A tall man walked in, looked around, found that everything was normal, stood at the door for a moment, and then went out.

"I was so scared..."

When packing up things just now, Xiangxiang only packed up the medicinal herbs in the boxes. The big boxes were still there intact, just empty.

The man who just came in stood at the door for a while, with a hint of doubt on his face.

He always felt something was wrong. There seemed to be footsteps in the house, but in broad daylight, there was no one in sight. Perhaps the medicinal herbs had been left here for too long and attracted rats?

At this time, the mouse Song An Ning had already gone to the next room, took a short rest in the living creature grid, and then continued to be busy.

"Ding, I bought back 500 kilograms of wild Gastrodia elata, and the amount was 230 taels."

"Ding, I collected 600 kilograms of Dendrobium officinale, and the amount I received is 950 taels."

"Two boxes of wild bird's nest, two thousand one hundred taels received. One box of natural bezoar, six hundred taels received..."

This room contains the truly valuable items. Even though Song Anning was so exhausted that he became like a pufferfish, he still didn't forget to put bird's nest, ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum into his backpack.

Now, there were still the love-filled buns and eggs that Wang Qiuyue had made for her in her backpack, but she couldn't just throw them on the ground, so she had to put them in the small wooden box containing ginseng and snow lotus.

The herbs have been almost collected, Xiangxiang said, there are still six minutes left and she doesn’t want to waste a single second.

She returned to the living creature grid to take a breath. The next few rooms were filled with seasonings and food, all packed in cloth bags. As long as she collected them, she would be able to find them at a glance.

The food was worthless, so Song An Ning hesitated for a moment and then moved to the next room.

There are three rooms connected together, filled with silks and satins, but unfortunately, the system does not accept them.

"Master, you can put it in your backpack. All the colorful silks are counted as one type, and the rest are also counted as one type. This is a good thing."

These were piled together in large bundles. As long as Song Anning stretched out his hand, things of the same type were automatically sorted into the backpack.

Here, Song Anning was busy as a dog, but Xiangxiang didn't forget to popularize science:

"Aya is the cheapest here, but it's very strong and can be used for hanging..."

"..."

"Luo's words are very breathable. They are usually used by nobles as inner garments. They are not cheap."

"Satin has different sheen on both sides, so if you're making clothes out of it, be sure to wear it inside out. This brocade is the most expensive, worth a fortune.

Ordinary people can easily get beheaded if they wear it.

In fact, these fabrics are supposedly only used by the royal court or the nobility. Even the richest merchants in our town wouldn't dare wear them casually. Master, please keep them in your backpack and don't take them out easily."

Song An Ning knew that if he stole someone's things and then put them on, it would be like putting his head on the edge of a knife.

It would be a waste if I didn't accept them. I collected the silks and satins for three rooms in just over a minute. It was not a loss. Maybe I can use them in the future.

When they arrived at the last few rooms, there was nothing else in the room but black iron blocks. In that era, iron was a good thing and was also controlled by the court. It was difficult for Wanhetang to hoard so much.

These irons were piled in one place, so it was quick to put them away. It only took two minutes to put away six or seven rooms.

There were only two minutes left, and he couldn't get to the two rows of warehouses in front. Song An Ning calmed down, took a breath in the grid, and rushed out through the wall as quickly as possible.

At this moment, she was closest to the western wall, so she thought about leaving from the west. However, she didn't expect that after passing through two walls, there were still several rows of warehouses, and the number of guards was twice as many as before.

"Oh my god, just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den."

"Master, run! These people are even more powerful than those just now."

Time passed by little by little. Song An Ning did not dare to delay for even a second, fearing that he would be stuck in the wall and unable to get out. He ran towards the north wall at a rapid speed.

"Hold your breath! Someone has spotted you. Fifty seconds left!"

Song An Ning held his breath and concentrated. After passing through the first wall, a guard had already caught up with him. He was also feeling strange. There was clearly someone chasing him, but there was nothing there.

He wanted to go outside to take a look, but he jumped over two walls and stood in the alley where Song An Ning came from, and looked around carefully.

In the last ten seconds, Song An Ning ran into the guard as soon as she came out. She let out a nervous breath, and the man immediately looked in her direction.

"Master, please show your true form!"

Fortunately, she still had the living grid. In the last few seconds, Song An Ning successfully got into the grid and squatted on the ground, gasping for breath.

The guard walked to where Song An Ning had just stood and stood there motionless, with a puzzled look on his face. Did he not get enough rest today? He always felt like there was something dirty.

Thinking of all the bad things they had done for their master, the guard felt a chill down his spine. No, he had to find some time to go to the temple and pray for peace of mind.

Seeing that there was no one around, he faced the wall and clasped his hands together, muttering silently: "Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me. This is all the fault of Wanhetang. Go find them..."

"..."

"Master, you can come out now. There is no one here. Please leave quickly."

Xiangxiang scanned around and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly asked Song An Ning to come out of the space.

Song An Ning didn't stop either. He lowered the brim of his hat and quickly walked out of the alley, going back the same way he came.

Unexpectedly, she met the man again, drinking tea and bragging at a tea stall.

Seeing Song An Ning coming over, he hurried forward and asked:

"Little brother, you're so young, and you're done already? That's too fast."

"..."

What outrageous talk was he making? Did he really think she'd gone to a backstreet brothel?

No, no, how should she explain it?

At this time, the man looked around furtively and spoke again:

"Little brother, do you want that medicine? I guarantee you'll be satisfied all night long..."

"Hahaha, Master, oh Master, you have come to this day too."

Song An Ning felt a chill, it was quite sudden. No wonder this man was so kind. It turned out that he was selling medicine at the door of the brothel. He was quite good at doing business.

"Well, I'll find you next time..."

After saying that, she staggered and fled. She didn't need this for the time being, so she just slipped away.

Hearing her say this, the man grinned happily: "Okay, I'm right here, come find me if you need anything! I'll give you the lowest price!"

"..."

When I returned to my aunt's residence, Zhang and Song Dashan were standing at the gate, pacing around anxiously.

"You old fool, I told you to follow me, but you refused to listen. It's been almost an hour, and this girl still hasn't come back. Are you worried now?"

Song Dashan smiled bitterly. He didn't follow because he listened to Aning.

I thought the child would be back after a while, but after a long time, he couldn't sit still and circled the gate several times.

"What's the point of wandering around here? I'll stay here to look for Juan'er. Go out and look for the child at Zuixianju. If you can't find the child, we can talk later."

After the two elders discussed it, they prepared to take action. Song An Ning was changing clothes in the alley next door, and Xiangxiang reported the two elders' words in real time.

He quickly bought a bag of brown sugar from the mall, took out a few pieces of donkey-hide gelatin he had just picked up from his backpack, wrapped them in oil paper, and then appeared in front of the two elders.

When removing the poison earlier, Xiangxiang had already detected that Song Juaner had consumed a lot of Qi and blood, her liver Qi was stagnant, and the cold and dampness had damaged her spleen. Not to mention harming her in the future, even if she was carefully taken care of, fed with good tonics and nurtured carefully, she would still be plagued by illness. It was good enough that she could get out of bed.

Song Juan'er was almost a stranger to her, but these were ready-made foods, so she could just take them out and eat them, which would also save her grandparents a lot of money.

"Where have you been, girl? I'm so worried!"

Zhang felt that she had never experienced such an exciting experience in her entire life as this morning. Her heart was in turmoil and she never calmed down.

"I went to buy some food for my aunt. Eat a little at a time to replenish your energy and blood."

Zhang opened the oil paper bag and saw the donkey-hide gelatin inside. Her face changed and she quickly put the bag back into Song An Ning's hands.

"Be obedient and retreat now!"
