peach Blossom Brew is extremely prestigious.

Chen Bugui and Xiao Qi were fortunate enough to taste it once, but it was only half a cup, and it was just a little sweetness from the shopkeeper of Wanyaozhai who watched Xiao Qi work hard.

Since that time, the two teenagers have been obsessed with picking flowers and brewing, although the two teenagers have not had time to tie their hair, but it does not affect their idea of wanting to get drunk and rest.

"That's okay, when you come back this time, you'll invite me to drink peach blossom stuff!"

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, and each understood what was on their minds.

Put the bamboo basket on his back, and then put the prepared dry food into the basket, just in case, the two teenagers each pinned a dagger around their waists, this time into the mountain is not like usual, and the amount of herbs needed is much more than before, so the two teenagers do not dare to be sloppy, after all, if they are not careful, they have to explain that they have to become the nutrients of all things in the deep mountains.

When everything was ready, the two of them said goodbye to the pharmacy shopkeeper and walked down the street to the outside of town.
