The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 537 Wang Siruo and the evil cultivator arrive at Linshan County

The proprietress looked at the gold on the counter with her eyes shining. She only took a glance at the portrait and recognized Lin Xi.

"This girl often comes to my shop to buy jewelry, but I really don't know where she lives. I only know that she is from the village below."

After hearing her words, Wang Siruo frowned and was about to take back the gold and the painting.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress grabbed her hand and said with a gleam in her eyes: "Although I don't know where she lives, I guess there is someone who knows. If I tell the girl about this person, then what about the gold?"

"If the information you provided is correct, then the gold is yours. But I warn the boss lady, if you dare to play tricks on me, hmph, you better check your head first to see if it's strong enough!"

Wang Siruo let go of the gold ingot, crossed his arms over his chest, and warned the proprietress.

The lady boss reached out and quickly took the gold into her arms, and said with a wry smile, "I promise I won't lie to you, young lady. My cousin is the gatekeeper of Linshan County. He once saw the girl in the painting bringing people from their village to deliver medicinal herbs to Huichun Hall. Doctor Zhou, the owner of Huichun Hall, must know which village this girl is from!"

"Take us to Huichun Hall!"

Wang Siruo rolled up Lin Xi's portrait, grabbed the proprietress' wrist and pulled her out.

Feeling the pain in her wrist, the proprietress frowned and whispered, "Girl, how come you are so strong? Let go quickly, I'll lead the way!"

After saying that, he struggled hard. Wang Siruo saw that the waiters were surrounding him and didn't want to cause any more trouble and waste time, so he let go of the proprietress's hand.

"You keep an eye on the shop. I'll take this girl to Huichuntang. I'll be right back!"

The proprietress asked the waiters to disperse and serve customers, and she hurriedly took Wang Siruo and Xie Xiu to Huichuntang.

"See? That's Huichun Hall. You can go in and find Manager Zhou. I won't go in. I'm going back first!"

The proprietress stopped two meters away from Huichuntang, pointed to the sign of Huichuntang to Wang Siruo and the others, then turned around and slipped away.

Wang Siruo and Xie Xiu let her go, and they strode into Huichun Hall.

"Excuse me, are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Huichun Hall was not busy at this time. After sending away a customer who came to get medicine, Quanfu walked up to Wang Siruo and asked. He also glanced at the evil cultivator behind Wang Siruo and thought that this person was really strange. He was wearing such a big cloak, with his head lowered, and his face was covered.

"Is Manager Zhou here? We need him for something!"

Wang Siruo said this while searching around the pharmacy.

"Excuse me, what do you two want to see me for?"

Shopkeeper Zhou lifted the curtain, walked over from behind, looked at Wang Siruo and asked.

Seeing that both of them had their faces covered, I couldn't help but feel defensive.

"Please tell me where the family in the painting is, Manager Zhou! This ingot of gold is a thank you gift to you!"

Wang Siruo placed Lin Xi's portrait in front of Shopkeeper Zhou, then took out a gold ingot and put it on the table beside him, squinting at him.

"Why would you ask me where the girl in this painting lives?"

When Shopkeeper Zhou saw that the person in the painting was actually Lin Xi, his eyes flashed and he asked instead of answering.

"Someone told us that this man brought people from the village to do business with you. You know where this man lives. Shopkeeper Zhou had better tell the truth. Otherwise, not only will you not get any benefits, but you may even lose your life!"

"They only came to my Huichuntang twice to sell herbs. Every year, there are so many people who come here to sell medicine. How can I know where they live? I only know that their village is next to the mountain. I didn't ask which village it was. After all, it's not a long-term business!"

Shopkeeper Zhou stroked his beard and answered calmly.

Quanfu, who was standing by, was afraid that he would be exposed. After he saw that the person in the painting was Lin Xi, he turned his back to Wang Siruo and the others and pretended to organize the medicine.

After hearing his words, Wang Siruo's face darkened and murderous intent surged in her eyes. Just as she was about to attack Manager Zhou, the evil cultivator who had been standing next to her without saying a word suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Since Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't know the whereabouts of this girl, let's go ask others!"

After saying that, he pulled Wang Siruo away from Huichun Hall.

"Master, Manager Zhou knows something at a glance. Why don't we arrest him and torture him?"

Wang Siruo was puzzled when she saw the evil cultivator dragging her around the alleys near Huichun Hall. Why were they wandering around here instead of asking about Lin Xi's whereabouts?

"That man's eyes are clear and resolute. It would be a waste of time to interrogate him. We may not be able to get anything out of him. Judging from the reaction of the young man in his shop, they must be familiar with Lin Xi. Why not try your luck and see if he will go to Lin Xi Village to report that there are two people with bad intentions trying to find out about Lin Xi and ask them to be careful! If he doesn't go to report, then catch the young man and interrogate him thoroughly! It will be much easier than interrogating Shopkeeper Zhou!"

The evil cultivator took Wang Siruo and hid in a big tree near Huichun Hall. Standing on the tree, they could clearly see Manager Zhou if he left Huichun Hall.

After hearing the evil cultivator's words, Wang Siruo nodded, stopped talking, and stared at Huichun Hall.

After seeing the two men disappear, Shopkeeper Zhou whispered to Quanfu, "Quanfu, keep an eye on the pharmacy. I'm going to Linshan Village quietly. Those two don't look like good people. I have to have the people in Linshan Village take precautions."

Then he walked quickly to the backyard, opened the gate and waited until no one was paying attention to this side. Then he quickly left the backyard of Huichun Hall, went out of the city gate, used his lightness skills to the limit, and flew towards Linshan Village. On the way, he was always paying attention to whether there was anyone following him.

He was already very careful and moved very fast. Under normal circumstances, even if someone was following him, he would have left them behind long ago. However, the evil cultivator was not an ordinary person and caught up with him easily without him noticing.

"Master, you are really smart. He really knows where Lin Xi lives. Just as you expected, he will go and inform the people in her village. It seems that Shopkeeper Zhou has a close relationship with that bitch!"

Wang Siruo was carried by the evil cultivator and followed behind Shopkeeper Zhou from a distance. He smiled evilly as he watched Shopkeeper Zhou's figure leaping quickly in the jungle.

I was secretly proud in my heart: Bitch! Your family killed my mother. Today I will suck all the people in your village into bones. When you come back one day, you will see that there is no living person in the village, and all the people you used to know are gone. I wonder how you will react!
