Could it be that...
"Strange, the deposit has been paid, they can't possibly not want these goods, can't they have not arrived yet?"
After looking around, he didn't find any other people or signs of ambush, which made him even more confused.
Isn't that city lord really giving him money for free? Can he be so kind?
"Mr. Bai Heng, please don't blame us, it took us a little longer to prepare the goods, so we came late."
In the distance, Bai Heng heard the voice of the steward and felt a little relieved. He said, how could there be a good thing of giving money for free in the sky?
"The rest of the goods are still up there, so what about the balance?"
In order to ensure the smooth transaction, Bai Heng first threw down some goods according to the deposit paid by the other party. Anyway, he would not give the goods without seeing the remaining money.
This can also be regarded as ensuring that the other party will not be greedy.
After all, he had experienced the situation where all the goods were piled up and the other party went back on their word.
"Okay, here's the remaining money, please count it carefully, Mr. Bai"
The steward looked at the flying object in the sky, a trace of displeasure and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He threw the prepared money bag over and let Bai Heng count it.
"Well, good, now it's all ready, I'll let them start unloading"
Bai Heng waved his hand, and the spacecraft lowered its altitude tacitly, approaching the limit, and a lot of cargo was thrown down from below.
As for him, he took advantage of the altitude to grab the rope ladder and left safely.
"Fortunately, I prepared everything, otherwise they would have succeeded"
Letting Tingyun look at him, Bai Heng's eyes fell on the few people on the ground.
"They came so late, they must have found that the quantity of goods was not right, otherwise, they should have taken action directly"
"My benefactor, if this is the case, why do you still give them the goods? Wouldn't it be better to just take the money and leave and let them do nothing?"
Tingyun was puzzled by this. Do they need to be so honest with bad people?
"It makes sense, but it's not feasible. We are businessmen. Buying and selling is our duty. If we do that, what's the difference between us and them? We are just robbers"
Faced with Bai Heng's preaching, Tingyun nodded thoughtfully, as if he was chewing on the meaning.
"By the way, do you want to... see your mother again?"
Tingyun came back to his senses and looked at Bai Heng. Bai Heng couldn't bear to look at his eyes.
"It's just right... on the way"
"Okay, thank you benefactor"
Tingyun held back her tears and pulled her mouth open, as if she was smiling, but when she thought about their separation, she couldn't smile.
It was not easy for Bai Heng to take her away. If he took her mother away, the others would definitely come around and beg Bai Heng to take them away.
She couldn't cause trouble for Bai Heng, and at the same time she had no ability to save her mother, so she could only... separate.
Tingyun was surprisingly quiet along the way.She sat aside and listened to their conversation with a smile.
Now she was sitting on the deck, staring into the distance in a daze.
"... We're almost there, let's go down"
Bai Heng's voice brought her back to her senses. Ting Yun nodded with her head down, followed Bai Heng to the ground, walked into the village, and headed towards her home.
Looking at the figure in front of the door, Ting Yun's body froze for a moment, and then ran over quickly.
The woman she had seen before had a pale face and fell at the door. There was also a wound on her wrist, and some dried blood around it.
It was obvious that she didn't want to endure the pain anymore, so she sold her daughter and then committed suicide.
Selling her daughter for money to keep herself alive was not the purpose, but letting herself leave without any regrets was the ultimate goal of this mother.
"Mother, mother?"
Ting Yun's trembling voice sounded, with disbelief on his face. At this moment, Ting Yun was extremely flustered, and subconsciously set his sights on Bai Heng.
He said nothing about this, and there was no other way except to show the grief in his eyes.
Soon, Tingyun moved his feet, slowly approached the skinny figure on the ground, and slowly put his hands on the other's face, which had already been cold.
At this moment, Tingyun couldn't help it at all, and the slightest hope that was still there was completely shattered.
What if... what if there was still a glimmer of hope?
What if her mother hesitated before leaving.
What if she came back just in time?
Feeling the cold corpse with her own hands, Tingyun's luck was completely extinguished.
Her mother had already taken her own life when she saw her being taken away.
"???"
"Hey!"
Looking at Tingyun's staggering body, Bai Heng subconsciously caught it. Facing the sudden death of the only relative, a healthy person may not be able to bear such grief, let alone Tingyun who has been hungry for a long time.
After eating for just a few days, it is impossible to recover to the original state.
"Hey"
Bai Heng looked at Tingyun in his arms, and then looked at the body on the ground, and decided to bury it.
As for the others who did not bury their relatives, he guessed that it was because they simply did not have the strength to move?
Xing: Hey, I didn't expect Tingyun's life to be so tragic. I finally had a stable life, but it was broken by Huanlong
Liuying: ...You, you have a good memory. You haven't forgotten that Miss Tingyun has completely disappeared
Yukong: Pioneer... Can you please stop talking about this topic?
Xing: Ah? Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot you were friends for many years.
The scene changed, Bai Heng was standing in front of a dead tree, with a small mound beside it and a wooden board in front of it.
That was the result of Bai Heng burying Tingyun's mother, but... he didn't know the other person's name. Geng had never erected a tombstone for others, so he didn't know how to write it.
"Tingyun, Tingyun?"
I came to the tree and woke Tingyun up softly, but I didn't know how to start.
"Is that... my mother's tombstone?"
Bai Heng was stunned, and immediately came back to his senses and replied.
"Yes, I saw that other planets were buried in the ground, so I did it on my own initiative."
Then, Tingyun dragged his body to the tombstone and stared at the blank wooden board in a daze.
"Sorry, I don't know its name, so I didn't carve a name on it. If..."
"Thank you, benefactor"
Before Bai Heng finished his suggestion, Tingyun had already rushed over and hugged him.
Tears kept coming, even if he woke up, he didn't want to believe the truth that his mother was dead.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Bai Heng shook his head secretly and took out the package that had been prepared long ago, which was full of food and water.
"Put this aside, and by the way...say your last goodbye"
Take the bag of food, Tingyun nodded in tears, and chose to bury it aside.
She did not choose to distribute it to the villagers, because she knew that the food was far from enough for everyone. At that time, they would find her and Bai Heng, begging Bai Heng to continue to give them food, which would only bring endless trouble to Bai Heng.
…………
Soon, Tingyun walked to Bai Heng and took the initiative to ask about the departure time.
"Benefactor, should we go back?"
"...Well, let's go"
The two walked forward one after the other, and no one took the initiative to speak.
As long as a group of people came from a distance to surround them.
Looking at the familiar face, Bai Heng immediately smiled.
"Oh, Mr. Steward, are you dissatisfied with my goods? I can guarantee that my goods are of the right weight and have no defects."
Listening to Bai Heng's preemptive speech, the steward was not in a hurry and simply chatted.
"No, no, Mr. Bai Heng's goods are very satisfactory to us in the whole city. We came here just to make another deal."
Looking at the steward's fierce look, Bai Heng stepped forward with a look of surprise, and stood in front of Tingyun without any expression.
"Oh? I don't know what the city lord wants. I can spend some effort to find what he wants."
Bai Heng was very sensible, and his gesture made the steward nod with satisfaction.
It's a pity that the other party's purpose was not pure, and he showed his fangs after laughing.
"It's simple. I just want to buy a few lives from Mr. Bai Heng. Let's do it."
After he finished speaking, the group of people he brought with him took out their weapons and aimed at two more people. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Well, benefactor, I'll stop them, you run quickly"
Tingyun quietly looked behind Bai Heng and found that the other party was well prepared. He took the initiative to propose that he become a bait.
"You're kidding. There are so many of them. No matter how you think about it, I can't run faster than them with just two legs, right?"
Bai HengHe couldn't help but smile bitterly at the ridiculous speech. Run? If he moves, he will be shot into a sieve. Where to run?
Looking back at the steward and others, Bai Heng raised his hand in time to stop, saying the two words that he never gets tired of hearing.
"Wait a minute!"
"You... want to buy my life?"
As soon as the question came out, everyone's eyes were all strange.
No, this... isn't obvious?
Without waiting for the other party to react more, Bai Heng continued his words, perfectly traveling with the mind that a businessman should have.
"In this case, you want to take my life without bidding or paying. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Silence, endless silence.
The people around him became confused when they heard this...
We are here... to take your life, no, to sell your life. Since it is a transaction, we have to pay for it, but... they want to take action directly, but such behavior is no different from robbery, so it is not a transaction, hiss~
Looking around, Bai Heng showed a barely perceptible smile. []
"Mr. Manager, since there is a demand for this transaction, then I will not dodge. In this case, why don't you gamble with me, your commodity?"
Everyone was successfully led astray. They felt relieved when they heard Bai Heng take the initiative and that they were trapped in a jar. After all, it was the truth. Who were they?
Can the high-level killers raised by the city lord easily make the target go off-tune? Definitely not.
"Benefactor, are you going to..."
Tingyun poked Bai Heng's waist from behind, and was a little confused about this behavior.
If merchants are trading, should they pay money to buy their lives to ensure safety?
"Let me bet... Feathers flying all over the sky!"
After the words fell, a large number of white feathers instantly appeared in everyone's sight. There were only endless white obstructions in their eyes, and they couldn't see the direction at all.
In the white feathers, a figure fled in one direction.
As a power releaser, Bai Heng was also in trouble.
He didn't know the direction either, so he could only run away from the other party.
As for Tingyun, to prevent them from getting separated, Bai Heng directly carried Tingyun forward.
After a while, the white fish feathers in front of him became scarcer and the vision gradually became clearer.
"Ha~ha~ Oh my God, I'm so tired"
Bai Heng put Tingyun down, panting. He was anxious. In fact, if he slowed down a little, the other party wouldn't be able to tell.
Looking at the vast expanse of white behind her, she felt relieved because she couldn't see the real situation inside.
"It should be... not possible to get out in a short time, let's go quickly!"
Tingyun didn't say anything, but when she raised her foot to catch up, she subconsciously looked at Bai Heng's hand holding her wrist.
She felt... Bai Heng's hand was warm, and it was very comfortable to be held like this.
Bai Heng: Oh, that's a normal phenomenon after running all over the sweat.
Inside the white feather, everyone was startled by the feather that suddenly appeared..
They all stood there at a loss, not daring to leave rashly, fearing that they would be in danger if they acted alone.
"Damn it, that stinky businessman has such a method, I really underestimated him"
Hearing the panicked voices of his subordinates, the manager was inexplicably angry. So many people let two people run away?
If you tell others, you will definitely be laughed at!
When the feathers became looser and looser, several people looked around and did not find Bai Heng's figure, nor did they find the figure of the feathers.
On the other side, Bai Heng had taken Tingyun to bypass them and returned to the flying ship.
"Let's go, stay away from this place of trouble"
Looking at the dry yellow land underground, Bai Heng suddenly felt a lot in his heart, as always, but his ability was limited and he could not save all the victims.
Tingyun heard Bai Heng's order and subconsciously came to the edge of the window, staring blankly at the area where he had lived for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Hearing this voice, Tingyun's nervousness was swept away.
After a few days of contact, she had long understood that Bai Heng was not a bad person, and there was always a kind emotion in his heart.
"My benefactor, I'm fine. I just suddenly have to leave the place where I have lived for many years... I have some respect for the future."
Faced with concern, Tingyun smiled slightly, and looked as relieved as she said.
Bai Heng didn't say anything, just looked into Tingyun's eyes. Through these eyes, he could clearly feel the anger and confusion in Tingyun's eyes.
In response, he just nodded. The only way for him to get rid of the pain in his heart was to let it fade away with the twists and turns of time.
If you can get rid of the pain with just a few words from others, unless you don't feel the existence of pain yourself.
"Mr. Bai Heng, do you think reincarnation exists in this world?"
"Hmm? Reincarnation... rebirth? I don't know, but why do you have such an idea?"
Bai Heng was not surprised by such remarks. In other words, many people cannot accept the departure of their loved ones and think that they are still alive or reincarnated.
Although there are not many, it does not mean that there are none.
"... The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. What I have seen and heard is only a few decades. The answer to this question may require you to find it yourself."
There is no direct answer to Tingyun's question. Living always requires motivation, and the answer to this question is the motivation for its efforts to survive.
