Chaoge nodded and did not question them why they did not help. After all, the person was taken out of their pharmacy, so they actually had half the responsibility.
But she knew that it was useless to ask, because in this world, everyone cherished their lives.
Judging from the old man's age, he probably couldn't withstand the beatings and kicks from those people.
"Yes, pack them all up. How much silver?"
"Two taels, three coins, and sixty coins in total."
When the old doctor announced the amount, Chaoge's hand holding the silver paused and he looked at the doctor with some surprise.
Among these medicinal materials, astragalus and ginseng were added to each prescription. Although there were only three slices of ginseng in each prescription, the price was beyond Chaoge's expectation.
"Alas, everyone is having a hard time now. My medicine is still priced the same. There is no price increase. Don't worry, young lady."
Looking at the doctor's efforts to explain, it was obvious that he had misunderstood what he meant.
Perhaps the doctor thought that she disliked the expensive herbs, but in fact, it was not the case. She felt that the doctor really had a kind heart.
After all, in this era, there was almost no artificial cultivation of medicine, and many medicines had to be collected by doctors themselves in the mountains.
The dangers and accidents involved are much more risky than other businesses.
"I don't think it's expensive, but I'm a little surprised that your clinic is so cheap.
I admire you, old man."
"The girl has a kind heart, and you are the only one who thinks so. Many people think I have a bad heart.
During peaceful times, these medicinal herbs were more expensive than food because they were almost all collected by me alone, climbing mountains and wading through water.
For some medicinal materials, the prices are set by the medicinal material dealers, and we have no say in the matter.
Well, since I get along well with the girl, I'd better remind her that those thugs just now are well-known bullies in this town.
It’s not that I want to stand idly by, but my whole family lives in this town and I really can’t afford to offend these people.
You just hurt their people, these people will definitely not give up, girls, if you are from other places, you must be careful, these people will definitely retaliate. "
Chaoge also expected that things would not be that simple.
But when encountering such a thing, it is impossible for you to just let people tease you and steal your money and then become a coward, right?
She thanked the old doctor gratefully and took Zhou Dong and the others back.
“Go and ask the waiter to boil the medicine. I have to go out and look for the black panther. It has been following us secretly all the way, and I don’t know why it didn’t come in with us.
Bringing the Black Panther back would also have some deterrent effect, since those people might come back for revenge.”
"Big sister, I'll go with you."
After what just happened, Leng Liecheng was naturally worried about Chaoge leaving the town alone.
But if he went, how would Chaoge have a chance to release the Black Panther couple?
"Don't worry, I'll just look for him at the entrance of the town. Aren't there soldiers over there?
Even if those people want to come back to cause trouble for me, they won't be so stupid as to run into the officers and soldiers.
The inn is not safe. When I'm not here, it's up to you to protect them."
Chaoge said so, and Leng Liecheng had no choice but to do as he was told.
Zhou Dong took the medicine and followed the waiter to the inn's kitchenette to boil it, while Leng Liecheng went upstairs.
He knocked on the door and walked in, but he didn't notice that the door of the upper room next door was also opened. A maid saw his profile and hurriedly retreated.
"Are you sure you're seeing that?"
"Reporting to the old lady, I am not mistaken. I have seen that boy twice in the manor and I remember him clearly."
Hearing this, a sinister look flashed across the old lady's face.
“When the people I sent out never came back, I said there was a problem.
I didn't expect that these three little radishes could be so lucky.
Even if those people didn't catch them, considering the three of them used to live a life of luxury, they shouldn't be alive today in this famine year with so many cannibalistic victims."
“Reporting to the old lady, why don’t you let me go and find out if there are any masters protecting these three people?
Otherwise, the people you hired with your money, old lady, can even deal with An Liu, so how can they not deal with those little ones?"
Seeing that her master's face was full of confusion, the little maid immediately stepped forward and expressed her feelings.
If she could do this well, she would be able to save face in front of her old lady and be valued by her in the future. Good days would be just around the corner.
Upon hearing this, Madam He looked the maid up and down with a gloomy expression, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "You have been with me for several years, but I didn't expect you to be so smart.
Go!
But you must be careful not to alert the enemy. If nothing goes wrong this time and we catch these three of them, your master's abandonment of the city will be successfully resolved.
Also, don’t let the people next door know.”
"Yes, I understand."
The maid retreated, and there was a hint of viciousness in Madam He's eyes.
“Anyone who dares to block my son’s future should die!
Even the child in that woman's belly could not be saved.
Go and tell the woman next door that there are refugees rampaging outside and she should never leave her room.
If she dares to step out of this room today, I will hold you accountable!"
There was a gleam of viciousness in Madam He's eyes, and the maidservant beside her was so frightened that she quickly pounded her head to obey the order and left the house respectfully.
"Sir, it was in this inn that their people hacked and injured our brothers.
The people inside live in the room with the letter "人" on the second floor."
The thug who was chopped by Leng Liecheng really came back. Not only him, but a group of six people also came back, and they also brought two officers who were maintaining order outside the town.
Under the guidance of the thug, two officers with swords walked directly into the guest hall of the inn. Upon seeing this, the innkeeper hurried over to greet them.
"Sir, I wonder what the guest of our store has done wrong. Do you need me to lead the way?"
"No need, I have already found out which room the boy lives in. Please come this way, sir."
When the thug saw the shopkeeper coming up, he hurried to stop him.
Ever since this inn opened in their town, the owner has always been very protective of the guests in their inn. Even though the owner is just an outsider, he has never taken the local bullies seriously.
They have always been used to being domineering in this town, but this is the inn they have never set foot on.
Today, they finally have the chance to bring the officials here with a clear conscience, so the thugs will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
Seeing the two officials being taken upstairs by some local thugs, the shopkeeper's face changed and he quickly left the guest hall and went to the backyard of the inn.
"My Lord, something happened in the room that my Lord asked me to stay.
Six thugs came with two soldiers to arrest someone, saying that a kid had injured one of their men.
