The road is not lonely, except for Anyangli, in other surrounding areas, the people of the township are driving ox carts to Chang'an, and they are all selling their children for food and clothing.

Some people were sobbing, and some of the ox carts were as silent as the Lin family's side, looking ahead and not knowing what they saw in their eyes, seeing that these people all had a common purpose, Lin Fan suddenly felt that all this was nothing, it was too normal.

It's very strange for one person to do it, it's very strange for two people to do it, it's ******** for multiple people to do it, people are often like this, they are always not so sad about normal things, Lin Fan would have been in a better mood after seeing this normal thing, but when he saw Xiaoxue's closed eyes, tears slid down, and his heart was like a knife!

Try to look as far away as possible and divert his attention, Lin Fan didn't want the last sadness to turn into tears, his eyes fell on an ox cart, and the ox cart also made a rutting sound like other ox carts, but Lin Fan only heard the scolding sound from there.

"What are you crying about, if you don't sell it, how can your family have food to eat, how can you have clothes to wear, you look at the surrounding areas, what kind of fields have dried up, and what kind of food can such fields produce? I know how to cry and cry all day long, open my eyes and take a good look around, do other people's children cry like you, aren't they going to be sold too・・・・・・"

The little girl's cry on the ox cart gradually turned into silent sobbing, but even so, the scolding woman was not satisfied, thinking that she could sell it for a good price with a sad face, she wanted to slap the little girl hard, but after thinking about it, it would be even less valuable if it was broken, and put down her raised hand again.

The big man driving the ox cart ignored the mother and daughter behind him, Lin Fan was a little suspicious that this girl was their own child, and he was treated like this, it was a crime to sell a woman to survive, and he still treated his daughter like this, is his conscience really acceptable?

Lin Fan sighed secretly and retracted his gaze, although his side was quieter, the atmosphere was still relatively good, he looked at Xiaoxue and found that she was asleep, so Lin Fan hugged her tighter and wiped the tears on her face with his sleeve.

The ox cart has approached Chang'an, and it stopped a hundred meters in front of the Anhua Gate, and the ox cart cannot enter the capital, which is an iron law, and no one can violate it.

Mother took Xiaoxue and woke her up gently, Xiaoxue woke up and found that she had arrived at the city gate, her nose was sour and she didn't cry, she knew that this was fate, since she couldn't change it, she had to accept her fate and move forward, she didn't want her relatives around her to be more sad.

"Let's go, hurry up and choose a good family, if you go late, you will be chosen by others, brother, hurry up!"

Maybe Xiaoxue hadn't slept on the road just now, she must have figured it out, otherwise she wouldn't be so optimistic now, Lin Fan's mood suddenly brightened up in Xiaoxue's smile, but in an instant, looking at Xiaoxue's bouncing back, his nose couldn't help but sour again.

Along the way, Xiaoxue held Lin Fan and her mother's hands tightly, as if she was worried that if she let go, the two closest relatives around her would leave her, and once she was a slave in the future, I am afraid that it would be difficult to enjoy such a day, Xiaoxue should enjoy this short time.

There are more or less several children standing at the door of the big family, some are choosing at the door of the house, and some are only children and adults around them at the door, they are waiting for the owner to come out.

Looking at such a scene, Lin Fan suddenly felt that it was the same as buying vegetables in the market, when did it start, and people became a commodity!

Xiao Xue's face returned to her old smile, but Lin Fan always felt that her smile was a little reluctant, and the forced smile might be like Xiao Xue.

Xiaoxue was not satisfied with the selection of several families, and Lin Fan was not satisfied, since he couldn't save this family, he had to find a kind family for Xiaoxue, the kind that would have the opportunity to go home in the future, you can ask a few rich families, and when Lin Fan made this request, they directly refused.

When they came to Anhua Street, Lin Fan and others had asked no less than 20 families, and they were all very satisfied with Xiaoxue, the only thing they were not satisfied with was Lin Fan's request to go home to visit relatives every month, most of them thought that since they were sold to them, Xiaoxue should be their family's people, life is their family's people, and death is their family's ghost.

Mother has long had the intention of compromise, but Lin Fan must firmly believe this, otherwise he will let himself be sold, but his mother disagreed, so they found dozens of families without success, and most of the families who came with them in the morning sold their children, exchanged the money for food and clothing, and were on their way home.

At noon, they came to the door of a cloth business, and after asking the reason, the shopkeeper looked at Xiaoxue left and right, and readily agreed.

"There is a premise, my sister must go home once a month, five days at a time, ・・・・・・"

"Get out!"

Before Lin Fan's request was finished, the shopkeeper began to drive people away like other people, and when Lin Fan was frowning, a voice came from behind him.

"Come and I'll take a look."

The one who spoke was an extremely ugly man about the same age as his father, with two scars about five centimeters long on the left and right sides of his face, which made the original old face even more ugly, this face was completely expressionless, no surprise, no joy, no expression, and the first feeling it gave people was that of a living dead.

Seeing this person for the first time, Lin Fan and Xiaoxue were startled, Xiaoxue was so frightened that she hid behind Lin Fan and didn't dare to look at that person, Lin Fan was quite bold, he was a little frightened at first sight, and he was relatively calm at second sight.

"You already know what I just said?"

The man nodded, unable to make out any expression on his face.

The mother stepped forward happily and said happily: "Really? So how many do you come up with? ”

The man said indifferently: "A certain family is not buying your daughter... A certain inn is in need of manpower, I don't know if your two children can be interested in being partners, a monthly salary of 500 Wen, including food." ”

"Willing, willing, willing・・・・・・" Before Lin Fan and Xiaoxue could agree, their mother nodded excitedly and agreed, nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice.

After a while, Xiaoxue reacted, hugged Lin Fan and Lin Mu tightly with joy, and shouted in her mouth, "Xiaoxue, don't be sold, don't be sold..."

Lin Fan smiled, he felt a burst of relief, the stuffiness that had been pressed in his heart for the past few days disappeared without a trace, looking at the back of the man walking into the inn, and secretly swore that this kindness would be repaid in the future.

After settling Lin Fan and Xiaoxue down, her mother hurried out of the city with a smile, and her father was still waiting anxiously outside the city, and she couldn't wait to tell her father the good news immediately.

After listening to his mother's explanation, his father outside the city looked at the sky excitedly and sighed: "This is God helping our Lin family・・・・・・"
