The red carp hurriedly picked up the white jade, wiped it carefully, and saw that Liu Tong's eyes were dull, so he sat down and ate it in small bites.

"Red carp, where is this? Which county am I talking about? Liu Tong came back to his senses and asked when he saw that the red carp had eaten it.

"Shinno! This is Xinye Shayan Village. ”

Xinye? Xinye in Jingzhou! It should be Liu Biao's territory. Liu Tong smiled bitterly, he was not useless and ignorant.

"What is your last name? Who else is in the family? ”

"Childe, my surname is Luo, my father's name is Luo Hu, my mother died of illness last year, and now I am the only one left in the family. In the past, Daddy was on an errand under General Cao, and the family was fine, but later Daddy's leg was broken, and his mother was sick again, so Daddy gave the house to the third grandfather and rented these houses. ”

"Your dad is in the army? Which General Cao is you with? Liu Tong thought to himself, Liu Biao did not have a famous general surnamed Cao.

"I don't know what General Cao's name is, ah, by the way, General Cao once gave my dad a waist card, saying that if he encountered difficulties, he asked him to take the waist card to him. My dad saved his life. I'll show you. Luo Hongli said and went into the house to find the waist card.

Liu Tong took the iron waist card handed over by the red carp and looked carefully, the waist card was three inches long, two inches wide, and the front was an auspicious cloud tiger head, Liu Tong turned over the iron card, only to see the word "cheap" on the back.

Liu Tong estimated that the word "Lian" should be the name or character of this general, Cao Lian? Cao what is cheap? Cao Lian what? Liu Tong muttered, suddenly stunned, "Cao Zilian, Cao Hong!" ”

Liu Tong felt pain in his abdomen and sat down again. The red carp was taken aback by Liu Tong, and when he saw that Liu Tong's abdomen was oozing blood, he hurriedly came over, half-knelt on the ground, and helped Liu Tong sort out his wounds.

"Who is Cao Hong?" Red Carp asked.

"Red carp, your father is a subordinate of Cao Cao's general Cao Hong, and he saved his life, you can go to him, he can help you."

No, Liu Tong was puzzled again, at this time, Cao Hong shouldn't have appeared in Xinye, could it be that the red carp said the wrong year? Or is this waist card not Cao Hong's? Or has history changed?

Hongli shook his head, "I don't know him, how can such a general pay attention to me." ”

"Is the red carp at home?"

At this moment, the voice of an adult man came from outside the door.

"Yes." The red carp replied and went out.

Liu Tong was curious and followed along.

Liu Tong saw a rich man in his thirties looking at the red carp with a smile, and a man in his 20s standing behind him. Only then did Liu Tong see clearly that the red carp house was a few earthen houses with a single courtyard, and there was a low stone wall in front of the door.

"Red carp, pack up, let's go." The rich man said.

Liu Tong was quite disgusted when he saw the man's treacherous appearance, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

The man behind the rich man saw that Liu Tong was pointing at his boss and his tone was not good, so he stepped forward and reached out to grab Liu Tong's chest and placket.

Without waiting to get started, Liu Tongyang blocked the man's right hand, grabbed his chest, threw him forward, and threw him out of the yard, the man rolled to the ground, and it took a while to get up.

The rich man was shocked, and Liu Tong was also surprised!

Liu Tong looked at his still outstretched right hand, dumbfounded, hehe, am I so powerful?

Liu Tong withdrew his hand and twisted his face, it hurts, it's not in a dream!

When the red carp saw Liu Tong making a move, he was so frightened that he hurriedly came over and grabbed Liu Tong and prevented him from continuing to beat people.

The rich man saw that Liu Tong made an extraordinary move, and saw that he was dressed and expensive, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he was so angry that he said, "This father, son, red carp sold himself to bury his father, this is a living deed, how can you do anything wrong?" ”

Liu Tong stretched out his hand and pulled the contract, and saw that it was written that Luo Hongli voluntarily sold himself as a maid for 1,000 yuan, and it was Chen Hu who signed a contract with her.

Hey, how do I still know ancient writing? The thought flashed, Liu Tong glared at the man and asked coldly, "Are you Chen Hu?" ”

"Exactly!"

Liu Tong saw that he had made an extraordinary move, he became bold, and with anger, he pointed at the red carp and said to Chen Hu viciously: "Such a girl like a flower and jade, how dare you take advantage of the danger of others and buy it with 1,000 yuan without conscience?" ”

Liu Tong actually didn't know how much 1,000 money was, but Liu Tong didn't look like a good person when he looked at Chen Hu, he must be a black-hearted person, so he said so.

"Childe, you can't say that, this price is not low, how can people be worth it now? If it weren't for the good looks of the red carp, I wouldn't have given her money to bury her father. ”

In the peace period of the Han Dynasty, a stone of grain was worth 100 yuan, and 1,000 yuan was the price of 300 catties of grain in later generations.

But the actual situation is that in this era of natural and man-made disasters, people are like mustard, and a large number of people sell their sons and daughters for a few hundred dollars. And the price of grain has already skyrocketed, and some people can sell their parents and wives for 300 catties of grain, not to mention their children.

Liu Tong handed the waist card in his hand to Chen Hu, Chen Hu glanced at it, Liu Tong retracted it and said: "The red carp is my sister, I won't sell it, I'll send you money tomorrow!" As he spoke, he tore up the contract in his hand and threw it on the ground.

Chen Hu wanted to stop it but it was too late, he wanted to say that he was going to sue the official, but seeing that Liu Tong's face was not good, he didn't dare to say it, so he said: "Red carp is your sister, how can I lose money in my tooth shop, and I have to redeem it for 1,500 yuan." ”

Liu Tong had no concept of money, and waved his hand like a fly: "I'm Luo Tong, the eldest brother of the red carp, and I just came back from other places, you don't talk to me about it, get out!" ”

Chen Hu is also a person with a bit of power, but he is not lacking in knowledge, although he doesn't know which big man the waist card is, but he doesn't dare to provoke this rich and noble son. Gray and walked away with the guy.

More than a dozen people had already gathered at the door of the red carp, and an old man in his sixties came over, pointed at Liu Tong and said: "You Ah Lang, offend Chen Yaren, how will the red carp repay its debts, and how will the red carp live in the future!" Ahem......"

Seeing the old man coughing, the red carp quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, called the third grandfather, and stepped forward to help him.

Liu Tong looked at the old man and said, "Don't worry about it, I will be responsible for her, you let the red carp sell yourself, what kind of elder is it!" ”

The old man's whole body trembled after hearing this, and he pointed at Liu Tong, wanting to be angry. Liu Tong pointed at him and said, "Don't be verbose, if it weren't for your age, I would have beaten you a long time ago." ”

The old man was so angry for a while that he spoke, "Okay, you're responsible!" As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and walked away.

After the villagers dispersed, the red carp kept wiping his tears, Liu Tong just exerted his strength, the wound hurt, the red carp saw Liu Tong's expression in pain, and he couldn't care about his own thoughts, so he hurriedly came over to check Liu Tong's wound, "Childe, you still have to go to the medicine hall for this injury, but the red carp is useless, and there is no money to give Childe medicine." As he spoke, he picked up Liu Tong and went back to the house.

Liu Tong looked at the wound and knew that the wound was a little inflamed, and it was not a way to go on like this. Liu Tong took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the red carp, "Red carp, you go and sell this jade pendant, pay back the money from the tooth shop, and buy me some medicine." ”

The red carp knew that the jade pendant was precious, and it was Liu Tong's personal belonging, so he refused to accept it. Liu Tong pretended to be angry and said: "Do you want me to die of illness, do you want to sell myself and leave me with no one to take care of?" ”

"No, no." The red carp hurriedly took the jade pendant.

"Go ahead, buy some more rice and meat, I'm hungry again." Liu Tong patted the back of the red carp's hand, the red carp's face turned red, and he got up and left.

Liu Tong looked at the back of the red carp leaving, and sighed for a while, the ancient bottom, the people in troubled times, the fate is tragic.

Liu Tong was born in a wealthy family in his previous life, his parents were judges in the city court, his grandparents were businessmen, and his grandparents were retired cadres at the department level. He had ever been in such a situation, and he was full of emotion for a while. Soon he fell asleep again.

Liu Tong woke up in the evening, and as soon as he woke up, he smelled a smell of medicine at the door, and at the same time, the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen. Liu Tong got up and came to the kitchen, and saw that the red carp was frying meat, and there was half a bowl of lean meat in the pot, "Red carp, this meat is too little, right?" Put more. ”

"Childe, I bought so much, it's precious."

"You girl, why are you so stingy! Sold the jade, right? That's enough for us to eat for a year. Although Liu Tong doesn't have to use his own money in life, he also knows that this piece of jade is worth a lot of money, in his own time, it cost hundreds of thousands, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was worthless, and it was enough to eat and drink for a long time if it was sold at a low price.

The red carp looked at Liu Tong in surprise and said: "Chen Yaren said, this piece of jade is not worth much, I saw that I was pitiful, so I made a price of 3,000 yuan, and after deducting 1,500 yuan, I went to the medicine hall to buy you medicine for ten days, and there was 800 yuan left." I bought today's rice meat, and I'll help you put the rest of the money next to your pillow. ”

"Why are you still dealing with Chen Hu? Do you remember to eat? Liu Tong reached out and patted the head of the red carp and said, "What? You bought today's rice meat? Why not buy more? ”

"It's not good for me to use Childe's money anymore, Childe bought me, I will serve Childe well, and I will go fishing tomorrow."

Paying you back is considered to have bought you? Liu Tong was speechless after hearing this, and sat down sullenly. When he thought of Chen Hu being so black-hearted, his heart became angry.
