Chapter 205: She's Dead
Xu Shuo and his entourage, led by Junxiong, carried large bags and small bags to a potion shop in the main city.
In addition to the various potions that have been blended, the shop also sells and buys a variety of unprocessed herbs, and there is a sign hanging outside the door that says the types of herbs they are willing to buy, and several men dressed as adventurers are selling the herbs they have picked at the front desk.
Xu Shuo just wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by Junxiong.
"I'll just go, don't come too many people, you guys wait for me outside." Toshio said.
"Oh......" Xu Shuo agreed, saw Junxiong standing still, and said suspiciously: "Then you should go." ”
Toshio shook his head.
"Wait a little less."
They waited outside the door for a while, and only after the adventurers had left and there weren't so many customers in the store did Junxiong cautiously enter the store. He walked quickly to the front desk and said to the store manager, who looked a little sharp-beaked and monkey-cheeked, "It's the same old way." ”
The shopkeeper gave him a lazy look, and stooped down to take out a small bundle of black, twig-like things from under the counter.
Toshio picked up the "branches" and looked at them, then frowned and said, "These copper pear branches are not very fresh, are they?" Is there anything else? ”
"Fresh, why not fresh, it's winter, it's okay to keep it for as long as you want." The store manager said.
"Another, huh?"
The store manager shook his head and said indifferently: "That's it, do you like it or not?" ”
Toshio looked a little reluctant, but he still took out the money bag and dumped all the money on the table.
The shopkeeper pointed out two silver coins with his finger and roughly counted the other copper coins.
"Hey, boy, are you kidding me, you're not worth the price!" The store manager said unhappily.
Junxiong licked his lips a little embarrassed, he didn't calculate the price when he bought something just now, and he exceeded some budgets.
"I didn't bring enough today, you can collect so much first, and make up for it next time I come, do you think it's okay?" Toshio pleaded in a low voice.
"Nope." The store manager said without thinking, "Who knows if you will come next time?" ”
"It's coming, don't I buy it from you every time?" Toshio said.
The store manager directly put away the copper pear branch.
"Then you can buy it next time."
"Hey, you don't have to do that, do you? I've inquired, you sell this medicine to others for a silver coin and a half, and sell me for twice the price, and you're already making a lot of money by giving so much now! Junxiong was a little excited, "Moreover, the medicine you gave this time is not new, so you should make a little less money and sell me?" ”
"Earn? Please, it's a big risk for me to sell this medicine to you, if the pickets find out, I'm going to go to jail, and I earn a risk fee, even if I sell you three times the price, it's not too much, okay? Anyway, the price is at this price, don't buy it if you don't have money! ”
"I, I ......"
Seeing that the store manager didn't eat the oil and salt, Junxiong was a little anxious, the medicine in the village had run out, and Bai Yu's recent physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he could only enter the city once a week, if he couldn't get the medicine back this time, Bai Yu's condition would definitely worsen in the delay.
At this moment, a hand crossed over Toshio and slapped the two gold coins on the table.
"Boss, I want to buy these, is two gold coins enough?" Xu Shuo put two rows of magic potions on the table, and then pointed at Junxiong and said, "The things this guy wants to buy are also counted." ”
The store manager looked at Xu Shuo, then at Junxiong, and then picked up a gold coin suspiciously, bit it with his teeth, and after confirming that it was a real gold coin, he said to Xu Shuo: "Your ID?" ”
Xu Shuo shrugged, "No, it's the same as this guy." ”
"If not, I'll charge double the fee, and your two gold coins are just enough to pay, is there a problem?" When the store manager said this, he had already held two gold coins in his hands.
Xu Shuo looked back at Lilian who was standing at the door, and said teasingly, "Miss, double the price, no problem, right?" ”
"No problem, Mr. Xu Shuo, you don't have to ask me about money, it's okay." Lilian said.
"You still have to ask, after all, it's your money."
Xu Shuo smiled and put away the potion, turned around and walked out, completely ignoring Junxiong, who was about to say something.
Toshio took the change back from the table and took it back into his purse, took the copper pear branch, and trotted out after it.
"I'll borrow this money, ...... next time"
Junxiong wanted to say something, but Xu Shuo raised his hand to stop him.
"Stop, it's enough to have Miao Zhen for this kind of role, don't be such a mother-in-law and mother as a big man, anyway, the medicine was bought for Bai Yu, not for you."
Toshio closed his mouth with a very frustrated expression.
The five of them continued to walk forward, this time changing buns to lead the way, saying that he knew of a delicatessen that would not check documents, and where they could buy steamed buns.
On the way, Xu Shuo saw a very grand building, which looked like a fortress, the surrounding walls were seven or eight meters high and about 100 meters long, and the scale was a bit like Wenk Manor, but the appearance was very dark, not as beautified as Wenk Manor.
Seeing Xu Shuo looking at the building in front of him, Baozi whispered: "This is the correctional center, and the thieves caught in River City are all inside." ”
Xu Shuo was shocked.
"Can't you walk around such a dangerous place?"
But the bun looks like he doesn't care.
"It's okay, the most dangerous place is the safest, no one would think that a thief would dare to leave here, so no one in this generation will check the documents."
As he spoke, a noisy voice came from ahead, and a group of people gathered in front of the correctional center, not knowing what was happening.
"Oh? Got a lot to see? Baozi excitedly squeezed into the crowd.
"Hey, wait!"
Anyway, this is also in front of the correctional center. Xu Shuo watched the bun disappear into the crowd with a headache, thinking that this guy was too bold.
He and Junxiong looked at each other, and everyone looked helpless, just standing in place and waiting for the buns.
After a while, the bun came out with his tongue out.
"What do you see?" Xiaotian asked curiously.
"Dead man, dead woman, I don't know what it was for, I was killed anyway." Baozi said with a shrug.
"Enough is enough, shall we go?" Xu Shuo said.
"Hey, the one up front."
Xu Shuo felt someone kick him in the calf, and he turned around to find four pickets in black standing behind him at some point, and it was one of them who kicked him.
These four people came from the rear, so not only Xu Shuo, Junxiong and the others didn't notice them, they were all taken aback at this time, and they were all stunned for a while, not knowing whether to run or not.
The four pickets carried a stretcher and said impatiently: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" ”
It turned out that they were not looking for them, and Xu Shuo and the others hurriedly got out of the way.
The picket came to the edge of the crowd and shouted the same "Get out of the way!" The crowd dispersed, and a female corpse appeared in front of Xu Shuo and them.
Xu Shuo glanced at it, he was not interested, but he was stunned when he saw the clothes worn by the female corpse.
He turned his head to look at Lilian, who also saw the female corpse, and the two of them looked at each other, the expressions on their faces indescribable.
Lying on the floor was the same woman they had met in the restaurant that afternoon.
She's dead.
