Chapter 6: Collecting Herbs at Qingfeng Mountain
Early the next morning.
A burst of rapid gong sounds came over.
Many servants climbed up from the big bunk bed.
The sound of the gong is the signal for the servants to assemble.
If you fail to arrive at the errand square at the specified time, you will be punished by the steward.
At the very least, they would be scolded, and at the worst, they would be severely beaten.
A few minutes later, all the servants arrived at the servants' square.
Soon after Qin Feng and others arrived, kitchen helpers came and distributed packages to them.
Inside the package was a pot of water and seven large loaves of bread.
This is the food that Qin Feng and other servants eat in the mountains.
However, to receive these foods, you must pay five cents.
"Humph, even the food you bring to the mountains to collect herbs costs money!"
Zhang Han seemed very dissatisfied.
Originally his monthly salary was only one hundred coins.
If you go up the mountain to collect herbs twice a month, you will lose ten cents.
Plus the money for buying sesame oil.
At the end of the month, he couldn't save much money at all.
After the kitchen helpers distributed the food, everyone went to the warehouse to collect the medicine baskets and medicine hoes.
Ten minutes later, the guards led more than a thousand servants and marched out of the city in a mighty procession.
The leading guard captain was named Jiang Yong, a ninth-rank warrior.
He held a steel knife in his hand and a black pot hung on his waist.
Qin Feng recognized the black pot at a glance. It was exactly the same as the one he bought from Butcher Zhang.
"It seems that there really might be a lantern ghost on the mountain!"
Qin Feng's heart was filled with gratitude.
Fortunately, he listened to Huang Quan's advice and bought a pot of pig blood.
The team moved very quickly. In just over half an hour, they arrived at the camp more than ten miles away from Yongkang County.
These servants were driven into Qingfeng Mountain before they even entered the camp.
Qin Feng carried the medicine basket on his back and held the medicine hoe and headed towards Qingfeng Mountain.
After achieving some success in the Tiger Fist, Qin Feng felt that his physical condition had improved significantly.
When he was collecting herbs in the past, he would be out of breath after just climbing for a few minutes.
Now he has been climbing for more than ten minutes and is still in very good spirits.
Moreover, his alertness was slightly improved.
There were some poisonous snakes and centipedes hiding in the dark, and they were all discovered by Qin Feng.
However, although there are many poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, and centipedes, not many servants will die from them.
But what is really fatal is the strange things that happen during the day.
Qin Feng walked and stopped along the way, and soon came to a rock.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen medicinal herbs in his medicine box.
The task of these menial workers in the medicine shop is to pick one hundred medicinal herbs within three days.
If you fail to pick 100 herbs within three days, at best you will be deducted copper coins.
In serious cases, the offender will be severely beaten.
Qin Feng sat on the rock, ate a piece of cake, and then began to practice Tiger Fist in front of the rock.
The task of collecting herbs is not very heavy.
With Qin Feng's current physical strength, it only takes two days to successfully collect one hundred medicinal herbs.
Qin Feng planned to use the extra time to practice the Tiger Fist here.
Only when his strength is improved can Qin Feng become a guard.
Then get married, extract entries, and further strengthen yourself.
Time passed slowly and several hours went by.
The sun has already set.
Qin Feng quickly finished his work and looked at his attribute panel.
[Tiger Fist: Minor Achievement: 30/500 Use form as fist, mind as spirit, Qi as power, attack fiercely]
"An increase of thirty!"
"The sun is about to set, let's go back quickly!"
Qin Feng quickly picked up the medicine bag and walked down the mountain.
"Woo woo woo"
Just at this moment, a humming sound was heard.
"kindness?"
Qin Feng was slightly stunned and quickly looked behind him.
At this moment, a red lantern slowly floated towards Qin Feng.
"Lantern Ghost!"
Qin Feng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that he would encounter a lantern ghost on the first day of entering the mountains to collect herbs.
But Qin Feng soon calmed down.
Qin Feng is very familiar with the habits of the Lantern Ghost.
Likes to suck pig blood.
As long as there is pig blood, they will stop and suck it.
Qin Feng carefully opened the pot on his body, poured a small half of the pig's blood in the pot onto the ground, and then carefully retreated to the back.
The lantern ghost that was flying towards Qin Feng was suddenly attracted by the pig blood and flew quickly towards the pig blood on the ground.
When it arrived above the pig's blood, it stopped above the pig's blood.
The fire in the lantern flickered, as if it was very happy.
Qin Feng let out a long sigh and ran quickly downwards.
Along the way, Qin Feng did not encounter any danger and returned to the camp safely.
Qin Feng handed the several herbs in his hand to the manager.
The manager's name is Liu Cheng, and he is the person in charge of their herb collection this time.
The moment he saw Qin Feng, his eyes widened.
"Fifteen medicinal herbs?"
Liu Cheng's face looked very bad.
"I'm unlucky today. I didn't come across any medicinal herbs!"
Qin Feng replied quickly.
"Humph, if you can't collect a hundred herbs within three days, forget about this month's salary!"
Liu Cheng snorted heavily.
Qin Feng nodded repeatedly and then stepped out.
"Strange, didn't this person die a month ago?"
"Did something happen last time?"
Liu Cheng looked at Qin Feng's back as he walked away, his face full of confusion.
The camp at the foot of Breeze Mountain has been built for many years.
All the rooms and warehouses are made of wood.
The guards and managers all lived in the medicinal materials warehouse.
There is a small formation inside this warehouse. Ordinary monsters will not appear in the warehouse at all.
All of these servants lived in the wooden rooms outside, which was extremely crowded.
At night, we also have to deal with the strange things that happen.
"I'm lucky today. I picked more than 40 herbs!"
"I'm unlucky, there are only a dozen or so!"
"Several more people haven't come back yet, and we don't know what happened to them!"
"Every time we go into the mountains to collect herbs, more than a dozen people die! " "I don't know why there are so many weird things!"
“…”
Inside the room, many servants were eating pancakes and talking in low voices.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Soon after, bursts of drum sounds came from outside.
"Here comes the drummer!"
"Put the sesame oil on it quickly!"
Many of the servants stopped talking.
The servant at the door quickly placed the incense oil outside the gate.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
After a few minutes, the drummer gradually went away.
“Ahhh!”
Not long after, bursts of screams came from not far away.
The expressions of Zhang Han, Hu Qingfu and others changed slightly.
Qin Feng's face was full of doubt.
How come there are servants who died at the hands of drummers? (End of this chapter)
