Chapter 48, Yu Qingyao, Chinese
The heart was gathering in his ears like flowing water, and Xiao Mo's hearing immediately became sensitive and clear. He also heard clearly the quarrel between the people downstairs and the girl.
"This 'Xuanhuo Cauldron' is obviously my grandfather's only relic. It is not a dirt stole from your Tianyao Chamber of Commerce. You bully people!"
The girl's aggrieved and scared voice sounded, which made Xiao Mo understand the whole story.
He looked at the four or five men with red knees and saw that they were all dressed in red, with a small round white circle on their chests. The center of the white circle was the shape of a green seedling, which looked like a certain sign.
When he contacted the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce mentioned by the girl in Qing's clothes, he understood that those people were probably from the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce.
It seems that this girl in green should be new to Lingwu City. For some reason, the red medicine furnace in her hand was discovered by the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce. People in Tianyao Chamber of Commerce may think that the girl in green is weak and can be bullied and has no background, so they want to bully others by taking advantage of their power and take away the Xuanhuo Cauldron.
"hey-hey……"
The shirtless man in the lead showed a ferocious look on his face. He took a step forward and said coldly: "Little girl, your grandfather went to the Tianyao Cheung Association for your illness, but he asked for medicine four times, but in the end he had no money to pay the bill, so he mortgaged the Xuanhuo Cauldron to the Tianyao Cheung Association. This is a ban, you can see clearly!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took out a black letter with several lines of small words from his arms and raised it in front of the girl in blue, "Since you have no money to pay the bill, this Xuanhuo Cauldron will naturally belong to our Tianyao Chamber of Commerce. If you refuse to return it, it does not mean stealing. If you dare to talk too much, I will collect it together. Although you are a little younger, it is okay to send it back to make a warm bed for our second master."
"Shipment?"
Xiao Mo's eyes moved, his heart gathered, and his eyes suddenly shone, and he could see the words on the white paper clearly.
As expected, as the shirtless man said, the note said that Old Man Yu asked for medicine four times, had no money to pay the bill, and had half a month of credit. Once the half month arrived, if he had no money to pay the bill, he would take the family's treasure Xuanhuo Cauldron as the basis."
Later, there are also appendixes of various drugs and prices purchased by Old Man Yu when he was looking for medicine.
If it is just like this, it means that this Xuanhuo Cauldron should really belong to the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce, but Xiao Mo only glanced at the prices behind the herbs and knew that this matter was not simple.
Old Man Yu only asked for some very ordinary herbs, but here, each one was marked at a sky-high price, which is why Old Man Yu was unable to pay the remaining medicine. Otherwise, the money he paid should have been more than enough.
It is precisely because the prices of those medicines are different that Old Man Yu finally owed the sky-high price and was forced to write this IOU. The Tianyao Chamber of Commerce's intention was self-evident, and it was because he wanted to get the Xuanhuo Cauldron in the girl's hand that he deliberately raised the price of the medicine.
Xiao Mo's eyes fell on the face of the girl in blue. Sure enough, there were many kinds of vegetables and some weakness on her face. Obviously, they were suffering from chronic diseases. This disease, ordinary herbs, had no effect at all.
The Xuanhuo Cauldron she held in her hand had a simple appearance, but it was vaguely radiant inside, revealing a pure flame breath. It was obviously not an ordinary thing, I am afraid it was a good medicine cauldron.
Such a medicine cauldron is simply a priceless treasure, but in the eyes of the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce, it is equated with a few ordinary herbs that are not valuable at all. This is not a trick to seize the opportunity.
Originally, Xiao Mo didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the development downstairs made him look bloodily and his eyes suddenly became cold.
Hearing the shirtless man's words, the girl in blue was even more scared. She just hugged the red medicine stove in her arms more nervously and said, "You... Half a month has not come. Time has come. I will pay you back the money. You... You can't take away my medicine cauldron. This is my Yu family's treasure. Grandpa said that even if you die, you can't let it go."
"Hmph, you have no money to repay anyway, so why have to wait until half a month later? And now your grandfather is dead again, and even the debtors are dead. What if you suddenly run away? What should I do if you hand over the Xuanhuo Cauldron first and wait until you can really raise the money, then come back!"
However, although the girl is weak and fearful, she is not stupid.
She naturally knew that if she handed over the Xuanhuo Cauldron at this time and fell into the hands of a giant like the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce, even if she raised enough money in half a month to exchange for the Xuanhuo Cauldron, she probably would either not admit it or directly exchange it with an ordinary medicine cauldron as the Xuanhuo Cauldron. At that time, the girl in green, who was a weak and helpless little girl, could she find a place to reason.
So, she refused to agree. However, after being entangled with her for so long, more and more people were watching. Many people were thinking a little about the red medicine cauldron in the girl's arms. The shirtless man knew that Chi Ze was changing. Among these people, there might be people who like to meddle in other people's business, so they were no longer impatient.
He waved his hand and snorted coldly: "You have to agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. You can't help but grab it. Grab it for me. If you dare to resist, you will kill me!"
Hearing his words, four shirtless men rushed up. They were all big and round, and had extraordinary strength. Otherwise, they would not have been trained to become thugs by a large chamber of commerce like the Tianyao Chamber of Commerce. The four of them were the same as the girl in blue, and they would have been able to deal with a girl in blue.
However, what I didn't expect was that the girl in blue would even have a little fist and kick. When she saw the four people siege, she had to resist. But after all, she was weak. Although her fist and kick seemed quite clever, it was a pity that she didn't have enough strength and it didn't hurt to hit someone.
But this scene angered the four people who besieged her. The four people instantly became ruthless, and each punched the girl on the left shoulder. The girl staggered and bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and the person fell backwards.
Another person went to take the treasure tripod in her arms, and she could only hold it tightly with one hand and retreat.
However, the other person stretched out his foot and instantly tripped on the road she had to pass. She fell heavily to the ground, and the Xuanhuo Cauldron in her hand almost fell down. The other two had already bullied each other from the left and right sides and stolen it in her arms.
The girl knew that she was no match, so she had to hold the medicine cauldron tightly with both hands, bent her body, and let someone kick her. In a moment, her face turned white like frost and snow, and the blood on her mouth dyed her clothes red. She was already angry, but her hands still refused to let go.
One of the shirtless men had a ruthless eyes, and a snow-white scimitar appeared in his hand. His sword flashed and he slashed directly at the girl's hands holding the tripod. He was so impatient that he wanted to cut off her hands directly.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Mo could not bear it. He slapped his palm and a corner of the window ridge was instantly slapped into pieces. Then, the pieces were like a flowing star arrow and shot towards the scimitar below.
Seeing that the girl was about to break her arms, the girl was so scared that she closed her eyes directly, and the shirtless man showed a cruel look in her eyes.
At this moment, a storm of wind hit, and a black piece of wood hit the scimitar. His hands were as thunder as thunder, and he couldn't help but separate. The scimitar swung to one side, avoiding the girl's arm, and only cutting off a strand of her hair.
"Who, who doesn't know how to live or die, meddle in other people's business and come out for grandpa!"
The shirtless man was furious, and the other four turned their heads at the same time, ready to find out the person who intervened.
