Chapter 1: Xingyue Fruit
"Xiao Haozi, went out so early and went to collect medicine again?" said the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop in Huxi Town, to a teenager in his back with a basket.
"Yes, Uncle Lin. The boy replied.
"Rabbit cub, you have to have a longer eye this time, remember to bring me back the ore when you encounter a better one, don't throw it away like last time." Uncle Lin feigned anger.
"I know, but how can I have such good luck, I encounter it every time. The boy replied.
Lin shopkeeper in the mouth of the little Haozi, full name Yu Wenhao, this year 14 years old, originally lived more than 300 miles away from Huxi Town Pingyang Mountain under the Molin Village, five years ago one night, Pingyang Mountain suddenly flash flood, full of mud and stones, where the wood was broken early, the house collapsed, more than 10 villages under the mountain nearly 1,000 households only more than 30 people survived, Yu Wenhao's parents were also unfortunately killed in the flash flood, but Yu Wenhao's father before dying Yu Wenhao tightly protected under his body, the next day the disaster did not die more than 30 village names from under the rubble when the body of Yu Wenhao's father was opened, it was found that Yu Wenhao miraculously did not suffer much damage。
After the flash flood, the eyes were devastated, and the foot of Pingyang Mountain was no longer suitable for living, so Yu Wenhao followed the remaining more than 30 people to Huxi Town, which was 300 miles away.
Yu Wenhao's father used to be a Langzhong in the village, usually Yu Wenhao followed his father to help catch medicine, and followed his father to learn to read medical books without incident, and also knew some ordinary medicinal herbs, so after arriving in Huxi Town, he came to Baicaozhai, a larger pharmacy in the town, to apply for a medicine boy. Although Yuwenhao is young, he came all the way to the dust and dust when he first encountered a disaster, and his clothes were tattered, but there was a trace of heroism between his eyebrows, so he left him, including food and shelter, and three dollars of silver per month.
So in the past few years, Yu Wenhao has lived in Baicaozhai, usually help the king shopkeeper to classify and sort out the medicinal materials, the king shopkeeper saw Yu Wenhao work diligently, very like, usually free to teach Yu Wenhao some pharmacological knowledge, Yu Wenhao is also very easy to learn, in recent years, the pharmacology of more than 100 kinds of herbs in Baicaozhai has been very familiar, and from the Wang shopkeeper has a preliminary understanding of some human body meridian structure and medical knowledge, ready to save some silver to open a medicine shop by himself when he grows up.
Baicaozhai is a blacksmith shop next door, usually when Yu Wenhao is not busy, he goes to the blacksmith shop to start and move some ironware, and he has some strength in the past few years, and his height is about one meter six, and he looks about the same as some seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth.
A year ago, Yu Wenhao had already begun to go to Huxi Mountain more than ten miles away to collect medicine alone, and the medicinal materials collected by the king shopkeeper were purchased at a price one percent higher than the market price.
Thinking of the piece of ore that he threw away last time, Yu Wenhao regretted it for a while, a month ago, Yu Wenhao went up the mountain to collect medicine, and saw a fiery red stone, the size of a fist weighed more than a dozen catties, it looked good, and I wanted to bring it back to collect, but then the herbs were too much, and Yu Wenhao was too heavy, so he threw it into the mountain stream.
A few days ago, Yu Wenhao saw the same stone in Lin shopkeeper's shop, and asked Lin shopkeeper to know that it was a fire marble stone, which is very valuable, and adding a little to the iron can greatly improve the hardness and durability of iron, which is usually difficult to collect, a thumb-sized piece has been worth more than ten taels of silver, and the one that Yu Wenhao threw away is worth at least a few hundred taels, and a long-awaited house was thrown away by Yu Wenhao casually, and Lin shopkeeper also felt sorry for Yu Wenhao.
In the following month, with the help of Shopkeeper Lin, Yuwen Hao made up for the identification knowledge of ores, so as not to miss the good ore next time.
Today is the day when Yu Wenhao goes to collect medicine every month, and he carries a basket of three days of dry food, a small hoe of fine iron, a dagger of fine iron, and a ten-zhang long rattan rope.
An hour later, Yu Wenhao has come to the foot of Huxi Mountain, even if Yu Wenhao's body is already quite strong, dozens of miles down is also out of breath, after resting at the foot of the mountain for a while, Yu Wenhao began to enter the Huxi Mountain Forest, the edge of the herbs has been picked for many years, and the remaining ones are not enough years to be used for medicine, so it will be harvested more in the mountains and forests where people have not been collected.
Two hours later, Yu Wenhao had gone deep into the mountains and forests for forty or fifty miles, and his luck was good along the way, collecting a few more than ten years old money leaf grass and a nearly fifty years old mountain ginseng. Yu Wenhao found a big stone and sat down, put down the basket, took out some dry food and ate it to his heart's content, and then prepared to rest for a while before looking for medicinal herbs nearby, this place has many mountains and trees, and few people come, so there should be enough medicinal herbs collected.
How big is the Huxi Mountain Forest, no one in Huxi Town knows, only that no one has ever been able to go to the other side of the mountain forest, at most it is only more than a hundred miles deep into the mountain forest, and then it is not only difficult to walk, but also some fierce beasts, so the general medicine collectors will only look for it within a hundred miles of the edge of the mountain forest, and only encounter some small beasts such as anchovy chickens, badger pigs, brown rats and other small beasts that will not pose a threat to people.
After resting for tea and feeling that his physical strength was basically recovered, Yu Wenhao began to continue to look for herbs in depth, two or three hours later, Yu Wenhao looked at the herbs that had been half a basket full of joy, today Yu Wenhao was really lucky, only met a juvenile purple pupil bear, even an adult purple pupil bear Yu Wenhao can solve it, but the purple pupil bear cortex is not good, the bone can not be used in medicine, and the meat also has a sour taste that cannot be eaten, so Yu Wenhao did not entangle with it and bypassed it directly, the herbs collected in the past half a day are all good, and the herbs collected in one day today can be worth the harvest that came out before。
In the evening, Yu Wenhao found a huge phoenix crown tree, cleaned up the tree, unloaded the basket on his back, and prepared to rest here tonight, and it is estimated that he will be able to go back tomorrow for most of the day.
After eating some dry food, Yu Wenhao brought a lot of dead leaves and paved them, leaned on the tree to rest, he looked at the stars in the sky, thinking about his life in the past few years, although his parents are no longer there, but he has already supported himself with his own efforts, and if he saves silver for two or three years, he can buy a small house, open a small pharmacy, take a daughter-in-law, and leave a back for Yuwen's family, and the days are still full and comfortable.
Just when Yu Wenhao was about to fall asleep in a daze, a sudden flash of silver light flashed on the mountain wall in the distance, Yu Wenhao suddenly opened his eyes, could it be any ore, can emit silver light, is it silver moonstone, this is no worse than the fire marble stone that was thrown away last time, Yu Wenhao was secretly happy, picked up the basket placed on the side, and ran towards the glow, but there were fallen tree trunks, dead branches and foot-high vine grass everywhere along the way, and there were few people in that direction, but for Yu Wenhao, who was in good health, it was just a little more time at most.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Yu Wenhao finally walked near the luminous place, the glowing thing was on a raised rock on the mountain wall, four or five feet above the ground, Yu Wenhao looked at it carefully, it turned out to be not an ore, that thing grew on a rattan the thickness of a thumb, it was a fruit, Yu Wenhao carefully recalled the various herbs he had seen, his mind lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Starlight Fruit."
Starlight fruit is a rare medicinal fruit, raw food can detoxify fire, and other medicinal materials can be used to treat a variety of miscellaneous diseases, one is about the size of a baby's fist, it is difficult to see during the day, only at night when absorbing starlight will emit silver light will attract people's attention, a starlight fruit is worth at least two hundred taels of silver.
Although I didn't encounter precious ore this time, I met a starlight fruit with a higher value than ore, and after selling it, I could make up enough money for a house, and I didn't need to live in Wang's shopkeeper anymore, although Wang's shopkeeper was usually good to Yuwenhao, but who didn't want to have his own house, not to mention that Yuwenhao has been taking this as his life goal for the past five years, and this time he can achieve it once he comes out, and Yuwenhao himself secretly sighs that his luck is against the sky.
The big stone where the starlight vine is located is enough to have a zhang Xu Fangyuan, and next to the big stone is some dead branches and gravel, it will be much safer to pick it during the day tomorrow, but looking at the starlight fruit that glows silver from time to time, Yu Wenhao feels that it is always a little unsteady not to pick it and put it in the center of his basket, this is a house, and the height of four or five zhang is not too big a problem for him, Yu Wenhao thought of this and started to act.
He untied the basket on his back and began to climb upward, a year's experience allowed him to climb near the boulder without much effort, there was a raised gravel pile next to the boulder, covered with a layer of dead leaves, as long as he stepped on the stone pile, he could jump on the boulder, and the starlight fruit was in his hand, Yu Wenhao calmed down, raised his foot and stepped on the gravel, and suddenly his feet were empty.
"Oh no, there's a hole down there" Yu Wenhao said in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the boulder, but only grabbed a few dead branches, and his body fell straight down, after a few breaths, Yu Wenhao felt that he had fallen to the bottom of the hole, although he was a little dizzy, but he moved his hands and feet, it should be no big deal, it turned out that the ground was covered with dead leaves half a foot thick.
Yu Wenhao, who was immortal, calmed down, and began to look around, with the starlight of the cave entrance above, he could vaguely see that there were about a dozen square meters at the bottom of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was seven or eight feet above, only the size of a small grinding plate, because the light was dim, he couldn't see the specific appearance of the cave, and Yu Wenhao didn't dare to move, so he could only sit quietly on the ground and wait for tomorrow to dawn before making plans.
Although he was a little uneasy when he just fell, but now Yu Wenhao's nervous mood has basically calmed down, this year's medicine, Yu Wenhao has also experienced several large and small dangers, this time the luck should be good, so high did not fall to death, not even injured, as long as you wait until Tianming to find a way to go out, it is worth picking the starlight fruit, fantasizing about buying your own house after going back, and then come out to collect medicine, save some silver, open a medicine shop, life will get better and better, the vague Yu Wenhao gradually fell asleep, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile from time to time in his sleep。
