Chapter 8 Sold into slavery

Li Hongji lay flat on the soft bed, feeling uneasy, although he had experienced wind and rain and seen rainbows, Han Jin'er was someone else's aunt after all.

Is it appropriate to sleep in her bed by yourself?

"Hongji, when you go home on weekdays, you are like a hungry wolf, why are you like a good sheep today?" Han Jin'er's little hand rubbed against Li Hongji's chest, but she didn't find out that this Li Hongji was fake.

"Oh." Li Hongji responded casually, he held Han Jin'er's squirming little hand, and Han Jin'er's teasing made him let go.

It is also appropriate to take up his fame and occupy his body, to suffer for him in the world, and to enjoy his woman.

Besides, the real Li Hongji doesn't know if he is dead, or where he is free.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and eagerly turned over and pressed Han Jin'er under him.

………………………………

For about half an hour, the clouds and rain stopped, and the sun shone.

Han Jin'er didn't clean up either, she leaned into Li Hongji's arms like a little white rabbit, Li Hongji stroked Han Jin'er's little face, "Jin'er ......"

"Hongji, you are really still a hungry wolf, Ao, not a hungry wolf, it is even fiercer than a tiger." Han Jin'er leaned tightly on Li Hongji's armpit, greedily sucking the masculinity on Li Hongji's body, and her little hands also wrapped around Li Hongji's waist.

Li Hongji clamped Han Jin'er with his right arm and put his big hand on her smooth waist, "Jin'er, these days when I'm not at home, I've suffered you." ”

"Didn't Hongji go to Ningxia? From now on, we can be together every day. Han Jin'er whispered like a dream.

"Well, I'll never go to Ningxia again, we'll be together forever."

Han Jin'er raised her head suddenly, her crystal eyes staring at Li Hongji in the night, "Hongji, what you said about making a fortune just now, is it true?" ”

"It's really true," Li Hongji couldn't explain to Han Jin'er, so he had to say vaguely: "It's just that if it is really realized, I don't know how long it will take." ”

"Oh," Han Jin'er turned her body slightly, and the arm around Li Hongji's body also relaxed, "It's just Master Ai...... Master Ai is afraid that he will not wait long, listen to his tone, he must return the silver immediately, in the past, I still shirked, hoping to repay him with your salary, but now that you are back, I am not sure when the people of the Ai family will come over. ”

Li Hongji doesn't have any cash now, although he has a treasure on him, Da Ming has no knowledge, "Master Ai's business, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's a big deal to find someone to vouch for it." ”

"Let's talk about it tomorrow," Han Jin'er yawned lazily, "Hongji is tired, right?" I'm going to sleep too. ”

Because he was worried about Ai Juren's silver, Li Hongji woke up early in the morning, simply got up, he walked around the outside of the house, ready to breathe in the fresh air, but found a strange man at the back door.

The man was ghostly, peeking into his house, and when he saw Li Hongji, he was not afraid, he stared at Li Hongji tightly, and then turned to leave.

Li Hongji felt strange and went home to tell Han Jin'er, Han Jin'er frowned, "Could it be Master Ai's person?" ”

"Master Ai? No way? I just came home yesterday, how does he know I'm back? Li Hongji doesn't believe that there is electronic surveillance in this era, could it be that the Ai family is monitoring his house? It's just a few taels of silver, is it worth it?

"There is a Zhuangzi in the vicinity of the Ai family, and the people in the Zhuangzi may be watching," Han Jin'er looked very nervous, "Hongji, what should I do?" Even if it weren't for them, Master Ai would have sent someone sooner or later. ”

Li Hongji took out the only ten copper coins from his arms, "Jin'er, I only have ten ......."

"Shiwen? What is the top fart of Shiwen? Han Jin'er snatched the copper coin, "It's not enough money to buy noodles at home......"

Li Hongji couldn't help it, but when Han Jin'er talked about buying noodles, it happened that his stomach was hungry, "Jin'er, Master Ai's business, let's talk about it later, I'm really hungry, do you have anything to eat at home?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat," Han Jin'er said fiercely, "In the past year, have you ever brought back a penny of copper coins to your family?" Where can I get food if I don't have money? ”

"You ......" Li Hongji was a little annoyed, there was no money at home, so he couldn't blame himself, he had just taken over the family, and he went to Lingzhou by himself, took Wu Ermao and them to pick wolfberries, and crossed into such an unlucky family, he already had tears nowhere, and he also had debts from Ai Juren.

"What's wrong with me? Follow you to starve sooner or later, I was really blind at the beginning. Han Jin'er's peach blossom eyes had already turned into apricot eyes, and the warm saliva sprayed on Li Hongji's face, which was very different from the feeling last night.

"But ......"

Han Jin'er turned into the back room, took out two nests, and threw them on the table of the Eight Immortals, "There are only these two nests in the house." ”

Li Hongji looked at the sockets of his eyes, which were dark red, and there were broken shells of sorghum on them, he picked up a nest head and handed it over, "Jin'er, you can eat some too!" “

Han Jin'er snatched the head of the nest, "Eat, eat, eat, eat this meal, what should I do next?" Then he brought the nest to his mouth and bit it hard.

Li Hongji went through his relatives and friends in his mind, and there was really no one who could borrow five taels of silver, "Jin'er? ”

"What's the use of calling me? I'm a woman, what can I do? You can't let me ......" Han Jin'er's eyes were red, and she couldn't go on.

Li Hongji sighed, "Jin'er, why don't I go around and see if I can think of some way, so I can borrow some silver and deal with Master Ai first." ”

"Master Ai is so easy to deal with?" Han Jin'er's voice became louder and louder, and a teardrop the size of a bean slid over her fair face and entered the corners of her mouth, diluting the scarlet at the corners of her mouth.

Only then did Li Hongji find out that Han Jin'er's scarlet lips were colored, and he had no money to eat, so could he have the money to buy rouge? He was angry in his heart, and he didn't say much, and left the house by himself.

Li Hongji walked downstream along the Heimutou River, he once again went through all his acquaintances in his mind, still there was no hope, as Li Guo said, among relatives and friends, there is really no one who can borrow him five taels of silver, things are gathered by like, how can a poor person like him have rich relatives and friends?

At this time, the water level of the Heimutou River is extremely low, and the width of the water surface is only ten steps.

Li Hongji walked along the river embankment for more than ten miles, until he came to the Heimutou River, but this town is not lively, there are no passers-by, not to mention, even the local people rarely wander around the town, he is hungry and thirsty, but the only ten copper coins on his body have been handed over to Han Jin'er, and it is impossible to buy a cup of tea to drink now.

was ridiculed by Han Jin'er in the morning, Li Hongji was angry in his belly, and now he was hungry and thirsty, Li Hongji felt very depressed, others crossed, they were all princes and generals, and the most unfortunate was also a happy and rich man, and he didn't even have a full meal.

But these things can't be blamed on Han Jin'er, she is a woman, naturally she has to rely on Li Hongji, Li Hongji has no silver, no food, and debts, so she can't be asked to cook without rice.

Although his face couldn't survive his belly, Li Hongji was still ashamed to see people, he endured his hunger and thirst, left the town, and walked in the direction of home.

"Horseman!" Li Hongji cursed, kicked a small stone into the Black Wood River, about five miles away from the town, he simply sat down to bask in the sun, he always said that it was beautiful and delicious, he didn't know that sunshine could not satisfy hunger, sunlight is the ultimate source of all energy on the earth, but he could not use it directly.

In October, the weather was already quite cold, and the sun was shining on his body, but it was warm, Li Hongji smoothed out the grass roots on the ground, and simply lay on the embankment on one side.

He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes slightly.

What is the reason for the current predicament?

The real Li Hongji, who has left this world, not only contributed his name and origin, but also his mother-in-law and aunt, and it is obviously unreasonable to blame him.

Han Jin'er is just a woman, when the family is facing such a desperate situation, it is understandable that she said a few words of complaint, at least she did not run away from home, nor did she choose to divorce evasively like her parents in later generations.

The problem should lie in the imperial court, if the imperial court can pay the salary in full, he will not owe debts and not pay them, if the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty are developed enough, he can easily find a job, and he will not be a hero for a penny.

Now without the "Administrative Litigation Law", Li Hongji cannot recover debts from the imperial court, and he cannot let the Ming Dynasty quickly enter the industrialized society, and poverty will be the norm for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Since you can't change society, you have to change yourself.

Li Hongji was even prepared that if Ai raised people to collect debts, he would sell himself as a slave in Ai Fu, or become a long-term worker in Ai Fu to pay off his debts and tide over this difficulty for the time being.

It is best to become a long-term worker in Aifu, so that there is personal freedom, in addition to part-time work, you can also engage in your own business, as long as any of his product research is successful, not only to repay debts, but also to become a rich man in Shaanxi, and even in the Ming Dynasty, that is just around the corner.

In the middle of the day, Zhu Youzhen was hungry and thirsty, so he got up from the embankment, drank two sips of water in the Heimutou River, his belly no longer protested strongly, he washed his face with water, patted the soil on his body, and it was time to go home.

When Li Hongji returned to Lijia Station, he saw four or five young men standing in front of his house, all of whom were dressed in gray clothes and pants, and had turbans wrapped around their heads, as if they were servants of someone's family.

"Is there something wrong with the family?"

He walked a few steps to the middle gate, "You are ......"

"Who are you? Do you want to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs? A family-looking person glanced at Li Hongji, squinted his eyes and asked, "Irrelevant people, get out of here early." ”

Li Hongji forcibly suppressed the blood of the ascendant, he patted his sleeve, and was sprayed by the dog, "I am Li Hongji, who are you?" What are you doing at my house? ”

The family seemed to be frightened by Li Hongji's momentum, he stared at Li Hongji for a long time, and when the other family members also gathered around, he stretched out his hand to Li Hongji, "It turns out that you are Li Hongji, I can't find you, bring it!" ”

"What to take? What should I do to you? Li Hongji was confused for a while, could it be that they were their own creditors?

"What garlic do you pretend? Depending on who you are, you can't rely on Master Ai's silver, I won't tell you, at this moment, Master Ai is drinking and drinking tea at the county banquet master's house, and he can't take out the silver, and he has his own national law to make you look good. Jiading's finger almost pointed at Li Hongji's nose.
