You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 214 Come here
Brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were discussing the matter of going up the mountain. None of the three wanted to go to the mountain in vain.

The young man who came with him went up the mountain and wanted to follow Shi Xiaoliu to pick some herbs to supplement the family income.

They happened to hear the words of the three of them, and immediately said: "When we came out, we made an agreement with our families that we would go home in front of Guancheng Gate at the earliest.

If it's too late, we can stay at the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. "

On the way up the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu had actually observed the place where the herbs were collected. Since the young people were interested, he naturally didn't mind taking them with him to collect herbs.

Shi Zelan asked Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Qiuhua for their opinions, and they were also willing to learn to pick herbs.

The group of them divided up the group of followers on the mountain, so that if there were too many people for a while and they got separated, everyone would not know who to take the lead.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu each took care of some people, while Shi Zelan took good care of Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Qiuhua.

They did not go down the mountain from the front, but from the side. Shi Xiaoliu explained to them: "I looked at it when we came up. There are herbs, but not too many."

Not long after they walked down, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu separated with others. Xiao Yingzi and Xiao Qiuhua were both a little panicked.

"Xiao Lanzi, who are we going with?"

Shi Zelan looked at the separated people and said directly: "None of us will follow. We picked the herbs in front of us."

"Xiao Lanzi, isn't this the weed on the mountain?"

Xiao Qiuhua picked up a weed and held it up. Shi Zelan looked at it and then pulled the herb: "That is a weed, this is a medicinal herb."

Xiao Yingzi came over and said, "These two look so similar."

After Shi Zelan taught them how to distinguish, he specially picked herbs and handed them to them: "You pick this herb. You don't need to dig up the roots, just the branches and leaves above."

"I heard people say that medicine contains many roots."

"Well, there are just as many leaves and branches."

The three of them concentrated on picking herbs. Xiao Qiuhua's hands and feet were the most agile. She quickly packed a bag of furoshiki, and the small basket on her back was also filled with herbs.

She sat down to rest and pointed to Xiao Yingzi: "Xiao Yingzi, why don't you pick the herb on your left?"

Xiao Yingzi looked at where Xiao Qiuhua pointed: "It's all weeds."

After she finished speaking, she was a little suspicious of what Xiao Qiuhua had picked, and quickly called: "Xiao Lanzi, come and take a look at the herbs Xiao Qiuhua picked."

Shi Zelan came over, looked at what Xiao Qiuhua had picked, selected from them for a while, and said to Xiao Qiuhua: "Only these are medicinal herbs, the others are all weeds."

Xiao Qiuhua looked at Shi Zelan in disbelief: "I picked all the herbs according to the instructions you gave me."

Shi Zelan looked at her and smiled: "When you changed hands about halfway, you put the ones I gave you into the backpack."

Xiao Qiuhua thought about it carefully, and said to Shi Zelan very embarrassedly: "Yes, I picked for a while and my face was sweating.

When I wiped my face with my hands, I threw the herbs you gave me into the small backpack. "

Shi Zelan smiled: "Then you should take a break or continue collecting herbs."

"I will continue to pick herbs, and I will definitely check the herbs carefully this time. These two things look so imaginable."

At Shenshi, a group of them hurried to the city and entered the city before closing the city gate.

The officials guarding the city gate inspected the bags they carried and only let them go when they saw that they were full of medicinal herbs.

After entering the city gate, they were in a hurry to go home, and no one was in the mood to chat.

As they approached the street, they saw their families waiting at the intersection, and everyone suddenly became excited.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were also in the crowd. When they saw brother and sister Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, their faces were full of smiles. After entering the street, Shi Xiaoliu and his party obviously relaxed. The young man asked Shi Xiaoliu how to handle the herbs.

Shi Xiaoliu thought for a while and said: "If you are not free, we can accept your herbs and charge them according to the purchase price of the drug store."

The young people looked at each other and said that they still wanted to learn how to handle herbs, but if there was something they didn't understand, they would ask Shi Xiaoliu for advice later.

Shi Xiaoliu agreed. They had already reached the entrance of the courtyard, and Master Qiyuan was standing in the courtyard.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng entered the courtyard gate, Xia Yu followed behind them, his face full of excitement.

After seeing Qi Yuan, he smiled and said, "Dad, you told me before that the vastness of the world is beyond my imagination. Today I understand what you meant."

Master Qiyuan looked at him with a smile: "Yu'er, just remember these words of mine."

"Dad, I will keep your other words in mind and I will slowly understand them."

Master Qiyuan took the baggage from Xia Yu's shoulder, opened it, looked at the herbs inside, and said with a smile: "This herb is of good quality."

"Dad, that mountain is full of herbs like this. I thought there were too many of them and the herbs would be worthless."

"Herbs recognized by great doctors in the secular world cannot be measured by price. Each one is precious."

At night, the front yard finally became quiet.

Master Qiyuan smiled at Master Qicheng and said, "It's so worthwhile for us to live with them."

Master Qicheng asked Master Qiyuan with a smile: "Brother, are you not going to live in a temple these days?"

"Go, places like temples are very suitable for people like us who want peace of mind."

"Brother, I think Yu'er is used to living here."

"After the top candidates in the imperial examination are paraded through the streets, we still have to go to the south."

Master Qicheng frowned after hearing Master Qiyuan's words: "Brother, did they encounter something inappropriate in the south?"

Master Qiyuan shook his head: "They just arrived in the south not long ago, so it seems that they are relatively safe at the moment.

It's just that their masters and apprentices always give me the feeling that they are causing trouble.

I want to take a look at them. If nothing happens to them, we can continue to the east. "

"Brother, if they get stuck and can't get rid of them, you will miss Yu'er's marriage."

Master Qiyuan thought for a while: "When it's time to set off, I will go to the south and you will go to the east. I will catch up with you later."

Master Qicheng looked at him: "There is no need to make a decision in a hurry.

Brother, if you can solve the problem, don't let Yu'er help you finish it in the future. "

Master Qiyuan understood what Master Qicheng meant, and Wanyu's current personality was indeed not suitable for marrying Xia Yu.

It was late at night and the candles in various courtyards were extinguished.

The next day, Shi Xiaoliu got up early and carried the lantern outside the courtyard door, and saw the young man standing outside the door.

He was surprised for a moment and asked: "Is there anything wrong with you coming so early?"

The young man smiled at him and quickly turned around and left.

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head after seeing this. Just as he was about to close the courtyard door, someone immediately called: "Wait a minute."

Shi Xiaoliu didn't close the courtyard door and watched three young men carrying water not far away.
