Chapter 443 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator 46
go home?
Meng Qizhou held the letter, feeling extremely anxious.
She left alone, unaware of the troubles that might ensue along the way, and what if she were captured by a demon?
A ginseng fruit like her, left all alone outside, is like a piece of honey dropped on the ground; it attracts all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
That's too dangerous.
Unable to put his mind at ease and without time to waste, Meng Qizhou quickly packed some things, slung his bag over his shoulder, and chased after them.
Even if it's just going home, he has to personally take her back before he feels at ease.
On the other side.
Little Fruit has run this route so many times that she's quite experienced now.
Although the journey was slow, we made it down the mountain smoothly.
Actually, she just thought the mountain wasn't fun, so she sneaked out; she wasn't in a hurry to go home.
After hesitating for a moment at the fork in the road, Xiao Guozi took the other path.
She still wanted to go to a crowded and lively place to have some fun.
Let's talk about going home later.
In the woods not far behind her, Meng Qizhou couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, he knew she was a clueless girl who didn't know the way home.
This is completely the opposite of what was expected.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home until next year.
He knew she was unreliable and could never be trusted.
Meng Qizhou was making plans in his mind.
If he were to show himself now, Little Fruit might not be happy to let him come along, and might even try to drive him away.
He let her "wander" on her own for a few days while he secretly followed behind to protect her.
He would suddenly appear when she got tired, fed up, and couldn't walk anymore... and realized that she was not used to being taken care of every day.
Then I won't have to worry about being kicked out by her, and I can also take the opportunity to show off.
That's a good idea.
Once Meng Qizhou made his decision, he didn't show himself but secretly followed them.
Little Guozi is also very perceptive and occasionally notices something is wrong, but when she looks behind her, she can't see anything.
Fearing that bad people were following her, she simply transformed into human form, disguised herself, and became a village girl selling wild vegetables. She then entered the city with some wild grass she picked from the ground.
...
In the market.
Jiang Zhiyi held a small sugar figurine in one hand and a shopping basket in the other, weaving through the crowd.
The air was filled with the shouts of vendors hawking their wares.
Her eyes were drawn to the toy vendor.
There were many new and interesting things that she had never seen before.
Jiang Zhiyi felt her pocket; inside were many copper coins and a few small silver ingots…
She got this from Meng Qizhou.
She originally wanted to take more silver and gold, but after thinking about it, she realized that Meng Qizhou didn't seem to be wealthy.
Usually, any good food or fun activities are only for her; he never gets any. It seems he's a bit strapped for cash and can only afford one serving.
Since she wouldn't need much anyway, she figured it was better to leave him something, so she only took a little.
“Hmm…I want this…this…and that…” Jiang Zhiyi stepped forward, waving her hand so big that she practically bought up the entire stall.
"Alright!" The vendor saw that although she was carrying a vegetable basket, her appearance and clothing were like a fairy descended from heaven. He was sure she was a young lady from a wealthy family who had come out to play. So he very attentively packed up everything she wanted.
Jiang Zhiyi handed over the copper coin.
The vendor hesitated; with so little money, he couldn't even buy one.
Could it be that I've encountered a scammer?
He looked around again.
According to the storybook, there must be some secret guards standing by, who will come forward to pay for their young lady later.
Soon, the vendor spotted Meng Qizhou, who had an outstanding presence, standing not far away.
Jiang Zhiyi was still urging, "What's wrong? Don't you want the money anymore?"
Meng Qizhou raised his hand towards the vendor and pointed to his money bag. The vendor understood immediately and took the copper coin from Jiang Zhiyi.
"Please take care!"
Jiang Zhiyi took the things and left.
Meng Qizhou came over to pay the bill for her, "How much is owed?"
He took out a silver ingot.
The vendor took the money with a smile and gave him change.
It seems the stories in the novels were indeed true.
Reading more books is definitely beneficial.
It was only a short delay, and by the time Meng Qizhou went to check again, Jiang Zhiyi was already gone.
He looked around and took a few more steps forward, but he couldn't see her anywhere.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyi was carefully hiding to the side.
She's not blind; she could spot Meng Qizhou, such a big person, standing there at a glance.
No wonder I felt like someone was following me the whole way and was so scared; it turns out he was the culprit.
Hmph, she didn't even say a word. She was worried sick on the way here.
Jiang Zhiyi was about to sneak away, but she didn't expect Meng Qizhou to have already come over.
Unable to dodge in time, she stuffed everything into her bundle, which then transformed back into the shape of a ginseng fruit.
In front of me are the vendor's boxes.
It's quite a coincidence that the room is filled with little monster-shaped dolls, all very realistically made.
She went straight inside and mingled with the other dolls, hiding herself away.
The unsuspecting vendor carried out the box and continued hawking his wares.
Meng Qizhou approached.
"Young master, is there anything you like?"
"Do you have any ginseng fruit shaped like this? I used to have one, but unfortunately I lost it."
"Of course!" the vendor hurriedly called out, pointing to the side, "We have ginseng fruits in porcelain, ginseng fruits in coarse cloth, ginseng fruits in silk, ginseng fruits carved from wood... and over there they sell sugar figurines shaped like ginseng fruits, they're very delicious..."
He was very kind and even helped other vendors attract customers.
Upon hearing the name "Little Sugar Man," Xiao Guozi's eyes immediately lit up.
How delicious is "very delicious"?
Meng Qizhou remained silent for the moment, his eyes fixed on the corner of the box.
One disobedient little ginseng fruit hadn't hidden itself properly at all.
The pointed little ears were still there, playfully wiggling back and forth.
Meng Qizhou deliberately sighed, seemingly dissatisfied, and said, "None of these resemble the ginseng fruit I lost. These ginseng fruits are exquisite and beautiful, but my ginseng fruit was ugly and quite unsightly..."
Little Fruit's ears immediately stopped, then suddenly popped up, standing straight up, as if it was angry.
ugly? !
He actually said she was ugly!
