Sixty-nine

I think about it, ancient times are not better than modern times, our chickens there are all fed, nutritious! Temperature! Illumination! and so on can be achieved and in order to let the chickens lay eggs and feed all kinds of things, of course, there are more eggs, here the chickens are probably not so particular, the poor are at home to raise a few is also free-range, not much eggs, not willing to eat their own to take out the money.

Xiaolan carried the basket and said, "Miss, what should you do if you buy these eggs?" I said, "I'll go back to the inn and send it to the kitchen later, so that they can make tea eggs for us to eat, let's go!" Xuan Ye and they stood on the side waiting for us, and when they saw me coming, they walked forward together, and after walking forward, they saw a lot of people looking around, and I walked over curiously, Xuan Ye helped me squeeze to the front, but in front of me was a sick and dying woman holding a one-year-old child in her arms, and there were two older children kneeling in front of me, who were only eight or nine years old, I asked a lady next to me: "Auntie, what are they doing?" Begging? The eldest lady sighed and said, "This is selling children!" Someone on the side interjected: "This woman's man has committed an accident and entered, and she herself is seriously ill, so she wants to help the children find a good family here, so that they can give food and let the children escape for their lives, alas! I can't raise my own children! Who will adopt! ”。

I was just about to step forward when a butler-like man stepped forward and said, "Hey! I said, our family wants these two big ones to go back, I don't know how much money you want? The woman said weakly: "I don't know where you are, uncle?" This man said: "I am from the imperial village outside the city, don't worry!" I won't let your two children suffer," the woman put down the child in her arms and knelt down, saying, "Uncle, as long as you can feed these two children and not suffer, you can take them away!" The little woman didn't dare to ask for money", who knew that the man really didn't give anything, just asked the child to kowtow to their mother, and no matter how the child cried, he pulled the two children and left.

I had the heart to step forward to stop it, but was pulled by Xuan Ye, he attached to my ear and said: "If the children can do things in the Huangzhuang, it can be regarded as a safe place", I thought about it, a woman with a few children is not having a good time, and if she is sick, if she can find a good home for the child, she is also relieved, Xuan Ye said: "Since you have entered the Huangzhuang, it will be easy to find, and let the children be there first, and when their mother is sick, take them back", I heard what he meant to take care of, he turned to Mingzhu and said: "Steward Ming, You take this mother and son to the inn where we are staying first, and then ask the doctor to show her, and wait for me to go back", Mingzhu said: "Yes, master", I saw Mingzhu stepped forward and said: "This sister-in-law, you have met a good person, our master is here to save you!" Come with me! The woman thanked everyone with gratitude, she stood a few stops and didn't stand up, I asked Xiaolan to help her up, I saw that she didn't even have the strength to hold the child, fortunately the inn is not far from here, Mingzhu is very good at teasing children, he took something to coax the child and said: "Sister-in-law, you just follow me", said and said to us: "Master, young lady, the slave will go back first", we watched them go before continuing to move forward.

After this incident, I didn't have the interest of visiting the market just now, I just followed Xuan Ye forward, and when I passed a tea shed, I saw the man who took the child just now, the two children were holding a baked cake and gnawing on it, the man seemed to be waiting for someone, Xuan Ye said: "I'm thirsty!" Let's sit down and have a cup of tea! Saying that he took the lead into the tea shed, sat on the table next to the man, I also followed into the tea shed and sat down, Dongting sat down and said: "Boss, four bowls of tea", I saw that there was a seller of cold powder next to Xiaolan to buy it, Xiaolan put down the egg basket in his hand when he heard the words, and after a while, Xiaolan and the vendor who sold cold powder came back with two bowls, I asked Xiaolan to sit down and eat, she heard that she sat down with the bowl to the side to eat, this cold powder is fried, put green onions, pour garlic juice, and drizzle with chili oil, not to mention how delicious, I looked at Xuan Ye and said with a smile on his face that he had never eaten: "You taste it, it's delicious", and took the lead in eating it.

While we were eating jelly, a man in his forties and fifties, with a stubble beard, sat down at the table of the man with the child, and only heard the man say, "Why are you here now?" The bearded man said: "There is a little delay, why, people brought it?" Is it these two children? The man said, "Yes, how much is it worth?" When I heard this, I put down the chopsticks, Xuan Ye signaled me not to act rashly, I had to pick up the chopsticks and pretend to eat, but I paid attention to their conversation, and the bearded man said: "These two children are a little older, and they can remember a lot of things, it's not easy to do!" Hearing this, the man said eagerly: "Then what should I do?" Little brother, it's the first time I've done it, I don't know! I knew that I brought the little one, big brother, you should think of a way! The bearded man said, "Otherwise! I'll give you five taels by myself, bring it back and I'll figure it out! The man said, "Big brother, is this a little missing?" The bearded man said angrily: "What? Are you too little? Then you take the people away! The man hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, big brother, I didn't mean that, the person will be handed over to you, the silver is ......", the bearded man took out a bag of things from his arms and put it on the table and said: "Yours are indispensable", the man picked it up with a smile and hurriedly put it in his arms and said: "The little brother will leave first", but said to the child: "You will follow this master to enjoy happiness in the future, be obedient!" After speaking, he snorted at the bearded man and turned to leave.

Xuan Ye motioned to Dongting to follow the man, the bearded man also went out with the two children, Xuan Ye paid the tea money and said: "You wait for me here, I'll be back in a while", I got up and said: "Well, you be careful", I saw him follow the bearded man slowly away and hurriedly said to Xiaolan: "Quick, let's follow", said and walked out of the tea shed and quickly followed, I know what Xuan Ye meant, he was afraid that something would happen to me if I followed, but generally children are abducted and trafficked by gangs, and I really don't feel at ease when he goes alone, Fortunately, the bearded man with his children and there were many people in the market, so they didn't walk fast, Xuan Ye saw me and said angrily: "Didn't you wait there?" I said, "I'm not worried about you alone," and then said, "Let's go!" They went away".
