Chapter 33 The grand show she had planned hadn't even started yet!
When Pharmacist Zheng dispensed medicine, he was as distraught as if he had lost his beloved lover.
Pharmacist Zheng finished preparing the medicine and brought over the medicine packets, each wrapped in cloth and about the size of a five- or six-year-old child. He also had 120 taels of silver in his hand.
Zheng the Pharmacist felt a surge of excitement, his throat inexplicably dry, and he pleaded, "Please let me see that thousand-year-old ginseng one more time!"
Xia Mo shook her head, pointed to the large cloth bag, indicating that she should add it there, as she didn't have enough for herself.
Pharmacist Zheng Xizi gazed at Xia Mo with her heart in her hands.
It's really an eyesore for a man in his fifties to make such a gesture.
Xia Mo found it quite amusing, pointed to the mountain next to Anning Prefecture, patted his chest, and gestured.
Pharmacist Zheng understood immediately.
"You mean your thousand-year-old ginseng was dug up from that deep mountain, right?!" Pharmacist Zheng asked excitedly.
Xia Mo: "..." What she really wanted to say was that she would dig up more next time and then bring them to the pharmacy to exchange for money.
Dr. Xiaolin swallowed hard, still somewhat hesitant to look at Xia Mo. He said, "Pharmacist Zheng, does the young lady mean that if she finds it again next time, she'll sell it to our clinic?"
Pharmacist Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's good!"
Xia Mo waved to Pharmacist Zheng and Dr. Xiao Lin, indicating that she was leaving.
Dr. Kobayashi was so nervous that he stammered, "Wait a minute, don't go out through the main entrance. Go out through the side entrance of the clinic, then turn right and walk for a moment, and you'll reach the main street at the back entrance."
Xia Mo nodded with a smile in her eyes.
Xia Mo stopped in front of Dr. Lin, and with a flick of her wrist, a large Ganoderma lucidum appeared in her hand.
Dr. Kobayashi's heart was pounding uncontrollably as summer drew near, so he didn't notice Summer's behavior at all.
When Pharmacist Zheng, who was obsessed with medicine, saw the large Ganoderma lucidum that Xia Mo took out, his eyes lit up and he gasped.
"This...this...this is a rare and enormous Ganoderma lucidum! It's about the size of a plate and worth around five hundred taels of silver!"
Xia Mo carried the bundle of medicinal herbs on his back, freed his hands, tore off a corner of the large Ganoderma lucidum, and handed it to Doctor Xiao Lin.
At this moment, Dr. Kobayashi's mind was filled with Xia Moming's bright eyes. His heart was beating too fast, and he was a little short of breath, which temporarily boosted his thinking ability. He subconsciously took over the task.
Xia Mo retrieved the missing piece of Ganoderma lucidum, waved goodbye to Dr. Kobayashi once more, and strode away.
Dr. Kobayashi held a corner of the Ganoderma lucidum in both hands, his body stiff and motionless, his gaze following Xia Mo's departing figure. Even after Xia Mo disappeared from sight, he remained standing there, dazed and motionless.
Pharmacist Zheng didn't notice that something was wrong with Doctor Lin. He looked down at the corner of the Ganoderma lucidum that Doctor Lin was holding and swallowed.
“This Ganoderma lucidum is a finger and a half thick, a rare and top-grade Ganoderma lucidum. Even such a small piece is worth about thirty or forty taels of silver,” Zheng the pharmacist exclaimed. When he found no response, he looked up at Doctor Lin.
At this moment, Dr. Kobayashi was still completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on with his own reaction.
Pharmacist Zheng was good at identifying medicines, but he was not so good at interpersonal relationships. He said bluntly, "Dr. Lin, could it be that you've fallen for that young lady?"
Dr. Kobayashi's pupils trembled, and something seemed to explode in his mind with a "boom," instantly clearing his muddled mind.
Yes, he has fallen for that girl whose name he doesn't know!
So this is what it means to be moved.
After understanding, Dr. Kobayashi ran after Xia Mo's departing figure.
He wanted to ask the girl's name and where she lived! He thought... he could get engaged to her!
Only then did Pharmacist Zheng realize what he had just pointed out, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.
Dr. Kobayashi comes from a family with a long tradition of medicine and is of exceptional background. This means that the girl he is going to marry is destined to be extraordinary as well.
That's good, he's pointed out Dr. Kobayashi's unclear thoughts!
Dr. Kobayashi chased after him, but he couldn't catch up.
Summer was long gone.
Dr. Kobayashi stood on the street behind the clinic, lost in thought.
After leaving the clinic at the end of summer, she went to a clothing store, bought some clothes, changed into them, and then headed straight out of the city.
When entering the city, the face coverings had to be removed for inspection, but when leaving the city, the inspections were not as strict.
As Xia Mo stepped out of the city carrying a large bundle, she sensed a thief watching her from behind.
I looked up at the sky at the end of summer.
Those petty thieves got off easy!
She needed to get back to Anping County quickly and couldn't waste too much time on the road.
The thief following Xia Mo out of the city followed her onto the main road, and then saw her enter the woods beside the road.
Seeing their chance, the thieves followed them into the woods beside the official road. They looked around in astonishment and disbelief as they split up to search.
The thieves lost track of Xia Mo.
As summer drew to a close, he had already begun to move swiftly, running like the wind, and had left the suburbs next to Anning Prefecture.
Just a few petty thieves.
On the way back to Anping County in late summer, I changed my clothes and face covering with ease.
With divine guidance, avoiding people is an easy task for her.
One hour later—
Late summer was approaching the outskirts of Anping County.
Her divine sense relayed the latest news: twenty assassins were surrounding two people, and the two people being surrounded were people she recognized.
One is "Young Master Wei the Third", and the other is Jiang Feng, Young Master Wei the Third's personal bodyguard.
Two against twenty, "Young Master Wei" was at a disadvantage and could only struggle to survive!
Summer's end, she raised an eyebrow.
The Third Young Master Wei was covered in blood and was already seriously injured; his bodyguard Jiang Feng was in even worse condition.
The twenty assassins who besieged "Young Master Wei" were in no better shape, covered in wounds, but they still had the advantage in numbers.
Jiang Feng declared righteously, "Master, you must escape! I'll cover your retreat!"
Jiang Feng was prepared to sacrifice himself.
"Young Master Wei" gritted his teeth and fled in the direction of leaving Anping County.
Xia Mo couldn't let "Young Master Wei the Third" die yet; the grand drama she had planned hadn't even begun!
Xia Mo looked at herself, her face covered so that no one could tell who she was, and then jumped out.
The twenty assassins were surprised to find someone hiding there, and they paused instinctively, giving Jiang Feng a chance to breathe and survive.
When the twenty assassins saw that the person who stepped forward was petite, they didn't take him seriously at all and immediately sent two assassins to surround and kill Xia Mo.
The moment Xia Mo stepped forward, "Young Master Wei the Third" recognized her.
is her!
"Young Master Wei" glared at Xia Mo and roared, "Who are you?! Get lost!"
"Young Master Wei" is Huangfu Qian. He had been saved by Xia Mo. Although Xia Mo's prank last time made him decide to settle the debt of gratitude, he could not watch Xia Mo die now that Xia Mo had jumped out.
Huangfu Qian deliberately asked "Who are you?" to make the assassins understand that the person who jumped out had nothing to do with him.
Huangfu Qian hoped the assassins would spare Xia Moyi.
Whether the assassins understood Huangfu Qian's thoughts is unknown, but Xia Mo saw through it all, and she smiled.
