But since grandpa, grandma, aunt and auntie insisted so much, then she...

"Boom—"

A flash of lightning struck the mountain top, and heavy rain suddenly began to fall.

“No, no…”

“How can we let the villagers suffer?”

"Let's wait for the buyers from the city to arrive before we discuss the price."

Qiao Qiao used her magical eyes to look at the lightning on the top of the mountain that was almost striking her head. She was forced to stop thinking and righteously rejected the villagers' request.

No!

She was not afraid of being struck by lightning, she really felt that a gentleman who loves money should get it in a proper way!

The villagers of Qingshan Village did not appreciate it at all.

"I always say that children have no hair on their lips and cannot do things reliably."

"Go, go, go home, go home quickly!"

They changed their attitudes like turning the pages of a book, and ran away even faster than when they came. By the afternoon, they even stopped sending common herbs like wild chrysanthemum and cassia seed to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao was puzzled and wanted to find someone to ask.

"Want to know what's going on?"

That familiar and overly pleasant voice came into her ears again.

Qiao Qiao looked around and didn't see anyone, so he pretended he didn't hear anything.

The man chuckled and actually spoke again.

"Come here now and I'll tell you."

Qiao Qiao turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear.

“Snap—”

A warm and smooth jade token fell, leaving Qiao Qiao no chance to play dumb.

After all, the jade on this jade pendant looks very similar to the one around his neck.

They are all good jade!

When Qiao Qiao saw it, he subconsciously calculated its value - it was so big that it could easily be enough for 8 or 10 meals.

It's really hard not to pick it up.

But the jade was picked up, but how about meeting him?

After lunch, Qiao Qiao hurried up the mountain before it got dark. She even ignored Dr. Tang, who had been repeatedly calling her and clamoring for her to bring back some cash.

She casually fooled Uncle Li and the program crew, and ran back to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

Not only did she not go to the appointment, she even took an extra step to protect herself by sitting directly under the statue of the ancestor to seek protection, for fear that the owner of the voice would come to her.

That behavior made the man laugh.

"Bang—"

At the appointed time, the gate of the Taoist temple opened and a man in a black robe embroidered with gold walked in openly.

The ancestor didn't move at all, and even the tablet of the old man who usually jumped the loudest was as quiet as a chicken.

It’s over…

Could it be that this evil ghost is more powerful than the ancestor?

Qiao Qiao frowned, feeling that he had miscalculated.

“Crack.”

The old man's tablet finally moved, but it was not directed at the jade-white ghost, but at Qiao Qiao.

"ah!"

After a scream, the pretty girl turned into an African "coal" woman.

"Why did you chop me again?"

Qiao Qiao was so angry that he vented his anger at the old man.

"Heh." The man chuckled again.

Then, he didn't know what he was thinking about. He snorted coldly at the old man's tablet and walked away.

Qiao Qiao looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

When she turned around, the old man's tablet was hiding behind her, looking particularly sneaky.

Qiao Qiao: "..."

Qiao Qiao felt it was too shameful to watch.

The jade token she had picked up earlier suddenly shattered, turned into a white light, and went straight into her forehead.

It turned out to be a jade talisman as a souvenir!

It is similar to sending text messages on mobile phones today.

Nowadays, who would still use luxury items like jade talismans when something can be solved with just a dime?

Qiao Qiao didn't have time to read the "text message" in her mind at the moment. She just wanted to feel sorry for her jade talisman.

“I don’t know if those people will accept these scum.”

She was dejected and even wanted to put the jade powder on the ground into her small pocket and ask those who specialized in jade repair.

"pain!"

It was not until he was hit on the head by the old man's tablet that he gave up the idea.

She focused her mind and looked at the information in her head.

The information is somewhat incomplete, which may be intentional.

The general meaning is that the medicinal materials of this village, and even almost all the villages around Daqingshan, are controlled by someone.

But by whom, he didn't say.

The price that a monopoly enterprise pays to villagers for medicinal materials must be very low.

A few years ago, a brave and careful young man from Qingshan Village went out to work. When he learned the truth, he rose up in resistance and took a few ginseng plants out to sell. However, for some unknown reason, he never came back.

Oh, the young man’s name was not mentioned either.

After that, Qingshan Village, and even the surrounding villages, rarely saw anyone come to collect medicinal herbs. Even when someone did come, they would make increasingly demanding requests.

Finally, the man pointed out the key point. During this period, it wasn't that there were no herbal medicine merchants outside who came with money to buy herbs, but none of them could successfully get in. Even if there were occasional ones, they would at most take away cheap herbs such as wild chrysanthemums and honeysuckle.

As for ginseng, angelica and the like, even if you buy them, you absolutely cannot take them away.

Quite arrogant!

Qiao Qiao had heard of such things in her previous life.

But at that time, the campaign against organized crime had come to an end, and all the evil spirits had been suppressed under the surface. It was absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen so blatantly.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao's mind moved and he almost subconsciously picked up his phone.

"beep--"
