Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 33 0 Yuan Purchase

Originally, none of the eight bamboo houses were accessible, but now it looks like the door to the Hundred Herbs Pavilion has been opened.

Su Yue carried the bowl to the door, first reaching in with one hand to test if she could really get in.

Wow! It really went in; my hand didn't even bounce out.

Su Yue happily shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into her bowl, then casually placed the bowl at the doorway, wiped her mouth, and went inside.

Su Yue walked into the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, where there were many rows of shelves filled with various jars and books with labels on them.

She excitedly opened the jars and found them filled with seeds; there were almost forty or fifty rows of these jars.

The remaining seven or eight rows are filled with books.

Su Yue picked up a tattered old book from the bookshelf, opened it, and saw that each page recorded a plant, with its name and uses listed on the next page.

After flipping through several pages, I felt the plants in the book looked familiar. I quickly tucked the ancient book into my pocket and picked up another book from the table to compare it to the bamboo house that had appeared at the beginning. There were still similarities. I ran outside to the patch of flowers and grass.

Compared to the book, some of them are exactly the same as described in the book.

Su Yue still couldn't recognize all the characters on it, since she had never studied ancient writing before and had only learned them from Su Dabao after arriving here.

However, some of the characters in this book are different from those of this dynasty, but fortunately, most of them are still legible.

Put the book in your crossbody bag and take it with you when you're bored lying on the cart; it'll help you pass the time.

Having been inside for quite some time, Su Yue was worried that someone might enter the room. If they found the person missing, it wouldn't be easy to go out and run errands at night. So, she packed her things and left the space with her basket.

I probably smelled bad when I came in, so I didn't notice the musty smell in the room.

As soon as she came out of the space, Su Yue almost threw up the braised pork she had just eaten.

I opened the window and took a while to catch my breath before I felt better.

Su Yue opened the door, looked around, and then went downstairs to the lobby.

At this time, the guests in the inn were all resting in their rooms, with only a few tables occupied by one or two people eating flatbread, drinking tea, and chatting.

The shopkeeper was still dozing off behind the counter, while the waiter waited to serve the customers.

Hearing the commotion, the waiter waved the rag in his hand and came over to greet Su Yue.

"Sir, you've had a good rest. Come, come, sit here. Would you like some flatbread?"

"Two please, and a pot of tea too!" Su Yue had just eaten in the space and wasn't hungry, but she still ordered two just to make an appearance.

Su Yue accepted the cakes and tea from the waiter and thanked him.

He took a piece of bread, broke it into small pieces with his hands, and ate it while looking outside and listening to the conversations of the other tables.

She had just eaten a piece of bread when she realized something was wrong; the bread had been drugged. Luckily, she had only eaten a small piece.

The people in this inn are really bold; they dare to openly drug their guests.

This place is probably a rip-off!

Su Yue pretended to finish the remaining pancake without changing her expression, but actually put it into her spatial storage the moment she put it in her mouth.

After waiting for a while, I felt that the medicine was about to take effect.

She stood up unsteadily, holding her head with one hand, and muttered softly, "Oh dear! I feel a little dizzy. I think I'll go back to my room and take a nap!"

After saying that, he helped himself upstairs. When he was almost upstairs, he caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper, who had been dozing off, opening his eyes.

Su Yue thought to herself that the shopkeeper really wanted to bewitch her. She had noticed that the shopkeeper was very interested in the horse she had brought when she first came in, but she didn't expect him to make a move so quickly.

After entering the room, Su Yue pulled the blanket up and hid herself, waiting for someone to come.

This person really didn't disappoint Su Yue; they took action before it even got dark.

Someone inserted a tube from the outside, and then white smoke began to rise.

Su Yue, who had been hiding, immediately took a damp cloth from her spatial storage and covered her mouth.

After waiting a while, someone used a dagger to pry open the door, and then lunged at the bed.

Before the person could react, Su Yue took out a large iron spoon from her spatial storage and slammed it onto the bed, causing him to thrash around twice before becoming unresponsive.

Su Yue turned the person over and saw that it was the inn's waiter.

This is truly a rip-off; they started robbing us before it even got dark.

Su Yue closed the door again, put the waiter on the bed and covered him with a blanket, then continued to wait in the room to see what other people the innkeeper would send.

Before an incense stick's time had even passed, the door was pushed open from the outside again.

The newcomer, just like the waiter, pounced on the bed as soon as he entered, and Su Yue used the same method to knock him down.

Turn the person over, and lo and behold, it's the shopkeeper!

Is it possible that there are only two people in an inn, and even the innkeeper personally participated in the theft and murder?

Su Yue didn't dare to be careless and stayed in the room until it was slightly dark, but no one came again. She knew she hadn't guessed wrong; there were only two inns in this place.

They're pretty audacious, running a shady business with just two people. I wonder what kind of background this shopkeeper has in Qing Shi Town.

I was planning to rest at the inn for a couple more days, but now I have to leave tomorrow. If the person behind the innkeeper finds out that I killed his men, it will be difficult for me to leave the town.

Who cares who's behind them? How dare they rob me, their great-aunt? They'll regret it!

Su Yue went directly to the backyard of the inn and stored her horses in her spatial storage.

He searched the inn again and put everything into his spatial storage.

Even the innkeeper's reclining chair was taken away.

The front room has tables and chairs for entertaining guests, while the back room has large pots, steamers, large vats filled with water, large and small bowls, plates and spoons, wooden buckets and basins, firewood and charcoal.

Finally, they found the innkeeper's house, and even after digging up the ground three feet deep, they still couldn't find much of value.

Something's not right. This shopkeeper might have done this before, but there's nothing of value in his room. Even if he handed it over to his superiors, he couldn't have given it all away; he must have kept some for himself.

Su Yue released her mental energy to investigate. This was something she had only recently discovered. Mental energy could not only be used within the space, but it could also be released outwards. Anything that her mental energy could touch could be stored in the space without having to touch it with her hands.

However, his mental energy can only be released to a little over two meters.

But that was enough; Su Yue had already located the inn's cellar using her mental power.

The inn wasn't big, and there were two cellars, one large and one small.

Su Yue smiled; she had found it.

This shopkeeper is quite cunning; he hides the valuables in very discreet places.

The large cellar was used to store food, drinks and other necessities for the inn.

The small cellar contained more than a dozen mahogany chests.

Su Yue stood on the small cellar and used her mental power to store the mahogany box inside into her spatial storage.

They arrived at a large cellar, which was quite large, and it was impossible to store all the items inside into their spatial storage using their mental power.

Su Yue found the entrance to the cellar, put the stone table on top into her spatial storage, and then the iron plate was exposed.

Once inside, Su Yue started her zero-yuan purchase.

Rice, received.

Flour, collect.

The wine jar, put it away.

Salted meat and salted fish, collect.

Harvest the dried mushrooms.

……

All of these are mine; today was truly another worthwhile day!
