When the guards returned, half an hour had passed…and the sky was completely dark.
The place with the prison cell was an independent courtyard. There were torches lit in the courtyard.
"What did the lord say this time?" The guard asked the person who left.
" Don't mention it..." The person who left sighed." The lord is meeting with a guest and has no time for us.”
He opened a cloth bag in his hand. There was food inside…Fang Jie looked through the cell door and realized that it was a pillar-shaped object wrapped in leaves that looked like a dumpling. There were eight of them, each as big as a man's fist.
The one who left gave three to the one who stayed behind, and he also packed three for himself.
Then, he carried the remaining two and walked towards Fang Jie.
On the way, he noticed that the person in the other cell had woken up as well. He chuckled playfully.
Standing in front of the cell door, he raised the cloth bag and said, There's food inside, but it's not for free…"
The other watchman also understood and came over to stand with him.
He mainly looked at Fang Jie and thought to himself," That guy fell from the sky, so it's not surprising that he has good stuff on him."
However, the two of them didn't dare to go up and search…It was really too smart to let the other party hand it over himself.
He couldn't help but look at his companions in admiration.
Fang Jie was delighted as he thought of a possibility…The cell next door spoke first.
"Is this what a samurai does?" It was obvious that he did not understand his own situation. Fang Jie shook his head.
As expected, the two guards were furious. They cursed at him for a while before adding,"
"You can starve."
The two of them snorted and looked at Fang Jie.
During this time, Fang Jie had already prepared the things that he thought would attract them…It was a pure gold Guan Yin that weighed 10 grams, and it also came with two gold luck beads that weighed 2 grams each…It was taken away a month ago, but because of Lindy, these personal items were returned to him.
He untied it from his neck, held the red string, and lifted it outside the cell door.
The shiny gold immediately caught the eyes of the two guards.
Fang Jie swayed the Golden Guanyin in front of them, and their eyes followed the movement of the Golden Guanyin.
Just as the person with the food was about to step forward, Fang Jie kept the Golden Guanyin back.
The guards were stunned.
"You don't really think that a little bit of food can be exchanged for this exquisitely crafted Guanyin statue, do you?" Fang Jie smiled.”
This was something from the 21st century, and its purity was definitely not something that could be replicated in this era…Fang Jie had such confidence.
The guards looked at each other." Then, then how much food do you want?”One asked.
Fang Jie laughed." Maybe there won't be a next meal. How much food can I ask for? Well, I'm not an unreasonable person. After all, you've worked hard all day. How can you not get something in return? How about we make a deal? If you complete it, the Guanyin statue will be yours.”
Fang Jie shook the statue again.
The two guards stared at the Guanyin statue again. Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious that they were tempted.
" The deal is simple," Fang Jie said while the iron was hot." No one will believe me anyway, right?" Your lord doesn't know either. Why don't you let me go?”
" This…" The guards seemed to be shocked.
"Even if you report it to the lord, what can you get? Will the lord give you the Golden Guanyin as a reward?”" Ah…Ah," Fang Jie said, trying to sow discord." He's clearly a loyal subordinate, but he didn't attract any attention even after two reports. Such a feudal lord is really heartless."”
One of the guards called out another person's name.
"Wait, wait, we need to discuss this.”The other person pulled the other person, and the two of them went to a slightly further place.
At this moment, the person in the cell next door said," Hmph, they were actually tempted by bribes. As expected, those samurai guys have fallen."”
"Don't say that." "If they don't do this, I'll die as an innocent person…Which one do you think is better?" Fang Jie chuckled.”
The room next door fell silent.
The two guards returned very quickly.
"We, we have to confirm if that is real gold.”"Throw it out for us to see," they said to Fang Jie.”
"If you want to see it, you can only look at it through the cell door…I won't hand it over before I leave this place.”Fang Jie said.
He gripped the spot near the Guanyin statue and stuck it almost to the wooden fence…This way, even if the other party wanted to snatch it, it would be difficult to do so.
The two of them looked at each other again, as if they had finally given up on trying to get closer and stared at the Guanyin statue.
"Really, really exquisite!" One of them said," It's so small, but its facial features are so clear. It's a high-grade item that I've never heard of before!"”
"Ah, if I sell it, I'll definitely be able to sell it for a high price.”Another person said happily.
"If it were me, I would give it to my lord. Since it's a high-grade item that I've never heard of before, isn't it better to use it to please the lord? Perhaps you won't have to stand and patrol every day.”Fang Jie kindly suggested.
" Wu…" The two of them thought about it and couldn't help but lean towards this direction.
After they stood up straight again, they coughed and pretended to be serious."We agree to your deal. However, because the way you appeared was too strange, you have to wait here for three days…If we can confirm that you are not Kabane, we will let you go. At that time…"
"Ah, it belongs to you!”Fang Jie said the word 'deal' and extended his hand to the other party."Well, now, give me the food…I'm really hungry.”
The guard handed the bag over.
After Fang Jie got the food, he saw the guard turn around to leave.”He stopped the guard." How about transferring the people from the next cell to me? It's not like you guys will chat with me. It's very boring to be alone.”
The guard looked at the other guard. The latter nodded, and he walked up to open the cell next door.
"Come out." He said to that person in a vicious tone.
Fang Jie quickly saw the appearance of the person next door... He was about 16 or 17 years old, wearing glasses, looking unhappy, and his hair was messy. The clothes they were wearing looked like a uniform.
The young man was pushed into Fang Jie's cell.
He did not approach Fang Jie and chose to sit opposite him.
After the prison door closed and the guard left, Fang Jie threw one of the food to him.
This surprised the young man. He didn't go to get it immediately.
"…Take it as a reward for asking you a question.”Fang Jie said to him.
The young man hesitated for a moment before picking up the food." What do you want to ask?”
Fang Jie untied the string on his food and whispered,""Because the content is quite special, I hope that after you hear it, your reaction will not be too intense…Oh, it looks a little like a rice ball.”
The second half of the sentence was his reaction after seeing the contents of the food.
