"What else could it mean? Balong, since I called you over, isn't the meaning still obvious?"

The fat shopkeeper looked at One-Eye man and said with a smile.

"It is indeed a fat fish, but to be able to spend so much money, he may have a lot of background. I don't know the situation, so I don't dare to take action rashly."

Regarding the words of the fat shopkeeper, One-Eye man Balong just shook his head slightly.

"My brothers are not as big as your Herbal Hall family, and they have the government's backing. If we mess with someone we shouldn't mess with, we will be in bad luck."

Hearing Balong's words, the fat shopkeeper just sneered.

"Balong, when did you become so timid? Can you let the fat sheep pass by? As for what you are worried about, huh, if you really have some background skills, you will still need to hide your head and tail like this."

When he said this, the fat shopkeeper paused slightly before continuing.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, we at Second Young Master are the most honest in everything we do. After we ask you to take action this time, you will not suffer a loss with a 50-50 split. In addition, even if there is any trouble, Second Young Master will take care of it for you."

It seemed that he was waiting for the other party's words. When he heard this, Balong smiled on his face.

"Shopkeeper Yang, now that we have said this, then Mr. Ba will naturally not let go of this fat sheep that comes to his door. I really want to see how much oil and water can be squeezed out of it..."

"Sorry, there is only one pair of high-end Mortal Beast Tortoiseshell in our store, and there is no blood left. As for the high-end bovine Mortal Beast, we do have some, but there is only more than a pound left..."

On Yonghua Street, Xiao Shi glanced at the drug store behind him and shook his head slightly, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Still not. It seems that high-level tortoise Mortal Beast is indeed rare in this place. Although there is some high-level bovine blood, the amount is too small and far from meeting the requirements of Lin Tou."

Thinking in his mind, he had decided to go back first and put down his things before talking.

While walking, I was still thinking about some issues in practice.

"Red Stone Ox, Red Stone Ox, genuine high-end Mortal Beast..."

While walking, Xiao Shi suddenly heard bursts of hawking sounds, coming from somewhere on the street.

He didn't care at first, but he soon realized what was happening. He stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the cry.

"Red Stone Ox!!?"

There was a look of excitement on his face. He didn't know what Red Stone Ox was, but it must be a bovine Strange Beast. The hawking sound sounded like it was the high-end Mortal Beast he wanted.

He was pleasantly surprised and rushed towards the direction of the cry. Soon he saw two tall men dressed as hunters.

"Where is Red Stone Ox!?"

Seeing that there was nothing they wanted in front of them, Xiao Shi frowned and asked.

"This brother is really joking. Red Stone Ox can't stop weighing 10,000 pounds. Our brothers can't carry it."

The two men dressed as hunters showed a hint of joy in their eyes when they saw Xiao Shi, and then they said with a smile.

"Then what's going on with the Red Stone Ox you're talking about?"

"Speaking of luck, Red Stone Ox fell into the trap in our Biantai Village, and was killed by us hunters by luck. Each household got some beef, which happened to be enough for our two brothers to sell, so they came to the city to sell it."

The two Orion men seemed to have known that the other party would ask such a question. They smiled and explained. As they spoke, they took out a half of a huge horn from the package behind them.

Although only half of it, the horn is more than half a meter long, as thick as an adult's thigh, and looks quite powerful.

"Look, these are the horns of Red Stone Ox. In addition, I have dozens of kilograms of beef here."

A man next to him also took out the package, revealing a large piece of bloody flesh inside.

When he saw the exaggerated horns, Xiao Shi basically believed what the two of them said. After all, ordinary cattle Strange Beast were not that big.

"Very good, I want all your meat. Also, do you have any cattle blood? If so, as much as you want. The price is not a problem."

"As for the cow's blood, I do have some, but I didn't bring it with me. Brother, if you are in a hurry, you can go to the village with me."

After hearing Xiao Shi's words, the two hunters looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Isn't it here? Can't you bring it over tomorrow?" Xiao Shi said with a slight frown.

"Yes, yes, but there is a drugstore that wants the cow's blood this morning and plans to go to our village to buy it in the afternoon. I'm afraid brother, you'll be late and won't be able to buy it by then."

"Is that so!?" Xiao Shi had a look of hesitation on his face.

"Don't worry, brother, our village is very close to the county seat. We can be back in two hours at most."

"Okay, just wait for me for a while. I'll put down my things and come to find you."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shi finally nodded.

After finally encountering a high-level bull-like Mortal Beast, he didn't want to just let him go.

Regarding Xiao Shi, the two hunters said that since the things had been sold, they would help Xiao Shi send the things back.

Although Xiao Shi wanted to refuse, considering that it was inconvenient to carry so many things, it would be better for the two of them to share the burden, so he told Lin Tou the news.

Moreover, the two people in front of them were just hunters from a nearby village, and they did not pose much of a threat.

Not long after, Xiao Shi replied to Residence. He asked the two hunters to wait outside the door before carrying his things.

But in the yard, Lin Sheng and Old Zhou were not there. Only Da Huang was lying lazily in the middle of the yard, basking in the sun. He only glanced at the arrival of Xiao Shi and then squinted his eyes and fell asleep again.

"Isn't anyone here!?"

Xiao Shi muttered to himself, then remembered that Lin Sheng seemed to be going out with Old Zhou today.

Woof woof woof...

Just as he was thinking about Da Huang in the yard, he suddenly shouted at the door.

Xiao Shi turned around and saw two hunters standing at the door.

"What's wrong? Didn't I ask you to wait outside?"

"I'm sorry, brother, I can't hold it in anymore and I just want it to be convenient."

A tall hunter scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"The latrine is over there. Move quickly. We'll set off as soon as you're done."

"Definitely, definitely."

The hunter nodded repeatedly and walked quickly towards the hut, only looking around from time to time.

Not long after, the hunter came out with a satisfied look on his face and said to Xiao Shi with some emotion.

"Brother, your yard is quite impressive. How many people live there?"

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at another companion.

The companion understood the situation and slowly moved towards this side.

"Why are you asking so much? Hurry up and go back early." Xiao Shi said impatiently.

With some regret in his heart, he brought the two people over. Now he just wanted to get the cow blood as soon as possible and send these two people away.

However, the next moment, he felt a strong gust of wind coming from the back of his head. He quickly lowered his head to avoid it, but it was still a beat too late. He only felt a sharp pain coming from the back of his head, and then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.

Looking at Xiao Shi lying on the ground, the two robbers showed proud smiles on their faces and pulled the hat off Xiao Shi's face.

"The little brat who doesn't have all his hair is really an idiot."

"Okay, don't waste time. The boss has told me that this is a fat sheep. Let's take a look at what treasures there are while there is no one around."

"Okay."

After saying that, the two immediately headed towards the room in the courtyard.

Woof woof woof...

Seeing the two people's actions, Da Huang suddenly stood up and barked at them.

The taller hunter frowned.

"Third Brother, kill this beast for me, don't let him keep screaming."

"Good luck."

Hearing this, another hunter pulled out a dagger from his arms with a grin.

However, when he looked down at Da Huang in the yard, he found that the yellow dog that had been grinning at them and barking fiercely just a second ago had already run out of the yard with its tail between its legs.

"Fuck, you run so damn fast, this yellow-haired beast."

Seeing this, the hunter cursed and said.

"Okay, just run away. Don't waste time. Move quickly."

The tall hunter said with some dissatisfaction.

Without further delay, the two stepped forward and kicked the locked door open, and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets inside.

The tall hunter in the room took out a gourd from his arms, opened the mouth of the gourd, and a white-haired mouse came out of it.

As soon as the mouse came out, it stood up on its front body, kept sniffing with its nose, looked left and right with its small eyes, and quickly ran out.

"Second brother, why are you standing next to this pile of dried meat, you little rat? Are you hungry?"

The two hunters followed the mouse to a nearby room, and saw that the white-haired mouse was on the ground at this time, looking straight at the pieces of dried meat hanging on the beam, rubbing his hands back and forth, and making a squeaking sound from his mouth, looking quite eager.

"This dried meat is good, bring all of it."

The tall hunter looked at the dried meat and was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it and immediately tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Soon his eyes lit up and he spoke.

The two quickly wrapped up all the dried meat, and then found two more bottles of elixirs under the guidance of the white mouse. They also found some treasure coins themselves. Such a harvest made them ecstatic.

After searching again quickly and finding nothing, the two of them went out immediately without further delay.

"Ouch!!"

The trip was fruitful, and the two of them were in a good mood, but they didn't notice a yellow shadow rushing over from the side.

The short hunter only felt a pain on his buttocks and cried out in pain. When he reacted, he only saw the yellow-haired wild dog running away in a hurry.

"I..."

This almost exploded the short hunter's entire popularity.

He suddenly took out his dagger and wanted to catch up and kill the wild dog.

"Okay, forget about that beast and leave quickly."

But before he could make a move, he was blocked by the tall hunter. He could only spat hard and limped away unwillingly with his companions.

Soon, the two figures disappeared on the long street.

At this time, Da Huang just ran out from the side, got directly into the yard, and rushed to the room where the dried meat was hung. Looking at the empty beams, he barked in frustration.

After burning the incense, Lin Sheng and Old Zhou were walking towards Residence.

"Lord, I can't guarantee that this is about animal materials and medicinal materials. I know Old Zhou quite well. If I buy that store, it will definitely be profitable after it stabilizes..."

"Well, it's indeed pretty good..."

Lin Sheng nodded slightly, thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

Because during this period, he purchased various medicines and animal blood regardless of the cost, which was very expensive.

He also feels some pressure now. After all, the more money he has, the less money he has. If he keeps sitting on nothing, I'm afraid it won't be long before all the money in his hand is used up.

Therefore, he also plans to purchase some properties in this city to make profits.

He was still a little undecided as to which industry to start with, but Old Zhou suggested starting with animal materials and setting up a store specifically for the sale of animal materials.

This also made him a little excited, so he followed Old Zhou around the city.

The two of them soon arrived near Residence, and before entering the yard, they saw Da Huang rushing out quickly.

They kept circling around their feet, looking quite anxious.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng frowned slightly, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Although Da Huang is a dog, its intelligence is extraordinary and far beyond what ordinary dogs can compare with, except for its courage of course.

As the thought flashed, the figure of Lin Sheng had already shot out, and arrived at the door of the house in a few breaths.

At a glance, he saw Xiao Shi lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

With a sullen face, he quickly stepped forward and took a look at Xiao Shi's status.

At this time, Xiao Shi's face was as pale as paper, and there was a depression on the back of his head, from which a trace of blood was flowing.

The back of his head was severely injured, but fortunately he still had breath. If it had been a little later, he would have been dead.

He took out a pill from his arms, stuffed it into Xiao Shi's mouth, reached out and patted his chin, and the pill entered his belly smoothly.

"What happened, Xiao Shi him..."

At this time, Old Zhou also arrived in a hurry, and his expression changed when he saw Xiao Shi's appearance.

"You go and get a doctor."

"Okay." Old Zhou ran out quickly.

Lin Sheng placed Xiao Shi flat on the stone table, and then ducked into the courtyard next to it.

But Lin Hong and Xie Guilan were not seen.

This made his expression even more gloomy, but after seeing that the yard where the two elders were, was neat and tidy and nothing unusual, he felt a little more relaxed.

Xie Guilan Since the two of them have insisted on eating the Spirit Beast meat powder he gave them every day, their bodies and spirits are much better than before. In addition, it is the first time to come to Tongzhi, so they are quite new to the county, so they go to the streets from time to time.

Judging from the situation in the yard, it seems that the two of them did not encounter any accident. They may have gone to the street.

While he was calming down, he returned to his yard. When he saw the mess in the room, he frowned again.

Because he found that the treasure banknotes, elixirs and Spirit Beast dried meat he had stored had disappeared.
