Then she went back to the house and took out a box from the cabinet. Inside were three hairpins, a jade bracelet, a string of Buddhist beads, and a pair of earrings.

I picked up the earrings, placed them next to my ears, and compared them in the mirror. If I had pierced ears, they would look great in me.

Liu Dahua was in the warehouse in the backyard, fetching water to wash clothes. When she returned to the house, she saw Shen Li looking at the earrings.

She knew that this was a gift from Qin Yu.

"Ali, if you like wearing earrings, why don't you let me pierce your ears for you."

Shen Li put the earrings back into the box, and then put the box back into the cabinet: "Forget it, mother. I'm still a little afraid of the pain. I'll talk about it when I have the courage."

"It's just a piercing of the ears, what courage do you need?"

"Of course."

"You."

Three days later, Li the Hunter drove a cart, took his two daughters, and Shen Xing with him to go to the three counties to sell ointment.

The flyers were left over from last time. Qin Yu asked someone to write a lot of them.

She planned not to bother him if she ran out of money this time. She could go to the county and hire someone to write it for her. After all, she had enough money now.

They first went to Meng County and came back in the evening.

Hunter Li unloaded the carriage, fed the horses, and then returned home.

Li Erya and Li Daya came to see Shen Li.

"Ali, this is the money from today's sales." Li Daya gave all the money to Shen Li: "A total of 423 boxes were sold, 211 taels and 50 coins."

"so much?"

"I thought about it and thought your strategy was effective. Many people came to buy today."

In fact, there is no strategy, it is just hunger marketing: "It seems that the publicity is still okay."

"Well, I think most people know about the ointment, and we are not far from Meng County, so naturally some people know about it."

"Indeed, after we sell out this batch of goods, we can consider cooperating with them."

"I've asked around. The Hong Hong Rouge Shop in Meng County sells pretty well. It has a long-standing reputation and the owner is a very nice person."

"Okay, Sister Daya, you should go back and rest early. You've been tired all day."

Li Daya nodded, and Li Erya, who was waiting on the side, said tiredly: "Then let's go back."

After the two sisters left, Shen Xing started to wash his hands and eat.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Shen Li felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Do you remember what I told you about meeting a drunkard?"

"Remember, I won't meet him again, will I?"

"That's right. Last time I felt sorry for him and treated him to a drink. This time I helped him pay off his drinking debt." Shen Xing didn't dare to look Shen Li in the eye.

Shen Li knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, so he pretended to be unhappy and asked indifferently, "How much?"

"Twenty-three taels." Shen Xing's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Shen Li suppressed his laughter: "You..."

"I know the money is yours, and you shouldn't use it to do something like being taken advantage of. Li Erya has already said that there are so many poor people in the world, and I can't help every one I see, or you'll be ruined sooner or later. But I saw that waiter was chasing him like a dog, and although he was down and out, I always felt that he was once a hero and shouldn't be treated like that. I really couldn't stand it, so I helped him pay it back. If you want to say something, I'll say it, because the money won't be returned anyway."

After hearing what he said, Shen Li didn't want to continue teasing him.

"Third brother, I was just teasing you. Let alone more than 20 taels, even if it was more than 200 taels, I would not say anything. It is right to help people. We have the ability, so it is okay to help. But you have to distinguish whether you are helping good people or bad people. And that waiter, his attitude is wrong, but think about it, the shopkeeper is a good person who can make people owe so much money for wine."

Shen Xing suddenly realized: "That's right, but I really don't think that person should be like that."

"I believe in Third Brother. Do you have any money left? If not, I'll get you some."

"Besides, you gave me so much last time, and we couldn't spend it all on our meals and other expenses."

"You didn't tell me that the money was earned by us together, and you have the right to spend it."

"I know, long-winded."

Shen Li looked at him, his eyes revealing, I'm doing this for your own good, why are you talking to me like this?

Shen Xing swallowed her saliva, pinched her throat with her hands and said softly, "I know."

Only then did Shen Li nod.

Thinking about what she was going to say later, she became more serious: "Third brother, I have something to tell you."

Shen Xing looked at her expression and felt that the matter might not be simple, so he couldn't help but become serious: "What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the token with the words 'Huan Hai' written on it that you got when you were a hero saving the beauty?"

"remember."

"I want you to go to the Huanhai Sect to ask for something."

"Asking for something? What?" Shen Xing was puzzled.

"A secret medicine."

"Why do you need medicine? You are not sick."

"I'm useful."

"Ah Li, it's not that I don't want to go, but I only met him once, how could he give it to me?"

"Third brother, you saved Ye Muyu's life. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

“But I don’t think we need to try.”

"Last time at my brother's poetry reading, you lost the bet with me. Now this is what I want you to do. Do you want to shirk your responsibility?" Shen Li didn't want to say this, but she had to do it.

"Who wants to default on the debt? Isn't it just going to Huanhai Sect to ask Ye Muyu for medicine? I can't go there. I really don't understand what you want to do."

"You'll know later."

"Oh, then I can go, but you can't go. I'll go alone, and it's not safe for you to go." Seeing Shen Li was about to speak, Shen Xing blocked him directly: "Don't say anything more. There is no choice. Either I go alone, or no one goes."

Shen Li knew that he was worried about her safety. It was so frustrating. After being assassinated once, she didn't even dare to go out. This was why she had to do this.

"Okay, then you go, do you know where it is?"

"I know. Ye Muyu wants me to join their sect and told me where it is. It's in Nanzhou."

Nanzhou is right next to their Xiezhou, and is also the southernmost state of Qi Dynasty.

There are dense forests there, with the most snakes, ants, rats and insects. All kinds of witchcraft and secret medicines basically come from there. No wonder the Huanhai Sect has secret medicines. It's actually not surprising.

She read all these in a book on mountain and river geology, which her eldest brother got from somewhere. She used it to kill time when she had nothing to do.

As a result, I became addicted to it after reading it for a while. The book basically records the characteristics and topography of each prefecture in the Qi Dynasty. Of course, the topography is different from the map. The topography only introduces the seasons and climate.

What is the name of this book? Shen Li thought hard and realized, "Mountain and River Records".

"Third brother, you can go on horseback. Don't rush. How long will it take to get back?"
