Is it just a girl? Nothing more? What a 'that's it'.

The two little children couldn't tell how old they were, maybe eleven or twelve, they couldn't tell whether they were male or female, skinny and skinny, and their mother was no better, dry and spitting there with a glimmer of hope.

"What kind of world? Is it a disaster year? Need to sell your daughter? Liu Jun asked puzzled.

Li Qiye responded in a calm tone that was not strange: "Hasn't the world always been like this? There are no natural disasters and there are human disasters, there are bandits on the mountain and horse bandits on the road, if we didn't run away from the bandits last time, we are the ones kneeling here today. ”

After a pause, probably afraid of hearing Liu Jun, "We have already calculated it here, and further north, after crossing the Wuding River, those alien races go south every year to fight the grass valley, that is really miserable." ”

Liu Jun gasped, this passage is even more terrifying. Li Qiye provided him with two key words in this passage, alien, playing grass valley, is this already close to the borderland?

When asked in depth, Li Qiye also scratched his head, he is an old farmer in the countryside, and he often travels to and from the county seat and village, how can he know the situation hundreds of kilometers away, it is all hearsay.

Li Qiye couldn't say clearly, but Liu Jun had already kept an eye on it, and when he came to the third mother and son on the side of the road, Liu Jun asked softly: "Do you want to sell your two children?" How much do you want to sell? ”

A glimmer of hope flashed in the woman's eyes, and she snorted excitedly and said, "Don't want money, don't want money, just give you food." ”

The woman's words did not make Liu Jun happy, but his mood became heavier and heavier, he didn't want money, this was not selling his children, this was finding a way for his children to live.

"What about the child's father?" Liu Jun helped the two children up and looked at them carefully, the two children's eyes were very clear and they looked very healthy, but they had already known and accepted their situation, and their expressions were a little numb.

"Dead on the road." The woman's tone was devoid of grief, as if she were stating a very ordinary matter.

"The child is gone, what about you?" Liu Jun looked at the woman and asked.

The woman flattered and said, "I will go, I will go far and never come back, if only you could give the child a way to live." ”

Hearing her words, Liu Jun knew what the woman had misunderstood, and it was estimated that in these years, people who bought people didn't want their house slaves to have too much contact with their original families, so as not to eat inside and out.

But Liu Jun didn't mean this, and hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I mean, you have hands and feet, take your children into the city to find a job, even if you beg for food, you can survive, why bother selling them to separate their flesh and blood?" ”

The woman smiled sadly: "Hehe, whoever enters the city, the close point is beaten away by the stick." ”

Liu Jun was shocked, and immediately recalled that he had indeed never seen beggars in the county, Liu Jun originally thought that it was because the government had a high level of governance, and dared to love that beggars and exiles could not enter the city?

It seems that this place is far from being as peaceful as what I see in the city.

"Aren't you ready to sell yourself, then? You can also be a companion with your children, otherwise you won't be able to enter the city, what kind of life will you have? Liu Jun asked softly.

The woman smiled bitterly: "Which master of a woman like me would want it, it will only burden the child, and if I entrust the child, I will go east, maybe in the next county, there will be kind-hearted people to take care of me." ”

Liu Jun sighed secretly in her heart, with her state, how could she go to the next county, the biggest possibility was to die on the road, looking at her expression, she was obviously ready for this.

It's such a fucking world, ordinary people have already exhausted all their strength just to survive.

"I took your child in, you can come with me, and don't say anything about selling your body or not selling your ......." Liu Jun comes from an egalitarian society, and there is no option for keeping people as slaves in his concept, he prefers to take them in, just as he took in Liu Ru's mother and daughter.

Liu Jun's words made the faces of the two children Mu Ran show a little brightness, and also made the woman straighten up in surprise, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Qiye: "Liu Niang! Masters! ”

may think that calling 'Liu Niang' has no weight, Li Qiye actually changed his mouth and called the master, which frightened all the people in Lijia Village, including Liu Jun. Li Qiye is the elder of the clan, and his seniority and prestige are there, so this kind of title is not appropriate.

Letting Liu Jun aside, Li Qiye said, "Do you want to take them in?" Then don't speak, let me come. ”

Li Qiye walked up to the woman and the two children, and muttered for a while, the woman was so busy with excitement that the two children also called excitedly, and then hugged their mother and cried.

Then Li Qiye took out some dry food and water and handed them to them, and at the same time told with a serious expression, and did not know what to tell, the woman and the two children responded seriously, and then the woman led the small steps to Liu Jun and knelt down: "Thank you for taking it in, we will definitely be obedient and loyal to the master, and we will never have two hearts." ”

Liu Jun hurriedly helped them up, and then looked at Li Qiye, listening to these words, did these three mothers and sons sell themselves?

Li Qiye nodded, and waited for the third mother and son to step aside, before saying: "Liu Niang, I know that you have a good heart, and you can't see others being cows and horses, slaves and maids, but if you don't sell yourself, they can't even enter the village, if you don't buy them, they don't dare to feel at ease. ”

Is being a man a slave or being stable? It took Yoo half the journey to get used to the concept.

In these years, he was a house slave, guaranteed income in drought and flood, and had to eat and live, and the master family not only raised him alone, but also had to support him with a large family, and when the house slave reached a certain age, he had to marry his daughter-in-law, in short, the marriage and funeral were all inclusive.

And the free people, look at the heavens and see the harvest, bear their own profits and losses, but also have to pay grain and taxes, bear labor, if they are not careful, the situation of the family is ruined, how many uprisings and changes in history are caused by the bankruptcy of the free people?

The only advantage of being a human being over being a slave is private property, but in these years, the hard work earned in a year is not necessarily more than the food of a domestic slave in a year.

Like the eighteen family members of Ziqingshu, just one set of equipment on them is more than the entire belongings of a hundred peasants.

After figuring out these keys, Liu Jun finally understood why Liu Ru always liked to call herself a slave, and she was not happy when Liu Jun respected her, probably because she was afraid that Liu Jun would not want her as a house slave.

"Oh my God, what a fucking world." Liu Jun couldn't help but hide his face and lamented: "If one day, I also fall into this situation where I am better than being a slave, what should I do?" ”

It is estimated that it will be even worse, after all, he has to raise eleven children, oh, plus Li Zhaodi and now these two, there will be fourteen.

……

The cash flow that had almost been cut off continued, the construction of the house on the stone slope continued, the fence was fully built, and the foundation was started.

At this point, the speed becomes faster, because there is a whole large stone on the rocky slope, which is the highest level of foundation, which can carry an earthquake of seven or eight magnitudes.

All you need to do is drive in the steel drill to pour the cement, make a base that connects the rock and the wood, and then you can build it up.

The fence was already able to obscure the view, so Liu Jun simply changed the children's daily morning and evening classes to the stone slope, where there was more space for activities.

"Stand upright, look ahead for half an hour, and the finisher will be rewarded with a fructose, and the tofu brain that can't be completed will not be marinated." Liu Jun held a whip made of wicker, stood in front of the children, and gave a stern order.

Standing posture is the children's morning class every day, don't look at just standing there, as if there is no difficulty, but in fact it is the most severe tempering of will, people who can persist in standing for two hours, the willpower is outrageous.

The easiest thing for children is to be distracted and impatient, to be able to practice their standing posture well, and many small problems can be changed, of course, Liu Jun reduced his intensity and only stood for half an hour.

Because the physical requirements are not high, even the youngest child Li Youyou has to do it, but he is only three years old, and he is not forced to stand for as long as he wants.

In the process of standing, whoever dares to be distracted and look around, and who dares to have a non-standard posture, Liu Jun's whip will be drawn mercilessly.

In terms of children's education, he is very ruthless, because there is no right or wrong in the child's heart, and there is no good or evil, what is right and what is wrong, parents have to tell him, but the child is easily affected by nature, and the right and wrong of adults may not be in line with the child's nature, he will resist.

If he resists, the parents will compromise, and then his resistance will become a weapon for the parents to compromise, and in the end he will do everything against the parents.

Therefore, appropriate corporal punishment is very necessary in education, the younger the child, the more necessary corporal punishment is, but moderately, it must be on the premise of not harming the child's body.

The wicker whip that Liu Jun is holding is a tool that hurts a lot to hit and a red mark, but even if the whip is broken, it can't break the skin.

Of course, if you are really ruthless and can't whip it, then use the means of rewards and punishments, such as sugar, for children, candy is simply an elixir, and the stimulation of sweetness on their taste buds is more than ten times stronger than that of adults.

So when preparing the sweet tofu brain, Liu Jun bought a lot of maltose, and after mixing it with juice and boiling it dry, it could make the children next door cry.

And the punishment is that the tofu brain is not marinated, and the tofu brain without halogen is simply not eaten by people, especially children who have to eat two bowls every day.

Under the clear rewards and punishments, from Li Youyou, to Li Youwei and Li Zhaodi, the standing posture is becoming more and more standard day by day, and the expression on his face also brings a trace of perseverance from time to time.

When the children grow up, with them as the backbone, they can easily raise an army that is relatively disciplined compared to this era, and then see who dares to bully their mothers. Liu Jun crossed his waist and thought excitedly.

However, this good mood was broken before noon: "What? Propose? Who told you I was going to get married? ”
