Li Huaide smiled and said: "Otherwise, do you think Taoists' bounties are really easy to get? Believe it or not, if you take this fox to the Taoist temple, some Taoists will say it is an ordinary fox and beat you up."
The herb collector said in surprise, "No way?"
A passer-by next to him said: "Why not, I beat you up, and then he went to collect the reward, and you have nothing to say about it."
The herb collectors were frightened.
Li Huaide gave the passerby a thumbs up in approval. This was too timely, and the effect was even better than what he said.
He went on to say: "I'm willing to buy from you here because this product is in the hands of Taoists. I'm afraid I may not be able to get it. You can decide for yourself whether to take two hundred taels and leave happily, or go to a Taoist temple." Take a chance?"
The herbal collector hesitated, standing there hesitating.
A passer-by said: "Brother, two hundred taels is not bad, just take it when you see it!"
If you want to say why these two people are so helpful, it's because they can't get used to seeing a countryman get rich all of a sudden, and they wish he could earn less. This is the dark side of the human heart.
Hearing this, the herb picker couldn't help being shaken, looked at Li Huaide with a smile and said, "My lord, two hundred taels is a little less, you can raise your hand and add more!"
Li Huaide sighed, and said: "Two hundred and twenty taels, you fox didn't fix it well, you have so many holes in your body, you can't add more."
Hong Xiu didn't hear right, it seemed that he really wanted to buy himself a scarf. She stared at Li Huaide suspiciously, is this really my cousin? Don't be fake? I got the wrong person
She raised her nose and smelled Li Huaide's body odor. Although the smell is very weak, it should be right
The herbal picker looked at the fox, and found that the whole body was indeed punctured and bleeding, so he became cruel and said, "Young master, I'm selling it! You pay the money and deliver the goods."
Li Huaide nodded calmly, took the bank note from his sleeve and gave it to him.
The herbal picker took it in his hand and looked at it suspiciously.
A passer-by said disdainfully: "You bumpkin, bumpkin, I've never seen a silver ticket!"
The herbal picker put down the basket with a smile and left.
Li Huaide cupped his hands to the passers-by who were watching, and said with a smile: "Thank you two helpers, here, here are a few taels of silver, everyone, take it for a cup of tea!"
Those two passers-by didn't expect to have such an extra harvest, happily took a piece of silver each, and said, "Young master is really particular about people!"
Li Huaide nodded with a smile, took the basket and went back to the hotel first.
Turning to a deserted alley, Li Huaide removed the chains and wires from the fox, and cleaned up the dirt on it. He used hydrotherapy on the fox, first healed her wounds, and then used restraining breath to shield her evil spirit, so as not to be noticed by the Taoist.
Hongxiu said happily: "Cousin, let me out!"
Li Huaide frowned and said, "Why panic, I'll talk about it later."
"Oh! Cousin, why are you here? By the way, I just saw a reward for your arrest on the street!" Hongxiu said.
Li Huaide hummed and said, "Okay, now I'll take you away, don't talk nonsense on the way!"
He bought another piece of cloth and put it over the basket to prevent others from seeing it.
Li Huaide returned to the hotel with the basket, closed the door, then opened the basket, carefully broke the iron chain, and removed the chain from Hongxiu's body.
Hongxiu broke free from the shackles and rolled on the spot, turning into a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl. She stood up happily, saluted Li Huaide, and said, "Thank you, cousin, for saving me!"
Li Huaide asked curiously: "How did you get caught by a mortal?"
Hongxiu said angrily.
It turned out that one day half a year ago, she was playing alone in the mountains thirty miles outside the city, when she suddenly saw a herb picker fall off a cliff.
In a moment of kindness, she couldn't bear the young man's fall to his death, so she used magic to save him.
At first, the herb picker was very grateful to her, and he would look for her in the mountains when he had nothing to do, and would send some roast chickens from time to time, and talk to her. Hongxiu likes to socialize with people. After a long time, he treats him as a friend and even guides him to pick some precious ginseng.
At first, the herb pickers thought she was a Taoist who lived in seclusion in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, yesterday, the herbal picker brought roast chicken and a jug of wine.
Hongxiu couldn't hold back, drank and became drunk.
When she woke up, she realized that she had been caught. With the kindness of a friend and the feeling of helping in the past, she pleaded with the herb collector, hoping that he would let her go, but the herb collector refused and insisted on sending her to the temple in the city to receive the reward.
Hongxiu said angrily: "I didn't expect him to be such a person, cousin, are all human races this bad?"
Li Huaide said with embarrassment and guilt: "There are good and bad human races, but unfortunately you met an ungrateful villain."
Hongxiu nodded dejectedly.
Li Huaide privately felt that the herbal picker did the right thing, but also faintly felt that the herb picker was too ungrateful.
Li Huaide asked Hongxiu to wait for him in the store, and he went to Lao Zhang to get a new ID card and road guide with his alias Li Jinde.
Then, he simply issued another bank note and asked Lao Zhang to help Hongxiu find a new identity.
At night, when Li Huaide returned to the store, Hongxiu asked, "Cousin, where are you going?"
Li Huaide said vaguely: "Go out and do something."
He grabbed the red sleeve, turned her back into a fox, stuffed it into the sleeve, and went out.
When there is no one outside, let her change back to human form, and then take her back to the shop. Before that, he had booked another room for her in the store, saying that she was his younger sister.
Hongxiu ran to his room and asked, "Cousin, what do you want to do with this?"
Li Huaide pondered: "I have something to go to Yichun, you pretend to be my sister for the time being, and go with me."
Hongxiu was happy, she wanted to go to a big city for a long time, but she didn't dare to go alone. Now her cousin is willing to take her there, which is what she wished for.
Li Huaide also had no choice, he privately felt that the red fox was too stupid, let her go alone, and it would not take long for her to be caught again. She is so stupid, if she is caught, maybe she will be dragged out. It's better to watch it under your eyelids.
The next day, Li Huaide took a car, took Hongxiu and three servants, and went all the way to Yichun as a tea merchant.
There were many caravans going to Yichun during the year, with official guides, and Li Huaide and his party were inconspicuous among them.
The Taoist who arrested Hu Maode kept his eyes on the lone traveler, and searched the field where Li Huaide escaped. Unexpectedly, Hu Maode went north instead of fleeing south, and Li Huaide easily got out.
One day later, when he arrived in Yichun, Li Huaide stayed in an inn and immediately looked for a place to stay.
It took two days for Li Huaide to find a store, hired more than a dozen guys, and prepared to open a teahouse.
There is also a reason why Li Huaide chose to open a teahouse. First of all, he is not familiar with other industries, but he drinks a lot of tea and goes to a lot of teahouses, so he knows a little bit. Secondly, the people who come to the teahouse are of all kinds, and it is easy to learn a lot of news. And with Yu Qingyao's temperament of doing good deeds wherever she goes, as long as she comes to Yichun, he will know in a short time.
