Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This county seat is not big, if it is in the rich area of the Central Plains, such a county can only barely be regarded as a town, this small city between the mountains is not a north-south traffic artery, it is not much to travel from other places, the most lively time in the county is the temple fair twice a month.
Every day, the people of all ethnic groups in the four fields and eight towns will rush to the town with all kinds of mountain goods, such as mushrooms, wild fruits, game, bamboo mats and bamboo baskets.
Of course, there are also some foreign merchants who bring cloth, salt, wine, rouge, gouache, ornaments and other items to this small city, exchange some game and mountain delicacies with local mountain people, and then transport them to other places to make a difference.
There are two small inns in the town, mainly for the merchants who have not had time to rush back to the mountain people and other places that day, and the conditions are very simple.
Aunt Ma usually does not "do business" in the city, although the government in this kind of place is not as majestic as the government in the Central Plains, but in the eyes of these small people, it is still very deterrent, and it is more risky to commit crimes here.
However, Xue Shuiwu's mother and daughter have such good conditions, it would be a pity if they were sold to the mountain people as fertility tools, and they always had to be sold to the rich or ** to make a good price.
When Aunt Ma arrived in the town, she first asked for a room in a small inn, and said to Xue Shuiwu: "Little lady, there are always some scoundrels in this county who oppress the good, you are as beautiful as a flower, don't walk around."
Auntie first settled you here, and went to a relative's house in the city, one to visit relatives, and the other to ask them to help you contact the business gang, so as to take you to Guizhou Road, otherwise you are such a delicate little lady, it is impossible for Mrs. to travel peacefully. ”
Xue Shuiwu was grateful, and thanked her again and again, Aunt Ma smiled slightly, and then turned around and left the room, Xue Shuiwu put down her daughter, just poured a glass of water, and heard a "click" sound, and hurriedly rushed out to pull the door, and the door exposed a palm-wide gap that could no longer be opened, and it was locked outside.
Xue Shuiwu suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart, she shouted a few words "Aunt Ma", did not hear Aunt Ma's echo, but invited a few guests who stayed in the hotel, and the guests saw a beautiful woman through the crack in the door, one by one, with a very strange look.
Xue Shuiwu was scared when he saw this, and he didn't dare to speak out anymore, but the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger: "It can't be that you have encountered human traffickers, right?" Thinking about Aunt Ma's kind and simple appearance, Xue Shuiwu didn't trust her own judgment, but the current strange situation was difficult to reassure.
Le Yao had lost interest in peek-a-boo, and pouted to Xue Shuiwu: "Mother, why hasn't Brother Xiaotian found us yet." ”
Xue Shuiwu gently held her in her arms, tears rolling in her eyes, she knew that Ye Xiaotian would never appear in front of her. If she could smoothly bring Le Yao to Guizhou and hand it over to the person who should be handed over, maybe what Ye Xiaotian left in her heart was just a regret from the past, but now she misses that man more than ever.

After Aunt Ma left the inn, she walked around the city excitedly, she rarely committed crimes in the county, and there was no familiar person here who could help her "sell the stolen goods", but she was also half a local, and she probably knew who was rich.
Aunt Ma's idea is to find a rich and noble family first, such a person can afford the most money, if it doesn't work, then go to **, but the ** here is just a gathering place for wild prostitutes and warblers, and they are dedicated to earning money from the hard haha, I am afraid that it will not come up with a good price that makes people feel ideal.
Aunt Ma was hurrying around the county, not noticing that a figure was following her from beginning to end......
Guan Er is in his early fifties this year, and his sparse head is mostly white, so he pulls a bun and inserts a locust hairpin. He was wearing a shabby kudzu cloth shirt, squatting in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, with a sack of walnuts, a sack of chestnuts, persimmons, red dates and other things in front of him.
Because of the heat, he hugged his robe, revealing a pair of thin hairy legs under the robe, and the whole person squatted there, like a big horse monkey. Whenever a woman with a bit of posture passed in front of him, he stared straight at people, looking at his chest and back at his buttocks, his eyes were like hooks, and his head swung from left to right, from right to left......
He is a collector of mountain goods, and collecting mountain goods is a chore, and even if he transports them outside the mountain, he can't make much money, so he is a slightly wealthy but not very rich person.
The market was chaotic, the stalls were not neatly arranged, and there were no rules for pedestrians to walk, so the hustle and bustle was very chaotic, and even in this case, Guan Er's eyes could still accurately chase a swaying ass and gradually move away, until his gaze was as deep as a philosopher.
Guan Er used to be very poor, he was just a young man of the shopkeeper Li who collected dry goods, and when he became an old man from a young man, he still didn't have much money, and he didn't have money to marry a mother-in-law.
The only time he tasted the taste of being a man in his life was more than 20 years ago, when he grabbed the money he had saved for a long time, climbed the door of a half-closed kiln sister, handed over the sweaty 20 yuan, and was pulled into the house by the woman like a child, in exchange for that trembling.
It was really just a trembling, just lying on the white flower's body, and before he could move a few times, he was already discharged. After sobering up, Guan Er suddenly felt a little distressed about the money, but sometimes he felt that the feeling of bliss was worth it.
He hasn't touched a woman since, and can only survive by that dream-like memory. Shopkeeper Li has always been so stingy, he has always been penniless, until not long ago, Shopkeeper Li tripped in a col on a rainy day, hit his head heavily on the stone, and died.
The shopkeeper died, and for the first time he had the courage to do a bad thing, swallowing up the shopkeeper's goods and money, and became the shopkeeper himself, and from that day on, his dream was no longer just to have enough to eat, but to have a woman of his own.
Guan Er has always dreamed of doing business a few more times, and he can save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law, maybe ugly, older, and married, but after all, she is a woman. It's just that he didn't expect that day to come so quickly, so that many years later, when he looked back on that day, he still insisted that the man who laughed badly was an angel sent by God.
Another fat buttocks swayed in front of him, Guan Er's eyes were like feet stuck in the mire, and when he couldn't pull them out, suddenly a young man with a mouth as delicate as a woman stood in front of him and cut off his sight.
He remembered that he frowned unhappily at the time and asked, "Are you buying mountain goods or selling mountain goods?" ”
The young man smiled like a blessing and said to him, "Shopkeeper, I don't buy anything, but I want to sell something." ”
The young man bent down and whispered, "There is a woman, do you want it?" ”

Many years later, when Aunt Ma held the three girls of her six-boy family on her lap, opened her mouth with all her teeth lost, and talked about her deceased husband, she always couldn't help but think of a young man who she would never forget.
She vaguely remembered that the young man had a mouth that was more delicate than a girl, and he laughed badly, but he was not at all disgusting.
But she will never know, in fact, after that, she did not know the name of the big man she had heard once, it was the boy she had once met, and that boy had only made a cameo appearance as a human trafficker once in his life, and she was the one who sold her.
"If the land is not familiar, the business is not good."
Aunt Ma, who had hit the wall several times in a row, frowned and thought, this should be in a place she is familiar with, she knows very well who has money and who lacks women, and she will come to the door directly, and this business will be done, but although she has been to this county a few times, she only came to the market, and she did not know the shape of the city, so that the blind people collided blindly.
But think about the handsome little lady who is so tender that she can't pinch out of the water, if she finds a good family in this county, it will be at least four or five times higher than the price of selling it in the mountains, and she feels that it is worth the hard work, Aunt Ma is thinking about whether to go to some rich man's house to ask, and someone suddenly called her behind: "Auntie, this aunt, please stay." ”
Aunt Ma turned around and saw a young man with a very delicate mouth, who hurried over, looking very honest, but when she saw it, her little face was actually a little red. The young man asked shyly, "Auntie, are you ...... Is there a niece daughter who wants to get married? ”
Aunt Ma listened to his foreign accent, looked at his shabby clothes, and his shoes that had taken off the thread to expose his two toes, and frowned: "What, do you want to please a mother-in-law?" Can you afford to marry a mother-in-law? ”
"No, no, no!" The young man hurriedly shook his hand in a panic, his face turned even redder with embarrassment, he rubbed his hands crampedly, looked at his toes, and said, "The kid is just a long-term worker, where can he afford to marry a mother-in-law, right...... It's our master who wants to take a concubine......"
Aunt Ma suddenly realized, but looking at his poor and sour appearance, she thought that his owner must be a very mean person, but she didn't know whether she was willing to spend money to buy a woman, so she said: "Your lord wants to take a concubine?" Let me tell you, my niece is very handsome, and the price is not cheap. ”
The young man said in a whisper: "Our lord has money, auntie, you can rest assured, he just heard that auntie has a handsome niece daughter to say goodbye, so let me come to aunt, I ...... I can't tell you clearly, auntie, you better tell our master. ”
This young man is really honest, he stammered like this, his face was red, his forehead seemed to be sweating urgently, and he rolled up his sleeves from time to time to wipe his sweat. Aunt Ma laughed: "Done!" Then I'll go with you. ”
Aunt Ma was put into a sack when she went, and then she was loaded into a donkey cart with walnuts and hawthorns, and left the county seat "squeak", and when she was released again, she became Guan Er's wife, and it was not until she was pregnant that she was able to get out of the thatched house and know where she went.
