After Xiao Yanhua put the rest tube away, they walked around the post station again, but they didn't find anything else. Qu Yilan couldn't find the team that cleared the door, so she wanted to follow Xiao Yanhua. The fruit was digested quickly, she was hungry by this time, and she didn't know anything, she needed to rely on.

Qu Yilan was afraid that she would be rejected if she said it clearly, so she tacitly agreed that everyone would definitely be together, and never mentioned separation.

In this way, Xiao Yanhua took them along the official road for a day and a night, they didn't dare to go on the main road, so they walked through the miscellaneous forests below, and then they arrived at a small town below with great difficulty.

The town is quite prosperous, with people coming and going, and the cries are endless. Xiao Yanhua saw that Qu Yilan had no symptoms and seemed to have recovered, so he first found a stall and asked for three bowls of noodles to eat. Qu Yilan was so tired that she sat on the bench in the grass shed and refused to move.

Also eating noodles at the stall was a plump woman in her thirties and nearly forty. She stared at the children on the table next to her for a while, and suddenly walked directly to Qu Yilan with a kind smile. The woman's makeup is exquisite, and she is dressed exquisitely, and she is very rich and rich.

Qu Yilan was lamenting for this predicament, and suddenly someone pressed her shoulder, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a meaty smiling face coming over, and said with a hearty smile: "Ouch, you children are really born, but outsiders?" Why don't you see adults with you? ”

Qu Yilan was very surprised when she was accosted, and when she was about to answer, Xiao Yanhua interjected bluntly and asked, "Am I not counted?" ”

The woman turned to look at him and sneered, "You're a pretty kid, but you'll be called an adult when you're seven or eight years old." She sat down at this table as she spoke, still speaking to Qu Yilan very enthusiastically, "Look at your body, the mud yo~ It seems that you have been robbed." Auntie, I'm worried, so I'm here to ask your family. ”

"Gone, lost." Obviously, Qu Yilan's sense of danger for strangers has not yet been cultivated.

"It's so pitiful to be lost." She was lamenting when the boss brought three bowls of hot noodles. Before the three of them could move, the woman said enthusiastically, "Oh, you're hungry, this money lady is out!" It's so pitiful for you to eat more. As he spoke, he took out a small handful of copper plates for the boss.

Qu Yilan thanked her with some suspicion, but Xiao Yanhua looked at the woman quietly and did not refuse silently.

"Miss, here you go." Sakura took the lead in moving a bowl to Qu Yilan, and stood up to get chopsticks for her in the tube.

The woman immediately laughed as if she had been treasured, and while watching them gobble down the noodles, she advised, "Slow down, don't choke, you won't have enough to eat, and then ask for another bowl." ”

Her luck was so good that she came across three good ones at once. Especially the youngest one, dressed in silk and satin, although it looks embarrassed, but the pair of beaded flowers on his head and the jewel on his neck are bright and dazzling, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance. With such a good-looking and cute face, anyone who knows it at first glance knows that this is the daughter of a rich family who is outcast!

The more this woman thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and she immediately had a plan in her heart. The older girl next to her is in good shape and can be sold. Ordinary farmers can't get much silver, and it is best to sell it to brothels or large families as concubines, which is barely enough at the age of ten - anyway, she knows several old men with that kind of fetish, and she is not worried about not being able to sell them.

This little one, just keep it for now, if you can find her family and ask for some ransom, it should be good, if you can't do it, you can keep it in your own home, and when you grow up in four or five years, you will give it to your son.

It's this kid...... The woman secretly glanced at Xiao Yanhua again, and at first thought it was the rich lady's little girl. But as soon as he spoke, he paid attention to it, and it turned out that this boy was the longest that people couldn't take their eyes off. Although there are few courtyards for prostitution, it is not impossible. This kind of child will definitely sell at a loss locally, so be sure to take it to the city! is such a cold little character, it is estimated that it will be very popular with those old ladies and gentlemen.

The three of them were so hungry that they didn't have time to pay attention to the woman's strange gaze, and they swallowed up the noodles in three or two bites. Xiao Yanhua immediately got up after eating and said, "Let's go." ”

Qu Yilan still had a few bites left, but she still obediently jumped off the bench. The woman immediately came up and grabbed her and Sakura's arms and shouted, "Oh, don't go yet." ”

"Auntie, are you still in trouble?"

The woman's face twitched a little, she had just thrown several copper plates! It can't be in vain. She forced a smile and said, "Where can you three children go now?" Why don't you go back with your aunt, and I'll help you find your family? ”

"No need, we know the way." Xiao Yanhua once again refused bluntly.

"You know you've all come a long way, why don't you be so hungry? So, where are you going? It just so happens that my son is going out, so I'll take you home if I stop by. If you don't stop by the way, it's okay for you to rest at my house, my aunt is kind-hearted, and I can't see the children suffering the most. ”

Sakura looked at Qu Yilan silently, she wanted to listen to Miss. And Qu Yilan looked at Xiao Yanhua and stretched out a small hand to hold his hand, she was dependent on Xiao Yanhua.

Only then did this woman suspiciously discover that Xiao Yanhua was the one in charge. Is this different from her analysis? It stands to reason that the daughter of a rich family should be very arrogant, at least the slave must have no right to speak, and at the age of this young lady, she should be fooled and followed.

Xiao Yanhua held Qu Yilan's hand and looked fixedly at the old woman with a smile on her face, her eyes were a little incomprehensible. Just when the woman was about to persuade again, he was relieved and said, "Thank you, auntie." ”

……

The woman called herself Liu and her family lived in the town. She seemed to like Qu Yilan very much, and she held her hand all the way. Qu Yilancha felt very strange to be treated so warmly by strangers, but he couldn't say anything bad.

Liu led them two streets to a secluded compound. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Liu's son who was sweeping the floor, he was not much older than Xiao Yanhua, and he looked average, but it was a pity that those eyes looked a bit of a thief, and he was still a slope.

He turned around and shouted, "Mother, you-"

"Ahe, why are you still hanging around here, didn't I ask you to call your sister and brother-in-law to come and help." Liu Shi squeezed his eyebrows for a moment, but Ah He immediately understood, he first stared at Qu Yilan and Sakura a few times, and then threw the broom and went straight out.

Qu Yilan felt that something was wrong, she was not brainless, on the contrary, she was very good at observing. Feeling critical, she looked at Xiao Yanhua, but Xiao Yanhua didn't say anything, so she didn't say anything.

The Liu couple took them to the house and sat down, carrying water and eating plums, and they were very enthusiastic. After a while, Xiao Yanhua saw that the two of them had almost eaten, so he unceremoniously asked again, "Can you let us wash it?" ”

Liu's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, I'll go get water." ”

Liu sent water and left, and there were only three children left in the house, Xiao Yanhua said, "I'll go out and watch, you can wash it with confidence." ”

There were two little girls taking a bath in the inner room, and Xiao Yanhua stayed outside, he listened to the sound of water behind him, quietly pushed open a gap in the outer door, and looked carefully at the courtyard outside. He waited for a while, and then he saw Ah He leading a young couple into the courtyard quickly, and the three of them went to the other side room.

Xiao Yanhua estimated that the family should be in the house, so he went out and followed, putting his ear to the door and eavesdropping.

A sharp female voice in the room said, "Mother, what kind of goods is this time, and you want to send acorns on purpose?" ”

Liu Shijiao smiled, "You haven't seen it, these are all rare good embryos!" Didn't I count it recently, Ahe is going to find a daughter-in-law in two years, rather than spending money to hire him, it is better to keep a good deal if there is a suitable one on weekdays. No, as soon as I hit the street, I ran into them. You'll know later, that girl is good-looking, and the children born in the future will definitely be good-looking. ”

Ah Yi was happy when he heard it, "Those two?" ”

"It's not bad to be older, but it's a pity that it's just a maid, so don't think about getting a second room, it's a lot of money to raise a daughter-in-law." The money from the sale of the big one is not for you to keep for your relatives. ”

Ah He muttered unhappily, "Can ...... The other one is too small, to say the least, and it will take five years to say the least. ”

Old man Liu teased his son, "Why are you in a hurry, this thing is not fast, your mother is pregnant with your eldest sister at twelve-"

"Shut up!" Liu was furious.

Liu Xu'er's husband was also busy asking, "Aren't they three?" Two girls, one big and one small? And what about the other one? ”

"There is also a male doll, that's called a handsome ~ The little girl can be sent directly to the brothel in the town, but there is no prostitution in our small place, and the male doll has to be sent to the city. Is your carriage set up, and they'll be sent out after they've been washed in a while. ”

Liu Su'er exclaimed, "You let them take a bath?" Didn't anyone look at it? ”

"Tsk, the young ladies and sons in the red-walled courtyard are all dressed and fed, how can they understand these routines, they are all stupid."

Xiao Yanhua stopped listening when he heard this, he turned around and went back, just in time to meet Qu Yilan and Sakura who were already dressed, and left him another basin of clear water untouched.

Xiao Yanhua took advantage of the fact that the Liu family was still discussing the plan, so he approached them and whispered for a while.

Qu Yilan's eyes widened when she listened, "But ......"

"Trust me, it's okay." Xiao Yanhua patted her head, and her voice was soft and reassuring.

After Xiao Yanhua also washed up and cleaned up, Ah He even sent a new set of clothes that he hadn't wore. Xiao Yanhua went into the back room to change, and Ah He's eyes wandered around the two girls, and he couldn't hide that little bit of caution.
