Chapter 18 Su Zi'e
In the early morning, the sky just flashed a trace of fish belly white, Qiu Lei followed this line of mercenaries to Beilongshan Town, Beilongshan Town is backed by Beilongshan, and Murong Mountain is different, Beilongshan Mountain Range is vast, dense forests are deep, and there are many vein beasts rampant among them, Beilongshan can be regarded as the junction of the southern border and the Donghe boundary, as usual, this place should be a place where there are many merchants, but it is precisely because of the reason that the Beilong Mountain Range wants to block it, the convoy of merchants in Beilongshan Town is rare, but the mercenaries who lick the blood at the knife can be seen everywhere.
Vein beasts are different from ordinary beasts, their strength is strong, ordinary hunters are difficult to fight at all, only the vein master has the ability to hunt them, and the vein beast itself is a spiritual creature that opens its own pulse, whether it is muscles, bones, flesh, liver, spleen and kidney, it is a material that can be sold at a high price.
And in the Beilong Mountain, because of the inaccessibility, there are few people, and there are many precious herbs in the mountain, even if the vein beasts are brutal and ferocious, there are still a large number of mercenaries gathered here, and the so-called people die for money, and the birds die for food, and only these guys who dare to lick the blood from the knife edge and hang their heads on their belts dare to challenge the majesty of this mountain wave after wave.
Qiu Lei left home this time, in order to exercise himself in iron and blood, he did not choose the easier road to the Donghe Realm, but chose to cross the Beilong Mountain Range, just to put himself to death and come back to life, but with his current strength, crossing the Beilong Mountain alone is almost no different from looking for death, so Qiu Lei's primary purpose is to join a mercenary team and team up with others to enter the mountain.
Beilongshan Town is not a large area, and on the streets of the town, you can see groups of mercenaries everywhere, they shrug their shoulders to each other, fold their arms, and spit on the streets, some of them hold spirits in their hands, some eat meat, laugh loudly without any scruples, talk vulgarly, and smile obscenely.
After Qiu Lei followed Huang Qi's team into the town, the girl in the pale yellow dress jumped off the donkey cart, her gait was light, her slender waist was like a thin willow belt, she led Huang Qi's team towards her own pharmacy in the town, walking between the streets, the girl's moving and beautiful posture has attracted the attention of many mercenaries.
"It's Miss Su! It's Miss Su who is back!"
Some mercenaries in the street recognized the girl, and their faces already showed a trace of respect and admiration, some clasped their fists and saluted, some nodded, and many mercenaries actually knelt down on the street to show their love, but every time the girl passed by, she just smiled indifferently and nodded, as if this kind of thing had been taken for granted and did not care.
Qiu Lei followed Huang Qi's mercenary team, and led the donkey cart to follow the girl, and seeing that the girl had such a high reputation, the young man's face couldn't help but show surprise.
You must know that mercenaries are different from soldiers in the army or city guards, most of these people are mercenary, and the only ones they like and admire in their hearts are except for silver taels or silver taels, but where Qiu Lei walked with the girl, all the mercenaries were respectful, even if one or two occasionally opened their mouths to say something flirtatious, the mercenaries beside them would also show hostile eyes.
Qiu Lei was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Li and Dongzi beside him, "Who is this Miss Su, and why does she have such a high reputation?"
"Hey, hey. Xiao Li is a young man who is not very old, it seems that he has just turned eighteen years old, he looks ordinary, a little short, and his back is a little rickety, so that his physique is not as strong as Qiu Lei, he seems to have expected Qiu Lei to ask this question, so he said: "You are the first time to come to Beilongshan Town, right?"
Seeing Qiu Lei nodding, he continued: "Miss Su's full name is Su Zi'e, she is the head of the Donglai Medical Center in Beilongshan Town, not only is she beautiful and kind-hearted, but she is also a skilled doctor. Speaking of this, Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said: "You also know that we mercenaries are all engaged in a knife-licking bloodless business, if we fail to hunt in the mountains, or are injured, and fail to complete the task, we will not be able to get a commission, and some people don't even have the cost of medical treatment, but the number of mercenaries who die every month in this town is only five or five, do you know why?"
Qiu Lei was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that this Miss Su is willing to treat her for free?"
"yes. Dongzi on the side was older, and he was already middle-aged at this time, and when he heard this, he also showed emotion, and said: "Miss Su Bodhisattva's heart, it can be said that everyone in the town knows it, most of the mercenaries in this town have been treated by this Miss Su, and the people who owe her Su Zi'e the grace of saving her life can be said to account for most of the mercenaries in the entire Beilongshan Town, in this Beilongshan Town, if anyone dares to say a bad word about Miss Su, they will inevitably be excluded and hostile by other mercenaries!"
"In this way, wouldn't the Donglai Medical Center have to make ends meet?" Qiu Lei couldn't help but say.
"Therefore, Miss Su's heart to save people is even more commendable. Dongzi's eyes also showed a hint of respect, "Donglai Medical Center has always had a good business, and people who go to treat diseases and seek medical treatment have come and go, but over the years, the entire medical hall has not saved any savings, Miss Su does things simply, sometimes the medical hall is short of herbs, she will go into the mountains alone to find it, and sometimes she will call a few mercenaries to go with her, but even so, I am afraid that Donglai Medical Center will not be able to support it for long......"
Speaking of this, Dongzi and the others all sighed, and there was a trace of regret between their eyebrows.
Hearing the introduction of the two, Qiu Lei glanced at Su Zi'e a few more times, the girl floated among the many mercenaries, her words and demeanors showed everyone's demeanor, and her expression and eyebrows always had a fresh and agile temperament, like a fairy walking in the world.
The convoy finally arrived at the door of the Donglai Medical Center, the foyer of the medical hall was a little old and dilapidated, and even the signboard had a lot of dust and damage, but from the outline, it was obvious that it had also been in the market and dilapidated to this point, but no one had renovated and taken care of it for a long time.
The door of the medical hall was half open, and I saw an old woman cleaning in front of the door, and only when Su Zi'e led Huang Qi and others to the door did the old woman put down the tools in her hand and showed a kind smile.
"Miss, you're back. ”
"Nurse. Su Zi'e responded, and said with a guilty face: "I'm not here these days, and the affairs of the hospital are all taken care of by the nurse, it's really hard for you to get old." ”
"Don't tight, don't tight. The old woman smiled and said, "These days, there are many people who come to look for medicine and see a doctor, but you are not at home, so I found some herbs to give to them, but some people gave some money, and I put them in the box in front of the counter." ”
The old woman's eyes didn't look at Su Zi'e when she spoke, and her eyes were even more indifferent, and Qiu Lei noticed that the old man's eyes were invisible.
Qiu Lei's respect in his heart couldn't help but increase a few points again, he didn't expect this Su Zi'e's life to be so hard, although she has a medical center, but obviously she only loses money and doesn't make money, even so, this woman can still cure diseases and save people, and has a heart to help the world, which is really rare, no wonder the mercenaries in the town respect her so much.
"Miss Su. When Huang Qi talked to her, he was very polite: "The things in this car, let's help you move in." ”
Without waiting for Su Zi'e to refuse, several people in the mercenary team were scrambling to help move things, although Qiu Lei was not one of the mercenaries, but yesterday he was also able to go into the town thanks to Su Zi'e's accommodation, plus he also admired this girl, and also helped to move things.
Su Zi'e thought that Qiu Lei had already left when she entered the town, but when she saw Qiu Lei at this time, she couldn't help but wonder: "This little brother, why did you come with you?"
Qiu Lei put down the box, hugged his fist towards the girl, and said politely: "Thanks to Miss Yesterday's accommodation, I had to accompany her, and I should make some effort here." ”
Although Qiu Xiaotian did not discipline Qiu Lei much on weekdays, he also taught Qiu Lei to know books and etiquette, and unlike the common mercenaries in Beilongshan Town, Qiu Lei was much more gentle than them, Su Zi'e saw that he talked well and behaved politely, and couldn't help but look at him twice, and said: "I haven't seen you in the past, is it the first time to come to Beilongshan Town?"
Seeing Qiu Lei nodded, Su Zi'e said again: "At your age, you also learn from others to be mercenaries?" She frowned slightly, and said: "Beilong Mountain is not as dangerous as other mountains, and the mountains are dangerous, but not ordinary people can go back and forth." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Lei couldn't help but be a little funny, this Su Zi'e is actually not much older than him, the difference between the two is only two years at most, but Qiu Lei has practiced pulse art since he was a child, and his body shape is already comparable to that of an adult, more than a head taller than Su Zi'e's size, if you look at it purely by appearance, Su Zi'e is more like a little sister.
Qiu Lei asked himself that he didn't look like a fourteen-year-old boy except that his face was still a little immature, and when he saw that Su Zi'e thought he was young, he couldn't help but say: "Although I'm not old, I still have the ability." ”
As soon as he said this, Qiu Lei immediately felt embarrassed, it was like the words of a child and an adult arguing, and he still had too little experience, and sure enough, when he heard this, Su Zi'e covered his mouth with his hand and laughed softly.
Before Su Zi'e could speak, Huang Qi on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh? Huangkou Xiao'er, your tone is not small, but you should tell me, what are your skills?"
He dropped the medicine goods in his hand, turned his head to Qiu Lei, and said, "At your age, I think you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, you can open the pulse door this year, and what is the realm?"
Huang Qi's words were actually not malicious, nor were they humiliating Qiu Lei, these mercenaries were originally open-mouthed, and they thought it was Qiu Lei's youthful temperament and admired Su Zi'e's beauty, so they couldn't help but want to open their mouths to hit him.
He had already seen that there were some pulse fluctuations in this kid's body, but when the pulse master did not open the pulse gate, the qi outflow was very weak, and it was difficult to distinguish the other party's cultivation.
Xuanhong Continent respects strength, and it is a very serious matter to ask about the rank between pulse masters, Qiu Lei heard this, so he cleaned up his expression, and said: "The kid is not talented, he is fourteen years old this year, he just opened the Du Pulse a few days ago, and he is already a second-grade pulse master at this time." ”
Hearing this, the mercenaries in the medical hall who helped to move things stopped their movements, and looked at Qiu Lei as if they had seen a ghost, and Huang Qi beside him was stunned, and the original slightly mocking smile had turned into a look of surprise!
