As Luo Cheng looked at these people, he pretended to be very cautious. “Do you think I’ll believe you just because you say that you’re from Shatai Village? Why don’t we go to the village first?! There are many people hunting in the mountains. If you bring us to the medicinal field planted by others and let us be caught as thieves, won’t we be screwed?!”

When the scar-faced man heard Luo Cheng’s words, although he was very anxious, he was also relieved.

It seemed that this group of people had learned that there were medicinal herbs in Shatai Village, so they came here themselves. They probably weren’t in cahoots with the people they were going to capture today.

“You came from afar, so it’s normal for you to have such concerns! I wonder if you saw anyone else when you went up the mountain? To be honest, we made an appointment with another customer today. They will also come up the mountain to buy herbs today!” At this point, the scar-faced man added, “I wonder what herbs you need. If you both buy the same herbs, I’m afraid the herbs we picked won’t be enough!”

If Luo Cheng and the others were really here to buy herbs, they would definitely be anxious when they heard this news.

Therefore, a trace of anxiety flashed across Luo Cheng’s face.

“Huh? Is there anyone else who wants to buy your herbs today? That won’t do. We want a lot of herbs. We can have a long-term cooperation with you in the future! The other party hasn’t come yet, so why don’t you sell the herbs to us?!

Don’t worry, the price is negotiable!”

The scar-faced man smiled when he saw how anxious the other party was.

It was good that he was anxious. As long as he was anxious, he could lure this group of people into his trap.

Thinking of this, the scar-faced man was completely relieved and said coaxingly,

“Is that so? Is the price really negotiable? I like to do business with straightforward people like you. How about this? If you trust me, I’ll bring you to pack the herbs now. We’ll pay and deliver the goods at the same time. What do you think?”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and hesitation flashed across his face, but in the end, he seemed to have made up his mind.

“Alright, I’ll go with you. We’ll pay for the goods!”

Li Xiaoran laughed when she saw Luo Cheng acting.

This was the first time she realized that her man was quite talented in acting!

“Why don’t you two Madams come with us too?! There are many beautiful scenery on our mountain and many delicious fruits. You can try whatever you want later!” The scarfaced man’s voice changed and his gaze landed on Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue.

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she looked at Shu Ruyue.

“Sister, why don’t we go take a look?! We’ve already walked so far, and I’m thirsty. Let’s go pick some fruits to eat so that we can quench our thirst. Look, I don’t have any water left in my water bottle!”

Shu Ruyue understood and nodded.

“You’re right. My mouth is dry too. We should go and try the fruits!”

Just like that, Luo Cheng and the others followed the scarfaced man up the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, the group finally arrived at a valley.

The scarfaced man introduced enthusiastically, “Look, this is our medicinal field. Other than going up the mountain to pick herbs, we also plant some ourselves. In the past, we planted crops in the mountains, but the harvest was very poor. After these herbs were planted, they actually grew very well. Because the herbs we planted are very effective, many people from the pharmacy are willing to come to us to buy herbs!”

As Luo Cheng listened, he squatted down and carefully checked the quality of these herbs.

“Not bad. This Solomon’s seal looks very good. It’s much better than the Solomon’s seal we bought in the past!”

Luo Cheng was someone who knew medicine. People who had dealt with herbs for a long time could naturally discern the quality of herbs.

It had to be said that the quality of the herbs planted in Shatai Village was really much better.

Logically speaking, if the people of Shatai Village relied on these herbs to survive, their lives should be getting better and better.

“Brother Liu, when did Shatai Village start planting herbs?”

The scarfaced man said confidently, “It’s been a few years already! Brother Luo, since you’re buying herbs, you should know that many herbs can’t be harvested in a year or two, so we have to plant herbs for several years! Therefore, we only started to have some income this year. However, we believe that before long, the people in our village will definitely be able to live a better life!”

Luo Cheng nodded with a smile and said, “That’s for sure. As long as you guys plant herbs well, you guys will definitely become richer and richer in the future!”

“Then I’ll thank you for your blessings!” said the scarfaced man.

When Li Xiaoran heard their conversation, she looked at the scarfaced man in front of her and secretly became vigilant.

If not for the fact that she could clearly feel the malice in the scarfaced man’s heart, she would have been deceived by his appearance.

At this moment, the scarfaced man gave off a very hearty feeling and it felt very pleasing to chat with him.

This sort of person was the most terrifying.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran didn’t dare to let her guard down. After she looked at Shu Ruyue, she pulled her sleeve.

Shu Ruyue looked over. After receiving Li Xiaoran’s gaze, she leaned closer and the two of them walked side by side.

Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and reminded, “Be careful. This person isn’t as simple as he seems!”

When Shu Ruyue heard that, she nodded and became vigilant.

However, to everyone’s surprise, just as they were about to reach a cave, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue stepped on a place at the same time.

With two screams, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue lost their balance and fell.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Luo Cheng wanted to capture them, but it was too late.

After the scarfaced man saw that he had captured the two women, he no longer pretended to be nice. He sprinkled a handful of powder on Luo Cheng and the others.

Unfortunately, Luo Cheng and the others had taken the antidote pill long ago and wouldn’t be affected at all.

The smug smile on the scarfaced man’s face froze and he immediately shouted,

“Buddies, kill them!”

Seeing this, the people behind the scarfaced man immediately took out scimitars and hoes from the herb field.

The honest-looking people from Shatai Village seemed to have changed all at once. Their expressions were ferocious as they attacked Luo Cheng and the others.

If they really met someone weak, they probably would have died here today.

Unfortunately, the person the people from Shatai Village met this time was Luo Cheng.

Worried about the safety of Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue, Luo Cheng was furious and didn’t show any mercy when he attacked!
