Chapter 28 Skeleton Surprise
……

"Come here, young master, tell me what kind of servant you want. I'll introduce one to you!"

"My dear, I have some good stuff here. They are all bright and fresh. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"..."

As soon as he stepped into Yanzuofang, Wu Wen was enthusiastically surrounded by several servants from the pawnshop.

He frowned and waved his hands impatiently at them as if shooing away flies.

Seeing this, the servants tactfully turned around and left without further pestering him.

Continuing to walk through the streets of Yanzuofang, the environment here was indeed very different from the Chang'an City he was familiar with.

The streets were narrow and dirty, the houses were dilapidated, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench.

Not to mention compared with the bustling and prosperous Chang'an City, even in Wannian County, there are few places as bad as this.

In the corner of the wall.

Some people knelt on the ground with grass stuck in their heads. Some of them were alone, while others were accompanied by their parents. They put grass in their heads to show that they wanted to sell their bodies.

"Ugh!"

Wu Wen sighed sadly.

Keep going.

Looking for the target he needs among these people who are willing to sell themselves.

When the street came to an end,

Wu Wen saw two boys, about eleven or twelve years old, squatting in a corner, leaning against the wall, with grass stuck on their heads to show that they were selling their bodies.

Wu Wen stopped.

He turned around and looked at them carefully.

The two boys were starving to the point of being skin and bones, but because of this, it could be seen that their skeletons were particularly large.

From the perspective of martial arts training, they have excellent bones and are good materials for martial arts training. As long as they are well fed and well-drinking, and their qi and blood are replenished, they will be very strong.

"What a coincidence! I looked at so many people before, but none of them met the requirements. I didn't expect to meet two of them at the same time at the last minute." Wu Wen thought to himself.

He stepped forward.
The figure blocked the sunlight.

The two boys noticed someone approaching and looked up at him at the same time.

Wu Wenxian asked the boy on the left: "What's your name?"

"My name is Ji Junxian!"

Wu Wen turned around and asked another boy, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Ergou."

Hearing this name, Wu Wen's mouth corners raised and revealed a smile.

He moved his body and stood in front of Yang Ergou.
"Why do you come here to sell your body?"

"I...my family members are starving to death. I don't want to die, so I hope someone can take me in and give me something to eat." Yang Ergou answered cautiously.

"Not only can I provide you with enough food, but I can also let you live a good life. However, I am studying medicine and I need someone to test my medicine. This process may be painful and may even result in death. Are you willing to come with me?" Wu Wen said seriously.

"Yes, I do!" Yang Ergou answered almost without hesitation.

"You don't have to be so anxious. Think about it carefully before answering me." Wu Wen reminded him.

"Don't think about it. As long as you don't let me starve, I'll do anything you ask me to do!" Yang Ergou answered again without hesitation.

This shows how much he fears hunger.

"Well, come with me!"

Wu Wen extended his hand to him in an invitational gesture.

Yang Ergou immediately pulled out the grass on his head, stood up, and prepared to leave with Wu Wen.

at this time,

Another young man beside him, Ji Junxian, also stood up and said to Wu Wen hurriedly: "My dear, I am not afraid of death either. As long as you can feed me, I can do anything for you!"

Wu Wen smiled at him and shook his head. "Why? I'm the same as him, why don't you want me?" Ji Junxian questioned.

"Just because you asked this question!" Wu Wen retorted.

Hearing this, Ji Junxian was stunned. He didn't understand what this sentence meant.

Wu Wen started to explain, "You sold yourself into slavery voluntarily, and I came here to find someone. I want whoever I want to be free. How can you, who sold yourself into slavery voluntarily, question me like this?"

Ji Junxian reacted instantly, immediately knelt on the ground, admitted his mistake and said: "Sir, I was wrong, but please accept me."

Although he admitted his mistakes in a good manner, Wu Wen still had no intention of accepting him as his new employee.

At this time, Yang Ergou actually pleaded for Ji Junxian: "Sir, just accept him. He is actually a very good person. He and I came to Chang'an together. We lived together for a long time. He often helped me. He is really a very good person."

"I have my own considerations." Wu Wen still disagreed and shook his head.

Yang Ergou looked at Ji Junxian helplessly and shook his head.

"Let's go!"

Wu Wen took Yang Ergou away from Yanzuofang.

In fact, Ji Junxian and Yang Ergou both meet Wu Wen's requirements.

But the main reason why he only accepted Yang Ergou and not Ji Junxian was his name.

Normal poor people don’t have any good names.

Ji Junxian, just hearing this name you know there is a lot of trouble behind it.

Before going home,

Wu Wenxian took Yang Ergou to the clothing store and picked out a set of clean clothes for him to replace his dirty and smelly clothes.

Then, he led Yang Ergou to a food shop and let him have a full meal.

One, two, three, four...

Wu Wen had witnessed Yang Ergou's astonishing appetite.

He only needed two of the multi-grain vegetable dumplings to be full, but Yang Ergou was like a bottomless pit and swallowed the vegetable dumplings after just two bites of chewing.

He grabbed one in each hand and kept eating as if he could never be full.

"Ergou, eat slowly." Wu Wen reminded with concern.

"Sir, did I eat too much?"

Yang Ergou immediately became at a loss, as if he had made some big mistake.

"No, I'm just worried that you might eat too fast and choke or feel full. You can't eat too much if you've been hungry for too long, otherwise it's bad for your health," Wu Wen explained.

Hearing that Wu Wen was not complaining about eating too much, Yang Ergou immediately said with a smile: "No, sir, I'm only half full, how can I feel full?"

Huh? Wu Wen showed a surprised expression.

He sat aside, watching Yang Ergou eat quietly, wanting to see how much he could eat in one meal.

On the other side, Ji Junxian wandered alone in the corner of Yanzuofang for a long time, his heart full of loss and unwillingness.

He didn't understand why Wu Wen chose Yang Ergou instead of himself. Was it just because he asked one more question?
Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped worrying about it, stood up, and followed the direction Wu Wen had just left.

"I am full!"

Yang Ergou finally stopped, patted his belly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Wu Wen sighed as he paid the bill.

Looking at this situation, we can see that an ordinary family really cannot afford to support him.

Even if it was a wealthy family, they probably wouldn't hire a servant like him.

One meal can equal the amount of food for seven or eight people. If you eat so much, you will definitely lose a lot!

"Let's go!"

Wu Wen brought Yang Ergou back home.
