Jiang Jiao sat in the second mule cart and came to Gu Jinli's house after a short time.

Jiang Jiao is worthy of being the son of Jiang County Lieutenant, and he has a fatherly demeanor, and as soon as he got out of the car, he shouted: "Old man Gu, Brother Dashan, niece Xiaoyu, I sent someone to you, hurry up and pick it out." ”

Gu Jinli's family was having lunch, and when they heard the voice, all the family except Gu Jinxiu came out.

Gu Jinli ran out of the courtyard with Cheng Ge'er, opened the courtyard door, and when he saw Jiang Jiao, he smiled and said, "Second Uncle Jiang, did you buy it back?" It's fast enough, come in quickly. ”

Jiang Jiao smiled: "Who is your second Uncle Jiang?" The work is the most neat, it's been a few days, if you don't come back, then the workshop can't be built? ”

From Tianfu County to Fucheng in He'an, it takes about five days to walk, but their family has horse-drawn carriages and mule carts, all of which run fast, and they can reach Fucheng in one day if they catch up.

Gu Jinli hurriedly praised Jiang Jiao twice, Jiang Jiao was even more happy, and looked at the three mule lanes behind him: "Hurry up, don't grind, hurry up." ”

After a while, the men in the three mule carts climbed out of the mule carts.

There were twenty men and women, from the prime of life to six years old, all skinny, dressed in tattered linen clothes, without shoes, all barefoot, with messy hair, and dark faces, with patches of bloody scabs on their faces, which had been scabbed from frostbite.

They were very timid, one by one slumped around, not daring to look at people, but they were curious about this new environment, and their eyes involuntarily glanced to the side. It is estimated that he was trained, and after only glancing twice, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at it again.

The third grandmother looked at those people and immediately wiped away her tears: "This thin one, it is estimated that he has not eaten a full meal for more than half a year." ”

The third grandmother remembered the days when their families fled the famine, and thought of her daughter Fuya's family, her Fuya doesn't know where she is now? Isn't it like these victims, almost as hungry as skeletons?

Thinking about this, the third grandmother couldn't hold back any longer, rushed into the yard while crying, ran to the kitchen, and took out everything that could be eaten at home.

Gu Dashan and Cui's eyes also reddened, and more than three months ago, several of them were like these victims.

The third grandfather looked at these victims and sighed in his heart, it was all caused by the drought, and if there was no drought, the farmers would not have to suffer from this.

"Lord Jiang, thank you for your hard work, bring them into the courtyard." The third grandfather turned sideways, made a way, and asked Jiang Jiao to bring the more than 20 victims into the courtyard.

"Old man Gu, just call me Ah Jiao, what is your name Lord Jiang, Ah Jiao doesn't have an official position, just a businessman." Jiang Jiao spoke, brought the twenty or so victims into the courtyard of the Gu family, pointed to the third grandfather and said: "All line up and stand, this is your future master's family, if you want to stay, if you want to have food, you have to behave, answer whatever you ask, and do whatever you want, understand?" ”

"Yes." The victims responded in unison, and most of them were very weak, except for a few who were relatively high.

The third grandmother had already brought the food to the yard and said to them, "Don't stand ...... yet"

"Third grandmother, I'll give them food later." Gu Jinli interrupted the third grandmother's words. She knew that the third grandmother was kind, but this era is like this, as the main family, if you want to deter people, you can't be too good to them.

is too good to his subordinates, he will raise their hearts, don't talk about being obedient and working in the future, it is possible to do things that murder the master's family.

Although Gu Jinli is from modern times, she is not stupid, she knows that there are some things that you must abide by the rules of this era, if you break the rules, the last person to be killed may be her own family.

When the third grandmother heard this, she hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinli turned his head to look at Jiang Jiao and asked him, "Second Uncle Jiang, there are some of these people who can fight fists and kicks." ”

Jiang Jiao said: "Yes, my father told me all your requirements, and specially bought you people who can punch and kick, but there are not many, only three, and there are too few people who can punch and kick." ”

He pointed to the three people in the disaster: "Lao Zhu, Liu Daguang, Wang Yongfu, you three stand up." ”

The three victims whose names were named took a step forward and stood up, but the one named Liu Daguang was one step slower than Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu, and he hesitated before he came forward.

Seeing this, Gu Jinli didn't say anything, but just said to the three of them: "Our family is also from the famine, and I won't look down on you, now I have a few words to ask you." ”

When Liu Daguang heard this, he was stunned at first, and he, who had originally lowered his head, immediately raised his head and looked down at Gu Jinli, all the previous humble aura was gone.

Gu Jinli sneered in his heart, looked at Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu, and saw that the two of them were still with their heads down, and after nervously tugging at the corners of their clothes, they were finally a lot more satisfied.

She pointed at Liu Daguang and said to Jiang Jiao: "Second Uncle Jiang, I don't want this person, let him go." ”

When Liu Daguang heard this, he was not worried at all, but looked relieved. He used to be a government servant and ate official meals in the county government, but later his county suffered a military disaster, and he was afraid of death, so he ran away with his family.

Originally, he wanted to settle down in Fucheng, but he didn't expect the war disaster to be so bad, he fled all the way with his wife and children, and his wife and children were also accidentally injured by stray arrows on the way, and he couldn't survive to death.

He fled to He'an Mansion alone, and his household registration was lost when he was on the road, and he asked for money to reapply for household registration, but he had no money, and he was so hungry that he couldn't do it, so he wanted to sell himself.

He saw that Jiang Jiao was good, and listened to him talk to his subordinates, this person was still the son of a county lieutenant, thinking of selling it to his family, and now he has been working in the county lieutenant's mansion for a few years, and after getting acquainted with the county lieutenant's family, he will redeem himself, enter the county government as an errand boy, and live the old days in his hometown.

Who would have thought that this ginger horn would be sent to the countryside when he bought him.

What future can this shabby countryside have?

The head of the family still fled from the famine, and the family was muddy, and he was unwilling to work in this family if he was killed.

Jiang Jiao saw Liu Daguang's expression in his eyes, and he was also very angry in his heart, he originally saw that this Liu Daguang could punch and kick, and he was also on an errand in the county government, he was a person who knew the rules and had some righteousness, so he bought him and brought him to the Gu family.

Unexpectedly, this time he was blinded and bought a lot of thoughts.

Jiang Jiao looked at Liu Daguang and sneered, turned his head to Gu Jinli and said, "Cheng, since Xiaoyu's niece's family doesn't want him, Second Uncle Jiang will sell him to the mine." ”

Sell to the mines!

When Liu Daguang heard this, he was almost frightened, plopped, and hurriedly knelt down: "Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye don't sell the small ones to the mine, the small ones are willing to stay in this house and work here!" ”

"It's late, you dare to pick the master's house with Joe after selling yourself, who do you think you are?" Jiang Jiao said to Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu: "Unload his arm for Lao Tzu and drag it aside." ”

"Yes." Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu were so hungry that their hands and feet were weak, but the two of them still quickly restrained Liu Daguang, clicked, dislocated his arm, took the rope thrown by Jiang Jiao, tied Liu Daguang, and dragged him to the courtyard gate.

Gu Jinli saw that these two people were good, and the two were very honest from getting out of the car to entering the door, and they were more satisfied with them, so he continued to ask them.

When Gu Jinli was asking, the third grandmother kept staring at this group of victims, originally feeling sorry for them and suffering a lot, but looking at it, she suddenly felt that there was a thin descendant in this group of people with a familiar face.
