In the quiet mountains, everyone held their breath. When Lao Wu suddenly pulled out a hundred-tael silver note, Chaoge's voice rang out anxiously, shocking everyone and surprising Lao Wu!
"Big sister..."
Just when everyone was shocked that Chaoge was obsessed with money, the Leng siblings rushed towards her and tried to stop her.
"don’t worry."
Chaoge shook his head at the two siblings and gave them a look that told them to stay calm.
Lao Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at Chaoge who was wearing a veil, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
None of this group of grown men stood up, but a little girl dared to wade into this muddy water. Her courage is truly commendable.
"Give me one hundred taels and I'll lead the way for you. I see that you are quite skilled in martial arts, so you should be able to do Qinggong, right?"
Just now, Lao Wu came down from the tree. Chaoge saw the light movement and steady landing.
She didn't know if the Qinggong that only appeared in legends or novels really existed in this era. She wanted to take a gamble.
If that were the case, not only would she be able to earn the one hundred taels immediately, she would also have the opportunity to sell the python gallbladders she had collected to this person.
Although she had no ability to protect herself, if these people wanted to go back on their word and not pay the one hundred taels of silver, or wanted to kill her once and for all, she had the space as a retreat. She could just find a big tree in the mountains to use as cover and hide in the space.
At worst, she still has wood-related skills.
Whether in the previous life or this life, wealth and honor are always sought through risk.
And this is an opportunity, the best chance for her to earn the first pot of gold for her future life.
Opportunities are always there, but Chaoge knows how to seize every opportunity.
Lao Wu looked Chaoge up and down with complicated eyes, and finally nodded: "Well, Qinggong will make it faster than you. When we find that place, I can have someone escort you back here, or take you down the mountain."
Chaoge didn't expect this man to offer such tempting conditions, but there were only five of them, including Black Panther.
If he uses Qinggong to carry everyone down the mountain, will he have enough manpower?
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else for now.
Wait until I take you to find the python's den."
After saying this, Chaoge lowered his eyes to look at the black panther, and at the same time put away the long sword in his hand: "Little Blackie, hurry up, there is no need to suppress him anymore."
Upon hearing this, Black Panther immediately jumped off Lao Liu's body and came to Chaoge's side obediently, squatting next to her calf.
As soon as Lao Liu was free, he immediately got up from the ground, and Chaoge returned the sword to him without hesitation.
Lao Liu took it awkwardly and looked Chaoge up and down again: "I didn't expect that you, a village girl, would be followed by such a beast?
Oh, if you give me back the sword, aren't you afraid that I will kill it with the sword and then kill you?"
"We are just refugees fleeing famine, and you are obviously not ordinary people.
I believe what you said is true, otherwise you wouldn't be able to catch Zhou Xiaoniu.
Let's go, it's only a few hours until dawn, go early and come back early."
"Sister, can you not go? When we get to Xilin County, you will still worry about us..."
Leng Furong almost blurted out the words, but Chaoge quickly pinched her palm and stopped her with a look.
"The Black Panthers will stay to protect you, don't worry, they won't embarrass a village girl like you.
I believe you two, they are fully capable of capturing one of us.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to let Big Sister earn their money and make them owe us a favor."
What Chaoge said made sense, but Lao Liu and Lao Wu did not expect that she would speak out their thoughts so bluntly.
Zhou Dong and his group suddenly realized something and immediately regretted not having the courage to earn the one hundred taels of silver.
It turned out that Chaoge had already expected that even if they did not agree to take money to do the job, with the skills of these two people, they would be able to take one of them away.
"It seems that you are quite clever. In that case, let's go."
"Sister, let me, let us go with you!"
Although Leng Furong understood what Chaoge meant, she still didn't want to be separated from Chaoge.
She held Chaoge's hands tightly with both of her hands, not wanting to let go, her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that Chaoge would face danger alone.
"Be good, I can leave with peace of mind because Xiao Heizi is here to protect you, Aunt Li is here to take care of you, and Uncle Qiu and Uncle Dong are here.
Don't worry about me. Instead of worrying, it's better to let me go and come back quickly."
Chaoge didn't know what to say to convince this girl. Leng Liecheng was obviously reluctant to let her go, but he didn't dare to force her to hold his hand.
After Chaoge finished speaking, he pried Leng Furong's hands apart and turned to walk towards the fifth and sixth brothers.
The fifth and sixth brothers probably didn't want to waste any more time, so they didn't say any more words. They just grabbed Chaoge's arm and left the place quickly using their lightness skills.
Looking at the three figures disappearing in the woods, the silence at this moment seemed as if what had just happened was an illusion.
Only the sound of Leng Furong crying made everyone realize that Chaoge actually went to earn the one hundred taels of silver!
"Sister, stop crying. Let's go first."
Leng Liecheng didn't want to be watched by the crowd, so he pulled the crying Leng Furong towards their campfire in the distance.
"Hey, what's going on?
Furong, why are you crying? What happened over there? Where is the little pigeon? "
Even though Aunt Li saw something happening over there, she didn't dare leave. Leng Xiaoran was still sleeping here, and she had to guard their wild boar meat and other food.
It would have been better if I hadn't asked. As soon as I asked, Leng Furong cried even harder.
Leng Liecheng told Aunt Li what had just happened. Naturally, Aunt Li was very scared. She kept slapping her thigh and shouting that the little pigeon should not have gone.
"This girl is so confused, will the young lady treat her badly when she arrives in Xilin County?
One hundred taels of silver is a lot, but it is not as important as your own life!
Well, what if those two people don’t want to give her money and just attack her directly?
And those guys like Zhou Dong, are they still men?
Even if those two people wanted to take her, they wouldn't take a girl like her, right?
She, she is really making trouble for herself!"
The more Aunt Li nagging, the more annoyed Leng Liecheng became!
He knew that Chaoge had made up his mind and no amount of persuasion could change his mind.
The current Chaoge is no longer the little pigeon that used to be a maid in their house.
Now he just hoped that the two men would keep their promise.
"If the elder sister hasn't come back by noon tomorrow, we will take Xiao Heizi and go look for her. Aunt Li, if you want to go down the mountain, just follow Uncle Dong and the others."
After Leng Liecheng made up his mind, he fell asleep directly.
He didn't want to care about the wild boar meat anymore. He had to stay in good spirits.
But when he closed his eyes at this moment, two little men kept fighting in his mind.
On the one hand, he believed in Chaoge's judgment, but on the other hand, he was worried that the two men would go back on their word.
Here, Chaoge, who was taken away, was traveling through the dark mountains.
