The voice of the boy named Duan was not loud, but the square was extremely quiet at this time, with only the heavy breathing of some people coming from the square.
Zuo Feng almost burst out laughing at this moment, but he still had a calm smile on his face and nodded to the young man with that surname.
But the young man named Duan was really innocent. He ignored Zuo Feng's greetings and said anxiously: "Sister, am I right? This guy has a very thorough understanding of medicinal materials. You are one of us."
As the person who knows the most about medicinal materials in this generation, you should quickly say something fair."
It wasn't that the woman named Duan didn't want to answer his brother's questions, but she herself had fallen into a sluggish state. Her brother's loud and anxious urging reached her ears, and she finally came back to her senses as if she was waking up from a dream.
However, the woman named Duan did not rush to express her position. Instead, she stared at Zuo Feng up and down with strange eyes. From her complicated expression, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking at this time.
The crowd of onlookers has remained quiet. Many of them are discerning people, and they have already seen whether Zuo Feng's answer just now is correct. However, most of them are from Tushan Town, and the mayor and others have not
When speaking, they did not dare to speak too much.
At this time, Zuo Feng looked so mysterious in the eyes of the woman named Duan. He was wearing a gray-blue coarse cloth shirt, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, and he only wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a young man.
He is a small fisherman who makes a living on the river. It is simply unbelievable how such a young man from the mountains could be related to refining medicine.
The expression on the face of the young man in white clothes and holding a fan was not much better than that of the three old men. This junior sister's expression at this time made him feel extremely inappropriate.
However, this young man was not simple either. After he realized something was wrong, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then squinted at the three gloomy-looking old men below the high platform.
Then he slowly walked to the stone table next to him, and seemed to want to say something to the woman named Duan. However, the woman named Duan noticed that he was approaching, and raised her hand to signal him not to say anything more.
After a moment of hesitation, he said: "This little brother's mastery of medicinal materials is unique among my peers. For someone with this kind of knowledge, I am very curious about you. I don't know who your little brother is."
background."
Hearing the question from the woman named Duan, the three old men had a bad feeling. However, the three of them could do nothing at this time and could only quietly observe the changes in the situation.
Seeing this situation, the young man holding the fan couldn't help but said: "Junior sister, please don't forget that we are here this time and there are things we must complete. Don't make things extraneous. The origin of this young man is unknown.
It’s better that we don’t have too much contact with them and let the two mayors and the nephew of the city lord make the decision.”
The woman in white glanced at the man holding the fan with some displeasure, and her dissatisfaction was clearly evident. For this so-called senior brother, the relationship between a junior sister and a senior brother was not at all like the relationship between a junior sister and a senior brother. It seemed that this woman had a higher seniority.
Just like a senior sister.
The beautiful woman surnamed Duan frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I naturally know what the master told me, and I don't think senior brother needs to worry about it. And whether this young man has other motives, can't I judge? Why?
, do you want to discipline me on behalf of my master now?"
After hearing this, the fan-wielding young man's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and then said: "How could it be? Junior sister's affairs are naturally decided by junior sister herself, how dare I overstep it."
When he said the last words, the young man holding the fan turned his head and looked towards Zuo Feng, with a strong warning in his eyes, as if he was saying.
'Boy, please be smarter. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will never let you go.'
Zuo Feng didn't seem to see the young man's expression. Instead, he turned around and cupped his fists at the woman named Duan and said: "Xia Sheng Feng is just a survivor of a small, declining village in Ganwei County. Come to this Linshan County It was also a coincidence. I didn’t know that the competition would be held in advance, so I signed up for the competition in this small town.”
Zuo Feng deliberately mentioned Ganwei County, because the only one Zuo Feng knew about the Xuanwu Empire was Xinjuncheng, so he could only choose to say that he was from Ganwei County.
In addition, Zuo Feng also considered that Ganwei County was probably the most chaotic place in the Xuanwu Empire. Even if he made up an identity, no one would verify it.
But just after Zuo Feng finished speaking, the young man holding the fan raised his eyebrows, looked up and down with unkind eyes, and then asked in a sinister tone: "Are you from Ganwei County? What city, what town?" ,What village?”
When these series of questions were thrown out, Zuo Feng immediately felt that something was wrong. Because there are two counties between here and Ganwei County, Zuo Feng would not think that he would meet people from Ganwei County here, even if he did. The truth must be difficult for oneself.
It wasn't until the young man holding the fan asked that Zuo Feng realized that he had missed a detail. Zuo Feng couldn't remember whether it was the woman named Duan or her younger brother who called the young man "Senior Brother Cheng" before.
It was only at this moment that Zuo Feng remembered that there was such a famous married couple in Ganwei County, and that he now had some quarrel with this married couple. But in the world, not to mention people with the same surname, even those with the same name were all compared to each other. All of them, who would have thought that this boy is also from Ganwei County.
Although Zuo Feng was a little upset in his heart, he could not see any changes on the surface, and even showed an indifferent smile.
After waiting for a while, the young man saw that Zuo Feng had not yet answered, so he impatiently planned to ask again.
But before the young man had time to speak, the woman surnamed Duan had already said: "Little brother, I see that you have a good understanding of refining medicine. I guess your level of refining medicine should not be low, right?"
The woman opened her mouth, and the young man could not continue to inquire further. Moreover, the woman's words were obviously asking about Zuo Feng's situation, but anyone could hear the praise in her words.
Zuo Feng secretly shouted "Okay" in his heart, not only because the other party helped him stop the hateful young man's questioning, but also because the woman's words confirmed Zuo Feng's introduction to the medicinal materials just now.
Feeling relaxed at this time, Zuo Feng said with a smile: "I have some knowledge and understanding of medicinal materials, and the lady's evaluation is a bit too positive. I am still trying hard to figure out how to refine medicine. I think you should also know that without a lot of money, there is no way. It will not produce excellent alchemists."
What Zuo Feng said could be described as putting his posture very low. The woman named Duan nodded slightly, very satisfied with Zuo Feng's answer.
She has seen many talented young people of Zuo Feng's age. They are not the kind of people who are arrogant and have high aspirations. Otherwise, like his younger brother, he seems to be missing a muscle in life. In front of him.
This young man looked like a fisherman on the river, but she was very pleased with him.
The woman surnamed Duan thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "I hope that my little brother can perform well in the next competition. I will pay more attention to you."
If someone had heard it without knowing it, they would have thought that there was a lot of friendship in this woman's words. But Zuo Feng, who was in the middle of the game, could see clearly that the woman named Duan's eyes were so clear that no trace of impurity could be seen, and there was no emotion at all.
Among them, his interest in himself is completely limited to his appreciation of medicine refining.
After pondering for a moment, the woman surnamed Duan turned to look at the three old men and said slowly: "This little brother has something wrong with the introduction of the four medicinal herbs. Please tell me clearly.
You can also study more.”
Zuo Feng followed the woman surnamed Duan and looked toward the high platform. At this time, the three old men's faces were red with embarrassment. The three of them looked at each other and didn't know how to answer the woman's question.
Zuo Feng's introduction just now, if recorded carefully, can be used in books on the training of general alchemy apprentices. Not to mention these three old men, even the woman named Duan and her younger brother have the same
Zuo Feng knew so thoroughly.
The boy named Duan was still sitting on the stone table at this time, and he was no less interested in Zuo Feng than his sister. Because of his excitement, his feet kept swinging in the air, and he tilted his head and looked at Zuo Feng with interest.
After hearing what his sister said, he turned around innocently and said: "Yes, yes, nephew, please tell me what this guy said is wrong. Even I don't know some of what he just said.
Let’s talk about it.”
"This, hey!"
The old city lord surnamed Lin hesitated awkwardly for a long time, but didn't say a word. The old man hesitated for a moment, then looked expectantly at the young man surnamed Cheng holding the fan. The young man immediately understood and turned around and said
: "Junior sister, why are you trying to embarrass one of us for the sake of an outsider? Junior nephew must have his own plans. We still..."
"Did I say something wrong?"
Before the young man surnamed Cheng could finish speaking, the woman surnamed Duan had already spoken coldly. After a pause, she continued: "Then I think this little brother should be qualified to advance to the next round of competition, Master Lin.
Nephew, do you think what I said is right?"
"this……"
The old man surnamed Lin wanted to answer, but he found that the other two old men around him were looking at him expectantly. Because the results of the first round of competition were presided over by the mayor, if Zuo was determined to be chosen now,
If the wind passes, the two of them will be disgraced, and it will be difficult for this Tushan Town to raise its head and be a good person in the future.
Originally, the young man surnamed Cheng wanted to open his mouth to persuade her, but when he saw the gloomy and frightening look on his junior sister's face, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
The city lord surnamed Lin hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "This young man does have a good level of mastery of medicinal materials, so let him enter the next round of selection."
As soon as these words were spoken, noisy voices suddenly rang out from the crowd, but Zuo Feng turned a deaf ear to it and turned around and walked towards the stone table that belonged to him.
