Chapter 17: Falling into a Dream II

We walked forward, obviously not far away, but after walking for a long time, we could not get close, and the woman was always in front, in good shape. Flowers fell like snowflakes, and it was quiet and tranquil all around. As we walked, there was no sound of rustling in our footsteps.

Of course, this is a dream, not a reality.

Lei Fang turned his head to look around, the flowers were like the sea, and the bees and butterflies were flying.

"Where is there such a beautiful place? I can't dream of it! ”

"Isn't this just a dream?" I whispered, but I had some doubts.

This dream is coming in, but how to get out?

Will we not be able to get out of this dream until Lei Fang has slept enough and wakes up?

Who the hell is this guy in front of?

I didn't see my face, and I was sure that I didn't know each other, but I felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of my heart.

A vague thought welled up in my mind.

Isn't this Lei Fang's dream, it's my dream?

I was puzzled by this thought for a moment.

Did I get into her dream, or did she get into mine?

"Hey, that girl up front!" Lei Fang shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

The man stopped and seemed to turn his head to look.

Lei Fang happily pulled me and ran forward, and we were about to come to us, when suddenly the wind rose, and the man's skirt fluttered like petals, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

"Ahh Lei Fang was startled, and then remembered that this was not true, but in a dream, he patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death, and suddenly I disappeared, and I thought it was haunted." ”

"In my dreams, it's not strange that the sea cracks and landslides."

"Yes, yes." Lei Fang grinned, she raised her hand to touch me, and said a little strangely: "I can touch it, it's not a phantom." I said, are we both real or fake? ”

This one, it's just like our illusions. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and there are three points of truth in seven points of falsehood.

The scene in the dream never comes out of thin air, and it is always inextricably linked to reality.

"Xiaosheng, where are we going now?"

"Just move on."

Lei Fang took my hand and walked forward, she was half a head taller than me, and her face was indescribably bright when she smiled. I usually don't pay attention to it, but she has also grown into a bright and beautiful girl.

She still lingers in my memory of the summer when we first met, wearing a thick red brocade coat and asking me to paint a portrait under the scorching sun.

Time flies so fast, and before you know it, the years have changed.

There is a bridge in front of us, we cross the bridge and then walk, there is a bustling market town in front of us, full of traffic, very lively. Everything was as it really was, dust was flying in the air, the sun was shining on their heads, and people's faces were oily, ash, and sweaty.

Lei Fang curiously touched the banner of the roadside tea stall and whispered, "It's the same as the real thing." ”

There were two deep ruts in the bluestone underground, and someone drove the donkey past us, and the donkey's tail was deflected, and a bubble of pulled out, almost splashing on our shoes.

"Oops......" Lei Fang hid his nose and dodged to the side: "Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly." ”

We walked a long way before Lei Fang put down his hand and couldn't help laughing: "Really, there are such pickled things in my dreams." She pointed to the front: "Hey, do you think you can eat that?" ”

I turned my head and saw a man selling bread.

Regardless of whether the bread can be eaten or not, I asked her, "Do you have any money?" ”

Lei Fang touched the purse, really took out the money, walked over and bought two cakes, which were filled with osmanthus sugar filling, the cake was just baked, the sugar filling in it was thick like honey, and it was crispy, sweet and fragrant when bitten, and the taste was real and delicious.

The two of us were standing on the street in our dreams and eating bread with relish, and it was a bit ridiculous to think about it.

"It's a good dream." Lei Fang held the cake in his mouth and spoke vaguely: "Usually if I dream of something delicious, I will wake up a moment before I reach my mouth, and I have never really eaten it." She simply finished the cake neatly, patted the crumbs and sesame seeds on her hands: "Let's go, let's go to the front again." ”

Someone behind him said, "Boss, weigh me two catties of salt." ”

It sounded so familiar, I looked back. The girl who was counting the bills seemed to notice that I was looking at her, and looked up at me and smiled.

She didn't look very old, I don't know if she was ten years old, she just had a little girlish appearance, she still had baby fat on her face, her eyebrows and almond eyes, her skin was as white as milk fat, and her black hair was combed into two braids.

My eyes widened in surprise.

This is - Mrs. Bai Wan!

It's my master Bai Wan!

Lei Fang also turned her head, but she obviously didn't recognize my master, although she had seen the portrait, but she was not familiar with my master after all, and now the person in front of her was still young, so it was natural that she couldn't recognize it for a while.

"What's wrong?"

I didn't answer, I watched her finish paying the fish and put the wrapped salt in the basket and turned around and walked away, and hurriedly pulled Lei Fang's hand and followed.

My master stopped and walked in front of her, and bought some daily things, she was articulate, she would bargain for everything she wanted to buy, and she would ask for an additional head when she bought a large quantity. Was Mrs. Bai Wan like this when she was young? It's really flattering.

Lei Fang also came back to his senses at this time: "Hey, I said...... She, isn't she your master? ”

I nodded, not daring to be distracted, and followed her closely.

Further on, there is the market of mules and horses, the smell is not good, and the sound is noisy and chaotic. There were still scattered people at the base of the city wall, all of whom were looking for work to do. There were many people gathered in front of them, not knowing what they were doing, some yelling and some making noise.

Bai Wan's body was flexible and squeezed into the crowd. I pulled Lei Fang and squeezed forward.

In the middle of the crowd was an open space barricaded with straw ropes, and in the straw rope circle stood several men, men and women, old and young, with straw sticks on their heads.

My gaze swept over the men in the middle, not noticing, only turning to pay attention to my master.

Bai Wan stood there and watched.

The one who sold the man struck a broken gong: "Come on, come on, come and see, these people can do their work, now is the season of farming, buy it back and use it now!" ”

Selling people as goods at will, I don't feel very comfortable when I look at it.

I looked carefully, and Bai Wan's face also showed an unbearable expression.

Some idlers who watched the excitement said in the crowd: "Don't blow nonsense, these people are fleeing from the southeast at first glance, and they are so hungry that they can't do it. ”

The guy who sold people was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Eat two full meals and eat one meal, won't you have strength!" The left and right sell cheaply, you hire a day laborer, how much do you get this season? Don't you have to take care of what you eat? It's better to simply buy one, sell it to you for the rest of your life, and live or die, you can do any job. He grabbed a little girl and lifted her chin hard to show people: "Oh, look at this little girl, buy it and go back to the fire to do laundry, hehe, you can still ......" He didn't say the following words: "After a year or two, even if you don't want to keep it, sell her again, this is a good thing to make a profit and not lose money!" ”

When he said this, many people were moved. Someone agreed on a price and paid for the little girl. Others have been bought,

In the end, there were two and a half sizes left, and no one would buy them.

Just kidding, such a big kid can eat as an adult, but he can't do it, and he is the most difficult age to manage. Not to mention the food consumed when you buy it, you may not be able to do the work, and if you run away, or if you have a murderous intention to hurt someone, it will be extremely bad.

The man who sold the man looked at the sky, perhaps wanting to get rid of his hands and leave earlier, and shouted harder. He also wanted to pull the two boys forward to show others, but after a push, the man was already too weak to stand on his feet, and fell to the ground heavily. The other man struggled to help him, but he did not get up, and he fell to the ground.

They must have been hungry for a long time.

The traffickers were in a hurry, kicking and beating them to get them up. The one who fell later was powerless to resist, but he still used his body to cover the one who fell to the ground first, covered his head with his arms, arched his body, and did not retreat even if he was kicked.

The people dispersed a little, and Bai Wan stood there alone, she kept looking at those people, her hand clutching her purse tightly.

She bought a lot of things along the way, and her money bag was not very rich, but now it has become flat, and the inner embarrassment is visible at a glance.

"How much?"

The trafficker gave her an unexpected look: "What did you say?" ”

"These two, how much?"

The man smiled: "Little girl, don't mess with here, if you want to talk about something, call your family to come." ”

"I'll be in charge of my family." She held her head high, the trafficker was twice as tall as her, but in front of her it seemed to be completely suppressed, and instead bent down and bowed his head to her.

"It's cheaper, I'll buy it." She said.

The trafficker was still a little incredulous, and casually quoted a price: "Five dollars!" ”

"Five-run money for one or five-run money for two?"

The price is not high, even if it is five times a dollar, it is extremely cheap.

"Five dollars a piece." He glanced at Bai Wan, "Do you have so much money?" ”

"Cheaper." Bai Wan said.

The trafficker touched his chin: "Yes, if you want both, one is four, and two are a total of eight dollars." ”

Bai Wan looked at the two people who were huddled in the ground and didn't move, and said coldly: "Half-dead, maybe I'll die if I buy it back, and I have to pay for the coffin for nothing." ”

"Little girl, that's not what you say, tell me, how much is a pound of mutton now? Even if these two men cut off the meat and sell it for nothing, it would ......."

I heard it with a wave of disgust, and it was rare to hate a person so much. This trafficker ...... There are not many things called humanity in him.

Bai Wan stretched out a hand: "Five money, two people." ”

She negotiated the price like an adult, and people unconsciously accepted the contempt.

"No!" The trafficker refused: "I have provided them with food and drink all the way, a carriage and a horse, a boat, and a lot of clothes for them, and I have lost a lot of money. I can't get my money back! ”

"It's okay if you don't sell it, these two people are half-dead, and no one else will look at them anymore. You have to go to the next city and continue to sell, and from here to the next place you will have to walk for four or five days at the earliest, and you will have to take food and wrap up in these four or five days. Look at them like this, you still have to spend money to catch them medicine, so if you don't sell it, you will lose money. Bai Wan shook her crossed hand again: "There are already a lot of five runs, so you can simply sell it." ”

I wondered.

This scene...... This scene seems to slowly coincide with something.
