The bold Gu Xinran approached slowly, and Duan Yunchi followed behind with a serious face. Both of them felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in their hearts.
Duan Yunchi felt even worse. Ming Zhan was also like this when the poison first took effect, but he was even crazier.
Wang Yatou saw the distinguished guest heading towards the madman and hurriedly warned him loudly, "Don't approach him, don't provoke him, be careful not to let him get angry and hurt people."
Seeing them getting closer, the scarred boy stepped in front of them and said coldly, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"
Gu Xinran stopped a few meters away from the five crazy people, squatted down and observed carefully.
He growled, his face was distorted, and veins bulged, somewhat similar to when Xiao Mingzhan was sick.
But he was conscious and able to suppress the symptoms, so they were much milder. It should not be the same poison.
Meeting is destiny. Seeing him in so much pain, please help him.
After the condition is under control, ask about the cause. What if it's also a Gu poison? Even if it's not the same Gu, it won't hurt to learn more.
Gu Xinran stood up and took out a ginseng and antler pill. It contained a lot of spiritual spring water, which would be effective whether you were sick or poisoned.
She shouted to the scarred boy, "I have an antidote pill here. Try feeding it to him."
A glimmer of light flashed in the scarred boy's eyes, but it was extinguished in an instant. "It's useless. The poison my brother was infected with is extraordinary."
Gu Xinran thought to herself that it must be poison, then it must be effective, even if it is a Gu poison, it can have an inhibitory effect.
"This isn't just any detoxifying pill. There's no harm in trying it. Why are you just going to watch your brother suffer like this?"
Just at this moment, the fifth madman let out a loud roar, held his head and banged it against the ground, and blood was everywhere in a few seconds.
The scarred boy's eyes were bloodshot. He jumped a few meters away and hugged the madman tightly to prevent him from hurting himself again.
He softly soothed her, "Fifth brother, bear with it a little longer. It will soon be over. We will definitely find a way to save you."
The five madmen lost their freedom and became even more violent.
He felt like he was split into two people, one who told him to calm down and not hurt himself or others; the other who wanted to destroy everything he saw.
He was in excruciating pain as he was being tormented, and howled loudly: "Lingyun, kill me! Please..."
Gu Xinran couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she took a deep breath, rushed to them in two steps, and shot a ginseng and antler pill accurately into his howling mouth.
The fifth madman swallowed it without warning. He didn't know what he had eaten, but his mind soon became clear and his brutality subsided.
He stared blankly at the girl who secretly fed him the pills, feeling ecstatic. Even ants try to survive, let alone him, who still has unfinished business and grudges to take.
The scarred boy was very angry at first. He stared at Gu Xinran with red eyes, hating her reckless behavior.
But when he noticed that the struggle in his arms had weakened and his fifth brother had regained consciousness, his expression changed instantly.
He released the five lunatics who had regained consciousness, quickly opened their handcuffs and anklets, then stood in front of Gu Xinran and bowed, forcing a strange smile on his scarred face.
"Thank you, Miss Lingyun, for saving my fifth brother. I beg you to buy us out. I am willing to work like a slave to protect your safety."
Gu Xinran was about to speak when her mother, trembling slightly, walked over to her, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Ranran, do you really want to buy them home? They're scary."
Duan Yunchi saw his aunt trembling and quickly supported her arm. Gu Xinran held her mother's other hand and whispered, "Mom, you saw it, he jumped over the five-meter distance just now. He's an expert. It's worth buying him to guard the house."
Mother Gu turned her head and glanced at the two of them again, then immediately looked away. One of them was sick and the other was ugly, and they were hard to look at.
But she knew her daughter's personality, and because she was usually reliable, she let her go.
He nodded helplessly and returned to where he was standing.
Duan Yunchi didn't object and said, "If Aunt doesn't like it, I can buy it back."
Gu Xinran was unmoved. Instead, she glared at him and said, "Don't try to steal my girl from me. Didn't you see my mother just nodded?"
Duan Yunchi shut up angrily, he didn't know how to appreciate a good person.
The recovered Wu Lunzi dusted himself off and walked weakly to Gu Xinran. He stood with Ling Yun and saluted, "Ms. Liao Wu thanks you for the medicine."
His messy hair and beard covered three-quarters of his face. The little bit of his eyebrows and eyes that were exposed didn't make him look ugly. He was quite tall, and his voice didn't sound like that of a middle-aged man.
Gu Xinran looked at him and said, "It's just a small favor, no need to mention it. Are you willing to be my guard?"
Before Liao Wu could respond, Wang Yatou spoke first, "If they are willing, then they get to choose. Even though he's sick now, under normal circumstances, he can easily lift that 600-pound millstone."
After saying this, he pointed to the huge millstone beside the porch.
Wang Yatou's face was so bright that it turned into a flower. He didn't expect that such a big enemy would appear! There was still a chance to make a profit from these two hot potatoes.
Gu Xinran glanced at the millstone and saw that it indeed weighed several hundred pounds, but she would not be fooled by these words.
He sighed and said, "What's the use of just being strong? His illness is too serious. The other one would scare children to tears when they see him.
How much do they want? If it's cheap, I might consider taking them. Oh, and those ten people I just picked, give me a price for them too."
Seeing that the backyard was in a mess, Wang Yatou knew they had to go to another place to negotiate the price, so he hurriedly asked them to go back to the hall.
The Scar Duo also followed in and stood in a far corner, looking in the direction of Gu Xinran with light in their eyes.
Wang Yatou invited them to drink tea and eat snacks, and then he began to quote the price, "Yu Zhuangtou is fifty taels, a strong laborer is twenty-five taels, a maid is fifteen taels, and the two guards have defects, so I'll sell them to you for twenty taels each.
Normally, a good guard would charge fifty taels, but this time you guys are getting a great bargain."
Gu Xinran looked at Lai Fu. He was the one who bought the people in the Duan Mansion and he was very experienced. "Is this the price?"
Before Lai Fu could speak, Wang Yatou touched his chin awkwardly and said, "Brother Lai Fu bought a lot, so the price is more favorable.
Since we're acquaintances, I'll give you a discount. You'll pay 135 taels for six strong laborers, and the rest won't be any cheaper. You have to leave some profit for us, as we still have a lot of people waiting to be supported."
These are small amounts of money, but the joy of bargaining is more important than money.
Gu Xinran pretended to be in deep thought, then shook her head and said, "I've thought about it, and I don't want those two guards anymore."
Everyone had different expressions after hearing this. Wang Yatou reacted the most. How could she not want it! She had raised her for over a month and was about to get rid of her. She just needed this final push. She couldn't let her back down!
"No, Miss, let's discuss it again. It's really worthwhile to buy them.
I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I bought these two at a low price, but I've been keeping them for a long time, and I've even had to see a doctor. When they first got sick, everything in the house was smashed. Can I give them another five taels off?"
