Chapter 45: The Mysterious Fragrance Wood (2)

Everything in the market was available, and I had the sacrificial animals and grain delivered directly to the house. The rest of the miscellaneous items were all hung on Wuxie's body.

"Innocent."

"Huh?"

"Why are you talking so well now?" I hung the last vanilla-filled bag around Innocent's neck. As soon as Innocence heard my words, his smile disappeared in an instant. He turned his head and replied sullenly: "I could have spoken, but I didn't want to say it before, and then I forgot about it." ”

Although I had doubts before, I was still shocked to hear him admit it himself: "You can speak?" I thought you were raised by wolves, and you only made wolf noises. ”

"I would have been four or five years old when I was thrown into the mountains."

"What?! Do you remember, what is your name? Where do you live? Who are the parents? And who threw it into the mountains? ”

Innocent's clear eyes were instantly covered with a gray veil, and he bit his lower lip and shook his head: "I don't remember, and I don't want to remember." I'm innocent, I'm innocent, nothing else matters. ”

"Okay, it's better to forget." I raised my hand and touched my innocent curly hair. At this time, a person suddenly rushed from my left hand, regardless of the head-on, crashed into me, I saw that I was about to wrestle, hurriedly supported the ground with my hand, but I didn't expect that the person was too strong to hold it at all, his hands rubbed the ground and slipped out more than a foot, and suddenly the skin was worn out, and the gravel particles in one hand were pressed.

After the man had rammed into me, he got up in a panic, staggered twice and ran forward as hard as he could.

Seeing that I fell to the ground, he threw off his belongings, pulled out his legs, and rushed forward.

The man's feet were innocent, and before he could run a few steps, he grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him to the ground.

"Don't hit him!" Seeing that Innocent was sitting on the man and raising his fist to greet him, I hurriedly stopped him with a loud shout.

"Dog, I hit my noblewoman's carriage and want to run!" A few fur-clad servants appeared out of nowhere, and they punched and kicked the people on the ground.

I saw that the man was huddled on the ground with his head in his hands, and he was very pitiful, so I hurriedly ran up to persuade him: "A few little brothers put out the fire, and beat people to death at the end of the year, and they will be unlucky next year." ”

"Little brother, don't get into trouble! This untouchable man has rammed my noblewoman's carriage and frightened her, and we should have killed him. ”

It was not uncommon for nobles to instruct their servants to kill a common man, so at this moment most of the pedestrians on the street turned a blind eye, and only a few onlookers showed pity on their faces, but they did not dare to say more, for fear of getting into trouble.

I took one of the kind-faced servants and walked to the side, took three coins from my waist and handed them to him: "My master asked me to come out and pick a labor to buy it." Don't beat him to death, how about selling him to me? ”

The man looked at me and pinned the money into the strap around his waist: "Hmph, you kid can do things." After he finished speaking, he turned around slowly, and shouted at several other people: "Go, go, don't miss the time when the noble girl enters the palace!" ”

"The who doesn't have long eyes, you're cheap!" The others kicked the man a few more times before scolding and leaving.

"Innocent, you don't pull the dots. Quick, help me lift him up! "I walked over and tried to help the people on the ground up, but my strength was too small to use my strength.

"What do you help him do? Who let him run so fast just now and hit you, and he deserved to be killed! Innocent ignored me completely, walked over and picked up the things that had been thrown on the ground one by one, and then walked up to me and said, "Let's go, it's going to be dark no matter how late it is, let's go hunt the rabbits!" ”

Innocent treats people coldly, and the only difference between dying an irrelevant person and dying a rabbit may be that the former can't eat it, and the latter can still eat it.

"I can't die without help. You help me get him up first, and I'll make you something to eat at night, which will be better than a rabbit." Besides, so many people starved to death outside the city, and perhaps the rabbits in the forest to the west had already been caught, and we could not hunt them if we went. ”

"Forget it, forget it, you always have a point."

At this time, several people who were originally standing next to them also gathered around, and a little girl in Tsing Yi took out a water bag and fed a few mouthfuls of water to the man on the ground. The man vomited a mouthful of blood and woke up faintly.

"Big brother, why are those people beating you?" The little girl in Tsing Yi asked.

"I want to beg the nobleman to buy me a little spice, so that my family can have food for the winter, and I don't want to crash the carriage."

"You are really caught in the evil wind, where are the spices of your rotten wood, and you dare to stop the carriage of the Baili doctor's family." A white-bearded old man wiped the blood from the corner of the man's mouth with his cuff and sighed.

Doctor Baili? This is an old acquaintance. I heard Wu Feng say that the main room of Dr. Baili is the sister of the monarch, and his concubine is the daughter-in-law of the monarch. This man dared to stop his carriage, and it was indeed dead.

"Uncle, do you know him?" I asked.

"He's been wandering the streets for more than a month, and he's taken a few broken branches and said they're spices. I haven't used the old spices, but I know a little bit about living to this age. Spices, that is a precious thing that only exists in the southern Chu country, our mountains here, not long. But this kid didn't believe it, but he didn't say that he met a noble man on the road a month ago, saying that these rotten pieces of wood in his hand were spices that were worth more than a thousand gold, and he had to keep them well. If it sells well, you can build a room. Do you think it's funny? The noble man played tricks on him, the stupid boy took it seriously. ”

"I don't want to build a house. It's just that there is really no food to put in the pot at home, and there are no wild vegetables in the field, and the two children are already hungry. However, I didn't lie, this wood burns with real incense! ”

"You take out the wood and I'll take a look, if it's really fragrant wood, I'll buy it, how about it?" I have five coins left in my purse, and if I exchange them for some cheap corn, I can barely last a month.

As soon as the man heard that I was going to buy his wood, he pulled out a few inconspicuous branches from his bosom: "Look, little brother, this is burning with real incense!" ”

I smiled and took it, put it under my nose and smelled it, except for the original green smell of the trees, there was really nothing special. Hey, I don't know which nobleman made a joke that day, and he almost killed a person today.

"It smells a little bit, I bought it, five coins is good?" I took out the money and put it in his hand, "I can't take out any more, so let's go buy something to eat while it's still dark!" ”

"Enough, enough, thank you, little brother! Selling melons, I said I didn't lie to anyone, the noble man raised his eyebrows, with a strange face, he said that it was worth it, it was really valuable. The man took my money and smiled from ear to ear, as if all the wounds on his body were healed at once.

"There are so many fools in this world, black-faced boy, you bought his rotten wood, and it's hard to explain to your head of the family when you go back!" The old man who sold the fabric looked at me, shook his head, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Scattered, dispersed!" Wuxian shouted at everyone, and then said to the man on the ground: "Hey, this big brother, you take the money and leave quickly!" ”

The man held his waist and thanked him incessantly. I grabbed a handful of twigs and watched him limp away.
