Chapter 40: The Servant Woman and the Slave

"Manager, you can handle the rest by yourself. You don't have to go into all the details. Zheng Sheng is very worried, in the past few days, he has too many worries. Not long ago, Zheng made a fuss, and before that, Wen Xiaoting and other three women were forced to do it, and now they are talking big.

It's annoying!

Originally, he felt that a month was enough time.

As a result, Zheng Wen calculated for him, it would take more than ten days to walk this way, he needed to stay in Changsha for a few days, and he needed to arrive at Anlu a few days in advance, leaving Zheng Shi with only a few days to prepare for departure!

Ren had no choice but to withdraw, then slapped his head and muttered, "That strange thing hasn't been said yet?" What can I do? Forget it, I had to recruit from outside! ”

Ren Ji came to his temporary "office" and said to his "cronies" subordinate Wang Jun: "Xiaojun, you and Song Anzuo go outside to recruit a few servants, remember to verify their identities and origins, and don't mix in with the spies." ”

Wang Jun rubbed his sore wrist: "Manager, do you really want to recruit?" ”

"Move!"

"I still agree with Xiaojun's point of view. Manager, this thing is too weird, it's just a few servants, it's a big deal that we can arrange a few more handymen. Song Anzuo said.

Ren Ji shook his head: "With those three following, it is not appropriate not to arrange a few servants in the convoy." ”

Wang Jun got up: "Then let's go." ”

Wang Jun and Song Anzuo wrote the recruitment documents, went out, walked into the West Market, and pasted the paper on the publicity wall.

Half an hour later, Wang Jun recruited two innocent and rough middle-aged women.

Song Anzuo came over to take a look: "Xiao Jun is really capable!" Much better than me. ”

"Brother Song said that you laughed, have you recruited someone?"

Song Anzuo nodded: "It's a Qian woman, she settled in Nanyang with her seriously ill husband a few years ago, and this kind of foreigner who is a single family is the safest." ”

"Qiang?" Wang Jun looked behind him curiously, and saw a woman who looked as tall as an ordinary adult man, but was wearing an ordinary Han women's costume, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

After recruiting someone, the two went home, Wang Jun went to report to work, and Song Anzuo took the three freshly baked subordinates to the place where the servants lived to settle them.

At night, the three people who lived together, no, two women of their own tribe got together and whispered.

"Well, I know that there is no such thing in the world! Do you know why the Zheng family, who is so easy to recruit, suddenly recruits servants? ”

"Why? Isn't it just a shortage of people to recruit? Didn't the little housekeeper say that it was because Zheng Xiaoshizi was going to Jiangxia to marry and the Zheng family lacked manpower, so he recruited us? ”

"If that's the case, can't the huge Zheng family even out of three servants?"

"yes, why?"

"Because something strange has happened to the Zheng family recently!"

"What's weird?"

"I heard that there are bad people who make it bad, as long as the servant woman who is arranged to enter the Jiangxia team will have all kinds of accidents the next day! Although you can't die, you will lose half your life! The servants of the Zheng clan were so panicked that they didn't dare to enter the convoy, so the Zheng clan recruited new people. ”

"Ahh So scary? It seems that Zheng's money is not easy to earn, or we will quit this job tomorrow? ”

"It's too late, I'm afraid the bad guy will be doing evil again tonight!"

"Then we'll leave overnight?"

"This? There's a curfew at night! ”

"Don't be afraid, it'll be all right! No bad people do evil. Then another voice rang out.

The two turned their heads in astonishment. The two of them talked so loudly that they had long forgotten that there was another person in the room.

"Oh, so you understand us?"

"I didn't understand it originally, but I've learned a lot in the past few years." Her tone suddenly became a little shy for some reason.

"Who taught you?"

“…… My husband. ”

The two understood, and then the gossipy two asked about the trivial things in her life.

She spoke defenselessly.

After a conversation, the two women were no longer wary of the foreigners.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is, big sister?"

"My name is Karma."

"Karma, why do you have such a strange name?" The name Karma is naturally not a pleasant name in the eyes of the Han people.

"Is it strange? That's good. ”

The two looked at each other: "Who gave you the name?" ”

"My husband. Originally, I didn't have a name. ”

"Your husband is a weirdo too."

Karma smiled, not retorting to her.

"Also, how do you know that there will be no accidents, Karma?" Suddenly, the woman remembered the most important topic of the night.

"Definitely not." Karma said with certainty.

Having said this, the two women could not say anything more. It wasn't early, and they rolled over and went to sleep.

Only the slave silently looked at the black, nothing-looking beams, thinking of her "weird" husband.

At that time, she had just fled from her hometown, and followed the fleeing crowd all the way to Luoyang, the most prosperous place in the world.

Aliens like her are the most discriminated against, and even the nobles who choose slaves among the exiles would not want a young woman like her with an unkempt face and fierce eyes like a wolf cub.

On that day, wandering aimlessly on the outskirts of the city, she met him in front of a rock, lying unconscious.

The traces of his crawling all the way were clear and obvious, and the dirty blood came to her like a thread of fate from far and near.

When she looked closer, she shuddered with shock, for she noticed that his face was covered with blood, and his whole body was about to be cold. It's almost a dead man.

But it's a strange dead man.

Accustomed to seeing life and death, she should have left. But the "corpse" suddenly moved. She was startled, and looked at it, but it was his right hand stretched out at his side that was slowly moving forward, forward, and forward, what was there in front of him worthy of his affection?

She made an unexpected choice.

She saved him

She took care of the man, and he miraculously survived.

The two initially got along with each other, and there were many difficulties. Later, he slowly taught her to learn the language of the Jin Kingdom.

"Take me south." That was his first request.

She doesn't care where she wants to go. took him all the way to Jingzhou.

He was taciturn, but treated her well, giving her the name of a karnu.

He knows martial arts and practices martial arts every day. He also taught her without hesitation.

Life in Jingzhou is plain and simple. The Karnu enjoyed this life very much.

She sometimes can't help but wonder if she could live like this forever.

She knew it wasn't possible, though.

On this day, he came back with a tired face.

"Karma, do me a favor, okay?"
