Chapter 158 Breaking the Trick
The Ghostly Prison.
The eighth-level district is Nanhuozhai.
Half a month later, the two sides met again.
Wu Feng has been worried these days that Yun Fu and the others might suddenly change their minds and not come to trade.
Then all the things he has been busy with during this period have been in vain.
"You two are punctual. I like to do business with people who are punctual. However, we agreed to trade our supplies for five thousand kilograms of Black Gold Stone. Now, I have the Black Gold Stone ready, but where are the supplies from Miss Yun and Master Qi? Why haven't I seen any sign of them?"
Wu Feng glanced behind the two men and saw no horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts, not even a single figure. He immediately became angry and said, "Are you two kidding me?"
Yun Fu opened her backpack and casually pulled out an old ginseng of excellent size and appearance. "This ginseng is between seven and eight hundred years old and is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. I don't need me to calculate how much food a thousand taels of silver can buy. I think the Wu Village Master should be able to figure it out."
Wu Feng stared at the ginseng, his eyes glowing.
This thing can't be sold for a good price in the Ghost Prison, but he can sell it outside through the Xie family's secret connection in the Ghost Prison.
The Xie family has connections outside.
At this moment, Wu Feng's round eyes were fixed on the backpack in Yun Fu's hand. He noticed that the strangely shaped package seemed to contain other medicinal herbs.
This woman is so stupid that she doesn't even know the simple principle of not showing off your wealth.
It’s not that Yun Fu doesn’t understand this principle, but since she dared to take out these medicinal herbs, she didn’t worry about others snatching them away from her.
It was like, since she dared to come today, she was not afraid of him playing tricks on her.
"You've seen the stuff. When do we start trading? Oh, and before we do, I also want to see that five thousand jin black gold stone."
"Of course." A shrewd light flashed in Wu Feng's eyes. He was looking for no reason to trick them into falling into his trap.
It seems that even God is helping me.
"Please come this way, I'll take you to inspect the goods."
"Some of the goods have already been shipped out of the mine, but I have limited manpower here. Some of the goods are still in the mine and will be shipped out soon. If you don't mind, you can come with me to the mine to take a look."
A sly glint flashed across Yun Fu's lively eyes, and she raised the corners of her mouth: "Okay, let's go and take a look together!"
Let me see what you are up to.
The mine was a bit dark, and after entering, they could only rely on the light of torches for lighting.
Yun Fu could feel the tense body of someone next to her.
It seemed that he also realized that the man surnamed Wu had no good intentions in bringing them to visit the mine.
Yun Fu's small hand slid into his palm, and her fingers gently tapped the warm palm a few times, suggesting that he relax.
The mine was very deep. Even after walking a long way, I still couldn't see the end.
Yun Fu asked, "How far is it?"
Wu Feng tried to calm the man down: "We're almost there, just ahead."
The group walked deeper along the mined mine.
Just as Yun Fu was frowning in annoyance, a child's cry came from deep in the mine.
Perhaps because she has been with these little kids for a long time, Yunfu pays more attention to matters related to children.
"Did you hear the child crying?"
"Yes, it's just ahead."
Qi Hanzhou also heard the child crying.
Wu Feng stopped and asked, "Did you hear it wrong? This is a mine, how could there be a child crying?"
Yun Fu was sure that she had heard correctly, so she walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.
Qi Hanzhou held her wrist the whole time and followed her into the cave.
Both of them were completely focused on the child.
Without noticing, Wu Feng made a movement with his hands behind his back.
After he made that gesture, a loud noise suddenly came from the place where Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou were walking behind them, followed by an earthquake.
Qi Hanzhou instinctively pounced on Yun Fu and held her in his arms.
After the loud noise died down and everything returned to calm, Qi Hanzhou let go of the person in his arms.
Yun Fu twitched her lips slightly, her tone disdainful: "It seems that this is the trick that Wu came up with to trap us in this mine."
Behind the two of them, the child cried even louder, probably frightened by the noise.
Yun Fu stood up, a chill in her eyes: "He wants this child to die here too."
The two followed the sound and groped their way along the wall of the cave.
In the darkness, Qi Hanzhou was very adaptable. The two of them switched positions, with Yun Fu holding his hand and walking forward, and then he holding Yun Fu's hand and walking forward in turn.
Yun Fu carried a fire starter in her backpack, but this thing would be gone once used, so she wanted to use it sparingly.
Only when the child's crying was right in front of her did Yun Fu take out the fire starter.
The light from the tinderbox was not as bright as that from the torch. In the dim light, Yun Fu could only clearly see a large figure leaning against the cave wall in front of her, with a small figure in his arms.
Yun Fu wanted to squat down and get closer to take a closer look, but Qi Hanzhou grabbed her and said, "Wait, be careful, there might be something fishy going on."
Yun Fu knew his concern and explained, "Her breathing was very weak. She must have been injured or had some serious illness. Given her current physical condition, there's no way she could hurt me."
As for the child, a tiny little ball, it was even more impossible.
Qi Hanzhou let go of his hand only after making sure there was no danger.
Yun Fu moved closer, holding a tinderbox in one hand and checking the adult's condition with the other. She first confirmed the adult's gender, which was a female.
The child in the woman's arms stopped crying when he saw someone coming, and called out "Mom" twice in his little voice that was hoarse from crying.
Yun Fu speculated that this should be a mother and son.
The woman's breath was very weak. Because the light was too dim, Yun Fu groped for a long time before noticing that the woman's wounds were concentrated on her wrists. The wounds were uneven and should not have been caused by sharp weapons such as swords.
Yun Fu didn't have time to think about what tool caused these wounds, and started to save people.
"You are lucky to have met me."
Yun Fu’s idea was very simple. If this woman died, the child would become a motherless child.
She knew how much Qi Yu and the other little kids missed their mother.
She first handed the child in the woman's arms to Qi Hanzhou: "You hold him first."
He treated the woman's wound as quickly as possible, took out a water bag from his backpack, and fed the semi-conscious woman some water.
The child seemed to understand that Yun Fu and the other two strangers who suddenly appeared were trying to save his mother, so he lay obediently on Qi Hanzhou's shoulder and calmed down.
