The beggar didn't seem to notice the guilty look in his eyes. He just nodded silently. "Yes! He wasn't feeling well at that time. He was in rags and fainted halfway through the journey. Luckily, a kind-hearted person passing by saw him and sent him to the clinic..."
Number 1 was very anxious when he heard this, and he wished he could grow wings and rush to Number 2. But he was afraid of missing the beggar's message, so he could only listen to him patiently.
In the barrage, the audience was almost in tears.
I'm speechless! I'm so sad! I finally understand why everyone loves to criticize streamers!
[Alas! Number 1 has been tricked! I don't know what this beggar is up to. I hope he doesn't cheat Number 1 out of all his money!]
I almost feel sorry for number 3! Number 3 gave most of his money to number 1, and not only did he not get anything done, he even got scammed...
"Not enough!" The beggar looked at the copper coins in his hand, smiled and shook his head.
No. 1 gritted his teeth and finally took out a silver ingot.
The beggar still smiled and shook his head: "Not enough."
"...How much do you want before you can tell me?" No. 1 said coldly, suppressing his anger.
"Ten taels." said the beggar with a smile.
"Ten taels?! Why don't you just go and rob?!" Number 1 gasped, "Don't ask for too much!"
After No. 3's explanation, he now knows exactly how much ten taels is. It is equivalent to the expenses of an ordinary family for three years!
The beggar smiled indifferently: "I don't care. It depends on how important that person is to you."
No. 1 looked at the beggar's smiling face, and the fire in his heart was burning, but thinking of No. 3's warning, he still held it back.
He took a deep breath, carefully took out the silver and counted it, and finally he had enough to give ten taels of silver to the beggar.
At this moment, everyone in the barrage was very...
[Alas! Next time I send someone in, I'll have to hire someone with a high IQ!]
[After being deceived so much, I hope No. 3 can calm down later.]
[Actually, I think #1 did a pretty good job! At least he followed #3's instructions and found the beggar. As for getting scammed... I can't really blame him. It's the scammers who are so infuriating!]
No. 1 was unaware of the audience's disappointment and listened silently to the beggar's words.
"...I chatted with him for a few minutes, and he said he was going to wander outside. When he left, he was heading southeast," the beggar pointed in a certain direction. "Be careful when you go there. I heard that the weather in the southeast is not very good, and many people are sick."
No. 1 listened to him carefully, tried his best to memorize all the information, and then said goodbye to the beggar and returned to the city gate.
However, when he reached the place where they parted, he found that No. 3 had fallen to the ground.
