  Chapter 24 Heavy Rain Encounter

   Shopkeeper Hu immediately paid the two thousand taels of silver bills, and the twelve taels were exchanged into pieces of silver and copper coins according to their request.

  Zhao Liya and Hu Ling thanked each other, got up and left.

   "It's really great, it sold for a good price! Aya, you are amazing!" Hu Ling grinned and gave a thumbs up.

  Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Now our hands are much looser!"

"yes!"

  One thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but a considerable part of it will be spent immediately.

  The two of them still have to buy two ganoderma lucidum plants for business, planning to buy 40 to 60 years old.

  First, I found a pharmacy, which was not kind, and deceived them into trying to extort money because they didn’t understand anything. They asked for 1,000 taels per plant, and finally expressed their sympathy for them with great heartache, and gave them a discount, only 400 taels per plant.

  The two didn't say a word, they turned and left at the same time.

  Finally found a reliable one, bought two about 50 years old, and spent 250 taels. It was about the same price as that guy Yu Qingtang said.

  If it weren't for selling and buying at the same time, it would definitely make people suspicious, so they simply bought it in Yu Qingtang.

   After shopping, the two of them hired a car back to Gaolian County the next morning, and did not buy anything else in the provincial capital.

   It’s too far away to take it, but you can buy it in the county.

  Unexpectedly, my luck was not very good, the road collapsed halfway, and the whole road was blocked, making it impossible to pass. God knows how long it will take to wait.

The hired coachman was unwilling to wait here with them, and they didn't want to go back to the provincial capital, so they paid half of the fare here, and the coachman turned around and went back to the provincial capital. It is also possible to hire a bullock cart from a nearby village to go back to the county.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them reached the top of the mountain, a dark cloud floated in the sky, and after a while, it rained heavily.

   It is very dangerous to drive in the mountains under heavy rain, and it is easy to get lost.

  Fortunately, they saw a mountain temple not far away, and the two rushed to shelter from the rain.

  Not long after the two arrived at the mountain temple, they heard the sound of horseshoes, and a group of seven or eight people rode horses to the mountain temple, got off their horses in front of the temple, and entered the temple to shelter from the rain.

  Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other with a calm face, but secretly vigilant in their hearts.

  The other party obviously didn't expect to meet a strange young man and woman here, and was slightly startled, but soon relieved.

  It’s raining, it’s normal to bump into people while taking shelter from the rain.

  It’s not easy for a woman to disguise herself as a man. It’s okay for a while, and it’s easy to reveal her secrets. Zhao Liya has changed back to women’s clothes. This world is not so chaotic, and with Hu Ling as his companion, who would dare to make random decisions?

  Besides, I thought I could go home today in a carriage

   Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with them, so they cleared a place opposite them and sat down, talking in a low voice, except for looking at them when they first came in, there was no abnormal behavior.

  Zhao Liya and Hu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader on the opposite side is a young man in his twenties, with handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, thin lips slightly pursed, and a handsome face with cold and hard lines. His scalp was so tight that he dared not look directly at him.

  He didn't have any extra decorations all over his body, the jade hairpin that tied his hair looked simple and plain, and the material of the clothes seemed ordinary, but it was not simple upon closer inspection.

   When he just stepped in, Zhao Liya looked up subconsciously, and inadvertently met his gaze, which was as sharp as a sword, which almost made her lose her composure and change her face.

   She finally managed to make herself look back with a dull face, as if there was no wave.

  Zhao Liya thought to herself, this person must be very rich, maybe his status is not ordinary.

   Such people cannot be messed with, the best way is to stay away.

  Zhao Liya couldn't help looking at the rain, praying that the rain would stop soon.

  The faces of the children in June change as soon as they say it. They thought that the torrential rain like this would stop after a while, and it would be neat and tidy. They didn't expect to see it like this, as if there was no intention to stop.

  Unknowingly, the sky darkened, the rain continued unabated, and a layer of wet mist floated in the mountains, making the vision even more blurred.

   Hu Ling whispered to Zhao Liya: "What should we do? Are we going to spend the night here tonight?"

  The coachman showed them the way. From here, they climbed over the mountains and walked along the widest mountain road. They would encounter a village within ten miles.

   At that time, it will not be a problem to hire a donkey or ox cart in the village, and I will definitely be able to return to Gaolian County before dark.

  I regret it now. I knew I would not avoid the rain. Who knew it would rain for so long? It's getting dark now, and the fog has risen, so I dare not take the risk of wandering around.

  If it’s just the two of them, it doesn’t matter if you spend the night here, the weather is actually safer in this kind of weather. But who would have expected to meet a group of strangers by such a coincidence.

  Zhao Liya was absent-minded: "That can't be helped, just stay overnight."

  A flash of cold light flashed, a sharp flying knife shot out, and nailed Zhao Liya with a sound of "Zheng!" The momentum was too fast, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were so stupid that they didn't react at all!

  When Zhao Liya screamed "Ah!", the flying knife was nailed to her side!

   "What are you doing—" Hu Ling stood up abruptly, and his stern question got stuck in an instant. A snake covered in black and white flowers was writhing on the ground, and its abdomen was firmly nailed to the ground by a flying knife.

   Zhao Liya and Hu Ling's expressions changed, and they were startled.

  If it wasn't for this flying knife, Zhao Liya would have been in trouble. Although they didn't know what kind of snake it was, the color looked weird, and it probably wasn't a kind snake.

  Zhao Liya stood up, collected herself, nodded gratefully at the young master, and said, "Thank you, son!"

   Zhou Hansheng glanced at her and nodded slightly, then replied after a pause: "You're welcome."

  A follower beside him ran over, took back the throwing knife, grabbed the snake by the seven inches, crushed it and threw it out. He said with a smile: "Young Master is the best, this speed, this accuracy, no one else!"

   Several entourages and subordinates laughed and echoed.

  The attendant raised his eyebrows at Zhao Liya again, and said with a smile: "The girl is also very brave, she didn't scream in fright, I even covered my ears!"

   Not only did his brothers laugh and scold at these words, but Zhao Liya and Hu Ling couldn't help laughing too.

  Thanks to that snake, the atmosphere in the mountain temple is not so clear, it has become more lively and relaxed.

  Zhao Liya smiled: "I was also scared, but the young master shot too fast and didn't have time to scream. When I react and see what's going on, I won't be afraid anymore."

  She casually sent a good person card: "You are really good people!"

   A few good people seem to have never been praised as "good people", and they froze for a while, laughing.

   There was a tacit understanding. Everyone didn't curiously ask each other's identity, where they came from, etc., and couldn't help complaining about the unpredictable weather that caught people off guard.
