A day and a night had passed since Old Lady Gui and Gui Jian teamed up to drug her unconscious and sold her to Butler Qian.
She was really worried that her parents would be so sad if they saw that she was missing and couldn't find her anywhere.
Thinking of this, Mengyue wished she could grow wings and fly away quickly.
[Save the woman from Jingyuan, gratitude value +100]
Mengyue was originally on her way quickly, but when she heard the voice of gratitude value +100, she immediately stopped.
Before Mengyue could call the system, Tuanzi was already jumping and cheering.
[Wow! The host is awesome! He saved over a dozen people at once. 100 points of gratitude added.]
Seeing Tuanzi so happy, Mengyue suddenly felt that this day and night of work was not in vain, and she felt that saving people was more fulfilling than killing people.
Everyone was happy for a while, then started on their way again.
Just after walking for less than a cup of tea, an exclamation came from the system.
【What's wrong, Tuanzi?】
Worried that something might be wrong with the system, Mengyue immediately stopped and sank into her consciousness.
Ever since she learned that she was bound to the system and had lived with it for such a long time, Mengyue had never seen such a cautious expression on the system's face.
Just as Mengyue was about to ask, the system opened its mouth wide, shocked beyond words.
[Host... Host, my clairaudience ability has been restored.]
Hearing Tuanzi say this, Mengyue knew that it was an action to increase gratitude value.
100 gratitude points can give Tuanzi the ability of super hearing. If there are more gratitude points, what other abilities will be restored? It is really exciting.
【Tuanzi, what's up with the super-ears?】
When it comes to what it can do, the system is very arrogant.
Tuanzi, hands on his hips, puffed out his round belly, tilted his head back, and said proudly, "Host, I can hear the voices and thoughts of everyone within a hundred meters. If anyone wants to harm you, or tells you how to harm you, they won't be able to hide it from me. From now on, I can protect you."
After saying this, he waited for the host to praise him.
What was surprising was that Mengyue actually heard the system's inner voice and clapped her hands a few times out of respect.
【Please protect me from now on! 】
Seeing that the host was willing to let it protect him, the system nodded modestly.
[No, I can't help it! Tuanzi, you're so cute.]
Seeing how cute Tuanzi was, Mengyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just when the atmosphere between Mengyue and the system was extremely warm, the system sounded an alarm.
【There is someone nearby who is not friendly to the host. 】
Afterwards, the system listened attentively and found that within a distance of 100 meters, there were six people on their way.
The leader walked in front, followed by five followers. Except for the leader, the others were holding an iron rod, giving people the feeling that they were not easy to mess with.
"Brother, do you think Jian can come up with a hundred taels of silver?"
The leader said: "It doesn't matter whether you can get it or not. Take it out and save the brothers from having to do it. If you can't get it out, hmph!"
The others understood what the eldest brother meant. Besides, people in their line of work were very familiar with collecting debts, so they knew what to do without the eldest brother's instructions.
"Hey! You say, Jian, a scholar, didn't study hard, but went to the gambling house, gambled away all the money he had, and even had the audacity to borrow money from high-priced loans."
"They are poor yet they dare to touch drugs. One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. I wonder if their family can come up with it."
A short, pointed-faced man in the crowd said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter if you can't produce it. The land deeds, house deeds, women and children can all be used to pay off the debt."
He touched his chin and continued, "My cousin from my aunt's grandmother's family is from Xinghua Village. I heard from him that my uncle Jian's biological daughter has come, and she came from the capital."
"Monkey, now that you mention it, I remember that there is indeed a fake rich girl from the capital in Xinghua Village. She is extremely beautiful and can make people fall in love with her at first sight. Could she be your niece?"
"You guessed right. I really hope the family can't come up with the silver. That way we'll have a legitimate reason to take her away and send her to Hongxiu Tower. Such a beautiful girl, we definitely can't let her go without a hundred taels of silver."
The man next to him continued, "Before we sell it to Hongxiu Tower, can we... Hehe, if we can spend a night with a girl from Beijing, this life will be worth it."
The man named Monkey gave the man a fierce kick and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Only unsophisticated girls can be sold at a high price if they are sent to Hongxiu Tower. Let me tell you, if you can't control your lower body and ruin our plans to make money, not only the boss, but I won't forgive you either."
The thug, whose head is full of yellow garbage, dared not show any dissatisfaction even if he was kicked when he saw the monkey getting angry.
After all, among Monkey and his group, except for the boss, the others are not only cruel but also very ruthless.
Even though monkeys are fighters just like them, they are still a little afraid of them.
Seeing that everyone had put away their lustful thoughts, Monkey smiled again. However, no matter how happy the smile was, there was something incongruous on his face, which was difficult to describe.
Afterwards, the monkey ran to the leader and said flatteringly, "Boss, we're taking this fake daughter from the capital away. She can't sleep, so can you let the brothers touch her first?"
"Monkey, have you ever thought that the family could come up with a hundred taels of silver?"
"Boss, are you kidding me? We brothers earn quite a bit of money, only 100 taels of silver a month. Even if we don't eat or drink, we still have to save 500 taels of silver. I've heard that your family is just an ordinary family. They used to have more land, but no matter how much the land produces, it can't compare to having a scholar in the family. From my guess, my family's studies must have almost emptied their family, otherwise they wouldn't have only lent 500 taels of silver."
"Plus, Jian was reported for cheating during an exam at the academy and was expelled. That's why he was in a bad mood and ended up in the casino."
The eldest brother listened to the monkey's words and pondered for a moment, thinking that they made sense. However, he was used to being cautious and careful, so he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, so he still gave the instructions.
"It's only an hour away, so keep your eyes open, brothers. If you can come up with a hundred taels, follow the rules of the underworld and take the money and leave. If not, the fake daughter will be ours."
"Yes, Boss."
[Oh my! Host, this is bad, this is bad, someone wants to sell you to Hongxiulou.]
