Transmigrated into ancient literature and killed the male protagonist to succeed

Chapter 213 Heaven is Unkind, I Will Take My Own Responsibility (9)

Although she was anxious to leave, Nan Yue still dealt with all the matters in Hongye City first.

Nan Yue initially relied on the money she earned by collecting herbs of sufficient age deep in the mountains behind Taoyuan Village. She also went hunting with her uncle and brought the herbs to the town to sell.

Later, he used the money he had saved to rent a small shop specializing in selling game.

There are many villages near Hongye City, most of which are close to the mountains. Hunters often come into the city to sell game, but this kind of thing is not wanted every day, and the hunters cannot stay for long, so they are all collected by Nanyue, and then processed and sold to wealthy families or restaurants.

Although Nan Yue looks like a teenage girl, she is very neat and efficient in handling game, and is much more pleasing to the eye than those butchers.

People who hold banquets often come to buy from her, and some wealthy families also ask her to slaughter and process livestock or find some medicinal herbs. She has many stable customers.

She temporarily closed the shop two days ago, planning to reopen it after she finishes her housework.

But it's not necessary now.

I was looking for someone to return the six months' rent for a small shop that had been open for over a year. It was in a good location and had no shortage of tenants, so it went quite smoothly.

When the uncle from the butcher shop next door saw this, he asked a few questions out of concern.

Everyone knows that there is a Xishi who sells wild game in Hongye City.

Nan Yue just thought that she had important things to do and couldn't open the shop.

She sold the few remaining rabbits and pheasants in the shop to the butcher at a low price. The uncle was very happy. Some wealthy people in Hongye City particularly loved to eat game, but it was a pity that this stuff was too expensive. Now that she gave him this price, he could sell it at a high price.

After finishing her business with the shop, Nan Yue went to find someone to sell the small house.

Houses in Hongye City are not cheap, and the house she chose, although not big, has a good environment and location. There are soldiers patrolling every night, so it is very safe.

She originally wanted to bring her family over, and spent almost all of her earnings on buying this house.

But now I am in a hurry to leave, so I have to lower the price before I can sell it.

It just so happens that the money from selling the house can be used as travel expenses.

When Nan Yue came back after finishing her work, it was already dark. She went back to her room to pack her things, planning to leave tomorrow.

Chunzhi hasn't left yet.

She helped her pack her luggage. Her eyes were red and it was obvious that she had been crying.

"Girl, do you have to leave?"

She looked at the girl's back, not only did she feel reluctant to let her go, she also didn't understand.

Life is so good, why does a girl have to do such a thing? She is only in her teens.

Nan Yue folded a few pieces of clothing and said calmly, "In a few days, when the news comes, you should know what happened. This is also the reason why I have to leave."

"Okay." Nan Yue tied up her bag, "Remember what I said."

She paused, "Red Leaf City is pretty good."

There is no news about immortals, demons or monsters, which proves that Hongye City is a very peaceful and tranquil mortal city.

But you can’t say for sure, just like Taoyuan Village, a disaster happened suddenly.

She didn't say much. For ordinary people who have no ability, it is better to be confused and not know many things.

Chunzhi didn't know what had happened until a few days after Nanyue left. She suddenly heard people say that a fire broke out in the remote Taoyuan Village at night due to the dry autumn weather, and no one escaped. Only then did she understand.

Chunzhi cried bitterly again, feeling sorry for the girl who was alone with him.

She didn't think about what kind of fire could burn down a village and leave nothing behind.

Sunset City.

Unlike the maple leaves all over the Red Leaf City in autumn, you can enjoy the sunset glow in the sky from the tall buildings in the city at sunset. There is a lake under the tall tower in the center of the city. When the sun sets, it is reflected in the water, just like setting in the lake in the city, hence the name Sunset.

Sunset City is much larger and more lively than Red Leaf City.

People dressed in luxurious attire were everywhere, and carriages glittering with jewels passed by from time to time on the wide streets.

At this time, the notice in the city was crowded with people, and everyone was talking at once.

"What's written on it?"

"Let me see, let me see..."

"My son was kidnapped by a big monster two months ago. I don't know whether he is alive or dead. If there is a monster catcher who can save my son, I am willing to reward him with... five hundred taels of gold?!"

Someone screamed.

Now this notice is no longer an ordinary notice, but five hundred taels of glowing gold!
No wonder there were so many people crowding in front of the sign.

Ordinary people cannot earn 500 taels in their entire lives. No, they have never even touched gold!
Although many people saw it and coveted the five hundred taels of gold, no one dared to reveal the notice.

In a teahouse not far away, a girl in green was drinking tea and silently looking at the people over there.

The waiter at the teahouse was a young man. Seeing that the girl was pretty, he kindly explained to her and took the opportunity to say a few words to her.

"The person who posted the notice is from the Fan Mansion. Mr. Fan is one of the richest businessmen in Sunset City. I heard that the floor of his house is paved with gold..."

"A few days ago, Mr. Fan's only son was kidnapped. I heard that it was a powerful monster. At first, many people took down the notice and went into the mansion to rescue him and claim the reward, but these people either had no real ability or died in the process of rescuing him..."

"I just watched the reward increase from 100 taels to 500 taels now..."

"So, we common people can just watch. We don't have the ability to earn these 500 taels of gold. We have to spend it as well as earn it."

The girl thought for a moment, "Subduing demons and monsters can be considered a merit."

The young man replied without thinking, "Of course, if we can get rid of the big monster that is causing trouble to the area, it will be the greatest merit among all merits!"

Nan Yue thanked him, threw down a small piece of silver, stood up, put on her hat and left.

There was still a crowd before the notice was posted. Although no one dared to reveal it, it is human nature to watch the fun.

"Um...I'm sorry..."

Someone in the crowd spoke weakly.

"Hey, can you guys in front of me please make way? I can't get in..."

"Please make way..."

The young scholar's voice was drowned in the crowd...

No one paid any attention to him, so the scholar gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

After finally squeezing to the front, he adjusted his slightly crooked scholar hat, stretched out his pale hand and tried to remove the notice...

When he touched the notice, a white and slender hand peeled it off at the same time as him.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

"Half a month later, someone is not afraid of death and reveals Master Fan's notice again, two in a row!"

The scholar opened his eyes wide in astonishment and looked in the direction of the notice...

The girl wore a bamboo hat with a snow-white veil hanging down. She spoke calmly but firmly, "I will get rid of this monster."

The implication is that you shouldn't compete with her for it.

The scholar smiled and said, "I was the first one to take it off. Girl, please don't be unreasonable."

"Yes, together." Nan Yue corrected in a serious tone.

The scholar smiled even more deeply, his eyes narrowed into a fox-like upward gaze, and he agreed with her, "Then we're together, let's go."

Nan Yue was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, but she didn't let go, "Give me the notice, and you lead the way."

Looking at this scholar, he doesn't look like he can exorcise demons.

Never mind, as long as he doesn't hold us back, I'll give him some of the gold when the time comes.

What she wants is merit anyway.
