At the door of the medicine collection hall, a young man in a yellow shirt stood as a doorkeeper, with his hands crossed over his chest, looking at the people in the rivers and lakes coming and going on the street with a proud face. Because of the leading wealthy and powerful family in Zhuqi County, and because of the revered status of the Medicine King Gang in the entire Pingzhou territory, even the arrogance on their faces of these gatekeepers is seven points higher than that of other small gang gatekeepers.

Those county officials who roamed the countryside couldn't even fart in front of them, the janitors. Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes do not dare to spread wild on the territory of the medicine collection hall.

Ye Qin saw that they were imposing, where did he dare to go over and ask about the recruitment of medicine picking boys. He took the big cow and hid in a corner of the street, and cautiously looked into the big mining medicine hall at the gate of the mansion, wanting to see if it was recruiting medicine pickers.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar donkey cart parked at the side door of the medicine collection hall.

The old squire was taking his little fat son to talk to a person who looked like the head of the medicine collection hall, took out a full money bag from the donkey cart and stuffed it, and said with a charming face: "Manager Zhang, the children's affairs, please leave it to you! ”

At this time, the old squire, where can you still see a little bit of dominance in the countryside.

The big manager glanced at the silver color exposed at the corner of the bag, and weighed the weight of the money bag, which was heavy, and it was estimated that there were no more than two hundred silver leaves. Replace it with gold leaves, that is, just one or two gold leaves. One silver leaf can be exchanged for a hundred copper plates.

Manager Zhang's eyes showed disappointment, and he said without being salty or indifferent: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! The old man will take proper care of one or two and don't let him make any mistakes." However, whether you can join the medicine collection hall and become a medicine picking boy depends on the creation of your kid, in fact, if the money is enough, add ten times, and directly send your kid into the inner hall to become a medicine boy in the inner hall, which is the best. The old man, the chief manager, is also the best thing to say. ”

The old squire was very embarrassed, he was a small landlord with hundreds of acres of barren and thin fields, where did he get so much money? It was not easy to scrape together one or two hundred silver leaves. Moreover, this year's harvest is not good, and there is a shortage of money. If it weren't for the fact that he had a son in his sixties and seventies, loved him so much, and wanted to give his son a good future, he would not have spent this money to send his son to the medicine collection hall of the wealthy family in Zhuqi County.

The poor old squire didn't think about the difference between the inner hall and the outer hall of the medicine collection hall at all, and whether his son could endure the suffering of the medicine picking boy in the outer hall. The money was destined to be spent.

Seeing the old squire's embarrassed face, Manager Zhang also knew that he couldn't come up with more money, so he impatiently accepted the money and silver, and directly took the fat boy into the medicine collection hall from the side door. And the old squire craned his neck happily to see his son follow Mr. Zhang into the mansion, and then drove away in the donkey cart.

Within half an hour, at least a dozen more children aged ** ten years old were sent to the medicine collection hall by some civilians in the city. However, they all entered the medicine hall through the main entrance, and did not go through the side door like the son of the old squire.

Ye Qin was sure that the Medicine Picking Hall was indeed recruiting, and there were a lot of recruits. The two janitors barely asked about the children's origins and let them in. As for the adults, they were all blocked from the house and were not allowed to enter.

Ye Qin saw that the sky was a little dark, and it would be a little late if he didn't go.

He strengthened his courage, pulled the big bull, and cringed to the two janitors, not daring to look up, but said, "This~here, isn't it~ recruiting medicine boys?"

The two yellow-shirted gatekeepers laughed loudly and looked at the two of them with contempt, "Ha, the two little beggars actually came to be the medicine picking boys? When our medicine collection hall is a beggar's nest?" "Get out of the way, don't dirty the steps of the medicine collection hall!" The two gatekeepers were probably afraid of soiling their hands, and they were even unwilling to use their hands to drive them away.

Before they finished laughing, a man in green clothes in his forties walked out slowly from inside, and swept in front of the mansion with cold eyes.

The laughter of the two gatekeepers stopped abruptly and hurriedly bowed their hands. "Pharmacist Wang, why did you come out!" "Just look at the two of us here, I don't know what you always command?!"

Pharmacist Wang Cai put his hands behind his back and snorted.

"Don't you know the rules of my medicine collection hall? I recruit medicine picking boys in my medicine collection hall, never regardless of their origins, as long as they come, they will recruit. What are you two doing, driving the boys out of the country?"

The two gatekeepers were suddenly drenched in cold sweat, and they didn't dare to defend themselves, but they just begged for mercy.

In the medicine collection hall, the status is very hierarchical.

The status of the pharmacist is extremely high, and there are only dozens of people in the entire medicine collection hall. It's not two janitors who can afford to offend.

Pharmacist Wang Cai didn't look at them either, and said, "Bring these two little guys in and prepare for tomorrow's drug test!"

"Yes, yes!"

The two gatekeepers got the order, and they couldn't care about the dirty smell on the two little beggars, so they hurriedly picked one up, grabbed Ye Qin and Da Niu's necks respectively, and strode towards the door of the medicine collection hall.

Ye Qin was stunned, and he didn't know what was going on. However, he heard clearly that this Wang Yao Picker was going to accept them, so he didn't struggle. The big cow was even more frightened and didn't dare to move, and was carried by the neck.

"Wait a minute!"

Pharmacist Wang suddenly discovered something and drank them.

The two gatekeepers stopped, at a loss, not knowing why Pharmacist Wang Cai told them to stop again.

Pharmacist Wang Cai came to Da Niu and glanced indifferently at the two holes in Da Niu's calf.

"The hamstring should have been bitten by a wild dog, and it is inconvenient to walk, and it will probably be a useless waste in the future, and it will be lost!

The two gatekeepers immediately came to their senses and secretly admired Wang Cai's eyesight. One of them hurriedly threw the little beggar with an injured calf outside, and the other carried Ye Qin inside.

Ye Qin didn't expect this sudden change at all, he and Da Niu were separated, and he was suddenly in a hurry, struggling and screaming, he couldn't care about anything, and kicked the doorkeeper knife hand with his foot, trying to break free.

The doorkeeper was not easy, ignoring his kicking, the eagle grabbed a chicken and carried it on his back, entered the gate of the medicine collection hall, and ran to the depths of the courtyard.

Ye Qin shouted almost in despair, "Da Niu, don't go, wait for me!"

"Brother Qin!"

Cheng Da Niu was thrown out of the gate of the medicine collection hall, crying and struggling, but he didn't dare to approach the gate in the slightest under the cold gaze of the gatekeeper. He wandered around the mansion all night, knowing that he would never see Ye Qin again, and finally limped away, not knowing where to go. Two fellow villagers were separated, one in the medicine collection hall and the other outside the medicine collection hall.

Ye Qin kicked and made trouble, and was carried by the doorkeeper knifeman, and he didn't know where to run to the medicine collection hall, and was thrown into a small courtyard, and then threw it away and locked the small courtyard again.

There are also knife hands watching at the gate of the small courtyard.

Ye Qin got up from the ground and was about to find a way to escape, but when he saw the situation in the small courtyard, he was stunned.

In this small courtyard, there are already hundreds of children between the ages of seven and twelve, both male and female. Divided into dozens of groups, they gathered together. Judging from the clothing, the children here are all from wealthy families in the countryside, commoners from the county, or children from poor backgrounds in the countryside.

They looked at Ye Qin strangely one by one. In their eyes, the gatekeeper of the Medicine Picking Hall is already very status. What kind of characters do they need to carry on their backs?

Ye Qin had never gotten along with so many strange children, so he shrank back and slowly dodged into a corner, trying to avoid attracting the attention of other children.

Suddenly, a fat child in the crowd, his eyes widened in disbelief, pointed at Ye Qin and shouted in horror, "Aren't you the kid on the street? How did you get in? Can someone like you come here?"
