"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my neighbor's girl, something happened at home, and her mother dragged me to sell it, as long as one hundred yuan." An uncle with a sharp beak beckoning passers-by, and a little girl kneeling next to him.

The little girl's face was dirty, and up close you could see that she had rotten sores on her face and hands, which looked a little scary.

The hair is messy, there are a few straws on it, not to mention the clothes, it is estimated that there is dust on it when you touch it.

"Sister Qingmei." Xue Peiqi tugged Chen Qingmei's clothes, "This little girl is so pitiful, she is worse than us, her mother is really ruthless, how did she sell her." ”

"This should just be an excuse, I think that uncle looks like a human tooth, and now he is here to sell people." Chen Qingmei said.

"Ah, so that's the case, but most people buy maids for one or two silver, why does he only need a hundred yuan."

"Look at the little girl kneeling on the ground, not to mention the dirty, her face and hands are full of rotten sores, most people don't want her to be a girl, so she can only be sold cheaply, and it is a little money to make some money."

"Still, does anyone buy it?"

"Think about it, can ordinary people buy a girl to use it back, not to mention that a hundred wen is a lot of money, where will anyone be willing to buy one, and it will be rotten sores." Chen Qingmei said.

"What if I can't sell it?"

"I don't know about that." Chen Qingmei shook her head, "Anyway, there will definitely be no good end." ”

"That's pathetic." Xue Peiqi said, "Sister Qingmei.... She's about the same age as us. ”

The man shouted more than a dozen times left and right, but no one came to buy it, and there were a lot of people watching the excitement.

"Stinky girl." Ren Yazi glared fiercely at the little girl kneeling on the ground, "Eat me and drink me, waste my food, and I can't sell it now." ”

The little girl lowered her head, did not dare to speak, and looked a little frightened.

Renyazi was also impatient, so he moved a bench and sat next to it, waiting for someone to buy it.

The little girl knelt on the ground, with her head bowed and straw stuck in her head, for the passers-by to see.

"Sister Qingmei.... Why don't we buy her? Xue Peiqi said.

"We? Let's buy a little girl and come back for something. Chen Qingmei said, "Let's go." ”

"Sister Qingmei..."Xue Peiqi grabbed Chen Qingmei, "I think she's so pitiful, let's save her, okay." ”

Chen Qingmei said, "There are many people in this world who need to be helped, can you save them all?" ”

"But, I can save one is one, when I see her, I think of my former self, fortunately, I still have a Qingmei sister."

Chen Qingmei looked at Xue Peiqi, this girl can't be the heroine's heart attack, "There are some things that we can't save if we can't save them." ”

"Okay..."Xue Peiqi glanced up at the little girl, and there was some sympathy.

The little girl suddenly fainted on her knees, and she didn't ask, so she kicked up, "Dead girl, don't pretend to be dead." ”

A few aunts next to her couldn't stand it anymore, saying that people's teeth were too ruthless.

"Go, go, if you don't buy it, get out of the way." The human tooth is fierce, if he doesn't solve this girl, how can he go back and explain to his daughter-in-law.

Ren Yazi directly took a basin of water and poured it on the little girl's head, and the little girl was woken up by the water, and opened her eyes slowly.

"Let you play dead." The human tooth kicked the little girl, and the little girl hugged her body tightly and trembled.

"Okay, okay, stop fighting, this little girl, I bought it." Xue Peiqi couldn't stand it anymore, and maybe it was really the Holy Mother's heart attack, so she immediately stepped forward.

This little girl was beaten and kicked by this person's teeth, and Chen Qingmei, who didn't want to meddle in things, couldn't stand it anymore, and this person's teeth were too cruel.

Ren Yazi originally thought that there was a seller, but when he saw that it was two little girls, his attitude immediately changed, "Go and go, the children will go, don't make trouble with us here." ”

Xue Peiqi was a little angry and was stopped by Chen Qingmei.

"Do you have any money?"

"Why do you ask so much, do you sell it or not?" Chen Qingmei said.

"Of course it was sold." Renyazi has long wanted to sell this burden, not to mention wasting food, and he can't die, and he can sell it for a few dollars.

Chen Qingmei stretched out her finger, "Fifty Wen." ”

"What? Fifty wen? "When Renyazi heard that the price was cut in half, he didn't want to." Don't sell or sell, at least 100 wen. ”

Chen Qingmei said, "If you don't sell me, I'll leave." ”

Xue Peiqi was a little anxious, wouldn't her own Qingmei sister really leave.

Renyazi finally ran into a buyer, and naturally he didn't want to let it go, otherwise he would take her back again, and his wife would definitely scold him again, "Wait, ninety wen, how about I give you ten wen." ”

"It's fifty wen." Chen Qingmei said, "Think about it, I have to treat her when I buy it back, and I have to spend a sum of money, I just bought it because she was pitiful, otherwise I would have bought it elsewhere." ”

Ren Yazi said, "Eighty Wen." ”

"Forty pennies."

"Seventy-five cents."

"Thirty cents."

"How do you bargain little girl?" Renyazi is a little impatient, how can this little girl haggle indiscriminately, and it is getting lower and lower.

"Do you sell it or not?"

"Don't sell it, you can go."

Chen Qingmei said, "Okay, I'll go, Peggy, let's go." ”

"Wait." Ren Yazi said, "Fifty Wen." ”

Chen Qingmei had already determined the idea of a person's teeth, and fifty wen was his lowest limit, "Okay, fifty wen, you give me the deed of sale." ”

"Pay the money with one hand, and pay the deed of sale with the other."

"I'll have to see if the deed of sale is real or fake." Chen Qingmei said.

Ren Yazi took out a deed of sale from his sleeve and unfolded it, "Look at it, there is also the official seal." ”

If you want to redeem yourself, you can take this deed of sale to the government to eliminate slavery.

"Okay." Chen Qingmei took out fifty yuan, "Here you go." ”

The people were also sharp, and directly threw the deed of sale to Chen Qingmei, counted the money and left.

Xue Peiqi hurriedly stepped forward to help the little girl up, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." The little girl shook her head.

"What's your name?"

"My name is girl." The little girl knelt down suddenly, "I kowtow to the two of you, and thank you for the great kindness of the two young ladies." ”

"Hurry up." Xue Peiqi hurriedly helped her up.

Chen Qingmei tightened her money bag, and there were more than a dozen coins in it, "You will be called Chunlan in the future, and you will live with us in the future." ”

The name girl is too tongue-twisting, so Chen Qingmei casually gave her a name.

"Thank you, young ladies." Saying that, Chunlan was about to kneel down again, but was pulled by Xue Peiqi.

Xue Peiqi said, "Come with us." ”

"Wait a minute, let's go see her doctor first." Chen Qingmei said, "She must be injured like this, so she has to take some medicine." ”

"No, no, no, I don't look at the doctor, it's too expensive to see the doctor." Chunlan kept waving her hand, saying that she didn't want to go to the doctor, after all, the cost of seeing a doctor was too much, and Chunlan didn't want them to spend the money, "My face is like this." ”

"That's not going to work." Xue Peiqi shook her head, "Your illness is too serious, if you don't treat it, your face will be ruined, and you still have to be treated." ”

Chen Qingmei said, "Now that I bought you, so you have to listen to me, Peggy, you take her to the medical center at Dongjiekou first, and I'll be there later." ”

"Okay, Sister Qingmei." Xue Peiqi said, "Chunlan, let's go." ”

Chen Qingmei saw them leaving, so she turned around and left, she went to a ready-to-wear store, Chunlan's clothes were all tattered, and she didn't cover her body, so she had to buy a dress to cover it first.

Chunlan was reluctant to go to the hospital, she felt that it was too expensive, but Xue Peiqi insisted that she see a doctor, and Chunlan entered the hospital.

Chen Qingmei bought a dress that was covered on the outside and hurried to the hospital.

The lady of the medical hall had already wiped Chunlan's face and hands to see what was going on with the rotten sores on her.

"This has to be wiped with herbs every day to cure it." The lady said, "Generally, there are Chinese herbal medicines on the mountain all year round, I will prescribe you a few more medicines, you should pay attention to yourself, otherwise there will be scars on your face and hands at that time." ”

"I don't take medicine, I'll just grab some herbs, girl, tell me what herbs are." Chunlan was reluctant to grab medicine, she knew that it would cost a lot of money to grab medicine.

Xue Peiqi said, "If you don't take the medicine, it won't be good, you must take some medicine, are you afraid of bitterness." ”

"It's not." Chunlan shook her head, "It's very expensive to grab medicine, Chunlan doesn't catch medicine." ”

Xue Peiqi was trying to persuade Chen Qingmei to come over with her clothes, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Peiqi told Chen Qingmei what happened just now, and Chen Qingmei said to the girl, "Girl, please help us get some medicine, can you give us a basin of water by the way?" ”

"Okay." The lady is also gentle, and should come down.

Chunlan was still a little scared when she saw Chen Qingmei, this girl was resolute in her work, and she bought herself, so she had some awe.

Chen Qingmei put the clothes on the table, "Wait a while, you can wash it with water and change this dress." ”

Chunlan's clothes are not only patches, they are basically dirty and dusty, and I can't see what the original color is.

Chunlan suddenly knelt down, "Sister Xiaoqingmei's great kindness, Chunlan doesn't know how to reciprocate." ”

"You get up first." Chen Qingmei said, "Since I bought you, we will be a family in the future." ”

Xue Peiqi nodded, "Yes, although my family is not rich, I won't beat you." ”

Chunlan was already in tears, "Thank you two little Qingmei sisters, thank you two little Qingmei sisters." ”

"Don't call us Sister Qingmei, it feels weird." Xue Peiqi said, "How old are you this year?" ”

"I don't know." Chunlan shook her head, she had been in Renyazi's house since she could remember, and no one had ever told her birthday, year after year, day after day.

"She's older than you." Chen Qingmei said.

"No, it won't." Xue Peiqi still wants to be Sister Qingmei and Sister Qingmei, but now her hopes are disappointed, "Okay, I'll call you Sister Chunlan Qingmei in the future." ”

"No, no, no, how can I afford Sister Xiaomei to call me Sister Qingmei Sister Qingmei." Chunlan shook her head vigorously, unwilling to agree.

Xue Peiqi looked at Chen Qingmei with some worry, I don't know why Chunlan is so stubborn, only her own Qingmei sister can persuade Chunlan.

"Don't talk about it yet." Chen Qingmei said, "It's not too early now, I have to go back early, and I'll talk about it after I go back." ”

Xue Peiqi nodded, "Okay, Sister Qingmei." ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingmei said, "I'll go get the medicine, and you take her to wash." ”

"I know, Sister Qingmei."

Chen Qingmei went to the lady to get the medicine list, then went to the counter to grab the medicine and paid the money.

Now the conditions here don't allow it, so Chunlan can only wipe it casually and change into a coat.

"I've met good people." Chunlan said, "I haven't worn new clothes for so many years, it's too much for Sister Xiaoqingmei to break the bank." ”

Xue Peiqi said, "Are you a little afraid of my Sister Qingmei." ”

Chunlan wanted to nod, but she didn't dare to nod, she was still a child after all.

"Actually, Sister Qingmei is good, you will know when you get along with her for a long time." Xue Peiqi said.

"I know." Chunlan touched the coat on her body, these were all bought by Chen Qingmei, although Chen Qingmei didn't say it, but she still took care of her in her heart, which made Chunlan feel warm in her heart. "And Miss Xue, she is also very good."

Xue Peiqi said, "I don't know how to answer the shouts you always call our Miss Miss." ”

Usually Xue Peiqi is used to people calling her Peiqi in the village, at first glance it sounds very strange to hear what Miss is, she is not a boudoir lady, and now she is called like this, I always feel uncomfortable.

Chunlan shook her head, "No, you must shout like this, if you buy me, I should be a maid for you." ”

"But we didn't buy you to be a maid, we just saw that you were pitiful and wanted to save you."

"Miss Xue, you and Miss Xue saved me, and you are my benefactors for life, and I will always remember it in my heart."

Seeing Chunlan talking like this, Xue Peiqi didn't know what to say, and was a little helpless.

Chen Qingmei grabbed the medicine and found them, "Let's go." ”

"Okay." Peggy Xue nodded, reaching for the basket that was placed on the ground.

"Miss Xue, I'll take it." Chunlan has the consciousness of being a maid.

"No, you have a wound on your back, and it will hurt if you carry a bamboo basket." Xue Peiqi said.

"I'm fine." Chunlan shook her head.

Chen Qingmei said, "Let Peggy carry it, and I'll find an ox cart to pull us back later." ”

After listening to Chen Qingmei's words, Chunlan didn't dare to refute, so naturally she didn't take over to carry the bamboo basket.

There are three people in total, each with three cents, a total of nine cents.

Chen Qingmei didn't break the price, and gave the coachman ten cents to stop carrying people on the ox cart.

The ox cart drove all the way to the village gate, but Chen Qingmei didn't let him send it to the village, and then took Xue Peiqi and Chunlan back.

Chunlan looked around the village with some curiosity, she usually lived in a dark house, or she helped take care of the children brought back by Renyazi, and rarely had the opportunity to come out.

"This is the village where we live." Xue Peiqi said.

Chunlan nodded, "It's so nice here." ”
