"She is... Chi Meng?"

The girl's name instantly popped up in Shen Ye's mind.

"Why would she come... No, anything could happen in the current plot. Besides, it's normal to pass through Yuzhou when going from Miaojiang to Central Plains."

He knew that Chi Meng left Miaojiang in order to find the Bad Leader Yuan Tiangang, and now most of the Bad People were active in the Central Plains. If she wanted to find the Bad Leader, she could only go to the Central Plains. The shortest way from Miaojiang to the Central Plains was through Bashu and Yu and through Guanzhong.

Just as he was thinking about it, the shopkeeper in the pawnshop showed his yellow teeth and said to Chi Meng: "Little kid, what a treasure you have here is not at all. It is clearly an ordinary gourd. If it were not for its exquisite workmanship, I would think one tael is too much, let alone two taels of silver."

"Nonsense, this is obviously a treasure." Chi Meng slammed the counter hard again, but his voice was still soft and there was no anger in his voice.

"It's worth at least... ten taels of silver." Then she made the number ten with both hands.

"Three taels at most, otherwise, little kid, you'd better go pawn it somewhere else." A gleam of light flashed in the pawnshop owner's eyes, but he waved his hand impatiently.

"It's only worth three taels..." Chi Meng looked at the gourd in his hand and felt very regretful. He wondered why he was so greedy. He spent all the silver he had brought with him when he sneaked out before even reaching the Central Plains.

However, if she had no money, she would starve, and what Chi Meng feared most was starvation.

"Okay, three taels is fine, give me the money quickly." Chi Meng placed the gourd on the counter reluctantly, then stretched out her fair little hand to the pawnshop owner.

"Here it is, here it is."

While bending down to take the silver, the pawnshop owner couldn't help but grin. The gourd was worth hundreds of taels, let alone ten taels of silver, but now he had cheated it out of his pocket for only three taels. When the time came, he only had to tamper with it and make it a dead pawn, and then he could make hundreds of taels by reselling it.

However, just as he took out the silver and threw it on the counter, preparing to take the small gourd away, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind the girl and pressed the gourd before he could.

"Boss, the way you do business is a bit too much." Shen Ye stared at the pawnshop owner and said in a cold voice.

The shopkeeper wanted to glare back at him, but when he saw Shen Ye's cold eyes, he panicked and softened his tone. However, he still managed to say, "It's not excessive. It's the same price. Three taels is already very high."

"Yeah, big pot, this uncle said it's worth only three or two taels at most!" Chi Meng was in a hurry to get the money and actually spoke for the pawnshop owner.

Shen Ye was very upset. How could this girl not have any common sense? He said angrily, "You little girl, you are cheated and you still count the money. Your little gourd is not only exquisitely made, but also very useful. If this guy does something to it, your treasure will become a dead pawn. When he resells it, he can easily make several hundred taels!"

"Nonsense, this thing is not a treasure at all, it's only worth three taels." The shopkeeper was even more panicked, and then he said: "And you find someone who is willing to pay several hundred taels for her, who is willing to pay!"

"Yes, yes!" Chi Meng was not as tall as Shen Ye, and nodded repeatedly under his arm.

Then, she saw the big pot in front of her take out a few golden ingots from behind him.

"These are three gold ingots, each weighing ten taels. According to the current gold-silver exchange rate, they are worth at least two hundred taels of silver. Take them, little girl."

As he spoke, Shen Ye placed the three gold ingots in his hand into the hand that Chi Meng subconsciously stretched out.

The heavy feel of the three gold ingots in her hands made Chi Meng's mouth open wide. Although she was a saint girl in Miaojiang, she was usually taken care of by others in her daily life and basically had no contact with money. She couldn't help but mutter, "It only costs one or two taels of silver for me to eat a table of food. Now I have more than 200 silvers, can't I eat more than 200 tables of food?"

Hearing this, Shen Ye's mouth twitched, but he also knew that this girl loved to eat and was a big eater, so he was not too surprised and just looked at the pawnshop owner.

"This gourd is mine now."

The duck in his mouth was about to fly away, and the pawnshop owner immediately said anxiously: "I'll make the first offer."

"But the highest bidder wins, and she took my money first." Shen Ye glanced at the few pieces of silver in his hand, sneered disdainfully, and then stuffed the small gourd into his arms.

Seeing Shen Ye put the gourd on his waist, the pawnshop owner became anxious again. But just as he was about to say something, he saw Shen Ye just slap the counter lightly, and a palm print appeared on the counter. He immediately swallowed back the words on his lips, and then said tremblingly: "Have a good time, you two. I won't see you off."

Ignoring the pawnshop owner, Shen Ye glanced at Chi Meng, who seemed to be confused and holding the gold, and turned and left the pawnshop. Helping Chi Meng was just a matter of convenience; curing Miao Chengtian's illness was more important.

But as soon as he left, Chi Meng woke up and quickly followed him, saying, "Big Pot, is my gourd really worth that much money?"

"If you think it's not worth it, you can redeem it now." Shen Ye took out the gourd and handed it to her.

"No, no, I won't have anything to eat without money." Chi Meng quickly held the gold in his arms and shook his head vigorously.

Hearing this, Shen Ye just smiled, then turned and walked towards the pharmacy next to the pawnshop.

Seeing Shen Ye enter the pharmacy, Chi Meng thought about it and followed him in.

Shen Ye handed the prescription in his hand to the medicine shop clerk who came to receive him, and then turned his head to glance at Chi Meng who was following him, and teased: "Why are you still following me when you have the money? Do you like me?"

After so much time has passed, he thinks he may have attributes that attract women, but he doesn't think he can make a strange woman fall in love with him at first sight. They need to get along for a while at least.

"I would like to treat you, Daguoguo, to a meal. After all, you gave me a lot of money." Chi Meng said as a matter of course.

Shen Ye shook his head: "No, I just finished lunch not long ago."

"Then I can treat Daguoguo to dinner." Chi Meng said immediately.

"That's still a little early." Shen Ye glanced outside the pharmacy. It was just past noon and still very early for evening.

"It's okay, I can wait." Chi Meng looked like he was going to treat her to a meal.

"Then you have to wait until I finish the task at hand." Shen Ye knew that Chi Meng was the kind of person who would definitely do what she decided to do, so he just let her do it.

After taking the two new medicines handed over by the pharmacy clerk, Shen Ye immediately turned around and left the pharmacy.

"Big Pot, wait for me."

Seeing him walk out without looking back, Chi Meng thought for a moment, then quickly followed him.
