Chapter 150: Curiosity Kills Cats
Those people almost rolled with crawlers.
Li Yong ran over to pick up his big knife and wiped the blood off the wailing man before looking at the panicked woman on the ground.
When the woman saw Li Yong, her face did not show much gratitude, but she still looked at them vigilantly.
Li Yong was already the second time he had been a hero after coming out with Su Ying, and he showed a self-righteous smile and said to the woman: "Girl, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!" ”
When the girl heard this, she got up from the ground and ran away without looking back.
"Eh, why did you leave like this, without even saying thank you." Li Yong was a little depressed.
"Thank you, who knows if you're the next person to want to bully her." An old man sitting next to him spoke quietly.
Li Yong's eyes widened, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think anyone is as dirty as the people in your Western District?" ”
The old man smiled and said nothing.
Su Ying turned his eyes to look at the old man, only to see that he was wearing a thin linen coat, I don't know how many patches had been sewn on his clothes, his beard was gray, and his whole person was so thin that only skin and bones remained, A pair of cloudy eyes did not have any light, and when he sat there, he was a person who was about to die, waiting for death.
Su Ying walked up to the old man and took out a small bag of snacks from his body, this snack was made by Uncle He, she likes to eat it, so she will carry some with her, and take it out and eat two bites when she thinks of it.
"Eat."
The old man glanced at Su Ying, unceremoniously took the cloth bag and opened it, took out the snacks inside and ate it.
It seemed that he hadn't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, and the old man's cloudy eyes narrowed comfortably.
Su Ying was not in a hurry, and waited until he was comfortable to eat before half-squatting down and looking at him and said, "The entire Western District is like this, and there is no one who takes the lead to take care of it?" ”
The old man was comfortable eating before he said quietly, "Who cares?" Who cares if our people live or die? Those who have some ability have gone to other districts, and the rest can only wait here to die. ”
Su Ying got up slowly, continued to walk towards the western district, and when she walked in, she found that the distance between the houses here was much narrower than that in the eastern district, and many houses were crowded together.
Hu Wei said that this area was managed by the Gu clan before, and the Gu clan had only been wiped out for a long time, so it was impossible for great changes to occur here in a short period of time, it could only be said that when the Gu clan was under control, this was what it looked like.
The people of the Gu clan only treat the people here as breeding equipment for Gu worms, and where can they treat them as people.
"What are you doing, where are you going to take the child, you can't take him away!"
On the narrow road, a man suddenly dragged a half-sized boy out, and the woman behind cried and chased after him.
The man's face was dirty, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were bloodshot, "This kid can't do anything but eat at home, and he can be sold to other districts for a tael of silver."
"Don't sell it, please don't sell it...... "The emaciated woman caught up and took the child's hand, and begged bitterly.
The child was pulled by the two, his face was numb, and there was no innocence on his face that belonged to this age.
"Stupid girl, if you get in the way, I'll kill you!" The man raised his hand and slapped the woman in the face.
The woman was beaten and rolled to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
"How much do you sell this kid?"
When the man turned around, he was stopped by Su Ying.
The man looked her up and down, and laughed lightly, "How much does the little lady want to spend on it?" ”
Su Ying said expressionlessly: "I will give as much as you want." ”
The man greedily raised a slap, "Five taels of silver." ”
"Okay, Li Yong, give the money."
Li Yong sighed, Mrs. Su, didn't you buy it, why did he give money!
It was not easy for him to save such a small amount!
Although he was reluctant in his heart, under Su Ying's indifferent eyes, Li Yong still took out five taels of silver and handed it to the man.
"From now on, this kid will be Lao Tzu's person."
The man immediately smiled when he got the silver, "Your people, your people hahaha." The man took the silver and went away happily.
The woman on the ground saw that her son had been bought, and the look of despair on her face intensified.
"What is your husband going to do with the money?"
When the woman heard Su Ying's question, she choked up and said, "Buy fairy wine." ”
"Fairy wine?"
"Yes, he took all the money in the family to buy fairy wine."
"What's that?"
The woman shook her head, "I only know that it is a kind of wine, and if you drink it, it will make you happy and live without any pain." ”
"Where?"
The woman trembled and pointed to a narrow street in front of her.
Su Ying nodded knowingly, "Let's go." ”
"This, this lady, please, please give me back my son, give me back my son......" The woman crawled up to Su Ying and pleaded.
"He gave him the money, and if you ask for it, ask him to go." After Su Ying finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The woman looked at Li Yong.
Li Yong looked at Su Ying, then at the half-grown child, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to find your son in the future, you will go to the Tiger Camp in the Eastern District." After saying that, he took the child and ran away, and the child will be sold again sooner or later, and there will be a fart when he goes back.
The woman watched as her son was dragged away, and fell to the ground and wailed.
Su Ying followed the direction of the woman's guidance, and after passing the narrow street, she saw a large group of people sitting on both sides of the street, each of them holding a wine cup in their hands, drinking in a daze.
At the end of the street, there was a liquor shop, from which the wine in the hands of these people came out.
Su Ying walked into the wine shop, and saw the man who sold the child just now happily walking out with a glass of wine, and couldn't wait to take a sip before he went out.
The seller was an old man with gray hair, who was fetching wine for someone.
Su Ying spoke, "How much is a cup?" ”
The old man didn't raise his head and said, "A hundred big money." ”
"Bring me a cup."
The old man slowly raised his head and glanced at Su Ying, and when he saw that she was a little raw, he looked her up and down, "Where did the little lady come from?" ”
"Do you sell things in different places?"
The old man laughed, "No, but not everyone can drink this wine, if the little lady hasn't drunk it before, don't try it." ”
Su Ying took out half a penny of silver from his body, "Curious, bring me a cup." ”
The old man no longer refused, and turned to drink, "Curiosity kills cats, and so do people." ”
The muddy wine was put into a porcelain cup, and the old man put the wine on the table, and after collecting the money, he found money for Su Ying.
Su Ying took the wine and turned around and walked out of the wine shop.
Li Yong followed and said worriedly: "Su Niangzi, this thing doesn't look right, you can't drink it indiscriminately." ”
Su Ying shook the wine cup in his hand and sniffed it, his eyes narrowed.
You really can't drink indiscriminately.
