Tens of thousands of refugees, all driven out of the city, on both sides of the moat, looked chaotic.

Bao'er reached out to cover her stomach, swallowed her saliva, and when she looked back at her mother, she saw her looking at her with tears in her eyes.

Bao'er smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "That, mother, I haven't eaten for two days, and it's not a way to go on like this." ”

Bao'er's mother didn't speak, reached out and took Bao'er's hand, and walked out of the crowd.

The two didn't speak, until they walked to a small river, Bao'er's mother looked around, and found that there was no one, so she reached out and took out a steamed bun from her arms, handed it to Bao'er and said: "This is yesterday morning, my mother secretly hid it, Bao'er eat quickly, don't let people see it." ”

Bao'er took the steamed bun in her mother's hand, and the steamed bun had already been covered by her mother's body temperature.

Bao'er shook her head, handed the steamed bun back to her mother's hand, and said to her mother, "Mother, you can eat it!" I'm not hungry. ”

Bao'er's mother said with a sinking face: "I still said that I was not hungry, my mother heard your stomach screaming, eat quickly!" ”

Bao'er looked at the steamed bun in her mother's hand, sighed and said: "A steamed bun, how can it save the lives of you and me, we still have to think of a long-term strategy, otherwise, sooner or later, it will be difficult to escape starvation." ”

After a long time, Bao'er's mother sighed and said, "Bao'er, you wait here, my mother will think of a way." ”

Suddenly came to this strange place, Bao'er was not familiar with everything here, thinking that her mother might have to go to relatives and friends for help, so she didn't ask the reason, just nodded.

Bao'er's mother, before leaving, had tears in her eyes, but showed a wry smile, looked at Bao'er, and then turned and walked in the direction of the city.

After her mother left, Bao'er came to the river and sat on a piece of bluestone, and inadvertently, he was surprised to see the reflection in the water.

Through the reflection in the water, Bao'er found that she was completely black, as if she had just come out of the coal kiln.

When there was nothing to do, Bao'er went into the water to wash off the stains all over her body, and then slowly went ashore.

It's been two days since I crossed, the backpack on my body has never been opened, and staying alone by the river is boring, silently waiting for someone, which is the loneliest, the most helpless, and the longest time.

So Bao'er opened her backpack and began to check the contents of her bag.

In fact, he knows his own things best, a compass, a tomb robbery shovel, a small hammer, and a miner's lamp at the gate of reincarnation, and he doesn't know where he lost it, and the rest is only a yellow book obtained from Yuan Tiangang's grave, and all that is left is a few worn-out copper coins.

With nothing to do, Bao'er opened the yellow scroll, but fortunately, she learned some traditional Chinese characters from her grandfather, and the words on the scroll were not unrecognizable.

This is not opened, but under the opening, Bao'er is more and more frightened, which records Yuan Tiangang's life's work, looking at the face, touching the bones, divination, astronomy, geography, charms, human meridians, everything.

It took more than two hours for Bao'er to read the scroll hastily, and the "cooing" stomach scream made Bao'er have to put the scroll away.

Rolled up the scroll, put it in the backpack, looked up at the sky, and saw that the scorching sun had already set in the sky, and her mother had not returned, which made Bao'er gradually worried.

Looking in the direction of the city wall, Bao'er said in her heart: "Tens of thousands of refugees, all surrounded outside the city, a female streamer, gone for so long? It can't be any danger! ”

Thinking of this, Bao'er put on her backpack and walked in the direction of the city gate.

Under the scorching sun and the scorching sun, everyone was sweating, and their eyes were slightly narrowed, leaning against the shade of the trees.

In the tens of thousands of people, it is difficult to find a person.

was already hungry, coupled with the crowded crowd, Bao'er was also extremely difficult to walk.

I used to read forensic science, I loved Sherlock Holmes detective mystery novels, and I developed a kind of Bao'er, who observed the subtleties, searched hard, and found a problem, that is, most of the people in the crowd were men, even women, and they were all old ladies, which made Bao'er a little puzzled.

In desperation, Bao'er grabbed the arm of a refugee and asked, "Uncle, please ask, there are still many young women in the morning, where have they all gone now?" ”

The middle-aged man's refugee looked Bao'er up and down, and said a little weakly: "With such short hair, it must be a monk in a temple who is not good at chanting scriptures, and has fallen to such a point of poverty, and I have to inquire about the young woman, and I see that you are not a monk who abides by the rules and precepts." ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the north and said, "Five miles to the north, all the young and beautiful women are there?" Many rich people, the old bustards in the Qinglou, are there to choose a woman who is a little beautiful......"

As soon as Bao'er heard this, she ran away without even saying thank you.

"Alas! I'm not done yet! If you want to buy a little beautiful, a yellow flower girl, at least ten taels of silver, look at your monkey anxious appearance, you must be a flower monk. ”

At this time, Bao'er finally understood that this cheap mother did not go to relatives and friends for help, but planned to sell herself as a slave or sell herself in a green building in exchange for a chance to live, this is maternal love.

As a traveler in the later generations, how could Bao'er let this kind of thing appear in front of her eyes, although she was not her biological mother, but in just two days, she treated herself like her own son, how could Bao'er be indifferent.

Two scuds, a five-mile journey, it didn't take long to arrive, the face was not red, the breath was not panting, but I hadn't eaten for two days, my stomach was hungry, and people were a little swaying.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead and looking towards the crowd, this made Bao'er like a deflated ball.

Because he saw that the women sitting under the shade of the trees were seven or eight years old Lori, there were also teenage beautiful girls, and some, beautiful young women with the charm of, even if there were not ten thousand, there were eight thousand, if there were so many people, looking for a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, from time to time, you will find that some beautiful women are taken away by the old bustard of the Qinglou or the housekeeper of a rich family.

Crying and crying, the noise is as noisy as the vegetable market and the train station during the Spring Festival.

In the vast sea of people, it is difficult to see at a glance where the person you are looking for is, and in desperation, Bao'er began to look for and identify them one by one.

And those old bustards, as well as the officials of rich families, are also selected one by one.

In the shade of a willow tree, Boa's mother, with her arms folded on her knees, sat under the tree, tears streaming down her cheeks.

At this time, an old bustard walked up to Bao'er's mother's side, reached out to hold Bao'er's mother's chin, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Oops! It's a little bit beautiful, but it's a little older, dress up a little, presumably those peddlers and pawns, there are still people who are willing to spend this money, five taels of silver, follow me to Yichun Courtyard, and you don't have to worry about starvation. ”

Bao'er's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, hooked a strand of flowing sea hair behind her ear with her little finger, and forced a smile to say: "Mom, poor and poor slave family, give more, so that my family Bao'er can find a way out!" ”

The old bustard raised his hand and said, "Stop, I think you are pitiful for five taels of silver, why don't you just let me help your family's treasure marry a daughter-in-law?" At your age, I don't know if anyone is sleeping when I buy it, and I'm taking the risk of losing money, don't you know? Buy a little girl who is tender and tender, at most ten taels, like you, sometimes a few baked cakes can be exchanged for one, if you want to, you will draw a charge, if you don't want to, then forget it, I don't know how many people are willing here! ”

At this time, Bao'er hurriedly stepped forward and crashed into the bustard's body, almost knocking the bustard to the ground.

"Oops"

The old bustard screamed, rubbed the arm that was hit, and said, "You kid is in a hurry to reincarnate!" Don't have long eyes? ”

Bao'er nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Bao'er's mother was a little embarrassed when she saw Bao'er, so she resigned: "Baby, why are you here?" ”

Bao'er grabbed the hand of this cheap mother, sighed and said, "Mother, why don't you come to this kind of place and don't say a word to me?" As long as I'm here, I will never watch my mother practice herself like this! ”

The old bustard looked Bao'er up and down, and said, "Yo, the little brother looks good, so be it!" I'll give you eight taels of silver, you follow me to Yichun Lou as a turtle slave, and your mother will have a place to eat in the future! ”

When Bao'er heard this, she stretched out her hand to stop her mother who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, bring the money, and we'll go with you!" ”

When the old bustard heard this, he happily reached out to touch the money bag in his arms, but it was okay not to touch it, but when he touched it, his face instantly lengthened, and his hands rummaged back and forth on his body.

The corners of Bao'er's mouth curled slightly: "You don't have no money and deliberately entertain us?" ”

After searching for a long time, the old bustard muttered, "Impossible! It was still there just now, why did it disappear all of a sudden! ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Bao'er and said, "That's it!" Let's sign the deed of sale first, you go back with me, and I'll give you two silver taels when you return to Yichun Building."

Before she finished speaking, Bao'er took over the bustard's words and said: "The master is a dignified man, he will never sell himself in exchange for food and clothing, and he will come to entertain the master if he has no money, I advise you to get out, otherwise the master will be unkind to you!" ”

"You"

The old bustard raised his hand and pointed at Bao'er, you have been for a long time, and you left without looking back.

A few turtle slaves who followed behind him stepped forward, bowed their heads and said to the old bustard: "The money was still there when I bought someone just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, it must have been stolen by that stinky boy, why don't you find that kid theory?" ”

The old bustard stood up and said to the turtle slave who spoke: "First, you can take the money bag away from me, and I haven't noticed it yet, I am by no means an idle person, second, that kid's hands are delicate, and he is by no means a coolie hand, but the tiger's mouth is calloused, and when he speaks, he is neither humble nor arrogant, he must be a master, more is better than less, a little money, it is not worth offending a master." ”

But Bao'er looked at this cheap mother, sighed and said, "Mother, why are you so troubled!" It's really not good, let's sell my jade pendant, and we can support it for a while."

When Bao'er's mother heard Bao'er's words, she hurriedly said: "That jade pendant is your property, if you sell it, what will you take to marry your daughter-in-law?" By the way, I don't know what happened to your Uncle Yang's family? ”

When Bao'er heard this, she asked with some confusion: "Who is Uncle Yang?" Why do you want that jade pendant to marry a daughter-in-law! ”
