Chapter 5

At night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the fourth girl looked at the bright night sky without words. She felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

Si Yatou was originally the daughter of an Orion family in the surrounding villages of Zhuxi Town. She was the fourth eldest in the family. Six months ago, Zhuxi Town encountered locusts and the family had no grain harvest.

In the continuous drought, the wheat seedlings in the field withered and died.

As a last resort, in order to relieve the pressure of food rations at home, she went out to beg for food with several brothers and sisters, but unfortunately got lost in the middle.

When she returned to the village, the house was already in ruins and a mess.

In the face of difficulties, the fourth girl never thought of retreating. In the troubled times, she could not retreat. She missed the days when her family was around.

At that time, the family was poor and often couldn't eat hot meals, but my parents were always at the forefront, and there was someone to rely on.

After leaving her parents, she felt the world's malice towards her, and it was even more difficult to eat a meal. When will such a day be the end.

But people have to learn to face the reality, take one step at a time.

and,

Si Yatou looked at Er Niu beside her. This was her friend from the same village. She said she would take care of Er Niu. If she died, Er Niu would not be able to survive in this malicious world.

"I heard that Zhao's drug store is recruiting some kind of apprentices. I happen to be 15 years old this year, and Er Niu is 14 years old. I don't know if the two of us can do it. Let's try our luck tomorrow, or we will starve to death in the wild one day."

Qingshan Town covers an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers, and it got its name because of a large mountain in the territory.

The food production in this place is not high, and it is also affected by the locust plague, but it is adjacent to the state capital, and it is close to the water. If the imperial court has any relief supplies, at least it will not forget this place.

Similarly, dragons and snakes are mixed here, there are families of warriors, local gangs, government officials, and more ordinary people.

The net shop is very large, and the hands on it don't dare to be greedy for too much ink.

The herbs in Qingshan Town are well-known throughout Pingcheng Prefecture, and the roads extend in all directions, making it easy to transport them to all parts of the country.

Every time the imperial court launches a war, it will come to Pingcheng Mansion to mobilize forces and gather supplies, especially herbs, which are necessary for war.

Of course, there is also a lot of support from the imperial court every year, and the pharmaceutical industry is developing rapidly.

Looking at the high city wall and the stream of people, the fourth girl suddenly became a little nervous.

This year's catastrophe did not reduce the number of migrants coming to Qingshan Town, but more. Horse-drawn carriages came in and out of the city gate. , so lively, but more of them are refugees fleeing famine.

"Be careful, Er Niu!" The fourth girl hurriedly pushed Er Niu away.

At this time, an ox cart suddenly came flying from behind, its bells were jingling, and it was about to hit the two of them, but the woman driving the cart still turned a blind eye.

"Pooh!"

A little fat girl was sitting on the bullock cart, she spit on the fourth girl and shouted:

"I hit it, this time I hit it! Mom, I hit two mangy puppies!"

Si Yatou's face became angry, and then quickly lowered her head, afraid that the woman would see her face.

She was angry, but anger was useless.

For such a landed gentry, she could not afford to be provoked by a beggar. She believed that if the woman got out of the car at this time, no one would take care of them if they were beaten to death on the street.

In the countryside, this kind of land gentry is the most hateful. I used to go hunting with my mother, and my mother would always tell her examples of those land gentry oppressing the people.

The woman turned her head and smiled, as if she was praising the little fat girl, the ox cart drove fast, and entered the city in a blink of an eye.

The guards who defended the city did not stop them.

"Er Niu, let's go, swallow this breath, I will become a strong man who will shock the world in the future, no one will dare to bully us again, I will protect you well, I swear."

Si Yatou firmly grasped Er Niu's shoulders, and the two walked towards the city.

The guards guarding the city are all down-and-out women, wearing gray robes, but compared to the torn sacks on the two of them, I don't know how much better they are.

They didn't even look at the two of them, and they knew that they wouldn't get any interest from the two beggars.

But after arriving in the city, the two lost their way immediately. The roads lead in all directions, and they didn't know where to go.

Fortunately, I walked in the direction with the most people, and I saw a long queue of people from a long distance away. I asked the people around me, and it turned out that Zhao's drugstore was recruiting people.

These people are all here to line up.

"Stand up! Stand up! Regardless of gender, as long as you are under 15 years old and in good health, you are eligible!"

The four girls also lined up, and after waiting for a long time, they suddenly saw a way out from the crowd.

A sedan chair slowly approached, and it was carried by four young and strong women. The muscular outline was extremely big, and it looked like a warrior.

"What kind of big man is here!"

"I don't know, don't get in the way. Otherwise, there will be trouble again!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"Stop!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoyu lifted the curtain, slowly got off the sedan chair, glanced at the door number and walked into the pharmacy.

……

"Beep! Beep! Warning! The appearance of the real heroine Long Mingfei has been detected! Warning!"

"What, Long Mingfei!" Zhao Wuyou, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up and was very excited. It was the first time in more than ten years that he received such a loud reminder from the system.

Lifting the dimensional curtain, Zhao Wuyou swept around suspiciously, surrounded by normal people, there was no one who looked like the heroine.

"Xiaocha, where is Long Mingfei?"

"Beep! I am assisting the host to lock the true heroine!"

"is her?"

Zhao Wuyou received a prompt from the green tea system, and locked his eyes on a girl covered in a torn sack.

That girl gave Zhao Wuyou the impression that she was thin, skinny and lacking in nutrition.

The other party seemed to be peeking at her, feeling Zhao Wuyou's gaze, she carefully turned her head away.

She is Long Mingfei?No!
