C11 Provoked

Madam Ji Su was so happy that she slapped her thigh.

"Little Flower, you're really smart. There's actually a bustling town, but it's a long way to go. It's too exhausting."

So she was worried about this, Zhang Xiaohua laughed and waved her hands.

"Granny should rest at home. When the time comes, I will take these herbs to sell them, and try to sell them at a higher price. Little Flower's body is very good, and taking a few steps can help him get better, not to mention he also needs some money to supplement his family. As the daughter-in-law of this family, I should also contribute a bit of strength to them."

Zhang Xiaohua naturally wanted to help his family from the bottom of her heart, but she was actually very pleased with the rare harmonious atmosphere in his family. When Madam Ji Su saw her daughter-in-law acting so rationally, she couldn't help but grin.

She turned her head and saw Wang Ergou leisurely sitting on a wooden chair, and instructed him.

"Ergou, your wife is very tired, and it's not safe to be by yourself when she's outside. Accompany her there."

Wang Ergou, who was usually cold and indifferent, was extremely obedient today.

"Sure, as long as she doesn't mind me leaving slowly."

Seeing that he was doing it intentionally, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but want to kick him. Of course, she was muttering in her heart, if this little lame one went there, it would definitely take up a lot of time.

"Look at what you're saying. You're saying that I'm like an unruly shrew. It's good that you're willing to accompany me. After all, it's hard to walk in the night, so I'm very afraid of death!"

"Oh, that's quite rare." Wang Ergou still maintained his indifferent look.

As he said these words, the two of them smiled at each other. After packing up, they walked towards the distant town.

Zhang Xiaohua who had been enjoying the journey and was in a good mood began to find a topic to talk about with her.

"I say, Ergou, do you know which medicine shop would have a higher price?"

Wang Ergou scratched his head, "How would I know?

Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes at her, disappointed, "You really don't like people. Every time I ask you a question, I'm just being careless. How annoying! "

Zhang Xiaohua impatiently continued to crazily roll her eyes, but Wang Ergou was actually happy inside. After pondering for a while, she finally thought of a place, and the original owner's memories were still there after all.

"I do remember that there is a medicine store with the surname Wang that buys medicinal herbs frequently. The price is reasonable and it does not deceive farmers like us. How about we go there?"

Seeing Wang Ergou giving him such face, Zhang Xiaohua did not care about his previous hatred, and casually asked.

"Fine, then let's hurry back to that medicine store and try to get home before dawn."

The road ahead was a little difficult, so Wang Ergou found it difficult to walk. Seeing that he could not tolerate the suffering of others, Zhang Xiaohua walked up to him.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that he did not understand's intention, Zhang Xiaohua simply squatted in front of him. "Hey, come on up, I'll carry you over."

"Get up, I'm a man, it's not your turn to carry me, you little girl."

"Oh, you're still so proud!"

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips, looked around, and was suddenly struck by inspiration.

In a moment she was beside him again.

"Hey, this is for you."

Another wooden stick appeared in front of Wang Ergou.

The bark was soft to the touch. He took it over and said, "I don't see it. It's quite clever."

"That's right!" She couldn't help but feel pleased with herself once again. "For someone as powerful as me, it's only natural that my fighting ability is extremely strong. Otherwise, how would I …"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Wang Ergou didn't want her to continue acting on his own and left once again.

"What are you doing? You never listen to me properly!" Zhang Xiaohua roared at him in dissatisfaction.

"The crux of the matter is that what you said couldn't be trusted at all." He shook his head and walked on.

Once they reached the towns, it was very easy to find the road to the Wang's Medicine Shop.

Along the way, they finally saw the bustling town.

Everyone was dressed extravagantly. Wang Ergou and Zhang Xiaohua were from the countryside, so their attire was naturally not as good as the people here. They looked a little shabby.

However, Zhang Xiaohua did not mind. They all had their own ways of living, as long as they did not steal or rob, they would definitely live their lives in peace.

She came to the entrance of a small alleyway. It was exhausting to carry the bag containing the herbs. After all, it was a bumpy journey.

"Aiyo, I've been exhausted so much along the way. I'm so tired …"

She subconsciously hit her sore shoulder.

"Ergou, there's a candied fruit here!" When Zhang Xiaohua suddenly saw this sour and sweet snack, she could not sit still for a moment.

Wang Ergou saw through her thoughts, "What, you want to eat it?"

"That's right! Can you buy it for me? " Zhang Xiaohua looked at him, revealing her daughter's true colors for the first time.

"Fine, then I'll be merciful." He raised his eyebrows as he spoke. At this time, he was also a bit worried, so he instructed, "This place is unlike the village. Don't run around, just wait for me at the entrance of the alleyway."

Seeing Wang Ergou's rare serious expression, Zhang Xiaohua felt a sense of novelty, but didn't know what to say. She grinned and said, "Ergou is worried about me, it's really rare, I need to remember!"

"I can't be bothered with you …" Wang Ergou rolled his eyes at her, turned and left to buy the candied flakes.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was sitting on top of the wooden log and bored to death, had a rare moment of leisure.

But she did not realize the approaching danger.

A few dissolute young masters didn't know why this alleyway was so deserted.

It was clear that they had already gone to the Land of the Stormy Flower and Snow Moon. Now that they saw the beautiful Zhang Xiaohua, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

However, when he saw how shabby it looked, he could not help but find it even more interesting.

"What are you doing with that big bag?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard the voices, he could not help but turn her head to look, only to realize that it was a few bright and beautiful young masters.

He couldn't afford to offend her, so he put away his unruly look.

"This little girl is here to sell medicinal materials."

"Oh …" So he was selling medicinal herbs. How hard it would be. " A blue-robed young master held her hand and said meaningfully, "Why don't you sell me your medicinal ingredients and meet some friends at my place?"

Zhang Xiaohua's face instantly darkened. She took her hand out of their hands and felt a little disgusted.

"Um, young master, I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

After all, she couldn't afford to offend these rich people, so she could only restrain her temper and leave. Wasting time with these trash was simply a waste of her life.

However, the men behind her laughed and stopped her again, "I say, little lady, why are you so unromantic? We like you, that's your fortune! How about this, you'll accompany us for a night, but it's even more than the medicinal herbs you sell for a month! "

Zhang Xiaohua could no longer hold it in and directly pulled her hand out. "My apologies, young noble, but thinking about the things that happen in a brothel, what is the meaning of joking with me!"
