Chapter 37: The Dog and the Girl
The woman in front of her is only twenty years old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, these two children, the eldest is a teenager, and the younger one is seven or eight years old.
Most of the people in this era can't keep up with their nutrition, and their development is much slower than in the era of Rongbai, let alone having a child at the age of twelve or thirteen.
"She's my stepmother. The young man took his sister who had escaped in his arms and said to Rong Bai.
In this era, parents can decide the fate of their children, whether they are biological parents or adoptive parents. So the young man's meaning is very clear.
The price quoted by his father was the price, and the price quoted by his mother was also the price. Either price, you can buy both of them.
Seeing that Rong Bai was a little moved, the woman rubbed her fingers excitedly. Then he diligently took out two pieces of paper from his bosom. "Girl, this is their deed of sale, and I have asked someone to write it. Three taels of silver, and I will give it to you. ”
Rong Bai originally prepared a dozen taels of silver to make weapons, but as a result, the money was not used at all, and now he does have more than ten taels of silver on his body. Turning around, he counted three taels of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, and exchanged the deed of sale from the woman's hand.
The young man took his sister and left behind the Rong Baiban car, without even looking back.
It wasn't until they got on Rong Bai's boat that the two children told about their previous living conditions. In Rong Bai's words, this is the story of his father marrying his stepmother and becoming a scumbag.
The mother of the two children died in childbirth when she gave birth to her daughter. It didn't take long for the child's father to marry the current lady. The life of the two children is simply dire.
Even if they got on Rong Bai's boat, the two children were not calm. The boy held the little girl tightly in his arms and took care of his sister as a protector.
Such a scene made Rong Bai want to cry. At the beginning, didn't he protect Xiaoheng like this teenager.
The river is already in drought and has shrunk considerably. After Rong Bai arrived on the other side, he had to pull the boat to the dock and tie it up. Teenagers and little girls also followed to help.
Then, the two of them entered Rong Bai's house.
Rong Bai's home subverted their perception of home. Flat bluestone slabs that stretch from the pier to the yard. Once in the courtyard, the bluestone slab became the path to all the buildings. In such an environment, even if it rains, your shoes will not be dirty at all.
All the houses are wooden houses, which look beautiful and clean compared to ordinary thatched houses.
The yard is not small, and there are bamboo leaves in it that Rong Bai didn't have time to throw away. A small canal that leads from the yard to the outside. The clear water flows, and just like that, it flows outside.
The little girl was young, and she swallowed her saliva when she watched the water, and then she fell on the ground and drank it despite her brother's obstruction.
The young man looked at Qing Shui and swallowed his saliva, but he didn't act like a little girl. Both were pulled out early in the morning and hadn't drunk a drop of water since the morning.
"Lift the kid up, the water is cleaner. A warm and nice voice sounded not far away. When the little girl looked up, she was attracted by the fairy sitting on a chair at the source of the water.
The boy also saw Hengqing, but this time Hengqing was more energetic than the one he had seen before, and he was looked at by those gentle eyes, and the boy felt that his whole body was comfortable.
Rong Bai dragged the little girl lying on the ground up, walked to the edge of the pool, and let her play in the water by herself. He took out two neatly folded pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket.
"There were people selling children on the street, and I happened to know the teenager, and seeing that they were pitiful, I bought them. Rong Bai handed the paper to Hengqing: "They will be at home during this time, if you have anything to help, let them do it." ”
Hengqing raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, in Rong Bai's words, she is not a person with a mother's heart, as for compassion, if she can know that the drought is coming, she can still think of a person who can resell food, and she definitely has no compassion.
Therefore, the boy and the child, there must be something that touched Rong Bai. Rong Bai's behavior and behavior obviously do not match her background, and there are not many opportunities to understand Rong Bai, obviously this is a good opportunity.
"My family and Uchiko are not wealthy, if you are willing to stay, you will stay. As for this deed of sale, it is better to invalidate. With that, Hengqing tore up the deed of sale in his hand and threw it into the pool.
The fluttering paper was gradually soaked with the clear water in the pool, and floated out of the house in the direction of the current.
Rong Bai's brows furrowed for no reason, this was bought for three taels of silver, and in exchange for Rong Bai's era, it was 3,000 credit points, which was torn apart.
Poof.
The boy knelt on the ground, and when the startled little girl saw the boy's movements, she didn't care about playing in the water, ran to the boy's side, and knelt down in a proper manner.
"Master, master, the life of the dog and his sister was saved by you, even if there is no deed of sale, the dog will be the slave of the master and the master for the rest of his life. ”
The young man's voice was very firm, and it really infected Hengqing. His little servant and the deed of sale were there, so he left his disabled legs, but this young man, obviously without the deed of sale, was willing to follow him.
Hengqing turned his head and glanced at Rong Bai, and sure enough, Rong Bai's eyes were much better than his own.
It's just that at this look, Hengqing's face almost darkened. Because Rong Bai was laughing, and it was the kind of laugh that couldn't help it, even if he was desperately covering his mouth, the laughter still came out from between his fingers.
No way, this boy's name is ridiculous. Rong Bai thought, fortunately, he was abandoned without a name, if he took a name like this young man, I am afraid that he would have been ridiculed to death by his friends who grew up together.
Dog, is it really a name?
However, Rong Bai forgot that the name of his body was still called Dumb Girl.
The young man kneeling on the ground naturally heard Rong Bai's laughter. It's just that he doesn't understand why he is still being teased for such a formal display of loyalty.
"Your name is Dog, what's your sister's name?" Rong Bai's laughter barely stopped, knowing that Hengqing's face was dark.
"Girl. The little girl's voice was not as crisp as that of ordinary children, but with the caution that children should not have.
Sure enough, there are no good names for people in this world. Rong Bai put his suspicions into practice, and then turned his head to look at Hengqing, other people's names are either dogs or girls, how did he come up with such a nice name.
"What is Xiao Bai looking at?" Rong Bai looked at his gaze so puzzled, Heng Qing wondered if there was something wrong with him.
"Their names are so ugly, why are your names so good. Rong Bai finally asked his question.
Hengqing showed a clear smile before he explained: "Although Linjiang County is relatively reasonably governed, it is not considered to be wealthy, and many families cannot raise children. The old people say that children can be supported by a cheap name. ”
"Then why don't you call it a dog?" asked Rong Bai subconsciously.
