Although she didn't know why these people recognized her as their clan leader, they were still considered one of their own!
She doesn't know how her daughter is doing inside. The only thing she can do outside is to make sure these people don't get into trouble!
So she poured the sugar and salt into a large bucket, and then made the Wu tribesmen come over and drink a little water every time they finished using the toilet!
The water had sugar and salt in it, making it both salty and sweet, and it tasted awful! But they knew it was for their own good! So they were quite obedient, and everyone came over to take a sip!
Although the diarrhea was worse after the first time they drank it, after that, with each sip, they felt as if a force was coursing through their bodies!
It felt like my Ren and Du meridians had been opened up, it was so comfortable!
There's way too much sugar and salt in this, and too little water, so it's a bit too salty, which is quite alarming!
Even with sugar and salt added, they could still taste the sweetness of the water!
They felt full of energy!
Meanwhile, the refugees who had been eyeing the food with predatory intent originally planned to wait until the refugees were exhausted before robbing them. However, they didn't expect that these people, after running to the toilet so many times, would become more energetic each time!
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so I didn't do anything all night, and before I knew it, it was dawn!
Lin Ru and the others got up early, waiting for the pharmacy to open so they could immediately go in and start selling medicine!
Upon seeing their attire, they immediately decided to haggle over the price!
Lin Ru frowned upon seeing their reaction.
She didn't want to waste any more words with this person. She lifted her outer robe, revealing the dagger inside!
"Are you going to take me or not? If not, I'm going to someone else's place!"
When the shopkeeper saw the dagger at Lin Ru's waist and then looked at these people, his brows seemed to be filled with murderous intent!
He immediately chickened out!
Moreover, very few people go up the mountain to collect herbs now. The herb gatherers from before have either left or fled, and they are indeed lacking a lot of herbs here!
Moreover, these people clearly have experience; the medicine was prepared very well.
The roots and leaves are also very well preserved!
If we send these people to other pharmacies, we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot!
So he had to suppress his little desire to take advantage of the situation!
Collect these people's medicine at the normal price!
The villagers were overjoyed as they looked at the money they had earned from selling medicine!
Then they brought out snake skins and snake gallbladders from their own homes, and the pharmacy accepted them at the normal price!
After selling everything here, they went to a shop that buys animal hides and sold the bear skin there too!
After we finish doing all that, we'll split into groups of ten and go off to buy what we need. We'll meet back at Anqian Inn in an hour!
Wu Ling and the others wanted to follow Lin Ru, but she refused!
She sent Wu Ling and the others to the west of the city to buy grain, while she went to the east of the city!
Although these people were somewhat worried about Lin Ru, they always remembered what Lin Ru had said before: never question her decisions!
So they had no choice but to obediently go to the west of the city with the Bai family, taking the money Lin Ru had given them!
Lin Ru went shopping alone in the east of the city!
Every time she went to a grain store, she would buy out all the grain in that store!
The shop assistant at the grain store was very puzzled when he saw the young girl!
"Young lady, what are you doing buying so much grain?"
"We don't have much grain left, only about 200,000 jin! And it's basically all refined rice left!"
"Now this fine rice costs 60 coins a pound! That's several times more than before!"
Are you sure you want them all?
Lin Ru nodded firmly upon hearing that the quantity was indeed small!
"I want it all! If there's any wheat flour, I'll buy it all too! I'm here to buy supplies for our village! Last year's harvest wasn't good! This year's grain hasn't come yet, and many people in the village have already starved to death!"
"Now that there's war going on, everyone thinks it's better to die well than to starve, so we've come to buy more food so that everyone can have enough to eat!"
Upon hearing this, the waiter couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Sigh, it's not easy for anyone! But we can't sell you all of our grain, we can only sell you 100,000 jin!"
"As for noodles, I can only give you 30,000 jin!"
"But can you handle it all by yourself?"
There must be about five hundred bags of these!
Lin Ru smiled and said, "Little brother, don't worry! First, help me transport these five hundred or so bags of grain to the entrance of that alley!"
"My family will come to find me!"
The waiter nodded.
"Precision is 60 copper coins per catty! You've bought 100,000 catties in total, which will cost 6,000 taels of silver!"
"Flour costs 80 copper coins per pound! You've bought 30,000 pounds, which will cost you a total of 2,400 taels of silver!"
"These two together cost 8400 taels of silver!"
As soon as he calculated the amount, he couldn't help but look at the little girl in her tattered clothes.
"Are you sure you need to buy so much? This is no small amount of money. Why don't you go back and discuss it with the villagers before coming back?"
Lin Ru shook her head and smiled as she took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels!
"We've already reached an agreement; there's no need for further discussion!"
The waiter was quite surprised to see such a large amount of silver notes for the first time!
He examined the banknote carefully, turning it over and over, and only after confirming that it was genuine did he have the grain brought out.
Lin Ru watched his actions with a smile. These banknotes were snatched from that corrupt official, so they couldn't be faked!
She hadn't expected that food had become so expensive.
Fortunately, she not only got some money from that landlord, but also robbed a huge amount of gold and silver treasures from the county magistrate!
After these people followed Lin Ru's instructions and delivered the items to a deserted alley, they all left!
Lin Ru stood there quietly until she could no longer see their backs and there was no one around her. Then she began to put these things into her spatial storage. After she finished, she went to the next grain shop!
She stopped buying from three grain shops in a row, fearing that if she continued, it would attract the attention of the county magistrate, making it difficult to leave!
After I finished buying the groceries, she started browsing the restaurants and bought all the dishes that were easy to pack, and in the largest quantities possible!
The restaurant owners were beaming with joy; it had been a long time since anyone had been so generous! But the chefs behind them weren't so happy; their arms were practically sparking with excitement as they swung them around!
After that, she went and bought pastries, candies, seasonings, and all sorts of sleeping pills, poisons, and wound medicines—she bought them all!
This delighted the pharmacies and pastry shops, as it was a clearance sale!
Then she went to the market and bought many large buckets, basins and other things!
I went to several other butcher shops nearby and bought all the meat they had!
She looked at the sun in the sky, and it was almost an hour. She hurried back, but the hustle and bustle by the roadside caught her attention!
