Chapter 256: The Way of the World

The man jumped over in a rage, and the wooden crutch hit me, and I flashed it, and the wooden crutch hit the table, and the dilapidated table top was smashed into cracks.

The hostess with the child on her back heard the movement, walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands with a blue apron, looked at us in surprise and asked, "What's the matter, what is this?" ”

The man snorted, his eyes did not leave the tattered table at all, and he could see that he was distressed, but his tone was still very hard: "This kid scolds, I will teach him a lesson." ”

I also snorted at him with contempt, and said indignantly: "My mother can pull me up alone, you have hands and feet, young and strong, and you even sell your children for food, this food can be swallowed, and you are still qualified to use the word lesson with me?" ”

"What's wrong with me selling my own child? Did I steal or rob? Pointing fingers at you with your pretense? The man's voice was high, his neck was bruised, and a pair of blood-colored eyes were almost falling out.

"Heh, I'm convinced that this kind of immoral thing is justified, and you don't open your eyes to see how those animals take care of their children, and then look at you, is your behavior worse than pigs and dogs!" My voice was not low, and I almost screamed.

At this time, we are like two fighting cocks who have just entered the battlefield, staring at each other and not convincing each other, just waiting for an order and then teaching each other a lesson.

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

The child on the woman's back was crying, and the woman had to take off the harness and hold the child in her arms, trembling the child and persuading: "You are in charge, say less!" ”

"Get out of the way."

The man was furious, and the wooden crutches came again, and I rushed over Baotou regardless of my own safety, only to hear a "poof" The man was pushed to the ground by me.

The man was furious, and he opened his teeth and claws to spin the stick, only to hear a "bang", and the hostess's head was hit, and a little crimson flowed down his forehead.

"Mom!"

Seeing this, the little girl also helped her mother to pull the fight, crying and saying, "Uncle, don't fight, my mother's head is bleeding." ”

At this point the man and I stopped, realizing my rudeness, and I let go of the man, and the little girl was still crying, "Don't fight, just sell me." ”

"Hey!"

The man glanced at his daughter, and hit himself with his fists on his short legs, and the hostess put the child on the ground to stop the man's self-harm.

For a while, there were cries and chaos in the dilapidated thatched hut, and I said with some remorse: "It was all my fault just now, and I will compensate you for the loss." But it is your duty to be a parent and raise your children, so shouldn't you think about how your parents raised you? Are all books read in vain? ”

Speaking of which, I remembered a newspaper about a college student who threw his newborn child into the trash, panting heavily, but it was not good to have a seizure.

"The eldest brother smiled that since ancient times, poetry and books have been learned by the children of rich families, and where can we ordinary people read books. However, we also understand what the eldest brother said, but the imperial court's taxes are rising year by year, and we are forced to build the Great Wall today and build a house tomorrow, and we are also forced to have no choice! The hostess choked up.

As soon as I heard that the pot had to be carried by the court, I found a crystal clear pearl the size of a fingernail in my pocket, which I had picked up in the white tomb, and I wanted to take it out and sell it privately.

"Ahem, this should be worth a lot of money to you, so don't think about selling your daughter."

I took the pearl in my hand and put it on the table, to be honest, I was a little distressed, you know, it was a little treasure that I had worked so hard to pick up.

Seeing this, the husband and wife looked at each other, and the man got up from the ground and said, "How can this be done?" Although I haven't read any books, I also know the truth that nothing is worthless, and this thing is worth a lot of money, and our family really doesn't have any extra money to find you. ”

"No need to look for it, it's not mine anyway."

After saying that, I felt that they didn't look at me right, so I changed my tone and said, "I mean I don't have any cash on me to give you, and I will help your family if I have more." ”

"No, no, it's too precious! I've seen this thing as a royal tribute called Nanzhu, and I heard that one can be exchanged for a family's rations for a month! ”

The man's eyes were shining as he spoke, and I wanted to take it back and take a good look at it, after all, I hadn't had time to take a good look at this treasure from the moment I put it in my pocket.

Of course, I was embarrassed to take it back, smacking my lips and saying, "Whatever it takes to make him Nanzhu and Beizhu, as long as it is enough for you." ”

The man smiled, looked at it in his hand, put it away, and said, "In this way, Engong, you can take our family Man'er away, so that I can feel at ease." ”

", if I give you money, it's not that I won't let you sell your daughter, you still don't want to die?"

As I spoke, I raised my fist again, but the sleeve was pulled by the little girl, and I turned around: "You let go, see if I don't kill him today." ”

The girl didn't dare not let go, but her body knelt down, hugged my leg tightly and said, "Uncle, you can take me away." ”

Listening to the girl's cry, my heart softened again, and my eyes flashed to find that there was still an old woman lying in the room, the old woman had a yellow face and thin muscles, and her mouth was half open, and she was panting weakly.

The hostess saw it and hurriedly explained: "This is the old mother of the family, her asthma has been incurable for many years, Man'er will be sold sooner or later with us, and Engong will pity our child and take her away." ”

Saying that, the lady also knelt down with the child in her arms, I don't know what disaster their family is facing, so they want to sell their daughter again and again.

But I knew that I would not be able to take his daughter away, because I was now penniless, and I had not yet settled my own food and drink, and I would definitely be looking for death with a child.

Thinking of this, I ruthlessly pushed this little girl away, and ran away without looking back, not because I was ruthless but because I didn't belong to this world!

I ran for two miles in one breath before I stopped, and exhausted I found a stone step to sit down and rest, followed by the protest of "gurgling" in my stomach.

I tightened my trouser belt, and I felt in my pocket and didn't have a penny, I only hated Yang Xin and they were arguing too much, so I had to wrap up some plates! Thinking of this, I regretted giving them that pearl, otherwise I would have taken it to the pawnshop for some money and could buy a few big white steamed buns to eat.

"Uncle?"

A familiar voice startled me into a cold sweat, and when I turned my head, the little girl was in front of me, I got up and wanted to run but was hugged by the little girl's legs, and I was a little embarrassed to say "Why do you keep following me?" I can't support myself, how can I take you? Do you think that if you follow me, you will be able to eat and drink well and not go hungry? ”
