Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 64: Meeting a Good Person Again and Ru Hui

"I'm so lucky to meet some good people in this place."

They were eating fruit and enjoying the breeze on the road when a group of people caught up with them from behind and attacked them with excitement.

Broly was a little moved after his own convoy was attacked. It had been so many days, and finally he saw a simple and kind person who would deliver things to his door again.

However, Broly did not take action because Akame and the others wanted to be self-reliant, so they were the ones to welcome this group of enthusiastic good people.

The result was not unexpected. Among the twenty-six good people, the two sisters Akame and Kurome killed seven. The broken knife they picked up had a strange power, which Broly thought was tetanus. Anyone who was cut by it would die instantly. However, the food obtained from it would not be poisonous.

Of the remaining nineteen people, Nahasu, Bonnie and other children worked together to deal with six. As for the remaining thirteen people, Esdeath alone kicked eleven of them to death.

The remaining two guys were killed by Mailad and Cassandra using human acupoint assassination techniques because they attacked Mailad.

“What a loss.”

Maillard complained a little that as an assassin, she had to charge for killing people.

And now that she had helped two people leave this world without charging any fees, it was a huge loss for her.

"Look, they have a lot of money in the car."

Fortunately, when checking the harvest, Maine found a large bag of coins from the attacker's carriage.

After opening the bag and checking the denomination of the coins inside, Maillard weighed the entire bag in his hand and made an assessment.

"It's probably between 500,000 and 700,000 yuan. There are shackles, ropes, whips and other tools on these carriages. This should be a team buying slaves. I don't know why they treat us as... huh?!"

At this point, Mailad suddenly stopped. She suddenly realized that everyone in her team was short in stature. Even Nahashu, who was dressed the most maturely, looked like a boy of only fourteen or fifteen years old.

It is quite rare for such a team to be attacked, or to be attacked only now, in a place like the Western Territory.

It was all because of the powerful Broly in the team that she subconsciously ignored the composition of the team.

"Big harvest, big harvest~"

Broly didn't take any action, but took the initiative to help clean up the battlefield. He actually liked doing things like cleaning up the battlefield after a fight.

After touching the things on these good people, Broly threw them into the depths of the wilderness with a powerful throw.

Although this is an off-road drive, it is not good to have a corpse blocking the road, so we have to pay attention to traffic order.

The attack was just an episode, and Broly's team arrived at the Rubber Village at noon.

. . . .

"Is anyone here?"

"coming."

"Who is coming this time?"

"I heard it was an iron slave."

"It's him. That guy loves wine and meat. Go kill a few chickens and take out the wine buried underground to entertain those people.

Although our village has to sell babies to survive, we also need to build good relations with those slave traders and ask them to sell our babies to better places."

The village elder instructed that there were differences between slaves. The children sold from the rubber village had the skill of collecting rubber and were managed by the village, so they were generally not treated harshly.

"If any of you are chosen, get on the car and remember to be more obedient after leaving the village, so that you will be whipped less."

The village elder looked at the children standing aside and gave them instructions, saying that some of these children were ignorant, but some were aware.

In the distance, the slave-collecting team gradually approached. When they arrived here, suddenly a man ran out from the team, waving his arms and shouting towards us: "Grandpa, I'm back."

Hearing this, the village elder was shocked and saw his grandson, who was chosen to be sold for the sake of the village last time, running out from the opposite team, shouting and running towards this side.

Surprise, astonishment, confusion, this complex emotion was immediately expressed on the village elder's face.

. . . .

“Chicken soup is here.”

At noon, the chicken soup originally intended to entertain the slave-collecting team was used to entertain Broly's team.

When he learned that they were coming here, he also took care of a slave collection team.

The elder of Jiaoshu Village showed a look of panic on his face.

However, after hearing that no one was left alive, the old man became calm.

Well, there are so many bandits in the West, it is normal for a slave-collecting team with money to be attacked.

Not a single person was left alive. It couldn't be possible that these honest rubber tappers did it, right?
So, it has nothing to do with their Rubber Village.

As for whether he would be angered by the big slave trader behind the scenes.

Just kidding, the Rubber Tree Village also has to pay taxes to the lord.

It was easy for the big slave traders to destroy the rubber village, but it was not worth it to offend the nobles of this land. The village elders saw it clearly, of course, the nobles were also one of the difficulties in relocating the village.

"Thank you for sending my grandson back, but unfortunately you came at the wrong time. Our village is in trouble now and we are unable to entertain you properly."

It was indeed a happy thing that the grandson was rescued from the slave traders and sent back, but the village’s plight was not resolved, and the grandson who returned would eventually be sold again.

The elder of Jiaoshu Village started talking to his grandson, roughly saying that he had already let him down once, but he would let him down again soon. This completely confused Dam, the big boy who had just returned home.

He had just returned home when he was sold by his grandfather again. Even if it was for the sake of the village, it was a little too much.

"Grandpa, you can't just pluck the wool from a sheep."

The boy cried.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You were sold and came back, but the others who were sold didn't come back. If you don't stand up, the people in the village will lose their morale."

"Why? I was able to come back because I met Broly. Otherwise, I might still be being whipped on the slave cart."

The grandson's roar made the village elder feel helpless. He had lived long and seen a lot of things. He understood the principle that people worry not about scarcity but inequality.

Fortunately, the grandson came back, but if he doesn't stand up again, how can other families who have sacrificed their children for the village accept it?

It will be difficult to lead a team if people's hearts are scattered. The old man's feelings for the village obviously exceed those for his own grandson.

"Dam, I'm sorry, but I beg you to save our village one more time."

The old man knelt down in front of the boy and pleaded.

Dam's expression was extremely complicated. He had been sold as a slave and knew how badly slaves were treated.

But the person in front of him was his grandfather, and he didn't know what to do with the other party's request.

He looked at Broly, who was eating a chicken drumstick.

Seeing him looking at me, I said, "If you don't want to be sold, I can help you beat him."

Dam: “…”

If Broly punched his grandfather, he would probably die immediately.

"Speaking of which, why on earth did you have to sell your own grandson into slavery?"

Just when Dam was ready to accept his fate, Main felt a little strange and asked a question.

"It's because the rubber tree income in our village is not good this year. A number of newly planted rubber trees died. Water prices have risen, and coupled with factors such as taxes, we can't make it through the year."

The village elder did not hide the difficulties faced by Jiaoshu Village, and this difficulty would really cause a large number of deaths in this village in the future.

Once too many people die, a vicious cycle will begin, because in this chaotic world, countless villages have perished due to the vicious cycle.

Therefore, such things as sacrificing the self for the greater good are not uncommon. The more you are attached to your hometown, the more willing you are to make sacrifices for it.

Including but not limited to those who go to big cities to work and send money back to their hometowns, or those who sell themselves into slavery and use the money to save their hometowns.

“So, it’s about money?”

Nahashou asked.

"You can say that."

"How much did Dam sell his body for last time?"

Luosang asked.

"Thirty-five thousand Imperial coins."

This amount is already considered a high price for the purchase of a child.

"Hey, how much was the resettlement fee we gave last time?"

Broly suddenly asked Nahashu.

"Brother, it's 50,000 Imperial Coins."

Nahashou answered immediately.

"So, Dam is cheaper?"

“It’s cheap.”

"Well, why don't we buy him?"

"I see, there is a way."

"As expected of Broly!"

The children, who had originally felt heavy-hearted after listening to their companions’ stories, suddenly became excited. They could even spend money to buy their companions!
