Chapter Thirty-Six: I Can't Bear It
The two walked out of the restaurant, Lin Chu looked at Lan Jing and stopped, Xiao Jing just told a lie, why did Xiao Jing tell a lie?
Lan Jing ignored him, this kind of thing and his explanation were not clear, so why bother. After inquiring about the direction of the cattle trading house, the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info went straight there.
The cattle trading line was not far away, and it was about a cup of tea, and two people walked there.
As soon as he walked to the door, Lan Jing couldn't help but hold his breath, the smell was too bad, the body odor and poop smell of pigs, horses, cows, sheep and other animals were mixed together, and it felt like a dung pit.
Although Lan Jing wanted to buy it quickly and leave, he couldn't find a suitable one after seeing a few of them.
No one would sell the ewe that had just given birth to a lamb, and in the end she had to come out disappointed.
Out of the livestock trading house, Lan Jing was not in the mood to go shopping again, and after looking at the time, he felt that it was not too early, so he proposed to go back.
Lin Chu nodded without thinking about it, and the two walked towards the carriage and horse shop.
Passing by the human population trading house, there was a cry inside, Lan Jing looked inside curiously, a bunch of people were gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.
She was curious for a moment and pulled Lin Chu in, only to see a girl sitting on the ground, her face was muddy, tears and snot were snot on her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, with a lot of whip marks on her body, looking bloody, and the faces of the people around her were numb.
Lan Jing didn't know the situation, so he asked an uncle next to him in a whisper.
The uncle glanced at Lan Jing and replied, "This Chen Yapo plans to sell this little girl to Liu Yuanwai's father as a concubine, but this little girl refuses to live or die." Now Chen Yapo wants to sell her to Chunxiang Building, and then this little girl is even more unwilling and wants to die. Hey, that's so easy to die for. ”
Lan Jing nodded, it is not easy to live, and it is difficult to die.
As soon as the two strong men grabbed the little girl and were about to drag it out, Lan Jing looked at the despair in the little girl's eyes and suddenly couldn't bear it, and said, "Wait a minute, how much silver is this little girl, I bought it." ”
"This little girl is very tough, are you sure you want to buy her?" said a woman in her mid-forties dressed plainly.
Lan Jing glanced at her, "Are you?"
"I am the Ya Po here, and my husband's surname is Chen. Chen Yapo looked Lan Jing up and down.
"I just don't have a fire girl at home, and I think she's willing. Lan Jing smiled.
"She's not cheap, it's a pity to buy it to light the fire, if you need it, I can introduce you to a better one." Chen Yapo said with a sneer.
"How much?" Lan Jing asked directly, she only had more than fifty taels on her, I don't know if Lin Chu had any silver. If it's not enough, then you can't help it.
Chen Yapo stretched out two fingers, "Twenty taels." ”
Lan Jing sighed in her heart, a living big girl is only twenty taels, and she just went to ask the price of horses, which are generally thirty or forty taels, and people are so cheap.
Her stunned look made Ya Po mistakenly think that it was too expensive, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This little girl looks very iconic, and she is also a leader in laundry and cooking." Of course, if you're too expensive, we've got a better one here..."
"Big... Uncle, you buy me, I promise to work hard. I... I don't want to be bought to that kind of place. The little girl said.
Lan Jing smiled, "What if you want to be my stupid son as a daughter-in-law?"
"I... I... As long as it's not a concubine, I'm willing. The little girl cried.
"Okay, go wash your face and follow me. Lan Jing was very satisfied with what she had just said, she was afraid that she would buy a maid and climb into her father's bed when the time came, and then stir up the family unrest.
Lan Jing handed over the money, took her deed of sale, and waited on the side.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the little girl walked out, seeing this little girl, Lan Jing couldn't help but sigh that the world is so small, turn a corner and encounter it, this is clearly the little girl who was saved on Guanyin's birthday.
The little girl walked over and stood very stiffly opposite Lan Jing, looking like she had nowhere to put her hands.
Lan Jing chuckled, "Don't be nervous, just follow me." He said and walked ahead.
When they arrived at the carriage and horse shop, Lan Jing directly gave 400 Wen, and the three of them embarked on the journey home.
Lan Jing didn't want to probe into other people's privacy and expose other people's scars, but when she thought that it was someone she was going to live with, she asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "It's okay at home, I, I"
She glanced at Lan Jing timidly, and then said: "My name is Ge Juhua, I am the eldest sister at home, this year's Guanyin Festival, I went to worship Guanyin on behalf of my mother, but I met a hooligan." ”
"I... I'm still innocent, there was a kind sister who saved me, no one knew about it, and that sister asked me not to say anything, but I still said that I leaked,"
"I'm in the same village as Ge Xiaoyu, and the whole village treats me as a friend, but I didn't expect it, I told her that I met a hooligan, but she said that she had told others, and then the whole village said that I was insulted by the hooligans,"
"Then, Brother Zhang Tian's family came to quit his family, and my father and mother thought that I would definitely not be able to get married, so they sold me. So as not to stay at home and affect the family affairs of my sisters. ”
After speaking, he looked at the car curtain, and there was a dead silence in his red and swollen eyes.
"Do you want to go home?" Lan Jing asked.
Ge Juhua shook her head, "I don't have a home anymore, they don't need me anymore." ”
"What if they find you in the future and tell you that they still miss you very much, they want you to go back, and the family is also in trouble and want you to help?" Lan Jing asked.
It's not that she has a dark heart, she really doesn't want to bring back a thief to her family, she is afraid of meeting that kind of poor and hateful person.
Ge Juhua was stunned for a moment, and said firmly: "I didn't think that they would look for me again, but I have been sold, which means that I am dead." Sir, give me a name. ”
Lan Jing thought for a while and said, "Lan Xiao, your name is Lan Xiao, Xiao who knows righteousness." ”
Ge Juhua was stunned, "I... I..."
"Actually, my family is not a rich family, you have seen me before, the one who rescued you in the grove," Lan Jing said.
Ge Juhua opened her mouth wide in surprise, and said for a long time: "Great, I didn't say thank you to you because I was so scared that day, and today you saved me again." Thank you, I'll do my job. ”
Lan Jing smiled, "I didn't save you to get your thanks, but your sincere thanks to me will indeed make me feel happy, as if I was recognized." ”
"How old are you?" Lan Jing asked again.
"I'm sixteen,"
"Okay, my name is Lan Jing, you can call me Jing'er, I have four younger sisters in my family who are Xiu, Yue, Qi, and Xuan, and the three younger brothers are Hao, Xin, and Shen, my father's name is Lan Youfu, and my mother's name is Wang Zhuzhu," Lan Jing said.
Lan Xiao nodded, "Well, I remember."
