Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 482 Wanhe Escapes

Then he was asked to wait here for a while, and he went to the eldest lady to get his indenture contract. Wan He waited for a while, and Steward Wang came over with his indenture contract.

He told Wan He very seriously, "The farther you go, the better. The Ninth Prince is not someone you can easily mess with. It's best to hide your name and surname. What you did is not a big deal. As long as you don't say anything nonsense, nothing will happen."

When Wan He heard that it was related to the Ninth Prince, he felt so regretful that he shouldn't have taken advantage of this opportunity. But then again, if Butler Wang found him, he would have to do it even if he didn't get paid. At least he was free now, so he might as well run! The farther the better.

He asked Wang the butler to change the silver into silver notes so that it would be safer. Then he went back to his place, packed up his things, picked up his bag and headed for the city. He first hired a car to take him out of the city, and then he would talk about it when he got to the town outside the city.

He ran away quickly, and after two days he had passed through several counties. He found a job as a boatman and traveled along the river. When he arrived at a place, he would change to another boat and continue on his way. This way he could earn money and ride the boat for free.

He worked and ran all the way, and finally stopped in a remote town.

This town is not big, the people are kind, and they are not xenophobic to outsiders. He bought a small yard, took out some money to rent a shop, and planned to try his hand at business. If it doesn't work out, he will buy a small farm to live in.

Wan He hid far away, thinking that this place should be far enough. In fact, he didn't know who the girl was from beginning to end. Even if he saw her, he wouldn't recognize her, but he still hurt her.

Here, Sanbazi staggered back to a shabby yard, which was the house they rented temporarily. They didn't care about anything as long as it could keep out the wind and rain.

The other three people inside were drinking and bragging. When he came back, a fat black man asked, "Where have you been? You've been away for such a long time, and you went to gamble. Wouldn't it be better to leave some money for food and drinks?"

Another skinny guy said, "If all else fails, pick a girl you like and keep her as your wife. Give birth to a child and she'll be well behaved. That'll mean you have a family, right? You see, I already have a son and a daughter."

San Pa Zi chuckled and said, "That's meaningless. I just like to gamble in my life. What's the use of a wife and children? If you want one, just go find someone in the garden. There's everything. It's great to get the money in exchange for the goods."

Another bald guy said, "Third brother is right. We should spend money recklessly when we have it. Money is a bastard. It comes quickly and goes quickly. We should spend more while we can earn it. There is really no other way."

None of the four were good people. They all laughed together and indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

The skinny monkey reminded everyone, "In a few days, we will be able to do a big job, so everyone should be alert. Go find some helpers tomorrow, and don't be too stingy with the money."

The bald man smiled and said, "Don't worry! We are all experienced and will come as soon as we are asked. It will be no problem for us to lend a hand!"

They chatted and laughed, and then the four of them sat down to eat and drink, and when they got drunk they could just fall asleep on the kang. There were several quilts thrown in a mess on the kang, and they were so dirty that it was obvious that no one had washed them for a long time.

Of course, Sanbazi also told them the news he got today. They agreed to go find out tomorrow. If what the man surnamed Wan said was true, this girl would be one of their targets.

They were good at judging people and could tell a thing or two from the way they dressed. Of course, sometimes they made mistakes and sold them directly into prostitution, where they would be tortured to death within a few years and then disappear from this world.

In their line of work, it is better to be safe than sorry. If they make even the slightest mistake, they will be caught, and there will be no good consequences.
