Chapter 202: The Tooth Man
"Young lady... Why don't you go with you? The Xiao people asked weakly.
"Xiao Mu, now I'll give you a task." Frost turned her head and said.
"You say!"
"Take care of Miss Mu, I'll just go and come back. If something goes wrong on her side, look at how Xiao Ning and I clean you up! Shuang'er's words were a little heavy, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, and Xiao Mu couldn't help but shudder when she saw it.
"This... It's..."That Xiao Mu is just a small follower with relatively high martial arts skills around Xiao Ning. is new to the rivers and lakes, and I don't know much about the world.
He couldn't help but glance back at Mu Xiyao, who was sitting in Yingguang, who seemed to be pure and kind in the heart of a heavenly immortal, and had some doubts in his heart. I couldn't help muttering to myself: "What is the identity of that little girl... Can the young master and the young lady pay attention? β
"She's the cousin of the young master of your family, yes..."Shuang'er thought for a while, but still didn't say the next sentence. After all, the former lady and maid identity of Shuang'er has gone with the passage of time.
Xiao Mu was taken aback and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry!" Young lady, I don't know..."The young master's cousin, that is also the young lady's sister, this identity is really unprovoked.
"I'm out of the house. If Xiao Ning comes back, you can tell him that you don't have to worry about it, anyway, I'll be back in a while. He still has something to do, so let him get busy. After saying this, Shuang'er pondered for a while. Uncle Xiao's body doesn't seem to be very tough, = Xiao Ning is busy going back this time, isn't it because of the patriarch's change?
When he went back to the Xiao clan with Xiao Ning to get married, he saw a lot of brothers of the same age as him. If he can succeed, then he and the second half of his life will be stable, if he fails...
Thinking of this, Shuang'er couldn't help but shake her head. He's not going to fail!
"Yes! Young lady! You can go out with confidence! β
"Well, I'm leaving." Shuang'er covered the hat a few more times, looked down at the cloth on her body, nodded slightly, and went out with a basket.
Xiao Mu began to carry out the daily yard inspection tasks one by one.
Outside, next to a haystack.
"Big brother, big brother! Look, there's someone out of the house! β
"Great! It's not in vain that we've been squatting for so long! In the past few days, the government has been arresting fugitives, and we don't dare to blatantly come out to do business! β
"Big brother... Are we teethers above board? β
"Shut up! Fast! Keep up! Look where the hell the man is going! β
A group of three people sneaked out of the haystack and followed behind the frost who went out.
They found that Frost was very alert and would look behind her from time to time. If it weren't for the quick response of himself and others, he would have been discovered a long time ago.
It's weird.
Frost hat
Dai's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Why do you always feel like you're being followed?
However, in addition to the officers and soldiers who posted the papers, the people who came and went were the shops and tourists who bought and sold the goods. Nothing else.
Can...
She sighed helplessly. Since Xiao Ning's robbery, the imperial court has sent people to search on a large scale, and every day we can see those who are not hiding well being arrested.
After all, such a big thing happened, the government was under martial law, and the city gates were locked. To get in and out of the city gates, you need some credentials and means.
Many of the fugitives ran to the city gates, or slipped out of the city gates not long before they were caught.
How can a man's feet be as fast as a horse's hoof?
Forget it, go ahead and buy what you need. If you don't go back quickly, you always feel unsteady when you are alone in this troubled world.
...
"Big brother, that person seems to be going to the market?"
"You don't need to say it! Lao Tzu can see it! β
"Ouch, it hurts!"
"Can you shut up! It's good to say that it was discovered by that person, and it was discovered by officers and soldiers! You're going to die! β
"Big brother, don't pay attention to the third brother. Second brother, I always feel that the woman we are following is a woman. β
"Woman? Made! That's not all in vain! The people we're going to catch and sell are the ones who do coolies! How much is a woman worth? β
"Big brother, you're just getting into the horns. Those coolies are naturally valuable, but they are not as valuable as first-class maids..."The second child said this, his eyes shining.
"What do you meanβ" The Boss didn't think about it.
"We can do this, we can do thisβ" The second whispered in the eldest ear, and the third leaned over to eavesdrop.
After the three of them discussed, they smiled gloomily. That evil smile is like three demons.
...
"These dishes... Enough to eat, right? β
Shuang'er looked at the basket full of vegetables and fruits, frowned and muttered to herself.
I always feel that it is not enough, but if I buy it again, I can't lift it.
What to do?
She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, held the heavy fruits and vegetables in her hands, and looked around anxiously. It would be nice if you could hire someone to help you get around the house.
Suddenly, Shuang'er's afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of something, and she was overjoyed, and she walked towards that side with the basket of vegetables in both hands.
...
"Three awesome teams! I'm really here to help! One person only needs a tael of silver! If you need it, come and decide! β
"Second brother, did your method work? One or two pieces of silver for a person, isn't it too dark? β
"Big brother, you don't know anything. As long as there is an urgent need for help, no matter how expensive the silver, he is willing to give it! β
"Seems to make sense..."
The two of them whispered on the side, and by the way, they watched the third child all the time
When you raise your throat and roar.
"Hey, what do you mean by this awesome?"
A nice voice rang in the ears of the three of them. All three of them had eyes lit up.
The boss quietly gave the second child a thumbs up.
The second child secretly winked at the boss.
Only the third child, hearing this voice, looked a little red-faced. "That's... What, aunt, no, eldest sister, no, what..."When the words came to his mouth, the most crucial word suddenly froze.
The boss glanced at him with contempt, pushed the third child aside, and his hands seemed to be very nervous behind his back, and asked cautiously: "What's that... Girl, do you need any help? β
Shuang'er's face under the hat was slightly stunned, and she was about to ask, "How are you..."How do you know that I am a girl? Suddenly reacted, his face flushed slightly, and he changed his words embarrassedly: "Why do you call it a bangbang?" What does it mean to be awesome? β
"That! That one! The third child jumped up, and was just about to speak when he was pressed down by the boss.
"Bangbang means the labor that helps." The Boss tried to laugh. He's making his face look kinder.
"Helping labor?" Frost was stunned. This... Isn't this just someone sending a pillow when drowsiness comes?
"That's... How much money did you gang once? She asked suspiciously.
"One or two! One or two is enough! The third jumped out again.
The eldest and second looked at the young third who had just come out of the rivers and lakes. This guy is excited to hear that someone else's voice is a woman.
"One or two?" The eyes hidden under the frost hat swirled. I really don't feel comfortable asking others to help, but there are so many things that I can't lift myself, and there are still many I haven't bought, what should I do?
"That's... It's one or two, one person and one or two. The boss's funny smile became a unique sight in the crowd.
"One person, one or two? So expensive? "Shuang'er thought it was one or two packs of three people, but I didn't expect...
"That's... Girl, you know that. Cheap is not good, good is not cheap. When the eldest rubbed his hands awkwardly and didn't know how to answer, the second brother walked out and replied politely.
"Somewhat." Frost nodded, put the injured basket down, and shook her arm tiredly. "Where are you all from?"
The three of them looked at each other.
It was the second child who spoke up first: "All three of us are southerners. β
"What are the southerners doing in the north?!" Frost's heart is alert. Since experiencing Ye Shuqiu's incident, she has not had a very good impression of southerners.
"For life."
"For life?"
"Hmm."
Shuang'er glanced at the ragged appearance of the three of them, and the pity in her heart flooded. She doesn't
Nai nodded, "Okay, although three taels of silver is a bit expensive, but it's still affordable..."
When they heard that three taels of silver were expensive, the eyes of the three of them dimmed. Could it be that this man doesn't have that much money on him?
But the latter sentence can bear ...
The boss gave the third child a look, and the third child hurriedly ran over and lifted the basket that Shuang'er had placed on the ground. He frowned slightly, sank his dantian, drank it, and picked it up with one hand.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't give you money when I get there?" Shuang'er secretly cheered for the third child in her heart, but also asked the eldest and second child with a slight smile.
The second child stretched out a palm.
"Huh?" Frost was stunned for a moment.
"Girl, a tael of silver, a deposit." The second child said slowly, "When you get to the place, it's not too late for you to give us the remaining two taels of silver." β
"Okay!" Shuang'er happily took out a delicate purse, took out one or two pieces of silver from it, and handed it to the second child. "Speaking of which, I still have something to buy, otherwise I wouldn't have rented the three of you."
When the second child saw the delicate purse, a slight light flashed in his eyes. He was even more convinced that this time, he and the others had caught a big fish.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The old ambassador nodded vigorously.
However, after just a stick of incense, the three of them were filled with remorse in their hearts.
Not a discovery of conscience, but... What a lot of things this girl has to buy! I'm dying of exhaustion...
"Second brother, is your method useful?" The eldest was behind Shuang'er and complained to the second child in a low voice.
"Boss! If you want to make a lot of money, listen to your brother! I'm sure of it! There must be someone else in that room besides herself! β
"Made, I don't want to take on this business anymore, my bones are going to break." The boss was hanging with a large bag on his body, and he kept panting and complaining. "Is it necessary for us to do this for the sake of a first-class maid?"
"Boss! Silence! β
"Well... In other words, why does the third child keep his face full of red light? β
"I've never seen a woman... This time, I finally ran into one, no matter how I said it, I have to show it..."The second child shrugged his shoulders indifferently, lifted the cloth bag on his body hard, and then shut up.
"Alas! Out of breath! β
...
"That's it! It's here! Thank you for your hard work, let it go! Frost spoke to the three in an alley not far from the hut.
"Whew..."
The three of them can finally put down the things on their bodies and move their muscles and bones.
"Oh, by the way, I can't give you all the money yet." Shuang'er seemed to think of something, she took out another tael of silver and handed it to the three people, "Help me look at the things, I'll call someone to pick it up, and then settle the bill completely, can you see it?" β
"Okay, okay."
The eldest and the second looked at each other and smiled bitterly, only
The third child is still so excited.
"Why do I think this tooth job is not easy to do?" The boss was speechless.
"Boss, after doing this, the three of us won't wash our hands, right?" The second child hesitated for a moment and pointed to the sky, "Do you know, the imperial court has been suppressing us more and more strictly, and there is almost no room for survival." β
"Second brother, you are the most knowledgeable of the three of us, what do you say we will do!"
"We... Take refuge in Ye Xiang, right? The second asked the boss tentatively.
The boss pondered for a while, "Okay, let's see who there are in this family first!" β
"Hmm!"
It didn't take long.
"You're still there! Thank you for your hard work! β

Wonderful!
