After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

There were many rickshaws parked in front of the train station. Tao Junle's uncle, aunt and their family stopped two rickshaws as soon as they got out of the train station, with one adult and one child riding in one rickshaw.

But Tao Junle's cousin was the same age as him, fourteen years old. He did not have dwarfism and had already grown to the height of an adult man. Even if he rode in the same rickshaw with his mother, for the rickshaw driver, it was like pulling two adults.

Although Tao Junle's cousin was still young, only twelve years old, his uncle had a big belly and fat head and big ears, and it was not easy for the rickshaw driver to pull the two of them.

These two cars couldn't run fast at all. The fact that they could run at all was due to the great efforts of the two drivers.

Therefore, there was no need for Tong Jia and Tao Junle to take a rickshaw, as they could just walk and keep up.

About an hour later, two rickshaws stopped in front of a pharmacy.

Four people got off the rickshaw. Tao Junle's aunt gave money to the two rickshaw drivers respectively. Her two children ran excitedly into the drugstore.

Tong Jia looked at Tao Junle and asked, "Does your family have any property here?"

Tao Junle shook his head and wrote on paper: [There's none at my house. My aunt's home is here. She must be going back to her parents' home.]

Tong Jia nodded, carefully observed the environment around the pharmacy, frowned, and noticed something unusual.

She pulled Tao Junle, who was about to reach the door of the pharmacy, into the RV, then pointed to the four-way surveillance camera in the RV and said, "Lele, generally pharmacies should be opened in places with a large flow of people, and at the same time provide services such as seeing a doctor, prescribing medicine, and decocting medicine.

In places with large traffic, it is not only convenient for patients to see a doctor and receive treatment, but also convenient for them to purchase and sell medicinal materials.

But look at this place. Although it is not so remote that there is no village in front and no shop behind, it is still too remote.

There is a blacksmith shop just around the corner. The people living around here are all poor and don’t look like they can afford to buy medicine.

Have you met your aunt's parents? What kind of people are they? Would they be willing to sell medicine on credit to others?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Tao Junle's eyes. He stared at the four surveillance cameras and carefully looked at the environment outside the pharmacy. Something was indeed wrong.

He picked up the notebook and wrote: "I heard my mother say before that when my uncle and my aunt got married, my aunt's family asked for a huge sum of money. It was my mother who gave a lot of dowry to make up for it, so that my aunt could marry into the family smoothly.

He suddenly raised the price right before entering the store. He doesn't seem like a kind person who would give medicine on credit to the poor.

Tong Jia nodded and began to remove her makeup in the RV.

Tao Junle wrote: [Sister, are you going out? ]

Tong Jia said as she removed her makeup, "Yes. We have to be at the train station at five in the evening and leave here at four at the latest.

I can’t just waste time outside the pharmacy, I have to go in and see what’s going on inside.”

Tao Junle also wanted to go, but he knew that he could not show up this time because he grew up with his cousins and they were too familiar with each other. It would be easy to expose his identity, which would bring danger to Tong Jia.

So, even though he was reluctant and worried, he had to let Tong Jia go in by herself.

Tao Junle wanted to leave the RV with Tong Jia, but Tong Jia refused.

She was worried that Tao Junle was blinded by hatred, and if she didn't control him, he would rush in without any care.

So, she advised: "Le Le, I know you want to help me as soon as you get out, but after I enter the pharmacy, you are outside and it is impossible for you to know what is going on inside the pharmacy.

Instead of worrying, you might as well stay in the RV.

After I get into the pharmacy, I'll find a chance to come in.

This way, you can see what's happening in the pharmacy through four-way surveillance in your RV."

Tao Junle couldn't think of any other solution, so he just agreed with Tong Jia's opinion.

Tong Jia returned to her original appearance and was about to go out when Tao Junle stopped her.

She wrote on the notebook: [Sister, please make your face uglier. It's too pretty like this. My beastly uncle will have evil thoughts about it.]

Tong Jia scratched Tao Junle's nose and said, "If I were to do something else, I would definitely draw myself uglier.

But... this time I went to see a doctor, and it was a Chinese medicine doctor.

Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation. I just want to try and see how good your aunt's father is at medicine.

I suspect that the medicine that killed your parents and the medicine that made you mute may have come from your aunt's father.

And...it's fine if your uncle doesn't have any bad intentions, but I'll come back after I find out the source of the medicine.

If your uncle has any bad intentions, then this is a good opportunity for him to test my marksmanship, which I have been practicing for a month."

Tao Junle immediately wrote: "If that's the case, sister, you have to leave him some time to breathe. I'll kill him after I get out."

Tong Jia agreed, and Tao Junle let go of her hand.

Originally, after Tao Junle's uncle and aunt entered the pharmacy, they split into two groups.

One group was Tao Junle's uncle and his father-in-law, and they walked straight in.

The other group was Tao Junle's aunt, her mother, and two children, all sitting and chatting in the lobby of the pharmacy.

Just as they were chatting happily, a tall and slender young girl walked into the pharmacy.

The girl had long hair draped over her shoulders, a delicate and beautiful face, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like gemstones, and slightly raised red lips, with a sense of confidence and composure.

As soon as the young girl came in, the four people in the lobby, no, five people, including the pharmacy apprentice who was dozing off at the counter, all perked up and stood up.

Tao Junle's cousin pulled his aunt's hand and said in a voice that Tong Jia could hear, "Mom, I want to be as beautiful as this big sister.

Go ask her where she bought her clothes, I want them too."

Tong Jia was wearing a snow-blue fur-edged cheongsam with a white cashmere coat on the outside.

She looked like a lady from a wealthy family. Aunt Tao Junle was worried that her daughter's words might offend others, so she immediately covered her daughter's mouth and said to Tong Jia with a smile, "Don't mind, young lady. Everyone loves beauty. If you have any taboos about dressing, just pretend you didn't hear what I said."

Tong Jia smiled and said politely, "I don't mind, but it's a pity that I can't help.

My food, clothing, housing and transportation are usually taken care of by the servants at home. This time I went out without the servants, so I can’t ask them.”

Then he shifted his gaze to Aunt Tao's mother's face and asked, "Are you the owner of this pharmacy?"

After receiving the other party's nod of approval, Tong Jia continued, "It's like this. I came here from Shanghai to visit my relatives. I got separated from my servant on the way. She said she was here to visit relatives in this area. This is my first time here, and I'm not familiar with the place.

Looking at this piece...it's hard to describe.

After looking around, it seems that your family is the only one with good conditions.

Can I stay at your house for a few days until my servant comes to see me?

Don't worry, I will give you the money.

Ten silver dollars for three days' stay, is that okay?"

Tong Jia said this and took out ten silver dollars from his pocket.

As long as there is money to be made, what's wrong with that?

Aunt Tao immediately led Tong Jia happily and took her inside.

The women's rooms are at the very back, passing the study.

When passing by the study, Tong Jia clearly heard two men arguing inside.

Tong Jia frowned, looked at Aunt Tao unhappily, and asked, "Is your house normally this messy? It's really disturbing to people's rest."

Aunt Tao said, "No, no, our family is usually very harmonious. We just have some disagreements, but we can reconcile them quickly."

Tong Jia nodded, took out another twenty silver dollars, handed them to Aunt Tao, and said, "What I gave you just now was accommodation expenses, and now I give you food expenses.

I want to eat the signature dishes from the best restaurant here, and have three meals a day come from here. If it’s not enough, you can tell me again.”

After saying this, he closed the door and sent the guests away in a very arrogant manner.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Aunt Tao's face disappeared. She pouted at the door and whispered, "If our Tao family hadn't been robbed, I wouldn't have cared about the little money you gave me.

I had a little money, and I thought I was showing off to you, but now I've taken it all away from you, and you really don't know your place."

After complaining, he still went to the restaurant with his two children and his mother.

The four of them ordered a lot of delicious food at the restaurant, preparing to have lunch as a family, and only prepared a small lunch box for Tong Jia.

Of course, Tong Jia didn't know about these things. At this moment, she was eavesdropping on the conversation inside at the door of the study with Tao Junle.

Uncle Tao said, "Dad, this is really the last time. If you give me the medicine from last time, I'll take it back to the provincial capital and give it to the Miao family, and I won't have to sell the Tao family's ancestral home."

You don't want people to say that your son-in-law is a prodigal son who can't protect the inheritance left by our ancestors, right?

It doesn't make sense that my brother, a weak scholar, can hold on, but I can't!"

"Oh...son-in-law, have you ever thought that this might be retribution?" the old man said with a choked voice.

Uncle Tao disagreed and said, "I don't believe in retribution. You were the one who came up with the medicine and the idea. If there really is retribution, it would come upon you first."

"You...you...if I didn't want my daughter to live a good life, how could I have followed you to do so many conscienceless things? What you say now is that you are a complete ungrateful person...you..." The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.

Uncle Tao started to bring up the past with the old man, saying, "Don't flatter yourself, it's all for your daughter's good life.

Okay! You gave me the medicine to poison my brother and sister-in-law, and let me take over the family property so that your daughter can be the head of the Tao family.

But you openly run a pharmacy, but actually you run an opium den. All the medicines you sell are adulterated to make people addicted. How can that be considered a good deed?

If you hadn't hypocritically given me two doses of poison and one dose of muteness, and told me to show mercy to the child, would I still not be able to find my good nephew until now?

Stop pretending to be noble here.

I'm telling you the truth. The man from the Miao family has already promised me that as long as I help him get the family property, all the business in the provincial capital and here will be handed over to me in the future.

Think about it, I'm in charge of the provincial capital, and you're in charge of this area. In the future, will anyone in Lu Province dare to challenge us, the father-in-law and the son-in-law?"

Inside the door, Uncle Tao was waiting for his father-in-law to make a choice.

Outside the door, Tao Junle clenched his hands, waiting for a response from inside.

Tong Jia put both hands on Tao Junle's shoulders, ready at any time to push Tao Junle back into the RV if something went wrong.

However, after the old man in the room was silent for a while, he stood up and opened the mechanism in the study. After seeing what was hidden in the secret room, Tong Jia became even more uneasy than Tao Junle.

Because it is winter now, although the door is closed from the inside, the window is still opened a little for ventilation and to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Through the small gap, Tong Jia saw that it was not an ordinary secret room at all, but a drug-making workshop.

Thinking of the drug-trafficking movies he had watched in his previous life, Tong Jia felt the blood boiling in his body.

He pulled Tao Junle behind him, took out a silenced pistol from the RV and gave it to Tao Junle.

After Tao Junle understood Tong Jia's meaning, he stepped back decisively. Because of his height, if he wanted to hit the target with one strike, he couldn't get too close.

After Tao Junle found the best sniper position based on the shadow on the window, he nodded to Tong Jia. Tong Jia directly opened the window and before the two people in the room could react, each of them fired a shot, killing the two evil people in the room.

In order to confirm that both of them had no signs of life, Tong Jia carried Tao Junle to the windowsill.

Tao Junle jumped off the windowsill and confirmed that both of them were shot in the head before he opened the door and welcomed Tong Jia in.

Tong Jia looked at the things in the secret room, and her brows were furrowed.

These things are extremely toxic and addictive. They cannot be burned or buried. She is really troubled about how to deal with them.

Hearing the voices of Aunt Tao talking with the shop assistant outside, Tong Jia knew there was no time to think about it, so she put all the things in the secret room into the RV, closed the door, and was about to leave with Tao Junle.

But Tao Junle pointed at the bookshelf in the study and winked at her. Tong Jia didn't ask any questions and directly put away the bookshelf. Worried that something was left out, she also put all the things in the study that were not stained with blood, including Tao Junle, into the RV.

Then he quickly returned to his room and waited for Aunt Tao to knock on the door and bring him food.

Looking at the lunch box with only one dish, Tong Jia's face changed.

He found an excuse to quarrel with Aunt Tao, saying that Aunt Tao had neglected him, taking the money but not preparing the meal properly.

In a rage, he left the Tao family without even asking for the money.

Because she didn't ask for money, Aunt Tao and her mother didn't stop her from leaving.

In order to avoid trouble from meeting these people in the future and to delay the time for the Tao family to discover the two bodies, Tong Jia sprinkled a handful of forgetfulness powder on everyone in the Tao family at the last moment before leaving the pharmacy.

After that, she ran towards the train station as fast as she could.
