Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 6: Going into the Mountains to Search for Medicine

Si He sat on a piece of grass, thinking in his heart that he could not enter Xiaohe City, as it was still under the jurisdiction of Huixi County.

Although she was now dressed as a male beggar, she was just in case in case of any accidents.

Tomorrow she will continue walking along the official road and then follow other people to the central part.

Having made up his mind, Si He took out the last steamed bun in his arms and ate it in big mouthfuls. He decided to buy some dry food when he passed by the village tomorrow.

At this time, there was a loud noise not far away, and it seemed that a lot of people had arrived.

Si He looked towards the official road. It was the group of people she had seen on the road yesterday. She still remembered the icon hanging in front of the carriage, and this group of people was huge and impressive.

I didn't expect them to come here.

Behind these people was a long line of people fleeing famine.

When the group arrived here, they stopped, and it seemed that they were planning to rest here as well.

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the terrain is vast and there are streams, which is indeed a good place to rest.

But what Si He didn't understand was that this place was very close to the nearest city. They had horses, and if they rode quickly, they could enter the city before dark. Why should they stop here?

But soon, she knew why.

After the group set up camp here, a guard leader came over and told the refugees here something.

They need to go into the mountains to find a herb, and whoever can find it for them will be rewarded handsomely.

At the same time, they will provide food free of charge while searching for herbs.

Upon hearing this news, many refugees were excited.

This is a very good job. Even if you don’t find any herbs, you can still get some food.

In this chaotic world where people are starving and war is raging, who can find such a good job?

The guard said that he could provide two large cakes every day for five copper coins, and if the herb was found, he would reward him with one hundred gold coins.

That’s one hundred gold!

One hundred gold can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver!

For these poor refugees, it was a huge fortune.

Even if no herbs were found, a daily reward of two pancakes and five copper coins was pretty good.

Everyone present agreed to do this job. Of course, there were regulations. Children under ten years old would not receive copper coins and would only be provided with a large cake. However, if they found herbs, they would still be rewarded with one hundred gold.

Everyone had no objection to this rule. It was just a piece of cake. Kids didn’t eat much anyway.

Si He took a look at the group of refugees brought by that team. There were probably hundreds of them. Together with the refugees here, there were probably about one hundred and fifty or sixteen.

Now that everyone agreed to do the job, she had no choice but to follow suit, otherwise it would be too awkward.

Si He still had some money on her, but in order not to show off her wealth, she didn't dare to buy more dry food. She was not interested in the two large pancakes given out every day. However, the reward was good, one hundred gold was not a small amount, but she didn't expect to receive the bounty.

Receiving such a large bounty in public is not necessarily a good thing. She knows that she cannot keep the wealth by herself.

Just look for medicine. This job shouldn’t be too tiring. It’s not bad to be paid every day. She can save some money.

Not long after agreeing to the job, the guards distributed bread to everyone, one piece per person, and everyone was smiling.

Si He did not eat the cake, but wrapped it up and hid it in her pocket. This was because she had eaten steamed buns before and was not too hungry. Also, affected by what happened yesterday, she now had a psychological trauma about cakes.

As for what kind of herbs they were looking for, the guard said he would tell everyone after entering the mountain.

Si He was a little puzzled. What kind of herb was he looking for? It was so mysterious.

Moreover, why do we look for refugees in the mountains to search for medicine?

Because it's cheap? Because it's easy to recruit people?

Si He looked at the team carefully. They had obviously made sufficient preparations for this trip into the mountains to look for medicine. Each guard was equipped with armor and had excellent swords, comparable to regular troops, and they all looked quite skilled.

In addition, there was sufficient food, fodder and medicine, and more than ten carriages were filled with various supplies.

Si He scanned all the carriages, and finally, his gaze stopped on the two carriages in the middle with the most guards. At this time, a young man got out of one of the carriages. He looked like the owner of this team.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties. He was handsome, dressed in fine clothes, and had a good temperament. He must be a descendant of a prominent family.

After he got off the carriage, he just glanced at the crowd around him, then looked up at the endless Tianshan Mountains in the distance.

He had an outstanding figure. There were some young girls in the refugee crowd around him. When they saw that the leader of this group of people was such a handsome and extraordinary young man, they couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Si He also stared at the man, but not out of admiration. She just couldn't understand why noble children like them didn't need to go into the mountains to look for medicine themselves. They could just ask someone to do it. Why did they have to go into dangerous places in person?

After a while, a man got out of another carriage. He was wearing a black veil, and his face and age were unclear. He was also dressed in black and had dark gloves on his hands. His entire body was not showing any skin, and he looked very mysterious.

After the man got off the carriage, the guards around him saluted him respectfully, and even the young nobleman gave him a slight bow. This shows that this man's identity is the most honorable in the entire team.

The man just raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to bow, and then he looked up at the Tianshan Mountains not far away, but he never took off the veil on his head.

The noble young man was also standing by, talking to him with a smile on his face, and he looked as if he couldn't wait to go into the mountains.

Si He also looked towards the mountains not far away and chose to follow into the mountains to look for medicine. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong?

With a lot of questions in her mind, Si He slept a little uneasily that night.

After a night passed and the sun just rose, the guards urged them to get ready to set off.

Before setting off, the guards gave everyone two cakes and five copper coins in advance. This was the reward for today, and everyone was very satisfied with it.

Si He put away the two pieces of cake and the copper coins, and ate the cake that was distributed last night first. The cake was still so unpalatable, very dry and a little difficult to swallow. Fortunately, it was not too salty. She could only eat it with water, otherwise she really couldn't eat it.

After eating, the guards asked everyone to carry a bag of food into the mountains, because the mountain road was difficult to travel and the carriage could not enter the mountain.

Everyone had some opinions about this. They were going into the mountains to look for medicine, not to do portering. Finally, after getting the consent of the team leader, they could get three copper coins for carrying a bag of food, and the payment was made on a daily basis.

So, a group of refugees immediately rushed to grab food. Many big people took two bags, and the thinner ones took one bag. More than a hundred refugees quickly took all the supplies on the carriage. Some people even left empty-handed and did not grab anything.

Si He didn't try to rob it. She wouldn't work herself to death for three copper coins. A bag of grain was so heavy that she couldn't lift it.

After taking care of the transportation of food, everyone set off quickly. A group of people followed the team looking for medicine and headed towards the Tianshan Mountains.
