"But Miss, why are there still human traffickers buying and selling these things?" Xiao Liu blinked and looked at Gu Manzhu.

"Haha, why not make money? The Yuming Kingdom is so big, and the emperor's eyes can't see so far. Things that can make money will never die."

Gu Manzhu shook her arms and picked up the man she had just bought.

"Let's go quickly, my arm is about to break."

"Oh, oh, yes, miss."

......

The doctor beside the bed took the man's pulse and thought for a long time. Finally, he sighed and tucked in the man's quilt.

He stood up and said to Gu Manzhu beside him, "This man has suffered a lot of injuries. He has fainted due to exhaustion. He needs to be taken care of. He can't overexert himself like this anymore."

Gu Manzhu nodded slightly. Indeed, the doctor's diagnosis was correct.

Xu Bo handed the copper coin to the doctor and politely asked him to leave.

As soon as the doctor left, Uncle Xu glanced at the man on the bed.

"Ms. Manzhu, is this the person you bought from the human trafficker?"

Gu Manzhu nodded slightly: "Uncle Xu, please take good care of him!"

"Don't worry, I can do it. This child has not had an easy life either." Uncle Xu shook his head.

The next day.

The man on the bed moved slightly and slowly opened his eyes, but there was still a dead silence in his eyes, as if no matter what the situation was, it had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Liu, who had been guarding the bed, just came in with the cooked medicine.

"Yeah, you're awake, how do you feel now?"

The man glanced at Xiao Liu sideways and then closed his eyelids again.

"Hey, don't sleep. The medicine is ready. Drink it quickly. It will make you feel better."

Xiao Liu stepped forward and helped the man up, placing the bowl against his lips.

The man did not refuse to take the medicine and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful.

Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finished the medicine.

"I'm telling you, your body is in serious condition. You spent a lot of money on the medicine. You have to drink it all. Don't waste it."

Xiao Liu sat on the edge of the bed and talked a lot, but the man didn't answer a word.

Half an hour later, Gu Manzhu stepped into the room.

"Miss, you are here. I just fed him medicine, but he didn't say a word."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Liu."

"This is what a slave should do."

Gu Manzhu came to the bed and saw that the man looked as if it had nothing to do with her, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Your identity is not simple, but now that I have bought you, you will be a member of our family from now on. If you really want to leave, then use your labor to earn the one or two taels of silver for buying you and the money for medicine."

After hearing this, the man reacted and turned his gaze to Gu Manzhu.

The man opened his cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you let me go?"

Gu Manzhu smiled and said, "I never force others. The people I want to use must stay willingly. But since you have been bought by me, and I happen to be short of manpower, you can take over for a while."

The man's eyes flickered, and after a while, he replied, "Okay."

"what's your name?"

"I...my name is Xiaochu, Xiao for Yunxiao, Chu for Chuhe." Xiaochu hesitated for a moment.

"Xiao Chu? That's a nice name. Just take good care of yourself. Only when you are well can you earn money to redeem yourself."

"it is good."

"Xiao Liu, I'm hungry. Is there anything delicious?" Gu Manzhu said softly to Xiao Liu beside her.

"Yes, miss, breakfast is warming up in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you in the front room."

"okay."

Gu Manzhu turned her head and looked at Xiao Chu: "Eat some breakfast later. You can't not eat. But you can only drink porridge."

"Okay." Xiao Chu choked for some reason. He felt that Gu Manzhu was gloating.

Delicious, delicious, here I come! Gu Manzhu thought of Xiao Liu's cooking skills and walked faster towards the front hall.

Xu Bo, who was tidying up the house, saw Gumanzhu come in and quickly put down what he was doing.

"Ms. Manzhu, you are awake."

"Morning, Uncle Xu, have you had breakfast?"

"Haha, I've eaten. I've eaten. I got up early and have finished eating. Please eat quickly!"

"okay!"

As they were talking, Xiao Liu came in with breakfast.

Looking at the food in Xiao Liu's hand, Gu Manzhu couldn't help swallowing.

As soon as breakfast was served, Gu Manzhu couldn't wait to eat it because she was so hungry.

Last night, I planned the farmland and entered the space to water and fertilize the herbs. Eight acres of land is really a lot. I am almost starving.

After quickly finishing her breakfast, Gu Manzhu wiped her mouth and drank some water to rinse her mouth.

"Uncle Xu, I'd like to trouble you to go to the human trafficking shop and buy a few more people today. I bought one yesterday. The man's name was Xiao Chu."

"Okay, I'll go check it out later."

"it is good."

Gu Manzhu took another sip of water and said, "Uncle Xu, when will those tenant farmers finish harvesting the crops they planted this year?"

"It will probably be autumn, and the harvest will be almost complete by mid-September."

"Then let's wait until they finish harvesting the crops, turn the land over and plant the herbs."

When Xu Bo heard that medicinal herbs could be planted at the end of September, he was surprised.

"Miss Manzhu, we are in such a hurry, what about the seeds of medicinal herbs?"

"Don't worry, there will be seeds. I will give them to you when the time comes." Gu Manzhu adjusted her sitting position.

Gu Manzhu probed her consciousness into the space of the bracelet and looked at the tender and crisp medicinal seedlings in the medicine field.

I roughly calculated in my mind that it is now the end of July, and the harvest is once every half a month. By the end of September, the herbs in the medicine field can be harvested about three times.

The medicinal field has eight acres of land planted, and after three harvests, it is enough to plant all the fields.

noon.

After lunch, Gu Manzhu leaned on the couch to rest, and Xu Bo came in with a few people.

"Miss Manzhu, these are the people I bought from the human traffickers this morning. Please see if they are enough."

Xu Bo glanced at the people standing in a row.

The whole row of people bowed to Gu Manzhu knowingly.

"The servant has met the young lady."

Gu Manzhu stood up and sat on the main seat, looking at the person in front of her.

A middle-aged couple with two children, a boy about 12 years old and a girl about 9 years old.

There were also two slightly stronger young men, whose eyes were bright and they seemed to be upright.

"Since our family has bought you back, you are our family members from now on. I will not care about the past. However, since you have moved into this house, loyalty is the first thing you must do."

"Yes, I thank you, young lady."

"What are your names?"

The husband standing on the far left bowed and said in a loud voice: "My name is Li Dong, this is my wife Chen, and my children Li Huai and Li Li."

"My name is Feng Nan," the taller young man said with his head down.

"My name is Kong Su," the strong young man said seriously.

"Okay, do you want to change the name? Or do you want to stick with the original name?"

"The servants will just stick with their original names. There is no need to change them."

"Okay, Xiao Liu!" Gu Manzhu shouted to Xiao Liu outside the door.

"Hey, miss, you called me?"

"Take them to the wing in the backyard and place them there."

"Okay, miss!"
