Chitose was angry when he looked at him, and patted Yan Saburo on the back: "Hey, you must find out his address today." ”

"How?"

Chitose sneered: "I'll give him a big gift at night." ”

Yan Saburo stroked the cat's head with his backhand: "Don't make extraneous branches, we only buy medicinal herbs this time." ”

His voice was steady, and in Chitose's perception, he was genuinely calm and did not have a strong anger.

"Are you human, do you have a normal human temper?" It's strange, this kid is only twelve years old, how can his mind be as calm as an old man who is about to enter the earth?

"It's useless to be angry, we have no evidence. "It's funny to ask if he's a human being if he's human. Yan Saburo said lightly, "Even you didn't see if he kicked the falling rock." ”

Since he was a child, he doesn't remember how many losses he has suffered or how many injuries he has suffered. Since some things can't be investigated, it's better to simply let it go with the wind.

Have a steady mentality and think less about uselessness.

The white cat sneezed angrily, and Yan Saburo stroked it and said a lot of good things before its tail hung down.

The trail is over the mountain, and the most dangerous part is finally over, and the descent to the basin is ahead.

Everyone stood on the tip of the mountain and looked down, and at a glance, they could see that there was a small town on the mountainside more than ten miles ahead.

"Is that the Red Mill Village?" Team Leader Du was a little surprised, "This village is very big." "It's the size of a town.

The purchasing steward smiled: "That's nature. Hongmo Village originally had only about 20 households, but in the past 100 years, it has made a fortune by picking and selling needle and fetal flowers, and there are civilians who can't eat nearby, and now the permanent population has exceeded 6,000 people. ”

Six thousand! Yan Saburo was also slightly surprised, this has reached the size of a medium-sized town, you must know that Yicheng is called a "city", but in fact it is only about 30,000 people.

This purchasing steward was assigned to Yan Saburo by the criminal family, and he went in and out here many times, counting half a local, familiar with the local customs, and then pointed to the mountains and forests and told everyone: "Originally, from the back of the town to the lake, the slopes were full of needle flowers, which were rare to see elsewhere, and the mountains were all over the place. ”

Everyone looked around, and sure enough, they saw strange flowers in the forest, only the size of chestnuts when they were in bud, but when they bloomed, they were bigger than a child's fist, and the petals were very peculiar, like sewing needles inserted back into the stamen, each one straight outward.

This is the standing medicine in Yan Saburo's prescription, and he deals with it every day. However, after nitrate and sun-dried, the needle fetal flower has faded its original color and has become gray, and Yan Saburo does not know that it is so full and gorgeous when it is still alive.

Their colors are really colorful, from light white, orange orange, bright red to pure gold, if they bloom all over the mountains, they must be as unrestrained and dazzling as the morning glow.

But the problem is that in the huge mountains and forests, everyone only saw a few sporadic flowers.

"What's wrong?"

The purchasing manager shook his head: "The flowering season of needle fetal flowers is very long, and summer and autumn are harvesting seasons every year. This year's harvest is poor, and heavy rains are frequent in the metropolis. "The rainstorm destroys the flowers, and the locals have fewer picks," and the weather is not good, so it has not been sunny for several months, so it cannot be dried. ”

Yan Saburo took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that needle fetal flowers only grow in the most shaded places, and it is not easy to pick one in the deep mountains and rivers, why can it grow like a weed in the local area?"

This last sentence is appropriate for everyone to hear.

"It has to do with the terrain. The purchasing steward coughed lightly, "The terrain of the Red Mill Valley was originally like a pocket, with the east and west sides blocked, and there were only exits in the north-south direction. Nearly 100 years ago, the northern mountain collapsed, sealing the north road, which also changed the local feng shui and formed a trapped dragon pattern. However, the valley is rich in water vapor, and the mountains and forests are secluded, and over time it forms a place of extreme yin. ”

Everyone let out a long "oh", mixed with a soft cry from a white cat.

Everyone laughed, but they didn't know that this was Chitose and said to Yan Saburo: "There is a little truth, but it is not true. ”

Yan Saburo asked vaguely, "Really?"

"Am I going to make a mistake?" Chitose sneered, "He's right, the slope where the needle fetal peanuts grow is on the back sunny side, and it is indeed a place of extreme yin with the trapped dragon bureau, but at most it is a hole, and it is amazing to be able to give birth to dozens of needle fetal flowers." There are not many terrains like this in the world, can everyone grow needles and fetal flowers?"

At this, she yawned lazily, "But this has nothing to do with us. We only need to buy a hundred catties and leave. "Yan Saburo's small goal this time is to purchase 100 catties of needle fetal flowers.

According to the amount of one dollar per day, this amount is enough for Yan Saburo to use for more than two years. In Chitose, if this kid doesn't die from the Zhenli Dragon's backlash, he will be able to get through the twelve canons in two or three years anyway, and he may not be able to use the needle fetus flower in the next stage.

Yan Saburo let out a casual "um", he really planned to do so. As for why the production of needle fetal flowers has been reduced, what measures will the people of Hongmo Village take in the future - sorry, does this have anything to do with him?

By this time the caravan had reached the basin, and it was easy to identify some fields on either side of the road, but the traces left by the flood were still in the fields and could not be erased in the future.

There are puddles of water everywhere.

With the topography here, it is difficult to drain the stagnant water, so it is no wonder that Hongmo Village was built on the mountainside.

The purchasing steward said while walking: "Further on, you will go to the Flower God Pool, there is a temple by the pool, called the Flower God Temple." ”

"Flower God?"

"Exactly. The steward explained to Yan Saburo, "The people of Hongmo Village believe that the anti-natural growth of needle fetal flowers comes from the blessing of the flower god, so they worship the flower god for generations and pray for good luck every year. ”

But before everyone got closer, the steward sighed softly: "What's going on?"

After turning the corner, there was suddenly an extra checkpoint on the bridge in front of him, and more than ten officers and soldiers stood on the side of the road, and when they saw the caravan approaching, they stepped forward and shouted: "Stop, what are you doing!"

Team Leader Du and the purchasing manager glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to explain. Judging from the armor of the officers and soldiers, these are all county soldiers, who should have been stationed thirty miles away, and somehow came here to set up a blockade.

Yan Saburo tilted his head sideways, and his sensitive ear power had already heard the conversation in front of him clearly.

The two people assigned to him by the criminal family were indeed good at handling things, and in a few words, he explained the situation of the caravan and the purpose of the visit. After listening to this, the leaders of these county soldiers looked at their street signs and said, "It turned out to be a foreigner." ”

When going out for a caravan, you must go to the government office in advance to issue a so-called "street sign" as the identity certificate of a regular businessman, so that you can enter and exit other cities, so it can be said that if you want to go on the road to do business, this procedure is essential.

The face of the soldier leader immediately softened: "This village is sealed and cannot be passed. Go back. ”
