the next day.
Su Qin took Xiaotian to the medicinal materials market in Yunshan Town.
I have already identified the medicinal herbs in the catalogue, so of course I want to smell the scent of these medicines.
Su Qin's idea was to let Xiaotian go to Yunshan alone to collect medicine, while he... ahem, continue fishing.
From a distance, Su Qin saw seven bamboo poles standing at the entrance of the market, with seven pickled human heads on them.
As usual, a literate member of the Feiyu Gang read out the names of these people and what they had committed.
"Why so many?"
Su Qin frowned slightly. In the past, there were only one or two, and most of the time there were none, but today, the number suddenly increased to seven!
Not only the medicinal materials market, but also the fish market at the pier has seen more people hanging there these days.
This reminded Su Qin of the many civilians who lined up at the gate of Yunshan Prefecture a month ago to enter the city.
"Are you looking for wealth in danger? Do you want to take a chance before the war spreads to the entire Yunshan Mansion?"
"But it's still early..."
Although gangs are now oppressing and exploiting people and making them miserable, life can still be managed, and the common people have just tolerated it and are unwilling to rebel.
Only when you really can't survive and have no way to survive will you rise up and resist.
'Perhaps what is lacking now is a drought or a flood. '
After all, these are not things Su Qin should consider. He has never thought about becoming a grass-head king in troubled times, nor has he had the ambition to compete for hegemony among the heroes.
These are so eye-catching!
Moreover, there are immortal cultivators in this world. Who knows whether the royal family of Yue Kingdom was supported by any immortal cultivator?
One mistake can lead to the death of someone else's soul.
'With the methods of those cultivators, the dead souls don't even know if they have to do it. '
Su Qin was about to take Xiaotian into the medicinal materials market, when suddenly a group of Feiyu Gang members rushed in at the entrance of Yunshan Town.
The person leading it is none other than Wan Huaichang!
He was holding a round package dripping with blood in his hand, with a proud and cruel chuckle on his face.
Wherever he passed, the crowd dispersed, looking frightened.
Especially those who collected herbs, their faces instantly turned pale when they looked at the package dripping with blood.
"Hahaha, Brother Su, you're fine!"
Wan Huaichang spotted Su Qin at a glance because Xiaotian, a strange beast, was so recognizable in Yunshan Town.
"Elder Wan..."
Su Qin simply clasped his fists and looked at the bloody package, already guessing that it contained the head of an herbal collector.
Seeing this, Wan Huaichang picked up the package and said proudly:
"This man secretly took a piece of frost grass and ran to a neighboring county to sell it. He thought no one would notice, but he didn't know that there were informants from my Feiyu Gang in the surrounding counties. He was really asking for his own death."
"Brother Su, you don't know. In recent days, there have been quite a few people hiding herbal medicines and selling them in other places. I almost died from exhaustion."
"oh?"
Su Qin looked surprised, "Is there anyone still escaping outside waiting for Elder Wan to catch him?"
"This is the last one known so far. I believe these eight heads can keep these unscrupulous herb collectors in peace for a while... They are actually causing trouble for me."
Su Qin secretly sighed in his heart, "I missed it."
Then Wan Huaichang boasted that he had captured this person and those before him, and then he left with satisfaction and asked his men to pickle the heads in their hands and hang them up.
Only by bragging in front of an equal martial artist like Su Qin and not a member of the gang, Wan Huaichang can get a unique sense of satisfaction.
Su Qin glanced at Wan Huaichang who walked under the bamboo pole to admire his work and thought about something.
Then he took Xiaotian to Feiyu Gang's medicine shop, which was the only place where rare medicinal herbs were sold.
"Master Su."
As soon as I walked in, the store manager ran over.
"I'm just going to take a look, you can go about your business." Su Qin waved his hand to tell him not to disturb him.
"Hey, take your time and see for yourself." The steward stepped back again.
Su Qin walked around in the medicine store, picking up a herb from time to time, and Xiaotian would move his nose to remember the smell.
The steward had been watching carefully, and he noticed that each of the medicinal materials Su Qin picked up was worth more than five taels.
'It's a pity that those really expensive and rare medicinal materials, such as Fire Cloud Grass, will not be sold, but will be dedicated to the Zhao family. '
After they all recognized each other, Su Qin took Xiaotian away.
In Nanshan Juli, Su Qin grabbed Xiaotian's dog head and asked:
"Remember, come back in the evening and remember everything before?"
"Ouch!"
Xiao Tian whimpered.
"Okay, let's go!" Su Qin slapped Xiaotian, who came to the wall and jumped out lightly.
Su Qin raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was only noon at this time, "You can still go fishing."
…
In the days that followed, Su Qin went boating on the lake as usual every day, fishing in the morning, and catching shrimps and crabs in the afternoon to take to the Yushan Tavern.
Only occasionally at night, there will be an extra rare herb in the house.
Su Qin did not let Xiaotian go up the mountain every day, but occasionally let him go boating on the lake with him.
Of course, one 'Animal Control Pill' every day is essential.
Until this day.
With a slight smile on his face, Su Qin took Xiaotian back from the lake by boat.
"I'm lucky today. Another rare fish can be added to the small pond."
Su Qin parked the boat. The young official in soap clothes had been waiting for a long time. Now Su Qin also knew the name of this young official in soap clothes, Wang Sanxi.
"Master Su, let me help you."
Wang Sanxi jumped on the fishing boat and helped Su Qin fish out the shrimps and crabs from the fish hold. Then he picked up the basin, scooped up a basin of water, and carefully put the rare fish inside into the basin.
It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.
Su Qin was of course happy and free. He glanced at the dock out of habit and saw five bamboo poles.
"Has anyone been arrested again?"
When he came out of the lake in the morning, he only had four bamboo poles, but now he has five.
"Hey, yes...but ours is still less than that at the medicinal materials market. I took a look when I passed by there today, and there were six bamboo poles."
"I also saw Manager Wan leading someone out again. Maybe there will be another bamboo pole over there tomorrow."
Wang Sanxi picked up the fish basket and talked nonchalantly.
Su Qin's heart moved. After three months, he finally had the opportunity!
In the past three months, although Wan Huaichang went out to hunt many times, he did not deliberately inquire about them.
Moreover, he had never deliberately gotten close to Wan Huaichang, he was just an acquaintance, so that when Wan Huaichang died, no one would associate him with Liu Yishou's death and doubt himself.
Su Qin carried the basin back to Nanshan Residence as usual and put the fish into the pond.
Then he boiled water and soaked it with life-saving powder, and practiced Guoshan Quan for an hour.
Finally, he took Xiaotian to Yushan Tavern for dinner.
Nothing is different, everything is the same as usual.
Until night falls!
