"Three taels?"
"Why don't you just come and rob?"
"Exactly, how can you do business like this?"
“…”
Finally, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting.
Bian San just watched coldly, until everyone was silent. Then he said, "Although we are bandits, we are not robbers. These things are clearly marked with prices. If you have money, you can buy them. If you don't have money, you will starve. This is the rule."
He tapped the cage with a spoon: "Anyone want to buy it?"
This time no one said anything. Those who had money came to buy it, because if they didn't buy the steamed buns, they would go bad and they would have to spend several times more money.
Some people who really have no money will exchange valuable things they have on them.
As soon as I got it, I started eating it ravenously.
Qin Yu and the middle-aged man didn't move. They still had the things they bought yesterday and today, so they could almost hold on.
Qin Yu saw that the steamed buns and rice porridge in the bucket were gone, so he asked the uncle.
"Will you make new ones next time?"
The uncle sneered: "Of course not."
Qin Yu didn't understand why, but the uncle told him to read on and he would know.
Sure enough, all the steamed bread and rice porridge in the three flat buckets were sold out, but in the evening there was no food left, not even a sip of water.
Some people fainted from fatigue and thirst.
Some people still keep looking forward to tomorrow's meal.
But the next day, Bian San didn't come until noon.
Some were weak from hunger, some were crying bitterly, and some were cursing angrily. On this night, everyone's emotions were about to collapse.
The next day, when Bian San brought a bucket of steamed bread and porridge, which everyone had disliked the first day, and sold them for one or two taels of silver, no one said anything. Everyone was even happy because the things were cheap, and everyone rushed to buy them...
Qin Yu and the uncle also bought some. They had eaten a few days ago, but Qin Yu had never been hungry since he was a child, and this feeling was unbearable for him.
He ate voraciously and swore in his heart that he would beat Chen Yan to death the next time he saw him.
Looking at the people who had been tamed, Qin Yu and the uncle sighed.
"This boss is really capable."
The uncle smiled and asked, "Young man, why do you seem to be unfamiliar with these people? What do you do?"
Qin Yu got angry when he talked about this: "I am a doctor. I came to Han Ancient City to look for my grandfather, but I was cheated on the way."
He sighed and asked, "Uncle, I want to know, will we be locked up here forever?"
The uncle smiled and said, "Of course not..."
He looked at Qin Yu and said, "In a few days, these people will be redeemed by their family and friends outside. Do you have anyone outside..."
Qin Yu's eyes widened: "I... I don't know anyone, and my grandfather also..."
The uncle patted his shoulder and said, "You're in trouble."
The uncle dozed off against the cage, and Qin Yu also found a place to sit down.
Maybe this is what life is like.
He saw some crying, some laughing, some despairing, and some silent...
It's like a shadow play without sound.
Qin Yu fell asleep while watching.
This place is hot during the day and freezing cold at night.
He hugged his arms tightly and looked at the stars in the sky. He thought Su Yi would contact him, but she didn't.
The Su family members are indeed ruthless people.
After finally getting through three days, everyone was exhausted. They were tired, hungry, and sleepy, and had suffered tremendous torture both mentally and physically.
But Bian San came early, holding a pen and paper. Su Yi and Wu Shu, who were standing next to him, came over, one carrying a steamed bun and the other carrying a bucket of white porridge.
Everyone was drooling at the sight of the steamed buns and porridge, but Bian San was in no hurry to sell anything. Instead, he said, "Write to your families and ask them to pay a ransom for your release. Each person must pay one hundred taels of silver, and the deadline is three days."
One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Even Qin Yu was shocked. These bandits really dared to ask for it.
The people in the cage also felt that it was too much to ask for, but no one dared to object.
No one said not to write.
If you're caught, you have to pay a ransom. If you don't pay one hundred taels today, it might go up to two hundred taels tomorrow...
What's the point of talking to bandits?
Qin Yu finally understood why the bandits robbed people but did not search them before going up the mountain. Did they really not know that these people would hide money when they went out?
No, they know, they all know.
That’s why the steamed bun incident happened, letting everyone know that if you don’t pay today, the price will go up tomorrow. If you don’t pay tomorrow, the price will go up even more the day after tomorrow. After three days, it will be useless even if you want to pay.
No wonder that uncle said that the boss of Qingfeng Mountain is something special.
Qin Yu thought, what should he do?
This is a rare opportunity. Why not write a letter to Chen Yan and ask him to redeem himself?
No, no, no, Chen Yan wouldn't do that. Chen Yan is just a dog coin. He personally sent himself up here, so how could he be redeemed?
The rest...
Can Su Zhuo do it?
But Su Zhuo is a poor man. What if I promise to give him two gold bars after he succeeds?
Qin Yu began to feel annoyed again. No, he had hidden all the gold bars in the same place. If he told Su Zhuo, Su Zhuo would get rid of him.
What should I do?
Qin Yu had no idea.
At this time, the uncle stood up and went to get paper and pen, and got them smoothly.
Qin Yu followed closely behind, but Bian San looked at him with a smile: "Little white face, don't you know that this paper costs money? If you want it, just buy it with money."
Qin Yu endured it, even though he knew it was a trick of the bandits, he was still very angry.
"How many?"
"One ounce of silver."
Qin Yu took out a piece, which looked to be more than two taels, and Bian San gave him one tael in change.
Qin Yu took the silver and paper he got back and was stunned for a long time...
