Chapter 48: Hu's Farm (1)
Early the next morning, a four-wheeled carriage came to the door of Wu Ling's house. It was sent from Madame Hu's farm.
The servant who came by car was very polite, and he served the invitation of the Hu couple.
Wu Ling deliberately dressed up today and wore a somewhat faded tunic, although it was old, it was very clean and decent.
Wu Wei wore a floral knee-length dress and her hair was retouched.
Hua Zixuan and Gasol saw Wu Wei dressed up, and at the same time said "wow".
Wu Wei looked at herself and wondered: "Listening to the voices of the two of you, there is a little bad intention, is it that I don't look good?"
The two men shook their heads at the same time, "It's good-looking, it's so good-looking." ”
Wu Wei blushed a little when she was seen, and took the lead in getting into the carriage.
Gasol patted Hua Zixuan, "What did you mean by 'wow' just now, you wouldn't be in love with Wei'er, right?"
Hua Zixuan nodded, and shook his head again, "Ah no, how could I fall in love with her, don't worry, I won't rob you." ”
Gasol: "That's good, Vile is a treasure to discover. ”
After Wu Wei got into the car, she stretched out her beautiful head and asked Wu Ling, "What's the matter with the two bags of fertilizer in the car?"
It just so happened that Li Wei came over from the yard next door and said with a smile: "Brother is going to bring two bags of sample fertilizer and try it out for the farmer." ”
Wu Ling patted Li Wei on the shoulder, "Let's go, go and sell your products to your future customers." ”
Li Wei followed Wu Ling into the carriage.
Hua Zixuan and Gasol followed behind, and they didn't have to dress up deliberately, because slaves only had slave clothes to wear, which was the rule of Hellas City.
When the two boarded the carriage, Gasol looked at the carriage and wondered: "Zixuan, let's go up again, I don't know if this horse can still move?"
Hua Zixuan pushed Gasol into the car, "Don't think you weigh much, this is on Mars, and the weight of anything has to be discounted." ”
Wu Ling, who was already in the car, blocked them under the car, "Alas, you two, what are you doing?"
Hua Zixuan and Gasol wondered, "Let's get in the car, get in the car and go with you to Mrs. Hu's farm, what's wrong?"
"Oh!" Wu Ling looked abrupt, "I forgot to tell you two that today's training can't be stopped." He pointed to the two piles of salt bricks tied together with ropes, "You two carry them and run." ”
Hua Zixuan was surprised: "Dad, isn't it, I'm going to see my sister today, you don't need to make me so embarrassed, right?"
Wu Ling said with certainty: "There is no need to discuss. ”
Hua Zixuan and Gasol breathed a sigh of frustration, and the two of them carried the salt bricks on their backs, which were a combination of eight salt bricks tied together.
Wu Wei stuck out her tongue at Hua Zixuan and the others in the carriage, looking gloating.
Hua Zixuan snorted disdainfully at Wu Wei, "Huh...... Don't say that you can be raised by your stepfather at this time, you know that your father is good to you!"
When there were still two kilometers away from the farm, Wu Ling stopped the carriage, looked at Hua Zixuan and Gasol, who were tired and crawling on all fours, behind the car, and said:
"Don't say I won't save face for you, put the salt bricks here, and when you come back, you have to carry them back. ”
The two of them lay on the ground in prostration, "Bring the crystal." ”
Wu Ling took out the black cloth pocket, the two regained their strength, and then got into the carriage.
After getting into the car, Hua Zixuan saw Wu Wei's big smart eyes looking at him, and his heart throbbed inexplicably.
He reached out and stroked Wu Wei's short hair, like stroking a pet dog.
Wu Wei resisted, "Messed up my hairstyle!"
Gasol patted Hua Zixuan in the back, "You can't move your hands and feet!"
Hua Zixuan's face was innocent, and he turned his head to Gasol and said, "It's just a touch of family affection!"
Gasol glanced at Hua Zixuan: "Who knows what you have in mind?"
When we arrived at the farm, it had been carefully arranged, the entrance to the farm was full of flowers, the ground and the houses were cleaned neatly, and everyone from the master to the slave was dressed very cleanly and decently.
The Hu couple led a group of servants to greet them warmly.
Wu Ling greeted the Hu couple, who were fans of Wu Ling when they were young.
Hua Zixuan searched for Hua Zihui in the crowd, and finally found her at the end of the crowd.
I saw Hua Zihui lowering her head, as if she had done something wrong, and didn't dare to look up at Hua Zixuan.
Today the sun is shining, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the outdoors in this season is suitable for hot and cold.
In the open space of the farm, there is a large rectangular table with a variety of fruits, snacks and drinks.
The Hu couple invited Wu Ling and them to take a seat.
Wu Wei, Gasol, and Li Wei followed Wu Ling to the long table, and Hua Zixuan walked straight to Hua Zihui.
Hua Zihui still kept her head down.
Hua Zixuan came to her, "What are you doing, what did you do to dare not see me?"
Hua Zihui still lowered her head and said timidly, "No." ”
"Then you raise your head and I'll take a look!" Hua Zixuan reached out to lift Hua Zihui's chin, "Otherwise, you're doing something bad." ”
Hua Zixuan forcibly lifted Hua Zihui's pretty head, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see that the corners of Hua Zihui's eyes and mouth had different degrees of bruises.
Hua Zixuan's anger value exploded instantly, and Hua Zihui was shocked by him.
Hua Zixuan turned his head and glared at the Hu couple at the long table in the distance, gritted his teeth word by word and said, "They beat you?"
Hua Zihui has been a slave for these days, and finally knows the warmth and coldness of the world, and the whole person has matured a lot. She naturally knew the consequences of her brother's anger.
Hua Zixuan walked towards the long table, Hua Zihui hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother, don't be impulsive, they beat me because I was wrong." ”
"Then why did they beat you?"
It turned out that the Hu couple had three children, the eldest was a daughter who was married, the second was a son who was 13 years old this year, and the youngest was a 10-year-old daughter.
Mrs. Hu bought Hua Zihui back to be a tutor for her son and youngest daughter.
Hua Zihui is a naughty child, in addition to teaching her two children homework, playing with them is also her strength. The two children also enjoy playing with her.
Hua Zihui has a restless factor in her personality, she often takes her two children out of the farm to play, but the Hu couple has a rule that children cannot go out of the farm.
Just in the last few days, Hua Zihui took her two children to play outside the farm, but the younger son accidentally fell into a crater and injured his foot.
In order to show her sincerity to her master, the farm's 'housekeeper's mother-in-law' took a group of evil servants to lynch Hua Zihui.
When the housekeeper's mother-in-law handed over the injured youngest son and Hua Zihui after being punished to the Hu couple, the Hu couple first felt sorry for their son, and then saw Hua Zihui, who was beaten and bruised all over her body, and couldn't help but panic.
Wu Ling has explained to Mrs. Hu several times that she wants to take care of Hua Zihui, she is now beaten like this, and Wu Ling is coming to the farm recently, Mrs. Hu really doesn't know how to explain to Wu Ling.
The Hu couple had no choice but to order someone to beat the housekeeper's mother-in-law and appease Hua Zihui with kind words.
Hua Zihui is not an unreasonable person. First of all, she did something wrong, because she didn't listen to her master's warning, she took her two children to play outside the farm, so that her younger son was injured, and besides, the mastermind who beat her had been punished, so the sullenness in her heart disappeared by half.
Therefore, when Hua Zixuan wanted to find the Hu couple to reason, Hua Zihui would not let him go.
Hua Zixuan listened to his sister's narration and didn't think that the Hu couple was wrong.
He stroked his sister's face, and saw that in addition to the bruises on her face, there were also large bruises under her white neck, and he couldn't help but feel sour and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"Sort of. Hua Zihui's clear eyes stared at Hua Zixuan, "Brother, have you saved enough money to ransom me?"
"Uh......" Hua Zixuan was embarrassed, "I have the money, but I can't redeem you yet, because I'm very dangerous there, if you follow me, it's not just a matter of being beaten, you may not even be able to save your life." ”
"Ah......" Hua Zihui's somewhat immature face showed a hint of despair, "How long will we have to wait?"
"En......" Hua Zixuan pondered, "Wait until this season is over, wait for me to get the King's Cup." ”
After Hua Zixuan finished speaking, he pulled Hua Zihui towards the long table, "Follow me!"
They held hands and walked towards the long table.
On the other side of the long table, Mr. Hu was looking at the bottle of Bacardi rum that Wu Ling gave him.
Rum worth 32 gold coins, this is only the purchase price, if it is the sale price, it must be at least 10 gold coins more expensive.
Mr. Hu, a thin man with a very good look, gave the rum to the servant and ordered him to keep it. Said to Wu Ling:
"Mr. Wu, this bottle of rum will not be opened for you today, I have to keep it and keep it as a testimony of our friendship. ”
Wu Ling: "The thing is yours, you can do whatever you want." ”
Gasol muttered, "I wish I could have tasted it." ”
Hua Zixuan took Hua Zihui's hand and came over, "Mr. Hu!"
Mr. Hu, who was sitting at the top, turned his head and looked at Hua Zixuan's brothers and sisters, as if he knew what was going on, he knew that Hua Zihui had a war servant brother, which was one of the reasons why he didn't dare to embarrass Hua Zihui.
Wu Ling hurriedly said to Mr. Hu: "Let me introduce you, this is my war servant, Hua Zixuan." ”
"Hehe......" Mr. Hu said with a smile, "It's the war servant who dares to beat the audience, haha......"
Mr. Hu reads the newspaper every day, so he naturally knows about the gladiatorial arena, and he is also an old boxing fan.
Wu Ling: "Makes you laugh." ”
Mr. Hu: "The audience watching your games is always worth the money, because your games are different from other companies, your games have returns, and you can interact with the audience passionately, haha...... Just kidding. ”
"Uh, hehe!" Wu Ling smiled awkwardly.
Mr. Hu said earnestly: "It's best not to be an enemy of the audience, after all, that's your food and clothing." ”
"Yes. Wu Ling nodded. He asked Hua Zixuan again, "Do you have something to do with Mr. Hu?"
Hua Zixuan said to Mr. Hu: "Mr. Hu, your people beat my sister like this, what do you explain?"
Wu Ling also noticed Hua Zihui's injury, and he looked at Mrs. Hu with questioning eyes, "What's going on?"
Mrs. Hu was very embarrassed, said a lot of good things, and called the housekeeper out again.
The housekeeper's wife is a chubby black woman, look at the injuries on her body, they are worse than Hua Zihui, Hua Zixuan and the others naturally have nothing to say, and besides, it is her sister who is wrong first.
