Chapter 93 I’ll feed him some earth! (1/2)
“Sigh… Bro.”
The young man ran up to pad on Fang Qiu’s shoulder and said through clenched teeth, “You got it. Ten grand a plant. Fifty grand in total.”
Fang Qiu smiled.
After reading so many medical books,
He knew too well about the efficacy of these medicinal herbs.
He didn’t know the exact market price of these plants but he was aware of the big chance of encountering an unscrupulous merchant.
He had heard from people in the mountains when he was little.
The buyers of mountain products would often force prices down upon their purchase, making an offer one-tenth or even one-fifteenth of the actual value.
When he heard the one thousand per plant offer, he set the price at ten grand a plant.
As expected,
“Bank transfer or cash?”
Asked Fang Qiu.
“Cash.”
The young man laughed loud in a very generous manner and then led Fang Qiu back to the van. He grabbed a black bag from the vehicle and took out five stacks of one hundred bills, putting in Fang Qiu’s hand directly.
Receiving the money.
Fang Qiu began to check carefully, afraid of being cheated.
“Cash business. Cheat neither old nor young.”
The young man chuckled before continuing, “Look carefully. I take no responsibility once the deal is closed.”
After a thorough check,
Fang Qiu was certain the money was real and the number was correct. Then he handed over the plants.
“Great!”
After inspecting the herbs, the young man said with a grin, “Come to me when you get the good stuff. I’m here all year round purchasing mountain products. My price is guaranteed fair.”
Fang Qiu nodded as he put the money into his bag before taking his leave.
He circled around the village.
Fang Qiu couldn’t find a single bus stop sign.
At last, Fang Qiu had to seek information from local villagers.
After inquiring about, he found out the village had no bus service. There was only one dirt road about three kilometers away from the village. To reach any city, one must walk out to the road and then look for a ride.
“Three kilometers. That’s not far.”
With this information, Fang Qiu headed out of the village at once.
Considering his pace, three kilometers is nothing.
However,
It also depended on the traffic on the path. It would be terrifying traveling at that speed in broad daylight.
Outside the village,
Fang Qiu found other people on the path.
He had to run.
About one kilometer into the journey, Fang Qiu secretly moved his internal Qi and got ready to speed up after making sure there was no one around.
But at this very moment.
“Rumble…”
The hum of an engine came abruptly.
He turned to look.
And saw a van hurtling fast towards him.
“Looks like I can save some energy.”
Fang Qiu grinned.
After selling the plants, he had quite some money with him. It shouldn’t be hard to have a ride with a fair payment.
Fang Qiu reached out his arm, giving a signal to the vehicle to stop.
A moment later,
The van swept past Fang Qiu and stopped.
Fang Qiu was about to walk up to ask for a ride when the back door slid open.
A middle-aged man, bald and sturdy, and two sloppy looking young men with long hair jumped off.
“Brother, looking for a ride to the city?”
Asked the bald man with a sneer.
”Yeah.”
Nodded Fang Qiu without any facial expressions.
He sensed the unfriendly atmosphere as soon as they got out of the car.
”Sure!”
The bald guy nodded instantly and said, “Hand over all your money and we will make sure you reach the city in no time. What do you say?”
“How much?”
Asked Fang Qiu with a grin.
“All of it!”
The bald man laughed out loud and answered, “Just now I saw you doing some business in the village. The money is quite heavy, isn’t it?”
“You are robbing me?”
Fang Qiu asked again with the same grin.
“Don’t make it sound so horrible. It’s just a small fee for using the road.”
Laughed the bald guy grimly.
“What if I don’t get in your car?”
“Then you are courting trouble. I’ll have to take the money to solve the trouble. Would you like to pay to avoid trouble or suffer?”
Asked the bald man coldly.
“To be honest, I can read the face. There’s some blackness in your forehead, which is a sign for a looming threat of fatal disaster. What about you give me some money and let me help you solve the problem?”
Fang Qiu answered with a grin.
”Hmm!”
The bald man snorted coldly and exchanged a glance with the two youths next to him. He threatened, “You are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. You want some punches?”
As he spoke,
The three of them clenched their fists and threw punches at Fang Qiu.
However.
Before their punches reached Fang Qiu,
”Pop.”
A sound of punching came.
One of the youths was hit hard in the stomach by Fang Qiu and fell to the ground before making a response.
One down.
Fang Qiu reached out both of his arms.
To confront the bald man and the other young man’s fists. He grabbed their fists in his hands.
“My face reading skill cheats neither old nor young. Why don’t you believe me?”
Fang Qiu muttered, shaking his head, and put forth his strength to drag the two men down to the ground.
After.
He sat down on the bald man.
The two young men hastily got up and threw themselves at Fang Qiu again.
“Hmm…”
Fang Qiu gave a quiet snort of contempt. He leaned backward and dodged their punches. His hands grabbed their ankles and gave a powerful pull.
The pair fell down immediately.
“Young man, you are courting death!”
The bald man shouted with anger, pulling himself together and attempting to stand up.
“Bam!”
Fang Qiu slapped his bald head all of a sudden. “Now you believe that here is a looming threat of fatal disaster. Tell me! Who sent you?”
The bald man was furious. He tried again to get up.
In the meantime.
The two young men got up from the ground and charged at Fang Qiu.
“You just won’t give up until seeing your own blood.”
Fang Qiu sneered.
He suddenly rose.
Then in a flash, he threw a punch at the young man to his left with one percent of his strength. After, he dashed instantly to the young man to the right and knocked him out with one whip kick.
These two lying on the ground were unable to get up.
“Screw you!”
The bald man cursed as he got up. He hammered a heavy punch at Fang Qiu’s head.
Unfortunately,
