Soon after, the slaves of the Ouyang family began to be sold.

I don't know if it's God's blessing, or Ouyang Man and Zijuan's luck, the two of them, Su Xiaolin and Mama Li actually let the family buy it.

Only later did she know that where was such good luck? It turned out that Mama Li gave a golden hairpin she hid to people, and they were sold to one place.

Mama Li is Aunt Jane's dowry grandmother, as soon as Ouyang Man saw Mama Li, she had a backbone in her heart, and she felt that the future was not so dark.

Ouyang Man secretly told Mama Li about Zijuan and her desire to find a father for the child in Zijuan's belly, and Mama Li also agreed to her suggestion, and she came forward to talk to Su Xiaolin.

Su Xiaolin was silent all the way, and Ouyang Man knew that he was silently missing his sister in his heart, and he was sad for his sister's fall in the flower season. She actually misses Su Nian very much in her heart, and misses this good sister who is willing to die for herself.

After all the relatives in the family were wiped out, the family members also showed their selfish and greedy faces that they couldn't see on weekdays. Ouyang Man felt even more that Su Nian's self-sacrifice was valuable and righteous.

After Mama Li told Su Xiaolin about Zijuan, Su Xiaolin agreed without thinking.

With Su Xiaolin's assurance, everyone has a little confidence along the way, and Zijuan is no longer sad.

But when they arrived at their destination, everyone learned that they were originally bought by the owner of a private coal mine in the south. This is the beginning of all their nightmares.

When they arrived, they had to carry coal in wicker baskets from the cave every day. Not only is it heavy, but it is also not enough to eat. Because Su Xiaolin was a man, he was even arranged to dig coal in the cave. After a few days, Zijuan and Ouyang Man couldn't bear it.

Ouyang Man and Zijuan have never done rough work, and they are both pampered. In the first few days, I was afraid of being beaten, so I desperately held on, but it took a long time. Zijuan was pregnant and Ouyang Man was only eight years old, and because they were slow to work, they were whipped by the foreman of the overseer, and announced on the spot that they were not allowed to eat for a day.

It doesn't matter if the two of them were beaten and bruised, but that night Zijuan saw blood under him, which scared everyone enough. This child must not be fine, or else all his work will be wasted.

Mama Li comforted everyone and said. She has a way to put everyone at ease. Sure enough, the next day. Zijuan and Ouyang Man, including Mama Li, were all arranged into the kitchen of the coal mine and were responsible for the miners' three meals a day.

Even Su Xiaolin also changed to a more leisurely job, like Ouyang Man and the others before, moving coal blocks from the hole.

Ouyang Man found out later. The overseer here is a color blank. However, he does not like small green fruits, but only large ripe peaches.

From the day they came on the first day, he had his eyes on Mama Li.

Mama Li once had a short marriage, and she never married again after her husband died of illness. She was in her early thirties at the time, and because she had been pampered and well-maintained for many years, she seemed much younger. That's why the overseer took a fancy to her.

The job changes of all of them were changed only because Mama Li agreed to be the supervisor.

This realization makes everyone feel extremely humiliated. all said that they would rather die of exhaustion than let Mama Li be humiliated.

Mama Li sternly stopped everyone's impulse and said. What we are doing is to live, to get out of here one day.

She told everyone to endure and one day they would come out on top. She said that she should be glad that this overseer only likes mature women, if the fifth lady and Zijuan are too dangerous.

In fact, the reason why Zijuan was not touched by the overseer was because Mama Li smeared Zijuan with black ash every day, and the dirty ones made the overseers always retreat.

In the face of reality, everyone came to their senses, and they had to endure the humiliation in their hearts and continue to live.

This coal mine is deep in the mountains, and it takes more than a month to walk out of it. It is impossible for a few of them to escape, and even if they do, the deed of sale is still in the hands of this overseer, and they are still fugitive slaves, and they cannot survive outside.

In this way, they persevered until Zijuan gave birth to a child, and to everyone's delight, Zijuan's child was a boy. This means that the Ouyang family has no end in sight, and there is a continuation of the bloodline.

In order to celebrate the new bloodline of the Ouyang family, Mama Li deliberately took the name "Su Sheng".

After five years of such a life, later, Zijuan and Su Xiaolin became a real husband and wife, and Zijuan gave birth to another boy.

If life can go on like this, it's fine, and everyone doesn't have any more pursuits, as long as they can live.

But while the overseer maintained a relationship with Mama Li, he fell in love with Zijuan again, and despite Zijuan's resistance, he forced her to Jian.

happened to Su Xiaolin coming back from work, so he forcibly insulted Zijuan in front of him.

Su Xiaolin picked up a wooden stick and wanted to fight, but Mama Li stopped him deadly. Su Xiaolin looked at the two young children next to him, and couldn't help crying anymore.

Ouyang Man hugged the two children tightly in his arms, and cried silently. When the two children saw that the adults were crying, they also cried so much that the mountains shook the ground.

That night, Zijuan hanged herself, unable to face the gaze of her husband and children, and easily ended her life.

The once strong Zijuan is gone, in fact, they have endured the ridicule and hostile eyes of the workers in the mine for the past few years, and no one has interacted with them. Just because the workers thought that they were in the same league as the overseers, they couldn't afford to provoke the overseers, but they turned their grievances on them.

The death of Zijuan alleviated this hostility to a certain extent, and the miners were willing to associate with them.

However, as Ouyang Man slowly grew up, the overseer's eyes fell on Ouyang Man again.

Mama Li and Su Xiaolin both sensed the crisis, so they discussed it together for a long time before deciding to let Mama Li find out everyone's deed of sale, kill the overseer and the guards guarding the mine, and everyone escaped.

It's just that their strength is too thin, Su Xiaolin contacted a few miners, discussed with them, and reached a unanimous agreement.

Inevitably, a riot occurred.

In that riot, the miners not only killed all the mine guards, killed the overseers, but also burned all the deeds of sale. Fortunately for the miners, the deed of sale should have been in the hands of the mine owner. However, the mine owner was also afraid that the coal mine would expose himself and lose his life, so he let the overseer keep it in his own hands.

Because this was a private mine, the slaves who bought and sold did not go to the yamen for archiving at that time. In this way, the miners became free and fled in all directions to the mountains

However, one of the guards had faked his death, and when the miners had fled, they went back and reported to the mine owner. When the mine owner arrived with a large number of guards, the miners were almost gone, leaving only Ouyang Man and his old and weak women and children behind.

In order to cover Ouyang Man and Su Sheng, Mama Li, Su Xiaolin and Su Cun, who were later Zijuan's sons, were all caught by the mine owner, and Ouyang Man didn't know what the ending would be in the end.

Ouyang Man only knew that he had escaped desperately with Su Sheng, but he only had Su Nian's silver hairpin on him, and he had nothing, so he could only beg to live.

That year, Ouyang Man was fourteen years old and Su Sheng was five years old. (To be continued.) )
