Chapter 2464: Hand Over the Money
However, Ning Shu had been circling around because she found that there were people following her.
The price of ginseng wasn’t cheap. With such a large sum of money on her, it was inevitable that it would attract others. Of course, she couldn’t rule out the pharmacy wanting to fully loot her.
Ning Shu carried Zhenzhen all around the market and bought a lot of things including flour, rice, and also some vegetable seeds and fruit saplings.
The people behind her tailed her the whole time. Ning Shu was very calm and unperturbed as she continued to buy what the villagers had requested
She dragged a big bag of things out of the town. As soon as she left, she was blocked by four strong men.
Ning Shu placed her things on the ground. She looked at the four people and made a fist as she warmed up her wrist.
“Hand over the money,” a man shouted viciously at Ning Shu and held out his hand.
Ning Shu curled her lips. “Since when did I owe you money?”
“Cut the crap and hand over the money, or you’ll regret it,” the strong man said coldly. He pointed to Zhenzhen on Ning Shu’s back. “Your child will also be sold.”
Zhenzhen stared at these people with her pair of black grape-like eyes. She didn’t know what these people wanted to do, so she giggled.
Zhenzhen was a child who wasn’t shy with strangers.
Ning Shu moved her neck and made a cracking sound.
The man had such a sturdy build yet he didn’t do any honest work and insisted on being a robber.
Ning Shu didn’t even use one-tenth of her power to beat these people until they couldn’t get up.
The four men covered their stomachs and groaned painfully. They sprawled on the ground and couldn’t get up.
Ning Shu picked up her things and stepped on their hands, grinding them into the ground one at a time.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
“My hand, my hand…”
The four men clasped their hands. The areas that Ning Shu had stepped on turned purple and the backs of their hands were swollen.
Ning Shu beamingly said, “Next time I see you robbing someone again, I will crush your hands into flat cakes.”
The four people ran away in a flurry. Ning Shu carried her things and went home.
Back in the village, the villagers who had asked Ning Shu to bring them things gave her meat and animal fur in exchange since they had no money to give her.
Ning Shu made a small vest for Zhenzhen with the fur.
Fur clothing was very precious.
When it came to making clothes, Ning Shu found that her skill was lacking and that she seriously couldn’t make clothes and shoes.
Ning Shu succeeded in making a small pair of underpants for Zhenzhen with difficulty. Ning Shu could only ask others for help with the larger pieces of clothing.
Ning Shu sat at the side, learning how to thread a needle. It wasn’t like she wanted to learn how to be a good wife and loving mother so there was no need for her to be able to make attractive butterfly embroidery.
She just wanted to know enough so that in case her clothes ripped in the future, she would be able to repair them herself.
If she came across an extreme environment, this skill could be used.
She should learn these skills now so she wouldn’t be caught unaware in the future.
After that, Ning Shu made some clothes for herself. Although they weren’t very beautiful, they were quite comfortable to wear.
After all, in this place, no one cared about something looking good. Practicality and convenience were valued more.
She was now someone that could sew!
The high priest’s health was getting worse and worse, especially after the weather turned cold. He would lie in bed all day.
The high priest called Ning Shu to his presence and asked Ning Shu to help take care of his successor, the next high priest, after he passed away.
A child that looked only about seven crouched beside the bed and wiped his tears as he looked towards the high priest.
Ning Shu took the high priest’s pulse and said, a bit dumbfounded, “Are you really dying, or are you just scaring yourself? Your body is weak, but not to the point of dying.”
“I understand the situation with my own body,” the high priest said. “When Xuan Yuanhao removed the poisonous insect from himself, I suffered a backlash.”
Ning Shu remembered that the high priest had vomited a mouthful of blood at that time.
