Huge boats went down the river, and as the boats passed, the water above the canal swayed back and forth, causing ripples.

In the cabin, Yang Ai leaned against the wooden wall of the cabin, her eyes were distracted, and the scenes of the once happy family flashed in her mind.

After a long time, Yang Ai sighed and said to himself in a very small voice: "Brother Bao, where are you now?" I wonder if you were lucky enough to escape the explosion? The slave family really misses you so much. ”

At this moment, the ship docked at a nameless island pier, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, who was fat and seemed to have been swollen, with two mustaches, walked to the hatch of the ship, and stretched out his hand to knock on the plank of the cabin.

Dozens of women in the cabin raised their eyes and looked at the fat man with some fear.

The obese middle-aged man wiped his beard with his fingers, and said to the man in the cabin: "Listen, I originally planned to take you to Yangzhou, but unfortunately, I have reached an agreement with the merchants in Suzhou, and from now on, your master is him." ”

After speaking, he used his finger to point to an old woman beside him who was over half a hundred years old, but was dressed up in fancy clothes and looked extremely disgusting.

The old woman smiled at the people in the cabin and said: "The posture is good, from now on, you all follow me, I am your mother, I will teach you the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't like disobedient people, as long as you are obedient, brocade clothes and jade food are indispensable to you, but if anyone is picky, I will never be soft-hearted, others know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I am good at spicy hands to destroy flowers, remember my words?" ”

These girls in the cabin are a little confused, and you and I say one by one: "Remember...... Remembered. ”

The fat man with the beard banged the wooden board with his fist and shouted, "Louder, haven't you eaten?" ”

"Remember!"

The fat man with the beard smiled and said, "Since you have memorized everything, then you can all get off the boat and go to that flower boat." ”

As soon as they heard that it was a flower boat, the women present all understood what fate was waiting for them?

Yang Ai took Xin Qiji's poetry collection into his arms, gently moved the lotus step, and followed behind those girls, but said with a somewhat lonely expression: "Brother Bao, if you are still alive?" Are you also thinking about the slave family now, and now you are selling it again, even if Brother Bao you are still alive, do we still have a chance to meet? Brother Bao, can you still find the slave family? If it is really degraded, what face does the slave family have to see Brother Bao. ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.

However, Yang Ai was not the only one crying, more than half of the dozens of women were whimpering and crying.

The old woman standing at the hatch of the ship, with her hands on her waist, said loudly: "What are you crying about?" Isn't it that they can't give up your waste men, if they care about you, how can you be reduced to this now, the men who care about you, he can't bear to let you suffer such a crime, they can't give it to you, I can give it to you, brocade clothes, jade food, silk and silk will not be missing you, want men, as long as you are obedient, there are talented scholars, and there are more martial arts knights, if you are lucky, maybe you will meet an official to redeem you, and become the official's concubine, The sparrow flies up the branch and becomes a phoenix, what is there to cry about. ”

Yang Ai, who walked on the deck, looked at the surging water of the canal, cried a few times, and said loudly: "Brother Bao, if you are dead, the slave family will come to accompany you, if you are still alive, the slave family is your person, and death is your ghost." ”

After saying that, he ran directly to the bow of the boat, jumped into the canal, and jumped into the canal.

"Plop"

As Yang Ai jumped into the canal, pieces of water splashed high.

The old woman on the boat hurriedly beckoned some of the entourage around her and said, "Don't be stupid, hurry up and go into the water to save people, she was bought by the old lady for twenty taels of silver, if you drown today, no one wants your monthly money this month." ”

Several entourages beside him, hearing the old woman's words, did not dare to slack off for a moment, and jumped into the canal one after another.

On the dock, a beautiful young woman in her twenties, graceful and beautiful, dressed in a red dress, stood on the dock, looked at the scene in front of her, sighed, and muttered: "What a chaste little girl, I like this character." ”

Several entourages went into the water to salvage, and it didn't take long to salvage Yang Ai ashore.

When Yang Ai was released on the shore, she was already drenched in water, her eyes were closed, and she passed out.

A few attendants walked up to the old woman and said with some trepidation: "Mom, is he drowned?" ”

Looking at Yang Ai lying on the shore, the old woman was also slightly worried, and said to herself: "It's really unlucky, is the twenty taels of silver just like this?" ”

The young woman in the pink dress on the dock hurried a few steps to Yang Ai, stretched out her hand to probe her nose, and touched the major artery.

After making sure that Yang Ai had just fainted, he showed a hint of a smile and squeezed his hands on Yang Ai's abdomen.

After squeezing several times in a row, Yang Aicai spit out a few mouthfuls of water, coughed a few times, and opened his eyes slightly.

The young woman in the pink dress looked at Yang Ai and said with a smile: "Silly girl, why can't you think about it so much, in these days, not to mention us women, even dignified seven-foot men, there are countless people who have sold themselves into slavery, not to mention us weak women." ”

Yang Ai coughed a few times, looked at the young woman in the pink dress, and cried: "The slave family wants to go to Brother Bao'er, the slave family no longer wants to live this kind of upheaval life, the relatives are gone, and the uncle also sold the slave family, and now the only relative is only one brother Bao'er, but the slave family doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, woo woo......"

At this time, the old woman rolled up her sleeves, wiped her shoulders and put her back together, walked up to Yang Ai angrily, pointed at Yang Ai's nose and scolded: "Okay, you are a slut, you are the old lady spent twenty taels of silver to buy, and you actually played this kind of trick of seeking death and life with the old lady, and when you go back, the old lady will find someone to open the buds for you first, and see how you will pretend to be a chaste martyr in the future." ”

Yang Ai was originally just an eight-year-old girl, but now when she heard the old woman's words, she was also so frightened that she trembled like chaff and cried again.

In the face of such a young girl, just imagine, what else can you do besides crying?

The young woman in the pink dress on the side, seeing the appearance of the old woman, walked to the old woman's side with a smile, and said to the old woman: "Mom, the slave family is Xu Buddha of Suzhou Meixiang Building, this little girl is so stubborn, if he looks for death and life again on the way, my mother may lose money, it is better to sell her to the slave family, I don't know what my mother wants?" ”

The old woman smiled, stretched out her hand to Xu Fo and said, "Bring me fifty taels of silver, and I will sell her to you." ”

Xu Fo smiled and said: "You sold it for twenty taels, but now you want to sell it to the slave family for fifty taels, I'm afraid it's a bit ......?" ”

The old woman snorted coldly and said, "If you want to buy it, you can buy it." If you don't buy it, you will dodge, and when you go back, the old lady will find someone to open her buds, a clear person, at least worth fifty taels of the first night. ”

Xu Fo was still light, smiling, and said to the old woman: "Listening to the accent, my mother is also from Jiangnan, and now she is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan. ”

The old woman squinted her eyes, thought for a long time, and felt that what Xu Fo said was completely reasonable, so she forced out a smile and said: "Since you said that you are from Meixianglou, presumably, you also know the rules of the industry?" I bought her for twenty taels of silver, so it is impossible to sell you at the original price! ”

Xu Yi smiled, stretched out his hand and took out a piece of thirty taels of silver and said, "Twenty taels is your capital, and the remaining ten taels are regarded as mother's hard-earned money." ”

After seeing the silver, the old woman smiled all over her face, took the silver in Xu Buddha's hand, checked it, put the silver into her arms, took out dozens of deeds of sale from her arms, looked for a long time, and then handed a deed of sale to the Buddha.

Xu Fo looked at the deed of sale, smiled slightly, put the deed of sale into his arms, and then came to Yang Ai and gently helped Yang Ai.

The smile on Xu Fo's face, just like the flowers in the mountains, gave people a feeling of relaxation and happiness, Xu Fo stretched out his hand to tidy up Yang Ai's already messy hair, and said softly to Yang Ai: "Girl, this is a woman's life, let's be a woman, don't think about it so much, it's better to die than to live, only by living, will there be a day to reunite with your family." ”

Yang Ai didn't pay attention to Xu Fo, but just took out the Xin Qiji's poetry collection that had been wet by the river water from his arms, and looked back and forth, but the ink on the poetry collection was blurred under the soaking of the river.

Xu Fo shook his head and sighed, took out a handkerchief, helped Yang Ai wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said for a long time: "That's it!" You follow me back, I will teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are there with me, I promise you that you are just selling your art and not selling your body, as for the person you like in the future, if someone redeems you for yourself, I will never embarrass you. ”

Yang Ai asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

Xu Fo smiled and said, "Of course it's true, I will care for you like my own daughter." ”

Yang Ai looked at Xu Fo with some puzzlement and asked, "There is no free lunch in the world, you spent dozens of silver, don't you ask for anything in return?" ”

Xu Fo smiled and said, "It's just a few dozen pieces of silver, it's nothing to me?" What I like is your personality. ”

Today's Yang Ai, although she is only eight years old, is not a stupid little girl, and her little head is also flexible enough, after thinking for a while, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xu Fo and said: "You are as amiable as your mother, and the slave family wants to worship you as a godmother." ”

Xu Fo smiled and said to Yang Ai: "It just so happens that I don't have a man and a woman under my knees, and I see that you are also smart and clever, so I will accept you as my goddaughter." ”

As soon as Xu Fo's voice fell, Yang Ai hurriedly kowtowed three times and said, "The godmother is above, Yang Ai kowtowed to the godmother." ”

Xu Fo smiled all over his face, kept nodding, smiled and helped Yang Ai up: "Good daughter, get up, get up." ”

At this time, Bao'er also embarked on a journey to Yangzhou to find Yang Ai with the madman, Bao'er's mother.

The madman hired a carriage at the bazaar, and let Boa's mother sit in the cart and walk on her own, urging Boa'er to practice what he taught.

At this time, Bao'er was sad and couldn't be sad, originally thinking that the madman didn't know where to get some iron bars and iron balls for what purpose.

But it wasn't until the moment of departure that Bao'er finally understood that she had suffered on the way to Yangzhou.

Because of the madman, dozens of pounds of iron bars were tied to Bao'er's legs, even if it didn't matter, Bao'er was not allowed to take a carriage, so he could only rush to Yangzhou on foot.

Bao'er, who usually slips on her legs very fast, is now dragging her heavy steps, and under the scorching sun, she left the Four Seas Inn with some difficulty.
