Everyone in the Ma family shop in another position of confrontation, that Ma Jin finally defeated, first of all, the other party is overwhelming, helping each other, and secondly, he really wants to do this big business, this batch of goods in the hands of the long time, the goods must be circulated in order to make a profit, otherwise it is painful to raise them in vain.

Therefore, the remaining children of the last are still according to each person two taels of 5 silver to let Huangshi they wrap people round, this time plus the front of the 8 small guys and Yahuan, a total of 64 taels of silver in Huangshi, Huangshi signaled Zhou Mingrui to come forward to pay the bill, so Zhou Mingrui took out a few silver strips of 70 taels of silver from the chain around his waist and handed them to Ma Jin, that Ma Jin let Ah Xiu go to the back hall to take the nickname, and weighed and cut it up in the store, back and forth several times, and only after the most Lu did he get the amount.

Mu Dexian was about to bow to Na Ma Jin, and then he was about to leave, but he heard his master say, "There is something in your residence that needs to be packed, go quickly, we will wait for you here." It turned out that Huang Shi saw these children, their clothes were tattered, and their hands were empty, and he was afraid that there were other items to be taken from their residence, so he asked this question.

Those children all shook their heads, obviously everything they had before belonged to Ma Ye, but Huang Shi saw that one of the many children had a pockmarked face, a large head, and a scar on his face who was distressed and hesitant, so he looked at him, and the child also happened to see Huang Shi noticing him, so he said timidly, "Go back to the master, can the little one go for a while?"

"Of course, you can go, we will all be waiting for you here", Huang Shi smiled slightly after speaking, and motioned for him to go.

The people sat and waited in the shop for a while, and soon when they saw the little boy running back panting, Huang Shi saw that he was not carrying anything in his hand, so he asked him, "Have you packed up?"

"Thank you, sir, the little ones have been packed up." The little boy looked grateful and bowed to Yellowstone.

……

Huang Shi and Mu Dexian walked out of the Ma family's shop, a group of children followed, and Zhou Mingrui was the last, "Deid, this time the children bought more than expected, Mingrui's home is estimated to be unable to accommodate so many people, I want to think about it, those few bead girls still have to be placed in your home to be suitable, your two east wings can let a few children help clean up." Originally, he was the only local aboriginal who could communicate with Huangshi in official dialect, but unfortunately his local accent was too heavy, and there was still a big difference between the official dialect and Huangshi's modern Mandarin, so Huangshi felt that it would be more convenient to communicate with him directly in Fuzhou dialect.

"Master's order, the disciple will do it when he goes back", Mu Dexian turned sideways and replied to Huangshi, "Master, what the disciple doesn't understand is why he wants to buy so many children this time?"

"Be idle, think about it, if this world is not a famine, there are people who are willing to separate their flesh and blood"? Huang Shi shook his head and said, "These lowly families who sell children will not do this unless it is very rare, they are estimated to reduce the burden on the family, and second, they are estimated to be just to give the children a chance to live." Huang Shi couldn't help but think of those begging children in modern society, except for some who were abducted and sold by bad people, most of the other begging children were brought out by their biological parents. So as far as children are concerned, modern society, compared to the so-called Qingping and prosperous times of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties that are usually touted by ancient fans, that is the real life in heaven, at least there is no personal attachment.

Speaking of this, I felt a little heavy, so I could only continue, "These children are now with the master, and they are also their creation, at least they can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing."

Nodding, Huang Shi said, "That's the case, we now have spare power, and we can naturally help if we can, we bought them, one is counting on them to have a little way to live, and the other is also hoping to cultivate people for a hundred years for the sect", indeed according to the current Ming Dynasty and modern price comparison, just now he just spent 7680 yuan to buy these 20 children, human life can be described as cheap and tight.

Everyone walked on the way home, passing in front of a steamed bun shop, the fragrance of those steamed buns is estimated to cause the children who followed silently behind a burst of stomach and intestines, and the nose involuntarily inhaled.

The children thought that the old man was going to be angry or something, and they were a little silent, but when they saw the big man who was the leader, they called the strong man behind him to step forward, "Mingrui, you go to that steamed bun shop, and buy two big meat buns for each child, Mingrui, you can also buy two for yourself."

Zhou Mingrui, who was waiting, said yes in front of the bun shop, and asked them to prepare the quantity, Huang Shi asked these children to line up one by one to get two buns, and he and Mu Dexian wore the clothes of a scholar so that they didn't have to participate in the middle, and the environment of this place was indeed too bad for people's appetite.

Those children stepped forward one by one according to the words, some children may be hungry and panicked, and when they saw that there was food, they didn't care about anything else, grabbed the bun with both hands, grabbed the corner of the bun, and sent it to the mouth, ate too quickly, the meat filling was a little hot, and they didn't chew a few times, and swallowed it, but some of them choked where, and the people next to him patted him, and he swallowed it hard, and some of the children ate Sven, and slowly ate one bite at a time, while shedding tears.

Huang Shi looked at them quietly, and he was also observing them. But when he saw the pock-faced radish head just now, he hesitated there and didn't start eating, as if he was still struggling in his heart, so he lined up everyone and walked up to him, "What's wrong with you, why don't you eat?"

"Back to the master's words", the little boy knelt down with a "pass", his face seemed to have made up his mind, "The master is a good person, the little one begs the master to buy Sister A Wen, Sister A Wen She is seriously ill, and the master didn't let people treat her, please let the master be kind again and save Sister A Wen."

"Oh", Huang Shi saw that the children around him also stopped eating steamed buns, and they all looked at him pitifully, so he said to the little boy, "You get up first, what's your name"?

"The little one is called Ning Zhiyuan", the little child was held up by Huang Shi and stood up.
