Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

"Aunt, the Baicaotang you mentioned is..."

Niu Zhen often went to Xinghua County as a driver and knew a lot about the county.

Li Qiu, the owner of Baicaotang, knew Li Chun, the owner of Yunlai Inn, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Li Qiu would occasionally go to Yunlai Inn for dinner or to see patients. He had seen Li Qiu before, and he looked like a kind-hearted person.

Once, after Li Qiu had a meal at Yunlai Inn, he went back to Baicaotang and hired his car. When he got off the car, Li Qiu paid the fare and gave him a handful of copper coins as a tip.

Baicaotang has a very good reputation in Xinghua County. The prices of its medicinal materials are reasonable and the quality of the medicinal materials is also good.

Such a pharmacy and such a shopkeeper are worthy of trust.

If he really went to the doctor to treat his leg, he would not be able to cure it, and he could not afford the consultation and medicine fees. It was a good thing that he had the opportunity to receive free treatment.

But now the family's food and drink all depend on him driving the cart to earn money. If he wants to treat his leg, he must stop working, and if he stops working, he will lose his wages. What will the adults and children eat and drink? His wife is pregnant again, the two children are still young, and the family is poor...

As soon as Niu Zhen thought of the reality, the hope that had just been ignited was shattered in an instant.

Xiaoyue saw that Niu Zhen was eager to make a move, so she said nothing more.

Both fell into silence.

It was Xiaoyue who broke the silence and said, "Niu Zhen, it's almost time to rest. Let's continue walking."

"Oh, okay, auntie."

Niu Zhen agreed dully, sat on the shaft of the cart and waved the whip.

"Niu Zhen, don't turn at the next intersection, just go straight."

"Go...straight?"

"Yes, go straight, towards the capital."

"Oh. Got it, auntie."

The carriage drove towards Shangjing City. Xiaoyue and Niu Zhen didn't say anything on the way. When they were about to reach Shangjing City, Niu Zhen finally couldn't help but spoke first.

"Aunt, I really only knew about the underground black market from the conversations of the passengers on the bus. I really didn't lie to you."

"Ok, I know."

"I, I also heard from a customer that if you want to go to the underground black market, you usually need to find a broker to take you in. If you really want to go, I know a broker."

"When is it convenient for you to take me to see him?"

Niu Zhen did not answer immediately, but said cautiously: "Aunt, I didn't know that man before, but he had ridden in my car a few times, and we got to know each other so we chatted for a while. He said that I met many people while driving and could introduce him to customers. If I succeed, he will give me some benefits."

"I only know how to bring people to him. I don't know anything else. And... and you, Auntie, are the first guest I brought there."

"Niu Zhen, don't worry. No matter what happens today, Auntie won't blame you. If it's convenient now, take me to find him."

Niu Zhen heard the decisiveness and determination in Xiaoyue's words, and also smelled the sharpness in her tone, so he stopped refusing and hesitating. He swung a whip into the air, urged the horse to run, and said "OK" loudly at the same time.

A few simple conversations made Niu Zhen feel like a different "aunt".

A person dares to go to the underground ghost market. The aunt in the car is not what she seems.

Not easy, my aunt!

About half an hour later, Niu Zhen brought Xiaoyue to Taohua Town. After entering the town, it took only a cup of tea to reach a place called Wenxuan Teahouse.

In the original owner's memory, he knew that Taohua Town was formerly called Nanshou Town.

Nanshou, as the name implies, guards the south. Nanshou Town is just a stone's throw away from Shangjing City and is the southern gate guarding Shangjing City.

This place is close to the capital city, the terrain is relatively flat, and the land is relatively fertile. Almost all of the people here have turned their estates into their own farms, as do the royal relatives and high-ranking officials.

A few years ago, someone planted a lot of peach trees here, claiming there were ten thousand acres of peach forest, so the town was renamed Taohua Town.

After the name change, the town gradually became lively and prosperous.

Every spring, many people come here to enjoy the peach blossoms. In autumn, peaches are sold everywhere in the streets and alleys. It is said that the peaches here are very delicious.

Let's talk about the Wenxuan Teahouse in front of us. In Xiaoyue's memory, there was also a Wenxuan Teahouse in Shangjing City. But she didn't know who was the owner behind it.

Niu Zhen stopped the car, respectfully helped Xiaoyue get out of the car, and respectfully helped Xiaoyue into the teahouse. Although Xiaoyue was wearing a fine cotton dress, she was supported by Niu Zhen, and she deliberately showed dignity and seriousness, which gave people the demeanor of a husband.

Although Niu Zhen walked with a limp, he was tall and had the killing aura he had acquired on the battlefield. He was dressed in coarse cloth, which gave people the illusion that he was a guard of a large family.

The waiter saw that the two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their aura was not that of ordinary people. They also asked for a private room upstairs, so he did not dare to neglect them.

Xiaoyue saw that the waiter had a look in his eyes, so after ordering tea and snacks, she gave him a few copper coins as a tip. Niu Zhen saw that the waiter had received the money, and his eyebrows became even more flattering, so he took the opportunity to ask if the shopkeeper was there, as he had a friend coming to visit.

When the waiter heard that he knew his own boss, he became even more polite and bent his back. He even walked backwards with his back bent when he left, and the sound of the door closing was so gentle that it was almost inaudible.

Xiaoyue asked Niu Zhen to sit down, but Niu Zhen refused to do so and stood behind Xiaoyue like a guard. Seeing Xiaoyue wanted to pour tea, he stepped forward and poured water like a servant. Xiaoyue was not polite and thought it would be a good idea to take Niu Zhen out with her in the future.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, getting closer and closer, then the door opened and a very easy-going middle-aged man came in.

"Brother Niu, what scent brings you here? Who is this?"

"Hello, Shopkeeper Ma. This is..."

Niu Zhen wanted to introduce her, but suddenly realized that he could only call her "Auntie". He still didn't know her last name, name, job, or where she lived. He didn't know how to continue the introduction.

Xiaoyue knew that Niu Zhen couldn't continue, so she quickly took over Niu Zhen's words: "Hello, Shopkeeper Ma. I heard something from Niu Zhen and I'm very interested. I want to talk to you. I wonder if you can do me the honor?"

"Ah—no problem."

Shopkeeper Ma's shrewd eyes turned quickly and his face immediately broke into a smile.

"This tea - it's my treat today. Buddy, change it to a good pot of tea. And bring two more plates of snacks."

Shopkeeper Ma shouted towards the door, and the waiter immediately came in and took away the tea and snacks.

"Shopkeeper Ma is so polite."

"No big deal. Just making friends."

"Brother Niu, you sit down too."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Ma. Auntie, you..."

"I'm fine. If you need anything, go ahead."

"I don't have anything to do. Since Brother Niu has something to do, go do it first. We can talk again when we have a chance."
