Chapter 23



The barcode scanner scanned the gold jewelry left by Ye Zhou, and disappeared without a trace after a moment.

Ye Zhou was careful. He did not exchange all the gold jewelry for money, but kept some in the warehouse.

After exchanging the pistol and bullets, he still had 1.3 million left in his account.

At this time he felt a little regretful. After all, if these gold jewelry were sold at the modern price - after all, they were antiques, they would at least bring him more than tens of millions in income.

In terms of selling prices in this era, jade, calligraphy and paintings are more valuable.

After all, gold and silver were not circulated among the lower-class people. They either bartered goods or used copper coins.

Gold, as a precious metal that can be used as currency, is only circulated among the upper class, and only the upper class nobles can afford to buy and use gold ornaments.

For the upper class nobles, beautiful jade, calligraphy and paintings are the things most worth their money.

Gold jewelry is not as valuable in comparison.

Since it is not very valuable in this plane, maybe it will be valuable in another plane?

Ye Zhou still remembered what Sarah said about the plane she was in, where human nobles had no shortage of gold and silver, but the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was very poor. Wouldn't he be able to make a fortune by reselling them?

"There seems to be a horse in the system cargo column." Ye Zhou talked to himself while sitting in front of the computer.

Zou Ming walked behind him. The two of them lived together now, so Ye Zhou and Zou Ming had no privacy from each other, and therefore they quickly became familiar with each other.

Ye Zhou has selectively forgotten Zou Ming's background - since he is bound by the contract, Zou Ming's past is not that important.

Whether a person is a good person or a bad person sometimes depends on the environment he is in.

Anyway, Ye Zhou doesn't bother about it. If he keeps bothering himself, he will be the one who suffers.

"One hundred thousand for a horse..." Zou Ming was speechless for a moment when he saw the price.

Ye Zhou didn't feel bad: "There is still more than one million in the account, six horses cost 600,000, I can afford it, and water and food are not expensive."

Although horses are expensive, there is a reason for their high price. The ones marked below are all adult mares, racehorse grade.

Ye Zhou doesn't bet on horses, but he knows that good racehorses are basically all mares. Mares are faster, more stable, and have greater explosive power than stallions. The good horses worth thousands of gold on the racetrack are all mares.

The system rarely has a conscience.

Otherwise, if such a crooked thing was priced at 100,000, Ye Zhou would have wanted to smash the computer again.

"Even if we include the money for food and water, we can still make a profit of at least 400,000." Ye Zhou was not greedy. "It's already a lot! I didn't even dare to think about it before."

Ye Zhou entered the purchase amount and pressed the buy button. He leaned back in his chair, patted his legs and said, "It feels good to have money coming in."

Ever since he discovered that even with enough points he still couldn't return to his original plane, Ye Zhou placed all his hopes on making money.

The more money you make, the more weapons you can buy and the more stuff you can unlock.

The safer you are and the longer you live, the better your chances of returning home.

He had earned so much money, but the only planes he had unlocked to jump to were those two weird planes. Although the computer didn't give any hints, Ye Zhou still roughly guessed the reason -

It was estimated that only two planes could be unlocked at a time, and he had to travel to these two planes before he could unlock a new location.

Ye Zhou didn't want to fight an unprepared battle.

At least this plane is similar to ancient China, which he is more familiar with. He has to make preparations here before making the plane jump.

He only has one life, and he dare not gamble with it.

"I'm afraid these things belong to good people." Wu Yan looked at the small bag of gold jewelry that Sarah handed to him and felt that these things were hot potatoes. He said to Chen Liu and the others, "Return them to them when the time comes."

Chen Liu couldn't say that Yang Zhi and the others must be good people. He pursed his lips and said, "Brother Wu, otherwise I won't go..."

He was frightened by Yang Zhi and his men, and his moral standards that he had followed for many years were overturned. After he came back, he had a nightmare that night. He dreamed that he was skinned and drained of his tendons by Yang Zhi and his men, and turned into a pool of rotten meat.

Wu Yan didn't indulge him: "You provoked someone!"

Chen Liu shuddered: "They weren't like this before..."

As they were chatting, Cao'er's mother came over and glared at Chen Liu before saying to Wu Yan, "You shouldn't have let Chen Liu go! How can you be respectful when two acquaintances meet?!"

"After dark, shine the fairy lantern over there and see if they still dare not believe in fairies." Cao'er's mother also knew that Wu Yan was now the leader among the men. After much struggle, she finally felt that she was too busy to replace Wu Yan's role, so her attitude changed a lot.

Cao'er's mother: "Take Cao'er with you when you leave, and I will give you some advice."

Everyone was stunned, Wu Yan whispered: "Auntie Li, Cao'er is a girl, it's not convenient for her to travel with a group of grown men like us."

Cao'er's mother was not afraid that her daughter would suffer any harm. After all, the immortal was there. If these people dared to do anything to Cao'er on the road, they would have to die outside. No one believed in the immortal's power more than her.

"This is my only girl!" Cao'er's mother sighed, "When I'm here, she can still look after her. If I'm gone, what will she do?"

Wu Yan: "Even if you're not here, can't the grass still be swept here?"

Cao'er's mother shook her head: "She is weak and has no ideas of her own. I can't protect her for long until she stands up for herself."

"Take her out and don't take care of her too much. Let her make more decisions on her own and suffer more." Cao'er's mother had a loving motherly heart.

"You guys can divide these things up."

Cao'er's mother took out a plastic box. She helped Ye Zhou solve his problems, and Ye Zhou did not treat her badly and gave her a lot of things.

Cao'er's mother took out the things one by one.

There are crystal balls that can sing, gold-plated dolls, and many other small things.

Ye Zhou gave these to her because he saw that she wanted them. Here, Cao'er's mother has the most assets.

Others would not buy these things even if they got their wages, and would rather buy food and clothes.

"Why did you think of asking her to go out with us?" Wu Yan didn't take the things, but asked curiously.

Cao'er's mother looked at the place not far away where Cao'er was weaving grasshoppers with Sarah. Her eyes softened and she said softly, "Although Sarah is a monster, she is also a girl. She has a lot of experience, so she is not afraid of anything."

"Even if Sarah travels far away, her parents will definitely not worry about her." Cao'er's mother, "Parents can protect their children for a while, but can they protect them for a lifetime?"

"Besides, getting married is difficult nowadays. If Cao'er never gets married, will she stay in the supermarket forever and not dare to go out?" Cao'er's mother looked at Wu Yan, "You have a daughter too, you understand."

Wu Yan finally nodded.

He thought of his girl.

Although his daughter was still a baby, he believed that she had already stepped into the realm of immortality.

In this case, she is no longer an ordinary girl, and she must not be an illiterate village girl in the future. He agrees with Cao'er's mother's words that the girl must also stand up for herself.

If his Wu family could produce a fairy, it would bring honor to the family!

So Wu Yan took the golden doll from Cao'er's mother, and when the others saw Wu Yan reaching out his hand, they also took something.

Cao'er's mother's expression finally relaxed. She smiled and said to the others, "If you have daughters in your families, don't be afraid that they will suffer. In the past, you could expect your daughters to marry into a good family, but that's not the case now."

The others took Cao'er's mother's words to heart and said, "What Aunt Li said makes sense, but my daughter is still young. Let's wait until she's twelve before taking her out."

"My daughter was a good tree climber when she was in the village. I used to worry that she might fall and get hurt. Now she can practice. Climbing trees is a skill."

"My daughter learned embroidery before, but she didn't learn anything good. She embroidered a mandarin duck as a duck, which didn't even look like a duck. She doesn't have the ability to embroider. Why don't you let my daughter learn to climb trees from your daughter?"

Cao'er's mother said happily: "I knew you were all good!"

When she was in the village, girls in every household were not valued. Their parents raised them mostly to make them work, and when they got married off when they were old enough, they would earn money for the family. As for how the girls would live in the future, they generally did not care.

After all, the family has limited land, money and food, and the parents' energy is also limited. They have to take care of the boy who can carry on the family line, so how can they take care of the girl?

These men did not abandon their girls at the critical moment, which shows that they valued them.

Only then did she ask if they could take Cao'er with them.

"That Sarah, is she really a monster? I think she looks like a Hu person." Wu Yan asked curiously while eating jerky.

Cao'er's mother said seriously: "The leech demon said that she needs to suck blood to survive. She only eats blood sausage when she eats with us these days."

"She looks so weird! Why would someone have such a high nose?!"

"The eyes are strange too, they are red."

"The monsters in the storybooks don't look like this."

Cao'er's mother: "She lives in the demon world, and she doesn't know what the demon world is like."

Now Cao'er's mother has become much braver. She thinks she is not afraid of Sarah, but even all monsters.

Men: "I heard that male monsters are all green-faced monsters with fangs, and female monsters look like humans."

"Just because Sarah is a good monster doesn't mean monsters aren't scary."

"You made it wrong." Cao'er stopped weaving the grasshopper and came over to instruct Sarah, "You need to pass the grass through this side."

But Sarah couldn't get through, and Cao'er said anxiously, "Oh no! Wrong again!"

Sarah handed the unfinished product in her hand to Cao'er: "Help me put it on."

Cao Er took it and sighed, "Hey, watch it, it should be like this."

As Cao'er was making up the story, she asked, "Are your parents not good to you?"

Sarah: "I only have a mother, not a father."

Cao'er said hurriedly: "I didn't mean it..."

Sarah waved her hands: "It's nothing. I have a mother anyway, which is the same as having nothing."

Cao'er: "..."

She now felt sorry for Sarah. Her mother was a widow and was not kind to her. It was obvious that even monsters have their own problems.

"You still have brothers." Cao'er comforted her, "Although they are not nice to you now, as long as you are nice to them, they will be nice to you."

Sarah stared at Cao'er's movements intently, and said nonchalantly, "One day I will kill them all."

Cao'er's hands trembled, and the grasshopper she had almost finished weaving fell to the ground. She looked at Sarah in shock: "You, you..."

Sarah said as a matter of course: "I only have one mother, and her property is so limited. They are not kind to me. How can I get the property if I don't kill them all?"

Cao'er: "..."

Sarah: "Are you done with it? It's ready now? You're amazing."

Although it is made of straw, if you put it on the ground and press its tail, the grasshopper will jump up.

Even if it was just one jump, it was still considered ingenious in Sarah's opinion.

Cao'er: "...No, you are more powerful."

"They once pushed me into the sewage," Sarah said, looking at the grasshopper. "They cut off my arms and legs and threw me in the basement. They also pulled out my internal organs. They treated me like this. Why should I be nice to them?"

Cao'er was frightened and panicked: "Why would they do this to you?!"

Sarah's expression did not change. She just answered calmly, "Because I am the weakest, they think I am the shame of the family and a defective product that should be eliminated. It seems that if they kill me, the family will become stronger. Don't you think it's funny?"

"But they couldn't kill me." Sarah's lips curled slightly, "So I'm going to kill them."

"I will make them suffer the same pain I suffered before I kill them."

Sarah asked her back, "If your brothers beat you up every day and wanted to kill you, would you still be nice to them?"

Cao'er: "I will die with them!"

Although Cao'er was born in the countryside and was the eldest daughter, her parents had never treated her badly, and her brothers and sisters were willing to listen to her. Even if they occasionally acted up, they never hurt her. She felt that she would definitely not be able to stand the grievances that Sarah said.

Sarah laughed and said, "You're the first one to say that."

"No, it's the second one."

"I will protect you from now on." Sarah said suddenly, "You are my little sister now."

Cao'er was a little hesitant. She had never heard of women swearing marriage vows, only adopting godparents. "Then you have to recognize my mother as your godmother."

"Besides...you look younger than me."

In the end, Sarah did not recognize her as her godmother, but Cao'er still recognized Sarah as her godsister.

·

The six horses still appeared at midnight accompanied by a burst of light. The chestnut horses were fat and strong, and looked very majestic. They were completely different from the horses that Lin You and his companions rode when they came. Those horses were not so tall and strong, and did not have such smooth fur.

Although Ye Zhou doesn't know how to ride a horse, horses seem to be animals that naturally possess strength and beauty that can move people's hearts.

Ye Zhou gently stroked a tuft of hair on the horse's head. If he knew how to ride a horse, he would definitely ride it for a run.

There was no way, Ye Zhou didn’t have time to learn horse riding when he was in school.

What's more, the system is incredibly considerate. In addition to delivering the horses, the hooves have also been nailed and the saddles have been installed, just waiting for someone to mount the horses and gallop across the mountains and rivers.

"I want to learn how to ride a horse!" Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming excitedly. He asked, "Can you ride?"

Zou Ming: “Yes.”

Ye Zhou asked: "Did you learn this when you took on a job before?"

Zou Ming nodded: "Many planes only have donkeys, horses and cows as means of transportation, and some planes don't even have mules."

Ye Zhou imagined what Zou Ming looked like riding a donkey.

Well... let's just ride a horse.

"By the way...can Wu Yan and the others ride horses?" Ye Zhou suddenly thought of this question.

Zou Ming didn't care: "Even if they can't ride a horse, they can still lead a horse."

In order to transport water and food, Ye Zhou also bought a wooden carriage that can be pulled by horses. The wheels are air-bag wheels, which are much larger than ordinary tires. They can be driven on all kinds of road conditions without worrying about the tires getting punctured, and the weight of the carriage can be dispersed.

The introduction clearly states that a large truck using this type of tire will not cause any harm to a person even if it runs over him.

Originally Ye Zhou thought this was a product of the future world, but when he looked at its "age", he found that the tire was older than it.

The wagons were filled with food and water, not only for the people but also for the horses.

I just hope those people are nicer to horses. It would be so sad if such a handsome horse died.

What Ye Zhou didn't expect was that in addition to Wu Yan and his friends, Cao'er and Sarah would also go to "deliver the goods" this time.

If Cao'er was the only woman, he would not dare to let her go on the road with a group of men. This is a very realistic problem. Even if he thinks Wu Yan and the others are good people, as long as there is something that makes him feel uneasy, he will not ignore Cao'er's personal safety.

But when Sarah learned that Cao'er was going, she volunteered. Only with Sarah around did Ye Zhou nod.

Although he had never seen Sarah use force, she was still a vampire, no matter how bad she was, she should at least be capable. Besides, Sarah was not a teenage girl, so if she was willing to go, she must be confident enough.

Young people are easily passionate, but adults still need to have a plan for success in their hearts.

"Since you are going with them, why don't you learn to ride a horse together?" Ye Zhou touched the horse's head reluctantly, "This is an important skill."

Because Cao'er was nearby, Ye Zhou deliberately lowered his voice when speaking to Zou Ming just now.

Sarah: “I can ride a horse.”

Cao'er whispered timidly, "I can ride a cow."

How could a cowherd not know how to ride a cow?

Ye Zhou: “…”

My goodness, I don’t know anything myself.

Cao'er looked at Ye Zhou touching the horse and felt that the immortal even had pity on the horse.

Maybe for these horses, following those people is a good place to go.

Maybe Ma can also achieve great things!

Cao'er herself didn't expect that her mother would force her into Wu Yan's team - she was afraid and didn't want to go out, but she was used to listening to her mother and didn't dare to argue or say that she would not go.

So Cao'er had no choice but to choose his weapon obediently, and it took him a long time to choose the repeating crossbow.

It's not that she has any special experience in shooting. After all, she has never shot down many birds with a slingshot since she was a child. But she chose a rapid-fire crossbow so that she doesn't have to engage in close combat with others.

Cao'er couldn't understand her mother's good intentions and just felt that her mother thought she was useless.

Fortunately, there is a sister who is willing to go out with her.

Cao'er held Sarah's hand tightly and whispered, "Sister, I'm scared."

Sarah patted the back of Cao'er's hand with her other hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. If anyone dares to touch you, I will kill his entire family."

Cao'er: "..."

She became even more scared.

Sarah found the joy of being a sister. Even if Cao'er said she wanted to reach the moon, she could say "Sister will help you."

If it weren't for the contract, Sarah would have wanted to give Cao'er a bite directly.

This way she is no longer a sister and can become a mother painlessly.
