Li Yan stood up happily and said, "Take me to meet this person, quickly." ”

After speaking, he took Zhao Xuan's hand and walked straight out of the house, Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the hand that was followed by Li Yan, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he was replaced by shyness.

However, Li Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to this now, and Li Na and the others did not notice either, and several people chased after Li Yan and walked towards the outer fort.

As soon as a few people appeared in the outer fort, they found a slave standing there, but this slave surprised Li Yan a little, because it turned out to be a woman.

Li Yan thought that this time it would be a man who would stand up first, but he didn't expect it to be a woman, Li Yan stood there in a daze, looking at the female slave standing at the small gate connecting the inner fort and the outer fort.

The slave girl looked to be less than twenty years old, probably because of malnutrition, she looked a little thin, her body was very petite, her brown hair was also a little frizzy, she was wearing a coarse cloth garment, her skin was very dark, very rough, and ordinary.

She stood there very nervously, her whole person seemed to be trembling, and when she saw Li Yan and them all coming out, she immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Zhao Xuan immediately said to Li Yan: "Young master, it's her, her name is Dou, she is twenty years old this year, she just came to me and said that she can weave grass." ”

Li Yan nodded, he knew that in this world, slaves would not have surnames, and their names would generally only be one word, if a two-character name was taken, it would be a kind of transgression, and they would be executed.

Li Yan looked at the girl named Dou and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head." ”

Dou Zhan raised his head tremblingly, but he still didn't dare to look at Li Yan, knelt straight there, Li Yan nodded and said, "Your name is Dou?" ”

Dou kowtowed again and said, "Yes, master." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Are you very good at weaving grass?" Where did you learn it? ”

Dou said: "Back to the master, I became a slave the year before last, I used to be a commoner, and I often used straw to weave things at home, and I slowly learned it." ”

Li Yan nodded, he found that this girl named Dou, although she looked timid, but she spoke very methodically, it seemed that this had a lot to do with the fact that she was a civilian before.

Li Yan nodded and said, "Go get some grass and show it to me now." ”

Dou immediately answered, withdrew, and after a while she brought a large hug of hay, it seemed that she had been prepared, these hay had been drenched with water beforehand, and became more flexible.

Dou saluted Li Yan and said, "Please forgive me for being rude." Li Yan nodded, Dou immediately sat on the ground, began to weave, it can be seen that she is going to weave a mat, and the action is very fast, after a while a small mat is made, the surface of the mat is very smooth, and it is very weak, and the appearance is also very beautiful.

Li Yan nodded, glanced at Dou who knelt on the ground again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Dou, your contribution to the Kalin family is very large, from today on, you are no longer a slave, you are a commoner of the black soil collar of my Kalin family, you can see me in the future without kneeling, just salute, in addition, you will get a separate room, work for the Kalin family, there will be a salary of silver coins every month, and I will give you your surname, from today your name will be Li Dou." ”

All the people in the courtyard heard Li Yan's words, they never thought that Dou could become a commoner just by virtue of the skill of weaving grass, as well as wages, and the most important thing is that Li Yan actually gave her a surname, which is a great thing, you must know that many civilians on the mainland do not have surnames.

Dou, no, it should be called Li Dou now, kneeling there excitedly, her whole body trembling, she really didn't expect that she really became a commoner, no longer a slave, all this is like a dream.

The reason why Li Dou has such courage and dares to be the first to stand up and say that he has craftsmanship is completely the idea of giving it a go, her family was not a slave two years ago, their family was still a commoner two years ago, they have a piece of land of their own, although it is only five acres, but it is not strong to feed the family, plus his father knows some stonemason skills, so the family does not have to worry about food and clothing.

But just the year before last, there was an insect plague in their house, five acres of grain was eaten by insects, and not a grain of rice was recovered, and there were many people with the same fate as them, and then because of their large area of grain production, resulting in the rise of grain, their family was about to go to the edge of starvation, his father had to work day and night in order to feed the family, but when he was working, he was injured, and there was no way to continue working, and the family wanted to see his father. He had to buy both the land and the house, but the money was still not enough, so he had no choice but to borrow usury like a nobleman, but his father still couldn't hold on, and died of illness, and their family could not pay back, so the nobleman took her mother, her, and her brother into slaves, but her mother died soon after because of her grief, and her mother's only wish before death was to restore their family to commoners.

But it is extremely difficult for a slave to restore his status as a commoner, and Li Dou also saw many slaves like them, in order to restore the identity of a commoner, he sacrificed his daughter to the nobles, but he still failed to get the status of a commoner, but the girl was tortured to death soon after.

After seeing this, Li Dou became more careful, trying not to notice her as much as possible, while taking care of her younger brother, and the sister and brother depended on each other.

Later, their original owners bought them to slave traders, and finally Zhao Lin bought them and led them to the Loess Plateau.

When she first heard Li Yan say that as long as they could make offerings to the Carlin family, they could restore their status as civilians, Li Dou's heart moved, but she didn't stand up immediately, she was afraid that her craft would not be favored by Li Yan, after all, she could only weave grass.

After observing in the past few days, she found that Li Yan and their nobles were different from those nobles she had met before, they were very easy-going, they could feed them every day, and they also prepared firewood for them to keep warm.

Li Dou had to stand up today, because her brother was sick, although it was not a big problem, but if it continued like this, it would be very dangerous, Li Dou was afraid, her brother was the hope of their family, and she had to save him no matter what, so she stood up.

After being stunned for a while, Li Dou kowtowed again and said, "Master, I don't dare to ask for your reward, I just hope you can save my younger brother, who is sick now." ”

Li Yan was stunned and said, "Oh? Is it? It turns out that you still have a younger brother here, don't worry, I won't take back the reward you gave you, since you have a younger brother here, then let your younger brother restore his civilian status with you. By the way, what's his name? Over there? What disease do you have? ”

Li Dou was stunned, she didn't expect Li Yan to do this, and even restored her younger brother to the status of a civilian, her mother's wish came true like this, Li Dou burst into tears with excitement, and sobbed: "Young master, my brother's name is An, and he is in the house now." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "You get up, you are a civilian now, you don't need to kneel, take me to see your brother." ”

Li Dou stood up obediently, she had just been a slave for a few years, and she had not been completely enslaved, and she was very smart, so she had been performing so well and regained her calm so quickly.

Under the gaze of those slaves, Li Dou led Li Yan and a few of them to a stone house, which is not very big, only about twenty square meters, and can accommodate four people, these people all live on the ground, but they are simply spread with hay on the ground, and now there is a person lying on the hay.

The man looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sturdy body, a very ordinary appearance, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and the crest of the Karlin family on his forehead, but he didn't look very good now, his face was covered with green energy, and his eyes were closed.

Li Yan glanced at An, turned to Li Na and said, "Grandma Li Na, what do you think is going on with him?" Why is the face cyan? ”

Li Na glanced at An and said: "Young master, he was poisoned, it is very likely that it is the poison on the poisonous weed we saw yesterday, maybe when I went out to work today, I accidentally encountered that poisonous weed, because I was strong at the time, I didn't feel much of it, and after I came back, it was slowly poisoned, so it was like this." ”

Li Yan really didn't expect that the poison of that poisonous weed was so strong, and he hurriedly said, "Can it be cured?" ”

Li Na smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, it can be cured." After saying a few words of incantation in a low voice, a cloud of aqua blue light appeared in her hand, and then Li Na slowly put this blue light on Ann's body, and the blue light immediately disappeared into Ann's body.

An's body seemed to slowly emit blue light, and then a wave of green energy was forced out of An's body by the blue light, and when the entire blue light occupied An's body, his face slowly normalized, and then the blue light disappeared.

Li Yan really didn't expect that magic could also be used to detoxify, it seems that he has always underestimated the magic ability of this world, this world has been developing a magical civilization, and now it has almost developed the magic civilization to a limit, and it is not surprising that he can do so many magical things.

Li Na looked at An's face again and said, "Young master, okay, his poison has been resolved, sleep for a while, and he will return to normal when he gets up tomorrow morning." ”

Li Yan nodded, turned his head to Li Na and said, "Grandma Li Na, arrange a room for Li Dou and An in the Inner Fort, I will prepare some furniture for them tomorrow, they are now civilians of our Karin family, and they can't be treated the same as those slaves, Iron Egg, carry An to the Inner Castle in a while." ”
