Chapter 277 Selling Goods
In particular, there are several beautiful gems inlaid on the scabbard. Although the gems are light blue, it is still very feminine for a man to use such a sword. I didn’t expect that this Taoist’s preference is so special.
Ning Ji smiled and put the sword back into the scabbard. "This sword is lighter and more suitable for you."
He wiped the sword and handed it to her.
Si He took the sword and weighed it. It was just the right weight. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, I like it."
"There should be some good stuff ahead, let's go check it out."
Hearing him say this, her eyes lit up, "Okay!"
After a while, the two walked to another corpse and picked up a spiritual weapon that looked like a bronze mirror. It was the size of a palm and was small and beautiful.
He collected the things, but when he saw the bulging purse tied around the body's waist, he took it as well.
Afterwards, they collected two good quality spiritual weapons and several money bags from the two corpses. If Ning Ji had not caught them off guard before, it would have taken some effort to deal with the Taoist priests holding these spiritual weapons.
Although the harvest was good this time, Ning Ji was also affected by the backlash of the evil spirit, so it can't be said that he got an advantage.
……
Outside the deserted village, a group of people from the Cheetah Gang watched the fog filling the village, but there was no movement at all. They felt a little worried, especially for the few bandits who had seen fog attacking people before. The last group of people who went in were also like this before the incident, very quiet.
They speculated that the Taoist priests who went in were in danger, but they were also glad that they didn't follow them in, otherwise...
A group of people waited anxiously outside the deserted village until it got dark, but still no one came out, and they couldn't help but feel depressed.
Finally, the leader of the Cheetah Gang ordered to retreat dozens of meters and stare at this strange and deserted village from afar. If there was still no result by tomorrow, then forget it. There was no need to lose their lives for it.
If even the Taoist priests with extraordinary means are helpless, they will be committing suicide if they go.
None of the subordinates had any objections. To be honest, they really didn't want to get involved when encountering such a weird thing.
Time passed, and the people outside the village waited in agony that night. Until the next morning, no one came out of the deserted village. This situation almost confirmed that the people who had entered before were in great danger.
Helplessly, the Cheetah Gang leader finally left with his men, giving up on dealing with the creatures in the deserted village. However, he still left a few of his men behind to keep an eye on the goings-on from afar.
The few people who were left behind had bitter expressions on their faces and said nothing. After they left, they retreated a little further and stared from afar, but did not dare to get closer. After all, this deserted village was too weird and they were afraid of being haunted by "dirty things".
They guarded the village for another day, but there was no movement at all.
At night, it was another quiet night. When they went to relieve themselves, they didn't notice a figure quietly coming nearby.
After a while, several people were attacked and killed one after another.
The one who killed them was Liu Mao.
Ning Ji had asked him to deal with the spies outside the village. He had waited all day but hadn't found a suitable opportunity, so he could only attack them one by one at night. After all, he didn't have Ning Ji's skills. He couldn't handle three people on his own, so he had to attack by surprise.
Liu Mao breathed a sigh of relief after killing the three people who were guarding him, and then hurriedly searched their bodies for valuables. Unfortunately, they were all penniless and had little money on them, which made him very disappointed.
After dealing with the people, Liu Mao rode a few horses and galloped towards the path outside the deserted village under the cover of night.
Because Ning Ji and the other two were leaving tomorrow, he had to quickly deal with some of the horses in the village. It would be better to sell them for some money than to let others get a bargain.
As for ways to sell things, he had plenty of them. After all, he used to be a bandit in this area. Sometimes when he couldn't use the things he robbed, he would resell them for money.
However, since there were too many horses, he couldn't lead them all by himself and they were too conspicuous, so he could only bring people to trade.
An hour later, Liu Mao and his group returned to the deserted village.
These are merchants in the black market, who are no less powerful than ordinary bandits. They specialize in black market transactions, and do not ask where the goods come from. They just exchange money for goods. They are the favorite sales channels of the bandits, but the price they purchase is a bit lower.
Normally, they seldom come to collect goods unless the quantity is large and they pay an additional fee. Liu Mao said he was selling a batch of horses, so they had to follow reluctantly.
When they arrived at this deserted village, they were a little surprised. After all, they had heard about the strange things happening in this deserted village. It was said that the Cheetah Gang suffered a great loss and dozens of people died!
Originally they were a little curious and wanted someone to find out the situation, but they didn't expect that the transaction tonight would take place here!
When they arrived outside the deserted village, the group hesitated and did not dare to follow Liu Mao into the village rashly. They just asked him to lead the horse out.
Liu Mao probably guessed their concerns, so he went into the village alone and led the horse out.
There were not many horses, only more than ten. Unfortunately, many of the horses of the second group of people were scared away. He had to work hard to find some horses in the nearby mountains and forests and kept them all in a large courtyard on the edge of the village.
Seeing Liu Mao leading the horses out one after another, the people outside the village had complicated expressions. Sure enough, they were all horses from the Cheetah Gang!
Moreover, the Cheetah Gang’s horses all have markings, making them easy to identify.
They were now curious about who was in the village and who could have caused such a great loss to the notorious Cheetah Gang!
"Little brother, what's the name of your boss? Where did you work before?"
The head receiver looked at Liu Mao curiously, and so did the others.
Liu Mao smiled innocently, "Haha, I just want to make a living and stay here temporarily."
Seeing that he was so tight-lipped, they stopped asking questions and began to estimate the value of the goods, and then reported a number to Liu Mao.
Although the offer they gave was a bit low, Liu Mao still agreed readily.
After selling the horses, Liu Mao went back into the village and took out a pile of swords he had collected, selling them all at a low price. These were all looted from the corpses of the bandits. No matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat, so he sold as much as he could.
They had some guesses about the original transaction involving more than ten horses, but when they saw these dozens of swords, they were certain that this was the approximate death toll of the Cheetah Gang. It seemed that the rumors were true, and dozens of people really died!
They exchanged glances secretly, then looked at the quiet deserted village not far away, and suddenly felt that this place was creepy.
In fact, they had also heard some rumors that this place was haunted, that the evil spirits here were very powerful, and that all the members of the Cheetah Gang had died at the hands of the evil spirits.
