Number One Ugly Husband

Chapter 22

22. WHAT AN INTERESTING NAME!

The market place in the chaotic city was bustling, the slaves who have set stalls to sell goods strongly recommended their products, where the slaves who want to buys stuff wander around stalls and “merchants”.

Bao Ye and Lao Liu walked for a while on the street and noticed that everyone was exchanging food for the things they needed.

“Lord Bao.” Lao Liu patted his backpack on his back and said, “Xiao Yu Ci and I have brought a lot of food with us to exchange for things, you can pick whatever you want in here.”

Xiao Yu Ci also patted his satchel happily: ” Yes, you can buy whatever you want, and if we don’t have enough food, we can go back and get it.”

Bao Ye was not polite to them, first bought himself a few sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes, and then bought a backpack and some tools for digging herbs.

After he put on the new clothes, he was very happy. You must know that since he arrived here, he has never worn a jacket, and his shoes were also tattered, often pricking his feet.

The food brought by Lao Liu and Xiao Yu Ci was quickly used up, but they didn’t mind, because Bao Ye saved their eldest sister, and it was right to repay Bao Ye with something.

Their shopping spree quickly attracted the attention of others.

Everyone recognized was Xiao Yu Ci. She was a celebrity in the area. People who wanted to curry favor with her greeted her one after another. Later, they saw Lao Liu and Bao Ye, walking with Xiao Yu Ci.

Everyone has seen Lao Liu and knew he was Xiao Yu Ci’s sixth brother, so they turned their attention to Bao Ye.

“Who is this? Why is he follow Xiao Yu Ci?”

“I’ve never seen this person before.”

“He looks really…”

Because Xiao Yu Ci was there, he didn’t dare to say the word disgusting.

Bao Ye and the others walked to the end of the street, and Xiao Yu Ci pointed to the street on the left and said, “Let’s go this way.”

Bao Ye turned to the street on the left with them and saw a few stalls with some herbs. His eyebrows twitched, and he probably guessed the intention of Yu Ci had choosing this way.

“Look, Liu ge, the purple flowers on this stall are so pretty.” Xiao Yu Ci pointed at the flowers on the stand in front of them, glanced at Bao Ye secretly and said, “Liu ge, do you know what kind of flower it is?”

“No, I don’t.”

Lao Liu shook his head: “Do you want to buy it? I’ll go back and get some food for you.”

“No, I’m just curious.”

“We can ask the stall owner.”

Bao Ye felt amused, Lao Liu is really naive, Xiao Yu Ci obviously wants to test whether he really know herbal medicine. If he can’t even distinguish the herbs, then the rumors must be fake.

However, it also proved the innocence of Lao Liu, about this whole scheme.

Lao Liu proceeded to ask the stall owner: “It is called Purple winter flower, and it has the effect of calming the mind when placed in the room.”

“The name of the flower is really nice.” Xiao Yu Ci asked again pretending to be very interested in other kinds of flowers and plants and Lao Liu ran back and forth to ask the stall owner. Yu Ci was so angry that she finally asked Bao Ye directly: “Master Bao, do you know what kind of grass that is?

” Glancing at the herbal medicine on the nearby stall: “Girls better not ask what it is.”

“Why?” Xiao Yu Ci thought if Bao Ye didn’t answer her, it must be because he didn’t know anything, so the rumor is false.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and her enthusiasm for Bao Ye became much less.

Just as Bao Ye was about to answer, his attention was attracted by some noise.

He looked up and saw a male vendor arguing with a girl.

In fact, quarreling is a very common thing, but he couldn’t take his eyes off of them, no, to be precise, he can’t take his eyes off of the girl.

The girl was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt, with a dark complexion, disheveled hair, and the word ‘令’ was branded on the corner of her right eye. She looked like a very ordinary top slave, but a closer look will reveal that the girl had an outstanding personality and temperament.

Bao Ye squinted his eyes, and a flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes. This girl is actually Zisang Yanruo whom he had just met yesterday.

Why is she here? Did she come here alone? Why is she dressed up like this?

Bao Ye walked over with excitement and curiosity, and heard Zisang Yanruo angrily shouting: “this plant is Tianrihong1天日红/ TianaRiHong : literally meaning Heavenly red grass, not Guixinhong2归心红/ GuiXinHong: literally heart returning red grass as you said. If its’s eaten mistakenly people will die.”

The male stall owner said angrily: “I’ve been collecting herbs for many years, who are you to tell me that I’m wrong? Get out of here, and don’t hinder my business, or I’ll beat you up. ”

“I won’t go, your medicine will kill people, I can’t let you sell it.” Zi Sang Yanruo shouted to the people passing by to watch the show: “Listen up, everyone, the Guixinhong sold at this stall is actually Tianrihong, if you eat it, it will kill you in less than a minute…”

People passing by were startled by her words, and those who originally thought of buying medicine at this stall quickly threw away the herbs in their hands.

“You damn girl…” The stall owner rolled up his sleeves angrily as he walked out of the stall, and was grabbed by the wrist just as he was about to use his power.

When he looked back, he was immediately scared by a ‘ghost face’ and took a few steps back: “You, who are you?”

Bao Ye glanced at the medicinal herbs on his stall and said, “She’s right, the one on your stall is indeed Tianrihong.”

The male stall owner was taken aback, and scolded angrily: “Bullshit, I have been picking Guixinhong for so many years, how could I make a mistake, I have never even heard of a herb called Tianrihong!”

He then looked at Bao Ye, then at Zisang Yanruo, and suddenly put on a look of understanding: “Oh, I see, You just want sabotage my business, right?”

Zisang Yanruo said angrily: “You are talking nonsense, I don’t even know who he is.”

Other stall owners also helped the male stall owner speak.

“Old Zhang has been selling herbal medicine here for many years, and I have never heard anyone say that there is a problem with them.”

“He has been selling Guixinhong for many years, it is impossible for him to make a mistake.”

Bao Ye pointed at Tianrihong and said to the male stall owner: “You said you have been selling the herb for many years, you should know that there are no such red lines at the root of Guixinhong.

“So what, it may be a variant, even the rice we eat has one big and one small, let alone medicinal herbs.”

“Test it and you will know if it is Guixinhong.”

“How will you test the herb?”

” Feed it to the worms, if the worms don’t die, it means it’s Guixinhong.”

The male stall owner refused: “Do you know how much grain I can get selling these? It’s worth a big bag of grain, a big bag, but you want me to feed it to the worms, you fucking think I’m a fool, don’t you?”

Zi Sang Yanruo put her satchel on the table: “See if these grains are enough to buy it.”

The male stall owner took a look, contemptuously said: “You can get one leaf with that.”

Bao Ye said: “One leaf is enough.”

The male stall owner poured the rice that Zi Sang Yanruo packed in the bag into his bag, and then tore off a leaf to give it to them.

Bao Ye caught a few bugs nearby and fed them leaves. Within three seconds, the lively and jumping bugs immediately fell to the ground and motionless.

The onlookers were startled: “It’s really dead.”

The male stall owner still didn’t believe that there was something wrong, so he took out an herb they hadn’t touched and fed it to the insects. Immediately afterwards, the insects ended up the same as the insects on the ground.

“Why, how could this happen?” The male stall owner shook his hands and hurriedly threw away the herbs.

Bao Ye hooked the corners of his lips: “They used to be had same, but later they mutated and were divided into two plants. One plant can replenish blood, and the other can will kill you. You haven’t seen Tianrihong before, so of course you can’t tell the difference Between this.”

By the way, they have another name called…”

He and Zisang Yanruo looked at each other, and they said in unison: “Twin Grasses.”

They looked at each other and smiled.

Suddenly someone pointed at Bao Ye and shouted: “Ah——I remembered who he is, he is the younger brother of Boss Jin in Nancheng District, ugly slave.”

The others shocked: “ugly slave?”

“So, the rumor is true, he does know medicine.”

Everyone have heard about ugly slave, the younger brother of Boss Jin of Nancheng District, but every time someone mention him, they would be talking about all the bad things he has done, and Boss Jin’s reputation.

Xiao Yu Ci behind the crowd was more astonished than anyone present. She had just decided that Bao Ye didn’t understand medicine, but in just a few minutes, such a big change happened.

She quickly turned around and asked the stall owner standing beside her the herb about the herb she asked Bao Ye a few minutes ago: “What kind of herbal medicine is this?” The stall owner winked at her with an ambiguous expression: “This It is an aphrodisiac herb, which can keep men strong all night, and if your man eats it, it will make you so happy that you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”

Xiao Yu Ci blushed, and said angrily, “Shameless.”

Bao Ye noticed that the situation is getting more heated, he said to Zisang Yanruo: “Let’s leave first.”

Zisang Yanruo nodded, both of them squeezed out of the crowd, and she asked:

“Do you know a lot about herbal medicine?”

“Not much but more than you”

“how can you possibly know how much I know?”

Bao Ye introduced himself directly: “My name is Bao Ye.”

“…?”

Zisang Yanruo smiled: “What an interesting name!”

Bao Ye asked: “What about you? ”

My name is Zi…” Zisang Yanruo paused, and continued: “My name is Ziruo.”

Bao Ye didn’t care that she gave him a fake name, but was happy: “Then are we acquainted now?”
