Chapter 694: Herb Merchant
Lin Zhiming walked out of the room without much emotion on his face.
If he had come overnight yesterday, he might have been able to see Jeddah Flower and even buy it, but unfortunately, he didn't come overnight last night.
Of course, Lin Zhiming did not regret it, because last night he and Gu Feiyan both completed very important things in their lives.
Moreover, the fact that the Jeddah flower was taken away does not mean that Lin Zhiming and the Jeddah flower will be completely lost, according to Xu Guancong, there is only one village in the vicinity of five kilometers, and that place should also be a place where Lao Chen often goes, so the murderer of the robbery and murderer may be Lao Chen's friend in that place, as long as he goes there to investigate, he should gain something.
"How is it?" Xu Guancong hurriedly walked up to Lin Zhiming and asked with concern.
"Everything is gone. Lin Zhiming shook his head and said.
"Is it all gone? Could it be that the murderer is here for Jeddah flowers?" asked Xu Guancong suspiciously.
"Not necessarily, but what is certain is that the other party must have killed people for money. Lin Zhiming said.
"Then let's call the police!" Xu Guancong said.
"Well, you call the police first, so be it, you wait for the police here, and I'll go to that nearby village to have a look!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Are you going alone?" asked Xu Guancong.
"Well, just tell me the direction!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
"I advise you not to go alone, that village is a village of young people, they are generally more xenophobic, and... You go and are easily blackmailed by them. Xu Guancong said.
"Will you still be blackmailed?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are occasionally some people in that place who go to buy things, all with money, if there is no local people to lead, we outsiders will become the target of other people's blackmail, maybe you accidentally step on a grass, they can ask you for a few hundred yuan, saying that they planted it, and the poor mountains and bad waters are talking about the people of that village. Xu Guancong explained.
"That's fine, I'll just be careful, you wait here for the police and protect the scene. Lin Zhiming said.
"Eh, don't listen to me, it's really inconvenient to go to that place alone, let's wait for the police to deal with this matter!" Xu Guancong said.
"I just went to check it out and asked the locals if there were any Jeddah flowers. Lin Zhiming said.
"Oh well. Xu Guancong saw that he couldn't convince Lin Zhiming, so he had to point in a certain direction and said, "Follow the road we just came in and go west, and when you walk to the road, you will encounter a fork in the road, and then you go to the left, remember, the fork in the road will go to the left, and you can reach Mobley Village all the way." ”
"Is the name of that village called Mobley?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Well, the people of that village are very strong, try to keep a low profile after you get there, I'll wait for the police here, if you encounter something that can't be solved, call me as soon as possible!" Xu Guancong said.
"Okay!" Lin Zhiming said, turning to leave.
All the way to the west, Lin Zhiming's speed was extremely fast.
The five-kilometer journey was completed in more than ten minutes.
At this time, what appeared in front of him was a quaint village full of Shaomin style.
The entrance to the village is a huge gate made of bamboo, the whole village is built in the middle of the col, surrounded by mountains, at night, the entrance door is closed, the whole village is cut off from the outside world, the outside beasts can not enter, people can not get out.
There were a few young people chatting at the entrance of the village, and when they saw Lin Zhiming coming in, these young people glanced at each other, and then walked towards Lin Zhiming.
"Entrance fee, thirty dollars. One of the men with pigtails blocked Lin Zhiming's way, and reached out to Lin Zhiming to ask for money.
"This is not an attraction either, what entrance fee do you want?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"The road you are walking on is built by our stockade, and the door is built by our village, and if you walk and pass the door, you have to give money!" said the pigtailed man.
"Then I'll bask in the sun, do you want to add some more money to you?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Then if you are willing to give, we will not want it. The pigtailed man said with a playful face.
Lin Zhiming sneered and said, "If you want money, a good dog won't get in the way." ”
After speaking, Lin Zhiming walked straight forward.
"Who are you scolding dog?!" the pigtailed man roared angrily, and directly raised his foot and kicked towards Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming grabbed the pigtailed man's foot with one hand, waved it to the side, and threw it away.
Several people around saw that their brother was thrown away, and they roared angrily and rushed towards Lin Zhiming.
However, these people, like the previous pigtailed men, were easily beaten out by Lin Zhiming.
A group of people fell to the ground and wailed, attracting the attention of many people.
"If you want revenge, go to the village center and find me. Lin Zhiming said and walked straight forward.
When he came to the village, Lin Zhiming did not look around, but kept walking to the center of the village.
The villagers on the street looked at Lin Zhiming curiously, outsiders are not welcome in this place, and the most people who come every year are some medicinal herb merchants, but when the medicinal herb merchants come, they will be accompanied by locals, and it is rare to dare to come to the door when they see a person.
Lin Zhiming walked quickly, leaving no time for those who wanted to blackmail him, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the center of the village.
In the center of the village is a playground, and there is an elementary school next to the playground, but it seems that there are no people attending classes anymore.
Lin Zhiming stood in the middle of the playground and looked around.
There were quite a few people around who were watching him.
Lin Zhiming smiled slightly, and shouted, "Collect precious Chinese herbs, the more precious the better, the price is yours!"
As soon as the breathy voice came out of his mouth, it immediately spread rapidly in all directions.
As soon as these words entered people's ears, everyone immediately became excited.
If it's just to collect medicinal herbs, it's nothing, the key is that the price is as you prescribe, and this is a bit exciting.
Many people hurriedly took the precious Chinese herbs they had collected, walked out of their homes, and quickly came to the playground.
Some people hurriedly called their relatives and friends and told them that a big businessman had come to the playground and asked them to come and have a look.
Looking at the people around him who were walking towards him, Lin Zhiming smiled and sat on the stone next to him.
"Hey, outsider, do you want my golden clematis, it's pure wild!" asked an old man in his sixties who opened the plastic bag in his hand in front of Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming glanced at it and said, "You can make a price." ”
"Ten thousand?" the old man asked tentatively.
"Deal, WeChat payment. Lin Zhiming said.
"Is this the deal?" The old man and the people around him were all frightened by Lin Zhiming's simple expression, the businessmen who came in the past were so painful to bargain, but the person who came today didn't pay back the price at all, which was much better than the previous businessmen.
"Good!" the old man nodded repeatedly, then took out his phone.
Lin Zhiming took out his mobile phone to scan the code to transfer money, and the whole process lasted less than half a minute.
The old man got 10,000 yuan, handed over the golden clematis to Lin Zhiming, and then turned around and left.
As soon as the people around saw that Lin Zhiming was buying things so simply, where would they wait, they took out their treasured precious Chinese herbs one after another.
Lin Zhiming was the same as before, he was offered by the other party, and he never counteroffered, and some people offered a price that was obviously high, but Lin Zhiming still accepted all the orders.
At this time, the news that there was a generous herb dealer who was collecting medicinal herbs quickly spread throughout the village, and everyone knew that this herb dealer never bargained, and he would accept anything if he had it.
At this moment, the people of the whole village were in a sensation, and everyone ran to the center of the village with their treasured Chinese medicinal materials.
The crowd quickly surrounded Lin Zhiming, and Lin Zhiming was surrounded by all kinds of bags, including plastic bags, paper bags, and snakeskin bags, and there were all kinds of things inside, including expensive Chinese herbs, and some worthless things.
At this moment, a group of young people hurriedly walked over from the side.
There were a large number of young people, one or twenty, and in addition to a few middle-aged people.
"Get out of the way!" shouted a young man with pigtails.
This person is the pigtailed man who was beaten away by Lin Zhiming just now, and at this time he seems to have called for help, with an arrogant expression on his face.
Seeing these people, the villagers got out of the way in fear.
These villagers also dare to blackmail outsiders occasionally, and in the face of the bullies in their village, they dare not stand in their way.
The group rushed into the crowd with great momentum, pushing some of the villagers who were slower to avoid them away.
After a while, these people came to Lin Zhiming and surrounded Lin Zhiming.
"Ah Kang, this person hit us!" the pigtailed man pointed at Lin Zhiming and said excitedly.
"You kid, beat my friend?" asked the man named Ah Kang, who stared at Lin Zhiming viciously.
"They got in my way, so I cleared them out, not a beating. Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"You're so bold!" Ah Kang suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Zhiming's collar and said, "They are all my brothers, if you beat them, either leave your money or the parts of your body, otherwise, you can't leave our village!"
"I'm just a merchant who comes to buy medicinal herbs, so there's no need for this. Lin Zhiming said helplessly.
"Then you didn't beat us just now, do you want to leave unharmed?" the pigtailed man exclaimed excitedly.
"I don't care how good you are outside, in this village, I have the final say, you have to coil me even if it is a dragon! Otherwise, I will kill you!" Akon said viciously.
Lin Zhiming smiled, and was just about to speak, when a deep voice came from the side.
"Akang, what are you doing? Let our guests go!"
