Chapter 14 The Role of Barberry

The deal has been completed, although the third child does not know who this young man is, but since he can help a stranger at the city gate during the day, it is expected that his heart will not be bad!

"Does the boy know barberry?" the third child asked, he now accepts the identity of the old man, at least he can take advantage of it, and whoever he sees is a senior.

Let's just say the most basic, if he talks to a teenager with the appearance of a ten-year-old, he has to call him Brother Tai or Big Brother!

"Barberry?"

The boy thought about it seriously, the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember what kind of grass it was!

"Alas......"

The third child sighed, and said sincerely speechlessly: "If you go out of the city now, take ten steps forward, and at least you can step on a barberry grass, and you actually told me that you don't know?"

"Ah...... I know!" After the third child's reminder, the boy suddenly realized, and at the same time a little speechless!

Just now he thought that this barberry grass was some kind of precious medicinal material, but he didn't expect it to be the most common weed that can be seen everywhere on the grassland!

"But...... What do you ask barberry grass for?" the boy looked puzzled!

"Of course you saved your ten jars of wine, okay, don't ask, you go outside the city to pick barberry grass now, remember...... I want the barberry grass that has already bloomed, and I will pick it back with the soil, and I can't die!"

"What do you mean...... Can barberry grass save me from these ten jars of wine?" the boy still didn't believe it!

"Are you going or not?" The third child's temper also came up, and his tone was a little heavy, this young man looks good, why is there so much nonsense?

"Uh...... Go...... I'll go ...... now" Seeing that the old man was unhappy, the young man nodded hurriedly, and then ran out of the yard with a quick movement.

No matter what, you have to give it a try, and depending on the attitude of the other party, you may be able to succeed!

......

The boy left, leaving the third and Xiaobai in the courtyard, smelling the pungent spicy smell!

Xiao Bai's heart is very big, he has already found a corner by himself and started to nap, and the rest of the old three people looked around the ten big wine tanks for a long time, and still didn't see the boy come back.

For him now, this set of techniques can be said to be familiar with it anymore, and he won't spend the wrong line with his eyes closed.

There was a wooden bench in front of the wine tank, which was thought to be used by teenagers for wine tasting, and the third child sat on it, facing the wine tank, and began to draw talismans in the void!

"Boom......"

A familiar trajectory was drawn from the fingertips, although there was no white light from the fingertips of the down-and-out Taoist priests, but when it was used, it also had a trace of decent charm!

Soon, the first rune was drawn in the void, of course...... The Void Talisman is just a practice of technique, and nothing unexpected will happen!

After drawing the first talisman, his fingers did not stop, but continued to practice, anyway, now he has nothing to do, so he just practiced......

Once, twice, three times......

Slowly, the third child fell asleep, his eyes were closed, and a faint snoring sound came from his mouth, but his fingers did not stop, and he was still drawing talismans in the void!

This scene looks a little scary, a lot like sleepwalking, but it is very different from sleepwalking, in short...... His fingers never stopped, and he kept drawing talismans at the vat in front of him!

Xiaobai is in a fake sleep, the third child is already asleep, and in this courtyard where there is no third person, the wine vat in front of him slowly changes a little!

The wine vat was covered with a wooden lid, tightly sealed, but at this time, the wooden lid suddenly trembled, and the tremor became more and more violent, when the wooden lid trembled almost collapsed, a faint white light suddenly lit up!

If it weren't night, the light wouldn't have been noticed.

Fortunately, there are only one person and one horse in the courtyard now, Xiaobai is so tired that he didn't open his eyes even if he heard a faint sound, as for the third child...... He fell into a deep slumber and didn't even notice it!

His fingers were still drawing the talismans, and they were very agile...... Each time the void is carved, the brightness of the wooden lid will increase by one point, and gradually ...... A glowing pattern appears on the wooden lid!

If the third child comes to his senses at this time, he will definitely jump up in shock, this pattern ...... Wasn't it the talisman he stole from the down-and-out Taoist priest?

The glowing talisman is very obvious with every stroke, but it is crooked, like a ghost drawing, but it is such an awkward pattern that anyone looks at, and the glimmer of light emitted gives people a sense of holiness!

The third child's fingers still haven't stopped, and they are still depicting, and the talisman is getting brighter and brighter!

......

"Grandpa, I'm back......"

Suddenly, a shout woke up the sleeping third child, and he opened his eyes with a "bang"!

The moment he opened his eyes, the talisman on the wooden lid shattered directly with a "snap", turning into a little broken spark and dissipating, but it was captured by the afterglow of the third child!

"What's that?"

The third child was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully on the wine vat in front of him, but found nothing!

"No, I saw a bright light just now, could it be that I was dazzled?"

Squeak......

Just as he was carefully observing on the wooden cover, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and the boy walked in with a huge package on his back!

"Grandpa, the barberry grass you want, see if it's enough......" The young man put the package on the ground and opened it, and nearly a hundred barberry grass trees were lying neatly in the package, each with fresh soil on the rhizome!

The boy was indeed obedient and brought back all the soil where the barberry grass grew!

The third child's attention was finally diverted by the teenager and put the matter of the bright light aside!

"Enough, enough......"

He got up from the wooden bench, walked over to the package, and pulled a few times through a pile of barberry grass to make sure that the boy had dug according to his request!

"Grandpa, what are we going to do now?" Until now, the boy still didn't know what the other party wanted this barberry to do!

"Plant grass!"

"Grow grass, do you plant barberry?"

"Of course, why don't you let you pick it alive?" asked the third child rhetorically!

"But ......"

"Where did you get so much, but hurry up and get to work, and I will definitely return you ten jars of wine in good condition tomorrow morning!"

"Uh...... Alright!"

The young man no longer refutes, and now he vaguely believes the old man's words, because the other party is too confident!

......

The vitality of the grass is extremely tenacious, no matter how harsh the environment is, barberry grass is the same, even if there are no sudden stones, it can survive, not to mention that the boy dug up the soil back?

The young man is worthy of being a young man, his actions are quite quick, the third child has only planted ten trees, and the people have already planted all the barberry grass, and it is completely in accordance with his instructions, all of them are planted around the wine tank!

"Grandpa, what else do you need me to do now?" the young man was full of energy.

"Rest, wait for tomorrow dawn!" the third child spoke!

"Uh...... Is that the solution you said is so simple?" the young man was stunned, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face again!

"Whether it will be successful or not, we will know tomorrow morning, what are you anxious about?"

“......”

The boy had already believed him just now, but now he found out that his method was just planting grass, which made the boy start muttering in his heart again!

"Young man, you have to be patient, besides, even if these ten jars of wine are destroyed, wouldn't it be good to brew them again? It's not worth much!"

"Yes, it's not worth much!" The young man's face was more bitter, and he just sat on the ground, not caring about the dirty ground, and said softly: "Maybe this money is nothing in the eyes of others, but it is related to my future......"

"Huh?"

The third child was a little surprised, the value of these ten cylinders of wine is worth more than one gold baht at most, how can it be related to the future?

"Huh...... You don't know what I do, do you?"

"Isn't it sake brewing?"

"Uh...... It's okay to make wine, but I'm mainly studying at the academy in Dawan City now!" The boy finally revealed his identity!

"Are you a student of Dawan City Academy?" Lao San looked surprised, and then thought that if he hadn't caused him to be like this, he should be a student now.

"Yes, my name is Jian Ye, a student of the Dawan City Academy, in the Martial Arts Academy, and now a second-level student!" The young man not only told his name, but also his identity!

However, the third child was puzzled, and he didn't understand the meaning of the military general academy and the second-level students at all!

"Let me tell you that......"

Jian Ye saw the confusion in the old man's eyes, and explained: "There are three schools in the Dawan City Academy, namely the Martial Generals Academy, the Wisdom Academy, and the Mystery Academy!"

"To put it bluntly, the military general academy is a place to learn to lead soldiers to fight, and most of what you learn is commonly used on the battlefield such as battle formations and cavalry archery!"

The third child nodded, and said in agreement: "I understand, what the Wisdom Academy should learn is strategy, that is, military divisions, right?"

"Yes, because we are a nation on horseback, and we don't like scheming by nature, so the number of people in the Martial Arts Academy is dozens of times that of the Wisdom Academy!"

"And what does this occult school do?"

"I don't know!"

The young man shook his head, frowned and said: "The Mystery School is as mysterious as his name, and even there are no classrooms in the Mystery School at all, and there has never been anyone from the Mystery School, but there are rumors in the school that Bai Yi is the person from the Mystery School, but it has never been confirmed!"

"I see!"

The third nodded, since the young man didn't know, it was pointless for him to ask more, so he shifted the topic to the matter just discussed: "What do you mean by saying that these ten vasks of wine are related to your future?"

"There is a fee to pay for further study in the university, half a year is a semester, first-level students need to pay a gold baht for a semester, second-level study needs to pay five gold baht for a year, three days later is the time to pay the fee, I only have four gold baht now, and the fifth gold baht is counting on ten cylinders of wine to sell, but who thinks...... Alas......" The young man looked lonely: "If you can't pay the fees on time, you will be expelled from the school." ”

"That's right!"

The third child nodded, and gradually a smile appeared on his face, and suddenly said: "Jianye, you smell the smell in the air carefully!"

"What?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, a little unaware of the meaning of the other party's words, but twitched his nose twice along with his words!

"It's not smelly, what's ......" The young man wanted to ask what was wrong, but suddenly stopped, the loneliness in his eyes was slowly fading, replaced by excitement, his nose was still twitching vigorously, trying to determine if his discovery was an illusion!

It wasn't until he inhaled hard three or four times, and still didn't smell the pungent smell, that his eyes finally turned red, especially when he looked at the ten wine jars, and finally couldn't control his emotions anymore and shed tears of excitement!

Gone is the pungent smell from the vat!
