Chapter 91 Disbelief
Xia's father, who considered himself a father, demanded that he project a composed image, but when Xia Mo suggested taking him to Anning Prefecture, he was still tempted.
Mr. Xia looked at Mrs. Xia and asked hesitantly, "Is it okay?"
Seeing Xia's father acting so childlike, Xia's mother was momentarily stunned. Immediately, her maternal love overflowed, and she nodded, "Go ahead."
That day, 15 minutes later—
Outside the city of Anning Prefecture—
Xia Mo and her father did not stop at the main gate outside Anning Prefecture, but stopped some distance away by the city wall where there were few people.
Xia's father couldn't help but look up at the thick city wall, which was at least two zhang high, and was so captivated by it that he lost himself in thought.
This was the first time Xia's father had ventured outside of Anping County, and he was deeply impressed. He had thought that Anping County's city walls, at ten feet high, were already quite tall, but now…
"Father, we need to see the documents to enter the city. The officials at the city gate have a good memory. If we come and go too often, we might expose our problems. We need to use a special method to enter the city." Xia Mo hugged her father's waist again. After confirming that there were no patrolling soldiers guarding the city walls, she jumped up.
Xia's father covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from screaming.
Xia Mo and her father flew up and landed on the high city wall, then landed again and entered Anning Prefecture.
Even at the end of summer, she still covered her face with a face towel and used her thick bangs to cover her eyebrows and half of her eyes.
"Let's go," Xia Mo said, leading the way and urging her father to get moving.
Xia's father was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, curious about everything, wandering around the streets of Anning Prefecture.
In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant facing the street, Jiang Feng, who was in the prefecture city on business, saw Xia's father. He couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, then rub them until they were red. He opened his eyes again to confirm, and then stared in astonishment and disbelief as Xia Mo looked over.
Jiang Feng was so frightened that he immediately shrank back into the private room and hid behind the wall by the window.
He was absolutely certain that before he came to the prefectural city, Xia's father and the others were in Anjia Village. He had only been in the prefectural city for a short time when he saw Xia's father and Xia Mo!
This is this...
Jiang Feng felt as if a thunderclap had suddenly exploded in his mind; he was still dizzy and hadn't fully processed what had happened.
Jiang Feng felt that he had to tell Huangfu Qian about this!
Xia Mo glanced at Jiang Feng, raised an eyebrow, and continued strolling beside Xia's father.
Xia's father couldn't resist buying some jewelry that Xia's mother and Xia Mo wore, books that Xia's eldest and second eldest brothers could use, and a small knife for Xia's third eldest brother.
Xia Mo, without anyone seeing, took these things into her soul space and took them away in front of Xia's father.
Xia's father was shocked once again.
After learning that Xia Mo had a space that could carry a lot of things, and that he had money, Xia's father started a "buy, buy, buy" spree.
The fabric in the prefectural city is cheaper than in their Anping county, so if we buy a few more bolts, we can make more clothes for our large family...
Books are cheaper in the city than in the countryside, and I can take them with me, so I should buy more...
Buy, buy, buy...
Before he knew it, Xia's father had spent ten taels of silver.
Realizing he couldn't buy any more, Mr. Xia quickly stopped.
Xia Mo's face-covering appearance still attracted the attention of those looking for her.
Not far away, two people peeked at Xia Mo.
"Is that the girl who went to the pharmacy to sell medicinal herbs before?"
"Is that girl the person Dr. Kobayashi is looking for?"
"..."
Although neither of the two people looking for Xia Mo was sure if the person they were looking for was Xia Mo, they still decided to leave one of them to follow Xia Mo from a distance.
Xia's father genuinely didn't notice anyone secretly following them, while Xia Mo completely ignored the person as if no one else was around.
She discovered two people following her and overheard their conversation. She used her divine sense to search for Doctor Xiaolin at the pharmacy.
Dr. Kobayashi's room was still packed with young women and wives who wanted to get closer to him.
Doctor Zheng sighed as he looked at the single thousand-year-old ginseng, muttering to himself, "I've sent people to search the nearby mountains and forests, but we still haven't found the ginseng... I wonder if we'll ever find that girl..."
After gathering all the information, Xia Mo withdrew her divine sense.
She effortlessly spread her divine sense within a 200-meter radius around her.
Xia's father urged anxiously, "Nannan, let's go back quickly."
Xia Mo was surprised. Had her father also discovered that someone was secretly following them?!
"Father, what's wrong?" Xia Mo asked.
Xia's father wanted to cry and said, "I couldn't help myself and spent ten taels. I'm afraid if I stay in the city any longer, I'll have to spend all twenty taels I brought."
Back when Xia's mother gave Xia's father twenty taels, he didn't think much of it. He was a thrifty person, how could he possibly spend the money? At most, he would just follow his daughter around the city.
The truth is... he really couldn't resist and spent ten taels!
"Ah, oh, okay," Xia Mo thought to herself, wanting to laugh after hearing her father's words. She flipped her hand and fifty taels appeared in her hand, handing it to her father and saying, "Keep buying."
Xia's father was surprised to see that Xia Mo could take out fifty taels of silver so easily, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask any more questions.
“No, money shouldn’t be used like this,” Xia’s father shook his head, tugging at Xia Mo’s clothes and urging her to leave quickly.
Smiling faces at the end of summer.
First, they found a quiet alleyway where few people were, while the people following behind them hid behind a corner of the alleyway to avoid being discovered.
Xia Mo lifted Xia's father up and moved quickly. By the time the people following them realized something was wrong and rushed into the alley, Xia Mo and Xia's father were nowhere to be seen!
Those who were following them didn't believe in superstition and went through the only exit. Once outside, they found themselves surrounded by people and couldn't see Xia's father or Xia Mo at all.
The person following them simply asked the passerby, "Have you seen a girl wearing a face mask with a man who looks to be in his thirties?"
"Ah, yes, I think I saw it, heading in that direction."
"Thanks……"
Half an hour later—
The follower met up with the messenger.
The messenger brought Dr. Kobayashi and Pharmacist Zheng.
The person who had been following said sadly, "I lost them. In just a moment, they disappeared... The alleyway only had such a small exit... and they just vanished..."
Dr. Lin and Pharmacist Zheng stared blankly.
Dr. Kobayashi looked dazed and muttered, "Could it be that I really have no more fate with her?!"
When Dr. Kobayashi said these words, he closed his eyes in pain, and his eyes reddened.
Fifteen minutes later—
Anping County, Anjia Village, Xiajia Village
The Xia family members all stayed in the main room.
At the end of summer, Xia took out the cloth and books he had bought in the soul space and piled them in a corner of the main room. Xia's mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were still somewhat dazed.
If they remembered the time correctly, it should have been less than an hour since my younger sister took my father out! How come they've already made a round trip to the manor?!
That's amazing.
Hehe, she knew that with her abilities on display today, her family would feel more at ease about her going out.
