Fang Nian was still kneeling.
The remaining three were Aunt Mo, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Yang. Of the three, Aunt Mo had long been alone, without relatives or children. If Zhou Jiaojiao and the others hadn't rescued her, she would have died long ago. She was confused for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Master, I have no hope anymore. Even if you don't want me, I won't survive."
She knew that she was old and it was normal for her to be looked down upon, so she kowtowed to him and said, "Master, no matter what, thank you for saving my life."
Chu San took a look and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked up and asked what Uncle Wu and Uncle Yang meant.
Uncle Yang glanced at the indenture and said, "Master, I don't want to leave. If I leave, who will help you with the chores? Don't worry, whether I'm watching the horses or the luggage, I won't make any mistakes. Please, master, please let me stay."
Chu San stared at him, as if he could see through him.
Uncle Yang felt a little uncomfortable, his eyes dodged for a moment, and he subconsciously lowered his head.
"Go away, I'll give you a chance." Chu San's voice was quite calm, but a hint of anger could be heard in it.
Uncle Yang's face changed slightly. He instinctively opened his mouth to make some excuses, but when he met Chu San's sarcastic gaze, he was instantly speechless and stood up somewhat angrily, "Master, I..."
"I spent two taels of silver to buy you, plus the food and clothing expenses along the way, so I'll count you as one tael of silver. You also helped us guard the luggage, which is your contribution, and it should be regarded as offsetting my efforts to protect you. Now you only need to give me three taels of silver to redeem the indenture, otherwise I will have to send you to the pawnshop." Chu San said this in front of several people.
He was so ruthless and decisive that Fang Nian looked up in surprise.
Uncle Yang was a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Master, didn't you let Hu Liuzi leave? Why are you making things difficult for me now that it's my turn? I'm old, weak, and injured. Can't you have some pity on me and consider me..."
"Since you accepted money from outsiders and wanted to be my spy, I won't pursue any action against you?" Chu San interrupted him and asked with a smile.
Uncle Yang's face changed instantly, turning pale, and he was obviously feeling guilty and anxious.
When Fang Nian, who was standing next to him, heard this, his eyes widened and he suddenly rushed over and punched him. Uncle Yang was beaten so hard that his nose was bleeding. He screamed in pain but could only beg for mercy.
After beating the man up, Fang Nian himself was exhausted and out of breath.
Chu San gave Uncle Yang a ruthless look and almost took away all the silver in his hands and on his body. It was no different from when he rescued the team. He was not angry, but just coldly excluded the other party from his own world, as if to end this bad relationship.
"Go away. Since you have no intention of hurting me, I will let you go." Chu San looked at him and said calmly.
Uncle Yang's body trembled. He took the indenture contract and felt guilty, so he didn't dare to look Chu San in the eye. He limped away.
Fang Nian was a little unconvinced, "Boss, you're just going to let him go like that?"
"Who told you to do it?" Chu San frowned.
Fang Nian felt wronged instantly, but he didn't dare to say that Chu San was wrong. He squatted down and was so unhappy.
Chu San looked at Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu sighed and said, "Master, you're right. It's best not to keep strangers around you right now. While they won't harm you, they'll still be a nuisance. I, an old man, had already decided to follow you, and I won't leave now. I believe Master should have other options for us."
I have to say that Uncle Wu is a very smart old man, but he usually doesn't say much except driving the car.
Chu San didn't mind being seen through by him, and said calmly: "Since you don't want to leave, then I won't give you another chance. Your indentures are in my hands. If you betray me in the future, it will be easy to deal with you, so..."
"Boss, I won't betray you. Following you is much better than following outsiders. I don't trust anyone else." Fang Nian curled his lips.
"Okay, then you all follow me and leave."
Chu San eliminated the traitor and didn't intend to waste time, so he assigned tasks to the three people.
Seeing him about to leave, Fang Nian quickly grabbed him and said, "Boss, Chu Qi has left. What will happen to those orphans who followed him?"
"I'll leave it to Lord Mo to arrange. I can still get a meal if I stay in Yuzhou."
"Oh." Fang Nian didn't say anything more.
Chu San returned to the courtyard. Chu's mother and the others had already returned. When she heard that they were leaving, she immediately said, "Then I'll go buy some food for the journey."
Chu San didn't stop him.
He had some space on his hands, so he went to find Lord Mo.
When Chu San saw Lord Mo, he directly explained his purpose, "Lord Mo, I would like to trouble you to help some villagers in our village settle down."
"That's no problem. Miss Zhou told me a long time ago."
"I have one more thing, I want some food and daily necessities."
Lord Mo understood immediately and subconsciously looked at him, "Brother Chu, are you planning to put it into the space?"
Chu San hummed.
He didn't go looking for food himself so that he could hide more easily and avoid being noticed by outsiders.
Lord Mo opened his mouth and said, "Miss Zhou left quickly before, and there's something I forgot to mention. This time, she was putting out the fire and exposed the existence of the small space. Although those secret guards didn't take the artifact fragments, they knew it was a valuable item."
"So if you leave, there will definitely be a lot of people watching you."
"I've contacted General Xie, and I think he'll arrange for someone to escort you to Youzhou."
If Yuzhou was not short of troops, General Xie wouldn't have to make arrangements.
Chu San understood what he meant instantly. Since General Xie had transferred troops from the border, he was ready to go with the flow.
This time he really left. After Zhou Jiaojiao woke up, she found an opportunity and gave the method of making penicillin to Imperial Physician Liu.
"Doctor Liu, you're half my master. This is specifically for treating wound inflammation. I boldly experimented with it based on some old books. I didn't expect it to be so effective. Keep it. You can pass it on or give it to anyone else in the future."
For Zhou Jiaojiao, medical skills should not be kept secret. Only by spreading them can more people be saved.
Doctor Liu was holding a thin manuscript and a culture vessel, his hands shaking with excitement.
"Jiaojiao, you..."
"I accept your kindness." Doctor Liu didn't know how many words he said to praise her. Seeing Zhou Jiaojiao's smile, he asked Zhou Jiaojiao to write her name on the manuscript without hesitation.
"Once this gets out, everyone will know it was invented by you. This will make your name known through the ages, so don't miss out."
