Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 272 Are You Aren't Afraid Of Retribution?

Lan Lian was terrified, her mind was running fast, she had to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible!

"100 taels of silver!"

One of the men made an offer.

Master Zhao was stunned, his eyes widened:
"What?! 100 taels?"

"Yes! 100 taels!"

"Are you kidding me! Even a big girl with yellow flowers is not worth so much money, do you think I'm an idiot!?"

Master Zhao scolded angrily.

"Then tell me, how much is the right price?"

The man asked back.

"Ten taels, no more!"

Master Zhao gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Master Zhao, you are so black-hearted, you are a beggar for ten taels of silver!"

Another man sneered.

"I definitely won't ask for 100 taels. You can offer a real price."

"……Fine……"

……

After some bargaining, Lan Lian was sold for 20 taels of silver.

Tears rolled down her pale face, but she didn't dare to cry out.

Don't look at Mr. Zhao's tattered clothes, he is the shopkeeper of a brothel!

Lan Lian reluctantly was pushed into the carriage by Mr. Zhao.

She was waiting for an opportunity to escape along the way, but there was no chance at all!
Except for a door that can go in and out, the carriage is covered by thick wooden boards, not even a fly can fly out, let alone a living person!
"What's your name?"

Master Zhao was sitting in the carriage, wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief in his hand, his eyes full of obscene smiles.

Lan Lian suppressed her fear, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Don't you want to answer? That's fine, anyway, your old name won't be of much use when you're in Grandpa's territory, so Grandpa will give you a new one that sounds good!"

Lan Lian suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red, and she begged:
"Master, I beg you, can you let me go?"

"Let you go? Oh! The master's money was blown by the wind?"

"Master, please make a price, as long as I can leave, you can pay as much as you want!"

"Are you rich?"

Master Zhao glanced at Lan Lian's clothes contemptuously, and said again:
"Look at your poor appearance, how can you look rich!"

"..."

"Okay! Don't have anything to do with me here, as long as you obediently obey my words, I will promise you to eat well and drink spicy food, and then I will send you a few maids to serve you, how about it?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhao didn't believe her, Lan Lian was very anxious. Her baggage was snatched away by the men who kidnapped her, and the only valuable thing left was a jade pendant on her chest.

It was specially brought to her from the palace by Lin Xiao, and it is said that it was rewarded by the emperor himself!
"Wait! I, I'm really rich!"

Lan Lian pushed away Master Zhao who was about to touch her, took off the jade pendant hanging around her neck, and held it in the palm of her hand:

"My jade pendant was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. It belongs to the royal family. I think you should know what it is!"

Master Zhao took the jade pendant and looked it over carefully, his eyes lit up instantly, he put the jade pendant in his arms, laughed and said:

"This jade pendant is really good, at least it can be worth a hundred and eighty taels!"

"You, what are you doing, return the jade pendant to me!"

See your only valuable thing

Being coveted by Master Zhao, Lan Lian panicked.

She desperately wanted to get back the jade pendant from Master Zhao.

Master Zhao held his hand tightly, no matter how much she pulled it, he didn't move at all.

Lan Lian was anxious, but didn't know what to do.

I only hate myself for being as stupid as a pig!

"Little lady, don't struggle anymore. I'll tell you the truth, even if you are a golden branch and jade leaf in the palace, you won't have to turn over in the hands of my Master Zhao!"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

Lan Lian glared at Master Zhao angrily.

Master Zhao laughed loudly:

"Retribution? Hahaha... I laughed so hard, if there was retribution, my grandfather would have died a long time ago!"

After speaking, he suddenly lowered his body and leaned closer to Lan Lian's ear:

"Let me tell you, here, this is the master!"

Saying that, Mr. Zhao raised his thumb, triumphantly:
"No matter who it is, as long as you offend the master, you will end up dead without a place to die! So you should be quiet, so as not to suffer!"

Master Zhao's words were like a basin of ice water, extinguishing all hopes of Lan Lian.

She slumped in the corner of the carriage, feeling extremely hopeless.

In order to escape Master Zhao's claws, she chose to pretend to be dizzy, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

But Mr. Zhao didn't give up because of this, he straightened her body, and squeezed her chin firmly:

"As long as you can breathe, those guests won't care! Hahaha..."

Listening to Master Zhao's piercing laughter, Lan Lian felt as if her internal organs were about to burst.

Going on like this is not an option!

Could it be that he was just at the mercy of Mr. Zhao?
Thinking of the tragic fate she might encounter, Lan Lian couldn't help but shudder.

She is not reconciled, and she can't sit still, she must find a way to escape!
Lin Xiao is still waiting for her to find it!
……

On the island, Lin Xiao led the crowd to build a giant raft, one end of which was filled with food and fresh water.

Everything was ready, and everyone climbed on the raft, ready to go.

However, when the raft was floating on the sea, only a "boom" was heard, and the plesiosaur, which had been dead for several days, suddenly blew itself up!

The huge explosion attracted all the plesiosaurs who came to look for it to the raft of Lin Xiao and others, and rushed towards the raft with all their teeth and claws!

"Damn!"

Lin Xiao cursed secretly, and hurriedly asked everyone to paddle to avoid the attack of the plesiosaur!

However, how could such a small raft be the opponent of several behemoths!

After a while, Lin Xiao's raft became precarious, and it was about to sink to the bottom of the sea!
Seeing this, Lin Xiao picked up a rope woven with vines, and threw it vigorously towards the seven inches of a plesiosaur, binding the plesiosaur tightly.

She quickly tied the other end of the rope to the raft, then took out the dagger she carried and flew over, hitting the plesiosaur's upper body.

The plesiosaur groaned in pain, and quickly swam towards the depths of the sea. The raft was also dragged and slid towards the depths of the sea at a speed comparable to that of a modern yacht!

After this operation, Lin Xiao and the others successfully avoided the attack of the plesiosaur.

After a while, Lin Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly her face turned pale, and she shouted:
"Quick, cut the rope!"

"why?"

Some people asked puzzledly.

They felt that it was extremely trouble-free for the plesiosaur to drag the raft, and the plesiosaur behind could not catch up.

"Do you want to follow the plesiosaur back to its lair and become its healing food?!"

Before everyone could react, Lin Xiao snatched the dagger from Yu Xilin's waist and cut off the rope.

Due to inertia, the raft lost control and swayed violently under the impact of the waves. The sea fish on the side were frightened and fled one after another.

Everyone was almost overturned into the sea. Fortunately, Ah Hai and several experienced crew members controlled the balance of the raft, barely making the raft float steadily on the sea.

But even that was choking enough, the waves crashing against the logs of the raft, creaking and creaking.
