Chapter 294: Temptation Is Strong
Not sure which Era Sub-rchant from which Era City, but what could they possibly do by staying here?
“What do the grown-ups in your village need to stay for?”
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mu looked at the person and asked with a bit of confusion.
“So herbs we grew in our village have grown very big like they’re on hormones. With the support of the grown-up, when we ntion it to him, he urges us to take him back with us sotis.”
Natural treasures, huh?
That makes sense, even sharp-eyed businessn are interested in herbs like these.
The scruffy man calmly answered Zhang Mu’s question, sounding sincere.
“If it wasn’t so strange-looking that nobody dares to eat it, and occasionally it hurts villagers who get close to it, we would have eaten it when we had nothing else to eat.
Each family in Li village plants so herbs, and if they don’t turn into monsters, in situations where we have no food, they wouldn’t have survived until today.”
The villagers of Li village continued to add.
“What were those herbs originally? How many are there? And the adult you saw, do they have any special abilities?”
Although rare treasures are good, you also need to assess their value and the potential of that Era Sub-rchant.
If the quantity and quality are both high-grade, then Zhang Mu will have to extract so valuable information from that person.
However, if the Era Sub-rchant has great potential, and the quantity of herbs is not much, then there’s no need for Zhang Mu to go.
Zhang Mu wants to confirm the value of this batch of herbs and determine if it’s worth his ti.
The villager from Li village imdiately answered Zhang Mu, “Sir, we have a total of one hundred and twenty-seven households in Li village, and almost every household grows four or five wild herbs transplanted from the mountains.
Even though tis have changed, so have left and so have starved, but in Li village, we still have fifty people left, and the things in our own gardens haven’t changed.
All are top-quality herbs; so families even treat wild ginseng and polygonum multiflorum as treasures, and they are all well cultivated. However, I can’t say what happened after that ti.
Sir, are you also interested in those magical herbs? Will you trade food with us? It’s not difficult to sell them to you at a reasonable price.”
The villagers started asking Zhang Mu for prices. It seems that the Era Sub-rchant hasn’t realized the reality of the post-apocalyptic world yet. They are actually engaging in fair trade, offering a good price for the dicinal herbs and making the villagers realize their importance.
Fortunately, it has only been half a year since the apocalypse began, and Era Sub-rchant still has a pure heart. If it were to drag on or if a ruthless person took over, the villagers would not have the chance to beg here anymore.
The innocent is blaless, the one with jade is guilty.
Zhang Mu remained silent, thinking. The villager thought asking for food had offended Zhang Mu, so he quickly said, “Sir, we can send you so, but let our people go back to get it. You stay here for a while, and we will bring it to you.”
Zhang Mu still didn’t speak, which made the man even more panicked. Suddenly, he rembered Zhang Mu’s earlier question and hurriedly said, “That sir has great strength and speed, far surpassing us. He easily moved a large rock as tall as a person along the road.”
If the sir had any special abilities, it would be that the magical herbs wouldn’t harm him. He personally feeds and talks to the most precious herbs every day.
If it weren’t for this sir providing us with food, people would be frightened, feeling like he’s the one taking care of these herbs.
Seeing Zhang Mu’s serious look, the villagers from Li Village sold their remaining possessions.
Can you communicate with plants?
He must be a plant expert, as he did not harvest the herbs imdiately upon seeing them in Li village. Is he feeding them to ripen?
The temptation of having hundreds of thriving herbs is quite strong.
Zhang Mu threw out two bags of food and said slowly, “Take to your village, I will provide food too. As for how the herbs are distributed, I will naturally discuss with the village leader.”
Seeing the real food, the dirty villagers’ eyes were gleaming with excitent.
“Alright, follow .”
With a sudden sense of confidence, the man arranged the four bags of rice Zhang Mu had given him together. He picked out a slightly smaller bag and threw it to another young-looking villager nearby, saying, “Er Gouzi, you continue to wait here for the passing individuals. I will take this gentleman back to the village.”
He seed to have so authority, as he then selected four relatively strong-looking people from the crowd. After making so promises, these people eagerly took a bag of rice each and headed off in one direction, seemingly to help transport them back.
And he himself approached Zhang Mu, flattering him, “Sir, co with , I will guide you.”
Zhang Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave and followed behind.
Obsidian Beetle suddenly felt small and crawled into Yuan Rui’s sleeve because he thought the person slled too strong.
As Zhang Mu and the others walked closer, they saw a village nestled next to a big mountain from afar.
When they reached the village entrance, a stone tablet engraved with the words “Li village” appeared prominently in their sight.
For so reason, the stone tablet seed to show traces of movent.
