Starve!!

“What does this mean, young lady?” The voice of the woman in red was a bit hoarse, but her smile was charming. He has dusty air about him. Although he was quite handsome, he made others a little uncomfortable.
Ning Yue protected Xiaochen behind her and replied calmly, “Sorry, my brother accidentally got lost with us. Now that I see it here, I stop to pick it up.”
The smile of the woman in red was fading. “Betulkah? But your brother is one of us now.”
The man in charge of driving also spoke up. “Oh, we picked him up. He's been eating our food and drinking our water for a while. He hasn't even returned any payment to us, and you want to take him away? In your dreams!”
!!
She picked? Did Xiaochen and First Aunt go their separate ways?
Ning Yue could not ask Xiaochen now. He had to send these people away.
“Thank you very much. Brother, why didn't you mention the price? We will give you whatever we can. Think of it as a thank you for taking care of my sister all this time.” Ning Yue did not speak rudely or arrogantly. He's not scared at all.
Instincts good. These people are not dangerous. They might be sent here to be thieves or beggars.
They want money or food, not life.
Since they were able to raise Xiaochen, they would not kill him easily. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just cook it?
The woman in red coughed twice, then looked at Ning Yue and said, “Twenty taels of silver.”
Twenty taels of silver! Even someone like Ning Yue, who was ignorant of the current currency, knew that it was a large sum of money. Back then, he had only found a tiny bit of silver from the two people who had kidnapped him. Twenty taels of silver was just a fantasy.
Those are not two stories, let alone twenty.
Ning Yue looked around. Many people surrounded him, as if they were asking about him. If he could really take out twenty taels, he would probably be torn to shreds here.
It would also bring trouble for the other Ning family members.
Ning Yue's mind raced, and then she had an idea. She smiles. “Kakak, we also escaped from the wilderness. We don't have any money on us. I only have half a dry biscuit here. Can I exchange it for my brother?
The man behind the wheel sneered back. “Do you play with us, *****small*?”
“What are you doing?” Seeing the man was about to attack, Third Brother Ning immediately protected Ning Yue, but he was not as strong as the man.
“Our family is all there. Why don't you try it?” Ning Laosan pointed to a group of people from the Ning Family Village as a form of confidence.
The man glanced towards the villagers and frowned. There are so many people?
Old Master Ning and the others were also staring at them. Once there was a conflict, they would immediately come forward to save them.
“Ahem... Miss, in this day and age, twenty taels of silver for your brother's life is not considered expensive, right?” The woman in red looked unwell and occasionally coughed.
Ning Yue had an idea. “Silver, I think your throat is very uncomfortable. I know a little about medicine. What if I treat you as a gift?
Sure enough, the woman in red asked suspiciously, “You can cure me?”
He had been coughing for many years, and all kinds of medicine failed to cure him. Sometimes he even started coughing up blood.
“I will try. I guarantee it will be effective right then and there! Ning Yue was very confident that this woman was suffering from chronic pharyngitis and was very serious.
“Alright, I can let you try. If you do not succeed, pay 20 taels of silver obediently.” The woman in red was a brothel and a prostitute. His voice was very important, so it was worth it.
Third Brother Ning watched from the side and was very worried, but Ning Yue did not panic at all. He took out the silver needle bag he was carrying from his bag and looked at the silver needle. The woman in red was frowning.
Ning Yue calmed down and started taking care of the woman in red. After a while, the woman in red felt a scratch in her throat. He coughed violently and finally vomited a mouthful of blood.
“You seek death!” The man was instantly enraged, thinking that Ning Yue had intentionally done so.
“Sister, do you feel much better?” Ning Yue asked calmly.
After the woman in red vomited blood, her voice became clearer as she spoke, and the dryness in her throat diminished a lot. Ning Yue took out a cure for chronic pharyngitis from her space with her mind and pretended to take it out of her bag. “Take one of each of these small pills three times a day. You'll be fine in half a month.
