Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 978: Perhaps Someone Acquainted

"Not long ago, there was also a couple who came to buy things from me, but instead of fabric, they purchased quite a few medicinal herbs."

"?" Li Wenli raised an eyebrow: "You have medicines here too?"

"Of course, from clothing, food, shelter, transportation, to medicine and tools, I have everything here. It’s just that people from your area don’t appreciate it that much. That young lady, however, had a good eye and bought all my medicinal pills."

Bai Junjun instinctively felt that the young lady who bought medicine from Big Beard at this time was no ordinary person, and could not help but ask, "What is the young lady’s name?"

Big Beard shook his head: "I don’t pry into others’ privacy. Just like with you two, even if someone asks later on, I’ll also feign ignorance. However, that’s under the premise that I genuinely don’t know, since I didn’t ask, so it’s not lying hahaha."

Seeing Big Beard’s experienced and smug demeanor, Bai Junjun was at a loss for words.

However, thinking that the young lady might be someone she knew, she couldn’t just let it be and changed the subject.

"This young lady might be my friend. If she comes back in the next few days, could you trouble yourself to notify me? You don’t have to do anything, just crush this flower, and that will be enough."

Big Beard looked puzzled, "Crush the flower and you’ll know?"

This Central Plains is indeed mysterious, but the more I think about it, the stranger it seems.

Li Wenli laughed: "We have a lot of these kinds of sentiments here, such as expressing feelings by breaking off a willow branch, or being reminded of someone by seeing a certain object and the like. When the familiar fragrance of the crushed flower spreads, it’s almost like having seen a friend in person, so I do hope the shopkeeper can grant us this favor."

"Oh, oh!" Big Beard seemed to understand, but also seemed not to.

But he did take the flower anyway: "Since that’s the case, I shall do this kindness for you."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Big Beard." Bai Junjun bowed deeply to Big Beard in gratitude.

The group exchanged pleasantries for a bit longer before departing.

As the sun rode high, the tempers of the guards grew short.

Labeled as suspicious individuals and with their heads wrapped from end to end, the two were subjected to questioning by nearly every patrol team they encountered. With the experience of being interrogated at alley entrances, their response to the guards became increasingly adept, so much so that towards the end, they were as carefree as dead pigs in boiling water, unafraid of being investigated as they brazenly carried on.

After walking around Biluo City confidently, they only then pretentiously carried home sacks of rice and cooking oil as if nothing had happened.

On the way back, the neighbors gaped at Li Wenli’s full load, wondering since when had Fei Hua become so generous?

Ever since she had taken charge of the household, she had not made substantial purchases, and Scholar Feng had become even more diligent, mooching rice and cooking oil from the neighbors. Everyone would shut their doors at mealtime, precisely to avoid encountering Scholar Feng.

And yet, unexpectedly, the couple seemed to have come to their senses after having had a quarrel.

Seeing them come back with bags large and small, the neighbors grew curious, and some were even eager to demand the return of the rice and oil they had lent out. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

But before they could follow through, the head of the household stopped them.

"That’s enough. You should be relieved that they won’t come to borrow rice anymore. Are you still dreaming about getting your stuff back? Don’t draw those two back over here again. Let me tell you, the Feng Family is utterly without hope now, you’d best not expect anything else."

The neighbors’ continual chatter reached the ears of the two, but they said nothing and just quickened their pace into the alley.

In fact, what the neighbors were saying was not wrong. The house of Scholar Feng indeed had no hope left and had become a house of extinction overnight, with nothing left but this broken house.
