"Sorry girl, we have to go back and report as soon as possible.
We don’t dare to eat your sesame cakes. Why don’t you eat them on the way?
If nothing else, we would be happy to give you a ride, but unfortunately, it would take us a lot of time."
The leading man in black immediately and decisively refused, and as soon as he finished speaking, he directly stuffed the pancake in his hand back into Chaoge's hand.
Seeing this, Chaoge quickly stepped back. In fact, this result was what she expected. She just wanted to shamelessly ask tentatively whether it was feasible or not.
"No, no, no, I know you are busy with important things. Even if you don't help, you still deserve to eat this pancake.
After working all night, how can you not be hungry?
Don't be polite, big brother. You don't have to return it to me."
Hearing Chaoge say this, the leading man in black breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chaoge would pester him.
Finally, they ate the sesame cakes given by Chaoge with peace of mind.
Leng Xiaoran also slowly woke up at this time. When he opened his eyes, he saw five masked men in black. He was so scared that he burst into tears and kept trying to get into Aunt Li's arms!
Chaoge hurriedly took over the comforting action, and after a while she finally managed to coax him into silence.
After learning the truth, the first thing Leng Xiaoran did after he stopped crying was to run to the backpack to see his big bug.
"Fortunately the big bug is still here, otherwise I would be heartbroken!
Sister, are we really going down the mountain?
Are we really going to reach Xilin County soon?"
Looking at Leng Xiaoran's excited eyes, Chaoge was also in a very good mood.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get there in five or six days by walking."
The more Chaoge spoke, the more frustrated her tone became. When the five men in black who had just eaten the sesame cakes heard her tone, they inexplicably felt a trace of guilt in their hearts.
It was clearly Chaoge who wanted to morally blackmail them, so it was only natural for them to refuse!
But why did they feel so guilty when they heard her say that it would take five or six days to walk to Xilin County?
As expected, women are troublesome things, and those with soft hearts are the most difficult.
"Thank you, big brother, for taking us down the mountain. We have nothing to thank you for. I will give you a few big bugs.
This big bug can be exchanged for silver at the pharmacy!"
As Leng Xiaoran spoke, he took out the half-meter-long wooden tube from the backpack with great effort.
A few people from Chaoge wanted to stop it, but they were stopped by the black-clad man who was leading the group!
Leng Xiaoran was the one he carried all the way down the mountain. Such a sweet child wanted to thank him with his big bug. He was very happy and didn't want to spoil Leng Xiaoran's fun.
Leng Xiaoran opened the wooden tube, broke off two branches and took out a centipede about ten centimeters long.
But after the centipede was caught, he was at a loss as to what to use to hold it.
Just when he was having a headache, the man in black's face changed when he saw the so-called big bug.
"This wooden tube is full of centipedes?!"
He thought Leng Xiaoran would take out some kind of cute insect, but when he saw the big centipede with countless legs constantly twisting its body and struggling desperately to escape on the wooden stick in Leng Xiaoran's hand, he was shocked!
"Yes! We have been catching them for many days, and this wood is full.
The eldest sister said that this was medicine and could be sold for money.
Big brother, we don't have money, how about we give you this big bug as a reward?"
After hearing Leng Xiaoran’s words, the Leng siblings and Aunt Li from Chaoge really wanted to cover their faces.
"No, no, no, big brother doesn't need us to pay him. Big brother doesn't need this little money."
Leng Furong stepped forward, snatched the stick from his hand, stuffed the centipede back into his hand, and coaxed him.
"How many centipedes do you have here?"
The man in black no longer had the mood to tease Leng Xiaoran. Their master needed thirty centipedes every day, which meant nine hundred in thirty days.
Dead centipedes are easy to find in pharmacies, but for living ones, you really have to catch them.
He didn't expect that meeting Chaoge would bring him such an unexpected gain?
Looking further ahead, the wooden stake was about that high, and he expected it to be filled with centipedes.
“I haven’t counted them, but two or three hundred should be enough. The wooden tube is hollowed out, and a very thin layer is already full.
What? Do you guys still need this live centipede?"
Looking at the excited eyes of the man in black, Chaoge made a bold guess.
"Well, it has the same use as the snake gallbladder. I never thought that you would catch these centipedes while fleeing from famine.
How about this, can you sell me these centipedes?"
“Sell it to you?
Forget it, why don't you use your Qinggong to take us to Xilin County, and I'll give you these centipedes as a gift."
The man in black didn't expect Chaoge to still not give up, but it seemed that Chaoge had caught him.
But if we take them with us, it would take at least twice as long to reach Xilin County, which originally took half a day.
"Brother, stop talking nonsense to her. They have to sell this centipede even if they don't want to!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that Chaoge was still threatening, a man in black behind him couldn't control his temper and spoke directly and sternly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, he was immediately scolded by the man in black who was the leader of the five people.
"The girl is a capable person, so it's reasonable for her to make demands.
Everyone has their own needs, and that's normal.
We are not robbers. Don't forget what the master once said. Do you want to discredit the master?"
After hearing the conversation between the two men in black, Chaoge understood.
Although these people are highly skilled in martial arts, they are not bad people. The main reason is that they have a righteous master.
Yes, if they were bad people, they should have killed her after taking advantage of her last night.
In this situation, she could only rely on all her cleverness to quickly get out of her current predicament and live a normal life as soon as possible.
The smaller a person is, the less he should act arrogantly, and the more he should know how to make use of everything available, as long as it does not violate principles and goes against his conscience.
She just wasted their time and didn't harm their interests. Chaoge didn't think of herself as a villain.
"Brother, you are too kind. It seems that you need snake gallbladder and live centipedes. Maybe someone has been poisoned and you want to use them to detoxify, right?
If you can help us without delaying the detoxification of the people behind you, we will be very grateful.
By the way, these fifty taels of silver will be used as a drink for the brothers."
Chaoge didn't care at all about the attitude of the man in black who threatened to force them to buy the Centipede. He showed the most sincere attitude and directly took out a silver note of fifty taels to express his gratitude.
Although this banknote was exchanged from their leader last night, fifty taels is still a huge sum of money for Chaoge and his men.
Seeing the huge sum of fifty taels of silver that Chaoge took out, Aunt Li's eyes widened!
