My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences-Chapter 85 - Buying Some Medicinal Herbs

85 Buying Some Medicinal Herbs

The general roared again. This time, it completely suppressed the shoving crowd below the city.

“If you want to enter the city, you can only do so with the pass. Anyone who wants to break through will be killed without mercy!” The general once again stated the conditions for entering the city.

The people looked at the corpse on the ground and finally stopped talking.

More than half of the people changed their paths and dispersed, but there were also many people squatting under the city wall.

“Master, do you need a servant girl to warm your bed?”

Qin Huai had only taken a few steps against the flow of people when he was pulled back by a middle-aged woman.

“No thanks.” Qin Huai swept the woman’s hand away.

“Please take a look!” The woman didn’t give up and waved behind her.

There were actually six young girls running over. The oldest one looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as Qin Huai, while the youngest was only as tall as his thigh, at most, seven or eight years old.

“Which one do you like?” The woman reached out and patted the young girls’ chests and butts. “Look, they all have a good foundation. As long as they drink some milk to supplement their nutrition, they will grow up well. If you like all of them, you can take them for three hundred taels!”

Qin Huai waved his hand again and left quickly.

“Two hundred taels!” the woman shouted from behind.

Qin Huai stopped in his tracks, thinking that two hundred taels was merely a drop in the ocean for him, who currently had more than twenty thousand taels.

It was better to help them. After bringing them into the city, he would leave them to their own devices.

Qin Huai sized up the six young girls. The clothes they were wearing were very thin. If he didn’t enter the city for a certain errand… It would probably be difficult for them to survive this winter.

Saving their lives was just a simple act of doing good…

He was just about to speak when his eyes swept across the crowd.

There were already around thirty old and young women staring at him. They were holding hands, and there was another huge group of people following behind them.

Young men and women were all available.

“Get lost!” Qin Huai snorted coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

“Mother!”

The girls quickly squatted down and helped the middle-aged woman up. The young girl in the lead, who was about the same age as Qin Huai, was about to stand up and berate him.

However, Qin Huai’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

“This person is really detestable…” The young girl gritted her teeth as tears continued to fall.

The middle-aged woman patted the young girl’s hand, signaling her to shut up.

Her right hand was tightly held by the middle-aged woman, because in this hand, there was an extra three hundred silver.

This money was enough for the seven of them to find a house in the forest and buy a few cotton-padded clothes, carrots, and cabbages to survive the winter.

The middle-aged woman didn’t dare to make a sound, because the people around her were fiercer than wolves.

In the distance, Qin Huai sighed faintly. “This man-eating world…”

These people were just like him. They wanted to live a stable and warm life. Why was it so difficult?

If he didn’t have the golden finger, he would probably end up like them.

“I wonder if a great man will appear in this vast world and let the people of the world live a stable life without worrying about food and shelter…”

After some time, Qin Huai entered the city and went to the Luo manor first.

Before he arrived, he saw many people coming in and out of the manor.

“Senior Brother, you’re back.”

Luo Ya was wearing a brand-new red dress. The fabric seemed to be a little tight, vaguely revealing her curvaceous figure.

She quickly grabbed Qin Huai’s arm and walked in.

“Why is the house so lively?” Qin Huai looked inside and saw that there were people squatting everywhere. Their clothes were disheveled, but they were all smiling.

“Isn’t it because our family has earned quite a bit from making armor these days, so much money that we can’t finish spending it… They happened to meet a lot of refugees who had entered the city. My mother said that I should just spend some money…”

“Didn’t the Buddhist temple in the county say that one should be compassionate? Saving a person is better than building a seven-story Pagoda or something like that?”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I have to go and help…” Luo Ya laughed happily, and it was obvious that she was enjoying it.

“Hu…” Qin Huai looked at the manor and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

The bad luck in his heart immediately dissipated a little. He rolled up his sleeves and followed Luo Ya to distribute the porridge.

It was not until late at night that everyone finally had time to rest.

The family of four was holding a bowl of noodles and squatting on the steps of the lobby. The original square table had been taken away to put the porridge.

“Huai’er, don’t worry. I’ve already left more than ten thousand taels of silver for you, and I’ve also asked my friends in the county city. Buy a smaller house. It’s more than enough to set up a blacksmith’s stall,” Luo Huatian said as he rolled up his sleeves. “These busy days have made this rich merchant lose a lot of weight.”

“It’s fine. Even if I don’t have money, I can still make a name for ourselves in the river.” Qin Huai patted his chest. He had his golden finger, so even if he went to the county, he would be able to gain a place quickly.

It was a busy night. However, Qin Huai slept very soundly.

The next morning, Luo Ya accompanied Qin Huai to the medicinal herbs street in the city.

“Young Master, what would you like to order?”

In the front hall of a large apothecary, a shrewd-looking middle-aged man ran out from behind a cabinet with a smile.

“10 pounds of wolfberry, 10 pounds of mai dong, 5 pounds of crushed huanhuang grass, 7 pounds of wuguan ear…” Qin Huai stated the materials he needed to cultivate the golden blood one by one.

Meanwhile, Luo Ya’s blush spread from her ears to her toes as Qin Huai revealed the name of the medicine.

The smile on the shrewd middle-aged man’s face froze. ‘This… This isn’t the right way to nourish the body.’

If he were to do so, he would probably be stabbing this young master with a knife.

What was released might not be blood, but it would definitely be filled with essence.
