With the increase in the number of victims in the north, there are more and more grain merchants hoarding grain, so that many people have begun to rush to buy food, and many medicinal herb merchants have also begun to hoard medicinal materials.

However, the silver taels obtained by selling sons and daughters are only enough to buy a bag of coarse grain, which shows how cheap human life is in the face of disasters.

But these have not yet reached Honghu County, and naturally they will not reach small villages like Yangliu Village.

"Daughter-in-law, you can take the child and go."

"I can't stand it, I can't drag you down."

The lame man, though dark-skinned, could still tell he was feverish.

"No, we're a family, I can't just leave you behind, or the children will ask me where their father is when they grow up, what should I say?" The young woman wept and shook her head.

"Ahem!"

The man coughed, as if he was about to cough out the lobes of his lungs, and said with difficulty: "Taking me is dragging you down, if I can survive, I will definitely go to Yangliu Village to find you." ”

"Are you in charge of the house treating me as an ignorant little baby? Don't you know how far it is from Yangliu Village? ”

"Our mothers are on the road, if we encounter a kidnapper, where can we escape, why do we have the life to go to Yangliu Village? Even for the sake of my children, you can't give up! ”

The young woman was crying very sadly, and her eyes had a look of despair.

If the man really can't walk, is there any other way for her to go but to take the children into slavery?

"Stop."

A man's voice came from inside a carriage, it was Master Fang, who was looking for new business opportunities everywhere.

Lifting the curtain, I looked at a family of four sitting on the side of the road, and knew that it was the poor people fleeing there without asking.

"Are you from Yangliu Village?" Master Fang asked after looking at it.

"My mother's family is from Yangliu Village, who is this master?" The young woman wiped away her tears and looked at Master Fang suspiciously.

Master Fang, who has never been ostentatious, only has one carriage to travel, and several guards are all on horseback.

The carriage looks very rustic, but how can it be used as an escort, how can it be an ordinary person?

"Do you know Willow Bud?" Master Fang didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Having been in business for many years, Master Fang is habitually defensive, and meddling in things today is no longer in line with his style.

"Willow Bud?"

The young woman sat down for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Does this old man recognize my niece?" ”

"Your niece? Then you should know how many people there are in their family, and what are they called, right? ”

Master Fang asked again, and motioned to the guards on the side to bring a pot of water and a bag of snacks to the young woman's family.

The young woman kowtowed and thanked her, these foods are life-saving.

"You eat first, we have met a nobleman, and God can't bear to let our family be separated."

"Bao'er, you also eat a piece, and the rest of the mother will take it first, and then eat it when you are hungry."

The young woman gave the dim sum to her husband and son, and she fed the little girl a few sips of water, and drank several sips of it herself before taking out a piece of dim sum and sharing it with the little girl.

It's not that young women are patriarchal, but that the little girl doesn't have much snacks, and she and the child can save some by eating a piece, and when the child is hungry, there is also a cushion to eat.

After eating, the young woman looked at Master Fang, thanked him again, and replied: "I have been away from home for seven years, and Liu Ya is my third brother's child. Liu Ya was only four or five years old when I left, and there were eight brothers and sisters in my family......"

The young woman did not hide the situation at home, and in her opinion, the other party's conditions would not be for the farmer, but maybe she would help them if she knew Liu Ya.

As for how Master Fang knew Liu Ya, the young woman was also puzzled in her heart, just because Liu Ya had an adventure.

"My name is Liu Lan, if I hadn't suffered and didn't want the children to sell themselves as slaves, maybe I wouldn't have gone back to my parents' house in this life."

Young woman, no, Liu Lan said bitterly.

Master Fang didn't know much about Liu Ya's family, and when he cooperated with Liu Ya, he was only surprised that Liu Ya had a little girl who came out to do business, but he didn't know that there were still a large number of relatives.

"I'm just going north, so I'll give you a ride."

Master Fang didn't find a suitable new deal, and just happened to meet Liu Lan, but he remembered what Liu Ya had said to him, and felt that it was okay to go to Honghu County.

Putting down the car curtain, Master Fang smiled and said, "Little girl, you owe me a big favor this time, look how embarrassed you are to frame me again!" ”

Liu Ya, who was far away in Yangliu Village, sneezed, not knowing that Master Fang had not received her letter, and he was already planning to come to her, and he had caused her a lot of trouble by the way.

Recently, the three-room life has been good, which has led the whole village to have hope, and the people in the old house have been invisibly isolated by the villagers.

Mrs. Liu had nowhere to visit the door, so she could only go to the village to chat with the old people who couldn't do work to pass the time.

"What are you looking for that girl for?" Mrs. Liu pulled her face and was reluctant to talk.

"Isn't this a noble person, if you want to pay a high price for our cabbage, let's come to Liu Ya to discuss it and see if she can give it a little increase, it's not easy for anyone to live, isn't it?"

The person asking for directions smiled and rubbed his hands, his face full of joy.

Mrs. Liu was happy when she heard it, someone blocked Liu Ya, and she was happy to watch the play.

"I know the way, I'll take you."

Mrs. Liu walked quickly, and asked the reason on the way.

After learning that Liu Ya had already given the deposit and signed the compensation contract, she pretended to be kind and said: "But I'm afraid that you have come here for nothing, and that girl is so stubborn, it's strange that you can give more money." ”

"What then? Just watching others earn this money? "Ask the passer-by unwillingly.

"It's not for nothing, it's not your family who signed the contract with that girl. If she doesn't want to, you guys will come over and make trouble together, and she can still pretend to be deaf and don't know? ”

A vicious look flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes, and she whispered to the passer-by for advice.

The road to the third room was not far, and Mrs. Liu also wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by Qi Tiehan, and only let the vegetable farmer enter the yard.

“…… You see, it's not that I want to break the contract, but a pound of cabbage is expensive, and that's a lot of silver. Or, are you going to give it a little up? I'll just make less. ”

After the vegetable farmer said that someone came to the door to collect cabbage at a high price, he said something that made Liu Ya angry in a consultative tone.

"It's very clear in the contract that it's your business if you want to sell at a high price, and I'll only act according to the contract here. It's okay to break the contract, send me the compensation, I don't have to point to your cabbage to make money. ”

Liu Ya opened her mouth coldly, she didn't need to give a smile to those who didn't keep their promises.

"No, you let you plant the cabbage, and now you are asking you to give some silver, and you don't say that I won't sell it, why don't you understand this girl? Why don't you let your family come over and talk about it? ”

The vegetable farmer didn't want to give up, he wanted to make more money, but he didn't want to lose money to Liu Ya.

"I can call the shots in this matter, just by what you do, I'm afraid that your cabbage is black-hearted, don't do it."

Liu Ya was too lazy to waste time and shouted: "Bell, send off!" ”

The bell stepped forward, blocked the vegetable farmer who was still talking, and said impatiently: "Do you go out by yourself, or do you want to be thrown out?" ”

Seeing that Liu Ya was really non-negotiable, the vegetable farmer said angrily: "Hmph! It's great to have two stinky money, huh? There are times when you regret it. ”

The bell sent people to the second gate, and Qi Tiehan was waiting to send people out.

"Ya'er, are you really okay?" Liu Ye said worriedly: "Why are there still people who collect cabbage at a high price?" It's not for our family, is it? ”

"Isn't my eldest cousin going home these two days? I'll go talk to my eldest cousin and ask him to stop by and ask. ”

Liu Ya said and walked out, this matter could not be delayed.
