After all, Wu Nuandong is not a native of the ancients, in her cognition, the prefect is an official position, but the victims of the disaster are different, the prefect and the divine doctor are unattainable figures in their hearts, so even if there are people who are unwilling to sell themselves, they dare not say much when they see the prefect coming.

Wu Tiande saw some clues, he quietly communicated with the prefect for a few words, the prefect raised his eyebrows and swept around the victims, and sure enough, he saw a few people who bowed their heads as if they were doing something wrong.

"In this way, the official is busy with official business, so leave first, Brother Wu, you take them to the government to report after you have chosen." Gu Yan is not an ignorant person, and he himself came to this trip in person because of his relationship with the martial arts, and when he saw that things were almost done, he found an excuse to leave.

When the figures of him and his master disappeared, the victims breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Nuandong only realized that something was wrong at this time, and Wu Xingzhou whispered: "We people are afraid of being officials." ”

"Brother Xingzhou, aren't you afraid?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, our family has also been a big official before, so what's there to be afraid of!" Wu Xingzhou raised his head with his chest straight, completely forgetting that he had cried when he was chased by officers and soldiers in Baiwang Mountain.

Wu Nuandong covered his mouth and snickered, and he didn't poke his face.

"If you don't want to sign a deed of sale, you can leave, we are also ordinary people, don't force it!" Wu Tiande said a word, and lowered several people to each other, it seemed that they were hesitating.

"Gu Zhifu is a kind and good official, and you have heard of the martial arts family's character, so you don't have to think too complicated. If you think about it, the one who signs the death deed stands on the left, and the one who doesn't want to stand on the right! ”

Three men in their forties, three women with babies of about ten years old, and an elderly man with a hunched body stood on the right.

These three men and three women have no relatives on the road, and after passing through Hezhou to tide over the difficulties together, they are ready to make do with each other, and when they earn money to send their babies to school, they can't sell themselves as slaves.

The old man was alone, Wu Nuandong asked puzzledly, "Grandpa, why are you unwilling to sell yourself?" Is there a relative near Hezhou who can take refuge? ”

The old man shook his head, his cloudy eyes were gloomy, "I don't know how to farm, I don't know how to serve people, I can only plant trees!" The old man and the young lady didn't say that they wanted someone who could plant trees, and I couldn't let your family spend money to buy me as a useless person. ”

Wu Nuandong is a little distressed and a little sad, grandpa and grandma are such old people, in order not to cause trouble to others, they never take the bus when they go out in the morning and evening rush hours, for fear of occupying the position in the car, if it is too crowded, some young people are late for work, and as a result, every time they walk to the vegetable market, there are no fresh vegetables or no ingredients they want.

"Who said I don't want someone who knows how to plant trees!" Wu Nuandong smiled, hiding his worries and worries about the two old men, his voice was soft and full of innocence, "Grandpa, my family wants to plant fruit trees, aren't fruit trees also trees?" ”

The old man's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, fruit trees will also be planted!" Then he asked uncertainly: "Then I am still useful?" ”

"Useful and useful, old and strong, you don't know that there is an old family if there is a treasure, your experience is the greatest use!" Wu Nuandong smiled, her little face was pink and attractive, which made Wu Tiande rub the top of her hair lovingly.

"That's it, when the orchard is up, Nuan Nuan can make fruit wine!" Wu Xingzhou also patted Wu Nuandong's little head, very proud, "Nuan Nuan wine is very delicious, fourth uncle, in the future, you, uncle, grandpa and father will have a mouthful!" ”

Wu Tiande laughed, there are pros and cons to this catastrophe, the relationship between several children is more solid, and the relationship is not worse than that of brothers.

"If you are willing to sell yourself, report what you did before!" Wu Xingzhou had an idea and said, "Or what will you do!" ”

In addition to a family of thirteen medicine farmers, old people who planted fruit trees, and granddaughters of gardeners, there were more than 50 people who were all from farming, three of whom had guarded ponds, two had raised ducks and geese, two had been fruit farmers, and one had tended to livestock. More than a dozen babies ranging from six to twelve years old, some have run through restaurants and restaurants, some have worked as handymen in pharmacies, and some have raised chickens and ducks. As for the five who were held, ignore them.

At this time, a woman in the crowd raised her hand tremblingly, "Young Master...... I...... I can make wine! Pulling up the eleven or twelve-year-old girl next to him, he said eagerly: "My baby can also make wine!" It's just that...... It's just that it won't farm. My family runs a tavern, although it is passed on to men but not to women, but I have secretly learned the technique of brewing, and my baby and I ...... It won't be useless. ”

She is not familiar with Wu Nuandong, but she did not say no, even if this woman's winemaking skills are average, with the medicinal materials in the Jade Mansion enough for her family to drink, she usually has nothing to do to help in the kitchen, and she is the same as being a female celebrity.

"You, you and you, sorry, we can't have it!" Wu Nuandong waved his hand and pointed out three middle-aged men and women, "Brother Xingzhou, do you have one you can't choose?" ”

Wu Xingzhou glanced at it twice and pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman nesting behind, "She can't do it either!" ”

"Why can't a few of them?" Ignoring the gossip shouts of these people, Wu Tiande asked the two children to himself.

"These three people are more sturdy than the other victims, their faces are ruddy, but their eyes are wandering, you see, the people next to them have a slight distance from them, either they are not popular, or they are afraid and guarded." Wu Nuandong said that the head was the way, and the eyes of the victims standing in a row suddenly lit up at the same time, and they almost praised it directly.

Wu Xingzhou was even more polite, "That eldest sister always picks the fourth uncle directly, and the people who watch it have goosebumps, and they don't look at the two of us from the beginning to the end, I don't want the fourth uncle to find an unreliable stepmother to abuse Nuan Nuan!"

The woman's face turned red and she shouted, "What are you talking nonsense about, why are you not allowed to let people see it?" ”

Several people who were excluded by Wu Nuandong also shouted, "Little girl, we were originally fat, and now we are hungry and thin!" ”

"You have calluses on your hands, how can a person who has never worked be embarrassed to say that he can farm!" Wu Nuandong smiled shamefully, it is not that there are no little rich families in trouble, but this is not a reason to lie, besides, they are not easy to get along with at first glance.

Sure enough, the old man of the medicine farmer's family spoke, "A few of them usually robbed the rice soup of those helpless boys and girls, and many women with babies were robbed by them. "There are times when the soldiers defending the city fail to take care of it, and these few people will seize the rations of others when they see an opportunity, and the other victims will help the well-meaning inhabitants of the city to work in exchange for some food, and when the time comes, they will shrink back and wait until the dry food is distributed, and then they will come out.

"My family buys honest people who work, we can't afford to hire a few of you!" Wu Nuandong said with a smile, the sneer that didn't smile was far from the appearance of the cute golden boy with an amiable smile before, which made several people surprised for a while and forgot to refute.

"Let's go, find Uncle Gu to get the deed."

At this time, the fourth son rushed over, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" Mr. Wu, let me help you take the selected candidates back to the mansion! "This is because Gu Yan was afraid that someone would make trouble, so he specially sent the little fourth son to help.

"Trouble the little fourth brother!" Wu Xingzhou hugged his fists and signaled, and the little fourth son hurriedly returned a salute, and laughed twice, "It's okay, let's go!" ”

Seeing that the official messenger was coming, the people who were shouting didn't dare to talk nonsense, and they all muttered unwillingly and stopped.

They just want to sell their bodies for money, they don't really want to sell themselves and lose their freedom, even if they really sell themselves, with their personalities, they can live smoothly when they go to the master's house to steal and play tricks, who knows that the Wu family can't rub sand in their eyes.
