Chapter 24
Shopkeeper Hu immediately paid the two thousand taels of silver bills, and the twelve taels were exchanged into pieces of silver and copper coins according to their request.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling thanked each other and got up to leave.

"It's really great, it sold for a good price! Aya, you are amazing!" Hu Ling grinned and gave a thumbs up.

Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Now our hands are much looser!"

"Yes!"

1000 taels of silver may seem like a lot, but a considerable part of it will be spent immediately.

The two of them had to buy two ganoderma lucidums for business, and planned to buy 60 to [-] year olds.

First, I found a pharmacy, who was not kind, and tried to cheat them because they didn’t understand anything. They asked for 1000 taels for one plant, and finally expressed their sympathy for them with great heartache, and gave them a discount, only 400 taels for one plant.

Without saying a word, the two turned around and left at the same time.

I finally found a reliable one, bought two about 50 years old, and spent 250 taels.It was about the same price as that guy Yu Qingtang said.

If it wasn't for selling and buying at the same time, it would definitely make people suspicious, so they simply bought it in Yu Qingtang.

After shopping, the two of them hired a car back to Gaolian County the next morning and did not buy anything else in the provincial capital.

It's too far away to take it, but you can also buy it in the county.

Unexpectedly, the luck was not very good, there was a landslide on the way, the whole road was blocked, and there was no way to pass, God knows how long it would take to wait.

The hired coachman was unwilling to wait here with them, and they didn't want to go back to the provincial capital, so they paid half of the fare here, and the coachman turned around and went back to the provincial capital. It is also possible to hire a bullock cart from a nearby village to go back to the county.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them reached the top of the mountain, a dark cloud floated in the sky, and after a while, it began to rain heavily.

Driving in the mountains in heavy rain is very dangerous and easy to get lost.

Fortunately, they saw a mountain temple not far away, and the two rushed to shelter from the rain.

Not long after they arrived at the mountain temple, they heard the sound of horseshoes, and a group of seven or eight people came to the mountain temple on horseback, got off their horses in front of the temple, and entered the temple to shelter from the rain.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other with a calm face, but secretly vigilant in their hearts.

The other party obviously didn't expect to meet a strange pair of young men and women here, and was slightly taken aback, but soon relieved.

On rainy days, it's normal to bump into people while sheltering from the rain.

It's not easy to dress up as a man, it's fine for a while, and it's easy to reveal your secrets. Zhao Liya has changed back to women's clothes.This world is not so chaotic, and with Hu Ling as his companion, who would dare to make random decisions?
Besides, I thought I would be able to go home today in a carriage.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with them, so they cleared a place opposite them and sat down, talking in a low voice, except for looking at them when they first came in, there was no abnormal behavior.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader on the opposite side is a young man in his twenties, with handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, thin lips slightly pursed, and a handsome face with cold and hard lines. His scalp was so tight that he dared not look directly at him.

He didn't have any extra decorations all over his body, the jade hairpin that tied his hair looked simple and plain, and the material of the clothes seemed ordinary, but it was not simple upon closer inspection.

When he just stepped in, Zhao Liya looked up subconsciously, and inadvertently met his gaze, which was as sharp as a sword, which almost made her lose her composure and change her face.

It was with great difficulty that she tried hard to make herself look back with a dull face as if there was no wave.

Zhao Liya thought to herself, this person must be very rich, maybe his status is not ordinary.

Such people cannot be messed with, the best way is to stay away.

Zhao Liya couldn't help looking at the rain, praying that the rain would stop soon.

The faces of the children in June change as soon as they say it. They thought that the sudden rain like this would stop after a while, and it would be clean and tidy. They didn't expect it to look like this, as if there was no intention to stop.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened, the rain continued unabated, a layer of wet mist floated in the mountains, and the vision became more and more blurred.

Hu Ling whispered to Zhao Liya: "What should we do? Are we going to spend the night here tonight?"

The coachman showed them the way. From here, they climbed over the mountains and walked along the widest mountain road. They would encounter a village within ten miles.

At that time, it will not be a problem to hire a donkey or ox cart in the village, and I will definitely be able to return to Gaolian County before dark.

Now I regret it, I knew I would not take shelter from the rain, who knew it would rain for so long?It's getting dark now, and the fog has risen, so I dare not take the risk of wandering around.

If it's just the two of them, it doesn't matter if they just make do with one night here, the weather is actually safer in this kind of weather.But who would have expected to meet a group of strangers by such a coincidence.

Zhao Liya was absent-minded: "That can't be helped, just stay overnight."

A cold light flashed, and a sharp flying knife shot out, and it nailed to Zhao Liya's side with a sound of "Zheng!"The momentum was too fast, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were so stupid that they didn't react at all!

When Zhao Liya screamed "Ah!", the flying knife was nailed to her side!
"What are you doing—" Hu Ling stood up abruptly, and his sharp questioning got stuck in an instant. A snake covered in black and white flowers was writhing on the ground, and its abdomen was firmly nailed to the ground by a flying knife.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling's expressions changed, and they were startled.

If it wasn't for this flying knife, Zhao Liya would have been in trouble.Although they didn't know what kind of snake it was, the color looked weird, and it probably wasn't a kind snake.

Zhao Liya stood up, collected herself, nodded gratefully at the young master, and said, "Thank you, son!"

Zhou Hansheng glanced at her and nodded slightly, then replied after a pause: "You're welcome."

A follower beside him rushed over, took the throwing knife back, grabbed the snake by the seven inches and threw it to death, he said with a smile: "Young Master is the best, this speed, this accuracy, no one else!"

Several entourages and subordinates laughed and echoed.

The attendant raised his eyebrows at Zhao Liya again, and said with a smile: "The girl is also very brave, she didn't scream in fright, I even covered my ears!"

Not only did his brothers laugh and scold at these words, but Zhao Liya and Hu Ling couldn't help laughing too.

Thanks to that snake, the atmosphere in the mountain temple is not so clear-cut, and it has become much more active and relaxed.

Zhao Liya smiled: "I was also scared, but the young master shot too fast and didn't have time to scream. When I react and see what's going on, I won't be afraid anymore."

She casually sent a good person card: "You are really good people!"

The few good people seemed to have never been praised as "good people", so they froze for a moment and laughed.

There was a tacit understanding. Everyone didn't curiously ask each other's identity, where they came from, etc. They couldn't help complaining about the unpredictable weather that caught people off guard.
