After the warehouse was cleared, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned the same way.

Huo Changhe whispered: "Originally, we thought that the harmful thing was made by Mr. Mo. Now that we have seen so many here, it seems that there are countless connections between the Lord of Yongchang County and Mr. Mo."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "There are also those horses. We previously guessed that those horses were one of the transactions between the Yongchang County Lord's Palace and Mr. Mo. If this herb is also for Mr. Mo, then their cooperation is deeper than we imagined. many."

Huo Changhe paused slightly, and Yan Ruyu asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to go to the fields and have a look. Maybe there are still some in the fields."

Yan Ruyu was right. The ones she had just collected didn't look like they had been harvested for a long time. Maybe there were still ungrown ones in the field.

The manor was really big enough. It passed through several fields of fruit trees, then through vegetable fields, and passed by a pond. I vaguely saw something strange in front of it.

"Look, what is that?" Huo Changhe asked, pointing forward.

Yan Ruyu was thinking that there were few varieties of these things in the manor. At this period, there were not many categories, and the agricultural technology was also low. They could only harvest what they sow and rely on the weather for food.

There are no technological improvements, and there are no greenhouses or the like that can artificially improve growing conditions.

Just when I thought of this, after listening to Huo Changhe's words, I looked up and saw something on the ground... something like a cylinder lying on the ground.

Why does this look a bit like... a greenhouse?

Yan Ruyu quickly walked a few steps closer. It turned out to be a simple greenhouse. It was impossible to have insulation materials such as plastic sheets, but covering it with a straw curtain was much better than leaving it exposed.

"Go, go in and have a look."

Yan Ruyu was obsessed with wondering who had such advanced brains to think of such a method. She was distracted and didn't care about anything else, so she went in side by side with Huo Changhe.

As soon as she took two steps, a group of black figures rushed towards her, making a huffing sound. Yan Ruyu's hair suddenly stood on end, her voice was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't scream at all. She grabbed Huo Changhe tightly with both hands.

Fortunately, Huo Changhe was a reliable person and found out earlier than she did. He hugged her with one hand and protected her tightly in his arms. He unsheathed the sword with one hand, but he didn't use the sword immediately. He raised his leg and kicked the black shadow. Shadow was kicked out and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Okay, it's okay," Huo Changhe comforted her softly, stroking her back and feeling her tension. It turned out that she was still a little funny in his heart, but at this time he was only filled with self-blame.

This time, he realized that Yan Ruyu was not joking or being pretentious, but was really afraid of dogs.

This fear is deep in my bones and cannot be overcome.

There is no need to twist her to overcome it.

"Dead?" Yan Ruyu slowly let out the choked breath.

"No, fainted," Huo Changhe replied, without urging her, and gently comforted her, waiting for her to recover slowly.

Although Yan Ruyu is afraid of dogs, she is not ruthless enough to kill dogs at the sight of them, and there is nothing wrong with the dogs themselves.

"Let's go and have a look," Yan Ruyu held on to him tightly and wouldn't let go, walking sideways, not daring to stride forward alone.

Huo Changhe patiently comforted her, hugged her forward, and walked past the place where the dog lay.

Yan Ruyu didn't slow down until she was very far away.

"Okay, I'm much better," Yan Ruyu said a little embarrassed, "Let's laugh."

Huo Changhe hugged her and said in a distressed tone: "Why are you laughing at me? Don't worry, our family will not have a dog in the future."

Yan Ruyu's heart warmed: "Yeah."

Looking around the greenhouse, as expected, all the herbs were grown.

These plants were obviously smaller than the ones they collected in the warehouse and had not yet grown.

"We absolutely cannot keep these," Huo Changhe said.

"Yes," Yan Ruyu nodded, "but if we set it on fire now, it will definitely arouse their vigilance, and then they will find that the contents of the grain depot are also missing."

"I'm not afraid, but there's no need to get involved now," Yan Ruyu thought for a while, "We can delay it."

"How to delay?"

Yan Ruyu looked up at the greenhouse: "I remember the abbot said that it will be sunny in the next few days. Although it is autumn and the air is crisp, the sunshine at noon is also very warm. Let's take advantage of this."

Huo Changhe understood what she meant: "You want to..."

Yan Ruyu smiled slyly: "I will sprinkle something on the straw shed, and when the sun is hot, it will spontaneously ignite."

Huo Changhe praised: "This method is wonderful."

……

In the middle of the night, Huo Changxian sat on a chair and looked at the Jinshan Mountain opposite.

Jinshan was still dressed like a shaman, with a wide robe and a mask, with only one eye exposed.

Can't move.

Huo Changxian couldn't hide the excitement in his voice: "Shaman, help me figure it out. Am I destined to be rich and noble? I won't just live in Lincheng, right?"

Jinshan had known for a long time that Huo Changxian was ambitious and wanted to be the overlord of a party, and did not want to just be the "son of the county lord".

But he can't speak now. He wants to talk too much: things about Yongchang, things about the racecourse, etc.

But I couldn't utter a single word.

Huo Changxian waited for a long time but received no reply. The shaman just looked at him helplessly.

"Tell me, what conditions do you want to help me? As long as you say it, I can agree to anything!" Huo Changxian's voice was low, and he came closer to him, "You don't have to worry about others, just say it."

It doesn't matter whether it's a blood contract or anything that damages his body - it's not his body that's damaged anyway.

After finally giving up two big shops and leaving people behind, how can we not go to the extreme?

If the shaman doesn't answer tonight... Huo Changxian has made up his mind, then he will keep wasting it until he says it!

Anyway, we can't just waste our time and let the shop fail.

Jinshan's eyes were so anxious that he couldn't say anything or move. He was clearly in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do anything.

Huo Changxian repeated the question several times and put forward many tempting conditions, but the shaman said nothing.

Two full hours had passed, and Huo Changxian's eyes were a little red, and his patience was running out.

He couldn't help but hold the shaman's shoulder and shake it gently: "You are talking, is there anything you can't say?"

With this shaking, something suddenly fell out of the shaman's sleeve.

He was startled, then leaned over to pick it up. It was a folded yellow paper.

It's the same paper as the previous talisman.

When you unfold it, there are only two words on it: loss of wealth.

Huo Changxian frowned. No matter how he read these two words, he felt that they didn't sound like good news.

Lost money, what kind of money was lost?

Two shops? If you say so, it is not a loss of money.

He gritted his teeth secretly and raised his eyes to look at Jinshan: "I invite you here not to lose money, but to gain something."

……

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to their residence, and Huo Changhe asked: "By the way, when you were at the County Lord's Mansion, what method did you use to make that sound? It didn't sound like Jinshan's sound to me."

"That's certainly not his voice."
