In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had been in this Thousand Cave City for twenty years, and the young man had gradually adapted to life here.

The arrival of Ma Lao made Shen Daoling, who had always been restless, finally let go of his heart and re-opened the pharmacy with his daughter Shen Ting.

Ma Lao and Uncle Li, the storyteller of the teahouse next door, hit it off at first sight, and every day they would go to the corner of the teahouse to find a table and set up a set of chess pieces, listening to the storytelling, while waiting for the opponent who came to challenge.

Win and receive one penny, lose and pay five.

At the beginning, he could earn thirty or forty dollars a day, but as Ma Lao's fame gradually spread among chess players, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

There are only a few old bachelors who are addicted to good chess, and occasionally they will find Ma Lao to play a few games, although every time they are frustrated, they always come to challenge more and more frustrated, and they also have the beautiful name of "whether they win or lose, only seek the process".

As for Ye Feng, during this period of time, he pestered Shen Daoling to learn some fur medical skills, and he could barely see some small problems of headache and brain fever, which also helped Shen Daoling's father and daughter share some of the pressure.

Usually when there is nothing to do, the teenager will go to the teahouse next door to accompany Ma Lao to listen to books and play chess, or take the toad ingots to the wild mountains outside the city to collect medicine, and you can also take some game along the way to come back to make some meat and tooth sacrifices for Ma Lao and them, and the life is also delicious.

On this day, Ye Feng first helped Ma Lao to the teahouse, and then came to an unnamed wild mountain outside the city alone with a basket on his back.

Walking all the way through the markers he had made before, the boy came to a fruit forest full of red fruits, this fruit forest was accidentally discovered by Ye Feng when he was collecting medicine, and the branches were covered with bright red thumb-sized fruits.

At that time, Ye Feng just thought that this fruit was very beautiful, so he picked one and played with it, because he didn't know whether this red fruit was poisonous or not, so he didn't dare to eat it easily.

However, the toad ingots in the back basket were suddenly attracted by the fruity fragrance, and they took the red fruit in Ye Feng's hand and gulped it out.

After eating, I told Ye Feng that this red fruit is called kiwifruit, which has a sweet and sour taste, can refresh the mind, and is a must for winemaking.

Before meeting Ye Feng, Yuan Bao had seen this kiwifruit on a monkey mountain, those monkeys who had spiritual wisdom would make the fruit into fruit wine and bury it in the soil, and then dig it out after a year and a half, as soon as the lid was opened, half of the mountain could smell the sweet aroma of wine, which would definitely make the world's drunkards go crazy.

It's just that this kiwifruit is very fragile and delicate when it is first planted, and it will wither and dry up if you don't pay attention to it, so it has not been popularized in too many places.

Ye Feng picked a kiwi fruit casually, threw it to the pitiful toad ingots on the ground blinking frog eyes, and carried the bamboo basket into the fruit forest.

Shen Daoling and Uncle Li in the teahouse both like to drink very much, so since Ye Feng used this kiwifruit to make "fruit wine", no matter who he walked in front of these two with a wine jug, these two people treated him with the same politeness.

The demeanor and expression of the two were polite, kind and kind.

Shen Daoling knows everything and teaches Ye Feng's medical skills, and he will never put on a show, and even laugh with him.

Uncle Li was thinking about the story with a heartfelt stomach, for fear that it would be repeated with what he had told before, which would make Ye Feng lose interest, and his expression was cautious, like walking on thin ice.

After picking enough kiwi fruits that could make two jars of wine, Ye Feng beckoned Yuanbao out of the fruit forest, and then walked towards the foot of the mountain, intending to pick some more chaffles to treat wind and cold and go back.

I don't know why, recently, many people in the Thousand Caves City have suffered from wind chill and coughing, but it is summer at this time, the weather can be said to be very warm, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in the city is not too big, Ye Feng really can't figure out why so many people suffer from wind chill at the same time.

The wind and cold are not a serious illness, and they will get better after taking medicine for a few days, and the boy does not pay much attention to it.

Walking down the mountain road, Ye Feng listened to the slight rustling sound in the back basket, paused, and said with a smile: "Yuanbao, I warn you! If you dare to eat another fruit, I will make you into a spicy fried bullfrog!"

The toad ingots jumped out of the basket and landed opposite the boy.

In the sunset, the pimple of the earthy yellow skin, with the wisps of red thread, the frog had half an uneaten kiwifruit in its mouth, and said angrily: "Why don't you let me eat it? If it weren't for me, you would know the origin and usefulness of this fruit? Besides, the fruit forest is not yours." ”

"Well, okay~"

Ye Feng nodded with a smile, put the sword wrapped in black cloth on his shoulder, walked down the mountain by himself, walked a few steps and turned back to Yuan Bao and shouted: "Then you just stay here, that fruit tree is all for you!"

The young man turned around and continued on his way, ignoring the angry ingots lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Yuan Bao suddenly became anxious, and shouted: "Can you stop using this trick all the time?

As he spoke, he swallowed the fruit in his mouth, jumped back to Ye Feng's shoulder, and turned his head to the side angrily.

Ye Feng smiled lightly when he saw this, and he didn't care about Yuanbao's actions.

At the foot of the mountain, after picking a basket full of clovers, Ye Feng clapped his hands with satisfaction, planning to take advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark to hurry back to the city to pick up Ma Lao and return to the small courtyard.

As he walked, the young man suddenly heard a woman's cry for help from the rice field on the side of the road: "Help~! Help~!"

With the woman's voice, a rough man's laughter followed: "Hahahaha~ Shuigen Niang, it's not that I Pan Hufei wants to be thin with you, it's really your rotten gambler man who is too uncompetitive to lose his daughter-in-law to me, you are Lao Tzu's woman now, hurry up and come over and serve Lao Tzu well." ”

The conversation in the field came to an abrupt end, followed by the tearing of cloth and the whispered whimper of a woman.

Ye Feng stood at the edge of the field and stopped for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, he turned his head sideways and motioned for Yuan Bao to jump back to the back basket, and rushed into the rice field.

Stopping his figure, Ye Feng saw a short, fat, dark-skinned man in a yellow shirt, who was pressing a disheveled plain-faced woman under him at this time, and was about to do that kind of thing.

When the woman lying on the ground saw Ye Feng, hope was rekindled in her originally gloomy eyes, she broke away from the black hand that the man covered her mouth, and shouted to Ye Feng with tears in her eyes: "Little hero, help me, help me!"

Hearing this, the man stopped his movements, turned his head to look behind him suspiciously, and waited until he saw clearly that the person standing behind him was a thin half-grown young man with a backpack on his back, and his face couldn't help but show a touch of disdainful sarcasm.

The man lifted his pants and tightened his belt, sneered a few times, pointed at the young man and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey~ little bastard! Tell you! I'm Pan Hu from the south of Thousand Caves City! If you don't want to die, quickly put the silver on the ground and get out, otherwise your father won't recognize you when Pan Ye beats you." ”

As he spoke, Pan Hu clasped his hands in front of his chest, straightened up and looked at Ye Feng, his expression full of disdain.

Ye Feng didn't answer, he glanced sideways at the woman behind Pan Hu, thought about it, pointed to the woman and said to Pan Hu with a smile: "Master Pan, I know the person behind you, she is my patient, I have to take her with me." ”

Ye Feng took out a silver ingot from his arms, bent down and put it on the ground, got up and walked to the woman's side.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the woman up from the ground, and whispered to her: "Shuigen Niang, I am Ye Feng, a few days ago you went to the Shen family medicine to spread the wind and cold medicine, and it is the medicine I caught for you." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, carefully looked at the appearance of the young man in front of her, and finally recognized Ye Feng, and couldn't help grabbing Ye Feng's hand and said excitedly: "Xiao Langzhong?

Then the woman suddenly realized that her clothes were a little disheveled, and hurriedly withdrew her hand to cover her chest, and her cheeks were flushed.

Ye Feng was slightly stunned, and he also turned his head politely, and was about to speak, but was pushed hard by Pan Hu on the side, and took a few steps back.

"Little bastard, you don't have anyone in your eyes, right?

Pan Hu put his hands on his waist and looked at Ye Feng with his neck crossed.

The disheveled young woman was so frightened by the man's momentum that she was silent, and did not dare to say anything. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a broken hoe thrown on the ground, and quietly moved her body over.

Ye Feng was not annoyed by Pan Hu's pushing and scolding, his expression was as usual, and he still said to Pan Hu with a smile:

"Brother Pan, you don't know the rules of the Thousand Caves City, no matter who is allowed to bully the women in the city, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't! Once the rules are broken, they will be driven out of the city by the people in the city, and they will never be allowed to step into the Thousand Caves City for half a step, I advise you not to take risks!"

The young man took out a silver ingot from his arms again, held it in his hand and checked it, "I will pay back the money that Shuigen's father owes you, the Chengnan Casino has never played much, and you don't bully me for not knowing the situation." ”

The young man threw the silver ingot to Pan Hu, clasped his hands around his chest and held the sword, and squinted.

Ye Feng's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he actually made the old fritter Pan Hu a little confused, standing in place, not knowing how to refute for a while.

Looking at the thin young man's smiling face, Pan Hu's back suddenly felt a chill for no reason, as if he had been targeted by a cold-eyed cheetah, and he might be bitten off his throat at any time.

The fiery evil thoughts in the man's heart before also disappeared completely with this feeling, leaving only the cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

The man coughed vigorously, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable fear for no reason, plucked up his courage, and said arrogantly to the young man:

"Ahem~ Your name is Ye Feng, right? Tell you! The money, I Pan Hu accepted it, but people, don't want to take it away! Otherwise, if I take someone to smash your broken medicine shop one day, don't blame Pan Ye for bullying the small!"

After speaking, Pan Hu clenched his fists with both hands, pinched his knuckles and crackled, and looked at Ye Feng with demonstrative eyes, as if he had concluded that his words could calm Ye Feng.
