Chapter 16 Herbal Shop

The two head to town together.

Qi Mingzhi helped Zheng Xiaxia carry the baskets, and they came to a herbal medicine shop, and Zheng Xiaxia went in to discuss business with the boss.

Qi Mingzhi was waiting for her outside.

Zheng Xiaxia walked out in a daze, Qi Mingzhi comforted her and said, "There are many herbal medicine shops in this small town, we can go to some other ones, don't worry."

With Qi Mingzhi's comfort, Zheng Xiaxia really felt much better, and she nodded at Qi Mingzhi.

"You're right, let's go take a look."

The two changed several herbal medicine shops in a row, but none of them were willing to accept the herbs picked by Zheng Xiaxia.

The fierce sun was getting bigger and bigger, Zheng Xiaxia watched Qi Mingzhi sweat all over, and she dragged him to a cool place to rest.

Put down the basket of herbs.

Zheng Xiaxia fanned Qi Mingzhi with her soft little hands: "It's really hard work for you."

"It's not hard, but why don't these companies need it?" Qi Mingzhi gradually realized that something was wrong.

It's normal if one family doesn't need it, but they don't need it after asking several companies in a row, which is abnormal.

Zheng Xiaxia bit her pink and thin lips.

She seemed to be hesitating for something, but when Qi Mingzhi looked over, she had to say: "I feel like the owners of the herbal medicine shop are targeting us. Before I went in, they said no."

After Zheng Xiaxia's point, Qi Mingzhi also reacted: "Then what should we do next?"

Zheng Xiaxia shook her head: "I can only go to another one to ask, this time you go in, I will wait outside."

Instead, Qi Mingzhi went in and successfully sold the herbal medicine.

The two walked home. On the way, it was quiet, no one spoke, Qi Mingzhi still couldn't hold his breath.

He turned his attention to Zheng Xiaxia: "What's going on here? Why did you sell it and no one bought it, but if I sold it, the owner of that shop bought it."

Regarding this issue, Zheng Xiaxia was also at a loss.

She didn't know what was going on, so facing Qi Mingzhi's question, Zheng Xiaxia could only shake her head.

"I'm not so sure either."

Qi Mingzhi sighed: "Don't go out next time."

Zheng Xiaxia knew that going on like this was definitely not an option, she had to figure this thing out.

While walking, Zheng Xiaxia suddenly turned around.

Qi Mingzhi wanted to hold Zheng Xiaxia back, but she rushed into a herbal medicine shop not far away.

"Why are you unwilling to buy my herbs?"

Zheng Xiaxia stared at the owner of the herbal medicine shop, her face was extremely ugly: "Did someone tell you some gossip?"

The shop owner just pretended that he didn't hear this sentence, he didn't even look at Zheng Xiaxia, and filled out the bill on his own.

Because of the shop owner's silence, Zheng Xiaxia became more and more convinced that there must be something wrong.

Knowing that if I continue to ask, the shop owner will not only not answer my question, but may even drive me out.

Of course Zheng Xiaxia wouldn't ask for boredom.

She withdrew her gaze, Zheng Xiaxia left the herbal shop, and found Qi Mingzhi waiting for her outside.

"What did the boss say?" Qi Mingzhi asked curiously.

Zheng Xiaxia shook her head: "He didn't say anything."

Qi Mingzhi's face became ugly: "Someone must be spreading bad things about you behind your back, no, I'll go in and ask."

"Don't ask, he won't tell." Zheng Xiaxia held Qi Mingzhi back: "Let's go back first."

Qi Mingzhi wanted to say something more, but after hearing Zheng Xiaxia's words, she had already turned around, Qi Mingzhi had no choice but to follow Zheng Xiaxia's footsteps, and the two returned to the yard.

Putting down the basket, Zheng Xiaxia prepared dinner.

The two simply finished their dinner, and Qi Mingzhi carefully observed Zheng Xiaxia's expression: "How about I go and find out?"

"There's nothing to inquire about." Zheng Xiaxia shook her head.

When she said this, Qi Mingzhi had no choice but to nod: "I'm going out tomorrow, and you must lock the door when you are alone at home."

"You want to go out?" Zheng Xiaxia's tone was shocked.

Qi Mingzhi nodded: "The master of the town will hold a poetry meeting tomorrow and sent me an invitation letter, and he will probably be back in the evening."

As he spoke, he took out the invitation letter.

Glancing at the invitation letter, Zheng Xiaxia said he understood: "Okay, then rest early, recharge your batteries, and show your strengths tomorrow."

Qi Mingzhi just smiled wryly, but didn't respond.

Early the next morning, Qi Mingzhi got up early.

Zheng Xiaxia was bored at home alone.

The door of the room was suddenly slammed, and Zheng Xiaxia walked to the door with vigilant eyes, and she carefully opened a small gap.

Finding that the person standing outside the door was the aunt next door, Zheng Xiaxia breathed a sigh of relief: "Aunt Liu, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this. My family made pork today. It's too much to finish, so I plan to invite you to have lunch together."

Zheng Xiaxia frowned, she didn't expect Aunt Liu to be so kind, but she also thought of Qi Mingzhi's advice to her, so she politely refused.

"I'm really sorry, Aunt Liu, I can't leave here."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu was in a bad mood: "Why can't you leave?"

Zheng Xiaxia took a deep breath: "There is something going on at home."

Aunt Liu wanted to pull Zheng Xiaxia's arm, but Zheng Xiaxia deftly dodged it, looking at Aunt Liu with even more suspicion.

"Aunt Liu?"

Aunt Liu, who came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly: "Okay then, you do your work first, and I won't bother you. I'm going back."

After waving at Zheng Xiaxia, Aunt Liu left.

Zheng Xiaxia was about to close the door, but two burly men came from nowhere, she was knocked out and taken away before she could react.

dizzy.

When Zheng Xiaxia opened her eyes again, she found that her hands and feet were tied up with ropes. She wanted to struggle, but her body was extremely heavy.

Zheng Xiaxia instantly realized that she had been drugged.

She clenched her back molars: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, the two burly men held their stomachs and laughed loudly: "Who are we? Don't you know?"

Zheng Xiaxia glanced at them vigilantly, and found that these two were unfamiliar faces, and he had never seen them before, so it also meant that he had never offended them. When he came to this world, Zheng Xiaxia had never provoked anyone.

Except for that disgusting couple.

So apart from the instigation of that disgusting couple, Zheng Xiaxia really couldn't think of anyone else.

She took a deep breath: "How much did that couple give you? I would give you double, as long as you let me go."

The burly man sneered, "Who do you think we are?"
