Chapter 1679 Extra: Ome (19)

The sound of shouting, beating, and killing was annihilated in an instant in the quiet night.

Of the dozen or so people who came, no teenager was firmly tied to the tree trunk by the side of the road.

"I don't listen to you when you talk nicely and insist on beating me. Is it sick?" Wiping off the dust on his hands, Croton took a few steps back, "Your lair should be nearby, right? Since you don't want to show the way, then I found it by myself. But I guess you should be the main force in the lair, and even you are not my opponent, the rest of you in the lair, I don’t know if they are enough for me to squeeze with my fingers.”

"What do you want to do!" Bound tightly, unable to struggle, the leader shouted angrily.

"I just wanted to find something to eat and some water to drink. I said at the beginning that I would pay you money to buy it from you, but you didn't do it."

"Our village is so poor that we don't have anything to eat, so where can we sell it to you! If you are a man, don't bully the old, the weak, women and children!"

Glancing at him, Croton snorted and walked away.

As expected, after following the traces left by those people, they saw a small village at the foot of the mountain, with a total of about twenty families.

Standing quietly at the entrance of the village for a while, Croton stepped into the village and knocked on the door of a family at random.

When the dozen or so villagers who were tied up on the other side of the mountain were rescued and looked at the broken silver brought out by the mother-in-law, their expressions were indescribable.

That boy really came to their village, and he really paid for food.

He didn't beat them up, and he didn't take revenge on the old, weak, women and children in the village.

At this time, Croton had already walked out of the barren hills, and arrived at the first small town outside the border city, where he sat in the inn and ate happily.

From time to time, he touched the purse at his waist and sighed while eating.

He is too poor.

After walking to the robber village, there was only two liang of silver left when he came out. With this little silver, Croton felt that he could not reach the capital.

"Xiao Er, come here, do you have any jobs in this town that can make money? It's better to be a part-time job, including food and lodging?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Oh, the guest officer wants to find a job, so he asked someone. There is no place in this town that I don't know. If you want to find a short-term job, it's easy to find! East of the town There are sandbag bearers at the pier, and if you carry 300 sandbags a day, you can earn 30 copper coins!"

Croton, "..." Waved goodbye to Xiao Er, life is hopeless.

Three hundred sandbags and thirty copper coins? Not even a fraction of what he is eating now.

How are you going?

After coming out of the inn, Croton wandered around the whole town, and finally gritted his teeth and entered the largest pharmacy in the town.

"What did you say? Say it again?" Croton thought he was deaf and misheard.

"Ten pennies a pill, if you sell the whole bottle, I'll give you two hundred and twenty bucks for twenty pills." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy behind the counter weighed heavily again.

"You really sell medicinal materials? Do you understand medicine? Do you know what it is? The typhoid medicine developed by the world-renowned doctor Liu himself! The medicine will cure the disease and prevent the disease! You will pay ten cents?"

"The typhoid medicinal materials in our store only cost eight pennies a pair, and they can cure the disease. Besides, in small towns, people spend a penny and break them in half. Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy typhoid fever?" Medicine?" The shopkeeper paused for a moment, "Also, Miracle Doctor Liu is a well-known figure in the world. The medicine she made is hard to find outside. You, a young boy, hold a bottle of medicine and say it was made by Miracle Liu. If it is true Yes, you will come to this old man's small temple to sell medicine? ... I have seen a lot of liars like you, so I won't give them away when I go out."
