Chapter 102 A Tael of Silver



I saw Xiaohong and Miss Liu, both of them looked very miserable.

Xiaohong was carrying a bag, but it didn't look like there was anything inside. It was even emptier than the last time I saw them.

Both of their faces were covered in dirt and their hair was a mess.

If you didn’t know, you would think that the two of them had met with some disaster.

The most surprising thing was that Miss Liu was carrying a wild rabbit.

The rabbit was quite big, but there was not much meat on its body.

The rabbit closed its eyes, but its rising and falling belly betrayed it.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you carrying a dead rabbit?"

After a long silence, Xia Manni's throat became hoarse when she spoke.

Unexpectedly, Xia Manni's question made Liu Miaoyan burst into tears.

"Miss, Miss..."

The two people's voices were not small in the quiet environment. Xia Manni felt a headache looking at everyone's gazes.

"If you cry any more, you'll die of thirst faster."

Xia Manni said fiercely, and Liu Miaoyan stopped crying after hearing that.

"Xiaohong, tell me what happened."

Xiaohong, with messy hair, sat in front of Xia Manni.

"That day we went to rescue someone, but after saving that woman, she started blackmailing us. She even insisted..."

When Xiaohong said this, she secretly glanced at her mistress.

Then he continued, "She had to follow Brother Mu. If Brother Mu didn't agree, that woman would cause trouble everywhere..."

"Later, we encountered a group of officials and bandits, and Brother Mu risked his life to help us escape."

"It's just that Brother Mu can't find it... The rabbit was given to me by Brother Mu at that time. Miss didn't know what to do with it, so she came to find you."

Xia Manni nodded, indicating that she understood a little.

She walked up to Liu Miaoyan and asked, "Miss Liu, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Miaoyan no longer had the domineering attitude as before, but her eyes looked a little dull.

"I don't know how to handle the rabbit, so I'll give it to you. He also said you're trustworthy."

"Miss was holding the rabbit all the way, and when someone tried to snatch it away, we ran away, which is why we are in this situation now."

They had probably been separated for only two or three days, and it turned out like this.

"This is for you."

Liu Miaoyan handed the rabbit to Xia Manni.

Xia Manni didn't answer, nor did she speak, she just looked at Liu Miaoyan quietly.

Liu Miaoyan seemed to have figured something out and took out a water bag from her bag.

"This is for you, too."

Xia Manni didn't say anything, because she wanted to see what Liu Miaoyan wanted.

Unexpectedly, this person thought that she thought it was too little and gave her the water bag again.

Xia Manni looked at the water bag and couldn't help swallowing.

"What do you want?"

She didn't take the water bag. She always felt that Miss Liu seemed different.

"Mu Tou asked me to find you. I need to go home and find someone to save him."

Xia Manni was a little confused: "Where is your home?"

Miss Liu, who had been speaking like a sieve, was silent at this moment.

"Someone is coming back to pick me up near the county town ahead."

Xia Manni understood a little bit that she wanted her to be escorted to the next county town.

She asked hesitantly, "Brother Mu, are you okay?"

"He'll be fine. It's all my fault..."

At this point, Liu Miaoyan raised her head, glanced at Xia Manni, and said, "You are right."

"What did I do right?"

This is a bit confusing.

"Not everyone can be trusted. I'm too clueless..."

"Well, it's a great honor to know your mistakes and then improve them."

Xia Manni stopped Miss Liu from chattering. She felt that Miss Liu was like a child who corrected her mistakes and asked for praise.

"Why do you think I would help you?"

She looked at the dying rabbit and really didn't know what to do.

"Don't forget you took one or two ounces of silver from me."

Well, she is not the only one who is thinking about this tael of silver.

Their friendship is only worth one or two taels of silver.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xia Manni resigned herself to taking the water bag and the dying rabbit.

The water bag was opened, and Xia Manni suddenly thought of something before giving it to Da Wa.

So he asked, "Do you know there is no water here?"

Xia Manni looked at Miss Liu and Xiaohong with her eyes wide open.

Then you will know their answer.

Liu Miaoyan looked at the four children whose lips were dry and blistered, and wanted to take back the water bag, but finally stopped.

Mu Tou said that this person is trustworthy.

If you want someone to escort you, you have to show sincerity.

"I don't know. Just drink it."

Originally, Xia Manni had no intention of returning it, but she was still a little uncomfortable seeing Miss Liu suddenly become much more sensible.

Xia Manni gave it to Da Wa, and Da Wa gave it to Sinier.

Si Ni'er also put it in her palm and poured a sip on the potato.

Then he took a sip himself and gave it to Sanwa.

Each child took a sip, and when it was Xia Manni's turn, there was still half a water bag of water in her hand.

Xia Manni also took a sip, and then gave it to Liu Miaoyan and Xiaohong.

"Here, drink it. This little water won't do you any good."

Xiaohong took the water with profuse gratitude. They had been chasing them from behind and had four water bags on them, so she drank two of them.

There are only two left in their hands, and they don't know that there is no water in this mountain.

Although Liu Miaoyan felt a little embarrassed, she still took a sip.

There were only a few sips left, and Liu Miaoyan asked the children to drink it all.

"Thank you, Miss Liu, and thank you, Sister Xiaohong."

The water from a water bag made them feel like drinking the dew of jade.
