Chapter 80: People Eat People (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
When I woke up again in the sweaty heat, I heard the sound of cooing and the words of the boatmen outside.
Where?
It's almost past Zhenjiang.
"Young master, you are awake, and the slave maid is waiting for you to dress."
The voice in the cabin made Shi Yiwen follow the voice, it was her, it was Chen Huan, that face was not as ruddy as when I first met, but it was miserable and pitiful. A look of pain flashed in his bloodshot eyes. Despite this, she still has a more gorgeous face than Kou Yun,
Seeing that her face was full of haggardness and her eyes were swollen like peaches, Shi Yiwen knew that she was probably still adapting to it.
"I don't need anyone to serve here, you can go down first."
"The slave knows she's useless."
Although she was suppressing her emotions, Shi Yiwen could feel her body trembling slightly, and there was a kind of fear in her voice.
"In the future, the slave and maid will study hard and serve the young master well."
Hearing this, Shi Yiwen sighed in her heart, a few days ago she was the daughter of a good family, but now she has become a slave, and the person who sold her is none other than her family. Looking at the girl in front of her, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, in the future a girl like her should be pampered in front of her parents, but here, she was sold into slavery by her family, thinking of Chen Yi's face when she sold her, there was a sigh in her heart,
"Huan'er, you don't have to be afraid, I'm used to dressing myself, and I usually don't need to be served, so you go down first."
Looking at her back, Shi Yiwen sighed in his heart.
Can a young girl withstand such an experience?
"Is Childe awake?"
Wu Cai's voice came from outside the warehouse.
"Is it Wu Cai? Come on in! ”
When entering the cabin, Wu Cai glanced at Chen Huan and smiled when he saw that her eyes were red.
"Girl Huan."
"Mr. Wu, the slave is going out."
When the hatch was closed, Shi Yiwen immediately complained to Wu Cai.
"Maoda, what is this?"
Childe's question surprised Wu Cai, and he listened to him continue.
"You say you, what is not good, I made it for me, let me buy Xiaohuan, you look at people's discomfort, I don't know and think I'm robbing people's girls?"
Childe's complaint made Wu Cai stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Childe, you think it's difficult for a strong man to be below, but in fact, I want to save her!"
"Save her?"
Shi Yiwen looked at Wu Cai puzzled.
"Childe, Miss Huan is also a hard-working person, her parents died early, and she was raised in her uncle's house, what kind of person does Childe think of her uncle?"
"Naturally, he is a man who forgets his righteousness!"
Thinking of Chen Yi's high-sounding appearance of selling women for glory, Shi Yiwen's heart was disgusted.
"It's not just forgetting righteousness for profit, it's basically been planned for a long time, Childe, you think, but how can a good family send their children to learn music? But Chen Yi sent Miss Huan to learn music when she was a child, which can be described as ill-intentioned, and in general, Miss Huan is almost like a thin horse in Yangzhou, raised by the Chen family, just waiting to earn a sum of money in the future. Besides, the Huan girl was born with a national color, if the son does not go to Songjiang, I am afraid that when she is young, she will be sold to the pear orchard at best, and she may even be sold to the Qinglou at worst, in fact, both are to entertain people! At that time, Miss Huan is only afraid that life is better than death! ”
How so!
Wu Cai's words made Shi Yiwen's heart set off a wave of waves, he didn't expect Chen Yi to be so shameless, let alone that under the appearance of this seemingly peaceful and prosperous world, there was such a scene of cannibalism.
Seeing that Gongzi looked surprised, Wu Cai shook his head and sighed.
"Therefore, I will make my own assertions in the future, and when the son refuses, he will say that he will leave Miss Huan, after all, the son is kind-hearted, and he will never treat Miss Huan harshly. After all, I'm also a person with a daughter. ”
Wu Yichang sighed, his expression was a little depressed, and finally smiled bitterly.
"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the son when I say it, and I almost made a big mistake back then...... Hey, that's it, I don't see this kind of thing the most. ”
"Maoda ......"
With a sigh in his heart, Shi Yiwen's eyes flashed with a fierce color.
"Saving people, I am naturally willing to save, but when I think of that Chen Yi, that kind of shameless person who earned a large sum of money with the "flying shuttle" in exchange for the Huan girl, and made a fortune from then on, I am unwilling in my heart! ”
"Childe thinks that Chen Yi can make a fortune with this?"
Wu Cai sneered.
"Not to mention anything else, this time our shuttle has sold a total of 376 cloth villages, and these cloth villages now seem to be in a hurry to ask craftsmen to make "shuttles", but how long can they be rushed? This is just a simple device, in the next view, as short as half a year, as long as a year, the cloth machine of each cloth village will be all added to the "shuttle", and may even be faster, he Chen Yi is both to get the drawings and what can be? After three or five months, when the other craftsmen have their hands freed, what else will he do? ”
After sneering, Wu Cai saw that Gongzi did not speak, so he smiled.
"Actually, in my heart, I'm afraid that Childe would have expected it a long time ago, otherwise with Childe's character, he would definitely oppose it."
Looking out the window at the surging river, he was silent for a long time, the expression on Shi Yiwen's face changed a few times, and he suddenly said.
"Maoda, Nanjing should be almost here."
In fact, this is also the meaning of serving tea to send off guests, when Wu Caiying got down, Shi Yiwen left the somewhat stuffy cabin, came to the side of the boat, put himself on the boat, and felt the freshness of the river breeze, but he sighed again, and his face showed a little helplessness.
"Slave and maid, thank the young master for his rescue."
At this moment, the delicate voice came from behind him to his ears, and when he looked back, he saw Chen Huan kneeling behind him at some point.
"Xiaohuan, what are you doing here?"
When Shi Yiwen helped her up, he only heard her say.
"What Mr. Wu said to his son, the slaves and maids all heard it."
Chen Huan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at the young master, his face full of tears.
"Actually, the slave maid knows that when my uncle asked someone to teach the slave to play the piano and sing when I was a child, my aunt also said it, but my uncle said that it was ......."
Chen Huan, who was full of grievances, choked up and didn't even finish his words.
"I got it, I got it......"
Comforting Chen Huan, who was choked up, Shi Yiwen said.
"From now on, this is your home, forget about the past......"
"Well, the maid will definitely serve the young master wholeheartedly in the future......"
Shi Yiwen looked down at Chen Huan, who was much shorter than him, and the little girl also looked up at him, a pair of bright almond eyes, wide open, and her face was a shy expression......
The ship traveled for another two days and arrived in Nanjing. When Shi Yiwen returned home, Xiao Lian and Kou Yun saw that there was an extra maid ring next to the young master, when they learned what happened to Chen Huan. Little Mercy only sighed softly, and then took her hand and said softly.
"Xiaohuan, maybe some things are destined, let's treat this as my home in the future......"
