Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Robbery

 "But you don't want to buy it?" After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from the person in charge, Wei Jingshu made a bold guess, frowned slightly, but was not annoyed. She looked at Wei Shiqi and said slowly, "Brother Shiqi, let's go to another store."

 After that, she was about to get up, but the person in charge hurriedly stopped them and said, "You two have misunderstood. Of course I will buy it, but I have to confirm the quality of this Ganoderma lucidum first."

 Wei Jingshu pushed the Ganoderma lucidum towards the person in charge, and her attitude showed that she had never suspected that the person in charge would cheat her.

 The person in charge secretly sighed at Wei Jingshu's innocence, and then felt lucky for Wei Jingshu that he still had some conscience and did not cheat people.

 After confirming that the Ganoderma lucidum was not a fake, the person in charge gave a fair price: "I want all three Ganoderma lucidum, and I can give you five thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

 Wei Shiqi took a breath and was shocked by this shocking number. It was the first time he heard so much money in his seventeen years.

 Wei Jingshu, who had no concept of money at all, looked at Wei Shiqi, trying to get an answer from Wei Shiqi to see if the price was fair.

 Wei Shiqi nodded imperceptibly, and then took the Ganoderma from the person in charge without changing his expression, put it away carefully, and said seriously: "One hand pays, the other hand delivers."

 He was able to take out three Ganoderma at once, which meant he was a big customer.

 The person in charge wanted to make friends, so he stayed to accompany him and sent others to get the banknotes.

 "I see that you two are still young, but you can already take out so many Ganoderma. I think you have some ways. To be honest, except for Ganoderma, we accept all kinds of medicinal materials. If you can give me some Ganoderma and ginseng regularly, I can also give other medicinal materials twice the price of the market."

 Wei Jingshu didn't listen carefully to what the person in charge said, but drank the tea on the table carefully.

 The cup for tea was small and exquisite, with green bamboo painted on it. When it was empty, the bamboo body was black, but when tea was poured into it, the bamboo body would turn green, lifelike, and jump out of the cup.

 The color of the tea was slightly lighter, and it didn't smell any different, but when you drink it, you can smell a faint bamboo fragrance. Wei Jingshu showed her country bumpkin spirit to the extreme, and drank a few cups in a row. She felt full and stopped with a little regret, wanting to drink a few more cups.

 Although she had never drunk alcohol, she was slightly tipsy. Wei Jingshu stared at the tea cup blankly, her mouth unconsciously opened.

 Wei Shiqi was still practicing Tai Chi with the person in charge.

 "If you can give out Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng at will, these two would not be so precious. Is that right, boss?"

 Wei Shiqi smiled lightly, and never showed humility to the person in charge.

 The person in charge laughed heartily: "My friend, you are right. I like your personality and hope to make friends."

 "It's our honor." Wei Shiqi clasped his fists to the person in charge, glanced at Wei Jingshu, and found that she was still staring at the tea cup in a daze. He felt a little disappointed and bumped into Wei Jingshu.

 Wei Jingshu came back to her senses, still in a daze, and could only vaguely imitate Wei Shiqi's behavior. The words Wei Shiqi had just said seemed to come to her mind. She stared and thought for a while, then became gentle and calm: "It is our honor."

 At this time, the servant brought a silver note of five thousand taels.

 The silver note hit a small box. The box was plain and unadorned, with only an exquisite small lock. The person in charge opened the box, held the key, and pushed the silver note in front of the two.

 Wei Shiqi took the initiative to take the job of starting the investigation, and Wei Jingshu guarded the ginseng. When she felt the impact on her hand, she gave the Ganoderma lucidum to the person in charge.

 The two said goodbye, and the person in charge personally sent them to the door and greeted them warmly: "Two young friends, remember to come to my place next time."

 Wei Jingshu waved without even looking up.

 "Sister Shu, how are you going to deal with so much silver?" Five thousand taels is a sum of money that many people cannot earn in their lifetime.

 "You and I will each take half." Lingzhi was not obtained by himself, but was brought down from the mountain by both of them. Naturally, it belongs to both of them, and half is reasonable.

 "Sister Shu, what do you mean?" Unexpectedly, this remark was misunderstood by Wei Shiqi. "How can I, Wei Shiqi, go so far as to cheat a woman out of money? This is your money, and I will definitely not take it."

 Wei Shiqi's steps became faster, as if he was a little annoyed.

 Brother Shiqi is really strange, what is there to be angry about?

 Wei Jingshu felt puzzled, and trotted to catch up with Wei Shiqi's steps, looking up and explaining: "This is what we brought down from the mountain. You and I found it together, and you dug it up. Shouldn't we split it equally?"

 She asked out of curiosity, frowning and said: "Or does Brother Shiqi think that we have reached the point where we must have this money?"

 "I don't mean that, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain at all. If it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago, how could I have seen so much money? So I can't take it."

 The two of them discussed whether Wei Shiqi should take the money, and they didn't notice that there were two little tails following behind them.

 When the two passed by an alley, the discussion still had no result, but the two who had followed them all the way suddenly took action, and they each dealt with one, and both held weapons in their hands. The

 two were one tall and one short. The tall one dealt with Wei Shiqi, and the short one faced Wei Jingshu.

 When danger approached, Wei Jingshu reacted very quickly to avoid the dagger, grabbed the short man's hand and twisted it. The short man's face immediately twisted, but he resisted the urge to scream.

 The tall man was also startled by this reaction, but he quickly calmed down, and put the knife firmly on Wei Shiqi's neck. He raised his hand and cut it, and blood immediately flowed out.

 The tall man stared at Wei Jingshu fiercely: "If you want him alive, follow us into the alley."

 "Let me go!" The short man added.

 Wei Jingshu glanced at the hostage Wei Shiqi, and a hint of emotion flashed across her eyes. She immediately threw the short man away and walked into the alley first.

 "Whatever you want to do, come to me, don't embarrass her, a weak woman." In the face of danger, Wei Shiqi did not forget to protect Wei Jingshu.

 The short man's hand was still hurting. Wei Jingshu's swift move just now still made him feel dizzy and numb. He spat, "Stop talking nonsense. Worry about yourself first."

 "Brother Shiqi, don't talk." Wei Shiqi was stopped by Wei Jingshu before he could speak.

 The little girl was safe and sound, but he, a grown man, became a big flaw. Wei Shiqi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but when he thought of Wei Jingshu's terrifying strength, he felt relieved.

 You can't compare Shujie with ordinary people.

 After walking to the middle of the alley, the two stopped Wei Jingshu.

 The tall man's knife was still on Wei Shiqi's neck, and he stated his purpose: "We just saw you coming out of Wuchun Hall. Are you going to sell medicine?"

 The tall man was sure that Wei Jingshu and the other man had a lot of money on them: "If you want him to live, hand over the money, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

 As he spoke, the tall man raised his hand again, and the knife in his hand was pointed at Wei Shiqi's face.
