"Master, then I'm going out!"

"My good disciple, are you going to the medicine garden so early? Okay, master will see you off."

"No need, I know the way myself. Master, just have a good rest." Zheng Qiu shook the wooden box in his hand, "Master, look, I also brought lunch. I will be back in the evening."

"Well, the master will cook something delicious for you tonight."

The master asked Zheng Qiu to go to the medicine garden by the river during the day and come back every night after sunset. He was worried about his apprentice living there alone because Zheng Qiu was still too young.

"Go forward two steps at a time, carrying my little bamboo basket on my back. I set foot on the long stone road, and don't forget to bring the medicine hoe, hum hum, la la la..." Zheng Qiu sang a ditty on his lips and jumped forward.

Medicine garden by the river.

From the back mountain to the medicine garden, you have to pass through the martial arts training ground of Xunwu Sect. The training ground is on the right side of the main hall. The ground is paved with fine sand and there are some wooden figures around. When Zheng Qiu came to the martial arts training ground, he happened to meet the elder

Teaching.

I saw the elder standing in the middle of the field, holding a wooden sword in his hand, muttering something unknown. The brothers and sisters gathered in a circle, watching the elder's movements carefully, and from time to time they raised the wooden sword to follow suit.

Zheng Qiu lay down behind the wooden figure and peeked, but he didn't know that the elder seemed to be sensing something. Before Zheng Qiu had looked for a long time, the elder's eyes stared at him from a distance. Run, run. Zheng Qiu quickly turned around and held on tight.

With the rope on his back, he slid out of the martial arts training ground.

Continuing to walk along the stone road to the right peak, Zheng Qiu was thinking about the scene he just saw in his head. He could also lift a wooden sword, but why did he become so powerful?

"Hey, don't block the road." A voice interrupted Zheng Qiu's thinking.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a young man wearing brocade clothes standing on the mountain road in front of him. He had a broom in his hand.

"What are you looking at? If you want to go, go quickly." The young man had a dark face and cursed.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now." Zheng Qiu walked around the young man and left in a hurry. After walking a long way, and when no one could be seen, Zheng Qiu covered his mouth and laughed. "Hehehe, there is another teacher.

Brother was punished to sweep the mountain road, it’s really miserable.”

Not long after, Zheng Qiu arrived at the medicine garden. He entered the house and put down his backpack, and found that the house was very clean, as if someone had just cleaned it. But he didn't have much time to wonder, and after organizing the tools, he had to go to the medicine garden quickly.

Work.

There are various herbs densely arranged in the garden, some planted on the ground, some buried in the soil, and some hung on wooden shelves. Zheng Qiu stood in the yard in a daze, there were so many herbs, what should he do first?

? He looked left and right, but now there was no master around to direct him. He had to decide what to do.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, remember carefully. Every time you come with the master, where does he go first and what does he do first." Zheng Qiu closed his eyes and tried to move his brain, "Ah! That's right! Master goes to see the waterwheel first every time.

of."

Zheng Qiu slapped his forehead, threw the tools back into the basket, carried the basket on his back and headed to the river.

There is a large waterwheel two feet high by the river. It keeps turning and creaking, constantly lifting water from the river and pouring it into the ditch. The waterwheel is completely made of wood and is covered with moss. It looks like it has been there for many years. But

Zheng Qiu had never seen it broken, and he didn't know what kind of wood it was made of.

Zheng Qiu squatted by the river and stretched out his hands to wash. The water was a bit cold and there were many small fish in it. He knew that if he followed the river all the way down, he could reach his village. Last year he went down the mountain to meet his parents, and this year

I can go back again at the end of the New Year, and I will think about what good things I can bring back then.

Zheng Qiu retracted his thoughts and followed the ditch to the medicine garden to check. He kept using a small net bag to fish out the fallen leaves and weeds floating in the ditch. The medicine garden was planted with water-loving medicinal materials, so the soil needed to be kept moist and light.

The kind that can squeeze out water with just a pinch.

After cleaning the ditch, the herbs must be inspected. The herbs must not be sick or infected with insects. They must be inspected one by one, leaf by leaf. Zheng Qiu squatted on the ground and stirred the grass leaves with a small jade board.

The areas infected with insects should be carefully removed with jade scissors, and the areas with color changes should be carefully recorded. If it becomes serious in the next few days, the cause should be found quickly.

"Zheng Zhisong? Zheng Zhisong?" A girl's crisp voice came from the sky. Zheng Qiu stood up and looked up. Unexpectedly, his calves felt numb, and he fell to the ground, making his hands and pants covered with mud. What bad luck, squatting too much

It’s been a long time.

A girl in a brocade dress stepped on the stream of light and landed outside the medicine garden. The light cyan stream of light turned and fell on the girl's hand. The halo disappeared, revealing a crescent-shaped semicircular metal ring.

"Where is Zheng Zhisong? Isn't he here?"

Zheng Qiu got up and wiped his muddy hands on his clothes: "Senior sister, master is not here. You can go to the back yam house to find him."

"I've been to the back mountain, but he's not here either. I'm wondering, where did this old man go?"

"Um, senior sister, senior sister, do you have anything to do with the master?"

"Of course, I'm looking for him..." The girl seemed to have thought of something, "Wait, you called him master, are you the medicine boy?"

"Well, I am his apprentice and have been with the master for three years."

"I see, I don't come back to the clan often and don't recognize you." The girl took the silk bag wrapped around her waist, "There are three Yiluo flowers and six Yiluo flower seeds in it. Can you plant them?"

"Well, I know how to plant. My master taught me."

"Are you sure you know how to grow it? This flower is very rare."

"Yes! I can plant it." Zheng Qiu nodded, his tone more affirmative than the first time.

"Well, I'll let you plant it and send it to the Yundian Palace when it's mature."

Zheng Qiu raised his head and took a closer look. This senior sister was much taller than him. Zheng Qiu's head only reached her elbows. Her face was covered with a veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Okay." Zheng Qiu agreed and leaned over to take the silk bag, but the girl took a step back. Zheng Qiu looked down at his dirty hands, retracted and smiled awkwardly.

The girl frowned and threw the silk bag into Zheng Qiu's arms, waved the metal ring, and set up the streamer to fly into the sky.

"Goodbye, senior sister, I will plant the flowers." Zheng Qiu waved to the sky and ran to the river to wash the mud. After washing his hands, Zheng Qiu fetched a basin of water from the river and carried the basin to the medicine store.

Under the wooden frame of the garden.

Untie the string of the silk bag, and three small purple-red flowers are revealed inside. The flowers are very small, only as big as the nail of your little finger. But the smell is very strong, and the fragrance hits your face, and the smell makes people feel a little crispy. This is

The Yiluo flower that his master had taught him to grow was said to have many uses. Zheng Qiu only knew that it could be used when cultivators achieve breakthroughs.

Zheng Qiu took out the Yiluo flower and found that the leaves were all rolled up and the petals were drooping. It seemed that it had been picked for a long time. He quickly put the flower into the water and soaked it to let the flower absorb the water.

After soaking for a while, the leaves stretched a little. He took out one and looked at the flowers. He found that most of the roots were torn off. This senior sister was really careless. It would be even harder for her to plant the flowers.

Zheng Qiu took the jade scissors, selected three relatively thick medicinal vines, and cut a small opening close to the ground. Then he stuffed the main stem of the Yiluo flower into it, and at the same time, wrapped the roots of the Yiluo flower hanging outside around the medicine vine.

On the vine.

The master said that the Yiluo flower grows on the cliffs, and the place where the flower roots are rooted must be the place where the spiritual springs gather on the mountain wall. If you want to plant it in the medicine garden, you can only rely on other herbs to support its growth. The most beautiful place in the medicine garden is

The vine suitable for growing yello flowers is used for making Ningshen incense. The incense vine is not delicate and easy to maintain. The only drawback is that it grows too slowly.

Looking through the silk bag, there are still six small lavender beans inside, which should be the seeds of the Elo flower.

Zheng Qiu scratched his head. The master only taught him how to grow crops, not how to plant seeds. No, you can't just try such precious things by yourself. It would be better to wait until you go back in the evening and ask the master. Thinking of this, Zheng Qiu
