Chapter 2 New Life

The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Ze was used to getting up early. Waking up early is already a habit of medicine growers, and today is also an important day, and it seems that there are new ways to make ends meet. After a simple wash, through the window on the north side, I saw a familiar figure, slender, it was the maid of Xiao Wu's family, it should be the new river well in the city to fetch water, Xiao Wu was naturally still sleeping in the house.

He Ze closed his eyes and walked out of the house, going to the city today to meet the "new employer". This is the newly appointed governor of the government, and he has the task of delivering letters on a daily basis, but this sending letters is too troublesome, and that day he Ze has nothing to do, so he outsources this drudgery, on the one hand, he can get a good reputation for "good deeds", and on the other hand, this transaction is really worth it. After all, a letter and a letter can't give much money to He Ze in a day.

Xiao Wu naturally knew about this, and he didn't sneer less, he definitely didn't want to do hard work, "Born unlucky, I lost such a blessed name." He Ze often didn't understand what Xiao Wu said, after all, he hadn't read any books since he was a child, and he wanted to read the pharmacopoeia word by word. Two days ago, Xiao Wu had never heard of any ancient heroes or something, but He Ze never thought he would be a hero.

The only entrance and exit in the city is on the side of the county government, after all, it is not a big city, a gate is a few wooden solid structure doors, the county government is located here is also convenient to manage, but there is a bit of surveillance in the atmosphere.

He Ze's Baipoli was still some distance away from the city gate, and when he passed through the Xinhejing in the city, he found that there was already a long queue, which was also the reason why Xiao Wu's maidservants got up early.

Not far from Xinhejing, you can hear the sound of Lang reading, it is the only private school in the city, Mr. Teaching when he was young, he went to the capital to pass the examination, and then returned to his hometown to find a woman to settle down. This is also the place where He Ze has always been obsessed, when he was a child, he often took advantage of the kung fu of fetching water to deliberately pick a lot of people to avoid the master to eavesdrop, although Mr. Teaching is very strict in teaching, but he can turn a blind eye to this kind of "stealing teacher" people, but unfortunately for him, an orphan, it is a luxury to go to a private school to study, and when he grows up, he is busy taking care of the herb garden, and this matter is over.

Further north, there is a central attic, everyone calls it "nameless empty building", nameless is too old, no one knows who built this building, the empty building is the structure of this building can not be inhabited. It is strange that this building is not inhabited, and after so many years, it can still be so new.

This building has a total of three floors, the first floor has no door, all sides are tightly sealed with stones, it is said that there were thieves who wanted to find out before, after breaking the first layer of stones, the second layer is actually a stone, it seems that the first floor is full of stones. The second floor is a transitional level, probably built for height. The third layer surrounds four directions, and there are four huge plaques, which surround the three floors tightly. It looks very depressing.

He Ze naturally couldn't understand the words on the card, but the senior brother Lu Qingchuan knew that he remembered the first time he passed by, Lu Qingchuan said to He Ze: "This north-facing is "equivalent exchange", south-facing is "different hearts", east-facing is "out of nothing", and west-facing "from the source" "In addition to the plaque on the east side, there seem to be traces of modification."

He Ze bypassed the nameless empty building, and came to the gate of the county government without difficulty, it seemed that the governor had not come to work on an errand, so he sat down on a stone bench at the gate of the county office, but when he saw the city gate, he found something unusual.

It stands to reason that He Ze, who grew up in the city since he was a child, is also familiar with the faces of the small city, but there are many strangers waiting outside the city to enter the city today. Since the discontinuation of medicine to the court, the number of people coming and going in the city has decreased dramatically. The master and Lu He's two apprentices said: "Our herbs are for the main master of the palace to enjoy alone, and the people outside don't have our planting conditions and seeds, and no one dares to plant them, it's a matter of life." "For the first time, the master seems to be proud of his profession.

Looking at the clothes of the people outside the city, it made He Ze a little envious, he could only wear the set of summer clothes given by the master as an adult, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was actually a little cold.

But those people didn't pay attention to He Ze at all, they just stared at the city, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

After a while, the governor still didn't come, he was in charge of opening the door, and he didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting to open it today. The group of people planted a tall and thin man in green clothes with a pocket in his pocket, who seemed to be impatient, kicked the door, and saw He Ze looking at him, he suddenly lost his temper, and just kept laughing.

But the emotions of those behind him are completely different, some disdainful, some sarcastic, some indifferent...

At this time, there was a sound of keys tapping behind him, and there was no need to look back, this was the arrival of the new governor.

"You stinky boy, you got up quite early, and you were born to deliver letters. Looking at his eyes, it seems that he still hasn't woken up, and he is still a little angry when he gets up.

He Ze doesn't care about this kind of ridicule at all, Xiao Wu doesn't know how many times he has ridiculed him since he was a child, if he can't stand this, then don't live. But this middle-aged governor is estimated to be hopeless when he gets off work, and he lives a mixed life, and he is not sad about his own work, and no one in the city has real respect for him, that is, he Ze is used to fill his self-esteem, and occasionally he will brag to the children about the "great achievements" in the military camp when he was young.

"I'll talk about the delivery of the letter after opening the door. The governor took the key and prepared to open the wooden door.

Although the people in the city didn't care about him at all, whether outsiders could enter the city or not depended on his face.

Naturally it won't be easy for these people to let it in, and after opening the door, a fat body blocked in front of the door, holding a small pocket in his hand, and the intention naturally didn't need to be said.

The people who came in were also very knowledgeable, and everyone threw a lot of things into it.

Counting carefully, there were 8 people, including two children younger than He Ze, a boy and a woman, who were dressed much more luxuriously than him.

When the boy passed by the gate of the county government and looked at He Ze, his eyes were full of disdain, and he seemed to look down on He Ze very much, and the woman next to him stared at him before he restrained himself.

The girl didn't do much, but she said a few words to the woman in front of her, as if she was competing with a boy, and there was a strong middle-aged man behind her.

The middle-aged man glanced at He Ze on the bench, He Ze felt the hot impact, and suddenly stood up, wanting to step back.

After collecting the money, the governor came back and asked with a smile, "Do you know what they say about you?"
