Chapter 181 Save the old man’s wife?
Two hours later, the setting sun was already hanging in the sky.
Xu Ning's carriage team had also stopped to reorganize.
The bonfire was lit, and Liu Li arranged for people to bring a large pot for cooking. With the crackling of the dry firewood, a big fire soon ignited, and soon the water in the pot boiled.
A scent of rice spread in the air. Fang Wenhai, who had been slept for a whole day, twitched his nose and slowly opened his eyes.
"Second sister, the old man is awake!" Xu Feng hurriedly ran down from the carriage and shouted excitedly towards Xu Ning.
"Come on, Ningning, let's go take a look!"
"Were you the ones who saved me?" After seeing Xu Ning and Pei Jiao, Fang Wenhai fixed his gaze on Pei Jiao.
"Yes! We saved you." So, how do you plan to repay me? Pei Jiao glanced at Fang Wenhai, as if to say, "I am not afraid of too much money, I can accept it no matter how much you give me."
"Young lady, do you know Kung Fu?" Seeing Pei Jiao admit it, Fang Wenhai's old face lit up with joy and he looked a lot younger in an instant.
"What's wrong? You want to hire me? Sorry, you can't afford it. Everyone in my team knows martial arts, and I can make at least ten taels a day." Pei Jiao mainly didn't want to earn this money, so she deliberately exaggerated it.
"I'll give you a hundred taels! A day! A hundred taels a day! Miss, will you accept it?" Fang Wenhai thought it was a lot of money! Ten taels, he could earn back the money he earned in the time it took to run a shop.
Pei Jiao secretly said in his heart, damn, it turns out she had lowered the price, this person is more valuable than he thought!
Pei Jiao and Xu Ning looked at each other, and then took a close look at Fang Wenhai again. As expected, he looked like a sucker!
"What? Just escorting you, or something else? If the risk is too high, this is not the price."
"Of course, one hundred taels a day is just to protect my price. The rest will naturally be at another price!" Fang Wenhai is a businessman, so he naturally knows that nothing can be agreed upon in one go. He knows how to judge people. Pei Jiao and her group are a merchant caravan, so they are capable. Those who are not capable would not dare to do business at this time.
"Let me tell you first, where should I take you? I can take you along the way." Pei Jiao and Xu Ning originally planned to just make some money, and it would not be a problem if they could make some other money along the way.
"To the North City."
"What a coincidence, I can take you."
Fang Wenhai relaxed a little after hearing this, and asked tentatively: "Can you pick up another girl on the way?"
"On the way?"
"Yes, on the way to North City."
"Save who?"
"My wife, I can offer you 10,000 taels." Fang Wenhai said sincerely. Pei Jiao's breath stagnated and she secretly pinched herself to calm down.
Ten thousand taels is really a lot for her. It can support her subordinates for a long time. Pei Jiao is really tempted!
On the other side, Xu Ning reacted indifferently. After all, she had already earned hundreds of millions of points, so hearing ten thousand taels was no different from hearing a few hundred taels.
"Where do you want my sister to go to rescue people?" But for a businessman, ten thousand taels is not a small amount of money. The old man asked such a high price, the risk factor must be high.
Pei Jiao also reacted quickly, and Fang Wenhai hurriedly explained.
It turned out that Fang Wenhai and his wife were planning to settle down in the south under the pretext of inspecting shops there.
Fang Wenhai and his wife have no children, but they have a huge business. The couple actually planned to find a reliable person to take over their business when they went to the south this time.
But what they never expected was that just two days after leaving North City, Fang Wenhai and his family were ambushed.
