Chapter 278: Medicinal Herb Library

As a servant of the Xiao family, what Dongzi usually does is to clean the courtyard for the Xiao family, prepare food for him, and do some simple chores that Xiao Ye has no time to do.

But also because he is Xiao Ye's servant, in this Xiao family, except for other people's courtyards and some important places, Dongzi can enter and leave freely.

If you can move around freely, you will more or less hear some discussions from the disciples, and if you listen to it more, you will have some cognition and understanding of some things in the Xiao family.

But as a servant, he knew what a servant should do. Those things are not for him to control, those words are not for him to say.

So for the matter of the Xiao family, Dongzi never said a word, and almost kept silent. Even if there were some things that might be beneficial to Xiao Ye when he said them, Dongzi didn't say it.

After all, he is just a servant, and the thoughts in his mind are very simple, and he can't think of deeper things, if he harms Xiao Ye or causes any unpleasant effects because he says something wrong, then Dongzi is afraid that he will have to die and apologize.

In this life, things must be done well, although Dongzi has not read any books, but this truth is still understood.

Now Xiao Ye asked Dongzi to help, as a servant, Dongzi is duty-bound, and about everything he knows in his heart, he can also tell Xiao Ye everything in 1510, as for how to do it and what kind of decision to make, it is completely Xiao Ye's business.

"The third prince has something to order, and Dongzi will go all out. Without thinking about it, Dongzi agreed directly.

"Hmm!" Xiao Ye nodded, and asked again: "I have been away from home for a long time, and what is happening in the clan these days is only to hear from others. A lot of things you don't know where to start. Just like this time my father's disappearance. Who knows some clues and so on. I don't know anything. Dongzi, in your opinion, who in the clan is likely to know about his father's disappearance?"

Xiao Ye did not impose a ban when he spoke, it was obviously for people in the shadows.

He knew about Xiao Zhan's disappearance, and he was afraid that only the Great Elder knew something, and even if others had news and clues, it would be useless.

Dongzi is responsible for cooperating with Xiao Ye and disturbing the sight of the people in the dark. and then attract their attention, the purpose is to create opportunities for Xiao Xiaojia.

"Before the head of the family disappeared, he had been treated by Dr. Ma for a long time, I think Dr. Ma should know something, even if he didn't know, he could ask the head of the family what the injury was, whether it was really because the injury was out of control and disappeared. ”

Dongzi's first analysis made Xiao Ye impressed, although this kid sits on weekdays with some cleaning and other work, he is not stupid, he also knows how to think. Analytical.

"Doctor Ma, okay, let's go find him first! ”

Xiao Ye made a decision. The thing was supposed to lead the way immediately, but Dongzi didn't act immediately, but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ye frowned, could it be that there was something unspeakable?

"Doctor Ma is strange by nature, and if you want to see him, you need to send a medicinal herb, but now we don't have any medicinal herbs. "The thing explained the reason, it was originally to see Doctor Nama, if there were no medicinal materials, I really didn't want to see it.

Unless you insist on seeing him, if so, Dr. Ma will not tell you anything.

"Like medicinal herbs? This is normal, after all, he is a doctor, and he is naturally sensitive to medicinal herbs. Doesn't our Xiao family have several medicinal herb stores, with my current status, it's not a problem to get some medicinal herbs to honor him, right?" Xiao Ye said with a smile.

"That's not the way it is. The third prince didn't know that although there was more than one medicinal herb library of the Xiao family, almost all of them were closed, and only people with special status had the right to enter. If Elder Xiao Ming was here, it would naturally be no problem. But now that the elders are in retreat, there is no one in the Xiao family who can be trusted, and it is impossible to enter those medicinal herb warehouses. ”

is worthy of being a person who has been walking around Xiao's house since he was a child, and Dongzi has all the rules of Xiao Ye in his mind.

"Most of them are closed, and there are always those that are open to the outside world, right?" Xiao Ye shrugged his shoulders, not thinking that this was a big deal.

"Yes, but there is only one, and now it has fallen into the control of the Xiao family branch, and it is the Xiao family branch that guards it, and if the son wants to enter, I'm afraid it will ......"

Dongzi's worries are not unreasonable!

The Xiao family branch now controls a lot of things in the Xiao family, even the medicinal herb library has long been occupied by the Xiao family branch, although they have not abused the medicinal materials inside, but it is not easy for Xiao Ye to enter it, will the Xiao family branch allow it?

"Let's go! When I get there, I really don't believe it, I don't even have the right to take a medicinal herb in this Xiao family. ”

Since there is an open library of medicinal materials, Xiao Ye doesn't believe that he can't get in, no matter how strong the Xiao family's branch is, now when the head of the family is still in charge of the bloodline, can they still turn the sky upside down?

"Yes!"

Dongzi answered, and led the way for Xiao Ye in front.

The two left the courtyard of the Xiao family like this, as for the conversation between Xiao Ye and Dongzi, it was naturally heard by all the people in the dark, and the news that Xiao Ye was going to find Doctor Ma and going to the medicinal herb warehouse was transmitted to the high-level officials of the various Xiao family branches as soon as possible.

For a while, the Xiao family branch was a little busy, and soon there was action!

There are many medicinal materials in the Xiao family, and only one of them is open to external disciples.

And if the disciples get any medicinal materials and want to put them in the medicinal material library, they will also get corresponding rewards.

The Xiao family's open library of medicinal materials is not too big, because the preservation of medicinal materials is very particular, many trees have been planted around the medicinal materials warehouse, and a small pool has been established in front of it, so as to make the temperature of the medicinal materials warehouse even more.

At the same time, the medicinal materials warehouse is made of wood, because it is open to the outside world, so the medicinal materials in it are relatively ordinary, and the real good medicinal materials of the Xiao family are naturally all placed in those closed medicinal materials warehouse.

Even so, the branch disciples guarding this medicinal herb storehouse, the strong ones have also reached the fifth rank of the great martial artist. With these five-rank great martial artists in charge, the medicinal herb warehouse is even more difficult to enter than before.

In front of the medicinal herb warehouse, several guard disciples of the Xiao family branch were chatting, and the topics were mostly about the unification of the Xiao family, Xiao Ye, or Xiao Zhan.

Since the Xiao family branch occupied the medicinal herb storehouse, there have been fewer and fewer disciples of the Xiao family who have come to the medicinal herb warehouse to pick up medicines.

The procedure for them to take medicinal materials is to apply to the Xiao family branch, and then they have to go through many checks when they come here, which is very troublesome, and they are often angry, and the disciples who come from Zuihou are naturally getting fewer and fewer, and the disciples who guard this place have become easier.

On the contrary, if a disciple of the Xiao family branch needs any medicinal materials, he can even come and ask for them without applying at all, as long as he confirms his identity.

This aspect made the disciples of the Xiao family very dissatisfied, and they sometimes wondered if the current Xiao family had fallen into the hands of the Xiao family branch?

Through this method, the Xiao family branch not only controls the medicinal herb library, but also the armory and everything is in the hands of the Xiao family branch, they are slowly making the Xiao family disciples lose confidence, and after all kinds of means are used, the Xiao family disciples will always be defeated by them.

Today, in front of this medicinal material storehouse, there is another disciple of the Xiao family, he is not tall, his face is a little pale, not that he is sick, but when he thinks of going to the medicinal material storehouse, he can't help but panic.

This person was in urgent need of treatment from his mother's illness and urgently needed medicinal herbs, so he went to the peak of the Xiao family from Xiao Family Town, which means that he is still an outer disciple of the Xiao family.

Due to poverty and weak strength, he couldn't get the simple medicinal herbs, so he could only go to the peak of the Xiao family.

Unlike in the past, when such a thing happened in the past, he only needed to go to the peak of the Xiao family, and then find a steward to apply, and it was still easy to get medicinal materials.

But now, the Xiao family has changed greatly, the application procedures have changed, and the people have also changed! Just such a simple application actually took him three days.

In the past three days, this person has also been trying to find a way everywhere, is there any other way to get that kind of medicinal herb?

But I thought of any way, but it didn't work, Zuihou's mother's illness was delayed for three days, and it got worse and worse, and finally applied for approval today, and this person came to pick up the medicine cautiously.

But he also heard that even if he applied now, as long as he was not a disciple of the Xiao family's branch, it was not so simple to get the medicine.

Mother's illness can no longer be delayed, and he has to get medicinal materials no matter what today, but the uneasiness in his heart makes this person extremely worried, so when he sees several guards guarding in front of the medicinal material warehouse, he doesn't dare to look at these people.

β€œzhanzhu。 Sure enough, when this person walked to the door of the medicinal herb storehouse, he was reprimanded.

Because of his loud voice and a bit of momentum, this person was really taken aback, but because his mother was critically ill, he couldn't turn back, so he immediately said tremblingly: "Everyone, big brothers, I'm here to get medicine." ”

"Take medicine?" The fifth-level great martial artist glanced at this person with a smile, and couldn't help but have a little disdain in his eyes, he could see at a glance that this person was only a third-level martial artist, such a person could also step into the peak of the Xiao family, and brazenly come to take medicine?

"Where's your application for taking medicine?" asked the fifth-level Great Martial Master.

"Here, here!" said the disciple twice and handed over a square piece of cardboard.

The fifth-level great martial artist waved his hand, and a true qi entangled the piece of paper, ingesting the piece of paper into his hand, he didn't even bother to use his own hand to pick up the piece of paper, after all, the other party was a third-level martial artist, and the status gap was too big, if he took it by hand, it would inevitably be a loss of identity!

"Yes, yes. The fifth-level great martial artist swept his gaze over the hard piece of paper and couldn't help but nod.

The person who took the medicine was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Then can I go in and get the medicine?"

"It's a pity, it's right to apply, but this medicinal herb is out of stock, I'm afraid you came for nothing. ”

Who knew that the next words of the fifth-level great martial artist gave the person who took the medicine a slap in the face, and his originally pale face turned a little paler at this moment. (To be continued......)
