Chapter 379 - A Person Who Cannot Be Tricked Just With Money, Accidental

Qin Shu saw Mu Ke's actions from the corner of her eye. She did not even twitch her eyebrows as she picked up the strawberry cake and stretched out her leg at the same time.

Mu Ke's target was the strawberry cake, to make Qin Shu unable to eat it. However, she did not notice that Qin Shu's leg that was suddenly outstretched and she tripped, causing her center of gravity to s.h.i.+ft. She fell straight to the ground in the position of a dog gnawing on mud. In the instant she fell to the ground, there was a "thud" sound, and her jaw and teeth felt numb. Her head was also buzzing, her internal organs seemed to have been moved, and the pain was unbearable.

Not long after, blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

Mu Ke was tripped over by Qin Shu because she had been too aggressive just now. This fall was a little fierce, making her sprawled on the ground in the most embarra.s.sing position, unable to get up for a moment.

Qin Shu held the strawberry cake in her hand and looked down at Mu Ke. What did it mean by getting what one deserved? It was exactly Mu Ke's state right now. Her gaze was a little cold. "Everyone has a bottom line. My bottom line is, don't provoke me, or I'll make you regret knowing me."

Mu Ke glared at Qin Shu angrily. She opened his mouth to curse, but when she opened her mouth, it was full of blood.

Qin Shu looked at Mu Ke's resentful eyes and her gaze turned colder. "I'm not just saying this casually. It's naturally best if we could get along peacefully. Otherwise, if you keep challenging my bottom line, I don't know what kind of outrageous things I'll do either."

What Qin Shu meant was: I'm not a kind person. If you provoke me, I definitely won't go easy on you.

Mu Ke felt a chill down her spine when she was stared at by Qin Shu's cold eyes. She could not help but feel afraid deep down. Initially, she had wanted to get up and give Qin Shu a good beating, but she did not dare to now.

She quietly got up from the ground and returned to her own desk. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale due to the pain and the corner of her mouth was full of blood.

She secretly gritted her teeth and her eyes were filled with hatred. If she did not take revenge, her surname would not be Mu…

Qin Shu also did not pay attention to Muke either. She lowered her head and continued to eat the strawberry cake, hoping that Muke would behave in the future.

On Sunday, Qin Shu went out alone. She went out not to play, but to go through the streets, looking for the old Chinese medicine.

Qin Shu went out full of antic.i.p.ation.

She was not familiar with Imperial College, but with a map, it was much more convenient.

She had entered all the pharmacies that she pa.s.sed by. Other than the herbs that Gu Yan had mentioned, what she had asked for were all herbs that had similar properties to the missing herb.

However, the pharmacist at the pharmacy replied, "Don't have."

Qin Shu walked out of the pharmacy and looked up at the scorching sun above her head. The dazzling sunlight made her squint her eyes.

There was no such herb in the pharmacies.

She suddenly remembered something. That was if there were such herbs in pharmacies, Gu Yan would definitely have known about it long ago.

Gu Yan was proficient in pharmacology. He must have thought of all the herbs available in the market.

Qin Shu lowered her eyes. Where could she find the herbs then?

Looking at the busy street, she felt lost for the first time.

Just then, an old man in a light blue Tang Dynasty costume brushed past Qin Shu and walked slowly into the pharmacy.

"Boss, I dug up a few ginsengs this time when I went up the mountains. How much do you think they cost?"

"We're all old acquaintances. I won't give you a low price."

Qin Shu heard the conversation between the old man and the owner of the pharmacy. She turned her head curiously and saw the old man take out three ginsengs from a cloth bag full of patches. They were not small, and as there was still soil on the ginseng, it was obvious that they had only been dug out no more than a few days ago.

After she finished watching the transaction process, it was not like before where many medicinal herbs were wild on the mountain. Now, many of them were artificially planted.

There were no medicinal herbs in the pharmacy. Would there be any on the mountain?

Thinking that there might be medicinal herbs on the mountain, Qin Shu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she stood at the entrance of the pharmacy and waited for the old man to come out.

After the old man counted the money, he put it into the cloth bag like a treasure and covered it tightly. Only then did he turn around and slowly walk out.

Qin Shu waited for the old man to come out before going up and asking, "Old Man, which mountain did you dig up the mountain ginseng from? Why don't I see any mountains nearby?"

If there were mountains near Imperial College, one should be able to see the silhouettes of the mountains by standing here. However, Qin Shu had been walking around for a whole day and did not see the silhouettes of any mountains, so she felt that it was a little strange.

The old man looked at the young fair maiden in front of him. "You asked where the mountain is. Are you trying to steal the business of an old man like me?"

Qin Shu hurriedly shook her head. "No, no, I just would like to know where it is. My friend is short of a medicinal herb, so I would like to go up the mountain to look for it."

The old man raised his white eyebrows. "Although I'm old, I'm not muddle-headed. If you're trying to trick me."

"..."

He was indeed not stupid, but rather very shrewd.

"Old Man, I'm still a student, and I don't lack money. If you tell me, I can give you a reward."

At the mention of money, the old man's eyes lit up. "Then how much do you plan to offer? Is it as much as the price of the three ginsengs just now?"

The old man's reaction let Qin Shu know that he was the kind of miser who liked money very much.

"I can double it for you."

Hearing that it was doubled, the old man narrowed his eyes with joy. Then, he glanced at the little girl in front of him warily, as if he wanted to see if she was teasing him. Oh, this old man.

"How could a student like you have so much money? Then show it to me. This old man has never seen so much money in one go." The old man could not help but question.

Qin Shu only had a small amount of cash on her. Most of the time, she paid with her card and mobile phone, where it was convenient and fast.

"I don't have so much cash on me. If you don't believe me, Old Man, you can follow me to the nearest ATM. I'll take it out and show it to you."

Hearing that, the old man felt that it was very troublesome. He felt that the little girl in front of him must have deliberately tricked him.

"Then aren't you delaying my return time? I still have to catch the bus. If I'm late, I wouldn't be able to make it back home."

Qin Shu's gaze swept around and saw the bank sign not far away. She pointed at the bank not far away and said, "The ATM is just over there. It's also very fast to withdraw money. It wouldn't take much of your time."

The old man followed the little girl's gaze and looked over, and also saw the bank. The old money grubber was a little tempted when he thought of the double price, so he nodded. "Then I'll reluctantly go with you."

Qin Shu let out a sigh of relief. She brought the old man all the way to the bank. The bank would have an ATM.

Qin Shu asked the old man to wait outside while she went in to withdraw the money.

The old man nodded and stood outside holding his cloth bag.

Withdrawing the money was actually very fast. It was just that she could not withdraw too much each time. Qin Shu only withdrew enough money across several times. In order to be safe, she took out some more cash in case she needed it.

Qin Shu walked out with the money and saw the old man leaning against the door with his cloth bag. Seeing her come out, he stood up straight again.

Qin Shu waved the two stacks of money in her hands in front of the old man.. "Old Man, you tell me where the mountain is, and this money is your reward."
