All the children who passed the test were sent to a small courtyard in the medicine collection hall. There are more than ten large stone houses in the small courtyard, which are specially used for medicine pickers.

Ye Qin was led to take a bath, lost the ragged linen, changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes of a new medicine picker, and then was arranged to go to one of the stone houses in the South Courtyard. He fell asleep and slept all afternoon. In the evening, when I was having dinner, I smelled the smell of rice and woke up.

Ye Qin found out that there were four other children in the stone house, two boys and two girls, who were eating rice and laughing. They were all dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and they had been groomed like Ye Qin, and they couldn't tell what their origins were.

On the table in the stone house, there was a rice bucket and several large plates of vegetables. There are also five pairs of chopsticks. One of them is still empty. Ye Qin knew that it was his own dishes and chopsticks, so he immediately got up and ran over to grab the bowl and grab the rice. If it's late, I'm afraid that all the meals will be eaten. After all, after spending more than one or two decades here, almost all the children have learned to grab food.

Ye Qin is the same, just smelling the aroma of rice can stimulate and wake up from his dream.

A tall and sturdy, tiger-headed boy, seeing Ye Qin's anxious appearance, pointed at him and laughed: "Haha, look at this kid in a hurry." No need to grab, there is enough food here. Instead of eating hard steamed buns and porridge that fades out of the bird's flavor, now eat brown rice and green vegetables, and have enough to eat. What kind of identity are we, but the official disciples of the Medicine Picking Hall will inevitably soar in the future, can we compete for a little food?"

"Just choke. ”

A thin boy next to him, but with a hint of wit in his eyes, also echoed. The other two girls, holding the rice bowl, looked at Ye Qin with a smile, almost burrowing Ye Qin into the crack of the ground in shame.

However, although Ye Qin couldn't hold it on his face, his subordinates didn't slow down at all, and stuffed it into his mouth after picking up the food. He hadn't eaten for a day, and he was already hungry, so even if no one was fighting him, he had to eat as soon as possible.

The two boys were very eloquent, one by one, and kept talking.

Soon, Ye Qin knew their names from their small talk.

The tall and sturdy boy was Yang Yicheng, twelve years old, and was born as a local blacksmith in the county. Since he was a child, he has followed his father to strike iron and practiced a strong muscle.

The clever boy, named Feng Xiao, was eleven years old and came from a tenant family near the county seat. The other two girls, 11-year-old Qian Ruoxiu and 10-year-old Sun Ying, are also from the county seat, and their families work as tailors and weavers.

Ye Qin was surprised to find that the four of them were all ordinary people within ten miles of Zhuqi County and the surrounding county seat, and none of them were from the countryside.

He was the only one who came from a poor mountain and remote place hundreds of miles away, deep in the mountains and old ravines. Ye Qin's subconsciously, he couldn't help but feel a secret inferiority. Compared with him who was born in a poor mountainous area, the four of them live in the county town, and their family background is quite good.

In fact, the recruitment of medicine picking children in Zhuqi County is only within dozens of miles around the county seat, and it does not go to the far countryside to recruit people. If Ye Qin hadn't heard the news from the official messenger by chance at the pergola of the post station, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to the county seat.

"Hey, stunned boy, what's your name, how old are you, where are you from?"

Yang Yicheng asked with a big grin.

"Ye Qin, eleven years old, nearby, nearby~ people's homes. ”

Ye Qin heard that they all reported their names, so he naturally couldn't hide it. It's just that he didn't want them to know that he was from such a remote ravine, so as not to be discriminated against by them, so he deliberately said something vaguely. These ten miles are considered nearby, and hundreds of miles are also considered nearby, all within the scope of Zhuqi County, and he is not lying.

Yang Yicheng didn't delve into where Ye Qin came from, and laughed: "Ye Qin? haha, this name is really weird, what does the word 'Qin' mean? It's not as good as my words, Yicheng, a success, haha! My father is so talented, he gave me such a good word, and sure enough, he entered the medicine collection hall at one time." ”

Feng Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment, but his word "small" didn't mean anything special. Just because he is the third in line at home, the eldest Feng Da, the second Feng Zhong, and the third are just the turn of a small character.

The words of Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying are the words they asked for from the county academy.

Ye Qin explained: "I don't know what Qin means. However, my Ye family ancestor once had a talent ten generations ago, and left a book with words for future generations, which is still on the altar of my family's ancestors. My father picked out a word for me from the book, which is this Qin character. ”

Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxiu, Sun Ying and others suddenly widened their eyes.

Although it was ten generations ago, it was also amazing, it was a symbol of status and status, and it was completely different from those of them whose ancestors had been born as civilians for hundreds of lifetimes. They immediately looked at Ye Qin with admiration, and they didn't dare to underestimate Ye Qin anymore, and even the tone of their words was much more modest. Don't dare to call the kid long, the kid is short.

Ye Qin couldn't help but secretly laugh. His ancestors had a showman, but he didn't know when, and now he was just a poor hunter in the old ravine.

Yang Yicheng and the others talked about the time of the drug test, and talked about how terrible the drug test was. Then, they soon discovered that the five people living in this stone house had all passed the test from the hands of Wang Cai Medicine Master, and they were the disciples of Wang Cai Medicine Master, and they all trained with Wang Cai Medicine Master in the future, so they were arranged in a stone house.

Yang Yicheng was happy.

"Ha, in this way, we are the same brothers from the same master who taught us in the same family! I am the oldest, and I will be your senior brother from now on. Ah Qin is the second, A Xiaopai is the third, Ah Xiu is the fourth, A Ying is the fifth, it's just like that, let's be commensurate with brothers in the future!"

Feng Xiao was a little dissatisfied with this sorting.

"I'm obviously a few months older than Ah Qin, why am I the third?"

"If there is a talent in your ancestor, then this second child will belong to you!"

Yang Yicheng glared at him, and Feng Xiao immediately had nothing to say.

Qian Ruoxiu and Sun Ying have no opinion, they are already younger.

In less than half a day, the five of them gradually got acquainted, and there was no initial strangeness. After dark, Yang Yicheng and the others were still talking excitedly. talked about the prestige of the medicine collection hall, and talked about some trivial things in Zhuqi County. Several of them are natives of the county, and they know a lot of things. He is still young, and he doesn't have the slightest scruples when he speaks. Moreover, they have now become the medicine picking boys of the medicine collection hall, and they feel that they have a bright future in the future, and they are full of pride, and they can't wait to show their skills and feet immediately and be the master of that person.

Ye Qin rarely talked, in this place in Zhuqi County, he was still a stranger, so he could only listen silently. He didn't have any special thoughts in his heart now, he just wanted to mix a bite of food in the medicine collection hall.

And he thought in his heart that it was more of a big cow, and he didn't know where the big cow was now. In the future, if you are free, you must go to find a big cow.

Thinking like this, he gradually fell asleep.
