Fortunately, Du Yuqi also knew a weakness of the bloodthirsty cat demon at this time, which was that he loved salt very much! So Du Yuqi talked to Xueya about this. Xueya was definitely not satisfied at first, but after Du Yuqi promised to bring back three bags of salt, he also told Xueya that he would definitely come back because he had companions missing and had to find them... Xueya should also know that Du Yuqi valued his companions very much. After a moment of silence, he was moved and took the initiative to escort Du Yuqi and his companions to the river to go into the water.
There were no major problems along the way. The kayaks and other items prepared by Du Yuqi were all high-end products, and the river was not very turbulent. He went ashore far away near Pivaro, then easily paid for a ride and came to this prosperous place.
After finding a clean and tidy hotel, Du Yuqi settled Jet down, and then asked the waiter in the hotel to boil a large pot of water for him. After the water was ready, he changed the bandage on Jet's wound, cleaned it, and asked Changmei to take care of him. He bought the medicine Jet needed according to the list given by Changmei. Although it was already dark at this time, this place can be said to be a city that never sleeps. It is still very prosperous and bustling with people coming and going everywhere, so Du Yuqi is not afraid of the shops closing.
"Well, we have the Spiritual Stimulant Elixir here, but the Secret Medicine of the Sky Curtain seems to be out of stock. You need to go to Hibbert's Grocery Store to the west to check out the Mare's Milk. The Hawkeye Potion is still available... So, if you calculate it this way, thank you for your patronage. It will cost you 17,400 gold coins, plus 100 gold coins for packaging. You have to wait here for ten minutes, because the Spiritual Stimulant Elixir can only be kept at room temperature for ten days without deteriorating. So if you need to store it for a long time, it must be stored in a special ice wax, and we have to melt it before we can send it to you."
Du Yuqi nodded, threw out the gold coins, took back the list, waited for ten minutes, put the purchased medicines into the dimensional ring, and walked out again.
But after going out, Du Yuqi suddenly felt something was wrong, because there was a dark and thin man following him for a long time! Du Yuqi had noticed him before, but considering that it might be an accidental encounter, he ignored him. But now that he had spent a lot of time in this shop, he was still there, so the possibility of an accidental encounter was almost zero.
Du Yuqi always strangled this kind of unstable factor in the cradle, not to mention that he would have to leave the seriously injured Jet and Meimei behind after he left? So he looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly walked towards a dark and deserted alley next to him, and then pretended to pull down his pants to urinate.
Sure enough, the dark and thin man followed directly, with a sharp light flashing in his hand, which was obviously a knife. Then he tiptoed over and directly stabbed Du Yuqi with the knife, aiming at the neck. This guy was also cruel enough, and he directly stabbed the vital part with the knife, which was simply the rhythm of robbing money and killing.
Since the opponent's attack was so vicious, Du Yuqi's attack must have been tit-for-tat. When the opponent's knife seemed to be about to cut his neck, he suddenly kicked back, and his heel hit the guy's ** cleanly and neatly.
At this moment, Du Yuqi felt two things popping open on the back of his heels. The thin and dark man opened his mouth wide and let out a series of meaningless sounds from his throat. The knife in his hand fell to the ground and he slowly collapsed to the ground, covering his crotch and twitching in pain.
This incident was just a small episode. Du Yuqi naturally increased his vigilance and discovered that although the town of Pivaro seemed prosperous, it was actually full of blood and danger behind the prosperity. It could be said that it was a place where filth and dirt were hidden. He had only walked a few hundred meters away from this place, and there were several guys with bad intentions on the road. At the same time, there was a bloody smell coming from the alley next to it.
However, the big businessmen completely ignored this situation. They all rode in noble and luxurious carriages, and were guarded by professionals wearing standard armor. They were in completely different worlds from these people, so they naturally ignored the existence of all this.
Next, Du Yuqi came to Hibbert's grocery store, but the door was closed. Although there was a light inside, after knocking several times, he heard shouting and cursing from inside. Du Yuqi could only shrug his shoulders to show that he had given up. Then he went to several more shops, but these shops were open, but they did not have kumis. In other words, this Hibbert's grocery store actually had a monopoly on kumis!
That is to say, under normal circumstances, Du Yuqi would have to wait until tomorrow morning to get the kumis, which would waste twelve hours. Du Yuqi certainly was unwilling to accept this situation. After thinking about it, he walked into the alley and randomly grabbed someone to ask. The result made him feel very bad. It turned out that the Hibbert Grocery Store had been closed for two days. In this case, the probability of it opening tomorrow morning was even lower.
When he thought of this, Du Yuqi made up his mind, covered his face and jumped over the wall to force his way in. Naturally, he met the guards inside. The quality of the guards of this business was quite high, and there were even professionals. They immediately surrounded him, scolding and shouting in a very professional manner.
However, courage alone was obviously not enough to deal with Du Yuqi. He waved his scabbard and easily knocked away and broke the weapons of the guards. Immediately, more than half of the people who knew the goods broke out in cold sweat and retreated.
There were a few people who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Du Yuqi didn't have the energy to deal with them. In no time, he made them roll on the ground, screaming in pain. With one final kick, he kicked the guy who spoke rudely and cursed, and he flew more than ten meters away, rolled several times, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted in front of the host who had hurried over.
The owner of the house was a bearded man with a sullen face. He was able to keep his composure in this situation. Of course, he was already giving in when he spoke:
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Du Yuqi sneered and threw out a purse filled with clinking imperial gold coins:
"I am just a customer, and I want to buy five bags of kumis."
The bearded man didn't even look at the money bag, but waved his hand at the people around him and said:
“Go get the goods.”
Soon, five bags of mare's milk were brought. Because Jet and Changchang still had to recover from their injuries here, in order to protect their safety, Du Yuqi sneered, suddenly drew his knife, aimed at a side house next to him and chopped it down. After a flash of the knife, he sheathed it and said lightly:
"I'm sorry to bother you today. If there is no trouble in the future, I will come back to repair this house."
After saying this, Du Yuqi took the kumis and turned away as if no one was around. When he reached the door, the side house that he had hit finally made a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight, shook a few times and then collapsed with a loud bang, with dust rising!
The corners of the bearded man's eyes trembled a few times. Of course, he could hear the threat in Du Yuqi's words. The so-called repairing the house in the future when there is no trouble, the subtext is that if there is trouble, then I will come back to kill people! Although he believed that he could hire someone to deal with this mysterious man, any successful businessman would not act on impulse, but pay attention to cost.
Strictly speaking, the mysterious man only caused him to lose five bags of kumis and a semi-new house, but the mysterious man also threw a bag over, and the value of the property in it was almost as much as his own loss.
If he couldn't swallow his anger and asked someone to help him, if he won a big victory, he would have to pay a commission to the person who helped him. The cost was already staggering. What's more important was that if he lost, that mysterious person definitely didn't seem to be a good man. If he retaliated forcefully, the loss would be impossible to assess.
It is said that harmony brings wealth, so if you think from a businessman's perspective, there is definitely no need to fight a battle where you will suffer a medium loss if you win and a big loss if you lose. Du Yuqi has also analyzed the businessman's thinking mode, so he took action to establish his authority.
