The old lady was stunned, and looked at Su Lin randomly, and then she was about to kneel down, "So you are my benefactor, you saved my life, I..."

Before she finished her words, Su Lin helped her up, and he couldn't bear this gift.

He smiled awkwardly: "Auntie, I'm glad you are okay, there is no need to do this, I just saw injustice on the road."

The old couple is very open-minded and cheerful, and they always have smiles on their faces.

It can be seen that they have a good relationship, otherwise the old man would not have risked the danger to go up the mountain to collect herbs. At his age, if he is not careful, the two may die together.

"Why, uncle, don't you have children?"

Su Lin looked at the environment in the yard, which was very simple, but clean and tidy.

The house is not big, and there is no trace of young people living.

At such an old age, if there is no one to take care of the old age, it is really a difficult thing.

The old man sighed helplessly, "Alas, a few years ago, the North and the South went to war, and my only son was conscripted. He has not returned yet, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive."

No wonder.

Su Lin patted the old man's shoulder and comforted him not to be sad.

At the same time, he also prepared silver and planned to give the old couple the last bit of help.

Knowing that they would not want it, Su Lin stayed at the end and chatted with the old man in this yard, asking a lot about their past and the experience of this Lanzhou City.

Aside, the old lady was slaughtering and plucking chickens.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost dinner time. The table was already full of food. The farmhouse smell was particularly attractive to Su Lin.

"It smells so good."

Su Lin picked up a piece of braised chicken with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt delicious and sighed in his heart: This old couple is really good people. The only egg-laying hen in the family was killed.

The old man talked freely, and his words were all expressing his gratitude to Su Lin.

This made him wave his hands repeatedly, "You can't be so polite. If you really want to thank me, today's meal is enough."

I thought the meal would end with such compliments, but I didn't expect that I would get a piece of news while chatting with the old man.

"Medicinal herbs? What medicinal herbs can attract so many people's attention?"

The old man said that he overheard a conversation between several people when he was picking herbs outside the city a few days ago.

It was a medicine called Zixia Flower. The specific effect was unknown, but it was very valuable, and many people went to compete for it recently.

The old man was thoughtful, as if he had returned to the situation that day, "These people are carrying weapons and stretching their hands lightly. I think they are all martial artists."

From his description, he is at least a martial artist.

Su Lin's eyes turned, and he immediately thought that it must be a great opportunity to attract so many people to compete for it.

"Where is that?" Su Lin asked impatiently.

The old man asked in confusion: "Lingfeng Mountain, what's wrong? Does the benefactor want to go there too?"

Then, he advised earnestly: "I know your ability, but those warriors are not easy to mess with. Besides, they come in groups, and there must be forces behind them. It is probably from some aristocratic family."

Su Lin was not afraid, but he did not want to expose his strength in front of an ordinary person, so he could only pretend to nod and listen to the old man's advice.

Finally, the meal was over.

When he was taken away, Su Lin took advantage of the old couple's inattention and left a bag of silver on the table, which was more than 200 taels.

This was enough for their expenses for many years, and even a good life, and it could be regarded as providing for their retirement and death.

Afterwards, he came to Lingfeng Mountain outside the city overnight.

The moon tonight was big enough to see the road ahead clearly. Su Lin was not familiar with the environment here, so he could only grope forward.

Although it was not a good idea to come here at night, it was also a helpless move. After all, opportunities do not wait for anyone!

Even if it was just a second, it might fall into someone else's pocket.

Fortunately, there are often herb collectors in Lingfeng Mountain, and the terrain is not dangerous, so a road has been opened up long ago.

Su Lin went up the mountain along this road. The night was dark and he could not see far.

But he soon discovered the existence of other people. These guys were also worried about exposing themselves, so they did not prepare lighting tools at all.

"I wonder how many people are hiding in this mountain?" Su Lin was puzzled.

A quick look at the people in front of him showed that there was only one innate warrior, and the others were just ordinary people who were just beginners and at most strong.

So he did not intend to alarm them, and put them in front to explore the way, so that he could reap the benefits.

These people were not idle. After a short rest, they set off again.

Sure enough, with them opening the way, Su Lin felt that the way up the mountain became much easier.

Soon they would reach the top of the mountain, and the medicinal materials must be here, so Su Lin quickened his pace.

At this moment, the warriors in front suddenly stopped, and they seemed to notice something.

The leader packed up and then shouted to the dense forest: "Come out, don't hide."

Then, another wave of people jumped out.

The force hiding in the dark was obviously stronger, all of them were innate warriors, and their strength was enough to crush them.

"I knew it was you. Do all the Chen family members like to do things in such a sneaky way?"

The leader on the opposite side laughed, "What else? Like you fools, run forward? It's much easier with you exploring the way."

Su Lin saw this and smiled helplessly. In fact, the two sides were the same.

All the innate warriors, hiding in the dark, were actually discovered? This can only mean that they are not strong enough.

But what is certain is that his words are half true and half false. He must have been waiting again, otherwise, Su Lin would not have failed to notice.

"Hmph! Chen Feng, I don't want to fight with you this time. I hope you can give our Zhou family a face. This purple cloud flower is really important to us."

Chen Feng sneered. In his eyes, the other party was really unaware.

What kind of environment have you fallen into now? Dare to negotiate conditions?

The two have known each other for a long time and are old enemies. Seeing that he has the upper hand, Chen Feng naturally wants to laugh at him and humiliate him, so he asked: "Zhou Hongyu, do you mean to beg for mercy from me?"

He sneered.

"Your Zhou family is at least a well-known martial arts family in Yuhua City, so I will give you this face."

"As long as you bring these people under your command and kneel down and kowtow to me three times, this purple cloud flower will be given to you."

Chen Feng was determined to win, but he still pretended to be hypocritical.

Zhou Hongyu was helpless. He came here to find the purple flower to save the family master's name. If he lost this opportunity, he would probably die.

After thinking for a while, he decided to put aside his pride.

With a plop, he knelt down directly in front of his old enemy, his eyes full of indignation, "Are you satisfied now?"
