Creating a Different World - Chapter 2536
[Chapter 2536 Becky’s Request]
“Miss Mashi, there are many injured bandits over there, what should we do with them?” Christina pointed to the other side and asked softly.
It turned out that in the battle with Becky’s companions, many bandits were also injured by stones, or stabbed by Gavin and others with swords when trying to climb. At this moment, they were all controlled by slave soldiers.
Jia Zhengjin took a casual look and said: “Heal their wounds. After all, they are precious labor and cannot be wasted.”
“Yes!” Christina had this plan. She was born a priest, and saving the dying and healing the wounded is her duty.
With Jia Zhengjin’s permission, she immediately went over to use healing magic to make all the injured bandits recover.
Gavin, Luca, Lorenzo, and Daniela came down from the top of the mountain and gathered with Becky, their eyes full of joy of surviving the disaster.
The five people held each other’s hands and cried with joy.
After a while, Gavin was the first to react: “Becky, where did you find these people?”
Becky immediately replied: “After you covered my escape, I rode all the way down the mountain and broke through the pursuit of the bandits. After going down the mountain, the warhorse ran wildly, and I didn’t know how to put it down. Somehow I got into a remote forest. As a result, there was a village in the mountains. I was desperate, and found that there were a large number of slave soldiers in the village, so I thought about taking a gamble. I was afraid that they were unwilling to help, so I took out all the gold coins I carried with me, and finally succeeded in persuading the other party to help.”
“All the gold coins?” Daniela said loudly, “You gave them the gold coins, what about the way home?”
“Yes! Without gold coins, how can we survive to get home?” Gavin was also anxious.
“How can I care about so many things?” Becky said, “There is no time to think about those things. If you don’t bring people here quickly, you will all die!”
“But… there is no need to give all the gold coins…” Luca sighed and glanced in the direction of Jia Zhengjin, “Forget it! If we give it all, can we get it back? At least they have the strength and are really worth these gold coins. If they hadn’t arrived in time, the four of us would probably have died on Mount Cheru.”
“That’s right! We should be content with our lives. We must have a way to go home.” Becky said quickly, “Why don’t we go to the nearby city and see if we can borrow some money from the local officials.”
“With our current situation, we don’t have any tokens to prove our identity. It would be strange if we could borrow it! We are too far away from home and we don’t know anyone here.” Luca said, “No way!”
“How about you talk to the other party and see if you can get a few gold coins back? At least it can support us to return home.” Lorenzo whispered to Becky.
“This…” Seeing that the four companions were all staring at her, Becky hesitated, “Is this okay?”
“We don’t care about money, but at least we have to go home, right?” Gavin reminded, “You can’t move without money! Unless you want to starve to death on the road.”
“Okay! I’ll try my best.” Becky turned around hesitantly, with embarrassment on her face, and strode to Jia Zhengjin, but she didn’t know how to start.
Jia Zhengjin was commanding the slave soldiers to escort the tied-up robbers down the mountain in order, and ordered them to beat anyone who dared to resist. Don’t worry. Anyway, as long as there is a breath left, Christina can heal it. In
fact, even if it is really beaten to death, Christina’s priest profession resurrection can pull people up, so there is no need to worry.
Found that Becky stood in front of him but didn’t speak, so he asked curiously: “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
“Miss Mashi, I’m a little embarrassed.” Becky looked embarrassed.
“Then don’t say it!” Jia Zhengjin said directly.
“Ah?” Becky was even more embarrassed, and the whole person was stunned.
“I’m just kidding! If you have anything to say, just tell me!”
“Oh,” Becky breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little embarrassed and couldn’t speak. After taking a few deep breaths, she finally said to her, “Ms. Mashi, I know this is a little unreasonable. But when I asked for help before, the gold I took out was all the money I had on me, and it belonged to the five of us. I didn’t think too much at the time, I just wanted to save people quickly. If we give you all that money, it will be very difficult for us to return to Frost Dragon City. It will take more than ten days to get there even if we ride fast from here. We have run out of dry food and water, and I’m afraid we will starve to death and die of thirst halfway!”
“So what?” Jia Zhengjin asked with a smile.
“So… so.” Becky was embarrassed, “I hope Miss Mashi can pay it back a little bit, just lend us some gold coins, enough to support us to return to Frost Dragon City!”
“Is that so?” Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and thought.
Becky looked at him nervously, feeling quite uneasy.
After a while, Jia Zhengjin raised his head: “This gold coin! Since you gave it to me, there is no reason to take it back, and I will not lend gold coins to people I don’t know. However, I can provide you with enough food and water so that you can support yourself until you return to Frost Dragon City.”
“To tell you the truth, Miss Mashi!” Becky showed a bitter expression, “We are used to spending money lavishly. We have always rested in the best hotels and eaten the best meals. You only give us food and water. Not to mention whether it will be hard to swallow, we can’t sleep in the open on the road. We have never had this experience. It won’t work!”
“That’s your problem!” Jia Zhengjin shrugged, “It can be seen that you are all from wealthy families. Either you are the children of wealthy businessmen or you are from aristocratic families. Maybe you can’t endure hardships. But people always have to suffer before they can grow up. Isn’t this an opportunity for you?”
Becky was very depressed when she heard this. If it was in Frost Dragon City, there wouldn’t be so many troubles. After a word, someone would naturally take the money back for her. But there was really nothing they could do when they were out in the open. Besides, the other party was a good man who saved them and their companions, not to mention that they were so powerful that one person could kill 40 or 50 bandits. It was too late to build good relationships with such a strong man, so how could they offend them for money?
But if they had no money, they really couldn’t afford to sleep in the wild. Even a worse hotel was unbearable, after all, they had never suffered any hardship.
What should they do?
After thinking about it, an idea suddenly occurred to him: “Miss Mashi, do you think this will work? The money is the hiring fee, and it is yours after you give it! Then can we continue to hire you and your subordinates to escort us back to Frost Dragon City? No matter how much money we spend on the way, we will return it in full when we arrive in Frost Dragon City, and then give you an extra 100 gold coins!”
“Oh? There is such a good thing?” Jia Zhengjin was a little interested.
“In addition, you saved me and my companions, and after returning to Frost Dragon City, there may be other rewards!”
