Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 113 A Martial Arts Transmigration Story (4)

Gu Shijiu was unusually clever for once: "You've got treasures in this cabinet?"

"Absolutely not." Xin Wuji's voice became much louder.

“That’s a setup.” Gu Shijiu held the rolled-edge knife in her hand and cleaved open the cabinet with one stroke.

A series of... bamboo slips rolled out from inside?

Xin Wuji: My life is over. The medical books passed down through generations of my Xin family are priceless.

Today I've fallen into the hands of thieves, I've failed my ancestors...

Gu Shijiu flipped through the books for a long time, but they were nothing more than books; she didn't care for them.

There's not even a piece of gold in this Hundred Herbs Garden; it's incredibly poor.

Xin Wuji didn't expect that Gu Shijiu wouldn't even open these medical books and would turn around and leave.

Thank goodness, he thought to himself, but then he suddenly felt a little down.

This ignorant woman doesn't even glance at these medical books; she's practically insulting the Xin family.

Gu Shijiu was unaware of the many thoughts swirling in Xin Wuji's mind. She strolled around the garden, picking up whatever caught her eye.

until--

"Huff, huff, junior sister, I really can't lift it anymore." Lin Wei was panting heavily, almost sticking out his tongue.

The main reason was that Gu Shijiu brought a piece of refined iron that was much heavier than the knife passed down by Lin Zhentian, saying that he wanted to forge a new knife for him.

This piece of refined iron was quite large and heavy; Lin Wei almost bent over from the weight of it as he carried it on his back.

Gu Shijiu weighed the package in his hand: "Senior brother needs to practice some more."

Seeing that Lin Wei couldn't carry all these things, she then took the carriage from the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Now that it can hold even more things, Gu Shijiu plucked through the Hundred Herbs Garden again.

As she left, she looked at the empty Hundred Herbs Garden and felt much better.

Xin Wuji looked at the barren mountain gate and felt like crying but had no tears.

As for the disciples, they didn't even dare to leave their rooms, and many of them were still injured.

Seeing that he had received almost all the compensation, Gu Shijiu finally waved to the person behind him with a flourish: "Old Xin, see you again in the martial world."

Xin Wuji: Please don't.

After descending the mountain, Gu Shijiu encountered many people, all of whom were seeking medical treatment.

It's said that for some reason, everyone at Baicao Garden has been staying closed up lately.

These people have no choice but to wait here.

Gu Shijiu curled her lips after hearing this. These doctors are too lazy. No wonder they don't have anything good.

She couldn't compare to the experts she had seen who could see fifty patients in a morning.

She didn't know that the most valuable thing in the Hundred Herbs Garden was actually those medical books.

Secondly, there are rare and exotic treasures everywhere.

Most of those who come to the Hundred Herbs Garden for treatment suffer from difficult and complicated diseases. These arrogant and self-proclaimed divine doctors have no interest in ordinary gold and silver.

Patients can't get into the herb garden unless they bring out some real treasures.

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu didn't recognize any of them; she only took a lot of the glittering, colorful ornaments she liked.

They are now haphazardly piled up in a corner of the carriage.

After descending the mountain, Gu Shijiu hired a driver who knew the way to help drive the carriage.

Lin Wei had never used such an expensive item as a carriage before and didn't know where to begin.

On the way back to Thunder Shadow Manor, many ill-intentioned people tried to rob them, but they couldn't even beat Lin Wei.

Gu Shijiu originally wanted to collect the compensation, but she didn't expect these people to be not only poor but also thin, so she decided against it.

She found it strange: "Aren't there sects managing each piece of land? How come it's still so chaotic?"

Having witnessed the two men's personalities along the way, the coachman dared to speak the truth: "These sects, how could they possibly care about the lives of ordinary people?"

As long as taxes can be collected, that's fine.

Some good families, after suffering disaster, were forced to become robbers and bandits.

Over time, they will be recruited by a sect, at least they will have something to eat.

These people have committed many evil deeds, have no scruples about anything, and often oppress the people.

The more martial arts practitioners there are, the harder life becomes for ordinary people.

People who can't make ends meet simply seek refuge with sects, and the world just gets more and more chaotic.

"Isn't the imperial court in charge?" Gu Shijiu pondered while munching on roast duck. It was a bit like the last small world.

The coachman sighed: "The imperial court is also controlled by various major factions."

Gu Shijiu didn't quite understand, but just thought she was listening to a story.

Seeing her enthusiastic face, the driver swallowed his words and began to tell her other stories.

"Hey, you've been to so many places, have you ever heard of someone named Shi Qi?"

Gu Shijiu described Shi Qi's appearance to the coachman.

The coachman shook his head: "Judging from your description, you should be a young master from a prominent family, but I have never heard of you before."

Gu Shijiu didn't take it to heart; he was probably stuck somewhere again.

If she was unlucky, then Qi was even more unlucky than her.

At least she had some screen time, while Shi Qi was always just a background character.

The driver knew the way well and smoothly took Gu Shijiu and Lin Wei to the streets near Lei Ying Manor.

Gu Shijiu was a little reluctant to part with such a reliable driver: "I'm going to travel the world in the future, do you want to come with me?"

She herself doesn't know the way, and this cheap senior brother seems to have an even worse sense of direction than her.

The driver, knowing her skills, nodded in agreement.

Gu Shijiu discussed wages with him: "Food and lodging included, two sets of clothes per season, I'll give you one hundred coins per month, is that okay?"

Coachman: ...The mistress of Thunder Shadow Manor, who carries a fortune when she goes out, is so stingy.

"You don't need to pay me wages, but if I'm ever in danger, please save me."

This is the real reason why the coachman was willing to follow Gu Shijiu.

Gu Shijiu patted his chest loudly: "Don't worry, if you work for me, of course I'll ensure your safety."

"But the wages still need to be paid, so fifty coins it is."

I've never heard of employees who don't want wages, so Gu Shijiu took the opportunity to cut the driver's wages in half.

Lin Wei felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

The driver didn't object anymore, and the matter was settled.

After signing the employment contract, the driver was temporarily considered Gu Shijiu's employee.

After walking for another fifteen minutes, the three arrived at the gate of Thunder Shadow Manor.

Just as the driver was about to knock on the door, Gu Shijiu jumped off the carriage and banged on the door loudly.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the entrance of Thunder Shadow Manor?" A shout came from behind the door.

Guests who wish to visit should first send a visiting card and then come to the host's house after receiving an invitation.

What is this kind of rude knocking on the door? Isn't it just being an unwelcome guest?

Gu Shijiu said, "You're being unreasonable. Isn't this my home? How can it be considered causing trouble when I'm back in my own home?"

Someone recognized the voice and carefully opened the door a crack.

"Is it Madam?" The person on the other end wasn't surprised; instead, they were terrified. "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Everyone knows that the lady was killed on the spot by the master's blow.

That is, her senior brother, who wasn't very bright, was going to take her to the Hundred Herbs Garden.

"What's wrong with you? Not only are you unreasonable, but you're also impolite." Gu Shijiu was so angry that her eyebrows shot up.
