Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Harlan stayed in the hotel room and did not go out, while Gu Shi would tour the city of Ganora every day and happened to "pass by" the teleportation tower.
After Gu Shi's observations over the past few days, it seemed that the group had not given up the idea of capturing Harlan and still sent people to stake out near the teleportation tower.
It looks like they won't give up anytime soon.
I didn’t expect Harlan to be so valuable, Gu Shi sighed silently in his heart.
Both of them were a little impatient about this phenomenon.
Harlan thought that he had been caught for so long, and his parents at home must be very worried. Moreover, after experiencing such a change, he felt uneasy when he thought that he had not completely escaped the clutches of that group of people.
Gu Shi simply couldn't adapt. The room he rented was a single room, and Harlan slept on the floor next to him every night.
There was suddenly a living person in the room. The two had just met not long ago, so Gu Shi always felt a little uncomfortable. It was okay for a day or two, but after a long time, he could no longer bear it.
So that night, Gu Shi proposed a somewhat risky plan to Harlan.
Harlan was hesitant at first. He thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally put his hand on his chest where the props were hidden, and nodded in agreement to Gu Shi's proposal.
The next day, Gu Shi took action immediately. He came to the flower market in Canora City, which was a market where all kinds of flowers were sold.
Gu Shi bought some flowers he liked while walking around the market. He finished shopping after he had walked around the whole market. Only then did he realize that the flowers he bought had almost piled up into a small mountain.
Helplessly, Gu Shi could only ask someone to buy a few wooden boxes and a small cart. He placed the flowers he bought neatly in the wooden boxes, stacked them on the cart and took them back to the hotel.
Gu Shi walked into the hotel and pointed at the things outside and asked, "Boss, can I leave these things in the backyard for one night?"
The boss took a look and nodded, "Okay, just put it aside."
Then he asked curiously, "What did you buy? It's piled so high."
Gu Shi said casually, "It's just some flowers. I was strolling around the market and bought too many without realizing it. I'll send them back tomorrow."
Fresh flowers will not survive long if placed in a wooden box like this, so naturally they need to be planted somewhere as soon as possible.
Hearing Gu Shi's words, the boss smiled and said, "Haha, we don't have much else in Canola City, but we do have a lot of beautiful flowers. It's normal for you to be dazzled."
Obviously, the boss is already used to this kind of situation.
That night, Gu Shi and Harlan went to the backyard under the cover of darkness and secretly emptied a wooden box from the cart of flowers. Harlan then swiftly curled up in the wooden box.
Gu Shi lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry to bother you staying here for a while. I'll take these boxes and leave early tomorrow morning."
Harlan replied, "It's okay. It's nothing. Just pack up and go back. Don't let anyone see you."
Gu Shi covered the box where Harlan was, put two boxes of flowers on top, pressed him in the middle, and then quietly returned to the room.
The next morning, Gu Shi pulled a cart and brought Harlan and the flowers to the teleportation tower.
The staff at the transmission tower saw him pulling such a cart and asked, "Sir, what are these things behind you?"
Gu Shi answered openly, "These are the flowers I bought. It's not convenient to store them in the space."
"If you want to take these flowers with you on the teleportation array, then according to the regulations, you will need to pay an additional fee."
As he spoke, the staff member looked at the boxes and quoted a very expensive price, even higher than Gu Shi's own transportation fee.
"Okay, no problem."
After paying the fee, Gu Shi brought the box to the corresponding teleportation array.
During this time, he noticed someone quietly approaching him, so he pretended to accidentally remove the cover of the top wooden box, revealing the neatly arranged flowers inside.
After that, the man turned and left.
More than ten minutes later, accompanied by the light of the teleportation array, Gu Shi successfully brought Harlan back to his hometown.
After finding a deserted place, Gu Shi released Harlan. The first thing he did after coming out was to look up and observe the traces around him.
After seeing the familiar scenery, Harlan's eyes were a little red. He rushed over and hugged Gu Shi tightly, "Thank you, thank you."
Gu Shi understood his excitement, raised his hand and patted his back to comfort him: "Okay, okay, you finally came back, you should go home quickly."
"you're right."
Harlan let go of Gu Shi, wiped his face, and then pulled him back home quickly.
Not long after, Gu Shi sat on the soft sofa, watching Harlan and his son crying and hugging each other, and calmly took a sip of the tea in his hand.
The butler standing next to him explained, "I'm so sorry, the master was just too excited and didn't mean to leave you out in the cold. He has been very worried during the days when the young master was away."
"That's okay. I understand."
Gu Shi put down the teacup and started eating the snacks beside him.
After he had almost finished the plate of snacks, the father and son, who had been in pain, finally calmed down a little and noticed him sitting next to them.
Harlan's father's voice was still choked with sobs. "Thank you so much! Harlan has already told me that without your help, he would never have come back. You are his savior."
Gu Shi shook his head. "It's not that serious. I just took the money and did the job."
Harlan's father said sincerely, "No, please accept my gratitude. Harlan is my only child. If he really can't come back, I will definitely not be able to survive."
In this way, when Gu Shi left Harlan's house again, he had an astonishingly generous reward and a promise to help him unconditionally forever.
Gu Shi stretched and looked up at the blue sky. "The matter is finally resolved. Let's reward myself with a good meal."
After happily eating a big meal, Gu Shi returned to Ganora City.
Although he already knew that the water behind the city of Ganora was deep, Gu Shi was not ready to leave.
He had no intention of being a righteous hero who saved the slaves. As long as he pretended not to know, these things would have nothing to do with him as an ordinary adventurer.
Gu Shi couldn't believe that he would be so unlucky to encounter these things one after another.
