Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Town Settles
"Killed, killed." A timid woman couldn't help but cry out in a low voice, and was covered by the people around her: "You are crazy, if you are found by the nobles, we will also die." ”
How could this voice escape the young man's ears, but he didn't care, just looked at the village chief: "In such a big village, are there only so many criminal slaves in the village?" ”
The village chief rubbed his hands: "This ...... It was too cold a year ago, and we didn't have extra money to prepare winter clothes for them, and it was inevitable that a few would die in winter. ”
As for why they are all young children? The boy didn't ask, anyone over fifteen years old in this place was useful, and girls who had good looks would be sold to be given to others as daughters-in-law, or sent to the village chief's house as concubines.
If you can't do it, you will be sent to the next mine with boys over fifteen years old to mine, so there will be no slaves over fifteen years old still in the village.
The young man's fists tightened, and finally he let go weakly: "Take them down to wash them, and after half an hour, I will take them away." ”
A gold leaf fell in front of the village chief, and the village chief's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it down and beckoned to the little servant at home: "Hurry up, take these sin slaves back and bathe them." ”
The young man turned around and got into the car, and the fourth junior high school also came in: "Don't tell me that you are going to take such a group of people who don't have any spiritual power fluctuations out to practice." ”
The boy shook his head: "I don't have so much time to waste on them, it's just that we were assigned from one place back then, and how many ancestors have relatives or family friends, I just can't bear to see them still suffering all their lives." ”
The fourth junior high school is silent, he is also from a noble background, and he is also the son of a family in the beast domain, so he can't understand the hardships and hardships of this inferior family. But today, he actually felt a joy in his heart to help others.
Maybe this is the meaning of joining the WTO, he seems to have some understanding, and he no longer dislikes such trivial things as wasting time, maybe the princess is right, he should not continue to persist and cultivate, but should walk around and understand the truth of the world.
Soon several men were brought, two men and three women, all thin and pitiful, and they were timidly and full of fear, and although they had washed and changed their clothes, they still stood by the carriage and clutched the corners of their clothes, for fear of touching the carriage.
"Get in the car, I'll take you out." The boy lifted the curtain and handed out two cloaks, which, though not luxurious, were of excellent material and were very hardy.
"You two are older, just sit on the wheels, the carriage is a little small, and it can't fit so many people at once." He handed the clothes to two boys who looked thirteen or fourteen.
The two boys didn't dare to refuse, and thanked them again and again: "Thank you, thank you." ”
Although it was very cold in January, with such good clothes to wear, leaving this place where they had been imprisoned since childhood, whether it was the people in the car or the people outside the car, they felt full of strength.
A girl said timidly: "Why did the noble man help us, did he want to sell us to that kind of place?" Please, we'll do anything, can you not sell us to that kind of place? ”
She seemed to be frightened by the kind of place in her words, and the whole person shrunk into a ball, pitiful, and the young man shook his head: "You think too much, I won't do that, you'll know later." ”
The fourth year of junior high school is speechless, and I don't know where this little girl gets her confidence? Just like this yellow muscle slimming appearance, if you really want to buy it in that kind of place, no one will accept it.
I don't know why, he didn't say that he hated the identity of these poor people or criminal slaves, but looking at the little girl in front of him, he couldn't feel any sympathy, and even felt the slightest disgust.
The fourth junior high school looked at the young man next to him and found that the young man did not have any abnormality, as if he was the only one who felt uncomfortable, but he had never been a man of many words, so he did not speak.
The carriage drove out of the village, and arrived at a small county town in half a day, and the young man spent a piece of gold leaf to buy a small courtyard, five bedrooms, a kitchen, a utility room, and a latrine, which was a temporary place to stay.
Next door lived a family of gentlemen, who were very hospitable, and not only lent them the pots and pans they needed temporarily, but also asked for their names, and learned that none of the skinny children had names.
The old gentleman looked kind: "This son, if you don't dislike the old man and are a shallow learner, the old man is willing to name these children." ”
The young man nodded: "Then it will be their honor to bother the old gentleman." ”
The old gentleman thought for a long time and asked the young man's surname, and the young man shook his head: "My surname is inconvenient to be exposed, so you don't need to use my surname."
They are not my family's minions, and they don't have to be given obscure names, they are just ordinary people. ”
The boy will not look down on people from the same background as him, but he doesn't want to share his surname, which was left to him by his father-in-law.
The old gentleman nodded: "Since it is not limited to the surname, it is easy to choose a name, and the two boys are called Ping'an, Pingshun ......"
"Old gentleman, don't use the word An..." The words in Song Anning's name, he didn't want to use it for these people, even if it was from a place, he didn't want to grow up together.
The old gentleman understood, maybe his family used this word, and he should avoid it: "Then it's called Deshun, and the two of them will go smoothly together." ”
The two boys bowed gratefully to the old gentleman, expressing their satisfaction with the name, and the old gentleman looked at the girls.
Now I can't see any girl's delicate or quiet and beautiful appearance in them, and the old gentleman has put some practical effort into picking out three of the simple names.
"The three girls' families, just call them Qiutong, Qiulu, Qiulan, although it is winter now, but they are all children from poor families, I hope you can live like life in autumn, harvest and abundance."
Few of the people present have gone to school, but they only know that compared to these names, the name of their dead girl is really ugly, and the three of them also showed a sincere smile and bowed to the old gentleman.
"So thank you Mr. Li, we came in a hurry recently, if it weren't for your family's great help, I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner tonight and rest peacefully, tomorrow when we buy things, we will definitely visit your house."
The young man sincerely thanked Mr. Li, and the old man waved his hand: "The old man has been a gentleman all his life, and he likes polite children like you, and the mutual help of neighbors is the norm, so let's rest quickly." ”
The old gentleman walked away on crutches, and when he looked at the boy in the fourth year of junior high school, he suddenly smiled: "The pill given by the princess is not ordinary, if you put one in their water tank, if there is no accident, the family will live a long life." ”
The boy also smiled: "I have never entered the WTO, and when I meet someone who is sincere and kind, I am naturally willing to return the same kindness." ”
