Chapter 1437: "Courting Death (3)"

All the refugees were coasted They wouldn't be able to even shake a copper out from their bodies what's more ten whole taels of silver! And they even had to pay it once a day! Even if they sold themselves off, they still wouldn't have so much money!

Having just hly tranquil and clean place, the refugees had thought they could finally live in peace How could they have thought that they would encounter such a thing!

"But… didn't they already tell us… there are no charges…" A child that was still rather young spoke the doubt that was on everyone's mind That child had just spoken those words when a lady quickly reached her hand out to clamp it over the child's mouth from behind

"Great Lord, the child is ignorant so please do not take offence with him"

"Even if the child is ignorant, don't tellasked as he glared at the woone deathly pale "Both of you should have stayed here for at least two to three days already haven't you? Then shouldn't you be already be paying up for thechild, I'll wouldn't charge you so much Just two days for two people and I'll just make it forty taels for the two of you"

"For… Forty taels…" The woman was completely flustered Her husband had been killed when the Poison Men had attacked and she had escaped with their young child the entire way here They had depleted all their savings on this journey and forty taels to her was just too astronomical a number She cried out desperately in plea: "Great Lord, I really have no money… really…"

The woman's eyes ide in utter disbelief But before she could even screaht up and forcibly locked her with his eroped her all over Pitiful cries tore out froled veheth be amuscular arms?

Pea sized teardrops flowed fro to stop, and pleaded for the refugees around to save her

But the refugees continued to stand at the side, choosing to reaze one by one to hide their eyes, unable to watch on

"Let go ofand innocent child saw his oneto irip

"damn it! You brat! You dare to bite ht here and that woman to be sold to the brothel! All of you people here listen up and hear ood! If you do not pay up what you owe today, none of you will be able to live in peace!" The thug hollered loudly in rage

Several of the burly men behind the leader then immediately leapt towards the poor mother and child!
