Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone
Chapter 503 The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 16
The people in the team ignored her and continued to leave.
Chajiu didn't panic, bit off the cuff at his wrist, and raised his hand high: "I have a gold cufflink in my hand. I want to make a deal with you and save the two of us. How about it?"
The team members finally turned around.
Several people stared at the gold in her hand, their eyes shining.
You know, such a small piece of gold is enough for their family to eat white bread for several months!
In fact, Cha Jiu has something more valuable.
For example, sapphires, green jade, etc. are all auction grade.
But gold is obviously easier to circulate, and there is no special mark, so it is not easy to reveal her identity.
The team members were moved, and they all changed their attitudes and persuaded the captain, the middle-aged man, to save the person.
Among the team, there was only one girl with a pretty face but a short stature who was always vigilant and opposed to rescuing two people of unknown origin.
But after she saw Lance who was unconscious and leaning on Cha Jiu's shoulder, she suddenly changed her mind.
"Uncle, let's save them. After all, it's two lives." She turned to the middle-aged man and advised him.
Finally, the middle-aged man asked the team members to pull the two people out of the swamp.
He tried: "Generally those who go into dangerous places like the rainforest to look for spice roots are poor people who don't have enough to eat. Since you have gold, why do you take risks?"
Chajiu's face remained unchanged and he talked nonsense: "We are the male servants of the Baroness. Because we stole her gold cufflinks a few days ago, we were chased all the way and escaped here."
The system has found out that this asteroid is the territory of a certain baron.
But it doesn't understand why the host is lying.
But it soon became clear.
After listening to Cha Jiu's words, the members of the picking team looked at each other, exchanging greedy and scheming looks.
That's right.
The original plan of the team members was to rescue Cha Jiu and Lance, take the gold and leave, leaving them to fend for themselves in the rain forest, regardless of life or death.
But now, they decided to take these two people out of the rainforest and hand them over to the Baroness to receive the reward.
This way they can earn double the benefits and eat from both ends.
The system was stunned: "Why is this human heart so dark and colorful?"
Cha Jiu said calmly: "Human nature is always greedy, but it is precisely thanks to this that we can make them driven by us."
So now, these people will send her and Lance safely out of the rainforest even for the reward of the Baroness.
The system once again admired its host's character and methods: "Chacha, you are really starting to look like an imperial princess now."
Make good use of people's hearts and strategize.
Cha Jiu smiled.
She has no regrets or guilt for taking advantage of these people.
In this game of human nature, both sides have their own agenda.
Since Lance was unconscious and aggravated by his injuries, the team members provided a simple stretcher for him to lie on.
However, the task of carrying the stretcher fell on Cha Jiu and the short girl, because everyone else was carrying dozens of kilograms of weapons and tools for picking spices, and only their shoulders were the easiest.
Although Cha Jiu was exhausted, he didn't say anything and just followed behind to carry the stretcher.
The short girl was carrying the stretcher in front and was responsible for guiding the way.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Cha Jiu always felt that the short girl seemed to be a bit targeted at her.
The other party ignored the flat and easy roads, and instead carried the stretcher to places that were full of thorn bushes or piles of sharp rocks.
Chajiu followed her, and soon he felt that the sole of his foot was scratched by a sharp stone, causing burning pain.
So she spoke and said to the short girl: "Let's change positions. You carry the stretcher in the back, and I go to the front."
The short girl stopped and turned back to sneer at her: "You don't know the way, so you can only follow me."
Chajiu insisted: "I'll just follow everyone's direction."
The two were at loggerheads.
In the end, the whole team stopped and looked at them impatiently.
The middle-aged man came over after hearing the sound, looking slightly worried: "What's wrong?"
Chajiu glanced at the short girl with a tough attitude and chose to retreat instead of advance.
"Why don't we walk separately," she said. "My companion is too seriously injured, and I am walking slowly. I don't want to slow down everyone's progress in finding spice roots."
After saying that, Cha Jiu knelt down and planned to carry Lance away.
How could anyone be willing to fly away with the bounty they were about to receive?
They all blamed the short girl: "Anna, what's wrong with you switching places with me? It's getting dark and the road is still far away, so don't cause trouble."
Even the middle-aged man frowned and reprimanded his niece: "Anna, don't be so petty and go to the back to carry the stretcher."
It's not like he didn't notice that Anna deliberately embarrassed Cha Jiu.
But she is her niece after all.
So he turned a blind eye all the way.
Anna was not convinced and had no choice but to do so.
When passing Cha Jiu, she said coldly in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know that you are a woman disguised as a man. Although the clothes you are wearing are tattered, I can tell they are the skirts of a noble lady, you liar!"
Cha Jiu thought she was confused.
What does it have to do with whether she is a woman or not?
However, in order to avoid trouble, she still said perfunctorily: "I am indeed a man, but the Baroness likes to dress me up as a girl for fun. You know, nobles always have some strange hobbies."
Anna was dubious.
Chajiu simply took off the clothes on his chest to show her.
Flat and nothing.
Anna blushed and looked away, complaining: "What, how rude..."
However, after learning that Cha Jiu was a man, her attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
Not only did he put down his guard and take aim, but he also chatted eagerly with Cha Jiu, asking about Lance's basic situation overtly and covertly.
For example, age, whether you are married...
Cha Jiu also gleaned a lot of useful information from the conversation.
In this remote and backward Gamma Planet, almost 90% of the indigenous people are poor and cannot even afford to eat.
Fortunately, this place is one of the richest sources of raw materials for spices commonly used by Princess Siris. The empire spends a large amount of star coins to purchase spice rhizomes from here every year, so it indirectly supports many poor people who make money by picking spices and selling them.
However, this spice rhizome is difficult to find and difficult to pick.
It grows in the deepest parts of the rainforest, and specifically in nests of extremely dangerous leaf-cutting ants.
People who pick it often have to go through many dangers, life and death tests, and even broken arms and legs are considered minor injuries.
Therefore, spice pickers will spontaneously form teams to reduce casualties and losses through cooperation. Anna and the others are one such team.
The middle-aged man is the captain and Anna's uncle, named Lawrence.
Cha Jiu didn't remember the names of the rest.
She had been paying part of her attention to Lance, seeing the injuries on his back healing slowly while still mumbling something.
While the team was taking a break, Anna left temporarily.
Cha Jiu leaned over to listen.
