Chapter 86: Gratitude and Righteousness

Li Mu came to the courtyard and saw that Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao were looking around the big man, as if they had seen something novel, so he hurriedly came to him and said, "Mother, this is the slave I bought in the West Market today, and he will be our family's guard in the future." ”

"Slaves?" The Sun family has lived in the border city for a long time, and she is no stranger to the word slave, but she didn't expect that the Li family would be able to raise slaves one day. He looked at the big man again and said, "This kid is strong, it's good, and he spent a lot of money, right?" ”

"It's just two dollars, it's not much." Li Mu said, seeing that Bai Qiaoqiao and Sun were carrying a lot of things in their hands, they glanced at the big man, and the big man shook his hand and reached out to take it. Li Mu said again: "Big man, this is my mother, this is my mother, do you recognize it?" ”

"Hmm!" The big man answered the urn for a moment, and then he was speechless, since he bought him back in the West Market, he hadn't said a word, Li Mu was very curious if this guy couldn't speak, but don't be a dumb person, you have to ask later.

When they entered the house and saw the little girl, Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao were stunned, Bai Qiaoqiao was not much, Sun's eyes showed a look of vigilance, and when he looked at Li Mu again, his expression had cooled down.

"You kneel for me!"

Li Mu was stunned: "Mother, why is this, where did your son make you unhappy?" ”

"Get on your knees!"

Li Mu had no choice but to kneel, but he was still puzzled. Bai Qiaoqiao saw Li Mu kneeling, so he had to kneel along, but was helped up by Sun's arm. Sun glanced at the little girl standing next to him timidly, then looked at Li Mu, and said, "This girl was also bought back by you?" ”

"Well, didn't my son tell you about his father-in-law's gift of the mansion in the morning, and the son pondered that it was also a marquis's mansion, and there must be a few subordinates, so he bought two slaves. The big man can be a guard, he can be a groom, this girl can serve Qiaoqiao, and he can also help with cooking......"

Sun stared at Li Mu and said, "Is that all?" Wouldn't it be better to serve people, cook, and find a woman to do it? You're looking for such a little girl...... Looks pretty smart, what do you mean? Son, don't be a marquis, move crooked thoughts, I can tell you, I only recognize Qiaoqiao's daughter-in-law, and if your mother lives for one day, you will be honest with me, unless you don't recognize me as a mother! ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Mother, you really misunderstood me. So, I hid out, and you asked her alone, how did I buy her, and let her say for herself, this is all right? ”

Sun glanced at the little girl and said, "It's okay, you go and wait outside the door." ”

"Huh!" Li Mu lowered his eyebrows and answered pleasantly, got up and pulled the big man to the courtyard to squat. When he got up, he secretly gave the little girl a look and asked her to say that if she didn't understand, the backyard would catch fire.

Coming to the courtyard stone table and sitting down, Li Mu was worried, and it was okay to be idle, he glanced at the big man standing next to him, and said, "Big man, what is your name, where is your hometown, and what other relatives do you have?" ”

When the big man heard this, Mu Ran's face had a hint of Qi, and he said: "My name is Ni Keqinli, my home is in Bohai Yao, and all my relatives are dead, so I am the only one left." ”

It turned out that he could speak, Li Mu thought about it, and asked again: "How did your family die, and how did you get caught as slaves?" ”

The big man hesitated for a moment and said, "My family was killed by my uncle, I escaped, I fainted from hunger, and the shopkeeper Hu saved me." ”

"Your uncle killed your whole family......" Li Mu had a little headache, how could this story be more bizarre than the other? But he preferred to believe the big man than the little girl in the house, and he couldn't tell why, and his intuition told him that the big man wasn't lying.

"Do you want revenge?"

The big man stared in vain and said, "Can I go?" After speaking, he lowered his head again and said, "He is already the leader, and I can't take revenge alone." ”

"There must always be a goal in life, since you have a blood feud, then you must work harder to live. Well, let's make a pact, if you can save me or my family's life for once, I'll give you back your freedom. Until then, you can work in my house and don't cause trouble, okay? ”

"Thank you, master!" The big man knelt down, Li Mu helped him up, clapped his hands with him, and said, "The gentleman's covenant, high-five is an oath." I don't like the title of master very much, you will call me boss in the future, remember? ”

"Remember, Boss!"

"Well, that's good." A boss, called Li Mu's heart to bloom, as early as Dingxiang, he planned to find a few younger brothers in Chang'an to follow him to show his majesty, isn't there one?

Before the conversation was finished in the house, Li Mu was also curious, and asked casually, "Big man, how old are you?" ”

"Fourteen."

Li Mu was dumbfounded, thinking that he had misheard, and confirmed: "More than a dozen? ”

"Back to the boss, I'm fourteen years old this year."

“……”

Fourteen...... Fourteen! Li Mu looked at the height of the big man who was more than eight feet, and suddenly didn't know what to say, held it for a long time, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Yes, it's too good......"

The impact was too great, and Li Mu was a little incoherent. At this time, Sun's voice came from the house, telling him to enter. Li Mu returned to the hall and saw that the three women were all red-eyed, as if they had just cried, and said in confusion: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun sighed and said, "I thought, my mother's life is bitter enough, not long after you were born, your father is gone, your mother pulled you to grow up, and you know how much hardship you have suffered." But I didn't expect that this child and her mother suffered more than our mother, which was really not easy. Poor her mother died of illness at a young age, and the child was willing to sell herself into slavery in order to bury her mother...... It's so pitiful, how can there be such a pitiful person in this world. Son, my mother misunderstood you, you did the right thing, this child's life is too hard, it's a good thing to buy our family, you have to take good care of it in the future. ”

Selling, selling and burying his mother? Li Mu looked at the little girl blankly, and the little girl was still crying, as if it was really like that. Li Muqiang endured it and didn't expose her, and secretly said in his heart, if he bought such a drama spirit back, he didn't know if it would be a disaster in the future.

Sun took the little girl's hand and said, "Child, you will live in our house in the future, wait for a year or two, find a lover, and let my son buy you a dowry and marry in style." By the way, how old are you? What's the name? ”

The little girl sobbed: "Back to the old lady, I am fourteen years old this year, and I will be fifteen in a few days." I don't have a name, my mother used to call me a girl. ”

It was an obvious lie, but Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao were stunned and didn't notice it. Sun said distressedly: "What a poor child, he doesn't even have a name." Since you have arrived at my Li family, let my son give you a name, son, you can name this girl. ”

The little girl bowed to Li Muyingying and said timidly: "Please also ask the master to give her a name." ”

Li Mu glanced at the little girl deeply, and said: "The most important thing in being a man is to know kindness and righteousness, today I have a fate, I bought the two of you, and I can be regarded as saving your lives." I hope you can remember this kindness in your hearts, and don't expect you to repay anything, but I hope you can be benevolent and righteous, and don't harm my Li family in the future, and don't make trouble for the Li family. Since my mother asked me to give me a name, then take Li as my surname, and Zhi'en and Righteousness as my name, you will be called Li Zhien in the future, and the big man will be called Li Chongyi. ”

The little girl immediately bowed: "Li Zhien thanks the master for the name." ”

The big man also bowed and said, "Li Chongyi thanks the master for the name." ”
