Chapter 495: Chapter 495: She is not a Bodhisattva Chapter 495: Chapter 495: She is not a Bodhisattva “Honoured guest, are you alright?”
Seeing that they had all calmed down, the old woman looked at Lin Caisang apologetically.
“I’m truly sorry. The fault is mine for not giving you a heads up about what could happen.”
“No worries, it’s alright.”
Lin Caisang shook her head, an embarrassed expression on her face.
“What’s going on with these people? Have they been locked up too long, will there be any issues?”
If she really bought these people, could they perform any work? Was she purchasing servants for her farmland or was she going to serve them instead? She couldn’t help but wonder.
Hearing her words, the old woman quickly shook her head.
“Please rest assured, dear guest. Their health is fine. They just want a master to buy them, so they can get some warm meals.”
“Do they not even get warm meals here?” Lin Caisang asked in disbelief.
“Well…I don’t have the final say here, dear guest. We do as the boss instructs…” the old woman uneasily laughed.
Once sold to a place , where could one expect warm meals? If they were lucky, they could get hold of some coarse grain steamed buns and a bit of pickles. If you’re weak and can’t snatch food, then you have to go hungry.
But these were things she would never reveal to her guests.
Ya Molian called Zhe Jue, who was standing next to her.
Zhe Jue came over to the old woman and said, “Please open the room’s door, I need to select some people.”
The old woman was scared by his words.
She was alone with these three distinguished guests. If she opened the door and those people rushed out madly, she might not even know how she died.
“Alright, alright, honorable guests, please be patient. I’ll call some enforcers over to watch.”
Zhe Jue didn’t contradict her, but motioned for her to hurry back.
Soon, Lin Caisang saw ten or so enforcers follow the old woman over, each one holding a long knife and staring menacingly at the people in the room.
Upon seeing the enforcers, the people inside were even more terrified, huddling up in a corner, not daring to even glance at them.
After the old woman opened the room door, Zhe Jue entered.
“Miss Lin, do you see anyone you like?” While inside the room, he turned towards Lin Caisang, asking her first.
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang furrowed her brows, thinking to herself: She didn’t like any of the people there, what should she do?
“Just select ten who look robust and that will be sufficient.”
Each one of them appeared as if they were mad. How was she supposed to make a selection? They all seemed the same, there were no discernible differences.
The only thing she wanted now was not to pick anyone who was sick. She didn’t want to end up having to nurse them back to health, feeding them medicine every day.
After all, she wasn’t a saint.
Zhe Jue responded, looking towards the people.
In no time, he managed to gather ten people. The old woman immediately shut the room door once they were out.
Handing the people over to the enforcers, the old woman then led them to choose women. Consistent with Lin Caisang’s request, they weren’t interested in selecting young girls, women in their thirties would suffice.
“These women appear to be rather clean.”
