Chapter Seventy-Two: The Kindest Child in the World
"Auntie...... Auntie and grandmother. Seeing that there was suddenly no helper by his side, the pompous young man hurriedly put down his arrogance, and kept begging Xia Yan for mercy, "Take that girl away, I must not even let out a fart, please raise your noble hand and let me go." ”
"Huh." Xia Yan smiled disdainfully, the strength on his feet increased, and he twisted it a few times by the way, "I said that I had to go through your consent to take her away, who gave you such a big face?" ”
"No, no." The pompous young man only felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his face, and the pain made him breathless, "Grandma, you are free, you are free." ”
"Let me let you go." Xia Yan smiled evilly, "You must promise me three conditions." ”
Hearing that the matter was negotiable, the pompous young man hurriedly curryed favor and said, "Auntie, you say, I will definitely agree." ”
"First, after you go back, you are not allowed to seek revenge; Second, when I see the three of us in the future, we will walk around; Third, it is not allowed to abuse women in the future, not at any age. Her expression turned cold, "If you dare to violate any of these three conditions, what awaits you will no longer be stepped on by me." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I swear to God." The pompous young man stretched out his finger to the sky, "If any of these conditions are violated, I will not be able to die a good death." ”
"That's what you said, I wrote it down." Xia Yan let go of his foot and kicked him hard on the ass again, "Don't get out of here!" ”
"Hey, get out." Saying that, the pompous young man got up from the ground with difficulty, and even his followers didn't care about shouting, and limped away with his buttocks covered.
"Young master, young master......" Seeing that their young masters had fled, there was no need for these little guys to stay, so they hurriedly endured the severe pain and chased after them.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed.
"This girl, your life-saving grace, Xiaoyu is unforgettable." The girl walked up to Xia Yan and saluted and thanked her.
"Little sister, you're welcome." Xia Yan smiled sweetly, "We will be a family in the future, thank you." ”
"Family?" The girl was stunned, "Girl, do you really want to buy me?" ”
"Of course, how can you regret what you just said?"
"This ......," the girl was speechless for a moment, and fell silent.
I thought that this girl was just kind for a while, and casually said to help her out, but I didn't expect it to be serious.
However, is it really good for someone like her to be someone else's sister?
"Little sister, don't you want to?" Seeing that the girl was suddenly silent, Xia Yan asked curiously.
"It's not." After hesitating for a moment, the girl opened her mouth and asked, "Girl, are you sure you want to buy me back to be my sister?" ”
"Of course, it's hard to chase a horse."
"Why?"
"I have an older brother but no older sister, so I wonder what it's like to have a sister." Xia Yan pursed her lips aggrievedly, "But it's impossible for my mother to give birth to a sister for me, so I have to find one myself." ”
Hearing Xia Yan's answer, the girl sneered, thinking that this little girl was very cute, but thinking that her doubts had not been dispelled, she continued to ask, "Then why me?" ”
"Little sister, you're beautiful." Xia Yan smiled brightly, "I like it very much." ”
The girl's face flushed, but she thought that one day she would be shy because of a little girl's praise.
She suddenly felt that it would be a good choice to follow the little girl back, but ......
Xia Yan saw her hesitation and asked, "Little sister, are you really unwilling?" ”
"Nope." The girl was blessed and introduced herself, "My name is Jiang Xiaoyu, a native of Luozhou, because my father was killed by an opponent, my family fell into the middle of the road, and I fled with my father here. Unexpectedly, my father suddenly fell seriously ill a few days ago and passed away, but the coils on our bodies had already been spent, and there was no silver to bury my father. Xiaoyu really had no choice but to sell himself to bury his father. ”
Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's statement, Xia Yan knew in his heart, but he still asked with some curiosity: "Since the young lady is in a hurry to use the money, why did she put forward those three conditions?" ”
"Although my Jiang family is not a famous family in Luozhou, it can be regarded as a family with a head and a face, how can I be willing to be a concubine, and how can I be willing to change from a good family to a slave, and I will never be able to turn over. As for absolute freedom......" Jiang Xiaoyu seemed to have decided something, and looked at Xia Yan with a firm gaze, "From the day my family was destroyed, I made up my mind that I must make those who cheated my father pay. This freedom, naturally, is so that I can go back and take revenge at any time. ”
"Girl, are you still willing to buy me back after hearing this?" Jiang Xiaoyu, who had explained everything to Xia Yan, looked at Xia Yan expectantly and asked.
"Of course." Xia Yan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, "I have always been good at talking. ”
To Xia Yan's surprise, Jiang Xiaoyu just looked at the silver ticket in Xia Yan's hand, but didn't reach out to take it.
"Little sister, are you too much?" Xia Yan stretched his hand forward, "Didn't you say okay, I'll pay double the price, take it." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "After burying my father with this hundred taels, the rest is enough for me to go back to Luozhou." If I take it, I will immediately go back and take revenge. Now that my father has left me, Xiaoyu has no worries, even if he fights for his life, he will let those people pay for my family's life. This time, the little fish may never come back. Girl, your hundred taels are in vain. ”
"It's fine." Xia Yan didn't wait for her to say anything more, and directly put the silver ticket in her hand, "You just treat me as a lot of money and burn it." ”
"You ......" Jiang Xiaoyu held the silver ticket tightly in his hand, biting his lip and saying nothing.
She originally thought that although this Qin County is vast and has many people, the business is not developed, and there must not be many people who can spend a lot of money to buy people.
I thought that I would bury my father with fifty taels first, and then find a way to earn it when I returned to Luozhou.
But what I didn't expect was that even the people here in fifty taels felt that she wanted too much.
Maybe she's not worth the price.
But her father has worked hard all his life, but he ended up like this, which is really regrettable.
She just wanted to make him a good coffin after he went, so as to comfort his spirit in heaven.
I thought that my hope was about to fail, but this little girl appeared like a god, not only saved her, but also relieved her urgent need, this kindness ......
Thinking of this, she suddenly knelt down and looked at Xia Yan with tears in her eyes: "I, Jiang Xiaoyu, swear to the sky, if my life is still alive after the revenge, then the rest of my time will belong to the girl, and I will never betray the girl." If this oath is violated, the sky will thunder. ”
"Okay, I know everything, I don't need to swear such a poisonous oath." Xia Yan hurriedly pulled her up from the ground, "Little sister, go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Xiaoyu wiped her tears and asked, "Please tell the girl her name and address, and when Xiaoyu comes back, she will definitely come to the door to fulfill her promise." ”
Xia Yan grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth: "Bianxi Village, Xia Yan." ”
After sending Jiang Xiaoyu away, it was getting late, and the tooth shop had already closed, so the brother and sister could only return to the inn first.
"Brother, what do you think of that young lady?" On the way back to the inn, Xia Yan chatted with Xia Huai.
"Two words, hypocrisy."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Yan felt curious, he really didn't expect Xia Huai to comment on someone like this.
"If you really want to sell yourself, why would you make such a request, since you are really desperate, why do you have to hold a shelf."
"Maybe she regards her identity and reputation as more important, after all, if she is a concubine, she will be controlled by her wife, and if she signs a deed of sale, she will be a slave."
"That being the case, why did she sell herself, if she really had the backbone, why didn't she earn money to bury her father?" Xia Huai suddenly raised his voice and said loudly.
"You're right." Xia Yan smiled, "But what does she have to do to earn enough money to bury her father?" Brother, don't forget, she doesn't look as old as you. There is no strength, no martial arts, and no one will reuse a little girl who is not yet ten years old. ”
Xia Huai didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say angrily: "Anyway, she is hypocritical, such a person, even if she buys it home, she can only serve as a master." I don't know why you bought her, so you're not afraid that she will cheat you out of your money and walk away? ”
"I just don't think she's the average person." Xia Yan smiled slightly, "If I was deceived by her, I would just throw it into the water as money, but if it is true, I will be considered to have done a good deed." And I have a hunch that she will definitely come back. ”
"Hey." Xia Huai, who was made by his sister and didn't know what to say, could only sigh, "Just your kindness." ”
Xia Yan suddenly covered his cheeks and pretended to be shy: "Of course, I am the kindest child in the world, so kind that I am reluctant to step on an ant." ”
"Uh......" Xia Huai heard her say this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart: I don't know who trampled on the soles of my feet just now.
Early the next morning, the mother and son followed the good route they explored yesterday and came to Yaxing.
"Yo, madam, take the young master and the young lady to go shopping?" The little guy in Yaxing saw that although he was dressed ordinarily, he had an extraordinary temperament, and hurriedly received him warmly.
"Hmm." Yan looked around and felt that this tooth shop looked quite formal, so he nodded and said, "I want to buy some subordinates, do you have a suitable one here?" ”
"Look at what you said, madam, we are a tooth shop here, a place dedicated to buying and selling people, naturally there are plenty of goods, you can choose." The little servant smiled flatteringly, "I don't know what you need, madam?" ”
"Maid, porter, rough maid, cook."
After speaking, Yan Shi thought for a while, looked down at Xia Yan and asked, "Yan'er, what kind of people do you need?" ”
"Mother, I also need a scholar and a bookkeeper."
