The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 378 Treasure Hunt
The next morning, a team of escorts arrived at the Jixiang Inn.

Shi Liu, wearing a tight-sleeved dress, went downstairs with Hu Zhen and others.

The escort leader surnamed Ma came forward and said, "Miss Li, are we ready to set off?"

"Let's go!" Pomegranate nodded and jumped onto the carriage in one step, very neatly and cleanly.

All the escorts couldn't help but look sideways at him.

set off.

Escort leader Ma led half of the escorts to lead the way, with Shi Liu and others in the middle, and another half of the escorts at the end to protect the rear.

The group drove out of the Jixiang Inn in a mighty procession and headed towards the city gate, attracting special attention in the gradually bustling morning market.

"Hey, isn't this the horse escort leader? Has he received another escort?" A man in a fine robe who was drinking morning tea on the roadside saw a group of people coming and looked at the carriage in the middle, "Is he receiving another human escort?"

Ma Biaotou ignored him completely and rode his horse straight past him and continued forward.

The man spat and shouted at the carriage, "Why did you hire Ma Chun to escort us? Last year, Ma Chun was assigned to escort someone to Weiming Mansion, but they ran into bandits on the way. The girl and her servant were all kidnapped by the bandits, and the escorts were also killed or injured. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong by hiring him to escort us?"

Ma Chun's face darkened when he heard the man yelling like that. Because of this, fewer and fewer people in the local area asked their Weifeng Escort Agency to escort their goods. Seeing that the business was almost going to fail, he finally got a big escort job, and he was afraid that the customer would suddenly change his mind and not hire him after hearing this.

Although the deposit is non-refundable, he can earn a lot of money after completing this escort mission, and he doesn't want to break off like this.

He subconsciously glanced at the carriage, and said to Zuo Cheng who was walking beside him: "Don't listen to his nonsense. It was not something our escort agency could have anticipated that we would encounter bandits. There were so many bandits at the time that we could not resist them. In the end, we could only watch the escort being snatched away by the bandits. But afterwards, we reported it to the authorities and did our best to help them rescue the girl!"

Because of that one dart, not only did they end up paying for it with money, but the escort also suffered heavy losses and even he was seriously injured and took a long time to recover.

Today, they are short of escorts. Not only do they not get any escort jobs because of this reputation, but even if they do, they dare not take jobs that are too far away.

Fortunately, God didn't want to see their escort company close down, so a big business came here. Not only was it not far from the city, the price was high, and the work was simple, which was to help them find medicinal herbs in Yangu Mountain.

Speaking of this, Ma Chun was happy yesterday but also puzzled the whole night. As a native of Wannan Prefecture, he was familiar with Yangu Mountain, but he had never heard of any rare medicinal herbs in Yangu Mountain that were worth the trouble of hiring a bodyguard to help find them at such a high price.

He wondered, what kind of medicinal herb could be worth so much?

He vaguely felt that Miss Li was rich and willful.

Miss Li, who was rich and willful, didn't care when she heard the noise outside the carriage. "The escort skills were not good? Who cares about this?"

A good escort agency has to ask a lot of questions and have a lot of rules when escorting an escort. This escort agency that is about to go out of business is good enough. Just being able to escort an escort is a great honor. Why would you care about so many things?

The man in the fine robe shouted a lot, but he was also annoyed when he saw that the people in the carriage didn't even lift the curtain to take a look.

He and Ma Chun are neighbors next door to each other and they have many conflicts. He just can't stand to see Ma Chun doing well and hopes that his Weifeng Escort Agency can't be run.

A man at the next table saw this and couldn't help but say, "It's strange, I heard that this outsider hired the Weifeng Escort Agency to go to Yan Gu Mountain to look for some medicinal herbs!"

"Looking for medicinal herbs?" The man in the fine robe turned around and looked at him. "Why haven't I heard anyone say that there are any good medicinal herbs in Yan Gu Mountain that are worth outsiders coming all the way to look for?"

"Who knows? The host is a young girl! Maybe she is so willful because her family is rich? She is out for fun?"

The two idlers on the street heard the conversation clearly, looked at each other, and walked away from the crowd, stopping in a secluded alley. One of them said, "I think it's too strange to look for medicinal herbs! Some time ago, I was walking around the market, and I heard the woodcutter say that there were always strangers near Yan Gu Mountain. I wonder what they were looking for! And a few days ago, I met the woodcutter again, and he said that he saw a lot of strangers appearing in Yan Gu Mountain, one group after another, very famous!"

"But what can we find? Is there any treasure in there?" asked another person.

The two of them looked at each other, and saw the gleam in each other's eyes.

"What if they are really looking for some treasure? How can we miss such a good thing? I will follow first, you go find Ma Zi and the others and follow later!"

-

Yanshan Valley is located thirty miles south of Wannan Prefecture. It passes through two small villages along the way and becomes increasingly secluded after leaving the official road.

With the escorts leading the way, they kept going without stopping. By the time they saw the entrance to the valley, the sun was already high in the sky.

Today is a rare good day, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear blue.

At this point, carriages and horses cannot go in.

Shi Liu left two guards outside the valley to guard the carriages and horses, and the others, including the escorts, walked into the valley together.

A small path winds its way inside.

On the left hand side is a large area of ​​rhododendrons in full bloom, which look like burning flames from a distance. On the right hand side is a stream flowing along the same winding path. The water is clear and you can see the fish playing happily in the water.

In the distance at the end of the path, there are green mountains, high mountains, dense forests, towering ancient trees, and lush greenery, like a large piece of flawless and silky green satin.

Occasionally, the sounds of birds and insects could be heard in the valley, which was like a dream and not like the human world.

"Miss Li, what medicinal herbs are you looking for? What do they look like? Can you show them to us?" Ma Chun stepped forward and asked.

Now that they have entered the valley, they should naturally do their job well. The sooner they find the medicinal herbs, the sooner they can finish the escort, right?
Shi Liu glanced at the mountains in the distance and said, "Maybe it's over there. The mountains are so big that it's easy to get lost if you're not careful. I think we should go together and not separate."

When Ma Chun heard this, he naturally didn't say much. It was a rare opportunity to accept the escort job, so he just had to do whatever the employer said!

Then the group headed towards the mountains in a mighty procession.

It looks close, but it is actually not close when walking. It took me quarter of an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

The sun had already risen to the top of the sky, but it was covered by large trees in the mountains, so it didn't feel hot at all, but rather quite cool.

Pomegranate looked at the stream flowing down from the mountain, found an open space, and asked everyone to sit down to rest their feet and eat something to fill their stomachs.

We knew that we wouldn't be able to return to the city for a while, so we prepared some snacks and food early. Everyone brought a water bag with them, so they could eat and drink until they had filled their stomachs before going up the mountain.

They stopped to eat, but the people hiding in the woods frowned impatiently.

Ke Ziqing thought to himself that he had never seen such a calm and composed person.

We have already reached Yangu Mountain, why don’t you hurry up and find the treasure? You still have time to eat.

Unlike them, they were waiting here last night.
