"Ouch, my leg..."
"My arm..."
The man with the triangular eyes coldly surveyed the crowd. "If you want to be like them, you can continue?"
To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey.
He struck one after another, beating up several people.
At this moment, the crowd fell silent, not daring to even raise their heads.
"Ninth rank!"
"The Wild Wolf Gang has quite a few martial artists."
Li Yuan sensed his vital energy the instant he made his move, but it was very weak, indicating that the triangular-eyed man's strength was not great.
But it's more than enough for ordinary people.
Next, the man with the triangular eyes led his men to collect the customary fees from door to door.
For some families who didn't have enough, they would ransack the place, smash things...and hear pleas and wails...
"Is the money ready?"
The man with the triangular eyes led his men to the Li family's residence.
Li Yuan stepped forward with a forced smile and presented the money with both hands, saying, "Sir, this is my allowance. Please take a look."
"Wow, that's pretty straightforward."
After taking it, the man with the triangular eyes opened it and looked inside. There were exactly thirty coins, no more, no less.
"If it weren't for the Wild Wolf Gang's support, this clinic definitely wouldn't be able to stay open. Paying the fee is only right," Li Yuan said with a smile, flattering them.
"She does know how to talk."
The man with the triangular eyes spoke calmly, then sat down, took the money, but showed no intention of leaving.
Li Yuan's heart tightened. "Is this someone looking for trouble?"
"I heard that Doctor Li stockpiled a lot of medicinal herbs before he left, is that right?"
Is this some kind of scheme to steal his medicinal herbs?
"That's true, the price of medicinal herbs is indeed skyrocketing right now!"
"I did stockpile some, but half a year has passed, and a lot of it has been used up." Li Yuan maintained his 'humble' smile.
"How about this, I won't let you lose out, sell the medicinal herbs to me at the original price."
His tone wasn't one of inquiry, but rather a direct command; if Li Yuan disagreed, he would take action immediately.
"OK!"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, his face showing heartache, "But the medicinal herbs need to be sorted and packed properly, which will take some time. I'll pack them up and send them to you later."
"That was so satisfying?"
The man with the triangular eyes was quite surprised, as he had expected that it would take some effort.
"Of course, of course."
Li Yuan smiled ingratiatingly.
If he doesn't give it to him, his identity as a martial artist will be exposed, but he doesn't have that intention yet.
The frail-looking doctor is not very conspicuous, but he is very useful.
"Hahaha...."
The man with the triangular eyes laughed heartily, patting his shoulder forcefully with his calloused hand, quite satisfied. "Very good, but you don't need to deliver it. I'll have someone come and pick it up tomorrow."
Only then did he leave the Li family satisfied, accompanied by his two followers.
As soon as they left, Wang Xiulan came out of the inner room, her face panicked. "A-Yuan, what should we do? Do we really have to give them to them?"
"Don't worry, Mother, I know what I'm doing."
Li Yuan looked outside, his face as cold as frost.
"You're asking for it, so don't blame me."
This is what is meant by "possessing a treasure is a crime."
During the great battles outside, medicinal herbs were considered war supplies.
This batch of medicinal herbs will be coveted by others even if we keep them at home. Let the Wild Wolf Gang take them away this time, and then I'll bring them back myself. Once the golden silkworm has shed its shell, it won't be coveted by anyone anymore.
.....
News of the Li family's medicinal herbs being "robbed" by the Wild Wolf Gang spread quickly throughout Willow Tree Village.
This was something Li Yuan did intentionally.
Some people just pretended not to hear it; they couldn't even make ends meet themselves, so why should they care about these things?
Some people also spoke ill of her, such as Aunt Liu.
The person she hated most was not only He Qiushi, but also Li Yuan. If it weren't for him, Uncle Liu wouldn't have been caught, and their family wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Human hearts are unpredictable!"
Wang Xiulan shook her head and sighed helplessly.
"If you're doing better than others, of course they're unhappy!"
Li Yuan said calmly.
"Ah Yuan..."
Just then, a figure came running up in a hurry, "What's wrong? Don't you have enough money? I have some left at home, do you want some?"
Uncle Chen said, panting.
Li Yuan's expression immediately changed, revealing helplessness. "We have enough money. It's the Wild Wolf Gang who's eyeing our family's medicinal herbs. They won't give them to us..."
"Why!"
He sighed and shook his head dejectedly.
But this time I was really touched. In this Willow Tree Neighborhood, only Uncle Chen's family is really nice.
"This...this world...it's outright robbery!"
Uncle Chen looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Old Li is gone, you've suffered." He patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, then looked at Wang Xiulan, "Just consider it a loss to avoid further trouble, don't be sad."
"Why!"
Wang Xiulan wiped away her tears, "I really can't go on like this anymore."
Watching his mother's performance, Li Yuan burst into tears, almost unable to hold back his laughter.
After comforting him for a while, Uncle Chen left.
"Mom, that's good."
Li Yuan joked.
"I'll go cook." Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes at him and headed towards the kitchen.
.....
The following evening.
That day, two henchmen with triangular eyes came and left with a pile of medicinal herbs, and... they didn't pay them, saying they would pay them after the herbs were handed over.
Li Yuan almost laughed out of anger.
Wait?
That means there isn't one!
"Hmph, so your family's gotten into this mess?"
Not far away, Aunt Liu looked at Li Yuan and smiled with immense joy.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow, but then laughed. "At least they don't steal or rob, much better than your family. Also... I heard Uncle Liu has been sent to the front lines. You should see him before you leave..."
With that, he slammed the door shut.
Outside, Aunt Liu's face was almost contorted with anger, but when she thought of her husband, her eyes reddened.
"Let's go back. A-Yuan didn't do anything wrong."
Why bother?
"What's it to you!"
.....
Night completely enveloped the earth.
After disguising himself, Li Yuan quietly left, taking the horizontal sword with him.
Baiyunfang.
He got the information about the triangular-eyed man's home from his two henchmen this evening.
Moreover, judging from what the two of them said, the medicinal herbs were to be delivered directly to the triangular-eyed man, and someone from the group would come to collect them.
in the house.
The man with the triangular eyes drank his wine while his two lackeys flattered him.
"Master Jiao is truly amazing. This batch of medicinal herbs is worth tens of taels of silver. He's struck it rich!"
"That's right, that's right, much better than Tie Niu."
The man with the triangular eyes was thoroughly enjoying himself. "Don't worry, you two will definitely get a share of the profits after this batch of medicinal herbs is sold."
"Thank you, Master!"
One of them immediately got up and poured him a drink.
"Um!"
The man with the triangular eyes nodded slightly, picked up his wine glass, but hadn't yet put it to his mouth.
Bang!
The door was kicked open.
"Who are you?"
He suddenly stood up and roared, but when he saw the horizontal sword in Li Yuan's hand, his eyes widened in terror. "You...you're the one who killed Tie Niu?"
Li Yuan's figure flashed by like a leaf, but he was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the triangular-eyed man, and a flash of light appeared on his blade.
The triangular-eyed man revealed the most terrified look he had ever had.
My left arm slowly flew up, and I didn't even feel the slightest pain.
As blood spurted out, excruciating pain followed.
"ah--"
A scream echoed throughout the room.
