Chapter 73: Senior Brother

"Run!" Shen Xinyue's expression changed suddenly, and she turned her head and ran quickly towards another road.

Shen Gui'an and Shen Ergou also reacted and fled after Shen Xinyue.

Looking at the truth that was already in front of him, the mustachioed man could only give up even if he was unwilling.

Several people ran all the way in the direction as if they were dying, and when they saw that there was an exit in front of them, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them.

With a bang, the whole mountain shook.

Then the cave began to collapse.

Fortunately, in the end, several people still took it out without danger.

However, before they could catch their breath, suddenly two black shadows burst out of the nearby woods.

"Be careful!" only had time to push Shen Gui'an away, and Shen Xinyue rolled sideways on the spot and dodged the knife cut by the incoming person.

On the other end, the mustachioed man also retreated in embarrassment, but there was a boulder behind him, and there was no way to retreat, so in a panic, he grabbed a handful of medicinal powder from his arms and threw it out wildly at the comer.

"Ah!!h

The powder entered his eyes, and the person covered his face in pain.

The mustachioed man took the opportunity to stomp on the surface of the other's feet, and then raised his leg and kicked his children and grandchildren unceremoniously.

Seeing the person rolling to the ground in pain, Shen Guian and Shen Ergou subconsciously tightened their legs.

Shen Xinyue clasped her hands together, firmly grasped the handle of the opponent's knife, and at the same time curled up with one leg and kicked the opponent's abdomen.

snatched the knife from the opponent's hand, and wiped the opponent's neck with his backhand.

"Don't be stunned, why don't you leave quickly?" Seeing the stunned appearance of the three of them, Shen Xinyue dropped the knife and walked quickly towards the mountain forest next to her.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that it was safe that a few people had time to take a look at where they were.

They passed through the belly of the mountain, and should have reached the back of the mountain.

You can still vaguely hear the movement of the officers and soldiers in front of you searching the mountain.

"If I'm not mistaken, the girl's surname should be Shen." As he descended the mountain, the bearded man suddenly spoke.

Shen Xinyue stopped, turned her head to the man and smiled, "Xinyue has seen Senior Brother. ”

Zheng Chenyan said curiously: "How do you know it's me?" ”

"Before, the master mentioned Senior Brother and said that you have a good sense of smell, and it happens to be near Jin'an Mansion, except for you, Senior Brother, I can't think of a second person."

"No wonder Master wrote to praise you for your intelligence, it seems that this is the case."

During the conversation between the two, Shen Xinyue learned that Zheng Chenyan came to track down the half of the "Hundred Herbs Immortal Sutra".

Who knew that an unintentional move was almost exposed and was targeted.

When I met Shen Xinyue's spicy skewers, I thought it was simple and delicious, so I wanted to change my identity and pretend to be a vendor.

"Who knew that you girl and goblin were forced to close down on the first day of the stall."

Every time he thinks about this, Zheng Chenyan feels aggrieved.

Shen Xinyue is as good as flowing: "It's all my fault, if the senior brother likes it, you can go to the store to eat enough, it's free." ”

Later, Zheng Chenyan inadvertently noticed that there were more than a dozen homeless people in the town for a month, and after learning that this incident was related to the matter he wanted to investigate, he simply pretended to be a homeless man.

As a result, it was a little worse.

As he was talking, a cold wind blew, mixed with the unpleasant smell of rancid smell on his head and face, Zheng Chenyan couldn't help but retch.

The smell is deadly for people with a keen sense of smell.

"Senior brother doesn't have a place to settle yet, right? I have a shop in the town, with a yard in the back, and I haven't lived there yet, so you should settle down there first, senior brother. ”

Seeing that she was so caring, Zheng Chenyan liked this little junior sister even more.

When they returned to the town, it was almost midnight, so they simply rested in the shop.

On the second day, the news of the Wang family's collusion with mountain bandits and human trafficking spread in the town.

"What do you mean by transporting coffins to sell outside, but they are all filled with people. Fortunately, the county lieutenant arrived in time with people, and all the dozen or so people were rescued. ”

"I heard that the shopkeeper of the coffin shop hanged himself in his house last night, and it is too cheap for someone like him to hang him."

Shen Xinyue listened to everyone's discussions, her expression was as usual, and she didn't react much.

Shen Gui'an was annoyed: "Tomorrow is the day of delivery, but unfortunately something went wrong in the middle, otherwise we would have been able to contact the source of goods." ”

Since he learned about Liu Weigan's deeds, he didn't dare to cooperate even if he found Shen Xinyue.

"Second brother, I have something for you to do."

Shen Xinyue leaned over to Shen Gui'an and whispered a few words.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, this matter is on me." Shen Gui'an listened, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and went out, and began to prepare.

It was getting dark, and tomorrow was the fifteenth, and a bright moon in the sky illuminated the surroundings very clearly.

Several dark figures lay on a wall, silently watching everything in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the two people on night duty at the door fainted unconsciously.

Zheng Chenyan clapped his hands and handed the remaining medicinal powder to Shen Xinyue next to him.

"Little junior sister, this is a soft tendon powder specially prepared by me, colorless and odorless, as long as you sprinkle a little lightly, make sure that the other party sleeps like a dead cow, and you won't wake up by playing a drum in his ear."

"Senior Brother Xie." Shen Xinyue happily put away the medicinal powder, and then led a few people into the warehouse where the medicinal materials were placed.

Shen Gui'an opened the mouth of a bag, wanting to confirm the goods, but when he saw the contents clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "Eldest sister, these herbs don't seem to be the same as the ones we saw in the pharmacy before?" ”

Although he didn't understand medicinal materials, he had seen it when Shen Xinyue asked for an inspection at the Jimin Pharmacy before, so he still had some impressions.

"Horse frightened grass, red light fruit, thousand tangled vines?"

When Zheng Chenyan saw these herbs, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Little junior sister, these are all excellent herbs for making hemp boiling powder!"

Shen Xinyue: "Is it worth it?" ”

Zheng Chenyan snorted: "It can only be said that it is hard to find a thousand gold." ”

That's easy to do.

Shen Xinyue hurriedly beckoned: "Big brother and second brother, move all these herbs away." ”

When Shen Fuan and Shen Guian heard her words, they hurriedly came over and went out with a bag each.

"This thing is expensive, be careful not to get dirty." This is hard to find, Shen Xinyue hurriedly admonished.

With that, she walked to the other row of shelves with herbs, and although they were not the herbs she had ordered before, they were all received as ordered.

Shen Ergou and the other two descendants in the village came over and resisted all the bags of medicinal herbs on the shelf.

Zheng Chenyan: "There are so many precious herbs, not like an ordinary herb shopkeeper can get them. ”

Shen Xinyue had a guess in her heart, so she said: "I estimate that this person surnamed Liu should be the same as the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, both of them are helping them." And these herbs and people can provide them with a certain trial. ”

Zheng Chenyan nodded: "As for what kind of test it is, I may know when I find that half of the book." ”
