  The First Watch

  The current ranking is still okay, but there are pursuers in front and fierce tigers behind, it's terrifying! No choice, today I'll grit my teeth and go all out at 3 am, let's do this!! Everyone, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, add oil to the fire and charge forward! Let's see how far we can rush with our full strength, what ranking can we reach!!!!

  "Y..." Li Le only made this sound, his mouth wide open, a finger tentatively pointing towards the door. There, standing at the entrance, was none other than the famous Sang Hongyun, and behind him, following closely, was the equally renowned Zhao Qing.

  Two tall figures appeared in such a small and pitiful pharmacy, the contrast was too strong.

  "Li Le, what are you doing? Receiving guests." Xiao Hong was still reading a book, heard Li Le say a word, and then there was no movement, opening his mouth to speak.

  Li Le did not respond.

  At this time, Xiao Hong also felt a sense of unease, slightly raised his head, and as the figure of Sang Hongyun entered Xiao Hong's line of sight, Xiao Hong's expression involuntarily changed.

  What is he doing here? This was Xiao Hong's first reaction, and then he slightly stood up, with a calm expression that carried a hint of subtle vigilance.

  She glanced at Xiao Hong in front of the counter, and unlike others, he didn't have a humble and condescending appearance, which made Sang Hongyun appreciate him somewhat.

  As he stepped into the hall, he took a subtle glance around and saw that Sang Hongyun's face had a hint of relaxation, unlike the first time when it was filled with endless pressure.

  "Not bad," said Sang Hongyun softly after a moment.

  "Unaware of Master Sang Hongyun's arrival, what brings you here?" Xiao Hong asked in as polite a tone as possible.

  "It's just a coincidence that we're passing by, I heard you defeated Xu Qing, so I came to take a look. Don't worry, we don't intend to cause any trouble for you." Zhao Qing said from behind.

  "Thank you." Xiao Hong responded, and his previously hanging heart also completely let go.

  "I and my master have come, Mr. Xiao, you won't make me stand like this, will you?" Zhao Qing continued to say, with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression.

  Being able to address him as Mr. Xiao, Xiao Hong had a bit of a good impression on Zhao Qing.

  "Two seniors, please come in." Xiao Hong said, and with a slightly polite tone, he thought for a moment before making a "please" gesture with his hand.

  Xiao Hong led Sang Hongyun and Zhao Qing to the backyard, while Li Le, who had been petrified in place, slowly came back to his senses and pinched his thigh, suspecting that he was dreaming.

  When Xiao Hong led Sang Hongyun and Zhao Qing to his own room, the first thing that caught Sang Hongyun's eye was the overflowing books. Basically, the entire room, bookshelves, bed, desk, everywhere could be seen all kinds of books, enough to open a library.

  This scene caused Sang Hongyun's expression to change slightly, and in an instant, he looked at Xiao Hong with a different gaze.

  "Have you read these books before?" Sang Hongyun walked slowly in front of the giant bookshelf, occasionally taking out a book and flipping through it, then asked.

  Of course, books like "De-style concave text" that are somewhat secretive, as well as the concave texts with texture-in-texture technology that Xiao Hong makes himself, are either locked in a drawer or carried on his person, and Sang Hongyun can't see them, let alone expose them.

  "It's all right, I've studied all eight volumes." Xiao Hong responded, standing obediently at the door. Such a big shot coming over, and Xiao Hong not being nervous at all was impossible.

  "It's all right, there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a jade-like beauty in the book. No matter what identity, no matter what profession, it's not wrong to like reading." San Hongyun said softly, with an elder's tone, and casually took out a music-related book and began to flip through it.

  "I also think so, and I think that as long as I read more books, my knowledge will become broader, maybe I can find a way to cure my illness, because I want to live." Xiao Hong responded word by word, the last sentence sounded particularly resolute.

  Xiang Hongyun didn't comment on Xiao Hong's words, but just nodded slightly and continued: "I heard that you relied solely on your own strength to reach the fourth level of the Cavalry?"

  "No, that was a long time ago. Now it's Grade 5." Xiao Hong replied truthfully, with an even expression, but in his heart, he slightly raised a sense of vigilance, apparently, Sang Hongyun had done some investigation on him.

  But when he heard this, Sang Hongyun, who was originally about to put the book back on the shelf, hesitated for a moment, and his expression also changed suddenly. Of course, since he was facing away from Xiao Hong, this expression did not let Xiao Hong see it.

  Based on Sang Hongyun's understanding of riding, first, Xiao Hong couldn't possibly have a high-level training method for riding, secondly, Xiao Hong couldn't possibly go out and buy rare treasures. So relying solely on the "Breathing Training Method", to be able to reach such a level in a short amount of time, Sang Hongyun couldn't help but feel astonished.

  "How did you do it?" San Hongyun finally couldn't help but ask.

  "This." Xiao Hong said, slowly placing a small section of fragrant wood in front of Sang Hongyun.

  He gently picked up this section of incense, and relying on Sang Hongyun's strength, he didn't need to say that he could also guess its purpose. He then asked: "Did you make this yourself?"

  "Yes." Xiao Hong replied.

  Xiang Hongyun nodded slightly, it can be said that Xiao Hong's qualifications in Xiang Hongyun's eyes are really ordinary, but diligence and brains are not simple.

  This thoroughly changed Xiao Hong's image of Sang Huaiyun as a humble miner.

  Carefully putting the medicine aside, Sang Hongyun didn't ask about the formula of the medicine. After a moment's contemplation, he suddenly spoke in a low voice: "I intend to take you as my apprentice, what do you say?"

  When Zhao Qing heard this, his expression changed involuntarily. What Sang Hongyun said was no different from having already taken a liking to Xiao Hong. He understood even more clearly that by Sang Hongyun's side, the ranks were divided into great disciples, disciples, elite medicine boys and medicine boys, with their status ranging from high to low.

  Although the status of a pharmacy apprentice is the lowest and they are used very rarely, being a pharmacy apprentice has given him an opportunity to get close to Sang Hongyun, and in the future he can be promoted to an elite pharmacy apprentice or even a disciple, receiving guidance from Sang Hongyun.

  As for Sang Hongyun accepting Medicine Boy, although they were casting a wide net throughout the entire city of Tai Wu, it was extremely strict and had to be personally approved by Sang Hongyun himself.

  This is tantamount to a recognition, or an opportunity, at least for Xiao Hong now.

  "What's the benefit of being your medicine boy?" Xiao Hong asked without thinking, blurting out directly.

  Zhao Qing's face changed slightly upon hearing this, her eyes fixed on Xiao Hong, and she thought to herself, "This kid really dares to ask anything."

  Sang Hongyun didn't get angry at Xiao Hong's seemingly rude words, and his expression didn't change much either. He continued to speak in a soft voice: "Once a month, I will give the Medicine Children collective lessons, personally guiding them."

  "Alright, I agree." Xiao Hong didn't hesitate much and nodded his head. All of Xiao Hong's medical knowledge was self-taught, and there were still many things he didn't understand in his mind. Having the opportunity to receive guidance from Sang Hongyun was absolutely a good thing.

  Moreover, Xiao Hong also knew that as a medicine boy for Sang Hongyun, he had almost no chance to do anything. The materials needed by Sang Hongyun were mostly precious and were completed by elite medicine boys. In other words, this medicine boy was just a nominal title, and the opportunity to learn from him was worthless. If Xiao Hong didn't want it, then he would be a fool.

  In the subsequent conversation, Xiao Hong also knew that the nearest time when Sang Hongyun would give a lecture was a week later, which was not far away. During this period, he could prepare several questions and ask them at that time.

  At the same time, in the front hall of Dahong Pharmacy, Li Le was still wide-eyed with wonder, not daring to believe that the person who had just entered the backyard was none other than Sang Hongyun, a man whose words carried weight in Taiwu City.

  "My goodness, it can't be an impersonator, right?" Li Le pinched his own face and muttered to himself.

  Coughing, coughing...

  At this moment, a string of screeching tires suddenly came from outside the door. Li Le turned his head to look and saw Wei Jun's sports car, accompanied by two police cars, already parked at the entrance of Dahong Pharmacy, with an imposing momentum.

  First to emerge from the sports car was Wei Jun, his face twisted in a scowl. Close behind him followed seven or eight security guards clad in tactical gear and sporting M16 rifles, all of them at least level six or seven in terms of combat ability.

  The last one to come out was a security officer, slightly chubby, with a ruddy face. His name was Qi Zinan, the direct subordinate of Su Jiang, the head of the Hexi District Security Bureau. Hearing that Su Jun had been bullied, he naturally wanted to rush over as soon as possible, which was equivalent to currying favor and helping Su Jiang's big son get revenge.

  Soon, under the leadership of Wei Jun, they rushed into the Da Hong Medicine Hall. The first thing they saw was Li Le standing in the center of the ground.

  "Where is your boss?" Su Jun glanced around and then fixed his gaze on Li Le.

  Li Le, who was still entangled in the authenticity of Sang Hongyun's words, saw Wei Jun and the several security guards behind him, and his mouth corners moved involuntarily. Previously, he had thought that Wei Jun would return to take revenge, but he hadn't expected that Wei Jun would make such a big show of it.

  Instinctively, Li Le's mouth corners moved slightly, but the next moment Li Le's mind was frantically turning around.

  "Damn it, I'm asking you, where's your boss? Get him out here! Wasn't he being arrogant just now? Now I want to see how arrogant he is, dare to show off on my turf, is he worthy? Today I'll make him die without knowing what hit him!" Wei Liang continued.

  "Our boss is not available to see you now, he's entertaining some important guests." Li Le said with a nervous expression, his face slightly wooden.

  " Honored guest? I think it should be a fugitive, we just received news that your boss is suspected of harboring a suspect. Come on, search! Regardless of whether it's the boss here or all the idle people, take them away and interrogate them severely!" Qi Zinan put on a majestic appearance, in his opinion, what kind of honored guest could a small pharmacy owner have? Fortunately, taking everyone away and detaining them would also serve as a warning to them, which would be a way to give the young master an outlet for his anger. Old Man Sui wouldn't say anything either.
