Tang Li shook her head. “No.” She couldn’t tell if there was any trouble.

This town was bigger and more prosperous than the one they had stayed in at the border before. On both sides of the town were two-story shops, and there was more than one street.

Qi Yihan took out his phone and searched for the house his employee rented. He pointed at one of the streets. “This way.”

The two of them walked over.

After they walked in, the passersby sized them up. After walking for a while, someone suddenly stopped them.

“You two, are you here for a vacation? Do you want to come in and take a look? I have ginseng, ganoderma, antler… They are all from the mountains.”

The two of them stopped and looked at the fat middle-aged woman who was standing by a store and looking at them.

The middle-aged fat woman was also wearing mourning clothes. She leaned against the door and ate sunflower seeds.

Tang Li and Qi Yihan wanted to find someone from their town to ask about the situation here, so they went in.

Only then did the middle-aged fat woman put the unfinished seeds in her pocket and greeted them enthusiastically.

“Please come in.”

The shops near here were basically all selling mountain goods. After entering, there was a large counter in the middle with bamboo strips. On it were various dried goods from the mountain. On both sides were a few shelves, and on the shelves were ginseng, ganoderma, and mushrooms.

The fat woman brought the two of them to the innermost row of shelves and started to tell them how good those things were.

However, she did not know that the man standing in front of her had been living in luxury since he was young. He had seen all kinds of good things, and he could tell at a glance how good these things were.

Tang Li was someone who did not care about these things.

When the woman was exhausted from talking, Tang Li suddenly asked, “Boss, did someone die in the village? We’re planning to stay here for a day. I wonder if there are any taboos.”

The fat woman: “Well…”

Neither of them bought anything from my family, so I won’t tell them, she thought to herself.

Qi Yihan pointed at a ginseng priced at 18888 yuan. “I want this ginseng.”

“Hey! Sir, you have good taste. This ginseng is an authentic hundred-year-old mountain ginseng. It can only be chanced upon by luck. You definitely won’t regret buying it.”

The fat woman immediately smiled and quickly took the wrapped ginseng to the cashier. Then, she came back and asked, “I wonder what else the two guests are interested in. I can show you.”

The fat women never hesitated to rip off visitors who looked rich.

“Boss, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Tang Li looked unhappy and said to Qi Yihan, “Hubby, why don’t we shop in another shop? We need to find someone to ask about the taboos in this town. If we offend someone, we won’t be able to leave this place.”

“Oh! Ask me, I’ll tell you what you want to know. Indeed, some people died in our town, an old man and the granddaughter of the head of the clan leader.”

“I see that all of you are wearing mourning clothes. Is it because of that old man?”

“No, that little girl.”

Tang Li fell silent.

Qi Yihan asked, “Is that kid very senior?”

“Oh, right. I didn’t expect you to know this. The child who died is considered a senior in our town. As long as a senior dies in our town, everyone has to wear mourning clothes.”

“In terms of taboos, the coffins of the dead people in our town are all stored at the ancestral hall. Don’t go anywhere near that place.”

“Also, it’s best if you guys don’t go on the streets tonight. The Zhang family invited a master over to perform a ritual for the kid. They asked everyone to stay at home at night and not go out.”

Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li.

Tang Li gave him a look that said she would talk to him later. Then, the two of them bought some more things and left.

The fat woman sent them out of the store. “Hope to see you two again in the near future.”

Then, she turned around and smiled triumphantly..

Tang Li and Qi Yihan continued walking forward. After walking for a while, they arrived at the residential area.

The houses here were not as well-designed as the main street. There were all kinds of houses with one, two, and three floors. The most unique thing was that most of them were wooden houses.

The path was paved with stones. From time to time, there were date trees or apple trees on both sides. There were old people sitting on the threshold smoking, and there were also children chasing and playing. If one ignored the fact that everyone was wearing mourning clothes, this environment would give people a sense of peace.

When they walked over, the kids immediately stopped and looked at them curiously.

The two of them walked for a while before finding the house that Qi Yihan rented. It was also a wooden house. Once they entered the door, they saw a hall and a two-story building.

There were some tools for entering the mountain. It looked like someone had lived there before.

Qi Yihan told Tang Li, “Someone lives in this house, but we said we wanted to rent it, so they moved to the mountain. Their ginseng farm is over there.”

Hearing that, Tang Li looked at the ginseng in Qi Yihan’s hand and said with sparkling eyes, “Was the ginseng you bought artificial?”

“It’s alright.” President Qi had a lot of money. Ten thousand yuan was nothing to him. “Just treat it as buying some information.”

“…”

Tang Li felt that it was necessary to talk to him about money. “Even if you’re rich, It’s still your hard-earned money. Don’t get fooled by people.”

Qi Yihan looked at her, amused. He led her to the table and took out the ginseng for her to see.

Tang Li picked up the ginseng and looked at it for a while. She found that it was not artificially cultivated, but it was not the hundred-year-old ginseng that the lady claimed it to be either.

“The Qi family has shops that specialize in purchasing all kinds of delicacies here. I’ll get them to teach the fat woman a lesson.”

“…”

Well, her husband was indeed a money-making machine. It turned out that he had planned everything.

Then, the two of them went to wash up and change their clothes.

For almost half a month, Qi Yihan didn’t use his phone or laptop.

In the afternoon, he took out his laptop.

At the same time, he apologized to Tang Li, “There are a few major international projects that I have to handle personally. You can spend this afternoon on your own. I’ll go with you to see if there’s a night market here tonight.”

Hearing that, Tang Li smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “Didn’t you remember the old woman said we can’t go out at night? I’ll go out and buy some vegetables for you to cook.”

Qi Yihan agreed. “Sure.”
