My princess connects yin and yang

Chapter 159 What if no one goes to the mountains to collect herbs?
When Xiaoyouxi was curious, the stall owner said: "Look, little girl, I told you that this broken bone grass can't survive!"

Watching the old woman take the bone-breaking grass, Nian Youxi looked around the bustling market with slightly calm eyes.

"Then you said that the broken bone grass can't be kept, why are you the only one still selling it in such a big market?"

The stall owner's expression changed, and he said in an unnatural tone: "That's because our family has a lot of people, and we went up the mountain to pick broken bone grass a few days ago, so now we have some leftovers to sell!"

But Nian Youxi didn't think so. She looked down at the stall owner's stall, which was already empty. He only sold bone-breaking grass from the beginning, and this alone was very strange.

But Nianyouxi didn't ask, the stall owner closed the stall, left in a hurry, and disappeared along an alley.

"Do you think it's strange?" Sheng Jinmo knew her too well, and when he turned his eyes to look at her, he could guess what he was thinking.

Nian Youxi nodded: "The stall owner just now said that bone-breaking grass is a very sought-after herb, but there is no one else selling it in the whole market, only his family, don't you think Is it weird?"

"Perhaps the stall owner is right. If there are many people in the family, they will pick more." Bai Yue guessed.

But Nian Youxi didn't think so: "Come and see tomorrow, he must still be selling."

"Is it possible? Doesn't it mean that it's sold out?" Bai Yue asked.

But Youyou Xi smiled mysteriously: "There must be more, let's go and see the others."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards other stalls, and after walking around, she did not find the Broken Bone Grass.

She found a big shop, and the shopkeeper greeted her when she entered the door.

"Several distinguished guests, do you need something?" The shopkeeper said warmly and hospitablely.

He was doing business in the capital city and received many merchants, so it was obvious at a glance that these few people were unusual.

Nianyou Xi smiled and asked: "Does the store have bone-breaking grass?"

The shopkeeper shook his head in embarrassment: "Oh, there is really no such thing."

"I see that your shop is the largest on the street. Why isn't there such a thing?" Nian Youxi asked again.

The shopkeeper said with a sigh: "You guys don't know. Recently, there have been a lot of evil people in the city. Many young people have broken arms or broken legs. Overnight, this broken bone grass has become a herbal medicine in high demand, and they have all been bought. Already!"

"It's strange to say, I don't know what happened recently."

This time Bai Yue was also curious: "Do all young people break their legs?"

"Yeah, those who were broken while walking, and those who went up the mountain, one after another, it's really evil."

"I don't know if it's something evil!" The shopkeeper shook his head and pointed in the direction of the back house: "Our young master's leg was also broken last night, so he got up and went to the latrine and then fell. Evil door?"

The young Ximei narrowed her eyes slightly, all the young people?
"What about the old people in the city? Are they the same?" she asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "That's not true, they are all young people, all young people in the age of seventeen or eighteen."

Young Xi thought it was strange, according to common sense, often broken bones are caused by the elderly, osteoporosis.

But young man, how come?

Nian Youxi lowered her eyes and thought about it carefully, this matter is really quite wicked.

But now I don't know what happened, so I can't determine what caused it. I can only say that this incident is really strange. If you want to find out, you still have to look again.

And there is another more important thing to do here.

"Boss, do you have red grass and pearl flowers here?" she asked.

The shopkeeper directly shook his head: "We always go up the mountain to pick such precious things after someone gives a deposit, and these things all grow on the steepest cliffs and darkest places in the back mountain."

"It's very dangerous to try to pick these herbs."

"Then, shall we place a deposit?" Nian Youxi turned to look at Sheng Jinmo.

He nodded directly: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he directly gave a bank note to the shopkeeper: "We need a lot of red grass and pearl flowers, are these enough?"

After the shopkeeper saw it, he nodded again and again: "These are too many, enough!"

"Then when can we get it?" Nian Youxi asked.

The shopkeeper said embarrassingly: "I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while, because recently many young people have all injured their bones and can't go up the mountain to collect medicine. It's just some old people who go up the mountain, and their legs and feet are not as agile as young people. , it may take longer to collect the medicine."

"So if you are in a hurry, you have to wait a little longer."

Nian Youxi frowned slightly. The shopkeeper was right. Under normal circumstances, only young people and those with relatively strong physique would do this kind of dangerous picking work.

But now many young people in their city have broken their bones, and they have no way to go to the mountains to collect medicine, so they can only wait.

"Well then, I will send someone to tell you where we live later. If there is any news about these two herbs, please tell us. These herbs are very important to us." Young Xi also wanted to find them as soon as possible. These two herbs are for the fourth prince.

But now there is no one in the whole city to go to the mountains to collect herbs, the only way is to wait.

After leaving the shop, Zhao Zhilan arranged a hotel for them.

I chose the best hotel in the city and booked the best room.

Moreover, many of the people living in this inn are merchants who come and go. Everyone gathers on the first floor and talks freely.

"No one goes to the mountains to collect herbs now, when can we go back?"

"Just say yes, there are no young people going to the mountains to collect herbs. I have lived here for more than ten days."

"If you still can't take the herbs back as soon as possible, what will the patients in your hometown do?"

The people who gather here basically resell medicinal materials from here to their own cities.

And no one is collecting herbs here, and those herbs that have been stored have already been bought at high prices, so they can only wait here.

When Young Xie went upstairs, he saw these people were still moaning.

Sheng Jinmo said in a deep voice: "No one in this city goes to the mountains to collect medicine, that's what they are most anxious about now."

"Yeah." Nian Youxi nodded, entered the room and said in a low voice: "Just like the shopkeeper said just now, the people who went to the mountains to collect herbs were young laborers, and older people simply couldn't do it. This job."

"But don't you think it's strange? Why do young people in this city have broken bones? How come it's such a coincidence?"

"The broken bone grass is urgently needed here, and these merchants are also anxious to resell other medicinal materials and leave."
