XXXIV. New Blood (II)
The boy struggled to get up, but it was not known whether it was because he had been on the ship for a long time, or because he was too weak to get up after two struggles. Shopkeeper Zheng was just about to help him, but Shi Mo Guangyan stretched out his hand to stop: "I can't climb up, if you help him once, can you help him for a lifetime?" ”
Shopkeeper Zheng glanced at him and retreated a little abruptly.
A boy behind the child originally wanted to help him up, but when he heard Shi Mo Guangyan's words, he also stopped, and just shouted from behind: "Get up, get up, Yun Rui hurry up!" ”
Of the children, the thinnest one fell, and the children next to him were silent, except for the one behind him.
"Let's go, let's go!" Shima Hirohiko shouted again: "Hugh must stop, go quickly!" ”
The rest of the children staggered, and the screaming child was so anxious that tears came out, and the one who fell on the ground was sobbing incessantly, but the more anxious he was, the more he disobeyed his feet, and it was easy to get up, and his knees were weak and he lay on the ground.
Shima Guangyan's expression was cold, and there was no sympathy in his eyes. He took the whip from one of his companions, waved it and whipped it on the neck of the screaming child, who shrunk his neck, sobbing tears on his face, but he had to take a step forward, and looked back at the fallen child step by step: "Yun Rui get up, you get up quickly!" ”
"I'm going to get up!" The boy called Yun Rui screamed, and finally got up again, stumbling forward two steps, but fell to the ground again. This time, however, he quickly got up, staggered to keep up with the group, and stumbled again among the children, and nearly fell, but was held back by the boy who had begun to call him.
Finding that Shi Mo Hirohiko's cold gaze swept over, the boy said loudly: "He can go, he is walking, don't leave him!" ”
This boy made a deep impression on Shi Mo Guanghiko, and he snorted: "Qiu Shuang, you are kind-hearted." ”
Qiu Shuang stubbornly raised his head and looked at Shi Mo Guanghiko, who waved the whip in his hand and shook it a few times, but in the end he didn't fight.
These children from the war-torn place in the north, came to the most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, saw the crowds of people on the street, the shops on both sides lined up, heard the sound of vendors selling one after another, the sound of the cart, the sound of the oars breaking the water, they were all stunned, the pace was inevitably a little slow, Shi Mo Guangyan at first also urged with a voice, and even waved the whip and whipped a few whips, but then thought about it, they went through hardships to get to this prosperous place, and they didn't know what kind of situation it would be when they went to Yuzhang Villa, so let them take a look at it more.
These dozens of children walking on the streets of Lin'an are not particularly eye-catching. Lin'an is prosperous, rich families and noble families have many people who buy servants, although the government has issued a ban three times and twice, but there are policies and countermeasures is my Chinese practice for thousands of years, so this person is a slave trader, and it is not uncommon in Lin'an City. After the drastic changes, Shi Ma Guanghiko's face was withered and thin, and his eyes were cold, but he was like those people and slave traders. Along the way, there were people who kept stopping and asking, and he sent them away one by one.
There were also people who came to inquire about the traffickers in Lin'an, and when they learned that these children were not selling in Lin'an, they said a few words and left. Shi Mo Guangyan now has a lot of money, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to recruit the old, and there are one or twenty companions accompanying him, so ordinary wanderers do not dare to easily come forward to provoke.
Shi Mo Guangyan also had some scruples in his heart, and he didn't dare to do more in Lin'an City, so early the next morning, he ordered someone to send these children to Yuzhang Villa. When the population was collected, he found that Qiu Shuang and the child who fell yesterday were still in the house and had not come out.
At first, Shi Mo Hirohiko only said that the two of them fled by night, and he didn't care, but after a while, the companion who went to inspect came back and said, "Dongjia, one of those two boys is sick, and the other is taking care of him." ”
Shi Ma Guangyan frowned, the northerners came south, and there were many people who fell ill due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, but along the way, those who were weak had already been thrown into the sea, and when they arrived in Lin'an, there were even sick people. He hesitated a little and said, "Let the good one come out, and the sick one will stay here to rest first." ”
"I called and whipped twice, but the good ones just didn't come out." Bandang said with a wry smile.
Shi Mo Guangyan snorted, he didn't have to ask, he knew who the good one was, it must be Qiu Shuang. He turned his head and looked, Zheng shopkeeper was chanting Buddha in a low voice, and Shi Mo Guangyan knew that he was eating Zhaixin Bodhisattva, and his heart softened slightly. If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the little owner of Yuzhang Villa, he would have only lost his family property and had two empty hands, that is, for their sake, they should also have a good heart.
It can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue for them to repay their kindness, as for himself, as long as he can avenge the blood and blood for his father's family, he will not hesitate to fall into the hell of Ah Bi!
He quickly stepped into the house where the children lived, this house was found temporarily, although it was large enough, but it was extremely crude, but fortunately, the weather in May in Jiangnan was warm, and the children were all bunks on the floor, and they were not afraid of the cold. As soon as Shima Hirohiko entered the room, he smelled the stench, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.
"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Qiu Shuang holding a broken porcelain bowl from nowhere and feeding water to the sick boy, Shi Mo Guangyan asked.
"He's sick and burns badly, uncle, please, give him a Langzhong!" With tears in his eyes, Qiu Shuang put down the bowl and put his hands together to kneel down for Shi Mo Guangyan: "Uncle, now it's in the city, not in the sea, please don't throw him!" ”
The corners of Shi Ma Hirohiko's mouth twitched, when he was on the boat, because he threw those seriously ill and dying children into the sea, he was no different from the fierce gods and evil gods in the hearts of these bought children.
Seeing that he was silent, Qiu Shuang kowtowed and said: "Uncle beg, please come to Lang Zhong to cure him, the small one is to be a cow and a horse, and he must also repay the uncle's kindness......"
"Well, you have a lot of bullpower? Or do some horses run fast? Shi Mo Guangyan snorted coldly: "What do I want you to do!" ”
"Uncle!" Qiu Shuang raised his head and pleaded.
"Although you kid was born ugly like a ghost, you have a bodhisattva heart......" Shi Mo Guangyan scolded in a low voice: "Wasn't you quite stubborn when you stared at me yesterday, and today it's like this, you accompany him, this kid...... It's called Li Yunrui, since he fell ill when he arrived here, he was considered a big life. Shopkeeper Zheng, find a man for him! ”
The shopkeeper Zheng who followed him answered cleanly, and immediately went out to send someone to find Langzhong. Na Qiu Shuang kowtowed and thanked him for a thousand thanks, Shi Mo Guangyan snorted, ignored him, and turned around and went out.
Vaguely, Qiu Shuang seemed to hear Shi Mo Guangyan say: "I hope these two boys will have such luck in the future." ”
