Lin Xiaozhu paused, but turned around and looked at the Qin clan who came closer.

"You...... Go all the way. Take good care of yourself. My aunt has a bad temper, don't hold a grudge. Qin looked at Lin Xiaozhu with complicated eyes. This child has been at her house for half a year. In the past six months, she has been disgusting with this child all the time. But this time she really left, and she suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"Hmm." Lin Xiaozhu glanced at Xia Chunyan, saw that her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, and responded softly, turned around and trotted a few steps, and followed Xia Shan, who was walking behind.

Xia Shan turned his head to look at her, then turned his face away, and went his own way.

saved her yesterday summer, and today the two were sold to the same strange place, which can be regarded as a fateful connection; And this guy is still strong, maybe he will be able to take care of her at any time, so Lin Xiaozhu decided to do a good job of emotional investment in advance, turned his head and called "Brother Xia Shan", and gave her a sweet smile.

When Xia Shan saw this smile, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then turned his head expressionlessly, no longer looking at Lin Xiaozhu.

Hey, that's pretty cool! Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. Xia Shan hurried away next, ignoring Lin Xiaozhu.

After turning half the mountain, the big man who was sent by the young man caught up and whispered in the young man's ear for a while, the young man nodded, looked at Lin Xiaozhu a few times, covered his mouth and coughed gently.

"Childe, why don't you let them carry you on your back." Goatee looked at the boy worriedly.

"No, you don't." The boy waved his hand and continued on his way. His body is thin, and he coughs a few times from time to time, but his physical strength is very good, climbing mountains is like walking on the ground, no worse than those big men, and he is obviously also a martial arts practitioner. And Xia Shan is like a calf, with a strong body, and he is usually used to going up the mountain, so he doesn't feel hard to keep up. Only Lin Xiaozhu, although she has done a lot of things in chopping wood and doing laundry, but when it comes to hard work, she can't even compare to a finger of others. Coupled with the one hundred and ninety copper coins she was carrying, although she didn't feel heavy at first, but now, she felt that a straw was pressing her across. After only following them over a mountain, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely.

"Let's take a break." The young man turned his head to look at Lin Xiaozhu and spoke.

"Childe, if you can't make it to the col before dark, I'm afraid it's not safe to spend the night here. Besides, if you don't get there, they don't know what the hurry will be, and then they will have to send someone out to find us. Goatee said.

The young man looked at the mountain peak in front of him, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu again, and said to Ah Wei: "You carry her for a ride." ”

"No, no, no." Lin Xiaozhu waved his hand again and again and said to the young man, "I can go." "She is twelve years old this year, and although she is thin, she is also seventy or eighty pounds. Carrying her up the mountain was not an easy task. Besides, her mental age is also in her twenties, and it is really awkward to have a strange big man on her back.

The young man glanced at Lin Xiaozhu and looked at her a few times: "Where's your money?" "It stands to reason that when one or two hundred copper coins are carried around on the body, there will always be a sound, but Lin Xiaozhu has nothing superfluous on his body, and he has not heard the tinkling of copper coins.

"What for?" Lin Xiaozhu became vigilant. That's the money she sold herself, after leaving the mountain, she either ran away, or ransomed herself, that's what she did, and she lived and died.

Looking at Lin Xiaozhu's vigilant eyes like a little beast, the young man raised his eyebrows: "Let Ah Wei help you hold the copper coin, you will be more relaxed." ”

"Don't." Lin Xiaozhu covered his stomach.

The boy glanced at her bulging belt, raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to continue walking, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then another mountain was climbed. Lin Xiaozhu had not eaten enough, and his physical strength was overdrawn at this time, and his legs trembled when he walked. But she gritted her teeth, insisted on it, and didn't miss half a step. The boy and the goatee looked in their eyes and nodded secretly. Although qualifications are important, if the qualifications are good, but there is no perseverance, and you can't endure hardships, no matter how good the qualifications are, it will be in vain; On the contrary, a child like Lin Xiaozhu has such a hard work and tenacity, there is really nothing that cannot be done.

"Here, eat this." The young man took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Lin Xiaozhu.

Seeing the goatee's face of surprise, looking at the young man's desire to speak and stop, as if he wanted to dissuade but didn't dare, Lin Xiaozhu knew that this was not an ordinary thing, although he took it in his hand, he raised his eyes and looked at the young man: "What is this?" ”

"Tonic, replenish physical strength, eat it. will make you feel better. After the young man finished speaking, he took a gourd from Ah Wei and handed it to Lin Xiaozhu.

Lin Xiaozhu wanted to do it, but if he delayed everyone's trip because of himself, so that everyone could not get to the place before dark, and experienced danger in the mountains and forests, the consequences would be even more inappropriate. She didn't shirk anymore and smiled at the young man: "Thank you." "Tilt your neck and take the medicine.

Sure enough, not long after taking this pill, there was a feeling of heat under her abdomen. The feeling grew stronger and stronger, and she felt that her stomach was no longer hungry, and her legs were stronger, and she finally supported herself to climb over three mountains before it was dark, and reached the place where they had to go—a col.

They only walked down the hill when they heard someone shouting from a distance: "Childe, you are back, I am afraid of death." Immediately after, a group of people came up to meet him.

Lin Xiaozhu saw clearly that these people were all wearing gorgeous clothes, and there were a group of big men standing behind them, and there were more than a dozen people together. Further on, in the meadows of the col, stood twenty or thirty children of her size, both male and female, but with a larger proportion of boys. Everyone was holding a withered branch in their hands, standing there looking at the young man who was surrounded by everyone, and their eyes were a little stunned.

"Put down the firewood, come here, and salute the son. From now on, Childe will be your master. A man in fine clothes walked up to the middle of the grass and said loudly.

The children all put down the firewood and gathered over, followed the man's movements, knelt down unevenly, and kowtowed to the boy. Lin Xiaozhu stood behind the young man, pretending to be not in the same group as those opposite, and did not move. In ancient times, hunger and cold were combined. Now that she has sold herself as a slave, she naturally will not be naïve to think that in her later life, she can still have the dignity she used to have, tell her master what "everyone is equal", and keep her knees and back straight. She just didn't want to be too noticeable. Just now, in order to be able to go out of the mountain with these people, she couldn't help but behave very smartly. But now that the goal has been achieved, it is better to hide it slowly and behave stupidly. Only by not attracting attention can she find a chance to escape. Besides, the situation is unclear, and it is not known what these people bought them for. It's not a good thing to be too prominent, and you might die faster.

Of course, if Xia Shan wants to go out and kneel, she has to go out with her. Thinking of this, she looked at Xia Shan with her spare eyes.

Xia Shan looked at the children who were obviously just bought like himself kneeling, looking very hesitant, not knowing what he should do properly. But when he turned his head and saw Lin Xiaozhu motionless, he pursed his lips and didn't move.
