Chapter 206: In the end, I can only become a refugee beggar
Give me a reason to buy you? Mo Rao said, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground.
The woman knocked her head heavily on the ground, then said in a firm tone, "If you can save my sister and me from suffering today, I will follow you for the rest of my life, life or death. As for the money you spent on buying us sisters today, I will earn it back a hundredfold in the future."
This woman didn't cry and beg him to buy her, which actually earned her some points in Mo Rao's eyes.
"Tell me how you can earn a hundred or a thousand times more money for me?" Mo Rao asked with great interest.
The woman raised her head and said with a firm gaze, "Not only are my hands good at embroidery, they can also make exquisite pastries and do the math. If you're concerned about my appearance, I can also disfigure myself and never put you in any difficult position."
Looking at the determined woman in front of him, Mo Rao decided to buy her. A woman who knows how to reflect her own value is quite smart.
There's no need to destroy your appearance. I hope your value is worth the huge amount of money I paid for you. And if one day you dare to betray me, I will make you regret coming into this world.
I can tolerate your worthlessness, but I cannot tolerate betrayal, you understand.
The woman on the ground understood as soon as she heard that the girl in front of her was willing to buy both of her sisters, so she immediately vowed to be loyal to the girl for the rest of her life.
"What's your name?" Mo Rao asked.
The woman on the ground said calmly, "My maidservant's name is Meihua, and my sister is Lanhua."
In the end, Mo Rao bought two girls, three guards, and a half-dead boy.
The man took out an abacus and said: Two girls are one hundred and seventy taels, three strong men are ninety taels, and this man is ten taels from you, a total of two hundred and seventy taels.
Big brother, what’s the lowest price you can offer? I really want to make this deal with you, Mo Rao bargained.
The big man gritted his teeth and said: I will give you at least 5 taels less, no less.
Mo Rao said firmly, "Two hundred and sixty taels. If Big Brother agrees to hand over the money and the person, then the deal is done."
Seeing that the girl in front of him refused to give in, the man had no choice but to compromise. After all, the girl had bought six people at once, and the boss who hired her naturally didn't want anyone to run away.
After the two sides reached an agreement, the big man immediately sent someone to the government office to handle the paperwork.
Mo Rao told Xiao Si, the errand boy, her personal information and told her that she didn't need to worry about anything else, as Twelve would take care of it.
Mo Rao glanced at the half-dead Du Wenbo and said, "Brother, he's been injured so badly, we need to get a doctor to take a look. Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
Don't worry, young lady. I'll get a doctor right away. The big man said with a smile.
At this moment, Du Wenbo was so weak that he couldn't even finish a complete sentence.
When the girl paid money to buy him, there was a light in his eyes, the light of hope.
Finally, he didn't have to die here. When he came through, this body was already like this, half-dead. He wanted to find a way to survive, but it was a luxury.
He was like a dead dog, being dragged around by these people. He had been here for over a month, and forget about making a living. A slave who could barely stand up and speak, how could he escape or make a living? The only way waiting for him was death.
He was originally a researcher in the year 2060. However, due to an accident during a research and development, he clearly felt that his past self had died, his body was cremated, and his soul had no ghost to guide him to reincarnate. Thus, he became a lonely ghost.
With nowhere to go, I can only sleep beside my own tombstone. As time passes, I feel like a forgotten person. My soul, without a new life, will slowly disappear from this world.
Just when his soul fell into a long sleep and he thought he would never feel anything again, he traveled through time and space. When he woke up, he found himself in an unknown dynasty.
Come if you want, but at least give me the identity of a good citizen! I came here as a lowly person, and I'm dying. It's really killing me. Looking back on my previous life, all I knew was research and development, research and development, and more research and development.
He is a professor at a young age and has been a child prodigy since childhood. He has extraordinary talent in scientific research. Geniuses like him are also key talents trained by the country. With the support of the country, he can be said to be oblivious to the outside world and devotes himself to research and development.
Now in this barren era, the poverty is really terrible. Even if he wants to go back to his old job, it will be difficult. A good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how capable he is, he cannot create anything out of thin air.
The appearance of this girl was like the light in his life. After hearing the saying that money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done, he may have wanted to leave this hellish place too much. He felt that she was not from this era, so he asked Mo Rao for help. It was his own coincidence that saved him.
But he didn't know that this person was not from this era, but was more advanced than his era.
It was simply because the era in which Mo Rao existed was already the end of the world, and all developments had almost reached their peak.
The doctor came over and took the pulse of Du Wenbo who was lying on the ground.
This person has been malnourished for a long time, and has suffered from constant external and internal injuries. Fortunately, he was treated in time, otherwise he would definitely not survive for more than two days.
I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine for him later, one for morning and one for evening. The medicine costs five taels, and if you want a complete cure, you'll need to take it for at least three months.
I don’t know if you want to prescribe medicine for this person.
Open it, here is the money for the medicine. Mo Rao handed the silver money to the old doctor.
The old doctor didn't expect that this man would be willing to spend 5 taels of silver to get medicine for the slave. After all, the medicine had to be taken for more than three months, which was a huge sum of money.
When the man heard this, he felt somewhat congratulated for his cleverness in selling the man out, otherwise he would have died in his hands and not even earned enough to eat.
But at the same time, the man was also a little surprised. A few prescriptions would cost five taels of silver. How much would it cost to take it for three months? He couldn't imagine it. The thinking of rich people was beyond his comprehension.
When Xiao Si came back from the government office, Mo Rao looked at the documents in his hand and found no problems, so he gave the silver to the big man without a penny less.
A big man carried Du Wenbo on his back and followed Mo Rao directly. In this era, there was no need to worry about slaves escaping. Without an identity or household registration, it would be useless to escape to any place and they would end up becoming refugees and beggars.
When they arrived at the carriage, the others were already waiting there, and the two cheetahs had already been sold.
Sixteen took out two hundred and thirty taels and handed them to Mo Rao, saying, "Miss, this is the money from selling the cheetah."
Mo Rao didn't take it, but took out three thousand taels from her bosom and handed it to Sixteen. "Take this silver and go to the capital city to find out the price of Yuwu Mountain. If it's suitable, buy it directly. We'll meet at Mingcheng Inn."
Okay, girl, Sixteen said, then he mounted his horse and rode away.
Several people lifted the half-dead boy onto a cart. At this time, the cart still had a strong smell of blood. Although the blood of the prey had dried up, the smell was still there.
But this is not the time to worry about these things.
When the group arrived at the inn, the innkeeper immediately came forward to arrange rooms for them when he saw so many people.
Du Wenbo had also woken up after drinking the medicine. Mo Rao sent the others away and asked, "You are not from this era."
When the person on the bed heard this, he knew that this person must be the same as himself. His intuition was right, and tears immediately flowed like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and he couldn't stop them.
Isn’t it shameful for a grown man to cry like this, Mo Rao said with disgust.
Woohoo... I don't want to cry either...
I can't stop crying... This shabby place... I finally saw someone I know...
Mo Rao said helplessly: "Okay, stop crying. Who are you? Which world are you from?"
After several inquiries, Mo Rao also knew all the information about this person.
