Chapter 3 Honey

When Lin Cheng came back, he carried a cloth bag in his hand, went directly to the firewood room to boil some boiling water, and walked in with the bamboo knot after a while.

Using a pillow to raise the girl's upper body, and carefully stuffing the straw between the girl's teeth, Lin Cheng said lightly: "I won't drink medicine for the past few days, this is honey, it's quite sweet, and it's best to balance cold and heat and nourish the body." It is said that there are demon bees in Dongyun Mountain, and I will go into the forest to take a look after a while. ”

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll let Tiezhu and his mother come over to accompany you in a while, otherwise you will be scared alone." ”

"Drink slowly, don't choke. ”

"Don't look at me with that kind of concern, I can't die. ”

"Hey......"

Sighing deeply, he didn't dare to look into the girl's eyes, but looked at the corner. There was pity in his eyes for a while, hatred for a while, and gradually turned into a terrifying red, and finally slowly returned to flatness.

Slowly put the girl flat, tucked the quilt, took out a backpack from the wardrobe and carried it behind him, closed the door lightly and walked out.

went to Tiezhu's house and sat for a while, and then rented a unicorn at the west gate of Dongyun City and galloped towards Dongyun Mountain at night.

Dongyun City is located at the foot of the eastern foot of a mountain peak in the Dongyun Mountain Range, and at the foot of the mountain there is a spiritual vein that does not enter the grade, where the medicine garden and the core disciple retreat in the palace are located. So if you want to enter Dongyun Mountain, you only need to go out of the city. In order to protect the safety of the palace and Dongyun City, and at the same time to obtain more resources, the king of Dongshan sent elite guards to build an acropolis for hundreds of miles into the mountains. The existence of the Acropolis blocks the infestation of the demon beasts and beasts in Dongyun Mountain, and at the same time, it also attacks regularly, which can not only eliminate the threat of demon beasts, but also obtain a large amount of resources. And over time, many merchants set up acquisition stations in the Acropolis.

Although a mountain road from Dongyun City to the Acropolis had been opened up for carriages to travel, it took Lin Cheng an hour to reach the Acropolis on horseback at night. And at this moment, the moon is already hanging high.

Returning the unicorn to get the deposit back, Lin Cheng went straight to Baicaofang, the largest shop in the Acropolis.

"Yo Kobayashi is here. ”

The Baicao House is never closed, and the old man who was checking the accounts in the store was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Cheng, and then immediately greeted him with a smile.

It is not the first time that Lin Cheng has dealt with the Baicaofang, most of the main materials of the herbs needed to treat the girl are collected by himself, and most of the auxiliary materials are purchased from the Baicaofang. And sometimes herbs that you can't use yourself are sold here. That's not all, with Lin Cheng's medical skills, he is also a doctor in Baicaofang. It was Chen Lan, who met here, that he entered the Dongshan Palace.

Therefore, although Lin Cheng was only fifteen years old, the people of Baicaofang did not dare to underestimate him. But the old man was too enthusiastic this time, and his enthusiasm was a little beyond imagination. The polite words that made Lin Cheng come to his lips were swallowed back.

"Caiyin, tea. ”

The old man beckoned Lin Cheng to sit down, and then asked with concern, "Is there something urgent to come so late?"

Few people who came to the Acropolis came at this time, and most of them arrived in the morning, so Lin Cheng must have been in a hurry at this time.

Lin Cheng nodded slightly with a calm face, "Yun Bo, I remember last time I heard that you purchased the honey of the demon bee here, I don't know if you have any goods here, I want to buy some." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, his eyes looked directly into Lin Cheng's eyes: "Xiaolin, we haven't dealt with each other once or twice, so I shouldn't have refused to do this." It's just that...... You must know the origin of my Baicao House, right?"

Lin Cheng nodded, although Baicaofang did not publicize his origin, he did not deliberately hide it. Baicao houses are all over the Dongyue Kingdom, and its owner is the Yaowang Mansion, one of the three major towns of the Dongyue Kingdom.

Seeing Lin Cheng nodding, the old man lowered his voice and said, "I did get some honey here last time, and I also transported the honey back to the Medicine King's Mansion. And three days ago, some people came directly from the Medicine King's Mansion and made it clear that this honey was not for sale. And these people directly took the person who sold honey last time to be a guide. They were expected to return yesterday evening, but there has been no news. One of them was accompanied by the small county lord of the Medicine King's Mansion, and she did not come back. However, this morning, the royal palace guards have already driven into Dongyun Mountain......"

Speaking of this, the old man no longer spoke, but stared at Lin Cheng's eyes.

Lin Cheng took the fragrant tea handed by the girl named Caiyin, and carefully blew the few tea leaves floating in the teacup. took a sip, still lowering his eyes, but did not answer. The other party mentioned the ins and outs of these things for no reason, and the fact that honey has become not for sale can be regarded as revealing some secrets. Lin Cheng believed that the other party must have some calculations.

After two years of wandering, and a young girl who indirectly killed his grandfather behind his back, Lin Cheng's mind is even tougher than most adults. At least he knew that holding back his curiosity would put him in the driver's seat.

"Little fox!"

The old man sneered, but he had to go on with the words already said. Somewhat helplessly, he continued: "We have been dealing with each other for almost half a year, and you have sold things with me a total of five times, and it can be seen from this that you are far from being comparable to ordinary people, especially in a place like the Dongyun Mountain Range. I don't hide my thoughts either. I want you to go to the mountains to participate in the search and rescue as well. If you can really save my young lady from the Medicine King's Mansion, I will definitely get a lot of benefits, but you will get even more. At least you can learn more advanced alchemy, and your sister's illness can be cured. ”

Took out a leather bag from the counter, opened the leather bag and put a gold coin on the table, and then put another one, seeing Lin Cheng's expression was immobile so he added another one, until he put ten gold coins, seeing that Lin Cheng was still silent, he put the leather bag away with some pain. After taking a sip of tea, he said unhurriedly: "Whether you succeed or not, this is your reward, and I believe in your personality, you can take it first." ”

One hundred copper coins are equal to one tael of silver, one hundred taels of silver are equal to one tael of gold, one gold coin is equal to one tael, and ten gold coins are one hundred thousand copper coins. For Lin Cheng, this remuneration is not ungenerous, and for the old man, this price is not insignificant.

Retracting his gaze at the gold coin, and taking a sip of tea, Lin Cheng did not rush to agree, but asked after a moment of silence: "What kind of cultivation is the leader of the Medicine King's Mansion, who is in charge of the Dongshan King's Mansion Guard, and how many people did he bring?"

"I don't know the leader of the Medicine King's Mansion, so I think it means that it should be the leader of the fourfold qi refining team. The Dongshan Royal Mansion led the team with three commanders, probably the fifth level of qi refining. Brought a whole team of a hundred people. ”

Hearing this, Lin Cheng's expression was slightly cold, and he shook his head slightly after a moment of silence.

The old man frowned, took out five gold coins again, and stared at Lin Cheng without blinking.

Lin Cheng pondered for a long time and asked, "Where are they going?"

The old man turned around and took out a bamboo tube, took out a roll of animal skins from it, opened it and pointed to the edge of the animal skin: "This is the Black Wind Valley, and there is a valley thirty miles west of the Black Wind Valley. Their destination is there. ”

Lin Cheng frowned and muttered to himself: "Two hundred miles, and you have to climb the mountain and go around the distance, almost three or four hundred miles." ”

Shen Yin shook his head for a moment, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, you also know that I have to rush back tomorrow night." ”

"If you leave now, it's going to be too late. ”

"It's night, and it's dangerous to enter the mountain at this time!" Lin Cheng still shook his head.

"Then you didn't come to the Acropolis at this time to talk to my old fellow, did you? The old man leaned back slightly and leaned back relaxedly.

Lin Cheng raised his eyelids and glanced at the old man, he knew that the initiative had been transferred, he really needed demon bee honey with more powerful medicinal powers, and he had to personally determine what kind of honey the honey belonged to. Different honeys have very different medicinal properties.

Nodding silently, he put away the things on the table and walked out of the hundred grass house without looking back into the mountains and forests in the night.
