Chapter 162 His lover?
"What about you?"
This is a question asked of another injured girl.
There are still people at her home; she plans to escape later and go home to treat her arm.
Jiang Mianmian gave her some medicine. Food was scarce, and medicine was even harder to find. If her broken arm wasn't treated properly, she would have a hard time surviving.
As for that homeless girl with a broken arm, we might as well take her to Taoyuan later, so she can at least survive.
After eating, everyone felt much better and their fear subsided considerably.
Even the person who started off being sarcastic kept thanking Jiang Mianmian.
[Merit points increase by 100, 80, 90...]
Because of the girls' gratitude, her merit points began to increase rapidly.
Once we wipe out this group of traffickers, we'll definitely break 400,000.
Jiang Mianmian was quite satisfied with the trip. Just as she was about to give a few more instructions, there was some noise outside.
She went back into the cage, pretending nothing had happened, and the others immediately became more composed and shrank back.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Bian Si, Granny Cai, and Master Yuan walked in together.
Master Yuan strode to the iron chains imprisoning Jiang Mianmian and asked in a trembling voice, "Miss Mianmian? Is it really you?"
"Master Yuan, please save me!"
Jiang Mianmian looked up, trying her best to make a pitiful look.
As a result, he saw that Master Yuan looked horrified and almost burst out laughing, so he quickly winked.
"I... I need to speak with her alone for a few minutes. You can all leave now."
Master Yuan quickly understood and waved to the two people behind him.
"Alright then, Mr. Yuan, you'd better hurry."
This was a market, so the vegetable vendor wasn't worried about any accidents. The two of them went outside and closed the door.
Master Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Miss Mianmian, what are you doing again? You scared me to death."
"I thought Mr. Yuan wouldn't care about me, but I didn't expect him to make a special trip. How about we make a deal?"
Jiang Mianmian could tell that his worry was genuine. Although it was definitely for Yuan Pei's antidote, he still had some humanity left and wasn't so heartless as to want to kill her.
Then she was naturally willing to give the Yuan family a way out.
"Go ahead, but you can't bring up my Pei'er's antidote again, that's something you owe me."
Master Yuan was very anxious, "Give me the antidote first."
"I just praised you, and you're already getting too cocky, aren't you? Don't worry, he won't die."
Jiang Mianmian glanced at him sideways.
Everyone around knew the Yuan family, and everyone feared the Yuan family.
But now, seeing that Master Yuan not only showed no disrespect to this girl, but also seemed to have something to ask of her, his tone was soft and gentle, and he had lost all his usual dignified demeanor, his admiration for this benefactor fairy rose several notches.
"Fine, fine, you're my aunt, tell me what you really want."
Wanting to ask her to treat Pei'er's leg, Master Yuan had to suppress his temper.
Jiang Mianmian leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Are you telling the truth?"
Why would I lie to you? Just tell me if you're going to do it or not.
Jiang Mianmian knocked on the iron cage twice. "Hurry up, I'm busy, we have to finish tonight."
"Damn it! Don't lie to me!"
Master Yuan's eyes flashed with malice as he turned and left.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Outside, Master Yuan ordered his men to unload everything and asked anxiously, "When can I take the person away?"
"I'll order the food and then go get her. Don't rush me."
Granny Cai carefully observed his expression and couldn't help but wonder why Master Yuan was so anxious and upset about just a little girl.
She probed, "That brat said she could cure the young master's leg, is that true? Is it really that amazing?"
"Where is the treatment for the leg, it is..."
Master Yuan suddenly paused, as if realizing something, and gave her a displeased look, "Stop asking questions."
Seeing that he was angry, Granny Cai stopped asking questions and offered a few apologetic smiles.
He then pretended to inspect the grain and tried to get information out of the guards, saying, "This girl isn't Master Yuan's mistress, is she? She's so popular with your master."
"Don't talk nonsense, she's a fairy!"
The guard looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Whoever can please this girl will have a constant supply of food! She knows magic! I'm telling you, you're stupid. It's like selling a bag of rice for a treasure trove, tsk tsk."
The old woman looked at him as if he were a fool.
The guard immediately said, "Don't you believe me? Haven't you heard about what happened in Fengshui County?"
"What's the matter?"
That's a difficult question to answer. Fengshui County is not close to the prefectural city, and she's already struggling to make ends meet, so how could she possibly care about things that are so far away?
The guard then launched into a long explanation, "This all started with..."
The story goes directly from natural disaster warnings to the heavy rain, during which Fengshui County suffered almost no casualties and a continuous supply of various divine foods.
The old woman listened in a daze, her eyes gradually changing.
If that's the case, we absolutely cannot let this girl leave!
Just as he was pondering this, he heard the guard say again, "If I were you, I'd hold a city-wide auction and sell to whoever bids the highest! She's only temporarily injured or something happened because you've captured her. Once she comes to her senses, won't she come after you first? It's better to take this opportunity to sell her for a good price and let those with the means control her..."
The more the old woman listened, the more she felt it made sense, so she turned around and ran to Master Yuan to bargain.
The two quickly started arguing, and their voices grew louder and louder.
"You old woman, don't push your luck! How can you go back on your word?"
"I don't care, if you can't afford the price, don't blame me for selling her to someone else!"
"W-What do you want?"
"Just wait and see. The highest bidder will win in one hour!"
"What fairy? You're talking nonsense. Who would believe you? The highest bidder wins. Be careful you don't end up losing more than you gain!"
"Never mind that, I'll find a way to make them believe me!"
Jiang Mianmian became more and more satisfied as she listened. As expected of the Yuan family, they were indeed reliable in their work, and they had managed to fool the vegetable vendor so easily.
The next step is to see how many people the vegetable vendor can gather. When that happens, it's time to close the net!
About half an hour later, it became lively outside.
Bian Si came in and led Jiang Mianmian to a small house.
The old woman was waiting for her inside. "I didn't realize you were so amazing, girl. A fairy, huh? How come a fairy was so easily bewitched? Tsk, that's not very good, haha."
"Auntie, why are you doing this to me? I thought you were a good person, so I was completely unsuspecting!"
Jiang Mianmian glared at her angrily, but still pretended to be completely powerless.
The old woman chuckled, "Oh right, you're not a fairy, just a fairy's apprentice. No wonder you're so useless. Why don't you soften your stance and follow me from now on? Conjure something up for me, let me see."
"I...I will not aid and abet evil!"
Jiang Mianmian was furious, her eyes wide open.
