Chapter 3: The Prop Gun Demonstrates Its Marvelous Powers

"No problem, we need manpower right now," Tang Wen waved his hand.

"How much silver do you need?" Zhang Dongwen asked.

Tang Wen once again saw that mysterious space, and the popularity index on the large screen changed to 76

Moreover, he also trained in martial arts with an old Taoist for ten years

"I will give you thirty taels of silver as the price for my servitude, with a monthly allowance of one tael. By the way, do you have any family?" Tang Wen knew that this person was the leader; as long as he could take him down, the entire group would be dealt with. At that point, he would gain popularity.

So many? Li was so frightened that his hands trembled

Master, I have counted, and there are only about thirty able-bodied men. Including their family members, there are as many as sixty-two people. With such a large family joining the Tang family, the cost of meals will be considerable

Instantly, the sensation of energy within the body became ten times clearer than before

We are fellow townsfolk, my lord. Could you spare them some food? We do not need much, just enough for the women, children, and the elderly.

"Master Tang, we are also willing to sell ourselves to the Tang family," Sun Ping said as he approached.

"Master Tang, what will happen to my father?" Zhan Junru asked anxiously upon hearing this

What is going on

"Master Tang has spoken, and I, Zhan Dongwen, am resolute. Regardless of whether the treatment is effective or not, we will sign." Zhan Dongwen said with a determined expression

I am also from Liangzhou, " said Tang Wen.

I do not want silver; I only want you to ensure that my father receives proper medical care" said Zhang Junru, with tears in her eyes

I am sorry, I am sorry!" Zhang Shifeng quickly said

"Sir, my name is Sun Ping. Could you please call my family to join us as well?" the monkey-faced one asked pitifully

"Sure, have your families come over, and we will all be together," said Tang Wen

Each person sells themselves for fifteen taels of silver, and every month, they will return half a tael of silver as a customary payment

In the next moment, I felt several acupoints in my body being impacted by something, as if wood were striking against the city gate, producing a thudding sound.

If it weren't for the fact that they all died following me, I wouldn't have ended up in a situation where I had to block the bridge said Zhang Dongwen

Everyone hasn't eaten for two days; we can't just starve to death," said Zhang Dongwen weakly.

"We have made up our minds, and we are willing to do so," said Zhang Junru and a few others, nodding in agreement.

The thickness of an adult's hair is comparable to several strands, while the thickest hair on Zhan Dongwen's head is about the size of a dozen strands of hair

I am also willing to sell myself, to serve Lord Tang as a beast of burden. " Zhang Qingmei also ran over and knelt down together.

Suddenly, both Li Quan and Zhang Kui were taken aback, wondering where the master had obtained a firearm

"Others are priced the same as them, consider it yourself," said Tang Wen

There was truly no other way, and recently this bridge indeed lost a few stone slabs, which we brought in to replace.

Tang Wen knew that his strength had increased somewhat and that he should have entered the mid-stage of the Ninth Rank

"Alright, I will ask them," Zhang Dongwen said, nodding as he walked away

Master Tang, please buy me.

Tang Wen is a military enthusiast and is certainly interested in this

Before I could bear children, my husband passed away, and now I am all alone

I know a little, I studied a bit with a doctor before said Tang Wendi, nodding his head

Bang!

If you continue like this, you will eventually starve or fall ill. Instead, why not join my Tang family as servants

At this moment, Zhan Dongwen came over with a few people, "Master, this is my eldest sister Zhan Junru, who is twenty years old

Sigh..." Zhang Dongwen let out a long sigh and knelt down before Tang Wen, saying, "Our entire family is willing to sell ourselves to the Tang family, forsaking silver; the only condition is to cure my father's illness.

"Master Tang, can you treat illnesses?" asked Zhan Junru

"You have contracted a cold, and you must treat it promptly. Otherwise, it will only worsen," said Tang Wen

When we arrived, there were still over 100 people. Along the way, half of them died from illness or starvation, and now only we remain.

"He has a firearm!" someone shouted in fear, and immediately, everyone stopped in terror.

This is my second younger sister, Zhan Qingmei, who is already 15 years old and still not married and has not yet pursued her studies

Father, I cannot bear to see you die

A single firecracker, when detonated, merely emits sparks and smoke; it is nothing more than a prop gun used in television dramas

Tang Wen was taken aback

At the same time, Tang Wen discovered that columns of air were surging towards him from the heads of Zhan Dongwen and the others.

Can these 'popularities' really help oneself to break through?

"Is the gentleman truly from Liangzhou?" asked the man with the monkey-like face

There are five family members in total, including my younger sister and parents, " said Zhandong.

If you continue like this, it won't be a viable situation. I, the noble, cannot agree to your demands of blocking the bridge and collecting fees again said Tang Wen

These air columns vary in size, with some as small as a child's hair

As for food, clothing, and other necessities, they are all provided by the Tang family, ensuring ample supply!" said Tang Wen

Under their leadership, it was not long before everyone signed on.

"I have met Lord Tang." As soon as Zhang Shifeng opened his mouth, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, splattering it all over Tang Wen.

"Then you must be just in your early twenties?" Tang Wen was taken aback, thinking to himself how could you look so old, I thought you were thirty.

Ding dong! You have gained 62 popularity points and can initiate the second time travel at any time. As long as you press the wooden chain and silently recite 'I am the great landlord,' you will be able to activate it. At this moment, the great landlord system has responded again.

Tang Wen shot into the sky twice, and immediately, the fire blazed. The stars were shrouded in smoke, appearing to possess formidable power

"It should be fine, but the medicine is just very expensive," Tang Wen said

In fact, this prop gun does not contain any bullets

"No... no, Junru, your husband has passed away, and you have already suffered enough. If your father is dead, then he is dead; I cannot allow you to suffer any further" said Zhang Shifeng, quickly shaking his hand.

Alright, then let's draft the contract first. Tang Wen was actually retreating to advance, and Zhang Dongwen indeed fell into the trap.

My lord, my name is Zhan Dongwen, and I am a disaster victim from Dongting County in Liangzhou.

Tang Wen quickly activated the family's "Six Mysteries Returning to True Technique" to guide his breath. In just a few seconds, his body trembled, and Tang Wen felt several acupoints being opened.

"Can you let my father see me, please save my father, I... I am willing to sell myself to the Tang family as a servant!" Zhang Junru pleaded in fear as she knelt down.

Just as he was thinking, Tang Wen suddenly felt a wave of suffocation, realizing that those people had crazily drilled into his body.

"Junru, just let me die. I have been sick and a burden to you all, I will only bring harm to you. If I die, you will be better off." Zhan Shifeng said tearfully

Sir, I have received an education

Many people are still bringing their families along, and in these past few days, no one has crossed the bridge. We have not received any money either

If there is no medication, it is very likely that one will die, Tang Wen said

Alright. In an instant, the entire venue erupted, and everyone shouted as they ran back.

This gun was originally placed in Luo Jun's room, and it is said to have been given by a friend who performed Qing Dynasty plays. Its appearance is quite similar to that of the short-barreled firearms from the Qing Dynasty

You must think carefully; after selling yourself to the Tang family, you will become their servant, and you must be loyal to the Tang family without question. This is not something I am forcing you to do, " Tang Wen said with a cold expression.

I have already married and you need not concern yourself with me any longer

Is this what is meant by 'popularity'

"Of course, this Koh Samui was left by the ancestors of Master Tang," Li Quan said

"This contract of servitude will not be signed for now. If your father's illness cannot be cured, I will take not a single penny." said Tang Wen

"About three to four hundred taels," said Tang Wen.

My father is Zhan Shifeng, and my mother is Li Lanyue

With a series of crisp sounds, Tang Wen, holding a prop gun for the performance, shouted, "Whoever dares to come up, I will shoot first!"

Luo Jun gave it to him, and unexpectedly, it was able to intimidate a group of ancient people

Since it belongs to Lord Tang, as long as you give us 15 dou of rice, we will withdraw now and will never block again

I am also twenty years old, and I am a fraternal twin with my sister; I was born first, " said Zhang Dongwen a bit awkwardly.

"Master Tang, can you really cure my father's illness?" Zhang Dongwen asked Master Tang with a fixed gaze.

In just about ten minutes, the women, family members, and children all arrived

"Master Tang, please save my father, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse." Zhan Junru began to bow her head in reverence.
