After entering Phoenix City, Sima Youyue's plan was slowly being implemented.
The next morning, she, Guo Yinda and Guo Xin went to a very spectacular pavilion in the center of the city. As soon as he entered, he realized that this was not a shop for business. Although there were a lot of things here, there was only one person guarding inside. There was not a single customer.
When the person inside saw Guo Yin Da, he said faintly, "I thought your Guo Family wouldn't come this year!"
"How could that be? The clan's offerings still have to be handed over on time. "Guo Yin Da smiled and took out the two medicinal ingredients, saying," These are our offerings this year. "
That person didn't think that Guo Yin Da would really take out something. He opened the box and saw that there were indeed two medicinal herbs that were over a thousand years old. He said with some surprise, "Didn't you say that you didn't get anything good this year? Where did these come from? "
"Some time ago, we went to Rabbit Ear Mountain and went deep into the mountains. He was lucky enough to get these two items. However, they had also lost quite a few people. Guo Yinda let out a long sigh.
He wasn't lying. A few people did die at that time, but they didn't die because they were looking for herbs. They were killed by the Tang family.
The steward didn't make things difficult for them. After registering their items, the offering was complete.
"Alright, you can leave now. Don't forget to attend the clan meeting in ten days. "The steward waved his hand at them, not wanting to waste any more time.
Guo Yin Da cupped his fists at him, turned around and left with Sima You Yue.
Just as they reached the door, a cold voice came from behind them. "Oh right, I heard that Tang Fei also brought some people to Rabbit Ear Mountain. Did you guys meet him?"
"Tang Fei went too? I've never met one before. "Guo Yinda said in surprise.
The steward glanced at him, lowered his head, and didn't say anything else. They also left the place.
When they arrived at the main street, it was already past noon. Guo Yin Da said to Guo Xin, "This is Youyue's first time here. Take her to walk around the city and see if there are any herbs that she needs. Then go back directly. I'm going to look for them to catch up and have a drink. "
"Alright."
After Guo Yin Da left, Sima Youyue smiled at Guo Xin and said, "Big brother Guo, I'll have to trouble you."
"What's so troublesome about that? Let's go. I'll take you to the pharmacy to have a look. "Guo Xin said.
"Yes!"
Sima Youyue followed Guo Xin and left. After turning two streets, they arrived at a medicine shop.
She mentioned a kind of medicinal herb called Silver Water Grass. She had specially asked Guo Yinda about it. It was a very rare medicinal herb that could only be found on the Lost Island. Especially when she said that she wanted a 200-year-old one, it was even rarer.
The shopkeeper directly told her that there was none here and told them to go somewhere else. They had no choice but to go to other pharmacies.
However, even if there were Silver Water Grass at the back, their maturity wasn't high enough. After walking around for an entire afternoon, Zhang Xuan didn't manage to find anything.
When they returned to the inn, Guo Xin said to Youyue, "Someone was watching us when we were shopping today."
"I just don't know if he's the one we're looking for." Sima Youyue felt like she was being watched the whole afternoon.
"What if he's not?"
"Of course we won't go!" Sima Youyue smiled, "Other than that person, no one else can think of leaving with them."
"Alright then. Have a good rest. We'll continue shopping tomorrow. There are still many pharmacies in Phoenix City. "Guo Xin said.
"Today we went to random pharmacies. Tomorrow we'll go to the one under the Tao family." Sima Youyue said.
This was the only way to catch the bait faster.
Guo Yin Da did not return that night. Guo Xin said that he would do this every time, so he did not bother about him. The next morning, they continued their journey to the pharmacy to ask about the medicinal herbs.
They went to the biggest pharmacy. Although it was still early, it was already packed with people.
Sima Youyue felt that someone was looking at her the moment she entered. However, she did not care. Instead, she went to the counter and asked a shop assistant, "Excuse me, do you have Silver Water Grass that is more than 200 years old?"
"Silver Water Grass that is more than 200 years old? I think we do. "The shop assistant said.
"Really?" Sima Youyue was excited, "Then I'll buy it."
"Dear customer, don't be anxious. This medicinal herb is a little rare. I'll have to look at the records." The shop assistant said.
"Alright."
"Please wait here for a moment." The shop assistant said and flipped through the records.
Sima Youyue and the rest waited for a while. The shop assistant came over and said, "Dear customer, you're in luck. We only have one left. Let me tell you, if we don't have it here, then it's impossible for other places to have it. Therefore, this might be the last 200 years Silver Water Grass. "
"Then I'm in luck." Sima Youyue smiled.
"Because it's 200 years old, the price is a little high."
"The price is not a problem. As long as you have the medicinal herb." Sima Youyue said generously.
"Dear customer, please wait for a moment. After all, the important medicinal herbs are placed at the back. I'll go get it for you."
"Alright. Sorry to trouble you. "
The shop assistant went to the back. Just as he entered, he was stopped by someone.
"Second Master wants you to go over." The person said.
The shop assistant was stunned. He immediately followed the person and went to a room on the second floor.
"Greetings, Second Master." The guard knelt down and bowed.
"The woman you served just now. What did she want?" Second Master asked.
"Second Master, she wanted a 200 years old Silver Water Grass." The shop assistant replied.
"Do you have it in the shop?"
"There's only one left."
"Mm, get someone to send it over." Second Master ordered.
"This …" The shop assistant was stunned. However, he quickly reacted. Thinking of Second Master's lecherous personality, he lowered his eyes and replied, "I know what to do."
Sima Youyue waited in the shop for a while before the shop assistant came out with a guilty expression.
"I'm really sorry. I just went to the back to take a look. The last Silver Water Grass was moved over by the family this morning."
"You mean, there's no more?"
"Yes. If you came yesterday, there would still be some left. However, there's none left now. I'm really sorry. "The shop assistant said apologetically.
Her excited little face immediately fell. Seeing the shop assistant nodding and bowing to her apologetically, she waved her hand at him and said, "It's not your fault. Since you don't have it here, I'll go somewhere else to take a look. "
"I just said that this Silver Water Grass is too rare. If we don't have it here, the other pharmacies won't have it either." The shop assistant said.
"I know. However, I still want to try my luck." After speaking, she turned around and left. Her little face was filled with disappointment.
When she reached the main street, she said to Guo Xin, "Brother Guo, I know you're worried about Uncle Guo. You should go and find him. I'll walk around by myself. "
"This …" Guo Xin was indeed worried about Guo Yin Da. Since she said so, he didn't decline and left by himself.
Sima You Yue was walking alone on the street. She could feel someone following behind her and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a smile.
