The old Chinese medicine doctor was an impatient man; he snatched the cloth bag from Yun Zihao's hand and opened it.
Sure enough, there was a ginseng root inside, probably a hundred years old.
The old Chinese medicine doctor stroked his beard and chuckled, "Your sister is really generous!"
"Such a fine ginseng root, and you're just giving it to me like this."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zihao wanted to chase after him.
He wouldn't dare accept something so good.
The old Chinese medicine doctor quickly pulled him back: "What are you doing?"
This is exactly the kind of good stuff we need right now.
I'll make it up to her next time we meet.
Yun Zihao was caught in a dilemma, holding the ginseng.
How much is this thing worth?
"No matter how much it's worth, we'll talk about it later."
After Yun Xiaoxiao and her group came out, they went straight back.
Fan Tiesheng asked, "Shall we go for a walk?"
It's rare for me to come down the mountain.
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, we need to go back quickly."
Didn't you hear Brother Zihao repeatedly telling us to hurry up the mountain?
This proves that things are very chaotic down below the mountain.
Fan Tiesheng looked puzzled: "But we didn't see anything messy there."
Yun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "By the time you can see where things are messy, it's already beyond recognition how messy they are."
Amu nodded: "Listen to Xiaoxiao, hurry back up the mountain."
Fan Tiesheng was somewhat reluctant; he wanted to wander around.
This was my first time coming down the mountain, and I was quite curious.
Yuan Min tugged at his clothes: "Brother Tiesheng, is there something you want to buy?"
We have everything we need on the mountain, so let's not buy anything.
Let's hurry back up the mountain.
"I heard Zihao say it was very serious, he wouldn't lie to us."
Yun Tiechui chimed in, "Tiesheng, stop making a scene. Let's hurry back up the mountain."
"Things are indeed a bit unsettled down here."
After speaking, he gestured with his eyes.
Fan Tiesheng followed his gaze.
There were several people looking around, as if they were searching for something.
Although he was very curious, he wisely kept quiet.
The group left the town in one breath and arrived at a deserted road.
He finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Yuan Shitou frowned and said, "Something seems off about this town."
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with him, I just have a feeling.
Amu also said, "It feels like there are many eyes watching us."
Fan Tieniu squeezed the spot where he had hidden his money:
"Are they after our money?"
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced behind her and said, "Let's hurry up and rest when we get to the mountain."
The group fell silent and quickly began to walk up the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the group finally sat down, as they were too exhausted to walk any further.
They ate the dry rations they had brought with them.
While looking back at the path they had just walked.
There was no one on the street, and it felt exceptionally quiet.
They no longer have the strength to climb the mountain.
I plan to replenish my energy before continuing.
When we went there, the baskets were full, but when we came back, they were empty.
I didn't buy anything.
Besides, they didn't know what to buy, since there was everything available on the mountain.
Another thing they fear most is that their money will be stolen.
Yun Xiaoxiao is not afraid of being stolen.
Because when she went out, she sewed a cloth bag the size of her palm.
It is tied with a rope and hung around the neck.
With clothes covering it, no one will discover the money inside.
Fan Tiesheng held the money for Yuan Min and the others.
Yuan Min was timid and had never seen so much money before.
Holding it in my hand makes me feel uneasy.
Afraid that she might lose it herself, she asked Fan Tiesheng to hold it.
As the group was resting together, they heard a sound coming from inside.
"They are here."
"Oh, you lot have really given us a hard time finding you."
Looking at the 20 or so people who suddenly appeared.
Yun Xiaoxiao's heart sank immediately.
They've encountered bandits.
About twenty people were holding wooden sticks.
The one at the very front had a blade of grass in his mouth.
He smirked and looked at them sideways, saying:
"You guys ran pretty fast, without even saying you'd wait for us."
What? You think you can escape like that?
Yuan Shitou stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to rob me?"
The man spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth and sneered:
"You're right, we are robbing people."
Hand over all your money, or you'll regret it.
Fan Tiesheng held a carrying pole in his hand, always on guard.
But his words were anything but gentle: "What if we don't give it to them?"
"If we don't give it to you, you might not be able to leave."
One of them, who had a small mustache, said, "Boss, don't waste your breath on him."
Just grab it directly.
"The sooner I get it, the sooner I can go home and enjoy it."
Another person said, "I just saw them carrying baskets full of fruit, and now every basket is empty. They must have made a lot of money."
Yuan Shitou and his men each carried a carrying pole, ready to fight at any moment.
It's impossible to get them to hand over the money they worked so hard to earn.
One of the thugs sneered, "Look at them."
They actually want to fight us? They must have a death wish.
The one who was biting the foxtail grass earlier looks like their leader.
He waved his hand and said, "Since they don't know what's good for them, then let's just rob them."
Leave those two women with me.
"Boss, it's been so long since I've had any meat."
As soon as he finished speaking, several of his henchmen rushed over.
Yuan Shitou and his gang were no pushovers either.
People who frequently run in the mountains also know a few moves.
However, since the other side outnumbered them, they were still at a disadvantage.
Yuan Shitou knew martial arts and was very strong.
One person can easily take on five.
But it's difficult for anyone else to take on two at once.
After all, these bandits and thugs are used to committing robberies, so they have experience.
The bandit leader didn't participate in the fight; he went straight to Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min's side.
Yuan Min held Yun Xiaoxiao's hand, her body trembling.
When had she ever seen anything like this? She was terrified.
The gang leader's first target was Yun Xiaoxiao.
With a wicked grin, he reached out to lift Yun Xiaoxiao's chin.
Yun Xiaoxiao grabbed his outstretched finger and flicked it away.
With a "snap," the gang leader's finger was severed.
He screamed in pain.
The commotion also attracted the attention of the people who were fighting.
Yuan Shitou was furious and shouted, "Xiao Xiao!"
Yun Xiaoxiao ignored him and directly demonstrated her current situation through her actions.
She grabbed the gang leader by the hair and slapped him twice across the face.
The gang leader was clutching his severed finger and wailing.
Suddenly, I was grabbed and slapped twice. While I was still in a daze, I was kicked in the stomach.
The pain was so intense that he felt as if his intestines were tied in knots.
It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he spat in anger.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me."
"I'll strip you naked if I don't do it in public."
Yuan Min was also startled by the small movement.
Upon hearing what the gang leader said, he grabbed the basket and threw it at him.
The gang leader kicked aside his basket and charged at Yuan Min.
Yuan Min screamed.
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly picked up the basket and slammed it over the head of the gang leader.
Their feet started targeting his groin area.
