Chapter 9: Drowning

In their opinion, the local things are also very good, and there is no need to follow the capital to learn everything, why bother? In their opinion, this will never be able to keep up, and it will take time for things in the capital to be delivered, and it is no longer the freshest when they arrive here.

As a result, the views are not very different, so that two different groups are formed, and they are not very optimistic about each other, but fortunately, they each have their own life circles, basically do not coincide much, and they are not very harmonious with each other.

Tao Baozhu naturally didn't want her cousin to bow her head, anyway, many people would be friendly with her, and alienating her cousin made her feel a little excited, and she couldn't wait to let her cousin become alone.

But before she could reach this idea, a big flood came, and she and Rokuro were caught off guard. was grabbed by Mama Fang and sent to the car.

Because the space in that car was not large enough, the little masters of the Tao family had to sit together more crowded, and even Mama Fang herself got into another car.

In the process of escaping this time, Tao Baozhu discovered that his cousin, who looked very ordinary, was the hidden master at all, and quickly controlled the whole situation.

Compared with her cousin, Tao Baozhu feels that she is doing average, and she doesn't understand much now, but she still feels that the other party is powerful.

She couldn't believe it was real, and it bothered her, but she also knew she couldn't change anything.

Who knew that there were several capable people around my cousin, who taught those who were disobedient a lesson, and made her envious.

Especially the good student named Ah Wu, if you can follow her in the future, it will be very safe in the future.

It's a pity that Ah Wu is not her person, she doesn't dare to do it against her cousin, unless she returns to her parents.

At this time, she didn't dare to offend this cousin, you must know that most people now listen to their cousin.

If only the elders of the family were there, then they could bring Ah Wu to their side.

It's a pity that I didn't come out with it this time, and I'll talk about it later.

Ling Xiao never thought of someone to hit Ah Wu's idea.

She recorded Mama Fang's confession and asked her to sign and draw her fingerprints. ‘

Mama Fang actually didn't want to sign and draw her fingerprint, so it would be difficult to deny it in the future.

But Ling Xiao sneered, making her understand that if she didn't sign, she was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so let's stop! Confessed.

She honestly signed her name, and Yuzhen has been doing circumstantial evidence on the side, and then rewrote a few copies.

In order to prevent him from thinking about tearing up the evidence after seeing Tao Erlang in the future, Mama Fang should think about retracting the confession, then she can try.

After everything was done, Ling Xiao asked the servants of the Tao family to keep Mama Fang and the two of them in one place, and the mother and daughter must not be let go after that.

After Ling Xiao knew the whole process, it was really impossible for them to let the mother and daughter go, even if they didn't kill anyone, they would definitely have to pay the price.

From what she did, it can be seen that Mama Fang's moral bottom line is almost zero, and after Mama Fang leaves at this moment, she may act against other people again, so it is conniving at crime.

Ling Xiao said to the guards: "You have to take turns to supervise it, if you don't supervise it well." caused their mother and daughter to run away, so useless people don't need to follow the Tao family. ”

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, the slaves took turns guarding the mother and daughter, without the slightest slackness, because they were afraid of being abandoned, and they were not slaves of the Tao family.

Maybe in later generations, people will see that they are above all else, but in feudal society, the small people live a very difficult life, and they would rather be slaves than be self-people.

Because there are many yeoman farmers and tenant farmers living at the bottom of the ladder, a serious illness can tear a family apart.

There are also natural disasters such as floods and droughts, which will also make those small people really unable to survive and eventually have to sell themselves.

Another small official or an errand officer may make the family unrecoverable.

In feudal society, the status of the common people is very low, and they are simply leeks to be cut.

In fact, the slaves of the family were sometimes higher in status than the common people.

The housekeepers and servants of such and such an official arrived high in the village.

Behind the slaves are there people who have special support.

The fox and the tiger are the ones who prove this thoroughly.

After thinking about it, the servants of the Tao family felt that they still followed the Tao family.

Obviously, Ling Xiao's words made the people who were guarding them stare at them all of a sudden.

And the reason why Mama Fang wanted to murder the master's family was because she got a golden cake.

In addition, Mama Dou also promised to let Hongyu find a good family in the future, so that she could become a master.

For the sake of his daughter's future, he will do evil things unscrupulously, thinking that Hongyu must have a great future in the future.

It's just that after arriving here, Mama's thoughts have changed, and she understands a little in her heart, and she feels hanging.

After the flood came, he had the idea of taking the opportunity to run away, so as to completely cover up the slavery issue between the mother and daughter.

And if Hongyu becomes a down-and-out noblewoman, she will definitely become a sought-after commodity in the marriage market, and of course she must have a large dowry.

But what she never expected was that Ling Xiao would come to a lore, directly control the whole situation, and force Mama Fang to tell the truth.

After knowing some of Mama Fang's thoughts, to put it mildly, Ling Xiao was more jealous and hateful, and Yu Si wanted to kill Mama Fang.

But after thinking about it for a while, Ling Xiao didn't make a move, first of all, because their mother and daughter were the slaves of the original owner and second uncle, although she could kill them, how could she use them to blackmail those two?

Thinking of having to follow the rules when living in ancient society, this body and two younger brothers would have to be at the mercy of the second uncle and aunt after becoming orphans, Ling Xiao was a million unwilling in his heart.

After coming out of that place where he needed to suppress his thoughts and actions everywhere, Ling Xiao felt that his temperament had changed a little, and he became even less impatient.

Now she doesn't like to listen to other people's fingers, and in ancient society, the three outlines and five constants were implemented: monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and many rules.

Boys generally have a better chance of choosing, and they are completely able to practice martial arts and practice words independently, and they must study hard, and they may come out after learning the real skills.

But the women of large families are basically trapped in the backyard to become canaries, mainly to learn housekeeping skills such as female celebrities and housekeepers.

Ling Xiao didn't agree to ten thousand when she thought of living this kind of life, so that she wouldn't become a canary trapped in the backyard.

The most headache for her is that the marriage event of this body is very likely to be controlled by the second aunt of the original owner.

In other words, the second aunt asked her to marry whoever she wanted, this situation is absolutely not good, Ling Xiao is not happy.

thought that the second aunt actually inquired about her mother-in-law's privacy, and threatened her mother-in-law.

knew that this second aunt had a lot of guts, so she betrayed her niece in marriage.

This operation is absolutely normal for the second aunt, she has no bottom line.

Mama Fang also confessed why the second aunt asked her children to come back to celebrate their birthdays.

She sent her children back to dig up money.

In other words, doing things is to benefit Tao Erlang's family.

Then Ling Xiao is sure that it will be difficult to go to the second aunt to beg for a living.

You must know that this time because of the flood, most of the family property was drained.

The second aunt naturally won't take over the three of them easily, and maybe find an opportunity to sell them.

Ling Xiao calculated, this figure is already ten years old, and he usually starts looking for marriage at the age of twelve or thirteen.

When it is time to get married, the Tao family's declining family status can be sold for more money.

With the second aunt's boldness, love money, and bottomless temperament, she will definitely grab the greatest benefits in negotiating the marriage of this body.

She can definitely get enough benefits for her own family and marry her niece to a family that looks like she has a low face, but in fact she fell into a fire pit.

For example, people who like Longyang, they basically have to grit their teeth and endure nausea to marry a wife and have children, which is usually hidden from the man's family.

Even if the man's problem is exposed, then the woman who marries him generally can't get along, because in ancient times, the kind of good Longyang was still a good thing in the eyes of some people, anyway, getting together with a man is definitely not a child born and robbing the family property.

As for the happiness that women should get in marriage, there is no such thing, they have no feelings, and they have no right to be happy, they can only be obedient all the time, and they can't damage the rules of the whole society, otherwise women themselves are rebellious.

But Ling Xiao feels that this is a cheating marriage at all, why can't women have the idea of pursuing happiness? She had absolutely no intention of becoming an unlucky gaywife.

After getting to know the second aunt, Ling Xiao was very wary of that woman, she was full of food and supported the woman's side, so she wouldn't go.

Ling Xiao didn't believe in the second aunt from his heart, so he still separated from each other, hoping that the second aunt wouldn't make up her mind, otherwise, ......

Just then she received the news of the walk, which was sent by the puppet she had sent out to find the original owner's father.

The original owner's father and mother were really dead, and the two of them were also unlucky, and in the end, they were drowned alive.

After Ling Xiao passed through, he asked the puppet to go to the hometown in the memory of the original owner, and it was too late to get there.

Fortunately, the bodies of the two people were found, and the husband and wife should know that it is not good.

In the end, he drowned in one place and did not run away.

Fortunately, the puppet went in time.

It can be regarded as getting back the bodies of two people.

Of course, the puppet also rescued a lot of people along the way.

Ling Xiao knew the situation and decided to take their corpses on the road.

But considering that the body cannot be preserved forever, and it is a long way to go.

In the end, Ling Xiao planned to cremate the bodies of the two people before taking the ashes on the road.

Anyway, people from modern times don't have any psychological shadow about cremation, so they just do it.

The rescued people still had some servants of the Tao family, but most of them didn't know where they had gone.

Some people cried after seeing the bones of Tao Dalang and his wife, of course they wanted to defect to Ling Xiao and them.

They belong to the children of the Tao family, and some people think that Ling Xiao is a child, and it is easier to handle, maybe they can get some oil and water.

Among the slaves of the family are many loyal slaves, but there is no shortage of slaves who do things harmful to their masters under the banner of good for their masters.

There have been cases where some slaves robbed the good land of the small people under the banner of the master's family, and there were also those who robbed a woman to be a concubine and engaged in some kind of usury (there were also usury by the master's family).

Slaves are also human beings, so naturally there are two sides of good and evil, after Ling Xiao learned the news, he just took the opportunity to deal with Mama Fang's affairs, and the body of the original owner's father and mother happened to be transported over.

Ling Xiao took a look, it was definitely a corpse, and it couldn't be saved at all, so he asked people to prepare everything and cremate the bodies of the two people.

The two younger brothers didn't know what was going on at first, but when they realized it, they were crying.

Ling Xiao hugged the two boys tightly, and these two children would be her responsibility for a period of time in the future.

Tao Baozhu secretly looked at her cousin, she could only look at her cousin's back, and did not dare to move forward.

In that raging fire, the bodies of the two men were all reduced to ashes.

Ling Xiao asked Yu Zhen to read a few volumes of scriptures at the end.

put away the ashes of the two of them.

After all the work is done.

The Tao family and his entourage were ready to leave.

It's starting to get cloudy again, and I want it to rain.

Most of the original people couldn't wait and had already left.

Some people feel that they still have to follow the Tao family and be safe.

has been waiting aside, now it is more chaotic, and the Tao family is more powerful.

Not many people were able to bring some food with them before the floods.

But if people are hungry and panicked without eating, then they will naturally start robbing and be more chaotic.

Before, the Tao family was a big piece of fat, but what I didn't expect was that the Tao family still had a big killer.

Those few people who were kicked away couldn't get up at all, and after that, the Tao family was no longer a fat sheep in the eyes of those people.

It's a tiger-like existence, and the slave who wants to leave with something from the master's house after knowing the situation is now more honest.

They had also seen those people who were kicked aside, thinking that they were inferior to others, so they followed for the time being, Ling Xiao glanced at it and didn't say anything.

Those people were all very miserable, but those who could survive under the flood were miserable, so Ling Xiao didn't drive them away.

After taking people on the road, it was quite difficult along the way, but fortunately, with Ah Wu and Yu Zhen here, they were able to fight some birds and beasts.

In this way, the people who follow them still live a more nourishing life, after all, there is not much food.

There was a lot of food in Ling Xiao's space, but she couldn't take out a lot of food.

Otherwise, how can we explain where this food comes from? Later hunting along the way.

These dozens of people were not full of food and drink, but they still barely survived.

And the younger brother and cousin of the original owner suffered for the first time.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people who follow.

The days of the escape were not bad.

But the pampered ones are a little unbearable.

Ling Xiao is simply a difficult day for them.

After saving them, their bones were a little lighter after living a good life.

is even more strict with those boys, making them suffer more.

On the way to escape, sometimes everyone has to walk, even children have to walk on their own.

This made a few people reluctant, but Ling Xiao didn't care at all, anyway, everything in the car was necessary.
