Chapter 9 Preparing to enter the mountains

Three days later, in the early morning, in the living room of a room, a fat old man wearing a gray robe sat at the head of the table. Next to him stood two young men, both wearing blue robes and carrying bamboo baskets behind them. , the two young men were listening intently to what the old man was explaining.

These three are of course Wu Fan, Song Fei and their master Liu Lao.

Just listen to Mr. Liu say: "You two are following the herb collection team into the mountains this time. It is also a kind of training for you. After entering the mountains, you must remain alert at all times. There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and some ferocious beasts are even accurate." Top-notch experts will get a headache if they see this, so for your own safety, you must not stray too far away from the herb collection team."

Wu and Song faced Mr. Liu, bowed with their hands clasped in fists, and said respectfully: "Disciples, please remember Master's teachings."

Mr. Liu looked at his two apprentices with a slight smile on his face. Mr. Liu has paid a lot for them over the years. As a master, he is very qualified and he has taught all his skills to them. Maybe it was because he was older, or because he had no children in his life, so he treated his two disciples as his own.

The old man picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looked at the two of them and continued: "You may have heard that this time, the escort agency jointly hired by several drug stores was led by a quasi-first-class expert. As long as you Don't stay too far away from him, he will ensure your safety. This quasi-first-class master is actually a good friend of my teacher. I and another medicine shop owner went to beg him to come out!" Mr. Liu said and looked again! The two apprentices glanced at each other.

After hearing this, Wu Fan and Song Fei's expressions changed at the same time, and they thought to themselves: "It turns out that this quasi-first-class master was begged by Master for their safety." Thinking of this, both of them looked grateful.

"This time Baiyao Zhai, like our Huichun Hall, sent more than 20 people into the mountain. Other small and medium-sized medicine shops sent more than 10 people into the mountain. Some only had a few people, and some only had more than a dozen people. Baiyao Zhai will be followed by a girl this time. This girl is actually the direct bloodline of the shopkeeper of Baiyao Zhai. Baiyao Zhai is as powerful as our Huichun Hall, so you try not to antagonize them. You two understand. ”

Wu Fan and Song Fei immediately nodded and replied, "Disciple understands."

A smile appeared on Mr. Liu's face, and then he said: "As you all know, every medicine shop is composed of three systems, namely, collecting medicine, practicing medicine, and selling medicine. As for practicing medicine and selling medicine, Compared with collecting herbs, the work of medicine is definitely much safer and more stable. They don't have to worry about attacks by poisonous insects and wild beasts. However, they hardly have any holidays, and they earn relatively little money. They can only collect herbs, although You are taking risks, but you will have a month's holiday after each mission, and as long as you pick enough herbs, you will earn money that no one else can envy. So since I decided to accept you as my disciple, I also After teaching you martial arts, I can only send you to the herb collection team. Only by experiencing some risks will you grow faster and hope to become a top master in the future. "

Wu Fan and Song Fei still understand what the master said. It is difficult for a warrior to improve his martial arts without experiencing some life-and-death battles and taking some risks.

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up directly, walked to Wu Fan and Song Fei, and then walked out without stopping. At the same time, he said: "Come with me, the time is almost up, let's set off to meet at the Escort Bureau. "Okay." Wu and Song quickly said yes and followed the master out.

In the courtyard of the drug store, there were about twenty big men chatting with each other, and a few laughs could be heard from time to time. A big man about forty years old with a full beard said with a smile: "Brothers, This time when we go into the mountains, we don’t want to let the people from Bai Yaozhai compete with us. We still have to cooperate with each other as before, and we must return with a full load. When we get the reward, I suggest that we all go to Baihua Tower to have a good time. , The little lady last time was really pretty."

As soon as the big man finished speaking, everyone else burst into laughter. Among them was a tall and thin man in his thirties, with a pair of small eyes and a dagger in his hand, and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, last time you were here That girl has a lot of money on her, right? I wonder what ability that little girl has that can make you linger like this."

As soon as the big man finished speaking, others laughed again.

"Brother Xu, what do you know? You have no idea what that little lady is capable of. Hehe, you will know when you go find her once you have the chance." The big man named Boss Hu replied with a smile. He didn't feel that at all. Awkward.

At this moment, an old man and two young men came over from a distance. When everyone saw it, they quickly stood up and greeted him. The leader named Hu Boss bowed to the old man and said at the same time: " Mr. Liu!" Others immediately saluted Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu raised his right hand and said at the same time: "Everyone, get up. Are you all ready?"

Everyone responded in unison: "Ready."

"Okay, then let's set off. I hope you all come back with a full load this time." After speaking, Mr. Liu turned around and walked out.

Everyone quickly followed suit.

On the way to the escort office, the group of people kept chatting and laughing, only to hear Boss Hu say: "Xiaofan, Xiaofei, it's your first time going into the mountains, are you scared?"

Boss Hu’s name is Hu Dakui. Even though he is a tall guy who always likes to joke around, people who know how powerful he is don’t dare to underestimate him. He is a genuine second-rate master. Boss Hu looks at Wu Fan, Sein Fei, etc. Growing up, he always treated the two of them as nephews.

Wu Fan and Song Fei walked up to Boss Hu, one on the left and the other on the right, and pulled his arm. Wu Fan looked at Boss Hu and laughed and said, "Uncle Hu, I'm not afraid. I can't wait to go into the mountain." "Yeah." Sein Fei next to him nodded again and again.

At this time, the big man who was called Brother Xu by Boss Hu came over and said: "Xiaofan, Xiaofei, this time we are going to the Yandang Mountains. Because this time there is a quasi-first-class master following us, so we are going there this time." It's not the small mountain ranges we often visited before. It is said that the Yandang Mountains are very dangerous and few people dare to enter them. This time we can only look for medicinal herbs in the periphery, but even in the periphery, it is not ordinary. The mountains are comparable, so finding herbs will definitely be easy.”

This brother Xu's name is Xu Kun, and he is also a first-time second-rate master. Wu and Song are usually very close to him.

Xu Kun touched Wu Fan's head and continued: "This time you two are mainly out for training. Don't act impulsively, and don't stay too far away from us. Remember?"

Wu Fan and Song Fei nodded in agreement.
