Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 209 Seeing Through
"Ah?" The aunt did not expect her to react like this.
Lu Ke'er seemed very interested.
"Auntie, which village are you from?"
"It's... the village on the other side of the mountain."
"Auntie, I am not bragging. The stewed food I make is rare in the world and is unique. Auntie, if you want to learn, I can teach you. After you learn, your business will surely flourish. In the future, you don't have to travel all the way to the academy to sell eggs. People will chase you to buy stewed eggs."
"No... no need for that. Our small business..."
"Selling braised food is a small business." Lu Ke'er blinked, "It doesn't require much capital."
The lady shook her head and said, "Let's talk about this later. Little girl, try my boiled eggs. They are not worse than your... that braised egg."
"Really?" Lu Ke'er blinked and said, "Okay. How much is one?"
"Two...two cents each."
The current market price is three cents for two raw eggs. Her boiled eggs are two cents, which is still cheap.
"Xiao Li, give me the money." Lu Ke'er winked at Chi Li.
Chi Li took out two cents and handed it to the lady.
The peasant woman reached out to take it.
In a flash, the two copper coins in Chi Li's hand suddenly flew out like arrows and hit the peasant woman.
Lu Ke'er saw that the peasant woman was motionless for a moment, still maintaining the posture of reaching out to take the copper coin.
Is this acupressure?
The world's number one killer is indeed worthy of his reputation.
If the peasant woman's eyes could spit fire, the academy would have been on fire by now.
She couldn't speak or move, and only her eyes could blink.
"Xiao Li, we really work well together." Lu Ke'er patted Chi Li, looking pleased, "It's worth it that I made such delicious food for you."
The movement on their side did not affect others, mainly because they were still some distance away from the crowd.
Lu Mingxi looked at the peasant woman curiously: "Sister, Brother Xiaoli, what's wrong with this lady?"
"Haha, Auntie is wondering whether to accept the money." After Lu Ke'er finished teasing the little kid, she asked Chi Li, "Did you see Xiao Xi's name?"
"I saw it! It's in the first few rows of the list." Chi Li touched Xiaoxi's little head. He learned this move from Lu Ke'er.
"Oh my, our Xiao Xi is so amazing!" Lu Ke'er took the little bean's hand and walked towards the carriage, "Let's go home quickly and tell our parents the good news."
"Okay." Xiao Xi's attention was immediately diverted, and he jumped towards the carriage. He didn't notice that Chi Li quietly gestured behind him, and immediately a man jumped down from the nearby tree. The man picked up the peasant woman, jumped a few times, and disappeared.
After getting on the carriage, Xiao Xi saw Chi Li jumping up and asked, "Is that lady still there?"
"Well, she still has to do other people's business." Lu Ke'er answered for Chi Li.
"Sister, I'm a little hungry, can I eat that egg?"
"We brought a lot of snacks in the carriage. They are much more delicious than this egg." Lu Ke'er took out a box of snacks from the secret compartment of the carriage and handed it to the little kid.
This is the thousand-layer cake that little kids love to eat.
He ate it happily and threw the egg into the sky.
After returning home and waiting until there was no one around, Lu Ke'er asked Chi Li to catch a chicken, break off a small piece of the egg, and throw it to the chicken to eat.
The chicken ate it, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground and died.
"It's so poisonous." Lu Ke'er was amazed.
Although she was not afraid of poison because she was protected by spiritual energy, it would be difficult to explain to others why she did not die from the poison after eating it.
"Ke'er, how did you find out that this egg is poisonous?" Chi Li was a little curious.
"There are many flaws. First, although the peasant woman looks like a peasant woman, with thick hands and feet and calluses all over her palms, her fingernails are very clean, without any dirt, which is very unusual. Ordinary peasant women do farm work and housework every day, so their fingernails are usually not clean. Second, she said she came from the village behind the mountain. But there is no village behind the mountain. Third, anyone who is struggling to make a living will never give up trying the braised egg I mentioned. But she refused. I can only be sure that she didn't really want to sell eggs to make money, but wanted me to eat this egg. Why did she have to make me eat it? This egg is obviously problematic. Look, it was tested out with a chicken."
In fact, when she saw the peasant woman for the first time, she knew there was something wrong with her.
There was a black evil aura surrounding the peasant woman.
Chi Li secretly admired him.
"What about you? How did you find out that there was something wrong with her?" Lu Ke'er turned to ask him.
"I recognize her." Chi Li touched his nose. "She is a killer from the Soul-Seizing Tower. She is extremely strong and her usual method of killing is to break someone's neck with her hands. However, she doesn't know me. Moreover, I didn't expect that she would use poison to assassinate."
Lu Ke'er heard Chi Li talking about the Soul-Seizing Tower. When she learned about the Soul-Seizing Tower's despicable method of using poison to control the killer, she was disgusted with the Soul-Seizing Tower.
"Her target is me." Lu Ke'er didn't expect that she would encounter such an assassination attempt again.
The last time was at Pinxianlou. The target was Xiao Xiao, who was almost implicated. At that time, the assassination method was also poisoning.
Poisoning her again and again in front of her is simply... waving a knife in front of Guan Gong.
All I can say is that the other party didn't understand her, or maybe they did understand her a little but underestimated her.
Such an opponent is actually not to be feared.
But it is still annoying to face these life-and-death challenges again and again.
She now has goals in life. She wants to develop her career and build a beautiful home. She really hates these scoundrels coming to disturb her.
"This Soul-Seeking Tower is really annoying." She was very angry.
Chi Li was also a little depressed: "Chu Ying and I went to the lair of the Soul Seeking Tower and killed everyone in the tower. We also left the antidote and sent them a message through our Jianghu way, asking them to go back and get the antidote. You know, no killer knew the exact address of the Soul Seeking Tower before. It's a pity that we didn't find the owner of the tower. But later we learned that the Soul Seeking Tower was burned down and the antidote was taken away."
"Human nature is greedy. Some killers went back and took away all the antidotes. Perhaps they also wanted to use it to control their poisoned companions." Lu Ke'er sighed.
"Ke'er, I'm glad to have you." Chi Li was glad that he met her. "Huan Yan and the others didn't want to be controlled by others anymore, so they came to me. Although each of them has blood on their hands, none of them are vicious people. They are also helpless."
"I know they are your friends. Even though I don't understand them, I believe in you."
Chi Li felt warm in his heart.
He had never felt such unconditional trust before.
"Ke'er, Huanyan and the others want to stay like me."
"Same as you?" Lu Ke'er asked hesitantly.
"Yes. I will become a new villager of Lingxia Village and also your guard."
Lu Ke'er was even more surprised: "But...but I am just an ordinary farm girl, and Lingxia Village is just a small mountain village. They are good at martial arts, and everyone should be able to stand on their own in the martial arts world. Isn't it good to live a free and unrestrained life like this? Why would they want to stay?"
