Chapter 51: Strange Requests
"What are you doing with your child?" Mrs. Li couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Mrs. Li, whether you can save them or not, these children are very important." Qi Miao pointed to the three unconscious people, including the young man.
"Well, I remember that there is a village not far from here, and there should be children there, so I will order someone to find it." Mrs. Li nodded solemnly.
Although she doesn't know what the point of Qi Miao looking for a child is, she believes in Qi Miao.
I believe that Qi Miao will not mess around, and it is impossible to say irrelevant things at this critical juncture.
Mrs. Li immediately gathered her men and told them the general location of the village.
Shen also called a few people to help.
"Please hurry up, please." Qi Miao told the family.
"Please rest assured, Miss Five." The family members nodded their heads.
"Oh, yes, please find some more pots and bowls on the Zhuangzi." Qi Miao remembered this again and forgot to command.
"By the way, may I ask Miss Five, are we looking for a boy or a girl?" The family members suddenly remembered this question.
Qi Miao replied, "Boy." ”
The family members nodded, and with doubts in their hearts, hurried to the village that Mrs. Li had mentioned.
The middle-aged man among the injured had been secretly watching Qi Miao.
Observing her words and deeds is also judging what her purpose is in finding children.
It's a pity that after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't understand the significance of her move.
While waiting for the return of the family members, under Qi Miao's command, the others moved the wounded to the side of the official road, and also moved the damaged carriage away from the official road.
Official roads have been restored.
Except for Qi Miao and the others, the others left this place one after another and rushed to Lingshan Temple.
Anyway, there is no relationship with the injured person. I don't want to delay my trip because of them.
I don't care about their lives or deaths.
Qi Miao went to look at the boy again, but he was still unconscious.
But fortunately, the pulse is weak. But it gradually stabilized and there was no attenuation. It could be that pill worked.
Qin Si walked up to Qi Miao and winked at her gently, as if she had something to say.
The corners of Qi Miao's lips moved slightly, and she got up and walked to the side with her.
"What did you find?" Qi Miao asked in a low voice.
There are a lot of people here, and some things are hard to say, Qin Si just quietly stuffed a small jade plate into her palm, "I found it at the scene of the car accident." ”
Qi Miao lowered her eyes to look at the jade plaque in the middle of her palm.
The feeling of heartache from before came back again, and she seemed to be very familiar with the jade plate.
Not only familiar, but also kind.
The jade plaque is emerald green. The color is warm, and the hollow carving is a goshawk soaring with its wings.
There should be a Qing character on the reverse side of the eagle's wing.
Such a thought suddenly popped into Qi Miao's mind.
Startled by the idea, she hurriedly flipped the jade plaque over.
Looking at the powerful word 'Qing', she was instantly stunned.
Why did she know that there was this word on the back of the jade plate? Why do you feel that the jade plate is intimate and familiar?
And I thought the young man was familiar before, had she seen it anywhere?
Qi Miao searched all the corners of his memory, but still found nothing, and he didn't remember where he had seen the boy, nor did he remember who the owner of the jade plate was, and what his origin was.
What's going on?
Qi Miao closed her hand a little irritably. Scratched his head.
"What's wrong Miao'er, what's wrong with the jade plate?" Qin Si looked at her with a tangled and strange expression, and asked in a low voice.
"I can't tell, forget it. We'll talk about it when we have time. Qi Miao shook her head lightly, and easily stuffed the jade plate into her sleeve.
Think about it when you have time to see if there's anything wrong with it.
Because of Mrs. Lee's correct guidance. The family soon went and returned.
They brought eight boys, babies the size of seven or eight months. There are also children of five or six years old.
Every child has a parent who comes with it.
Look at their patched and shabby clothes, and their faces are full of haggard vicissitudes. I know that my family is poor and not rich.
A woman took the child in her hands, walked up to Shen and Mrs. Li, knelt down with a plop, and asked in a low voice, "Two noble ladies, do you want to buy the children of the people's women?" The women were willing to sell. ”
Shen and Mrs. Li didn't expect her to make such a move, and they were shocked.
Buying a child?
Qi Miao looked at the sky speechlessly.
She came up to the woman and said, "This aunt is thinking too much, we don't want to buy a child. ”
"If we don't buy children, what are we going to do with them?" Qi Miao's words not only did not make the woman happy, but made her very disappointed, and there was dissatisfaction in her tone.
The woman's expression made Shen and Mrs. Li frown.
How could this woman be so cruel to sell her son?
Qi Miao couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
But she also knows that the rural family is in a difficult situation, and in order to make a living, she has to sell her sons and daughters ruthlessly.
She shouted Li Fu and Shen farther away and whispered a few words to them.
"Ah, that's right." Shen and Mrs. Li looked surprised.
But they still nodded, and said to the villagers who came with their children, "Everyone misunderstood, we didn't want to buy children, and we asked everyone to bring children here in the hope of helping them." ”
"Help?" The villagers looked at each other and became a little nervous.
Shen smiled mildly and said, "You don't have to be nervous, it's not a difficult thing." ”
She looked at the family on the side.
He put a clean copper basin on the ground and said to the children, "Children, pee into this basin and see who pees more." ”
What the?
Race?
These rich people are really excessive, idle and bored to make fun of our children.
The villagers were angry, but they didn't dare to scold Qi Miao and his party.
Looking at what they were wearing, they knew that they were noble and couldn't be provoked.
The villagers took the children and turned to leave.
"Hey, you haven't peed yet, you can't go." The family members were in a hurry and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
A middle-aged man looked at the family members and said, "This uncle, please let us go, we still have a lot of farm work to do at home, and we really don't have time to play here." ”
Shen said in a loud voice, "The children who have completed the task will each be rewarded with three taels of silver. ”
What the?
Reward five taels of silver!
The villagers were overjoyed, and quickly turned around and asked, "Is there really a reward of three taels of silver?" ”
They can't earn three taels a year by working hard in the fields, and now as long as the child pees, they will have three taels of silver, and it would be a fool not to agree.
"It's not a lie." Shen nodded solemnly.
To convince the villagers, she asked the orb to bring silver.
Seeing the silver in front of them, the villagers dared to slack off anymore and let the children pee.
After the completion of the work, the villagers happily came to Baozhu to receive the silver.
The expressions on their faces are happier than marrying a daughter-in-law.
"I beg you, ladies and gentlemen, next time there is such a thing, the little ones will be on call." Before leaving, they said the same.
Shen and Mrs. Li couldn't laugh or cry.
Qi Miao asked the family to collect the children's urine and bring it to the injured.
"Trouble you to feed each of them a bowl of drink, and those who are unconscious feed more, be sure to drink it while it's hot, quickly." Qi Miao commanded again.
Feed them to drink urine?
It's not a joke, is it?
Everyone was dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
