"Wow, what a large field of medicinal herbs, this time it is developed!" Ming Xuan saw this large area of medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, his guess was really right, although this Huoyun Mountain has an altitude of nearly 15,000 feet and a span of 60,000 zhang, even in Zhongzhou, it can be regarded as the number one, but the villages at the foot of this mountain are all based on collecting medicines. Hunting for a living, there are hundreds of families in their own village alone, no matter how big the mountain can not afford such a toss, the herbs are becoming more and more difficult to pick, and it is extremely difficult to find a herb in a familiar place, in order to survive, the herb pickers have to go deeper into the mountains, looking for places that others have not been, so as to have a good harvest.

This time Ming Xuan took a big risk, and ran straight to the area near the Black Forest, the Black Forest is the core area of Huoyun Mountain, and it is also a place where fierce beasts gather, and from time to time there will be fierce beasts. The hunting is carried out, and gradually such a zone has been formed, most of the beasts are active in the Black Forest area, and human beings are active outside the Black Forest, of course, this is just a tacit understanding formed by everyone for a long time, conventions, not to observe, so there will be fierce beasts outside the Black Forest, but because of the existence of the Orion, basically it is not too much of a threat, people sometimes go to the Black Forest, but because it is too dangerous, it is relatively rare, because of the inaccessibility, so it is understandable that there are large areas of unpicked herbs here。

Ming Xuan carefully dug up the herbs, firstly, the more complete the herbs were collected, the better the medicinal effect, and the higher the natural price, and secondly, in this dangerous area, he didn't want to make too much noise and attract the beasts, then it would be over,

"Hemostatic herb, as the name suggests, is used to stop bleeding, mixed with other herbs and has the effect of removing saprophytic muscle, so the complete should be able to buy two pennies!"

"Activating the fruit, used to relax the meridians and activate the meridians, also has a certain effect of removing rheumatism, and is worth five cents!"

"Tongxinshu, licorice"

Ming Xuan was digging, and his heart was happy for a while, this time it was a big harvest, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no gain for a while, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk, and he came here, sure enough, opportunities and risks coexist!

After picking a basket full of them, Ming Xuan was satisfied, looking at the still a large piece of medicinal herbs, and secretly wrote it down in his heart, let's come again when I have the opportunity, after all, I can't always joke with my own life. The harvest was quite rich, and Ming Xuan bit the sweet wild fruit and jumped down the mountain,

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao are good!"

"Oh, it's Mingxuan, see you're so happy, I've picked a lot of it today."

"Hmm"

Looking at Ming Xuan's fading back, Uncle Wang couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"How old a child is this, I'm afraid it's not even ten years old."

"It's not easy to come out to collect medicine for a living at such a young age."

"This child's parents died early, and he depended on his grandfather for his life, and the children of poor families were in charge of the family early!"

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to bring you medicine!" Shopkeeper Li stopped the abacus in his hand, looked up at the young man who was coming in from the door, there was no one around, and the words just now were undoubtedly what this young man said.

I saw that the young man was dressed in a white short coat and cyan trousers, and the piles of patches on it could no longer be completely distinguished from the mud, and the sweat on his face was mixed with the loess on his face, as if mud was flowing on his face, only a pair of eyes were as bright as ever, but his thin figure was carrying a basket that was extremely incommensurate with his figure, and there were all kinds of herbs in it, and the whole shape formed a strong contrast with this gorgeous medicine hall.

The shopkeeper frowned, and then let go again, with a habitual smile on his face; "Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be Mingxuan Xiaoyou!, come on, talk inside!" The young man pouted and didn't say anything, and walked straight to the back room. Looking at the mud footprints left by the young man walking on the floor, the shopkeeper frowned, but looked at the piles of medicinal herbs in the young man's back basket, and his face was full of smiles, but he was full of snobbery and indifference when he looked closely.

"Hemostasis grass, two pennies a plant, a soothing leaf, three pennies a plant, Huoluo fruit, five pennies a plant......" The young man didn't talk nonsense, entered the back room and started to buy and sell, quoting the price of medicine one by one.

"It's so expensive, you might as well grab it!How is it half more expensive than last time!", the shopkeeper's face changed.

"Shopkeeper, you are embarrassed to say! Everyone else is at this price, not to mention that my herbs are better than others, you used to bully me for not understanding the market, and deliberately suppressed the price of my medicine, but fortunately, Uncle Li from Niucun told me the truth," the young man was obviously prepared, but after all, he was young, so he confessed Uncle Li.

"Hehe, how can I deceive your little brother! Look at your herbs are obviously very broken, and the effect of this medicine will be greatly reduced! This is a little lower than other people's prices, so let's do it, this time the original price of eighty percent, no nonsense!", the shopkeeper saw that the young man knew the middle market, and he was busy haha, but the poor Uncle Li who was cursing in his heart, it seems that the next time he sends medicine, he will have to make it difficult for a while.

"No, my herbs are no worse than others', and the shopkeeper's, now the medicine is getting harder and harder, and I have to run into the deep mountains and old forests, at this price, if you don't want it, I have to go to the Shangde Medicine Hall, I heard that the price there is higher." The boy didn't say a word, picked up the basket and walked out.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious, so he hurriedly stopped the young man and said with a bitter face: "Don't, don't mind, okay, just come at the price you said." ”

After some bargaining, the young man exchanged a total of 2 taels of 400 yuan, and when he came out of the medicine hall, he was still the same as before, the only thing that changed was the empty back basket and the eyes that could not hide his excitement.

Looking at the young man's thin back, the shopkeeper was sullen, it was true that the same herb could be bought for only half the price! Thinking about it, he was irritated: "Little dog, where are you dead!, why don't you go and wipe the muddy footprints on the floor for me!Be careful that I will deduct your wages!" The shopkeeper had no choice but to find the clerk who was grinding medicine in the back room to get angry.

The young man's name is Gu Mingxuan, he is the teenager who ventured deep into the Black Forest to collect medicine before, and his grandfather depends on each other, although he is not even ten years old this year, but he has been collecting medicine for several years, and he has been providing medicine to Jishi Medicine Hall all year round, that is, the medicine hall just now, before, the shopkeeper deceived him when he was young, and the price of buying his herbs was half cheaper than other people's medicines, fortunately, Uncle Li reminded him, so he was not fooled again, Mingxuan looked at the money bag that was twice as much as before, not to mention how happy he was, and subconsciously tightened the money bag, after all, this was his hard-earned income at the risk of his life。

After Ming Xuan bought some daily necessities, he ran to the steamed bun shop, in order to catch up early, he didn't have time to eat breakfast, he happily bought four big meat buns, and before he could sit down, he took a big gulp.

"You know, it turns out that the Huoyun Mountain we have here is not called Huoyun Mountain, it is called Tianfeng Mountain, as high as 10,000 zhang, straight into the sky, it can be regarded as a famous mountain in this Zhongzhou, according to legend, a thousand years ago, there was a sudden burst of fire rain in the sky, there was a huge fireball falling from the sky, and it smashed on Huoyun Peak, at that time, Huoyun Peak was not called Huoyun Peak, it was called Bantian Peak, that there was the highest place in Tianfeng Mountain, and as a result, this smashed to the point that it was only more than 1,000 meters high now, and also smashed up a huge fire cloud, which Huoyun Mountain got from this, that situation at that time......" The storyteller in the teahouse next door is telling a story, Mingxuan comes to this bun shop every time he sells out the medicine, and listens to this "free" storytelling while eating the buns.

After telling a story, Ming Xuan was still thinking about it with relish, when suddenly a burst of sunlight pierced his eyes, only to find that it was already three poles in the morning, and he was shocked: It's not early, grandpa must have gotten up, and if he goes back late, he will inevitably be scolded. Hurriedly packed his bags, asked the boss for a piece of oil paper, carefully wrapped the remaining buns, put them in the back basket, and then ran to the house like a gust of wind, Mingxuan's family did not live in the village like everyone else, but lived on the mountainside, a long distance from the town.

Since Niu Village is located at the foot of Huoyun Mountain, it is the only way up the mountain, Ming Xuan trotted for a while, and he didn't care about the sweat on his body, and ran towards a dilapidated small thatched hut, "Uncle Li, are you there?" This is Uncle Li's home, "Who? Oh, Xiao Xuan, let's go sell medicine, how about it, is there any harvest this time?" I saw a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life walking out of the back room trembling with a cane, Uncle Li turned out to be a medicine picker, but because he broke his leg during a medicine collection, he stopped this business, and he helped Ming Xuan when he collected medicine.

"Well, it's twice as much as before" Ming Xuan didn't hide his joy,

"Okay, that's good. Uncle Li was also very happy.

Ming Xuan took out some herbs from his arms and handed them to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, this is the Huoluo fruit, it will be very helpful for your legs and feet" Perennial medicine, naturally the effect of the medicine will also know a little bit.

"How can I ask for this, no" Uncle Li is also a medicine picker, so he naturally knows that it is not easy to collect medicine.

"You just take it, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have been pitted by that black-hearted shopkeeper! Not to mention, grandpa is still waiting for my breakfast!" Ming Xuan put down the herb and left with a gust of wind.

Looking at the departing thin back, and the active fruit that was still rolling on the ground, Uncle Li felt guilty in his heart, in fact, he knew that the shopkeeper was squeezing Mingxuan a long time ago, but because he was afraid of the shopkeeper's retaliation, he didn't dare to say it, until he stopped doing this business, and he didn't have any scruples in his heart, so he sued him, he didn't think of his young age, but he also knew that he was grateful for it. When I think about what I've done, I can't say what I feel like in my heart.
