Chapter 174 The Prison of Objects
After their conversation, she realized that they were an honest, principled, and affectionate family, and she wanted to help them.
But she also wanted the old man to help her, since he was skilled and she wanted him to give her some guidance.
"Old folks, you can take the medicinal herbs you found to Fei's Pharmacy to sell."
The old man was bewildered by these words. "What do you mean, young lady? The Fei family is full of medicinal herbs. Why would they accept our herbs? Aren't we just humiliating ourselves?"
"The Fei family cultivates many medicinal herbs. As you know, wild herbs that have been growing for many years have much better medicinal effects. Why wouldn't they want them? Although they cultivate them, people still have to look for them."
Chu Luo was very certain.
She had heard Fei Zhiyou mention it when she was at the Fei family home.
Her Zhongfangtang also buys medicinal herbs, but since this is Fei Zhiyou's territory, which is relatively affluent, it is not very meaningful for Zhongfangtang to open a shop here, and it is also easy for Fei Zhiyou's people to notice it.
In this area, there is only a small shop that collects information.
It's not really appropriate to let them sell the medicinal herbs to Zhongfangtang, which is further away.
"But we don't have any connections, how can we let them take our medicinal herbs?" The old man was skeptical.
"Have your son take the herbs to their pharmacy and ask. They'll take them. If you're worried, I still have some connections with the Fei family. I'll write you a letter; take it there, and there shouldn't be any problem. Also..."
Also, send a message to Fei Zhiyou. Considering their past friendship and the old man's kindness in delivering the message, he will help resolve the old man's family's lawsuit and troubles.
The letter asked Fei Zhiyou to restrain her.
This also means that by the time he knew where she was, she was already gone.
Chu Luo paused and didn't continue. The journey to the heart of Wulao Mountain was extremely dangerous. Even someone like Mu Panrong, who was used to such places, was almost on the verge of death when he came out of Wulao Mountain.
She only had a pipa and a dagger that Shu Tong gave her for self-defense.
Although Mu Panrong had told her about the situation inside the prison, she didn't know any martial arts.
This journey was fraught with danger, and she feared she wouldn't come out alive.
If she cannot emerge alive, she will also cause the secret realm of the artifact prison to disappear with her, and no one can enter without the information she left behind.
The things in this place are of great benefit to Fengzhe.
If Shu Tong can't find her quickly using the address she left, Fei Zhiyou, with his medical skills, should be able to do so if he gets the address.
When he comes to find her, he can find those things at this time.
Out of friendship, he should bring back some things to fulfill her last wish.
She inexplicably trusted Fei Zhiyou, her friend.
Even though he was Jin Wuchen's closest friend, she felt that Fei Zhiyou genuinely considered her a friend, and that this had nothing to do with Jin Wuchen.
Chu Luo didn't say it because she felt it was too early to say it now. She was hoping that it might not be that dangerous.
She went to the old man's home and ate something with him and the children.
The next day, the old man's son and daughter-in-law returned, weary from their journey, carrying grain with them.
The two men, filled with worry, hurriedly pushed open the door, calling out, "Father, Father, child!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old man come out of the house.
"Father, we're too late. We've run out of food. Although we rushed as fast as we could, we've long since passed the point where we can last any longer."
"It's alright, I have other ideas. We just happened to run into this kind-hearted girl who gave us some food."
The young couple quickly bowed to Chu Luo to express their gratitude.
"Did something happen to you?" the old man asked, noticing the wound on his son's hand.
"Ugh, it was that bastard again. He tried to stop Ah-Qing again, and it took us a bit of trouble to escape."
Chu Luo immediately understood what was going on.
He made a mental note of this matter, and when everyone returned to their rooms, he wrote a letter, summoned a carrier pigeon, and asked the people of Zhongfang Hall to collect information about that person, and then gave him a warning.
"Our medicinal herbs were also delayed, and even at low prices, we didn't sell many."
Chu Luo glanced at the remaining medicinal herbs they had, then took out some silver and handed it to them, saying, "These are all top-quality herbs; I'll buy them all."
"You gave my father and child food in their time of need, and if you need these medicinal herbs, I'll give them all to you."
Chu Luo shook her head. "These are all top-quality medicinal herbs. My food isn't worth much. I'll take a small portion of these herbs with me when I leave. If I don't come back to collect the rest in eight days, could you please deliver them to a certain place for me?"
"Where is it? If it's not far, I can deliver it all to you tomorrow," the old man's son said sincerely.
"No need, we'll wait three days," Chu Luo had already calculated the time.
"Please don't be shy, just let us know if you need any help," the old man's son said, looking at the silver Chu Luo had given him—enough to earn two months' worth of medicinal herbs.
The person in front of him is kind and discerning; even if he doesn't want money, he hopes to help her in some way.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I'd like to ask you to show me the way this afternoon and take me into the mountains to a place that the locals call Pingyue Valley."
Chu Luo told him the location that Mu Panrong had mentioned.
"What? You want to go to Pingyue Valley? You can't go there!"
The old man and his son were both surprised when they heard the place name.
"Don't worry, young man, you don't need to take me in. Just escort me to the outside of Pingyue Valley, and I'll go in by myself. I've heard that herb gatherers go to that area to gather herbs. You are among the best herb gatherers; you should have been to that area before, right?"
Chu Luo quickly explained that she would never let them fall into danger because of her.
"Young lady, we're not afraid of danger ourselves, we're worried about you. Even we lowly people dare not go near that place, let alone someone like you. What can we do to help you?"
An elderly person blocked the exit.
"We are all born of parents; no one's life is cheap or worthless."
Chu Luo felt a pang of sadness listening to their words. They were living their lives with great effort and hardship, more earnestly than many others, yet they considered themselves to have a worthless life.
But even such days will one day be taken away by Feng Zhe, costing them their one and only lives.
"Young lady, there aren't many people who treat us like human beings. If something happens to you, the world will lose another good person. There are already enough bad people in this world; I absolutely cannot just stand by and watch you go to your death."
The old man had tears in his eyes.
"I know it's dangerous, but I have a reason to go; some things are more important than my life."
Chu Luo tried to persuade the kind-hearted father and son.
If the two of them hadn't led the way, she might have been delayed even longer, and she might have even gotten lost.
She has always had some issues with her sense of direction, so getting to that place based solely on Mu Panrong's description might be a bit difficult for her.
"Young lady, we wouldn't harm our benefactor, so we won't lead you the way. Like we said, we'll help you find whatever you need."
The old man's son spoke up again, offering to help Chu Luo find her things.
"What I want is in the Prison of Things," Chu Luo said, pointing to that place.
The old man's expression tightened. "Young lady, that's just a legend. There's no such thing as a magic prison. You should go back."
