When Li Xia heard what Ying Niang said, she blinked and raised her hand to point at herself, "Looking for me? Female shopkeeper, what is it that has brought you and Brother Zhou to come to me with such a large force?"
She blinked blankly.
Shouldn't things between them be resolved?
There shouldn't be anything else.
Why would Yingniang tell me that she had something to talk to me about?
Li Xia frowned and thought about it.
She really couldn't figure out what they wanted from her.
What's more, they didn't come alone, but brought so many people with them, so it shouldn't be a trivial matter.
Li Xia bit her lip.
Another possibility suddenly flashed through her mind.
It couldn’t be that Zhou Ping felt that their previous deal was not a good deal for him.
So if you regret it, you want to go back on it.
Even if they regretted it, there was nothing they could do now because most of the herbs had been taken away by her to save people.
It's too late to regret now.
If they asked her to take back the herbs, she wouldn't be able to do so, as many of them had already gone into the stomachs of the people.
"Female shopkeeper, are you here this time regarding those two truckloads of medicinal materials?" Li Xia swallowed and asked tentatively.
Anyway, no matter whether this is possible or not.
They have already completed the transaction and it is done today.
Even if they regretted it now, it would be impossible for them to produce those medicinal herbs intact for no reason.
"Miss Li, don't worry. Although we are rough people, we know how to keep our promises. Since Brother Zhou has promised you to give you those herbs, we will definitely not ask you for them again. You can rest assured about this. There is no need to worry about it."
After all, Yingniang had been in a brothel before, and had already developed a keen eye for identifying people.
When she saw Li Xia's expression, she knew what she was worried about.
Yingniang curled her lips, chuckled, and spoke to Lixia with her mouth open.
In fact, from his point of view, if they suddenly came to her without saying hello in advance and just suddenly appeared in front of her, she would also think that this was possible.
So Yingniang didn't say anything about Li Xia's misunderstanding.
Instead, he assured her that the worrying situation she had imagined would never occur.
Although the profession they are engaged in is despicable, they are still more loyal than many people and know how to keep their promises.
In fact, if it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to risk imprisonment and go into the mountains to become a bandit?
Since the imperial court did nothing, various forces wanted to get a piece of the pie.
The war continues and no one knows when it will end.
Their homes were destroyed by the war.
There is really no other way. They have no other strengths and no one to support them.
You can't rely on anyone but yourself.
Of course, everything is their own choice. Although they were forced to do so, they have no regrets.
after all.
If they had not taken this path and had not thought about the future imprisonment, it would have been difficult for them to survive until now.
When a person is forced into a desperate situation, cannibalism may occur.
Xiao Yihe overheard the conversation between Li Xia and Ying Niang. When he heard them talking about medicinal herbs, his brows slightly frowned.
"What medicinal herbs..."
He pursed his lips and muttered softly.
Some guesses flashed through my mind.
"Madam Shopkeeper, with your words, I can put my worries aside." When Li Xia heard Ying Niang's words, she also put her worries aside.
In fact, through her interactions with Zhou Ping, she got to know him a little better.
Although Zhou Ping doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is still a reliable person and not the kind of person who would stab others in the back.
Although Li Xia had this guess in her mind just now, she was subconsciously unwilling to believe that possibility.
Judging from how much Zhou Ping cares about Ying Niang.
If he felt that it was not worth it and that he had suffered a loss that day, he could have just waited until he was on the mountain and then gone back on his word. There was no need to risk being discovered and bring people here on this trip today.
"Female shopkeeper, since it has nothing to do with that matter, then you said that you and Brother Zhou came to see me with something important to tell me. What exactly is it that made you make this special trip?" Li Xia blinked and asked with her mouth open.
The main thing was that she really racked her brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Miss Li, don't ask any more questions. Just settle this young master down first. Brother Zhou and I will talk to you later."
Yingniang blinked, looked up at her and said.
Originally, this was a matter between the two of them, so it didn't seem right for her to talk about it alone.
Yingniang still wanted to wait for Zhou Ping to resolve the issue there, and then the two of them would tell Lixia the good news together.
Li Xia pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Okay, OK."
The way she looked at Yingniang, she thought it shouldn't be a bad thing.
She wanted to tell him later, and Li Xia didn't insist on asking him questions.
"Miss Li, please wait here for a moment. I'll go get the horse."
Yingniang said, blinking her eyes.
She had to go and talk to Zhou Ping, and she would first send Miss Li and the others to where she lived.
To save him from worrying, she just told him that they could come together after he had sorted out his own issues.
"Okay, female shopkeeper, then you can tell Brother Zhou later that I live in the first inn on the left. When he arrives, he only needs to tell the shopkeeper my name. If the shopkeeper is not there, tell the waiter. I have lived there for a few days and have become familiar with the people in the inn. Yesterday, I set up a stall here for the first time to dispense medicine. At first, many people did not believe me and thought I was a liar. It was the shopkeeper of the inn where I lived who first stepped forward and expressed his belief in me.
