She only knew the general direction of the county and had never been there. She also didn't know whether she would encounter suddenly enthusiastic villagers on the way to the county and ask her all sorts of questions!

She turned around and stared into the boy's eyes to confirm that he had no ill will towards her. Then she nodded and indicated that she was willing to go with him.

The young man felt relieved and limped towards the wild boar. He tied the wild boar's legs with a rope and dragged the pig out.

Zhong Ning was a little astonished. This child looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had so much strength. This wild boar must weigh at least two hundred pounds!

And the young man was obviously seriously injured.

It looks quite pitiful.

Pah pah pah…..

There is a saint, I despise you!

He is pitiful, but can he be more pitiful than himself?

If you don’t run away, you will be sold again!

Zhong Ning followed behind with a complaint in his mind. Seeing streaks of blood on the wild boar's body, he quickly scooped up a handful of dirt to cover them up.

The boy was dragging the cart in front, while Zhong Ning was spreading dirt behind.

Although this place is on the edge of the mountains, the smell of blood is still very pungent. It would be bad if it attracted other wild animals.

The two walked in the mountains for almost half an hour, and then followed a secluded path, relying on the jungle for cover, and went down the mountain.

This exit down the mountain is at least several hundred meters away from the village, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the villagers.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the young man pushed out the broken cart he had placed in the grass and branches.

Apparently, he does this kind of thing often!

It was only at this moment that Zhong Ning began to look at the boy seriously.

He looks different from other people in the village.

His overly delicate eyebrows and eyes were hidden under his dark skin. Although they covered most of his features, his handsome face could still be seen.

If his skin were whiter, it would surely attract the admiration of many young ladies.

He is about sixteen years old. Although he looks thin, he is very strong. He is about 1.78 meters tall, much taller than Zhong Ning's 1.55 meters.

Speaking of this, Zhong Ning was speechless.

She is fourteen years old this year. Because she often does not have enough food to eat in the Xu family, she looks like a ten-year-old child.

She has been secretly giving herself extra food these days. She is determined to make a leap forward before she turns eighteen.

At least he has to grow to 1.65 meters!

The two of them walked in silence for a long time, and they finally arrived at the gate of the county town after walking for an hour.

The boy pushed the cart to sell the wild boar, while Zhong Ning went to the pharmacy to sell the ginseng.

The two are destined not to go together.

So as soon as he arrived in the county town, Zhong Ning couldn't wait to separate from him.

The young man pursed his lips tightly, looking at Zhong Ning with a pair of clear eyes, and then he said softly: "Shall we meet here in an hour?"

"No, you can leave first when you are done. You don't have to wait for me!"

She had no plans to go back, and there was no need to make an appointment with anyone.

Then leave immediately!

The young man was left standing there in a daze, like an abandoned little animal!

After a long time, he pushed the cart towards the restaurant!

.......

The county town is called Fenghe County.

It is named after the big river that runs through the county from north to south!

Although the county town is not big, it is not small either and basically has everything.

The road is smooth and there are many shops, including restaurants, teahouses, gambling houses, stores, pharmacies, and even brothels.

Zhong Ning walked in it, dressed in tattered clothes, looking out of place in this city.

Arriving at a remote alley, Zhong Ning entered the space and took a good bath, cleaned himself up, and changed into a set of relatively clean clothes. Only then did he feel like a human being.

She groped her way to a clothing store.

She bought two sets of men's clothes and two sets of women's clothes. Although she wanted the cheapest coarse cloth clothes, the four sets still cost her one and a half taels!

Zhong Ning changed into one of the men's suits, thickened his eyebrows, added shadows to his face, and after all, he looked like a young man from a poor family.

I’m not tall enough, so I put on a height-increasing pad. I stuffed a layer of height-increasing pads into my shoes, and at least I don’t look as short as before.

He then casually took out a handful of pine nuts from the basket and gave them to a group of half-grown children on the street, lying that someone in his family was sick and needed to buy medicine.

So ask about the pharmacies in the county town.

Which one is the largest?

Which one has the best reputation?

Which pharmacy has the most complete range of medicinal herbs?

Which pharmacy has the most authentic medicinal materials?

.......

After throwing out a handful of pine nuts, Zhong Ning basically found out all the information he needed to know.

Then she walked towards the pharmacy that was said to have the best business and the best reputation.

The name of this pharmacy is Jirentang!

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a kind face, wearing a long blue-gray gown. He was standing next to the medicine cabinet and counting the medicinal materials.

When Zhong Ning walked over, the pharmacy clerk came over to greet him.

"Sir, please come in!"

Zhong Ning walked in and then asked, "Excuse me, where is the shopkeeper? I have something important to discuss with you!"

The sound was not loud, but not small either, and was heard by the shopkeeper who was checking the accounts at the counter.

He just tilted his body slightly, turned around and looked at me, then frowned slightly.

Although the clothes on the man in front of me are new, the fabric does not look like it comes from a wealthy family. What's the point of looking for me for such a person?

Then, he seemed to think of something.

He immediately strode forward and pushed the boy away.

Please invite Zhong Ning to come into the tea room upstairs and wait for a seat.

"Sir, there were many people in the store just now. I guessed that you must have important matters here, so I took the initiative to invite you into the inner room for a chat!" The shopkeeper smiled gently, filled the tea in front of him, and handed it to Zhong Ning.

"Thank you!" Zhong Ning took the tea with a grateful look on his face.

After all, she is here to discuss business, so a quiet environment is certainly better!

"I was lucky enough to get a few medicinal herbs in the mountains today, so I came here to try my luck. People say that the owner of Jirentang is the most trustworthy, so I chose to come to your hall first. Please give it your opinion!"

"Oh?" The shopkeeper was immediately delighted when he heard this.

Generally speaking, anyone who dares to say such things in a pharmacy must have made a big profit!

His guess turned out to be correct!

"Thank you very much for your patronage, sir. It is all thanks to you all that I am unworthy of your kindness. I wonder what the medicinal herbs you mentioned look like?" The shopkeeper had a look of anticipation on his face, and his eyes were even gentler.

Zhong Ning secretly took the ginseng out of the space by taking something out of the basket, then placed it on the table and slowly opened the cloth bag.

Inside the grey cloth bag, there was a complete ginseng!

When the shopkeeper saw this, his eyes suddenly became hot!

It’s actually ginseng!

And it’s ginseng of such good quality!

Judging from the shape of this ginseng, it must be a hundred years old!

I have received ginseng over the years.

But most of them are small ginsengs that are only a few decades old. As of today, there are very few ginsengs that are a hundred years old and in complete condition!
