Chapter 23 Buying people

"Bang", the crisp sound of the tea bowl hitting the table interrupted Yu Qingqing's contemplation, and she looked up to see that it was the dart master of the Changji Dart Bureau, Bai Yang.

Bai Yang put down the tea bowl, stepped on the bench with one foot up, wiped his mouth, and said in a rough voice: "Brother Awu, after this tea shop, you need to travel a hundred miles before there will be villages and towns, and I will spend the night outside tonight." ”

Yu Qingqing also put down the tea bowl in her hand, smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay." As he spoke, he glanced at the dart box guarded by three or five people on the side of the road, and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of food you eat or where you live, dart safety is the most important thing." ”

There are many inconveniences for women to travel, and in order to avoid these troubles, Yu Qingqing changed into men's clothes and took a pseudonym.

Because of the wind and sun, her appearance is no different from that of a man, and she has never been suspected.

Hearing this, Bai Yang patted his chest and said: "Brother Ah Wu, don't worry, with our brother in Changji, the dart must be safe!" ”

Yu Qingqing smiled and nodded.

After starting from Daguan Town, she traveled alone for more than half a month, meeting Diao Min and living in a black shop along the way, and all those people wanted were her financial life.

But Hades is also afraid of desperate ghosts, before setting off, she had asked Chang Zhihui for a big knife, and thanks to this knife, she was able to repeatedly turn danger into a disaster and fight a way out.

Because she didn't want to be known, Yu Qingqing first refused Chang Zhixi's escort, and then rejected the caravan two or three times, and what changed her mind was an incident she experienced in Fuzhou.

After that incident, she found the most prestigious Changji dart bureau in Fuzhou, and went to Yongzhou with a heavy amount of money.

Poplar is the head of this dart.

After drinking tea and resting their feet, the group began to hurry.

After rushing for half a month without stopping, I finally saw the boundary monument of Yongzhou.

The dart masters led by Poplar were all relieved.

"Brother Awu, let's go into the city now to find an inn to rest, and then notify Brother Awu's owner to come to pick up the dart, do you think?"

Yu Qingqing's final destination is not Yongzhou, but Yucheng in Yongzhou.

But she won't tell Poplar and the others about this.

Wen Yan nodded and said, "Enter the city." ”

When she arrived at the city gate, Yu Qingqing's eyes were attracted by a thatched roof shop temporarily built outside the city gate.

She turned her head and said to Baiyang: "When it's time to eat, let's eat a bowl of noodles and then enter the city." ”

The task was about to be completed, and Poplar was relaxed, and nodded with a smile when he heard the words: "Okay." Then he turned over and dismounted, waved his hand and ordered the brothers of the dart board to pull over, ordered four guards, and the rest entered the noodle shop.

As soon as he entered the noodle shop, he flew in front of him, and the poplar was followed by Ah Wu, knowing that Ah Wu didn't know martial arts, and the poplar didn't dare to hide when he saw this, so he raised his hand and copied it in his hand, but when he looked at it, it was a white porcelain bowl with an open mouth.

"You dare to hide if you lose money, see if I don't kill you!"

Dirty cursing was accompanied by the sound of fists and kicks falling on the flesh.

Yu Qingqing leaned over and glanced at the white porcelain bowl in Bai Yang's hand, and then looked ahead.

Directly in front of them, a strong middle-aged man was beating a ragged little girl curled up on the ground.

The fists were heavy and the feet were ruthless, but the little girl held her head and didn't say a word.

"Stop!" Poplar couldn't stand it and scolded loudly.

The man didn't know whether he didn't hear it, or he turned a deaf ear, and his attack became more and more ruthless.

Poplar's face was pale, and he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold the man's wrist, pulled the person aside with a force, and shouted: "She is still a child, why are you doing such a ruthless hand, are you planning to kill her!" ”

The man was stopped, and he seemed to be extremely angry in his heart, spat on the ground, and said fiercely: "I discipline my own children, what does it matter to you!" ”

Hearing this, Bai Yang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said angrily: "Do you still know that this is your child? Is there a father like you? ”

Yu Qingqing stepped forward and squatted down to look at the little girl on the ground.

The withered grass hair covered her eyes, and she reached out to brush it away, and it was a very childish face.

He was only twelve or thirteen years old.

The corners of the nose and mouth are bloodstained, the cheeks are swollen very high, and the hair on the sideburns is missing.

The clothes were so tattered that they could barely cover their bodies, and under the holes of their size were bruises and bruises.

"My name is Ah Wu, what's your name?" Yu Qingqing carefully helped the person up and asked softly.

The little girl's expression was a little sluggish, and she lowered her head timidly when she heard the words, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

On the other side, Bai Yang, who has always valued peace and treated people with courtesy, actually fought with the man.

Yu Qingqing glanced at it very coldly, then lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Why did your father beat you?" ”

The little girl didn't say a word, but her eyes swept to a white porcelain piece the size of a fingernail under the cupboard.

Yu Qingqing saw that she didn't speak, and thought that she couldn't make a sound when she was beaten, and guessed that she might not be able to speak.

The heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and there was a short and sharp pain.

She frowned, took off her coat and wrapped it around her, but the thin shoulders under her hands trembled, Yu Qingqing hurriedly withdrew her hand, and said nervously: "Did I hurt you?" ”

This time the little girl finally responded, she raised her head, and stared at Yu Qingqing with a pair of black and white eyes.

Being stared at with such pure eyes, Yu Qingqing's heart was sour, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

But seeing that the little girl nodded almost invisibly, and replied in a low voice: "It hurts..." ”

A smile appeared on Yu Qingqing's lips, it turned out that she could speak.

"Sorry to hurt you." Yu Qingqing said and pulled her clothes away, and said softly, "Do you want to go with your brother?" Brother will take you to a place where you won't be beaten, okay? ”

When the little girl heard that she would not be beaten, her eyes brightened for a while.

But she didn't know what to think, the light went out, and she looked at the woman who was busy standing by the soup pot outside the thatched house: "But what about my mother?" ”

Yu Qingqing's throat choked, and for a while she couldn't even speak.

Until now, this child still can't give up his family affection?

But why didn't she use those good-looking eyes to see, how could her family affection ever feel sorry for her?

"Your mother...."Yu Qingqing pondered: "Your mother and she will live well without you." ”

"And I will give your mother a lot of silver, and with the silver, she won't have to be so busy."

The little girl nodded.

Yu Qingqing smiled and rubbed her head, then got up and went outside the thatched house, shouting to stop the poplar who was scolding and waving his fist.

"I bought your child, how much silver are you willing to buy?" Yu Qingqing said to the man: "Count it together with your medical expenses." ”

The man was shouting to report to the official, but when he heard the words, he slid his eyes up and down to look at the person who spoke.

His face was black as if he had been pulled out of a coal heap, and his thin face looked like a starving ghost.

Wearing a washed and whitened coarse cloth shirt, and a pair of cloth boots that were about to wear out.

"It's so shabby, you dare to buy my daughter!" The man said disdainfully, and then added: "Do you have any silver?" ”
