The Charming Ghost Doctor novel Chapter 17

: Uncle, Do These Things Eat People?

The young girls teeth were tightly clenched as she nodded: As long as you let me go, I will not make any moves against you.

After hearing that, Feng Jiu signalled the for the young man to bring the gold ingots over.

The young man walked over, gave the young girl a glance, and handed the gold ingots in his hands to Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu received it and immediately shoved it into her robes before moving the dagger away and tossing it towards the young man.

The young man stepped slightly back to catch the dagger and at the same time, the young girl turned back and raised a leg to kick out at Feng Jiu. You damned little ruffian! You dare touch me!

Feng Jiu had not let her guard down. After receiving the gold ingots, she had immediately retreated quickly and the young girls kick had been in vain.

The young girl wanted to rush forward but at that moment, the middle aged mans deep voice boomed out: Ying Rou, come back.

Second Uncle! The young girl stamped her feet, unwilling to let the matter end just like that. But when she saw her Second Uncles gaze in warning, and her elder brothers signal with his eyes, she bit down on her lip and slunk her way back to the group.

On the other side, Feng Jiu was finding the six gold ingots in her chest rather heavy and afraid that they would crush the magical herbs kept in the same location, she took the gold out and showed them off to Ling Mo Han saying: Uncle! See how much money I have! What do you say you let me treat you to some wine later?

Ling Mo Han cast a glance at her and immediately open up his stride to walk away while Feng Jiu quickly followed hollering: Hey Uncle! Go a little slower wont you! ?

Watching as the two people leave one behind the other, the young mans eyes suddenly gave a flash filled with murder and he asked: Second Uncle, why do we not kill that brat?

..

Up front, Ling Mo Han who had not gone much further suddenly stopped in his tracks, the gaze in his set of deep eyes turned sharp and cold as he scanned the surroundings cautiously.

Feng Jiu saw him stop and took the chance to remove the outer coat on her, quickly twisting it up into a simple makeshift bundle before taking out the herbs she had picked along the way all this time from inside her robes to put them in. Next, she then retrieved the gold ingots and stuffed them in after that, before finally tying the bundle sack tightly across her body.

Although the clothes she was wearing were the tattered clothes of a beggar, she had worn several layers of them, hence, removing a piece or two of them did not matter much to her.

But, when she finished tying up the bundle and lifted her head, she was suddenly startled. From in between the trees surrounding them, she saw several sharp fanged unidentifiable bestial forms, their bodies big as oxen, stepping out warily, and she blinked her eyes as she asked: Uncle, do these things eat people?
