Second, I'll go
Several of his men untied the ropes from the girls, threw away the rags stuffed in their mouths, and several girls helped each other to get out of the carriage.
After a few people stood still, the second master walked in front of a few girls, only to see that these girls were about fourteen or fifteen years old, all of them had blue and yellow faces, chapped lips, and their bodies were thin like a dead leaf flying in the wind, only a pair of eyes were pure and clear, but now they were full of horror and doubt.
The second master glanced at the girls in front of him like wild weeds for a while, and said: "Our Boss Lu in the grass ridge is about to get married, and the bride lacks two maids to serve, which of you wants to stay?" ”
Cheng Huaicai and Zhu Quanquan, who were kneeling on the side, looked at each other with a pale complexion, but looking at the bright knife in front of them, they could only swallow the words back and bow their heads weakly.
Seeing that no one replied, he said again: "Don't worry, as long as you go up the mountain, we will protect your family, and we won't let people go to them to ask for lock silver." ”
No matter what the reason, these girls who were sold had already cut off contact with the family when their families signed the documents of sale, and since then they have nothing to do with life, old age, sickness and death, but if anyone walks on the road, that is, sneaks away, then the flag owner will still send these snake manzi to the girl's family to ask for the money spent on the purchase, which is to "beg for lock silver".
It may be that the parents are unable to raise them, it may be that they want to exchange the rations for their younger siblings to survive, it may be... No matter what the reason is, these girls have since become catkins in the wind and duckweed in the water, without support and support, they can only resign themselves to fate and can only fall to the end of the world. But even so, at the moment, they are still thinking about their "family", and they are afraid of causing trouble to their families and being infamy. What a fool! The second boss scolded in his heart.
There was a brief silence.
"I'll go," a soft voice wafted in.
The second master turned his head to look at the girl who was talking. Although the beige clothes are a little dirty, the texture of the clothes is better than others, the purple-red strangulation marks on the white wrists are still clearly visible, and the eyes under the unkempt black hair are clear. Different from the panic in the eyes of others, these eyes actually have a trace of calmness and a trace of stubbornness!
"Very well, what's your name?"
"The beginning of the Meng language"
"How old are you?"
"Fourteen"
"Would you like to go up the mountain?"
"Yes"
"Oh, why?"
Cheng Huaicai and Zhu Quan on the side were extremely depressed, obviously you were going to rob people to go up the mountain, but now someone is willing to go and ask people why, are you too idle for a day? ! Great Demon King, don't be so verbose, hurry up and pick a good person to go!
"I've been tied up for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
The second master squinted his eyes and stared at this Meng girl playfully for a while, and said with a grin on the corner of his mouth:
"Know the current affairs, not bad!"
Then he turned to the others and asked, "Who else wants to go up the mountain?" ”
Seeing that no one answered, he walked up to a girl who looked a little older and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Sixteen" weak voice.
"What's your name?"
"Ume"
"Well, it's you!"
Like Mei Sheng, who has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, her family did not ask her for money, because the dowry is not as light as the one sold to Snake Manzi, although she has a grudge against her family, but no one wants to have anything to do with the "bandits", especially a girl's family, once she enters the bandits' den, her reputation will be ruined, and she may not be able to marry for the rest of her life. But now, my life is not in my own hands at all, how can I fight...
After the second master picked a good person, he turned to look at Cheng Huaicai and said, "Take their deed of sale." ”
Cheng Huaicai's lips trembled, and with trembling hands, he took out a stack of documents from his arms and presented them.
"Scholar!" The second master shouted behind him.
A young man with a bookish face, a short coat on his upper body, a belt on his legs, and cloth shoes on his feet walked up.
The second master pointed to the stack of papers and said to the young man, "Find out the deed of sale of the two of them." ”
"yes, got it."
Cheng Zhu and the others looked at this young man who was called "scholar" puzzled, only to see that although he had beautiful eyebrows, he was a little wooden, such a person looked like a nerd who only knew perennial work, how poor was his family, and he came to be a bandit?
Soon the scholar found the deed of sale of Meng Yuchu and Mei Sheng, and the second master took the remaining documents and threw them in front of Cheng Zhu and the two of them together with the bag of broken silver they had just found, and shouted: "Take your silver!" Go back and tell you the Lord of the Banner, just say that Wei Chengyong, the second leader of Luocaoling, borrowed his two girls, if he doesn't want to go, he will send more silver, and we will take it all, hahaha...".
After speaking, another whistle was heard, and a chaotic sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near, and in the dusty place, there were five or six horses, Wei Dangjia grabbed one of the big horses with red legs and white legs and turned over, and bent down again, grabbed Meng Yuchu and put it on the horse, and the rest of the people also got on the horse, and Wang Liu also grabbed Mei Sheng on the horse. Just when everyone was about to ride their horses and whip up, Wei Dangjia turned back to Cheng Zhu and said, "These little girls are also raised by their fathers and mothers, don't tie them up like animals, or treat them well, if you get sick, you can't explain to your boss!" ”
