Chapter 222: Sold Money, Help Count the Money!
"We were sold by our family since we were young, and we followed our class master to perform songs and dances everywhere."
"Our class master is good, there are barbarians outside, so take us to hide here."
The two little girls were young and even less courageous, and they didn't understand what they said, which made everyone pity them even more.
Even Jia Yi and Liu Yang also divided some of the pickles they brought from home.
Ye Shan and Li Laosi briefly discussed a few words, and took advantage of the efforts to fetch water, and probed all around, there were indeed no traces of outsiders' activities, and they were a little less wary of these women.
The two little girls were full of food and drink, thanked them with red faces, and then ran back holding hands, and everyone who watched laughed.
Jiayi sat beside his uncle and said with a grin, "Uncle, these people are so pitiful. ”
Liu Yang also responded, "Yes, I don't know how they survived the barbarian pursuit?" ”
Li Laosi swallowed a mouthful of dry cakes, glanced at them helplessly, and asked, "They are pitiful, where are they pitiful?" I was sold since I was a child, and I was pitiful if I couldn't eat enough? There are not 100,000 such people in Tianwu, but 80,000. ”
Jiayi and Liu Yang frowned, both a little unhappy, feeling that their uncle had no sympathy.
The rest of the soldiers also bowed their heads, pretending to be busy, and obviously did not agree with Li Laosi's words.
They all came from very low backgrounds, after all, their families were rich and noble, and they couldn't be allowed to fight for their lives in the barracks.
Therefore, I feel a little more empathy for the little girl who has also suffered a miserable situation.
Li Laosi didn't care about this, took a branch and hit the two boys, and asked.
"You just talked to the two little girls, did you tell people that our family also fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, living in Broken Gold Beach, with hot spring valleys, and making money every day. There are melon fields, and they have been given the name by the emperor, and the supply exceeds demand. Even how many people in our family have said it, right? ”
Jiayi and Liu Yang were stunned when they heard this, and their hearts were empty for no reason, "We are just gossiping, there is nothing that can't be said, right?" ”
"Hmph," Li Laosi sneered, "yes, there's nothing you can't say." But you've said so much, what about the two little girls? Where did they say they came from? What do they do? Why did a group of women end up in the deep mountains and old forests? How many of them are there and where are they going? ”
Jiayi and Liu Yang stammered and finally understood.
They have just been cleaned up by others, and they don't even know what their identities are.
Li Laosi knocked them on the head and scolded, "Stupid, one day, you will be sold by others, and you will have to help others count the money." ”
Jia Yi and Liu Yang lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
The soldiers who listened on the side didn't dare to raise their heads, and they didn't say much.
Although it was not a big deal, they guarded the dock and belonged to the command of the Marquis of Xinting, so they said it to others......
Jiayi and Liu Yang were afraid of causing a big disaster, so they pulled Li Laosi's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, what should I do then?" If we are known by others, will it be dangerous? ”
"No!" Li Laosi slapped them away, but he didn't scare them anymore.
He said matter-of-factly, "They are a group of women, and they must be more afraid to guard against us." Even if we know this, it won't be unfavorable to us. But you must remember it for a long time, and do not see that others are pitiful, and you are not guarded. ”
"Yes, uncle, we know it's wrong, and we won't in the future."
Jia Yi and Liu Yang were finally honest, and the slightest restlessness in the hearts of the soldiers was also suppressed.
This night, the camp was exceptionally quiet, with alternate vigils and sleeping in order.
In the cave in the distance, there were more than twenty women, all young and beautiful. Occasionally, two of them look over thirty years old, and they are also graceful and charming.
They surrounded the most beautiful woman, who was also their class leader, and whispered, "Class master, this group of people looks fine, at least it is polite." Are we going to follow them out of the mountains? ”
The beautiful heroine nodded and responded, "We've waited for three months, just for this opportunity, we have to try it anyway." And these people are under the command of Xintinghou, Xintinghou was in Kyoto before, or Xintingbo, his reputation is not obvious, but he is a real royal prince, and now he is guarding the Jiangnan wharf. If we can get acquainted with him and win his favor, we will not have to worry about settling down in Jiangnan. ”
The women were all happy, and the two little girls who had gone to find out the news before were also chattering, and one of them said.
"Class master, that broken gold beach, there are hot springs and Zhuangzi, it seems to be very rich, and it is close to the new capital. I heard that it is all the property of Xintinghou, if the class owner can be admired by Xintinghou, let Xintinghou live in this place, okay? ”
The other also agreed, "Yes, I heard that this Zhuangzi planted a cold melon, and it is still the name of the emperor's reward, and the hot spring valley is also a daily gold." Those two silly boys said it, and it sounded good. If we occupy it, we won't have to wander around in the future. ”
The women listened excitedly and asked one after another, "Is the broken gold beach big?" Are there many fields? ”
"What kind of person is Xin Tinghou? Won't it be fierce? ”
"Oh, the class master is so beautiful, any hero has to bend his waist."
"That's right, when the class master asks me to take care of the hot spring valley, okay? I have to go to the hot springs every day, and these months have been too hard. ”
The beautiful woman frowned, waved her hand to signal everyone to shut up, and finally whispered an injunction.
"We will follow these people out first, to the land of Jiangnan, and then slowly make plans for the rest. Previously, I only heard that Xin Tingbo was cold, didn't like words, and had no wives and concubines. I just didn't see anyone, so I don't know how. ”
"Oh, don't care what kind of temperament it is, the left and right are people in the army, and they must have been plain for a long time, and when they saw the class master, they immediately bowed down under the corner of their skirts. If the class master doesn't dislike it, I can explore the reality for the class master first. ”
A charming woman curled the ends of her hair, laughing, her white neck and chest trembled slightly, it was really full of temptation, and all the companions who saw it were blushing.
The beautiful woman glanced at her, but she didn't refute it, but said, "On the way, you can find out more news." The more we know, the better we are. ”
"Got it, class master, just take a look." The woman smiled proudly, "Men, they are all virtuous." ”
Early the next morning, Li Laosi and the others got up, and the japonica rice sent by the women, they still didn't move, only boiled hot water to warm their stomachs.
Li Laosi discussed with Ye Shan that he must get the book today, and then he will go outside the mountain to investigate the movements of the barbarians, and he can't delay any longer, and the family is still worried about it.
At this time, four or five women came down from the cave, carrying several packages.
The beauty of the woman in the first place amazed everyone, but after Li Laosi's beating last night, everyone behaved very plainly, and even a little more vigilant.
A flash of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but she saluted upright, and her posture was graceful, without the slightest prodigality and frivolity.
"Brave men, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"You're welcome, girl." Li Laosi and the others returned the salute and invited them to sit on the big rock.
The woman smiled first, "Ladies and gentlemen, the little girl's real name is Hua Ruyue, and she took some sisters to form a song and dance troupe before, wandering around and surviving. The move was too sudden, and we were in the north, so we had to be a little late.
I was chased all the way by the barbarians to this vicinity, and there was really no way to enter the mountain, but fortunately there was this valley to settle in. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank all of you for leaving a lot of things that have helped us a lot. ”
As she spoke, she took a few more women to stand up and salute solemnly.
