Chapter 109 A Man's Request for Help
The man looked at his lifeless sister in his arms, and the resentment in his heart reached its peak, but reality forced him to let go of his obsession and kneel down towards Du Yapo.
"beg......"
"Hey, don't beg me. Your sister is a discerning person and can tell at a glance that she won't live long. Why waste it..."
Du Yapo refused without thinking.
The man held his sister tightly in his arms and let out a long roar to the sky, as if he wanted to roar out all the raging anger and strong unwillingness in his heart.
Qu Jingyao looked at this stubborn and resolute man, who had to endure humiliation for the sake of his family and bow his head to an unfair fate...
"You still think you're refusing to be bought. Don't blame me for being rude. I'll crush you like an ant!"
Du Yapo's words deeply hurt the man's heart.
He raised his head unwillingly, and when his angry eyes swept over Qu Jingyao, he was stunned.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Let's go." Du Yapo said to Qu Jingyao with an apologetic smile and extended her hand as an invitation.
She curved her eyes, nodded, and followed the matchmaker out of the yard.
When she passed by the man, her feet were suddenly grabbed by him.
"Please... please buy me and my sister. I will work like slaves to repay you in the future."
Qu Jingyao staggered, but fortunately Du Yapo was quick enough to grab her arm.
She really didn't expect the man to hold her back.
"You're courting death, aren't you? If you offend my distinguished guests again, I'll skin you alive."
After saying that, he called the servant beside him to drag the brother and sister away.
"Girl... Aunt..."
Qu Jingyao stared quietly at the man's eyes full of expectation but unwillingness, and smiled coldly:
"Why do you think I would buy you and your sister? It's obviously not a good deal."
Hearing her words, the man was obviously stunned for a moment, and the light in his eyes was instantly extinguished when he lowered his head to look at the bloodless face of his sister in his arms.
He pressed his hands on the ground, tightening his grip on the bluestone slab little by little. His fingertips were rubbed with blood, but he didn't even blink.
For the sake of his sister, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then spoke firmly to Qu Jingyao:
"As long as the girl can buy us brothers and sisters, it will definitely be worth the money and she will not be disappointed."
Before Qu Jingyao could speak, the man spoke again. The girl might not lack attendants, so he would do a good deed today...
"Come quickly and drag him away." Du Yapo smiled awkwardly at Qu Jingyao.
When the servant came over, Qu Jingyao squatted down and put his hand on the girl's wrist.
"If you don't save your sister, there's really no way to save her."
The man's eyes widened in surprise and blurted out anxiously:
"Miss, do you know medicine? Can you save my sister?" The man kowtowed in front of her.
The corner of Qu Jingyao's mouth twitched. She didn't know any medical skills at all. This was just a new skill she acquired after leveling up.
By taking the patient's pulse, Manman can accurately tell the cause of the disease.
"Please girl..."
Just as Du Yapo cursed in anger, Qu Jingyao asked in a low voice in his ear:
"You brothers and sisters all know Kung Fu?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and glanced at the old lady Du, and saw that she was angrily scolding the servant beside her. Then he nodded towards Qu Jingyao.
"I can save her, but how will you repay me?"
"As long as you can save my sister, my brother and I will be loyal to our master for the rest of our lives. We will never betray him and will go through fire and water for him."
The man swore an oath in front of her.
Qu Jingyao also repeatedly weighed the man's value in her heart, and only then did she deliberately walk past him when Du Yapo invited her.
"Mrs. Du, how much silver do you think the brother and sister want?"
Du Ya Po didn't expect that the person in front of her would actually buy them. She was so happy that she couldn't contain herself. However, she reminded him:
"Miss, the doctor who treated this sister before also said that she wasn't sick, but was poisoned. This poison is very difficult to treat and there is no antidote..."
Qu Jingyao smiled and thanked the matchmaker for the reminder, but as the saying goes, if you do one good deed a day, even if good fortune has not yet arrived, misfortune will be far away. So she should just consider it as accumulating blessings and longevity for the elders in her family.
"Girl is so kind!"
"Du Ya Po, you are too kind to praise these two siblings..."
A gleam of light flashed across Du Yapo's eyes, and she smiled at the corner of her lips, saying:
"Given the young lady's kindness, I, Du Ya Po, cannot be ungrateful. This girl could have been sold for thirty taels of silver.
If she wasn't so sick, she would have been bought by some wealthy family as a concubine for at least this amount, and the young lady wouldn't have let me lose money. This medicine cost a lot of money..."
Qu Jingyao frowned and said impatiently:
"How many?"
"Forty-five taels, no less."
"Thirty taels. I don't know if this one can be saved, and the other one is covered in wounds from your beatings. I'm sure no matter who you sell it to, they won't be taken advantage of, right?"
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, she stared at Du Yapo with her eyes as sharp as torches until a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face.
She thought that this little girl, who was alone and not from the capital, would be easy to fool, but she didn't expect...
"Okay, thirty is thirty. You are really a... I have lost a lot this time." Grandma Du said with gritted teeth.
When the man heard that the brother and sister were sold for only thirty taels, he felt sad.
Qu Jingyao had just finished finalizing the deal with Du Yapo when she heard the man's voice again.
"I beg you, Master, to buy the other one as well."
Qu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened. Seeing this, Du Yapo quickly scolded him for being ungrateful. She was really afraid that this stubborn person would ruin the deal.
Qu Jingyao reached out to stop Du Yapo from saying anything else, raised the corners of her lips with a half-smile, leaned closer to the man, and asked:
"Why do you think I'm such a kind-hearted person?"
The man knew that if he made the request again, it would probably anger his master, but he had no choice at the moment and could only go ahead with it.
"Master, it's well worth saving him. He used to be your servant, but he has great talent for business."
When Qu Jingyao heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, which made her heart beat a little.
Then she stood up straight, looked down at the man, and reminded him again not to forget what she said today, otherwise she wouldn't mind destroying him.
The man was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. He kowtowed to her happily like a child until blood oozed from his forehead.
"Alright, you're getting more injuries, and my master is going to have to spend more money."
She immediately asked the matchmaker to bring the person out and buy him together.
Grandma Du signaled the servant to go to the backyard and bring the man out.
Qu Jingyao asked the man to hold her sister up first and stuffed a black pill into the girl's mouth.
This was just given to her by Manman, and it is just enough to detoxify her.
"Master, servant sister..."
"Your sister will wake up soon. You can just take care of her in the future."
The light in the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over to thank her.
