"I'll look at the people first." Luo Xiaoqiao said lukewarmly.

As soon as the tooth man saw that there was a play, he hurriedly led him to the courtyard and asked the girl to serve them some tea.

"Bring people here." The tooth man commanded to go down.

After a while, the courtyard was full of people.

More energetic than those standing on the street, these people, the first two rows of smaller girls and boys are cleaner, and most of them are also yellow and hungry in the back.

"How did these people get here?" Luo Xiaoqiao sat down and chatted with the tooth man.

"They are all hard-working people, most of the girls and boys here are poor and sold, and some of them have made mistakes and are sold by the master's family. Those people with tattoos on their faces are official slaves. A few others voluntarily sold themselves because of their poor family background. ”

The tooth man has been crawling in this business for so many years, and he has long been numb, and he has no sympathy for these people.

A few white little girls and boys all peeked at Luo Xiaoqiao with fiery eyes, and there were also a few black and thin ones, who didn't dare to look up at people.

"What's going on with the arm?" Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to a middle-aged man in the corner and asked.

The man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Luo Xiaoqiao to notice him, and said in a low voice: "Fighting, he was cut down by the Tartars"

The man's words made Luo Xiaoqiao stay for a moment, perhaps it was the experience of her previous life that made her have a special good impression of people who had been soldiers.

"Girl, his skills are actually good, but he is missing half an arm, and the family thinks he is idle and wants to sell his daughter, but he protects him, but the old man is angry and sells his family."

The tooth man hurriedly introduced, this cripple, how much has her business been ruined after she came, and she must let her family be together, otherwise the whole family will die and live.

"Killed?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"Cut a few tartars," the man replied sullenly.

"In any position in the military?" Luo Xiaoqiao then asked.

"Centurion," the man replied.

"Literate?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"I know a few, not too much", the man replied honestly.

"Ming Yi, you try him", as soon as Luo Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Ming Yi kicked him with one leg, the man's reaction ability was good, and he swiped his foot and dodged.

After more than ten moves between the two, Ming Yi obviously had the upper hand, but it can be seen that the man's basic skills are good.

"Let your family come out", Luo Xiaoqiao said.

A woman raised her head instantly, her eyes full of surprise, and pulled a little girl of twelve or thirteen, and a little boy of four or five years old came out.

They hope that they can have a good Samaritan to buy their family of four, but it is obvious that their children are still at an age where they can eat and can't work, and the possibility that the main family is willing to buy it is really low. They really don't want their children to end up in a place like the Red Mansion.

"Miss, please buy us, we are very capable, just give the child food", the woman looked at Luo Xiaoqiao pitifully.

"Whoever of you knows how to farm, stand up." Luo Xiaoqiao said, "My family is a farmer, and if I buy you, I am farming." ”

As soon as I said this, a few people who were moved retreated, and the few who came out were all honest men and women.

"You come here", Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the man with one arm and said, "Pick an honest one from it"

The man was stunned, and actually asked him to pick someone?

"You have to vouch for the people you choose, and if someone cheats and cheats in the future, you will also be implicated." Luo Xiaoqiao looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said.

As soon as the man heard this, he did not hesitate to start picking people from the crowd.

"What do these people count?" Luo Xiaoqiao picked about twenty-six people, most of them were dragged with their families, about eight people, turned his head and asked.

Is this promised? Almost all of those who were singled out cried with joy. They have been sold, there is no other hope, and the greatest desire is not to be separated from their families, but this hope is really very slim. Unexpectedly, there was really a master family who bought them today.

"Seven taels of silver for adults, four taels for children", the tooth man said with a smile, he thought that the family would buy one or two at most, but he didn't expect such a big spend.

"You see I'm young, so I'm so fooled?"

"Girl, I've been in this tooth shop for so many years, and the price is the fairest, these people ......"

"You're not the only one on this street." Luo Xiaoqiao was about to stand up as he spoke, "Grandpa, let's go and have a look."

Ming Yi and Ming followed her, and he didn't say a word.

The tooth man was a little dumbfounded: "Alas, wait, if you buy it sincerely, you come back and say, the child is two or two, and the adult is six taels", the tooth man saw such a big customer for a long time, and let it go.

Among these people, the cripple has been here for a few days, and no one wants it at all, just to eat for nothing, and those children are not very good, and they can't give the price to the Red Mansion.

If you can make a move, you should sell it quickly, and it is a waste of food to smash your hands.

Grandpa Luo didn't speak the whole time, and after seeing this and paying the money, he led people out of the alley.

There are seven or eight children, although most of them are relatively young, but they have experienced so many people's warmth and warmth, and they are also very sensible, and they all follow behind and bow their heads without talking or making noise.

When he went back, there were a lot of people, so Luo Xiaoqiao directly hired a few carriages and pulled them back.

"This is my home, you live here first, and then arrange other accommodations for you in a few days."

Luo Xiaoqiao said expressionlessly, the words spoken by this twelve-year-old girl made everyone feel awe for no reason.

"This is my grandparents, sister and brother."

"I've seen the master, the old lady, the young master, the young lady", all the subordinates knelt down.

Luo Xiaoni and the others were startled, and they were a little nervous.

Luo Xiaoqiao said: "Our family, if you don't kneel at every turn, as long as you work hard and heartily, I won't treat you badly." On the contrary, if anyone betrays the Lord, how I buy you, how can I sell it."

"The little ones don't dare", everyone said seriously.

"You are a housekeeper for the time being, I will call you if there is something, and you are responsible for arranging other people", Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the man with the broken arm and said.

"Yes"

There are a lot of spare wings in the Luo family, and the ten big tile houses built often make Grandpa Luo say that he is not popular, but now it can be filled.

Soon, the family was housed in a room, and each family found a place to live.

Before Luo Xiaoqiao bought a lot of fabrics, miscellaneous grains, and vegetables produced at home, he explained a few words briefly, and let them familiarize themselves with the environment.

"Tomorrow I'll give you a day to clean up after yourself. The fabric is for you, and you can make your own clothes. Every day, the meals are cooked by themselves, and the men and women have to go to work, and then they will make specific arrangements for you. ”

Luo Xiaoqiao continued: "It's done, 500 copper coins per person per month, the children don't have money, they don't need to do it."

"Thank you, girl." A large number of people were about to kneel down again, and when they remembered Luo Xiaoqiao's words, they still stood in embarrassment.

After the arrangements were made, Luo Xiaoqiao left.

The people looked at this magnificent farmhouse courtyard and were a little stunned. Looking at the cloth and food that was distributed, I secretly decided that such a good master must do a good job.

The movement of the Luo family buying people is really not small, and the villagers all saw it and couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

"Why did Little Joe buy so many people? How much money does it take to raise this", there was that enthusiastic discussion.

Han said: "I only earned a few bucks, so I learned to enjoy it like a master in the city, and there were times when she cried."

"Oh, Xiao Qiao said in the morning that he wanted to recruit people, he has his own people, won't he not recruit them?"

The village chief listened to it in the crowd, and he was a little bottomless, his two sons worked here in Luo Xiaoqiao, and they got back a tael of silver in a short time, and he was still thinking that his eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and he had to prepare money for his grandson to study.

Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to play haha, and left a little worried.
