Chapter 51: Buying a Woman
readx;
The old bustard saw that someone was holding his wrist and refused to let go, so he pulled it out hard, but he still couldn't pull it out of the other party's hand, and then felt that his wrist seemed to be clamped by iron tongs, and the pain was deep to the bone, and he said: "Who are you? Dare to take care of the old lady's affairs, are you impatient?" This person is Xu Yang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I'm just a passerby, and when I see inequality, I naturally have to take care of it. Xu Yang clasped the other party's wrist and said.
When the old bustard saw that he didn't know Xu Yang, and saw that he was here alone, and there was no helper by his side, he was immediately deflated and begged for mercy: "The hero let go, the hero let go." If a good man falls in love with this girl, the old lady, no, the old woman will give it to the good man. After speaking, he struggled to break free from the opponent's iron pincer-like hand.
Xu Yang saw that the other party begged for mercy again and again, and said that the other party did not do anything hurtful, and suddenly let go of his hands. The struggling bustard was caught off guard, and suddenly fell on his back, turned on his feet, and screamed on the ground. The onlookers saw the bustard making a fool of himself in front of everyone, and applauded one by one.
Xu Yang saw the old bustard struggling to stand up on the ground like a turtle, and then pointed at himself and shouted: "You guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, you wait, see how I find someone to clean you up." As he spoke, the soles of his feet were oiled, and he yelled at Xu Yang from time to time.
The old bustard suddenly ran away from Xu Yang and the others, and suddenly found that the three girls he was pulling were also missing, and he couldn't find them, so he was furious, and hurriedly hired a carriage to rush towards Changming County. Xu Yang and the others watched the old bustard flee in a hurry, which attracted laughter and applause. The crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, so they dispersed one by one.
Xu Yang saw that the onlookers had left, and wondered if he should help the woman in front of him who sold herself to bury her mother. Just when Xu Yang hesitated, he smelled the smell of rotting corpses in the air, and this smell was emanating from the person lying next to the woman, and attracted many flies to crawl on the person's mat, and the sound of "buzzing" was annoying.
"Master, you only need to spend five taels of silver to buy me, and then bury my mother for me, and I will repay the hero's life-saving grace as a cow and a horse in the future. The woman kneeling on the ground said to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang saw that the woman was surrounded by flies, and he didn't move half a step from the place, guessing that the other party also knew that his relatives had been put for too long, so he lowered his price and asked him to buy the other party. Xu Yang thought that he had already bumped into this matter, and what was there to help the other party, so he took out five taels of silver from his arms and gave it to the other party.
The woman saw that the other party bought herself without saying a word, and immediately reached out to take five taels of silver, kowtowed and thanked the other party. Ma Zichen and the four of them also smelled the smell of rotting corpses in the air, and saw that the woman kept kowtowing to Xu Yang to thank them, so they quickly stopped the other party and said, "Let's bury my relatives first." ā
The woman saw five horses, four men and one woman standing in front of her, and she could see that they were together, and immediately thanked the four of them. After thanking the five people, the woman slowly got up from the ground, and before she could stand firmly, her body shook for a while, her eyes were full of gold stars, and she fell to the ground staggeringly. But just when the woman was about to fall to the ground, her thin body had been supported by someone, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the person who bought her just now.
Xu Yang saw that the woman might have been kneeling for too long, and she was about to fall before she could stand still, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the other party's back so that the other party would not fall to the ground. The woman calmed down for a moment, blushed cheeks, and nodded to Xu Yang in thanks.
Xu Yang saw that the woman's face was flushed, and when he saw that the other party was used to standing up, his hand was released from the other party's back. Xu Yang saw an old man with a cart pulled by a cow on the side of the road, and hurriedly ran to ask, "Uncle, can you do us a favor and pull the woman's relatives to a place in the county town that sells coffins?"
When the old man heard that the other party was going to use his own cart to pull someone to death, he suddenly shuddered and waved his hand again and again. Xu Yang thought about it, twisted out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the other party, asking the other party for help. The old man was overjoyed when he saw that the other party gave him silver, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, only to see that the broken silver in his palm was the size of a soybean, so he hurriedly put it in his mouth and bit it, smiled happily, and agreed.
When the woman who sold her body to bury her mother heard that Xu Yang was going to bury her mother in a coffin, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but her tears had dried up, so she didn't shed tears.
The old man saw that the woman's relatives had emitted the smell of rotting corpses, endured the taste of overturning the river and the sea in his body, and hurriedly wrapped the straw mat on the ground and put the other party's corpse on the cart, and drove the cow towards the county seat. The big tiger and the little tiger helped the woman on the ground up, and the woman saw that her relatives had been placed on the cart pulled by the ox, and walked towards the county town under the drive of the old man, and immediately chased after the cart.
Xu Yang and the five of them saw the woman chasing the cart behind, thinking that they would help others to the end, and they didn't care about the lack of time to hurry, so they immediately led the horse towards the county seat. And just as Xu Yang and the others were walking towards the county seat, the people who sold their bodies on the side of the road to bury their relatives hurriedly surrounded Xu Yang and others, kowtowed to tell what happened to them, and asked Xu Yang to buy them too.
Xu Yang didn't think that he would attract so many people when he saw that the road was uneven, and even said that he had no money, so he hurriedly pulled his horse and ran towards the county seat.
Everyone came to a coffin shop in the county town, talked with the boss for a while, and then bought a poplar coffin and placed the woman's relatives inside. Xu Yang took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the coffin boss, and asked the boss to ask two more servants to buy some paper money and other things. The woman was going to buy an inferior and cheap coffin, but she didn't want to let the other party spend five taels of silver to buy an ordinary coffin, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her. The big tiger lifted it up.
After a while, the boss invited two servants and asked Xu Yang where the coffin would be buried? Xu Yang wanted to be buried in a mass grave, but he didn't know what the woman meant? The woman saw Xu Yang and the others standing there in embarrassment, and said: "Originally, I wanted to send my relatives back to their hometown, and the fallen leaves would be buried in the ground, but the distance is too far away, so I should just bury them locally." As long as I live, I will pay tribute to my mother every year. Just bury my mother in a mass grave, so that my mother will be less turbulent. After speaking, he changed into filial piety clothes and motioned for him to go towards the mass grave.
Xu Yang and the others saw that the woman had decided, so they followed the other party to the mass grave, and then dug a pit, put the coffin in it, and left after getting the reward. The woman burned paper money in front of the grave, kowtowed three times, came to Xu Yang's side, and said: "Benefactor, I am your person now, I can't repay your great kindness in this life and this life, I can only be a cow and a horse in the next life to continue to repay your life-saving grace." After speaking, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Xu Yang.
"I can take care of myself. Now that your relatives have been buried in the ground, you don't need to follow me, let alone be a cow or a horse to repay you. This is five taels of silver, you take it away, and then you can find another one!" Xu Yang said, taking out five taels of silver from his arms and giving it to the other party.
The woman heard that Xu Yang didn't want herself, and saw that the other party stuffed the silver into her hand and let herself find another way out. The woman was stunned in place, and then she heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually walking away, and a spirit hurriedly ran towards the five people, and said with tears streaming down her face: "I have been bought by you, and I will be your person for the rest of my life." I can do everything, I am proficient in laundry and cooking, and I will give you a baby. I don't want any more of your silver, but I'll give you all the ten taels of silver. After speaking, he stuffed the two pieces of silver in his hand into Xu Yang's hand, knelt in front of the other party, and said, "If you don't take me in, I will die in the mass grave, so that I can be my mother's companion." ā
Seeing that the woman was so stubborn, Xu Yang pulled the other party up again, gave the silver to the other party, and said, "Although these ten taels of silver are not much, they can make a small deal in the county." And it's not convenient for me to keep a woman by my side, so you can leave!"
Lian Gui next to him saw that Xu Yang refused to take in the woman, so he pulled the horse away with tears in his eyes.
The woman saw that Xu Yang still refused to take her in, tears rolled down like beads of broken thread, and walked towards the grave where her relatives were buried. When he saw a mulberry tree next to his relative's grave, he immediately untied his belt, tied it to a branch, tied it to death, put his neck in the belt, kicked over the stone under his feet, and suddenly hung his body straight on the tree, out of breath, rolled his eyes, and began to be in a trance.
Xu Yang pondered why there was no movement behind him while walking, and when he looked back, he was shocked and saw that the woman was already hanging on the mulberry tree, and hurriedly ran towards the other party. When Xu Yang took the woman off the mulberry tree, he felt that the other party's body was as light as nothing, and his body was very thin; when he saw that the woman rolled her eyes, and her face was no longer bloody, she quickly checked the other party's breathing, and found that the other party was still breathing, so she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Ma Zichen and the four of them also saw that the woman was about to hang herself, and saw Xu Yang rescue the woman from the tree, and when they saw that the woman was still breathing, they also breathed a heavy sigh of relief. When Xu Yang saw that the woman was still breathing, he wondered why the woman hadn't woken up yet? Ma Zichen saw Xu Yang hugging the woman and said, "Brother Xu, now that this woman has not woken up, should we throw this woman in the wilderness? ā
"For the sake of now, this is the only way to go, otherwise this woman will have to look for a short time again. Xu Yang said. After speaking, he hugged the unconscious woman by the waist, put her in the saddle steadily, led the horse, and continued to walk towards the north.
When everyone left this mass grave, it was already full of stars and moons. Everyone was not in a hurry anyway, so they chose a windy place and began to set up a tent to cook, but the woman still did not wake up, and her breathing became stable, so she slept in a tent with Lian Gui.
The next day, when they awoke, they saw that the clouds were overhead, and the sky was darkening, so they hastened their way north. And the woman still didn't wake up, so Xu Yang put it on the saddle again and accelerated towards Yueyang County.
The woman only felt that she was very bumpy under her, thinking that she had stepped on the Huangquan Road, and wondered in a daze whether the Huangquan Road was also so bumpy? So, when she opened her hazy eyes, she saw that she was one person high from the ground, and her body was also shaking rhythmically, so she saw that she was on horseback; when she looked ahead, she saw Xu Yang leading the horse away, following four people left and right, and only then did she know that she had been saved by the other party again.
"You see, this woman has woken up. Lian Gui exclaimed.
When everyone heard Lian Gui's exclamation, they hurriedly looked at the woman on Xu Yang's horseback, and saw that the other party was struggling to get off the horse. Xu Yang saw that the woman had woken up, so he hurriedly stopped the horse and said, "You are still very weak, just stay on the horse and rest for a while." When he had finished speaking, he led the horse to leave, but then he heard a "coo" behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the woman had fallen off the horse.
When the crowd saw the woman fall off the horse, they hurriedly helped her up. When Xu Yang was about to support the other party and send him on the horse, the woman refused to get on the horse, and said: "I am a slave, how dare I let my master walk on the ground, while I sit comfortably on the saddle." ā
"You are a woman, so don't be suspicious of being inferior or inferior. If you are weak, just rest on horseback. Xu Yang said.
The woman shook her head like a rattle, and refused to mount again. Xu Yang couldn't, so he had to lead the horse in front, and the woman followed behind. When everyone saw that Xu Yang and the woman were walking on the ground, how could they sit on the horse's back, and suddenly the four of them also led the horse like Xu Yang.
Xu Yang saw the woman following behind him, and gradually slowed down so that the other party could follow. Xu Yang looked back at the woman from time to time, only to see a water lantern hanging under her eyes, and asked, "What is your name, and where is your hometown?"
"Back to the master, the slave maid is called Yin Su'e, and her hometown is in Ganxiao County, Hubei Province. The woman said.
Everyone heard that the other party's name was Yin Su'e, and they heard that the other party's family was in Hubei Province, and they knew that they could return the other party to their hometown in another month. Xu Yang nodded and said, "Yin Su'e, we are also heading north, and when we reach your hometown, you can go home." When the time comes, you can buy some land or do some small business in your hometown, so that you can also get by. ā
