Chapter 125 Cooperation
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a young and handsome man appeared on the high wall of the village.
The middle-aged man next to him was surprised when he saw him:
"Master, why did you come out?"
Du Hengbai, known as the Young Master, shook his head at him:
"Uncle Du, let's talk about this later."
Then he looked at Lin Mo and the others who turned to look at him and asked loudly:
"Are you coming from the capital?"
This time, no one rushed to answer, and everyone looked at Lin Mo.
They all subconsciously chose to listen to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo took a step forward and nodded, "That's right."
Du Hengbai didn't expect that it was a woman who stood up. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses:
"I'm looking for a certain herb. If you have it, I'll not only buy it at a high price, but I'll also give you a hundred pounds of grain."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Dongyang and others became restless.
really!
A dark light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
In the previous life, people who came to buy food returned empty-handed.
But soon after they came back, a young man came up behind them.
He was willing to exchange a high price and a hundred kilograms of grain for a medicinal herb.
None of this is important, what is important is getting to know him.
This person's identity is not simple.
In the previous life, the Han family exchanged medicinal herbs with him, and that’s how they got to know him.
Because of him and Li Weining, the Han family had an extremely comfortable journey for the rest of the journey.
Li Weining was pulled to her side by her, and the person in front of her naturally wanted to be pulled to her side as well.
She will not give the Han family a chance to turn things around.
Given the current incompatible relationship between the Han family and them, once the Han family gains power, they will definitely make things difficult for them.
Lin Mo took a step forward, "What medicine do you want?"
"Thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum." Du Heng said.
These exiled people may have come from complicated backgrounds.
The middle-aged man standing next to him shook his head:
"Young Master, you are too naive.
"These exiled people must have had their homes confiscated before they were released. They can barely afford food, so how could they possibly have such precious medicinal herbs?"
"As long as there is a chance, we must try it. Grandfather can't delay." Du Hengbai shook his head.
Of course he knew the chances were slim, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would give it a try.
After all, these people come from prominent families and have strong backgrounds. Maybe when their homes were raided, they managed to secretly bring out some life-saving herbs.
The middle-aged man sighed, "Young Master, there is a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum in the palace. They are already thinking of a way, don't worry."
…
At this time, when Liu Dongyang and the others heard the other party mention the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, they all showed disappointment on their faces.
It is rare to find a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, let alone a thousand-year-old one.
Zhou Peizhi sighed, "Let's go. We'll be in town in two days. If we tighten our belts, we should be able to make it."
Liu Dongyang also nodded in agreement and thought that it would be over after a while.
Thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum is rare in the world and it is impossible to have it.
They shook their heads and turned away.
After walking for a distance, he realized that Lin Mo had not caught up with him.
Then they turned around:
"Mrs. Xu is leaving."
"Yeah, there's still time. Look around and maybe you can find something to eat."
…
Lin Mo ignored them and stared at Du Hengbai and the others:
"I have."
These two simple words brought silence to the scene.
And everyone's eyes fell on her.
Du Hengbai's heart also started beating wildly. She said she had it, she had thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum!
After reacting, he immediately shouted excitedly:
"Open the door and let her in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the high wall excitedly.
As he spoke, he also ran excitedly towards the high wall.
The man who was still on the high wall saw the woman walking towards them with a large group of people following her, and his face suddenly darkened:
"Only she is allowed to come, no one else can come."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Dongyang became dissatisfied.
He raised his head and said, “We are together, why can’t we go together?
She is the only one here. What if you do something bad to her?"
"That's right." Zhou Peizhi said seriously:
"Mrs. Xu, if we can't go together, you can't go alone. Otherwise, if they want to do anything to you, I won't be able to stop them."
Others also spoke up, asking her not to go over, fearing it might be dangerous.
After all, once they get in and the door is closed, it will be difficult for them to rescue people.
Xiao Liuzi also frowned, "Mrs. Xu, you don't need to take this risk.
Brother Wei has arranged for someone to buy steamed bread, maybe it will arrive tomorrow."
So, just stay up one more night.
Crunch!
The door that was originally locked was now opened.
Lin Mo glanced at the open door, then looked at Liu Dongyang and the others and shook his head:
“Don’t worry, it’s okay.
There’s no need for them to attack me because of this.”
Xiao Liuzi knew he couldn't change her mind, so he turned and looked towards the village entrance:
"I'm the escort. I'll go in with Madam Xu."
"Little Six..."
"Mrs. Xu, you don't need to say more. I'm a bailiff and my job is to ensure your safety." Xiao Liuzi said with a serious face.
Then he looked towards the village and asked, "Is that okay?"
"No." The middle-aged man said with a stern face, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes:
"This isn't a bandit den; we wouldn't commit murder or robbery.
If you don’t trust us, you can leave.”
Du Hengbai, who was standing at the door, also nodded seriously:
“Everyone can rest assured that we will not make things difficult for her.
But the rule in the village that outsiders are not welcome is real, please forgive me."
Lin Mo shook his head at Zhou Peizhi and the others, asked them to wait for him here, and then walked towards Du Hengbai.
Du Hengbai, the young master of the Du family.
The ancestors of the Du family were once the emperor's favorites, but because they offended the emperor, the whole family fled here for refuge.
Later, this village came into being.
This was something she had heard in her previous life, but she wasn't sure if it was true.
But there was one thing in the Du family that attracted her very much.
Crunch!
When she stepped into Dujia Village, the gate behind her closed again, blocking out everything outside.
Liu Dongyang looked worried. "Zhou Peizhi, do you think Madam Xu will be okay?"
If anything happens, they won’t be able to explain to the Xu family when they go back.
"I don't know!" Zhou Peizhi shook his head.
"I hope she's okay and can successfully exchange for food. But does she really have a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum? Is she just being mysterious to fool them?"
"ah?"
…
Here, as soon as the door closed, Du Hengbai immediately looked at Lin Mo excitedly:
"Where's the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?"
Lin Mo glanced at him, then took out something tightly wrapped in cloth from her body and handed it over:
"This is what you wanted."
She had robbed this Polygonum multiflorum from the Han family, and she was not sure of its age.
But in his previous life, Du Hengbai was ecstatic when he got this Polygonum multiflorum, probably a thousand years ago.
Therefore, the Han family's background really cannot be underestimated.
Even though their house was ransacked, they were still able to take these good things out.
It is probably kept for use in case of life-saving.
Du Hengbai took the Polygonum multiflorum from Lin Mo's hand with trembling hands. As soon as he opened it, his eyes lit up instantly.
It is Polygonum multiflorum.
Du Hengbai was excited and spoke in a hurried tone:
"Wait a minute, my people are going to call a doctor.
Once he is sure that this is what we want, I will give him the money immediately."
Lin Mo had no objection.
But she has no interest in money.
While Du Hengbai was not on guard, Lin Mo took the Polygonum multiflorum back, took two steps back and shook his head:
"Master Du, I want to discuss cooperation with you.
If the cooperation is successful, this Polygonum multiflorum is my sincerity.
In addition, I can also provide you with other medicinal herbs you need."
Du Hengbai became alert, staring at Lin Mo with sharp eyes:
"Coming for us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him stared at Lin Mo vigilantly and were ready to attack at any time.
"Yes and no." Lin Mo shook his head:
"You have what I want, and I have what you want. It's just a win-win cooperation."
Du Hengbai waved his hand.
The next second, everyone behind him rushed towards Lin Mo and surrounded her.
When he looked at Lin Mo, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes:
"What do you know?"
Nothing here can be leaked out. Once it is leaked, everyone here will probably die.
Lin Mo shook his head, "It seems that your Du family is willing to stay here for generations.
So, just treat what I just said as if I didn’t say anything.”
She shook the Polygonum multiflorum in her hand and said, "Ten thousand taels for five hundred kilograms of grain. I don't think it's unreasonable."
Lin Mo felt a little sorry that she had acted too hastily.
As long as she doesn't have time to waste on this.
Du Hengbai didn't say anything until an old man came out.
The old man, Zhang Baofeng, only took one look at the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum in Lin Mo's hand and immediately nodded excitedly:
"Master, it's a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum."
Du Hengbai nodded excitedly, but when he looked at Lin Mo, his face sank.
"Ten thousand taels, five hundred kilograms of grain, that's fine."
Then he asked people to go back and move the food out.
He took out a stack of banknotes and handed them over, "Please count them."
Lin Mo took it and took a careful look at it. It was a banknote from Tongsheng Silver House. He accepted the banknote and handed over the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand.
Du Hengbai took the Polygonum multiflorum, checked it again to make sure it was alright, then handed it to Zhang Baofeng and asked him to use it as medicine while he waited for food to be delivered to Lin Mo.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
