No taboos

Chapter 14 The Consequences of Bargaining

Wu Haishan lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes and let A Guang sleep on the floor.

Ah Guang fell asleep as soon as he lay down, while Wu Haishan was flipping pancakes on the bed. Who was that old man? His skills were like those of an alchemy cultivator, but also a bit like a magic cultivator...

Don’t worry about it. Just wait outside the village tomorrow. When that kid comes out, break his hands and feet and bring him back to report to the Saint Lady.

……

Xu Yuan had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a series of moaning and groaning sounds from next door.

The man was panting heavily.

Xu Yuan was annoyed and irritated. How could I listen to this at my age?

How can I listen to this?!
He covered his ears with his clothes, but the noise from next door was getting louder and louder, and the woman was becoming more and more unbridled...

After the orgy, the man was still gasping for breath. Before he could calm down, Xu Yuan heard another female voice continue.

Xu Yuan held his head in pain.

In the second half of the night, a series of pecking sounds came from the neighbor's room on the other side, as if a hard bird's beak was pecking strips of fresh meat from the bones.

"How can I sleep?" Xu Yuan complained.

Jiao Erbo's house is indeed cheap, but as for the environment, don't have any too high expectations.

……

Wu Haishan was awakened by the sound of banging on the door in the morning.

"Merchants, everyone can't wait, let's get up and do business."

Wu Haishan somersaulted off the bed, secretly blaming himself for being careless. What if Xu Yuan ran away... He quickly opened the door and rushed out to see if Xu Yuan was still there.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, he was blocked by a group of villagers.

They were carrying all kinds of mountain products, leather, herbs, fruits, minerals, etc. When Wu Haishan came out, these people raised the things in their hands in front of him and asked, "What do you want to exchange?"

Wu Haishan was anxious: "Get out of the way!"

He pushed aside a fat man who was blocking his way. The fat man did not move at all and raised the bundle of pheasant feathers in his hand: "I want two taels of salt."

Wu Haishan was shocked. After all, he was a ninth-rate alchemy practitioner and shouldn't be unable to push an ordinary villager.

"Old Chen! Zhou Qiao and Wang Jiu!" Wu Haishan shouted to his three subordinates outside.

The villagers had already surrounded him. "Why aren't you starting yet? Are you a fake merchant trying to scam us?"

Wu Haishan raised his hand and said, "We are truly merchants. Everyone who is waiting for me, gather together and start immediately!"

After a while, someone suddenly called out weakly from behind the crowd: "Old Wu, I, I'm here."

Wu Haishan hurriedly asked everyone to make way, only to see martial artist Lao Chen, holding onto the wall, walking towards him with a dark and weak face. Compared to his strong and muscular appearance yesterday, he had lost a lot of weight!
Wu Haishan was shocked: "What's wrong with you..."

Old Chen almost burst into tears: "Dozens of them took turns coming up here all night. If I weren't a martial artist, I would have died here!"

The fat man curled his lips and said, "Fifty taels of silver a night, and you only gave me a hundred coins, so of course I have to pay something else.

There are many widows in the village, and borrowing some seeds won’t kill anyone.”

Wu Haishan suddenly realized something: A Guang said that the people here are simple and honest and won’t ask for random prices. So this is what he meant!
"Where are Zhou Qiao and Wang Jiu?" Wu Haishan shouted. They had also bargained last night. The fat man said impatiently, "I told you it won't kill anyone! Second Brother Hao has a lot of children at home, so he should give them more food. If you don't want to, then you have to help feed the children."

Wu Haishan felt a chill running from his heels all the way to the top of his head!
"What did you do to them?!"

Wu Haishan rushed out regardless of everything, and walked a few steps to the house where Wang Jiu was staying in Zhouqiaohe. When he opened the door, he saw two people lying in the yard basking in the sun.

Hao Erge and his wife stood by and said, "Let it get some sun, and it will grow back."

When the two saw Wu Haishan, tears suddenly welled up in their eyes.

Each of them was missing a leg, severed at the thigh.

There was a deep claw mark on his face.

Last night they were grabbed by the face so tightly that they couldn't even scream.

When Brother Hao Er saw Wu Haishan, he immediately said, "I have two baskets of medicinal herbs. I want to exchange them for a pound of salt. There are too many children, and they eat too fast..."

Wu Haishan was furious and spit out a mouthful of flames: "You still want to exchange things? You evil spirits, burn you to death!"

Second Brother Hao let out a strange cry and quickly climbed onto the roof, putting an end to Wu Haishan's anger.

Hao Erge was yelling from the rooftop: "These people are liars, they are not merchants!"

"What?!" The villagers' eyes immediately turned cold and they surrounded the yard from all sides: "Kill the liar!"

Wu Haishan suddenly calmed down. This village was definitely not a simple one! Not to mention that unfathomable mountain runner!
"I'm not a liar!" Wu Haishan hurriedly took out some silver. "I have money. I'll buy any mountain products you have. The price is fair!"

"What do we need so much money for? We need matches, salt, and iron pots..."

Wu Haishan turned around and saw that the door of Jiao Erbo's house was open. Several villagers rushed over, thinking that the people who came yesterday were all the same. "You are a liar too..."

"I'm not!" Xu Yuan took out salt, matches, and a few kitchen knives. "What mountain products do you have? The price is negotiable, but I didn't bring an iron pot this time."

These were all bought from Grandma Ying.

Xu Yuan glanced at Wu Haishan coldly and said, "I hate these swindlers just as much as you do. They've ruined the reputation of our merchants. Such scum must not be forgiven!"

Second Brother Hao landed on the roof. When he heard this, his eyes rolled and he started yelling, "Kill him! Kill the liar and leave the meat for me..."

The villagers, who were already very excited, could not stand such instigation and immediately rushed forward.

Wu Haishan broke out in a cold sweat and waved his hands repeatedly to explain: "We are definitely not scammers, we are members of the Pingtian Society..."

Seeing that the villagers were about to drown him, the panic and fear in Wu Haishan's eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a fierce look!
boom!
The fire in his abdomen suddenly erupted and gushed out from his mouth, nose and other orifices.

The villagers were caught off guard and were blown seven or eight feet away, wailing incessantly.

The screams sounded strange, some like wolves howling, some like pigs hissing, and some like birds crying...

Wu Haishan strode out of the yard, and Brother Hao Er let out a strange cry and swooped down from the roof - but he didn't know that Wu Haishan hated him to the core and had been waiting for him.

A pitch-black pill flew from the air!
Hao Erge had many children and was always timid and cautious, fearing that if he died, his widow and his children would be left with no one to raise them. Seeing the Dan Xiu attack, he spun in the air, trying to fly back to the roof.

Unexpectedly, the pill exploded into a ball of gray mist with a puff, and a huge spider shadow emerged from it.

The spider spun out silk, and in an instant it became a big web, catching Brother Hao right on the head!
