Chapter 17 Selling deer antler, a black shop

At this moment, Gu Shuixiu went out to sea and finally saw the situation on the sea clearly. After the bamboo raft was far away from the beach, there were endless groups of reefs, which were only more than one meter away from the sea, so last time Dong Chenghu was able to get into the water here to transport things.

The reef group was covered with many shells. Gu Shuixiu actually saw oysters inside. It was a delicious food on earth!

If the two of them were not rushing to Linhai County to sell things, she would have asked Dong Chenghu to go into the water to get it out for her.

There are many large and small sea fish in the reef group, and there are fish in the distance flashing by. They are all treasures!

The more Gu Shuixiu looked, the more he became obsessed, and the more he looked, the better he felt. He looked at the sea and was in a daze.

Dong Chenghu was trying hard to support the bamboo poles because he could leverage his strength on the reef group.

The two finally arrived in Linhai County before dark.

Many shops in Panlong Town at this site have closed, but Linhai County is different. In such a prosperous town, the streets are clear at night, and many shops will be opened until it gets completely dark. Those restaurants, inns, and brothels will not close until dawn.

All the fishing boats on the river docked. Gu Shuixiu and his wife stopped at the port. The people guarding the port returned differently. Gu Shuixiu and his wife did not want to cause trouble, so they paid the docking fee according to the charging standards of the fishing boats.

As soon as the couple got ashore, they walked towards the pharmacy. The antler on the sika deer's head had been cut off and kept. They could sell it for a good price while it was fresh.

The two of them arrived quickly before the pharmacy closed.

The shopkeeper thought they were here to buy medicine, so he said hurriedly: "My store is going to be closed. If you two want to get medicine, please give me the prescription."

Gu Shuixiu smiled calmly, "Shopkeeper, we don't catch medicine. We sell medicine, but I don't know if the shopkeeper has time to take a look?"

The shopkeeper then looked at Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu in person. Seeing that they were dressed, they didn’t want to be poor. Then they asked seriously: “What medicinal materials? If it is ordinary medicinal materials, please come here again tomorrow.”

The shopkeeper means that he looks down on those ordinary people.

Gu Shuixiu knew that the shopkeeper was not a good-natured person. She was angry and said mysteriously, "I have a good antler here. I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?"

When the shopkeeper heard it was an antler, his eyes immediately lit up. A scheming flashed in his eyes. He enthusiastically welcomed Gu Shuixiu and his wife to the inner room, and asked the work to serve tea to the two of them.

Dong Chenghu was flattered, sat upright without expression, and did not speak, as if he was ignoring the past.

The shopkeeper saw clearly, pointed the muzzle at Gu Shuixiu, and smiled flatteringly: "I don't know what the little lady calls me? My pharmacy is the largest and best in Linhai County. You just need to go out and ask for it. The price I give here is also the most reasonable."

Gu Shuixiu smiled, and did not take the shopkeeper's words to heart, and said softly: "Shopkeeper, we have just arrived in Linhai County today. I heard that the price of selling medicinal materials for your house is extremely fair, so I worked hard and ran nearly a hundred miles away."

The shopkeeper's body was slapped by Gu Shuixiu's flattery.

I immediately said with a smile: "Well, take out the medicinal materials and show me. If it is really great, I promise I won't lose money to you."

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other, and then Dong Chenghu took out the pair of cloth-wrapped deer antlers in the basket.

The shopkeeper was indeed very happy when he saw it, but the flash of plan in his eyes did not escape Gu Shuixiu's eyes.

The shopkeeper suddenly frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied, and his tone of speaking became a little cold.

"I think it's such a good antler. It looks like a newly grown sika deer. The blood on it looks like it's not new..."

The shopkeeper said something disgusting, and finally said reluctantly: "If you want to sell it, I will give you three taels of silver. This is the highest price. There is definitely no pharmacy in Linhai County that will give you such a high price."

Gu Shuixiu's face immediately sank. Don't think she didn't know. This pair of deer antlers could sell for 18 taels of silver. Is this shopkeeper sending beggars?

Gu Shuixiu immediately wrapped the deer antler and pulled Dong Chenghu into action and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper's face immediately became unfavorable, and he said with some warning: "If you leave my door, I will not accept your medicinal materials again."

Gu Shuixiu stopped. The shopkeeper thought Gu Shuixiu was frightened by him, and a smirk smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But Gu Shuixiu said, "I'm not hiding the shopkeeper. I don't sell this pair of deer antlers without twenty taels. Since you don't buy them here, we just sell them to other pharmacies. No matter how bad it is, it can be sold to a wealthy family like the Zhang family. I don't believe that this pair of deer antlers is not worth twenty taels!"

Gu Shuixiu said it loudly.

The shopkeeper's face turned completely dark. He gave a look at the servant, and then said viciously: "You will sell it even if you don't sell it today!"

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu were surrounded by four thugs, and the shopkeeper was in a row and in a way that he was determined to win.

Gu Shuixiu became more and more angry. Before she could speak, Dong Chenghu had already pulled out a machete from the basket and looked at the people in front of him with a sharp look.

When the four thugs saw it, they rushed up immediately. The shopkeeper took the opportunity to grab the antler from Gu Shuixiu's arms. Gu Shuixiu discovered it. She immediately pulled out the protective knife and stabbed him in the hand while the shopkeeper was not paying attention.

The pharmacy suddenly heard a scream like a pig slaughter. The thugs were panicked and were beaten by Dong Chenghu in a few seconds.

Gu Shuixiu took the opportunity to put the knife on the shopkeeper's neck. The shopkeeper was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything, and said stammeringly: "Goddess, please spare me, I...I will never dare to make any more of your ideas."

Dong Chenghu tied up the thugs. Seeing Gu Shuixiu's appearance as if she was not letting the shopkeeper go, she was afraid something would happen, so she quickly came over to persuade her.

Gu Shuixiu ignored it and immediately looked at the shopkeeper threateningly.

"Can you tell me how much the antler is worth now?"

The shopkeeper had been scared for a long time, so he didn't dare to be careful. He said tremblingly: "It's worth... it's worth twenty taels of silver."

"This is almost the same!" Gu Shuixiu glared at the shopkeeper sharply, with a warning, "We just came over and carried a deer. The pedestrians on the road saw it. We are not afraid of you biting you back later. At worst, we can go to the county official together and said, "But I am afraid of being timid when I am afraid, and maybe I will accidentally tell the secrets you have fucked. What should I do?"

Gu Shuixiu looked at a certain direction in the pharmacy in horror. The shopkeeper originally thought Gu Shuixiu was just threatening him, but now he was really panicked. He immediately begged for mercy and said, "Grandma, I am blind and shouldn't have made any decisions about you. Just tell me, how can I let the young one go?"
