After a while, a young man wearing a thick cotton coat and bulky cotton trousers ran over. He wore a red woolen hat on his head. It looked like a female model, but now was not the time to be particular. The young man sniffed and asked:

"Uncle Cui, what's the matter?"

"Guard the stall for me, and I'll show the customers the goods."

"okay!"

The young man must be familiar with the stall owner, so he immediately agreed and sat in the seat in front of the man.

The man named Uncle Cui walked out of the trading market with Lianyi and his party. He hid the half bag of grain in his arms, and he couldn't see it anyway because of his thick clothes.

"Brother Cui, where do your herbs come from?"

Lianyi inquired directly.

“There was a flood where we lived before, so everyone hid on the top floor and built a shed on the top floor to survive. One day, a tractor-trailer truck was brought to our site by the water.

Everyone still had some food in their hands at that time, but they didn't know when the heavy rain would end, so they stopped the trailer truck and opened it to see that it was full of Chinese herbal medicines, some of which were Chinese patent medicines and some of which were herbal medicines.

Although it is not food, the medicine is also valuable. It is because of those Chinese patent medicines that we exchanged medicine for food and survived until the rainy season, and then joined another office building that was not completely flooded.

But no one knew how to prepare the herbs, so the last ones were left. The temporary settlement site opened a trading market, so we wanted to try our luck.

This herbal medicine is just medicine in the hands of knowledgeable people, but it is useless in our hands. I think this elder brother understands traditional Chinese medicine. You are right to switch it back and it will be of great use. "

The man immediately recommended.

"I heard that this herb has been soaked in water. Does it still have medicinal properties?"

Ripple asked lightly.

The man's steps paused, his body became a little stiff, and then he explained:
"We dried all the herbs after the rain stopped. The medicinal properties should not be lost. You will know just by looking at them."

Lianyi didn't say anything, but just winked at Liu Zili, who immediately nodded to express that he understood.

"just in front."

The man said no more and led people into a courtyard. The four of them attracted the attention of the residents in the office building. The people living here were all people whose houses were flooded. After all, the office building was high, even if it submerged ten people below. There are more than ten floors that can be occupied by people.

This time, Sun Weifeng took the lead, Zhao Jia was second, Liu Zili was third, and Lianyi was behind. After all, we were on someone else's territory, so it was better to be careful.

"Brother Cui, are you back? Have you found a buyer?"

A middle-aged woman spoke to the man leading the way.

"Well, people have to look at the product and replace it if it's usable. If it doesn't have medicinal properties, they won't replace it."

The man told the truth and did not stop. He led the four people into a room, passed through the open office hall, and then entered the innermost office.

During this period, everyone living in the open office cast longing glances at the four of them. They were really hungry!If that pile of grass can be exchanged for food, even if it is a small amount, there will always be something to eat. It is very cold to keep out the cold. Even if the fire is lit, it feels like the cold wind is blowing everywhere.

A group of four people entered the office inside. Looking at the herbs piled randomly, Liu Zili's distressed lips trembled:
"Ouch! How can this... this... be piled up like this! This is really a waste of good things!"

"Brother Liu, go take a look and pick out the usable ones. Forget about the ones that have no medicinal properties. We are not taken advantage of."

Ripple said directly.

"Okay, I'll go pick it up right now."

Liu Zili rolled up his sleeves and started picking herbs from the door. He kept clicking his tongue.

The man touched his nose helplessly. No one in their building knew about herbal medicine.

"Brother Cui, find some bags so we can put our things in!"

Zhao Jia said to the man.

"okay!"

The man immediately agreed. This was what he wanted to exchange. He immediately turned around and went out to find the bag. People outside immediately gathered around. When they heard that the pile of moldy grass could really be exchanged for food, they immediately began to search for the bag, looking forward to this. The gang can turn all the grass into grain.

At this time, Sun Weifeng approached Lianyi and lowered his voice and said: "When we left the market just now, we were targeted by someone. It was probably the helpers found by those three people."

"I know! It's not the whirlwind that covets me!"

Ripple said very firmly, not forgetting to rub Xuanfeng's head.

"...Probably they also fancy that we have food on them."

Sun Weifeng continued, and he stopped talking about the whirlwind.

"Don't worry, try to replace the food we bring with herbal medicine. If they want to intercept them, stop them. We will accompany them to the end. Whoever has the biggest fist will listen to them now."

Ripple said calmly.

Four hours later, Liu Zili picked out four sacks of usable herbs. He looked at the remaining moldy and hairy herbs and sighed with regret. The quality of this batch of herbs was very good, and they were just wasted.

"Brother Liu, can you pick out some more?"

Zhao Jia asked.

"I tried my best, but I can only pick out these, and when I go back, I have to do secondary processing."

Liu Zili told the truth.

"Guys, I also have a set of surgical equipment here, do you want it? We also salvaged it with the car."

When the man saw that the other party only picked four sacks of herbs in a room full of herbs, he was obviously a little anxious and said immediately.

"Okay, let's take a look."

"Hey! Wait a moment!"

The man went out and came in carrying a box made by Lu. After opening it, he pushed it in front of Liu Zili.

"This is a set of portable surgical supplies, more than enough for minor surgeries."

Liu Zili said after reading it.

"Okay, let's change them together."

Ripple waved his hand.

Several people took out the food on their backs, including rice, flour, corn flour, and soybeans. The items were quite miscellaneous, but they managed to collect twenty kilograms and handed them to the man.

"How many of you, can you add some more? This is really too little."

The man said while rubbing his hands.

"Brother, just be content with what you're doing! We're the only ones who understand Chinese medicine to trade a pile of useless grass for food. Others won't be so generous."

Sun Weifeng showed his white teeth, patted the man on the shoulder and said.

"Alright!"

The other party finally compromised, after all, what they said was right.

After collecting the food, the man sent Lianyi and his party out of their territory, and then hurried back to the office building.

The four people tied up the four sacks of herbs and put them on the cart, then slowly dragged them back. After leaving the office building, the four of them were surrounded by a group of people. The scratched girl Xiaoxiao.

"Brother Qiang, they hurt me and stole my cat. You must seek justice for me."

The man called Brother Qiang was short and fat, but with a bulging waist, he looked like he was hiding something. He glanced at the four people, showed his big yellow teeth, and said very arrogantly:

"Join my team and let me forget the past!"

"Brother Qiang!"

Xiaoxiao was obviously unwilling, but Brother Qiang just glanced at him and shut up. (End of chapter)
