Chapter 632: Evildoers always meet their match_2
The scar-faced youth sitting opposite the carriage turned Duge’s face toward him and examined it carefully, "Laowu, you misjudged. This brat is probably from some rich family, his face may be dirty but the skin underneath is soft and tender, and he’s quite distinct looking. If we clean him up and sell him to Dragon Willow Villa, we could make a big score."
Tie Tou herded cows every day, enduring wind and sun, and hardly getting enough to eat, one could say he was emaciated and his skin rough. But these past few days, Duge’s spiritual power had been nourishing him, along with some minor changes to his attributes, resulting in his coarse and dull skin being replaced with a new layer.
Apart from being dirty, it really was soft and tender.
The guy called Laowu carefully pinched Duge’s face, his tone filled with surprise, "Brother Niu, you’re the meticulous one. This little fella might really be from a wealthy family that lost him. We’ve struck it rich this time, though it’s a pity for his little butt, it’s probably going to suffer..."
"Don’t rush to send him to Dragon Willow Villa," Brother Niu chuckled, "Later on, let the brothers find out if any nearby towns have lost children, and see if the price they’re willing to pay is high. Maybe by returning him, we could earn even more and face less trouble.
Otherwise, if some high-ranking official sleeps at Dragon Willow Villa and finds his own son, it’s us who will be out of luck in the end. Laowu, in our line of work, we must be extremely cautious; only the brave yet careful can survive for a long time..."
"You’re right, Brother Niu, that’s the reason we all admire you!" Laowu bit into a flatbread, chewing as he spoke, "What a pity we’re not quite capable enough. Otherwise, with Brother Niu’s brains, you could have made a name for yourself in the martial world."
"That’s wishful thinking," Brother Niu stroked the scar on his face, "There are always people better than us, mountains beyond mountains. When facing martial artists, better keep out of their way; those folks truly don’t value human life!"
"What Brother Niu said is true..." Laowu mumbled in agreement.
The carriage jostled along, winding through the city and eventually stopped in front of a secluded courtyard. The man called Laowu grabbed Duge with one hand and slapped the door.
