“Please don’t leave. We can discuss the price.” The middle-aged man quickly smiled and persuaded
“If you’re sincere about selling them, give me an honest price.
“Otherwise, forget it. It’s more worthwhile to buy food back in this drought.”
“Look at what you’re saying. These are really good products that aren’t easily encountered. How about this, 15 taels? You can take all 15 taels.”
“Ten taels. Load it up if you want to sell it. If not, I’ll leave town.” Gu Chengrui turned his horse around after he finished speaking.
“You’re too ruthless in your bargaining. How about we each take a step back and add three taels?”
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui did not say anything and just pulled the reins, about to set off.
“Fine, give me the silvers.” Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth and sold the furs. At least he could recover his costs.
Gu Chengrui handed the silver to him and then asked the shop assistant to load the furs into his carriage.
After the middle-aged man left, Gu Chengrui asked, “Young man, are you going to lose your job soon?”
“Exactly. After I’m done with these hides, I should be going home.”
“If you find it convenient, you can go to Qingshui Town’s Grassland Taste Restaurant to get a job.” Gu Chengrui offered with a smile, leaving the stunned assistant behind.
He just saw that this kid was quite clever and honest. If properly trained, he would be a rare talent.
When he returned to the restaurant, the sky had already turned completely dark.
After getting someone to help move the things into the restaurant, he took out ten batches of fine cotton cloth and handed it to Mrs. Li, asking her to make everyone’s summer clothes.
He put the rest in the main living room and then took his herbs to his clinic. After entering, he thought of the three injured captured men and decided to interrogate them.
The three people who were locked up had been bothered by flies for the entire afternoon. The blood on their wounds especially attracted flies, and they were gradually swelling. The men had also started to develop a fever.
When they saw Gu Chengrui, they immediately thought of his previous remarks. The men feared their lives would be gone if Gu Chengrui didn’t treat them in time.
Therefore, the man in the middle asked directly, “What do you want to know?”
“You thought about it?” Gu Chengrui stepped forward and asked.
“Yes, but you have to promise us that you’ll treat our wounds as soon as possible.”
“No problem, I’m a doctor.” After Gu Chengrui said this, he stepped forward to check their wounds. “Tsk, tsk. The weather is sure hot. It hasn’t even been six hours, and the wound has already started to rot.”
The three of them tensed up when they heard that. The other two immediately followed suit and shouted, “Just ask what you want to know!”
“Who are you?
“Who told you to bring refugees to Yunhe County?
“What other missions do you have here?
“One person, one question.” Gu Chengrui’s expression hardened.
The three looked at each other for a moment before the one in the middle laughed dryly. “What are you talking about? We don’t understand, and we’re just refugees. As for choosing this place, it’s natural because there are mountains and water here. What’s so strange about that?”
“Is that so? Alright, then, you’ll have to bear with your wounds. Yunhe County’s punishment for thieves is quite severe, so I don’t think there’s a need to treat you.” Gu Chengrui turned around and walked out after he finished speaking.
“Hiss…” At that moment, the person on the right gasped. He felt something stirring in the wound on his leg. The pain was so intense that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Thinking back to the scene of Gu Chengrui being eaten by maggots, he sweated profusely on such a hot day and quickly shouted, “Don’t go; I’ll talk!”
