Bab 171: Chapter 171: Just a Bite to Eat

Wufu left the town and sat down in a tea pavilion to rest her feet, frowning as she watched the dirty and timid Liu Jin cautiously watching her.

"I have said it, I'm not interested in taking on any servants. Purchasing you was merely a moment of compassionate help, and I've given back your deed of sale. You can wander all over the world," Wufu swallowed a gulp of cool tea and said indifferently, "And you can read."

In those days, being literate could land many odd jobs.

Liu Jin looked at the tea and two large pancakes on the table and swallowed his saliva, saying hoarsely, "A life-saving grace is like a gushing spring; it must be repaid. I am your servant."

He wasn't stupid. With his face and at his age, it was unsafe to go anywhere, and it was hard to have a full belly. Better to follow the woman in front of him.

Instinctively, he felt safe with her, at least he didn't have to worry about being sold to dirty places.
