Ye Qin was in the middle of the group of children, silently looking at the big manager on the stage. He felt a little familiar, and if he looked closely, wasn't it the manager Zhang Da who received the old squire's money bag that he saw at the side door of the medicine collection hall mansion yesterday?!

Ye Qin looked at the little fat man from a distance, and secretly said in his heart, I don't know how this big manager will take care of this little fat man.

Ye Qin also very much hopes to become a medicine picker and live a worry-free life, but he will never be stupid enough to take the lead to sign this life and death contract. He wanted to see what the test was all about.

The other children were also a little suspicious and did not dare to try it easily.

The little fat man was very bold, and he was the first to take the initiative to run over, "I'll come, I'll be the first to test the medicine." "Relying on his father once gave Mr. Zhang money, he was not afraid of this test at all.

Soon, several other squire's children also ran out to make the first batch of children to test the medicine.

Manager Zhang saw that only a few people answered, and more than half of them were missing. He was not in a hurry, and said with a smile that whoever went to the wooden house to test the medicine in advance would be rewarded with a fragrant big chicken leg directly after the work was done.

As soon as this temptation came out, dozens of children immediately came out to try the medicine. For these children from poor backgrounds, a chicken leg is enough to tempt them to take risks.

Chief Zhang ordered five or six of them, and asked them to press the life and death contract with the children of the squire, and then let them go into the cabin to test the medicine.

The cabins are half-closed and half-open, and a middle-aged man sits in each cabin to supervise the drug test.

Ten children entered the cabin and, under the supervision of the middle-aged men, ate something into their mouths.

The hundreds of children outside could see a little bit of the situation inside from a distance, but they couldn't see it too clearly. They all craned their necks and waited with bated breath.

The process of testing the drug is a bit long.

For the first quarter of an hour, there was no reaction in the ten cabins, which made people secretly anxious.

It wasn't until half an hour later that suddenly a terrible sound came from one of the cabins. The child in the hut ran out frantically, foaming at the mouth, his whole body faintly red, and screaming, "Help, help me!"

However, the boys and girls had indifferent expressions, and none of them had any intention of saving people.

Hundreds of children were shocked in a daze, and they all looked at Manager Zhang on the high platform, expecting him to save people.

The chief manager sat firmly on the stage with a smile, holding a large green bamboo pipe, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, and said lightly: "The drug test is purely voluntary, and life and death have nothing to do with others! Those who are poisoned by less than nine plants do not belong to the children who collect medicine in this sect, and even if they are poisoned, no one will save them." If you eat enough to eat more than nine plants, you can only be saved if you become a medicine picker in your own door. ”

The frothing child fell to the ground with a thud under the noses of everyone. But instead of dying immediately, there was a convulsion.

The hundreds of children on the field, even the bold little boys, were shivering, and their hairs stood on end in shock. And those little girls turned pale and cried with fright. They have already understood that this test medicine will kill people, and the death is terrifying.

In less than an hour, four more children in the small cabin ran out in terror and collapsed on the grounds. The poison in them varies. Some of them can't see anything on the surface, but their whole body is extremely itchy, and they almost rot when they scratch them. Some are overgrown with red beans, suppurated, sores, and smelly. There was also a little girl who staggered out of the cabin, and without saying a word, she spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground without any soft breath.

Ye Qin looked blankly, at least half of the hundreds of children on the field were crying in fright, and a small half were scared to urine, and the remaining ten or so bold children were also at a loss like him. A few children wanted to escape, but they were caught by the brocade-clothed teenagers who were watching around, and they were beaten in public, and they cried and cried for their mothers.

In the morning, the first batch of 10 children came out.

One of the poor children died of poison, and was directly carried to a mass grave in the wilderness more than ten miles outside the county seat by General Manager Zhang. Four of them were poisoned but did not die, and were driven out of the house, if they could find a doctor in time for treatment, they might be able to get away with it. There were also three who were slightly poisoned, although there was no major problem, but they also lost their qualifications to join the medicine collection hall, and they were all driven out of the house.

The little fat man, whose face was full of speckles from the poison, was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, his eyes were glazed, and he opened his mouth and shouted indiscriminately, "Dad~, Dad, where are you?", it seems that he is only afraid that he is not far from being scared stupid.

Ye Qin noticed that Manager Zhang suddenly made a move, stuffed a small pill into the little fat man's mouth, and then ordered several brocade-clothed young men to send the little fat man away. It seems that the bag of silver leaves given by the old squire still has some effect.

Ye Qin was a little annoyed, he was thinking about how to beat this little fat man who spit on him in the future, but he didn't expect to be driven away so quickly.

Those unsuccessful children who were kicked out of the house were all given gag orders by the young men in brocade clothes, and if they dared to mention the matter of testing the medicine in the medicine collection hall to outsiders, then they would directly come to the door to "visit" their whole family and give their home some color. The children who were kicked out were silent, and they didn't dare to agree, but just nodded, promising not to mention to anyone about the medicine testing in the medicine collection hall.

In the first batch of ten people, only one passed. It was a twelve-year-old civilian boy who ate ten herbs and barely survived the drug test, and was officially included in the ranks of the medicine picking boys in the medicine collection hall, and was rewarded with a chicken leg. The boy who had passed the test was pale, his legs were limp, and his whole body was trembling - not because he was poisoned, but because he was overly frightened.

In the afternoon, continue to test the drug. This time, no child was willing to go to it, and everyone knew that it was simply playing with their lives, let alone a chicken leg, and it would not work for a whole fat chicken. They were crying and leaving.

Manager Zhang sneered, the door of the medicine collection hall is easy to come in, but it is difficult to get out.

He winked at the teenagers.

Those brocade-clothed young men comprehended, and immediately flew into the group of children, and with quick dexterity, they directly grabbed ten children out, escorted them to the high platform, grabbed their hands, forcibly pressed down the bright red handprints of the life and death contract, and sent them to the cabin where the medicine was tested.

Ye Qin had wandered and begged all over the county for more than half a year, and he had long realized the sinister nature of people's hearts and learned to observe words and feelings. He had been staring at the big boss and the faces of the teenagers, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately shrank back and hid among the hundreds of children, avoiding the teenagers who were grabbing people in time.

His face turned pale. In terms of courage, his courage can be said to be a small group of the largest among hundreds of children. But in the face of these brocade-clothed young men with martial arts, he was only dumbfounded, so he could only find a way to hide in the depths of the children's group and try to avoid being caught.
