Shimen Bridge, as the name suggests, is surrounded by mountains, and there are dozens of high mountains of all sizes near and far.

And on every mountain, all are the same barren, with barren grass and strange rocks.

Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming retracted their eyes and smiled bitterly, here, it is really a poor and remote place, no wonder, there are people here.

"Don't look at it, let's go to town first. Lin Hexuan said, just take a step and leave.

Ji Boming helped Xiaoxi all the way, and the three of them inquired all the way to the so-called town.

From this side of the town, as far as the eye can see, the whole road sees the end.

In other words, the whole town is only half a mile away, and the so-called most prosperous street is barely wide enough to pass a horse-drawn carriage.

On both sides of the street, there are a few shops that can barely support themselves, and when people walk at the door of the shop, they can see all the goods in the shop at a glance.

In a grain and rice shop, most of the large wooden boxes with black lacquered rice were empty, and only a few buckets of brown rice were pitifully small in the wooden boxes.

The ground of the street is full of potholes, and when people step on it, they must be carefully watched, so as not to accidentally stumble on it.

The houses on both sides of the main street, low and dilapidated, are not as good as the kennels of rich families.

To say this, it seems to be a bit of a defilement of the people of this place, but it is true.

The pedestrians on the street were in tatters, like people in a beggar gang.

Leng Xiaoxi, Ji Boming, and Lin Hexuan appeared here.

The gorgeous costumes on their bodies, their extraordinary manners, appearances, and conversations soon attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

People hid in the corners, whispering to them, wondering, where did such people come from?

"Ahem, look, this is someone from the capital, right?"

"Needless to say, based on the clothes they are wearing, they must be the young ladies and young masters of wealthy and official families in the capital. ”

"Maybe it's still from the palace, maybe it's the prince and grandson. ”

Leng Xiaoxi and the others were not happy at all for the guidance and praise of the people.

"Boming, this place is also too poor, no wonder there are so many bandits and bandits. ”

Before Ji Boming could speak, Lin Hexuan, who had seen through Leng Xiaoxi's thoughts, spoke.

"Yes! If we want to completely eradicate the bandits, I am afraid that we must start from the roots. ”

"Xiaoxi, ...... you ask like this? Could it be that you have any plans?"

Ji Boming saw Leng Xiaoxi ask like this, and Lin Hexuan answered like this, and he couldn't help but ask after realizing it.

"This, I still need to investigate, investigate. Seeing through the two of them, Leng Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed.

It's just a preliminary idea, and if she wants to really implement it, she knows that it won't be so easy.

The people here have not changed their banditry, and most of the people in this place have lived like this for generations.

If you want to govern from the roots, their deep-rooted ideas are not something that can be improved overnight.

Actually, Leng Xiaoxi had to return to Xingshan Village this time, she was planning what she was going to do.

It's just that the plan is difficult to make in Xingshan Village.

Because, the villagers of Xingshan Village, the labor force over there has been almost mobilized by her.

The candied fruit factory, the fruit wine and beer workshop, the villagers called Xingshan Village everyone have a job to do.

With the new idea, Xingshan Village really doesn't have that much extra manpower.

And since this morning, Ji Boming wanted to control the behavior of the mountain bandits, which made her eyes light up.

As Ji Boming's wife, she has an obligation to help him, so a new plan is formed in her heart.

Shimenqiao County is not far from the capital, if the factory is established, it will be convenient for her to manage, and second, when she comes to guide, it will be close to the back and forth.

Setting up the factory here, Leng Xiaoxi plans to do so in the long run, mainly to deal with the poverty here.

Just when the three of them were thinking about their own thoughts!

Suddenly, a terrible howl suddenly sounded, attracting the people who were already talking about the three of them.

"Oh, I can't live anymore, you sent my Sanya to the bandits, can she still live? You're still not Sanya's father......"

The people's good faith and Lin Hexuan's attention were also attracted, and they followed the sound and walked over quickly.

A dilapidated man, who could not be at the door of the dilapidated fence gate, was a man about 1.7 meters tall, who wore a hat on his head and flew off the edge.

Beneath the hat was a scrawny face, the man's clothes patched on top of each other, and on his feet were a pair of shabby cloth shoes with their toes exposed.

The man was holding a girl who looked like she was only in her teens, with a thin body and prominent cheekbones.

The girl's bony hands clung to the door frame, and on the girl's side was a pale-faced woman, pulling the girl's other arm.

"Daddy, you can do well, Sanya is only thirteen, you send her to the mountain, wouldn't it be ruined by those bad people, how can Sanya marry. ”

"The girl is a loser, and marrying someone else is also someone else's, so it's better to send her to the mountain now, and she can get back a bucket of rice. ”

"His father, just look at the bucket of rice in front of you, our Sanya will grow up soon, and when she grows up, she will be able to work, and if she works, she will be able to support you. ”

"Don't be obedient, Lao Tzu doesn't believe you this time, you said bluntly at the beginning, the eldest girl and the second girl can support the family when they grow up, but what happened later, they didn't get married, they never returned home, our family is going to starve to death, is it possible that you think that our two sons will really die." ”

The man who pulled the girl glared at him.

When the old woman heard this, her hand loosened.

"Mother...... Mother, you don't want Sanya, do you really want your father to send me up the mountain?"

The girl's mournful cry made the old lady suddenly open her hand, wanting to pull, but not daring to pull, opening her hand for some reason, it was heartbreaking to see.

Her father...... Her father...... Whining. ”

Those who watched the excitement, every one who stood up to speak, and none of them were talking about it.

Some sigh and sigh.

The girl was finally broken by the man, and the hand pulling the door frame was broken, and the girl cried bitterly.

"Daddy...... Daddy, mother, mother, mother......"

Leng Xiaoxi couldn't watch it anymore, she had only seen such scenes on TV before, and since she crossed here, she has also seen too many life and death, and the separation of flesh and blood.

However, since she saw such a thing, there was no reason for her to ignore it.

"Wait. ”

The unhurried voice made the man's hand tremble majestically, and he turned his head to see a beautiful woman he had never seen before, as if she had come out of a painting.

He blinked his eyes and timidly asked, "You...?" He wanted to ask who you were.

However, he didn't dare, and when he turned around, his eyes lit up.

If Sanya is bought by these rich people to be girls, it will be more than the silver given to the thieves.

Therefore he strengthened his courage.

"You guys, you buy these three girls! don't have too much silver, just one or two. ”

One or two pieces of silver can buy a big living person, this thing sounds funny, but Leng Xiaoxi can't laugh, she feels sad.

The girl woke up from her fright, looked at the three people in front of her, and the noble nobility on them made her immediately fall to her knees as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Three great benefactors, Sanya looks good when he sees you, and he is a good person. ”

Sanya said, crawled a few steps, and came to Leng Xiaoxi.

"This sister, you can do well, save Sanya! Sanya doesn't want to leave my mother, and Sanya doesn't want her brother to starve to death. ”

Leng Xiaoxi bent down and helped Sanya up, Sanya stood up and looked up at Leng Xiaoxi, who was looking at him carefully.

This sister is really good-looking, is she someone sent by the Queen Mother?

And Leng Xiaoxi naturally looked at Sanya carefully, although this girl was thin, her big eyes were full of spirituality.

As soon as this girl saw it, she knew that she could make a difference in the future.

"Do you know how to make shoes?" Leng Xiaoxi looked at Sanya fixedly, and asked this nonsensical sentence.

"Making shoes?" Sanya was also stunned.

This sister who doesn't know how to describe it doesn't ask anything else, how can she ask if she can make shoes.

Leng Xiaoxi asked like this, Lin Hexuan was not surprised at all, just now, he felt that Leng Xiaoxi must have some plan.

And Ji Boming is even more like this, Leng Xiaoxi crossed over by herself, and the thing she did was not an accident for herself.

There are too many accidents added together, so what Leng Xiaoxi does, in Ji Boming's opinion, is not an accident.

"What did my sister ask you?" Sanya's stunned stunned Ji Boming, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be anxious.

He reminded Sanya, and Sanya suddenly came to her senses, this sister must want to ask herself to make shoes for her family!

"Yes, yes, yes. I can make shoes, not only I can, but my mother is also a good job. ”

Sanya said, stretched out her feet, and asked Leng Xiaoxi to look.

"Sister, you see, these shoes were made for me by my mother. Sanya said, came to his father's face, and pointed to the shabby and unshapeable shoes on his father's feet.

"Sister, the shoes that my father wears on his feet are made by me, and my father works in the field every day, and his shoes are broken. ”

When the man saw Sanya like this, he looked at the shoes on his feet and couldn't help but shed tears.

If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would be willing to send their own flesh and blood to the wolf's den.

"Daddy, don't cry. "Sanya Niang, seeing her man crying like this, she came over sadly.

Dad and mother are like this, Sanya doesn't know it, she is trying to sell her craft.

"You wait. ”

Sanya said, spread the girl and ran into the house, and after a while, she came out with a basket in her hand and handed it to Leng Xiaoxi.

"Sister, look, these are the shoes I made for my father. ”

Sanya said, took out one from the basket, and sent the half-finished product that was almost finished to Leng Xiaoxi to show her.
