Chapter 13

The cold wind blew into the carriage, and the curtain was quietly lifted, and Zhu Niang looked at the situation outside in a daze.

It seems to be out of the Twin Horn City, and there are mountains and forests along the way, which is very desolate. The car was so jolting that she woke up several times.

It seems to be sleeping, and it is very uncomfortable.

Last night, the traffickers set off with 10 children. The children were huddled together, and because they were all skinny, they didn't look crowded. Outside the ox cart, two traffickers were driving the cart, one tall and strong, the other relatively thin, hunched up, both of them took off the thick red rope from their heads and pretended to be ordinary peasants.

There were 10 children in the car, and there were only two traffickers.

Last night, Zhu Niang vaguely saw a few other bandits with thick red ropes tied to their heads, a few, less than ten, plus the current two, this gang of bandits who ran to the Double Horn City should also have about ten.

Liuniang cried all day yesterday, and was knocked unconscious because of the attack on human traffickers when she was about to leave. Now she is sleeping soundly, and a hot ball burrows into her arms.

Remembering that she bit down on the human trafficker's arm last night, Zhu Niang's heart is still trembling.

It's okay to sleep.

…………………………………………

"Hey, wake up."

I don't know who pushed Zhu Niang, Zhu Niang woke up in a daze, and saw a big black face that was magnified several times in front of her eyes.

The big black face with a smile was staring at her.

Zhu Niang was really taken aback, and moved back uncomfortably.

The owner with the big black face also stuck out his head and came over: "I'm telling you, that little chatter has been taken down, and it looks like it's already in place." ”

After Er Zhurong finished speaking, he removed his big black face like a smiling cat.

Only then did Zhu Niang realize that there were only three children left in the car who were sitting in the last compartment.

That is, she and the two brothers of the Er family.

Er Zhurong still looked at her with a smile, and Er Zhuqin, as usual, looked coldly in the direction of the car curtain.

Only then did Zhu Niang notice that both brothers had their hands tied. Just now, there were many people and the sight was not good, but now I can see it.

Looking at the red marks on the hands of the brothers, I am afraid that they were tied up when they got into the car.

No wonder...... The two brothers were unusually quiet all the way.

Zhu Niang moved her stiff hands and feet, only to find that her hands were also tied, and they were tied to the bars of the car window, a little away from the brothers.

Zhu Niang was helpless, and rubbed the curtain with her face to look out, but it was a place similar to a vegetable market, and several children, including Liuniang, were lined up and stood on a half-person-high platform, and a group of people gathered under the platform, judging the children who were at a loss on the stage.

It seems that it is in Qingzhou.

…………………………………………

Shi Qigongzi has not had a good time in the past two years.

After my father's death, this unhappiness finally reached its climax.

As the eldest son of the father, he is also the much-loved Shi Qizi of Shifu, who is known to the whole Luoyang.

He didn't get a penny after his father's death.

This result came as a surprise to everyone. Of course, he also includes him as an innocent victim.

And the last words left by the father before his death made Shi Qigongzi have to set up the ambition of becoming rich and noble. Although he has never been a person who is willing to waste his brain on things other than eating, drinking, and having fun. But he was reluctant to let go of the group of beautiful concubines he had finally collected, and he gritted his teeth and had to make money to support his family!

Daddy's last words were: "Qi Nu, this child is a rich and noble character, and he will definitely soar and become famous all over the world in the future!" I don't have to worry about money and other external things, just let him earn it himself. With that, Daddy took his last breath.

Shi Qigongzi didn't know if what his father said was a dying complaint, he only knew that his unhappiness in the past two years seemed to be inseparable from his father.

Since the beginning of autumn last year, because his father and General Wang of Wuyi Lane robbed a famous prostitute in Luoyang, he was transferred out of Luoyang and sent to Qingzhou to be a purchasing envoy.

This errand sounds very good, just hold the money directly allocated by the boss to buy relevant materials during the New Year's holidays, and there is no boss on the surface, so no one cares. But everyone knows that this is an idle job! It's an idle job for those old officials who are old and not easy to retire!

Get him here, to say that it sounds good, is to let him collect his heart and learn serious things, to say that it is ugly, it is a clear punishment!

As the eldest of the Shi family, he didn't catch much of the good things, but this was all like long eyes and posted on him!

Shi Qigongzi went to Qingzhou, and his days were too idle. Dad pinched the money again, and he couldn't go anywhere, he was about to be suffocated.

Fortunately, the Liu Kun brothers, who were friends with him in Luoyang, also came here with his coach. Shi Chong has something to do every day, and often goes to the barracks to inspect and inspect when he has nothing to do, in fact, this inspection is also an outing amusement.

I can make do with this day.

Even if he has a fire in his heart, he has to live this life!

Just when he was so bored that he didn't know how many times he and Liu Kun went to the barracks to watch people and train soldiers, he passed by the official road and met a group of happy and wealthy businessmen.

He and Liu Kun went to the barracks with one person and one fast horse, and this group of businessmen was both oxen and donkeys on the official road, which actually blocked their way.

What made him angry the most was that the peach blossom eyes sitting on the ox cart still refused to give way, and he had to let him and Liu Kun pass through the side path with his eyebrows and eyes!

Shi Qigongzi has always been a person who walks the avenue, and no one has ever dared to talk to him like this, this peach blossom eye can be regarded as successfully provoking his heart. Shi Qigongzi thought that he had nothing to do recently, so he simply robbed this group of businessmen with Liu Kun, who had been eager to try for a long time.

Later, it was Luoyang's father who sent someone to let him go back quickly, because his father was terminally ill and couldn't survive for long.

Shi Qigongzi remembered in a trance that his father was holding the newly acquired beauty and letting him go to Qingzhou with full of anger.

After finishing his father's posthumous affairs, Shi Qigongzi was sued by Wang Dao again. He finished his father's funeral, and his butt was still hot, and he was driven back to Qingzhou.

Shi Qigongzi thought that he really had to stay away from this Luoyang, if not for anything else, just to avoid this bad luck.

He was so entangled in this bad luck that he was about to get moldy.

Qingzhou is still as poor as before.

He was greeted to the mansion of the magistrate of Qingzhou last night, and halfway through the wine, the magistrate called a few beautiful women to accompany the wine.

Blowing, playing and singing can be regarded as eye-catching, he thinks that this Qingzhou is not strong in other places, and the * woman is still not so bad, so he reluctantly accepted one.

He is not a patient person, but this kind of work with children is the most impatient for him. I don't know how Anren thinks this is beautiful and fast?

Therefore, the first night of Shi Qigongzi's second visit to Qingzhou was very boring......

So on the second day, he ignored the hard work of Zhixian and asked for a fast horse and went to swing.

Shi Qigongzi rode a horse and swayed all the way, and he didn't see anything interesting.

He was bored with his horse and turning around when he saw a group of people gathered not far away. As he led his horse and swayed slowly, he saw several children standing neatly on a half-man-high platform.

He thought that the maids in his mother's room were almost finished by the dead ghost father, and now he was afraid that there would not be a few left, so he wanted to buy a few and send them back.

Horizontally and vertically, it is either too thin to look good, or it is annoying to cry, or it is too delicate to distinguish between men and women.

Shi Qigongzi was not interested in choosing, and he wanted to lead the horse to go shopping elsewhere. A thin man with a hunched shoulder approached him quietly, and the man gestured to him, and went with the ox cart parked under the big tree not far from the vegetable market.

Along the way, the hunchbacked man nagged Shi Qigongzi about the work of the trader, and his mouth was much faster than his feet.

Shi Qigongzi looked at the money bag in his hand: "Then you have to look at it to know." I'm ...... Very fussy. ”

The hunchbacked man smiled flatteringly at Shi Qigongzi: "That's it, that's it!" Childe, you are a noble son at first glance, where do we, the little people, dare to delay you. ”

The hunchbacked man said, lifted the gray curtain of the ox cart, and looked at Shi Qi Gongzi with a smile: "Look, Childe! Not bad, right? ”

Inside the cart were three children, two boys who looked like twin brothers, thirteen or fourteen years old, with an exotic style, and very good-looking, except for a little dark.

There is also a girl, who is a little younger than the two brothers, and looks very eye-catching, delicate and delicate, with an eye-catching beauty mole at the right corner of her mouth.

The girl's small lump shrank in the corner of the carriage, her big wet eyes looked back at him without fear, and Shi Qigongzi turned his gaze uncomfortably.

He stuck his head out of the carriage, and the hunchbacked man rubbed his hands and looked at him: "Childe...... Look, is it the right thing? This is a good product, I don't take it out, I'm afraid that those pickled people will see the humiliation, just waiting for a noble brother like you to come......"

Shi Qi Gongzi pointed his chin with a fan and didn't speak, and the hunchbacked man was a little anxious: "Look, Childe, why don't you do this!" No matter how many you have your eye, how about I send you one? It's a loss-making deal! There's no such thing as this after me. ”

Shi Qigongzi's fan stretched into the carriage and pointed at Zhu Niang and Er Zhurong: "Then these two, buy them and give them away, right?" So which one are you going to give me? ”

The smile on the corner of the hunchbacked man's mouth froze: "Childe, ...... this?" "It stands to reason that this car is the most expensive for this girl, but this rare twin brother is also a big price to sell together.

Shi Qigongzi impatiently slapped his palm with a fan: "Sell it or not?" Don't sell I'm gone. ”

The hunchbacked man hurriedly grabbed Shi Qigongzi: "Alas! Sold! ”

Shi Qigongzi smiled and handed the silver money to the hunchbacked man, the hunchbacked man counted it, but said that it was only enough to buy the boy, but he had no choice but to take out a pearl from his arms and hand it over.

When the hunchbacked man saw the pearl, his eyes were about to squeeze out.

Shi Qigongzi asked at this time: "You have one twin left, what price do you plan to sell it?" ”

The hunchbacked man touched the pearl and didn't let go, and replied without thinking about it: "Without this curiosity, it is also sold at the same price as the group on the stage, and it is not worth a few dollars......"

Shi Qigongzi knocked his head with a fan: "That's a good feeling, then I'll buy this too, just according to the price of the group of children on the stage, I will call someone to come and pick it up later, and you can clean it up." After saying that, he threw ten taels of silver into the hands of the hunchbacked man with a helpless face and left.

That night, Zhu Niang, the two brothers of the Er family and the attached Liuniang were sent to Shi Qigongzi's residence in Qingzhou.

Shi Qigongzi was reading a book, looking at these dirty children, and waved his hand for his subordinates to take them down to freshen up and bring them up again.
