Chapter Twenty-Three: The Troubles of the Dart Game

Wang Yan fled back to the house with the beast and closed the door tightly, for fear that someone would come looking for him. I waited until it was dark and saw that there was nothing abnormal, and then I calmed down.

This was because there were too many things in the kitchen, and the chef was careless and did not check carefully, so that Wang Yan and the beast escaped.

Clear night sky with stars. The bright moon casts a faint light, adding a sense of tranquility to the moon dart game.

Zhou Zhengxiong came to the outside of the house where Wang Yan lived, and saw that the lights inside were still on, knowing that Wang Yan had not yet slept, he raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, and asked, "Wang Yan, Uncle Zhou has come to see you, can you go in?"

"Uncle Zhou, it's so late, what's the matter with you?" Wang Yan heard the voice, and hurriedly opened the door and let Zhou Zhengxiong enter the room to speak.

"That's right, I'm very happy to see your martial arts displayed today, and I'm relieved. Starting tomorrow, the dart game will start to bet, and Uncle Zhou wants you to go with him. In doing so, you can broaden your horizons and train yourself, and secondly, you can travel to many places with the team, meet the sick and poor, and heal them. Uncle wants you to make the game your home and stop wandering around. Zhou Zhengxiong did not directly ask Wang Yan if he planned to leave the dart game, but said such a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Moreover, I also plan to open a pharmacy for you next to the dart board, when you don't want to go out with the dart team, you can sit in the pharmacy, with a fixed place, the sick can find you faster, it is much better than you looking around for a patient." In this way, you can bring out your greater abilities. As for the poor, you can do without charging at all. What do you think. Zhou Zhengxiong said everything he wanted to say to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan listened to Zhou Zhengxiong's words, and after careful consideration, he felt that it was really good, so he nodded and agreed, agreeing to stay in the dart game and not leave.

The next day, as soon as the gate of the Yuewei Dart Bureau opened, many merchants who had been waiting outside the gate couldn't wait to squeeze into the Dart Bureau and asked to deliver their goods first.

Since the bandits were concentrated in the mountains and forests between Red Moon City and Orange Moon City, and no bandits appeared after Orange Moon City, almost all merchants chose to escort the goods to Orange Moon City out of interest considerations.

The distance between Red Moon City and Orange Moon City was only three hundred miles, and it only took three or four days for the dart team to return. Zhou Zhengxiong arranged for every 20 people to escort a convoy of goods, so that the dart bureau could send out five convoys of escorted goods every day.

Zhou Zhengxiong did not immediately let Wang Yan join the dart team that set off that day. He told Wang Yan that the dart teams did not travel far, and the time to go back and forth was very short, and it was impossible to leave him time to find a patient for treatment. You should first take advantage of the next few days to set up the pharmacy, and then follow the dart team out of the country when you have the task of going far away.

Zhou Zhengxiong had already sent someone to clean up an empty house overnight, and Wang Yan went over to take a look and felt quite satisfied. It's just that there are too few types of herbs in it, and the quantity is not much, which is not enough to open a pharmacy. He decided to pick some in the mountains himself.

Sitting in the carriage specially prepared for him by Zhou Zhengxiong, Wang Yan set off with the beast.

It was a really good feeling to ride in a carriage. Wang Yan felt the gentle shaking of the carriage, listened to the sound of the horses running up, and looked at the receding scenery outside the window, he felt how fresh all this was.

The beast was lying on the window of the car, looking out the window, and it asked Wang Yan: "Master, you said that those trees do not have long legs, how can they run backwards so fast?"

"Go while it's cool. Asking such an idiotic question to the beast, Wang Yan began to feel a headache.

But the beast stopped talking like an idiot, but heard it say, "Master, this time we will take the carriage, but we will save you a hundred pennies." “

After listening to the beast's words, Wang Yan directly took out a piece of silver from his body and smashed it towards the beast. Dare to expose his scars, it's uncomfortable.

"Shut your mouth for me, if you don't speak, I won't treat you like a dumb person. Wang Yan tapped his fingers on the beast's head and said angrily.

Not long after it had quieted down, the beast forgot Wang Yan's warning and began to speak again.

"Look, master, the beggars are still there, and you should go and teach them a lesson. “

"Master, our carriage is better than the others. ”

"Master, wake up, here we are. ”

Along the way, the beasts kept chattering, and although their voices were so small that even the coachman who was driving the carriage could not hear the slightest movement, it still made Wang Yan's good mood for the first time riding in the carriage disappear. There was really no way, so he had to cover his ears and sleep.

The carriage came to the end of the road and could not go any further. Wang Yan got out of the car and told the coachman to come here to pick him up in three days, and then he took the beast and ran quickly towards the forest.

Back in the familiar forest, Wang Yan jumped excitedly on the tree. Although it has only been more than ten days since he left here, for Wang Yan, it seems like a long, long time has passed.

"Didn't you keep saying that you have a good nose and want to take me to find rare herbs, now it's okay. Prove it to me, and let me believe that you can do something other than eat and sleep. After picking some common herbs, Wang Yan remembered the promise of the beast, and said to the beast with some ridicule.

"Master, have you ever heard that the smell of rare herbs can spread to a distance of 108,000 miles? No matter how smart my nose is, I can only smell the smell of herbs within a hundred meters, so you should save your worries, if you smell it, I will naturally tell you." "The meaning of the beast's words is obvious, if you want to get rare herbs, you should find them yourself. If you can't walk around, you won't be spotted by it.

"So you've been teasing me. Wang Yan seemed to have just come to his senses.

"Who said I teased you, master, can you smell herbs within a hundred meters?"

"I don't have to be within 100 meters to find out. Wang Yan said angrily.

"That's what you said, so you don't need me to help you find it. I'm ready to sleep, so take care of me. The beast really hid in Wang Yan's arms and fell asleep.

Pigs, pigs, where are they sent? Send them to the butcher's house and kill them and sell meat. This is what Wang Yan wants to do to the beast the most now.

Wang Yan soon devoted himself to concentrating on collecting herbs again, and he believed that he could still find good herbs through hard work.

The next day, when Wang Yan was passing by a place where he had picked herbs, he had just noticed a rabbit running by, and he heard the beast cry as if he had discovered a new world: "Master, I can understand what the animal is saying! “

Wang Yan: "......"

Passing by a forest with monkeys, Wang Yan saw several monkeys playing in the trees.

"Master, the monkeys say you look like them, but they don't understand why you don't have a tail. “

Wang Yan: "......"

A flock of small birds flew through the sky.

"Master, those little birds are laughing at you for not having long hair, you look nondescript. “

Wang Yan: "..."

"Master, the pheasant said it had a stomachache and was going back to rest. “

"Master, the two bees are arguing over which flower is sweeter. “

"Master, how do you plug the mouth of the beast with grass!"

Wang Yan, who couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't stand the beast's words, so he grabbed a handful of weeds and stuffed it into the beast's mouth. I'll let you talk endlessly.

Three days passed like this, and although Wang Yan did not find rare herbs, he still had a lot of harvest, and he picked a lot of various herbs. Carrying it on his body, it was like a hill pressing on him. This is also thanks to his strength, which can be carried by him.

Coming to the thatched hut where he once lived, Wang Yan knelt in front of Grandpa Tao's tomb and told his experience these days, and then sprinkled a few handfuls of soil on the tomb and kowtowed three times before leaving.

Wang Yan sat in a carriage full of herbs and returned to the Yuewei Dart Bureau. As soon as the herbs were scattered in the yard and prepared to be dried and stored for later use, the housekeeper Zhou Tong came to him: "Wang Yan Gongzi, the master asked you to go over to see him." ”

Zhou Zhengxiong will be in the house where the guards live in the dart bureau. Looking at the several guards who were escorting the injured dart car, his brows furrowed.

"Uncle Zhou, are you looking for me?" Wang Yan asked as soon as he saw Zhou Zhengxiong.

"You see, they were all the first guards to escort the dart car, and in the process of escorting the dart, they were attacked by bandits, and although the goods were saved, everyone was injured. You have to heal them quickly, they won't be able to dart anymore for a short time. Zhou Zhengxiong was full of worry and frowned.

If it was only for these guards, Zhou Zhengxiong would not be so worried. He was now worried about whether the guards of the dart van who had departed later would be attacked as well. If that is the case, once there are too many injured guards, the game will close down again due to the lack of guards to escort the car, which will not only affect the business income of the game, but more importantly, it will cause serious damage to the reputation of the game.

Wang Yan carefully examined the wounds of the injured guards and found that their injuries were all serious, and the wounds on some of the guards were even deep to the bone. Wang Yan hurriedly cleaned, disinfected, medicated, and bandaged these wounds. After he had tied up the wounds of all the wounded guards, he said to them: "You can recuperate in peace, my medicine is very effective, and the wounds will heal in a few days, and there will be no scars." ”

When Wang Yan was busy with all this, Zhou Zhengxiong called him to his room.

"Yan'er, can you tell me what you think?"

"Uncle Zhou, judging from the wounds on the guards, the martial arts of the bandits who attacked the guards should not be high, but there must be a lot of people, and they are all ruthless. The guards were supposed to have been slashed in the scuffle. Although the bandits were repelled this time, the bandits will definitely make a comeback. The guards of the dart bureau protect the goods and affect the robbers, they will attack even more frantically, and once our guards have suffered heavy casualties, there are not enough guards to escort the darts, and the bandits' purpose is achieved. And our Yuewei Dart Game will lose its reputation because of this, until the decline disappears. ”

"Very good, what you said coincides with what I thought, so in your opinion, how should we deal with the attack of the bandits?" Zhou Zhengxiong nodded appreciatively, and then asked.
