White skin noodles, stewed chicken nuggets, stewed potatoes, these three things make up a large plate of chicken has a wonderful taste experience.

Zhu Hongyu ate one piece after another, and couldn't stop at all.

Jin Yuanjing is the same, but compared to Zhu Hongyu, it is more elegant.

When the two of them were eating and drinking, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in the Central Plains come outside, walking in with a little girl.

Zhu Hongyu didn't seem to be very old when she saw this little girl, and she was only about ten years old.

This girl doesn't look anything special from the little girl in the Central Plains, but this little girl has a straw mark on her head.

Jin Yuanjing saw that Zhu Hongyu had been staring at the girl, and quickly slapped Zhu Hongyu on the head.

"Look at what you see, you don't buy it."

Buy?

Zhu Hongyu felt so unfamiliar with this word for the first time, this little girl actually wanted to use the word "buy", could the child be bought and sold?

By the way, she had bought slaves herself, but it was the first time she had seen the tooth shop sell the child herself.

"It's the first time I've seen anything like this."

As she spoke, Zhu Hongyu waved her hand and asked the middle-aged man to come over with the girl.

Jin Yuanjing just wanted to stop it, but thinking that Zhu Hongyu had always been his own character, where was he willing to let him say. I have no choice but to give up.

The middle-aged man walked over with the little girl and saluted Zhu Hongyu, very polite.

Zhu Hongyu frowned and looked at the little girl, and then looked at the Central Plains man.

She turned to the little girl and asked, "What's your name, and who is this man?" ”

The little girl doesn't look timid, not like an ordinary girl who is sold.

"He's my daddy, and my name is Ya'er."

Yaer?

Zhu Hongyu has always liked to judge a person's origin from a person's name, if this person can name his child "Ya'er", then it is definitely not a simple mud leg.

The middle-aged man saw that Zhu Hongyu wanted to buy a child, and hurriedly pushed the child forward.

"This is my child, called Ya'er, if you like it, give two money, and keep it as a thing."

Zhu Hongyu sighed, thinking about what it means to "raise a thing".

Although the tooth merchant is ruthless, this man is the father of this girl.

"I'm interested in buying it, so sit down and talk."

Saying that, Zhu Hongyu put down the chopsticks, and Jin Yuanjing also put down the chopsticks, after all, the two of them ate almost enough, but there were still a lot of dishes left on the plate.

Xiao Er handed a pair of chopsticks to the father and daughter respectively, and Zhu Hongyu did not forget to tell the store to prepare a quarter more large plate of chicken, plus two white leather noodles.

The father and daughter had long forgotten for a moment that this was a sale or transaction, and they were busy gobbling up chopsticks.

Zhu Hongyu secretly said that she had done evil, and then she didn't know what to say. What is going on?

Jin Yuanjing watched from the sidelines, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.

Soon the father and daughter swept away the leftovers from the table, and after their hunger was relieved, they quickly realized that it was a deal.

Soon, the father took off his daughter's chopsticks and stopped eating them himself, he looked at Zhu Hongyu with panicked eyes, obviously he was thinking about Zhu Hongyu's intentions.

Usually, no one has such a kind intention to make him full of his daughter, which must have another meaning.

Zhu Hongyu smiled when she saw that the two of them stopped eating.

"Why don't you eat it?"

The father hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, don't eat it, it's important to talk about important things." ”

Zhu Hongyu really didn't mean to buy the little girl, she just wanted to hear the story and wonder why a father would let his daughter be sold willingly, and he could endure his own pain and call his daughter a "thing".

"I always buy things to ask if the goods are coming from the right way, and the gentleman is not good under the dangerous wall, and I don't want to suffer danger. Say a thousand things and ten thousand, what is the origin of this girl? ”

The father let out a long sigh and looked at his girl with a look of embarrassment.

He looked at Zhu Hongyu again and said, "My girl is not coming in the right way, so I won't delay you." As for your meal money......"

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly made a "pause" gesture to tell the father to stop talking.

"I'm really not in the mood to ask you for food, but in exchange, you want to tell me a story about what happened to your family, why did you fall to the point of selling your children?"

The father looked at his children and the scraps he had eaten, and he knew that Zhu Hongyu was a person with special hobbies, and he liked them to tell stories to poor people.

Whether it's okay or not, what's wrong with changing the money for a meal?

"It's been a long story, it was last year. Our family itself is an official eunuch in Liangzhou City, and my father is a county official in the county government. I have been taking the imperial examination for 30 years, but I still haven't won the examination, and I am still a showman. ”

Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, such a family is not bad, how could it be reduced to such a situation today?

"In my opinion, such a family is more than enough than the upper and lower after all, how can it be reduced to such a field?"

I saw that this man suddenly gritted his teeth and remembered some painful memories.

"I don't want to fall into such a field, but who would have thought, Lu Mingci suddenly returned to his hometown and held an important position. The father of the family is indeed a little unclean, who thinks about it but has become a typical example of others, so the family is in the middle, this Lu Mingci is too ruthless, the men in our family can be released, but the women have to be all official prostitutes, how can I let my daughter become a rotten thing? I'd rather let her be sold for no apparent reason, and die herself. ”

Zhu Hongyu sighed deeply, she looked at the child on the side, and remembered that she had a little relationship with Lu Ming.

I don't know if this relationship between her can become a talisman to protect the father and daughter?

"What's your name?" Zhu Hongyu looked at the father.

"My name is Zhou Jun."

Zhou Jun?

Hey, it's also a good name, fathers all hope that their children can be good, but the final result is that children have their own destiny, and no one's life can be spent smoothly and steadily.

"Zhou Jun, do you know the journey from Wu to Guanzhong?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "I naturally know that when I don't show off my talents, I run to supplement my family, and I actually earn a lot more money than studying, but my father thinks it's a small skill of carving insects." I know everyone from Liangzhou to Guanzhong, and even Bianjing. ”

Zhu Hongyu knew that if she mentioned that she knew Lu Mingci at this time, she was afraid that she would cause a circle of unpleasantness.

"That's it, I still have a little thin noodles in Liangzhou, I am willing to take you and your daughter out of the customs, and I am also willing to take you home to take care of some housework for me. Payroll is paid monthly. I am a native of Yunmeng Town, Ganzhou, if your family often runs goods, you must know this place. ”

Zhou Jun thought about it for a while, at this time he felt that he was dreaming, he would not have thought that he would have such good luck now, so that his daughter could find a good home, and even this home could be accompanied by him.

Soon, Zhu Hongyu also thought of the inappropriateness of this suggestion.

"Of course, this plan is risky, that is, you will never be able to return to Liangzhou, and you can also choose to take us into customs and then turn back. You do this at your own risk. ”

Zhou Jun hurriedly stopped Zhu Hongyu's words, his eyes were already full of tears.

"Girl, though I don't know how much of your words are true and how much is false. But you can do that, I'm satisfied. If it weren't for the death of my wife, how would I dare to come out and sell my daughter? I'm penniless now, and I'm certainly willing to go with you. If you can let me go to Ganzhou, I can still be with my hard-working Ya'er. ”

Jin Yuanjing hurriedly stopped Zhu Hongyu and said, "Hongyu, have you forgotten that you are going to Bianjing on the third day of the first lunar month?" In case of...... You said you were carrying ......"

As he spoke, Jin Yuanjing glanced at Ya'er with his eyes.

According to Zhou Jun, his daughter is a sinner, and he was let go by Lu Mingci, so even if he is taken out of the customs, he can't take his daughter out of the customs.

What if it's checked?

Zhu Hongyu naturally understood Jin Yuanjing's worries.

"What you worry about, I worry about too. It's just that I think...... There are some things that I can't stand watching. For a long time, I thought that Lu Mingci was the master of punishing evil and promoting good, but now...... The more I know about him, the more I think there are things that need to be reminded of him. ”

Zhu Hongyu said in a very low voice, she didn't need to be too loud to prove her determination.

Jin Yuanjing is really convinced, how can he follow Zhu Hongyu into the customs, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the customs in this life.

He also said that he would go to Bianjing before the third day of the first lunar month? If this trend continues, I am afraid that on the third day of the first lunar month, I am afraid that I will not even be able to go to Xijing Chang'an!

I'm going to die!

"Hongyu, there is no turning back when you open the bow, we have decided to leave today, have you forgotten about this?"

"I told you you had to find a guide, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the desert. If not, can you find another guide? ”

Jin Yuanjing was completely sure that he could find another guide, but when he looked at Zhu Hongyu's stubborn eyes, he believed that Zhu Hongyu would not be able to use others anymore.

"Okay, whatever you want."

After speaking, Jin Yuanjing sat in his original position, didn't say a word, and only looked at the father and daughter viciously.

At this time, the father and daughter were also very helpless, whoever let them wear a guilty body, whether they could go out or not, they were all sorry for Zhu Hongyu.

Soon, Zhu Hongyu paid for the meal.

A group of four people led the camels, first adding the belongings of the other two people along the way, water is as important as the location of food, and among the things that Zhu Hongyu bought, water was cited the most.

After returning to the inn, Jin Yuanjing and Zhou Jun packed up the things that entered the customs together, while Zhu Hongyu found some paint on the spot and put makeup on the girl's face.

The painting is that Ya'er's father doesn't know his own girl, and Zhu Hongyu is five points sure that she can take the girl out.

This time is also a little late. This is the most suitable temperature in the Gobi Desert for travel.

Zhou Jun saw that the time was almost up, so he said to Zhu Hongyu that he could go on the road.
