When Goatee saw a bowl of porridge go down, Childe seemed to be in good spirits, and his mood relaxed. Seeing that Gongzi nodded in agreement, he grinned and said to Lin Xiaozhu: "Okay, accept you." ”

"Huh?" Everyone in the village looked at Lin Xiaozhu in surprise, "This is accepted?" Doesn't it mean that the qualifications are bad? ”

"According to me, they will never suffer a loss when they buy small bamboo. Such a sensible and well-behaved child is very capable of doing anything. ”

Aunt Liu looked at Lin Xiaozhu and said with relief: "Alas, this kid has finally come out." ”

"Master, ah no, childe." Qin Shi heard the goatee's words, and had long forgotten the situation when he was glaring at him just now, squeezed a few steps, and sneered at the young man: "That, you look at my little bamboo, she is beautiful, she is diligent and sensible, and she also cooks good dishes." Look, can you give more money? Fifty dollars more, fifty dollars, okay? ”

"Whew!" Goatee glared at him, "You woman, you are greedy. Buy her, I still see her being mistreated by you. If you want to raise money, there is no door. ”

The fourth woman was afraid that the Qin clan would still obstruct it at this time, so she hurriedly said: "Dazhu's daughter-in-law, with her small bamboo land, she will definitely make a lot of money when she goes outside the mountain." When the time comes, you will be blessed. ”

"Not really. If you want to say a few more words, if people don't buy it, I see you rejoicing. Aunt Liu scoffed.

Qin glanced at Aunt Liu and snorted from his nose: "It's real when you get the money." Who knows? After speaking, he turned to the goatee, but his attitude was not as respectful as before, "This lord, you see, the porridge your son-in-law eats is fragrant." This porridge is filled with glutinous rice, brown sugar, ginger, and vinegar, and that's all money. Besides, the porridge made by my Xiaozhu is so good, wouldn't it be good to buy her and serve this son's porridge every day? It's just fifty more than fifty wen, isn't it? It's worth the money. ”

She has a spicy personality, but she is not stupid. But seeing it, this son seems to like Lin Xiaozhu and likes to drink her porridge. Otherwise, knowing that Lin Xiaozhu did not meet their requirements, he still asked her to cook porridge. And this porridge is cooked, and the bite by bite is really delicious. Coupled with what Lin Xiaozhu said about learning, she dared to guarantee that with another fifty yuan, the deal would still be negotiated.

Goatee looked at Qin's fearlessness, with a smug look, and his breath was stuck in his throat, staring at her speechless.

He could also see that Childe was interested in this little girl and was very willing to buy her. It's himself, and he has been in the mountains for a few years, and he has never seen such a smart and beautiful little girl. If such a girl buys it back, even if she can't practice kung fu and can't succeed, she puts it in her own house to be a girl, which is good. Two hundred and fifty wen, this price, placed outside the mountain, even if you sign a living deed, it is more than this money.

can be pinched by a wicked woman in a mountain village, which really makes him angry.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xiaozhu's crisp voice helped the goatee to relieve him. She took a step forward, looked at the goatee and asked, "I want to ask, what did you do when you bought us out of the mountain?" ”

This question is not only about the goatee and the big man; It was the young man who also raised his black and bright eyes and looked at Lin Xiaozhu squarely. They went through many villages, and when the villagers and peasant women heard that they had 200 yuan, and then heard that Li Zheng was also selling children, they thought it was a good thing, and just sent the children to them, without asking what they were doing. And those children, not to mention, were stunned in front of them. Where is like this little girl, who knows to ask questions before deciding his fate.

The appreciation in the goatee's eyes was even greater. He was softened a lot by Qin's angry face, smiled, and said softly: "Buy you and send you to learn the craft; After learning, he went to other people's homes to be a servant, washing and cooking to serve the young ladies and gentlemen. Not only do you eat well and dress well, but you also have money every month. If you do a good job, the young ladies will give you a reward. ”

Knowing that he was not suitable for martial arts, Lin Xiaozhu knew that if they bought her, they would not let her be a dead soldier. So the answer of the goatee was in her expectation. Hearing the goatee's words, she asked, "Is it a slave for life?" ”

As soon as these questions were asked, the young man and the goatee looked at Lin Xiaozhu intently. This little girl is different in every way. At first, the two only thought that this little girl was cute and smart, but the question just now made them wonder - can a little girl who has never seen the world in a mountain village ask such a question?

As soon as Lin Xiaozhu saw their gaze, he knew that he was asking out of line. But it's about her whole life, this question, she has to ask. But in order to make amends, she explained: "My grandfather once said that outside the mountains, people are slaves, and some of them can go home after a few years; Some have to do it for a lifetime. I want to ask, if I sell it to you, which one? ”

"Your grandfather?" Goatee set his sights on Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu hurriedly testified: "Xiaozhu's grandfather is the only one of us here who has ever been out of the mountains and is the most knowledgeable. ”

"Oh, no wonder!" Goatee's expression relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said patiently to Lin Xiaozhu: "Sell it to us, you will do it for a lifetime." You've got to think about it. ”

Lin Xiaozhu frowned: "Then can't you buy yourself back?" This time she spoke much more carefully, trying to make her language conform to that of an ignorant little girl from a mountain village.

The young man kept staring at Lin Xiaozhu, his dark and bright eyes, like a deep pool in the dark night, deep and mysterious, making people wonder what he was thinking. When asked at this time, he said: "If you do things in line with the master's wishes, please the master, and let you go, it is not impossible." "The sound is clear, like the sound of the water flowing in a mountain stream, which is extremely pleasant.

It's not impossible, it's also difficult. Not only will he be someone else's slave all his life, but the children he will give birth to in the future will also be the children of other people's families. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaozhu couldn't help but hesitate.

"Xiaozhu, don't be confused." Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu was still hesitating, Aunt Liu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice, "If you don't go with them, you will have to be sold to Hejiaao." You don't know what it's like there. Many families only have one quilt, and the food is basically wild vegetables. Some families are so poor that the whole family only has one pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears it. I am ready to buy your house, and I can come up with more than 200 yuan, I heard that I sold the girl's baby outside the mountain in exchange for it. A family of four brothers plans to marry such a daughter-in-law. You don't know the customs in the mountains, and it's not uncommon to share a daughter-in-law. Being sold there, you can only lie in bed and give birth to babies one by one. You have to do whatever you want. None of the four men were vegetarians. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu raise his eyes to look at her, he said, "You are not suitable for practicing kung fu, but people still want to buy you." For what? It's not that you are pitiful. It can be seen that these people have good hearts. Follow them, and you can't afford to lose. Besides, no matter how difficult it is, can it be difficult to go to Hejiaao? ”

Aunt Liu's words were whispered in Lin Xiaozhu's ear, and even the Qin family, which was the closest, didn't hear what was said. But when Aunt Liu said "sharing a daughter-in-law", the young man's brows furrowed slightly, and he cast a disgusted look at the Qin family.

Oh, yes. Although he was sold into slavery, at least life will be better than it is now, right? If she doesn't follow these people now, then she, a twelve-year-old girl, will really not be able to resist and be forcibly sold to Hejiaao, which will be worse than death. When you get out of the mountain, can't you still find a way to get out?

Thinking like this, Lin Xiaozhu raised his head and was about to speak, but the Qin clan was impatient to listen, pulled her back, and said, "Okay, don't say so much, hurry up." The son-in-law and the old man still have to hurry. After speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of the goatee, "Two hundred and fifty." ”
