Chapter 170 Could it be that a spy has sneaked in?
"Mrs. Jiang, please don't misunderstand. I agreed with Mr. Jiang before on two hundred taels. I can't accept more. This is the rule of doing things." Gu Xiaoxi didn't have this habit.
I have encountered some patients before who deliberately gave more money but actually had other requests.
If you accept the money, it would be neither right to help nor wrong to not help, so later on I simply made a rule for myself not to accept any extra money.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was so determined, Mrs. Jiang did not force her.
Gu Xiaoxi told Dr. Luo what to pay attention to next, and left the rest to Dr. Luo.
After giving her instructions, she said goodbye to Dr. Luo and left.
Mrs. Jiang wanted her men to send her back in a carriage, but she refused.
Mrs. Jiang still had a lot of things to do, so she didn't insist. Doctor Luo stayed here temporarily to help take care of Mr. Jiang.
After Gu Xiaoxi left, Mrs. Jiang asked her men to secretly deal with the person in the next two days.
For the Jiang family, which had been involved in gangs before, it was too easy to deal with the two people.
After Gu Xiaoxi left the Jiang family, it was getting dark. She went to the pub where she heard the gossip last time to comfort herself.
Before going in this time, Gu Xiaoxi changed into men's clothes.
When I walked in, I found that the business was extremely popular, and in the end the waiter could only find a table for everyone.
The man sharing the table was a young man. He looked up when he saw someone sitting down opposite him.
"I'm sorry, sir, there are many people here today, so this guest can only share the table with you." The waiter said politely.
Um!
The man responded in a low voice and lowered his head to continue eating.
The table was not small, so Gu Xiaoxi ordered two dishes and a pot of Shaodaozi for herself.
You can imagine how spicy it is after taking a bite.
Gu Xiaoxi almost vomited. It tasted like cheap fake wine, but the men in the bar seemed to be drinking it with gusto.
However, the young man opposite did not order any wine.
She casually asked, "Brother, don't you drink?"
Um!
The man still responded in the same way.
Gu Xiaoxi thought that this man might be a mute, or not good at socializing, so she didn't waste her breath on him.
Drinking, eating meat, and listening to the gossip of those around me.
"I heard things have started to get unsettled over there recently. When I came back at noon today, I saw quite a few more soldiers conducting mid-course inspections."
"Could there be a spy sneaking in?"
"Who knows? Just be careful when you go."
The man sitting opposite Gu Xiaoxi looked up and frowned when he heard this.
Seeing this man's big reaction, Gu Xiaoxi wondered if he was a spy from the enemy country?
The man had bronze skin and good-looking facial features, but his eagle-like eyes were a bit cold, giving people a feeling of keeping away from strangers.
The man realized that the person opposite him was looking at him, so he lowered his head and continued eating.
He ate even faster, finishing all the food on the table in no time. He gave the money to the waiter and walked out quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel curious, so she stood up and followed him.
The man walked along the street and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
Gu Xiaoxi guessed that the other party might be a martial artist, so he followed him very carefully all the way.
The man came to a shabby alley. It looked like an abandoned place, with many beggars coming in and out of it.
Not long after, she was blocked by a group of beggars. When she walked out of the group of beggars, she found that the man had disappeared.
Could it be that these beggars are in cahoots with that man?
Without having time to think about it, she turned and left for fear of being noticed.
However, the man was actually hiding at the corner. He was also curious about who this person was and why he followed him.
However, he had more important things to do now, so he left quickly.
After leaving, Gu Xiaoxi wandered around for a while and found that there were no decent houses in this area. She guessed that this must be the slums in the city.
After walking around and finding it boring, she walked towards the downtown area.
In order to track this guy, she didn't eat just now. She found a place to enter the space, made a meal for herself in the kitchen, and gave some to Whiteboard.
"Baiban, are you bored in this space? Can I find a way to take you back to my current home?" Gu Xiaoxi asked Baiban.
Woof woof!
Baiban barked twice and looked at the little white tiger in the den over there.
Gu Xiaoxi almost forgot that there was this little guy in the space.
The little guy looked like a cute little kitten, and she named him Xiaobai.
Xiaobai is now full and asleep, lying on his back with his round little belly exposed.
Gu Xiaoxi came over with a bowl to check on the little guy. Seeing that the little guy was sleeping soundly, she didn't disturb him.
He walked to the table with his bowl and sat down, thinking while eating.
She felt the space was a bit stuffy, and sometimes she was so busy that she would forget to feed Xiaobai.
Although Baiban is sensible, he is just a dog and cannot make milk for Xiaobai.
An idea flashed through Gu Xiaoxi's mind. She put down her bowl and walked to the payment window and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a household robot?"
"One hundred taels of silver!" a voice came from inside.
"Is it so expensive?" Gu Xiaoxi immediately dismissed the idea.
Normally, renting a robot would only cost a few taels of silver at most, so it’s better to just rent it!
"Boss, this is not an ordinary robot. It is a universal robot that can cook, dig herbs, grow vegetables, and help you perform surgery. The most important thing is that it can repair itself for free for a lifetime." The payment window threw out a great temptation.
Universal robot!
Can you still help her perform surgery?
Gu Xiaoxi did some calculations and realized that if she had to perform a major operation in the future, she would definitely need a robot assistant. She also had to clean up the medicinal herbs dug in the yard. If she had this robot, it would be much easier.
However, one hundred taels was still too expensive, so she gritted her teeth and made a lower price: "One hundred taels for two sets, otherwise I will lose too much."
The universal payment window fell silent.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Gu Xiaoxi thought that it meant that he disagreed, so he didn't bother to waste his breath. At worst, he would find a chance to find two monkeys to train and let them help with farming.
However, when the person at the universal payment window saw Gu Xiaoxi turning around to leave, they suddenly stopped him and said, "Two machines, at least one hundred and twenty taels of silver."
"Deal!" Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily.
After paying the money, she saw two cool robots. She named them No. 1 and No. 2 so that she wouldn't forget too many names.
With two new toys, the evening naturally became more fun. She tried to see what Number One and Number Two could do.
She was very satisfied with the result, and she left the job of making milk to them from now on. She felt relieved and slept very soundly that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, she went to Mrs. Tan's stall to buy some necessary things.
Mrs. Tan hadn't seen Gu Xiaoxi for a long time, and the two had endless things to talk about when they met.
Ever since I learned how to make pork offal porridge and century egg and lean meat porridge, there have been many customers here in the morning.
A customer who was very familiar with Mrs. Tan suddenly started gossiping: "Mrs. Tan, guess who I saw yesterday?"
"Who did you see?" Mrs. Tan asked casually.
"Yesterday I actually saw the woman who used to sell chestnuts across the street at Yanzhilou. I remember you said before that the woman was put in jail. How come she got out so soon?" the man asked curiously.
