Chapter 151 Unscrupulous Merchants
"That old lady said she bought your fake medicine and suffered heavy losses." Shen Wan didn't even think about it and blurted out, "I think she must be lying. After all, selling fake medicine is a wicked thing that will end your family lineage. Who would be so shameless!"
When the villagers heard this, they felt their faces burning and did not dare to say anything.
If there was a crack in the ground at this moment, they would definitely crawl in without hesitation.
The old village chief blushed even more and asked hesitantly, "Then... they won't come back, right?"
"I don't know about that." Shen Wan shook her head. "My husband and I just came here to buy detoxification herbs. I don't know what the old lady was thinking."
What else can I think?
If you fail once, there will definitely be a second time.
Thinking of this, the villagers' eyes immediately dimmed.
He couldn't defeat her by fighting, and he was no match for the old woman even if he used poison.
move place?
But they can do nothing but sell fake medicine, and they will probably starve to death if they leave here.
"No way, are you really selling fake medicine?" Looking at their troubled faces, Shen Wan pretended to be surprised, "You are really confused, fake medicine can cause death."
"If anything happens to someone who takes the medicine, their family will definitely come after you!"
Upon hearing this, the old village chief quickly explained: "Little girl, you misunderstood."
"It's true that we sell fake medicine, but we mix some old medicine into the medicine. At most, the potency is a little weaker, but it won't cause death at all."
"I swear, this is definitely the first time someone has come to my door!"
Shen Wan didn't believe a single word of his lies.
She raised her eyebrows and asked with a forced smile, "So the detoxification herbs sold to passersby in previous years were all real?"
They even used licorice to pretend to be a detoxifying herb, and he still had the nerve to explain!
If she hadn't felt sorry for the children in the village, she would have really wanted to stand by and watch.
The old village chief's face turned pale.
"Okay, you don't have to say anymore!" Shen Wan put away the smile on her face and said coldly, "Since most of the medicines here are fake, I won't buy them."
Before she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
After walking along the yellow mud road for a while, a small hill suddenly appeared in front of us.
The mountain is covered with various herbs, and even the stream is filled with the fragrance of herbs.
Looking at the mountain full of herbs, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
The test results of the detoxifying grass are out. It does have the effect of resisting miasma, but the effect is not ideal.
These waters contain the fragrance of various herbs, which should be the perfect counteract to the miasma.
If not for this, Scarface wouldn't have gone to the village to fetch water every time.
Thinking of this, Shen Wan silently hooked her fingers.
It is impossible to collect the stream into the space, but it is no problem to store the stream water.
Of course, she wouldn't let go of these herbs either.
Staying here will only allow these unscrupulous businessmen to continue cheating people.
Soon, all kinds of herbs on the mountain entered the space.
What shocked her even more was that there was a century-old wild ginseng among them!
This time, she really made a fortune!
Shen Wan excitedly put all the herbs into the space, and then returned to the thatched hut.
Seeing her smiling face, Xie Mubai knew that this clown girl must have gotten something good again.
"What makes you so happy?" He smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting.
Shen Wan made a face at him and smiled mischievously: “Keep it a secret for now, I’ll tell you later!”
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Mubai didn't force her.
"Let's go quickly. I think Brother Hu is getting anxious." He said with a smile.
After Shen Wan heard this, she pushed the wheelchair out.
After walking a few steps, he saw the old village chief and two big men chasing after him.
Oh no, did he discover that the herbs on the mountain are gone?
Shen Wan’s heart tightened slightly.
"I have no way of repaying you for saving my life, young lady. Save this bucket of water for when you cross the poisonous miasma forest." The old village chief waved his hand, and two burly men handed over a bucket of water and a basket of herbs. "Just soak a towel in the water, cover your mouth and nose with it, and add the detoxifying herbs, and you'll be able to pass through the poisonous miasma forest."
"But I hope you can keep today's matter a secret."
Shen Wan nodded and took everything.
The herbs this time are all real, and there is not a single licorice mixed in.
As for this little thing in the village, she had no intention of talking about it.
Anyway, the herbs are gone, so they have nothing to cheat people with.
"By the way, young lady, I have something I want to ask you." The old village chief hesitated for a moment and asked, "From your accent, you seem to be from the capital. I wonder if you know a police officer with a scar on his face?"
Shen Wanxin moved slightly and asked deliberately: “Are you familiar with each other?”
"Not really." The old village chief smiled uncomfortably. "I used to be an official, and I worked with him for a few years."
"He used to pass by here often, but I didn't see him once this year, so I asked."
Shen Wan didn’t intend to tell the truth to these profiteers, she just smiled and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”
"It's getting late, we should leave."
Upon hearing this, the old village chief did not try to persuade him to stay.
Soon, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai arrived outside the village.
Seeing her bring water and detoxification herbs, Hu Dahai's eyes were red with excitement: "Thanks to my sister, otherwise I really don't know how to get out of this poisonous forest."
"Isn't my brother's business my business?" Shen Wan said with a smile, "Let's go quickly."
Hu Dahai was already waiting anxiously outside the village. If Wang Qi hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed in long ago.
So the group continued walking along the path.
After wading through a shallow stream, a large forest suddenly appeared before our eyes.
The forest was lush and green, and except for being a little bigger, it looked like any other forest.
This should be the legendary poisonous forest.
After Shen Wan saw it, she gave the water and the detoxification grass to Hu Dahai.
Hu Dahai also knew how to use it. Under his supervision, the group was soon fully armed.
"Remember, everyone must not take off the towel!" Shen Wan looked at it and warned, "If you inhale the miasma, it will definitely cause damage to your body."
"Especially parents with children, please keep an eye on them and don't let them take it off."
Zhao disagreed and rolled her eyes.
Everyone knows to take good care of the children. Why does this ugly woman have to pretend to be a good person here?
Hu Dahai personally checked it again before officially setting off.
The forest was very quiet, there were no mosquitoes, no poisonous snakes, and not even a flying bird.
Seeing that everything was normal, everyone finally let go of their worries.
It seems that this poisonous forest is just a name and is not as scary as the rumors say.
Especially a few children, they actually started fighting on the road.
Dabao was the most vicious. Taking advantage of his height, he directly pulled the towel off a boy's face.
"Stop!" Shen Wan's eyes turned cold and she shouted sternly.
Hearing the sharp voice, Dabao burst into tears in fear: "Mom, that ugly girl bullied me again..."
Seeing this, Zhao held him in her arms with a look of heartache.
"If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Why are you scolding the child?" She frowned and looked at Shen Wan unhappily. "I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to point fingers here!"
"Besides, there's no miasma here. I guess it's all a lie!"
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but sneered: “Really?”
"If someone pulled the towel off Dabao's face, you wouldn't care, right?"
When Erbao heard this, he immediately reached out to pull the towel off Dabao's face.
He already hated Dabao, and this little fat boy had bullied Da Niu before, so he remembered this account clearly.
