Chapter 278 Acquaintance
All four cooks had cloth bags over their heads, making their faces unrecognizable; presumably, they were covered up to prevent the cooks from remembering their escape route.
Yang Jianwu bit a finger, looked left and right, and then looked at Tian Zhong with difficulty.
"Manager Tian, their faces are all covered, and I don't even know if the clothes they're wearing are their own. At the very least, you should let me see their faces, or at least their bodies, right?"
Tian Zhong laughed heartily, "Young man, you're right. Come to Cai Tou and help me take the cloth bags off their heads."
"Order!"
Cai Tou solved the mystery quickly, revealing the true faces of the four men. Although their mouths were gagged, it did not prevent him from recognizing their features.
Mo Ye and Hong Feng were startled; there was someone they knew!
He was the scholar who spoke a few kind words for Aunt Wu when the mass grave was burned!
Yang Jianwu was even more surprised than the others; she actually knew three of the four! If she were drinking tea, she would definitely have spat it out.
Besides the scholar, there were also the Shi siblings!
The scholar did not recognize that Yang Jianwu, who was disguised as a man, was the Ghost Doctor from that day. He had seen Mo Ye and Hong Feng before and knew that the two were Ning Wang's men!
"Uuuuu~"
The scholar pleaded for help from Mo Ye and Hong Feng. He had been locked up here for a day and had suffered enough. Whoever could rescue him would be his second parents!
Tian Zhong slapped the scholar hard across the face. "Shut up!"
The scholar still tried to resist, but after being hit several more times, he finally calmed down, staring at Mo Ye, hoping to escape his misery as soon as possible.
Seeing the scholar's appearance, Yang Jianwu wished she could slap him a few more times. Had he wasted all his knowledge?
At a time like this, instead of avoiding suspicion, they foolishly wanted to acknowledge each other!
The Shi siblings had seen Yang Jianwu dressed as a man before and recognized her.
Shi Yao just smiled foolishly, while Shi Rong looked at Yang Jianwu with pleading eyes. She had suffered a lot during the past few days of being locked up, and had also learned a rule that was not exactly a survival rule: as long as you behave, you won't get beaten.
Yang Jianwu looked at Shi Rong with a slight frown. She was curious as to why the Shi siblings were here. Hadn't they already gone to the city to stay with relatives?
Seeing Yang Jianwu frowning, Tian Zhong assumed he was dissatisfied with the few inexperienced people and began to vigorously promote each one.
Shi Rong was pushed out first, and Tian Zhong grabbed her hair, forcing her to raise her head.
"Young master, don't let her age fool you, this woman is still a virgin. Her flesh will be incredibly tender!"
As Tian Zhong spoke, he lewdly pinched Shi Rong's body a few times.
Yang Jianwu coughed twice, and Tian Zhong stopped. "Alright, I'll take this one!"
Tian Zhong pulled Shi Rong aside and then pushed Shi Yao out.
Shi Yao stumbled, but after regaining his balance, he yelled "Ugh ugh" at Tian Zhong, venting his dissatisfaction.
Tian Zhong slapped Shi Yao across the face, while Shi Yao obediently stayed to the side, grumbling and complaining.
Yang Jianwu pointed to her head and tentatively asked, "Is...is something wrong with him/her?"
Tian Zhong chuckled, "We mainly want to eat meat. Otherwise, what do you think about spending the money on this one's brain?"
Yang Jianwu remained silent, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered something. She was actually trying to buy Hongfeng time; she wondered how his investigation was going…
Fearing that Yang Jianwu would look down on the fool, Tian Zhong pulled open Shi Yao's sleeve to show the two of them.
"That fool can't do any work, but his flesh is so tender! Look at this skin and meat, it'll be so juicy when braised!"
Mo Ye looked at Shi Yao's chubby arms and, thinking of the stewed meat from last night, immediately looked away.
It's not something you can just discard. Mo Ye felt something churning in his stomach, so he forced himself to drink a few mouthfuls of tea to suppress the discomfort.
Yang Jianwu chimed in, "Alright, we'll take it. We'll just skip the brains then."
"puff--"
Mo Ye spat out the tea he hadn't swallowed, coughing loudly.
Yang Jianwu walked behind Mo Ye and patted his back, secretly pressing acupoints on his back with her fingers. "Brother, are you alright?"
Mo Ye wiped the tea stains from the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just drank too fast."
Yang Jianwu chuckled inwardly, clearly thinking of Bai Bai's brains...
Seeing that Mo Ye was alright, Tian Zhong pushed out someone Yang Jianwu didn't recognize, who didn't look very old.
"Although this one is neither a scholar nor a rough man, his skin and flesh are quite delicate."
"Okay, we'll take this one too. We trust Manager Tian."
Tian Zhong's face beamed with joy. They said they wanted three or four, so he brought out four vegetable vendors. If he could sell three, he would make a fortune. As for that troublesome scholar, he would sell him if he could, and if he couldn't, he would sell him cheaply later.
Seeing that Mo Ye hadn't spoken and that it was another man who was talking, the scholar knew that Mo Ye wasn't in charge. He looked at Yang Jianwu with pleading sounds, "Buy me, buy me!"
Yang Jianwu didn't dislike the scholar; he was like a well-protected child who didn't know the dangers of the world. He needed to suffer a bit, otherwise he wouldn't learn his lesson!
"Manager Tian, this one does seem like a scholar, but he's too unruly. Won't it cause trouble if we buy him?"
Tian Zhong grabbed the scholar by the hair and brought him in front of Yang Jianwu. "Young man, this is a scholar. It's good that he's spirited! Besides, his brain is better than these three's. He's very nutritious!"
