On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 77 The Stable Man's Determination

It has to be said that the profession of hiring someone to kill is still very popular. These people can make a profit of one thousand and two taels of silver just by taking over a kidnapping case.

If she didn't want to retire and lie down, she would have been tempted.

Lan Yue counted and found that she had made a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver from these people. It seemed that these killers were novices, otherwise they would not have been solved by her in one move.

"Here are more than five thousand taels of silver. We will each get one thousand taels. I will keep the children's silver first, and the adults will keep it themselves." Lan Yue gave the silver to Liu, "You can't refuse, I will be angry."

Lan Yue knew that they didn't want to take it, but Lan Yue would not indulge them. She would keep Nanyu and Nanyan's silver first, and then give it to the two of them when they arrived in Nanzhou.

"I've never seen so much silver." Nanyu was very happy. He never thought that they would also get silver.

Lan Yue put away the silver and continued, "Don't worry, there will be opportunities to see a lot of silver in the future, so that you will never be able to spend it all."

"Hehe, Sister Lan Yue is right. I will definitely see a lot of silver in the future. I will also work hard to earn silver to support Sister Lan Yue and Aunt Liu."

"I want to make money too!" Gu Xue raised her hand, "Then I can buy a big house and we can live together."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You are so young, you should learn to read and write first, otherwise you will be deceived without knowing it."

"Yes, yes, yes. We have money now. When we get to Nanzhou, we will go to a private school. I will also learn martial arts to protect my sisters."

"Yes, learn martial arts!"

The groom was listening to the conversation inside from outside, and he felt he could make a choice.

It would be better for him to be the exclusive groom of Miss Blue and her friends instead of running around waiting for people every day. He is old, unmarried and has no relatives. Miss Blue and her friends are not bad. When they buy a house in the future, he can have someone to live with. It seems that he must not hold Miss Blue back in the future. He must perform well and strive to get the recognition of Miss Blue and her friends!
Shortly after Lan Yue and others left, the secret guards appeared directly and ran to your corpses in groups to study how they died.

The aorta was cut all the way through. A small leaf could cut the aorta. This person must have had internal strength of more than fifty years. Moreover, she was very familiar with the location of the aorta and could kill with one accurate move.

The girl their young master is looking for is really not an ordinary person.

When they first received the task, they were excited. Then when they found out that the other party was a girl, they were excited and shocked, incredulous, and had complicated feelings.

Then, when they saw each other for the first time, the girl was pretty, but she was obviously a weak and powerless vase beauty.

Their young master is only attracted to her by her looks, not her ability, so she is definitely not qualified to be their young lady.

And now, well, I’m slapped in the face.

They didn't expect that this girl looked uninspiring, but she could be so fast, accurate, and ruthless when she attacked!

After cleaning up the corpses, the group of secret guards continued to follow Lan Yue and the others, protecting them in secret.

They will not take the initiative to act unless it is a crisis, and what's more, they don't seem to have the opportunity to act.

After the inn, it takes another two days of walking to reach the next town.

The roast chicken that Lan Yue packed came in handy.

night.

They started a fire, roasted the chicken on a rack, and Liu cooked rice in a pot.

Gu Xue and Nan Yu were washing vegetables nearby, while Nan Yan was responsible for washing the dishes.

Lan Yue sprinkled insect repellent around the carriage and the fire, washed her hands, and then took out the silver from the cloth bag.

"Uncle, this is your money."

"Oh, I have money too!" The groom took the cloth bag with a smile on his face. The heavy bag made him smile from ear to ear.

"There are a total of one hundred taels of silver, some small copper coins, and small change."

"Thank you Miss Lan. I, Ma Dazhuang, will work like a slave for you from now on and thank you for your kindness."

Lan Yue: "...Uh, actually it doesn't have to be like this..." Before Lan Yue finished speaking, Doctor Ma shook his head and said solemnly, "Miss Lan, you don't know that you saved my life and gave me money. I, Doctor Ma, have never received so much money in my life, nor have I been saved by anyone. If it weren't for Miss Lan today, I would have been dead long ago."

Lan Yue: “…”

Ah this...

"Uncle, you actually..."

Lan Yue wanted to say something, but Doctor Ma interrupted her, "Don't say anything. I know Miss Lan may not need someone like me. I have no one to rely on, and it doesn't matter where I go. I understand that Miss Lan doesn't want to take me in."

After Doctor Ma finished speaking, his whole body exuded the aura of "don't bother with me, I'm just a waste anyway."

Blue Moon: ...

It's hard to comment.

She didn't expect that although this groom looked silly, he was actually a dramatic actor.

Lan Yue thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, let's go to Nanzhou and have a look. If you are willing to stay, we are willing to let you live with us."

"Really?" Doctor Ma looked up instantly, his frosted eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"What do you think?" Lan Yue asked others.

"We have no problem with that."

Doctor Ma knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, and thank you, Miss Lan."

Lan Yue: "Uh, you should get up first, don't kneel before us all the time."

Doctor Ma smiled innocently, stood up and walked away a little, brushed off the mud and dust on his body, and then came back.

Nanyu brought water to wash his hands, "Uncle Ma, you must not betray us in the future. Once you enter our house, you are our person, so you must not join the bad guys to bully us."

Doctor Ma nodded. "I'm already over sixty years old. How could I still want to help bad guys? I'm afraid I won't live to be a hundred."

Miss Lan is such a powerful person. If he doesn't cherish the support of such a person, he would be a complete fool.

Liu: "Okay, come over quickly and eat roast chicken."

"The rice will take a while to cook, and I have to stir-fry two vegetables."

After all, it was Lan Yue who saved their lives, and they would never stop trusting Lan Yue because of outsiders.

As for Doctor Ma's character... they are not sure whether he can be trusted yet, so they will just keep him under observation for now. Lan Yue must have her own considerations for agreeing to accept him.
-
The next morning.

After traveling for three days and two nights, they finally arrived at the next small town.

Lan Yue may never want to ride in a carriage again in her life.

Her butt was sore from sitting so hard and her legs were sore.

I found an inn in the small town and paid directly for a night's stay.

Although it is urgent to hurry, you can't be too hasty.

"Do you think this town is weird?" Nan Yan and a few others sat in the outdoor hall, drinking tea and looking out the window.

"Yeah, it does look a bit strange." Gu Yan looked at the people walking on the street.

There were more boys than girls. There was not a single young girl to be seen. The few that were there were children around three to four or five years old.
