Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1397
Chapter 1397: Opportunity
Half a month later.
“Feng Jiu, Senior Brother Zhang of the sixth peak calls for you to deliver the medicine.”
“Feng Jiu, by the way, take the fifth peak spirit herbs on your way there .”
“Feng Jiu, you’ve gained a reward. You can exchange it when you come back.”
“Feng Jiu, the green-feathered chicken you raised is coming again. Call it over quickly. Don’t mess up the spirit herbs I picked.”
“Feng Jiu…”
“Cluck cluck cluck…”
The courtyard was bustling with the voices of the errand boys, the stewards setting up tasks, and the squawking of chicken. The most frequently called was the two word Feng Jiu.
“Coming, coming. Don’t rush, one by one.”
Feng Jiu came in from the back while stuffing two or three pieces of fruit in her mouth. Because she sent spirit herbs the fastest and also had never made a mistake, even rushed to deliver that others were unwilling to, after half a month or so, she was fully integrated with the people here.
“Cluck cluck cluck!”
But in half a month, the green-feathered chicken’s body was almost round and its green feathers were increasingly glossier. However, even half a month later, its egg hadn’t been laid yet. It went everywhere with Feng Jiu all day long, so that people from top to bottom knew that this green-feathered chicken with something like a green hat on its head was a spirit bird raised by Feng Jiu.
“Green Feather! Will you stop making so much noise? It’s not early in the morning. What are you squawking for? Go away, I’m busy! Don’t bother me.” Feng Jiu chased the chicken away while putting the spirit herbs for delivery into the basket.
“Cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck…” Green Feather flapped its wings to go out, no longer following her to wander in the courtyard.
“Feng Jiu? Is Feng Jiu here?” Someone called out in a loud voice.
“Yes, I am. I’m here.” She waved without looking up.
The man saw that she was busy, so he walked quickly up to her and handed her the basket. “This is what Martial Uncle Shangguan wants. You can drop it on your way, it’s on the eighth peak.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu, who was busy packing herbs, paused and looked up at the visitor. “Martial Uncle Shangguan? The inner disciple of the Third Sun Patriarch?”
“From what you’re asking, apart from her, are there other people with the surname Shangguan in Third Sun?”
The man smiled. “Correct, that’s her. I should have sent it myself, but I have to go down the mountain for business. Help me send it to her while you’re doing your deliveries. She doesn’t need this spirit herb urgently. Go there after you finish delivering other herbs. ”
He knew that Feng Jiu was a new errand boy who had only been in for about half a month. However, due to her good performance as well as all the alchemists’ good impression of her, some people proposed to have her be an alchemist apprentice that serves alongside an alchemist. Therefore, he felt more at ease asking her to deliver the spirit herbs.
On hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes lit up. She took the basket quickly. “Senior Brother Guo, don’t worry. I’ll do it well. Leave all such jobs to me in the future. I like to deliver spirit herbs best.”
“Hahaha, alright, alright. I’ll trouble you, then. I’ll bring you something once I’m back.” The man, surnamed Guo, laughed, patted Feng Jiu on the shoulder and then turned away.
Feng Jiu smiled and had all the things packed well. After greeting everyone, she went out briskly with two baskets on her arms, humming a tune along the way.
