Chapter 23: 23 - Unexpected Harvest

Chapter 23 Unexpected Harvest

Two food stamps might not mean much to the other people on the street, but to Lu Heng, it was definitely a large sum of money.

It was these two food stamps that motivated him to seek revenge on the unscrupulous seller.

If he could get these two food stamps back, then he would have a total of four food stamps.

Four food stamps could be exchanged for 40 catties of synthetic food chunks, which would be enough for him and Xiaoxiao to eat for a long time.

Even if he did not exchange them for synthetic food chunks at the grain station, he could still exchange them for some monster meat or something on the black market.

Lu Heng strode forward and soon arrived at the entrance of a narrow shop.

This shop specialized in selling all kinds of herbs, although the ones on display were purely medicinal herbs. Contraband items like flower poison ginseng were kept in a secret corner until someone asked. At this time, the shop owner was tidying up the shelves inside the shop. When he sensed someone behind him, he said without turning his head, “Feel free to look around. If you have anything specific you’re looking for, feel free to ask.”

Lu Heng could hardly suppress the anger in his heart when he saw this person, but he still forced himself to calm down. He stretched out his hand to turn the other person around and asked, “Do you still remember who I am?”

“Ah? Do I know you?”

The shop owner looked confused. He could not remember who Lu Heng was at all.

He sold herbs on this street every day and met many different customers every day. Naturally, he failed to remember Lu Heng, whom he had only met once before.

“Flower poison ginseng. Buy two and get one free. Do you remember now?” Lu Heng took a step closer and replied.

The shop owner heard those words and thought hard for a while. Finally, heseemed to have recollected that incident. He quickly smiled and comforted him, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Aren’t you still fine?”

As he spoke, he instinctively looked at Lu Heng’s hands and saw the saber.

Immediately, the smile on his face disappeared and his expression turned nervous.

Those who could legally carry a saber around were not to be trifled with, so how could he not be worried?

“Give me back the two food stamps,” Lu Heng coldly said as looked at the shop owner.

The shop owner rolled his eyes, and then put on a smiling expression again as he said, “Little brother, you must be joking. If you really want to get those food stamps back, you have to at least bring back the goods I sold you, right?”

“You still want to use that poisonous plant to murder people?” Lu Heng stared at him and said, “I’ve already thrown that thing away. You have to return the food stamps to me.”

“Little brother, if you’ve thrown away the goods, then I definitely won’t return the food stamps to you. Your request is unreasonable no matter how you look at it, don’t you think so?” The shop owner patiently persuaded him.

If it had been anyone else, he would not have given them any face, but the other party was carrying a saber.

In fact, the only reason he was not willing to return the food stamps was because he was essentially just a middleman.

If the other party did not return the goods, then returning the food stamps would be equivalent to him taking out two food stamps from his own pocket.

Seeing the shop owner refuse to return the food stamps, Lu Heng became annoyed. He grabbed the shop owner’s collar and said, “You’re still treating this as a simple business matter?”

“You lied to me by saying that the flower poison ginseng is not very toxic, and almost killed me. After all that, you’re even asking me to return the goods?”.

However, at this moment, a voice could be heard from the shop entrance.

“Stop!”

Lu Heng turned his head and saw a man with a saber at his waist standing at the door, looking at him coldly.

When the shop owner saw this middle-aged man, his expression immediately brightened. He immediately pleaded for help, “Second Brother Qin, you have to uphold justice for me. This person is too unreasonable.”

The man with the saber, who was called Second Brother Qin, ignored the shop owner and looked at Lu Heng, “Little brother, release him first. Don’t be so impulsive. If there’s anything, we can talk about it.”

“Although Jing’an Alley is a black market, everyone here follows the rules. If you are in the right, we definitely won’t stand in the way of justice.”

Second Brother Qin was in charge of guarding the place. He had the support of many powerful martial artists behind him.

Under normal circumstances, he would have kicked the other party out without saying a word. However, Lu Heng was a saber-carrying young man.

In Jiangnan City, there was only one kind of person who could carry a saber around at such a young age, and that would be a student from the University of Martial Arts.

As such, he had to resolve things properly to avoid incurring the ire of the teacher behind Lu Heng. After all, if he accidentally provoked Lu Heng and the latter went to his teacher to complain, the matter would become very troublesome.

At that time, even the big boss behind him might not be able to settle the matter.

The weakest teacher of the University of Martial Arts was a level-four martial artist, and the principal of the university was a grandmaster.

Moreover, black market transactions were illegal. It would be best if the matter could be dealt with without kicking up a fuss.

“Are you the one in charge here?” Lu Heng asked.

The man with the saber nodded and said, “That’s right.”

“Okay.” Lu Heng let go of the collar of the shop owner and said, “This guy owes me a life. What do you think we should do about

it?!

The shop owner immediately turned anxious. Before anyone could speak, he hurriedly explained, “Second Brother Qin, he’s not telling the truth. I just sold him three flower poison ginseng plants…”

He stopped abruptly before he could finish his words. Obviously, he had realized that he should not have said that.

Lu Heng looked at Second Brother Qin calmly and said, “You heard him. He admitted it himself.”

Second Brother Qin’s expression instantly darkened, and he looked sternly at the shop

owner.

“Old Xu, your eyes have been blinded by dog sh*t. Who dares to sell flower poison ginseng here?”

Based on his understanding of Old Xu’s character, he could immediately guess what had happened at that time.

Old Xu probably thought that this university student was young and immature, so he lied to the other party and sold them some flower poison ginseng

The shop owner saw that Second Brother Qin was looking at him with an expression that was full of killing intent, so he hurriedly explained, “Second Brother Qin, he didn’t have a saber with him at that time. You can’t blame me for this. Moreover, I didn’t misjudge this person back then. He was just an ordinary…”

“Shut up!” Second Brother Qin scolded the shop owner fiercely.

Then, he looked at Lu Heng again and said, “Little brother, how do you want to resolve this matter?”

Noticing that the other party seemed to be afraid, Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, “Ask him to give me 10,000 food stamps, and this matter will be considered settled.”

They were about to bargain back and forth, so Lu Heng naturally had to start high.

After he heard Lu Heng’s request he said, “Little brother really knows how to joke. Even if you kill him, he won’t be able to give you 10,000 food stamps.”

“How about this? Give me and our boss some face. See if there’s anything in his shop that you like. Take a few things and we’ll forget about this matter altogether. How about that?

When Lu Heng heard this, he pretended to be reluctant and said, “Okay, I’ll give you guys some face.”

He had come here this time only to ask for two food stamps back, but the other party had now told him that he could take some things from this shop.

This outcome had far exceeded his expectations, so he naturally had no objections.

Of course, he still had to put on a reluctant expression.

Since Lu Heng agreed, Second Brother Qin smiled and said, “Little brother, please be reasonable. Don’t go too far. Thanks.”

After saying that, he glared fiercely at the shop owner again before turning around and

leaving

Lu Heng slowly turned his head toward the shop owner.
