Such beauty, if seen by those who have evil intentions, is indeed prone to accidents.

Cui Yuanting kept his own courtesy, and after a glance, he restrained himself from looking at the overly moving face.

The two quit the fisherman's house. Cui Yuanting wanted to observe the people's sentiment under his rule, and inquired that this place was only a few miles away from the county seat, so he walked into the city with Lingfu. But as he walked, Cui Yuanting suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Lingfu fixedly.

Xu Lingfu: "Is there something wrong with the county?" ”

Cui Yuanting looked at her face, then turned around and continued walking.

？？？ What do you mean?

Cui Yuanting: "Do you think you can make people believe that you are a man by dressing like this?" ”

Xu Lingfu was silent for two seconds and said, "Is it obvious?" ”

Cui Yuanting: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Lingfu arched his hand: "Please teach the county." ”

Cui Yuanting: "I don't have any advice, I just tell you that you can't hide it from people like this." ”

Compared with the previous dynasty, the folk customs of the Great Xuan Dynasty were open, and the women in the capital and the major prefectures often traveled in men's clothes or even Hu clothes, which was a popular fashion. Xu Lingfu's dress is not weird, but it can't hide her original gender.

Xu Lingfu looked at Cui Yuanting: "The county lord doesn't plan to take the people's daughter with him because of this?" ”

Cui Yuanting: "A gentleman promises a thousand gold, not to mention that you saved my life, I promised you that you would not change your hexagram, but there will be people talking about it in the future." ”

Xu Lingfu: "Will it affect the reputation of the county?" ”

Cui Yuanting sneered: "The impact on my reputation is insignificant, but it is different for you. ”

Xu Lingfu said indifferently: "As long as it doesn't have any impact on you." ”

Cui Yuanting glanced at her, and saw that there was really no concern on her face, but this woman was unusual.

Looking at her answer, it is obviously not that she doesn't understand what the criticism is, since ancient times, the standards and requirements for men and women in this world have been different, how many people are trapped in the word reputation, and this woman can actually see through this layer.

Was she detached by nature, or was the situation so threatening that she didn't care about it anymore?

We'll just have to wait and see.

They walked another thirty or fifty steps, this is already a suburb of the county, it should be densely populated, but all the way to see, six or seven of the ten rooms are empty, the walls are decaying and decaying, the courtyard is full of weeds, and wild foxes are infested in the meantime.

Occasionally, pedestrians are unclothed and have vegetables on their faces. Cui Yuanting's brows gradually furrowed.

At this time, a person suddenly popped out of a family on the side of the road, and then he heard the shouting of the sky and the earth from behind.

Xu Lingfu looked intently and saw a man holding a five or six-year-old girl under his armpit, the girl cried so hard that she kept struggling, and a mother and son chased out from behind the chai door and tore up with the man-

"Auntie! Ah Niang ...... "Seeing her mother chasing out, the little girl struggled to stretch out her hand to her mother, but the man did not stop at his feet, and almost ran.

"You let my daughter go! Let my daughter go......" The mother shouted hoarsely, chasing after her.

The boy who followed was about 10 years old, and he was very fast, and he shouted "Sister, sister!" as he chased after him. ”

What's the situation? Someone snatched a child in broad daylight?

Xu Lingfu couldn't help but step forward to stop him, but realizing that he was now the entourage of the county commander of Cui, he planned to take a look at the attitude of the county commander.

Cui Yuanting stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block the man: "Stop!" ”

The man rushed left and right, but under the cover of Xu Lingfu and Cui Yuanting, he was holding the girl again, and he couldn't get out for a while.

At this time, the boy caught up and grabbed the man's hand with all his might, trying to save his sister.

The man said angrily, "Get out of here! ”

At this time, the woman also arrived, snatching the girl with the boy, and the two sides couldn't tear apart, only to hear Cui Yuanting shout: "Stop!" ”

He stood there proudly with his sword eyebrows erect and his eyes covered with cold stars, and there was an irreversible awe-inspiring momentum around him.

"What are you doing here!"

The man saw Cui Yuanting's demeanor and temperament, and saw the handsome "scholar" who was following him, he was afraid that it was the son of a family, and he easily didn't want to offend, so he said: "This is my family matter, and I don't do other people's business." ”

"Family matters?" Cui Yuanting saw the woman crying and hugging her daughter, for fear that she would be snatched away by a man again. He said to the woman, "This lady, please don't cry, what the hell is going on, maybe we can help you." ”

The woman wiped away tears and said, "He is the father of my child, and because of the hardship of his family, he will sell my daughter...... Woohoo......"

Xu Lingfu frowned and looked at the man, with a sense of disdain in his heart. Isn't this an unscrupulous gambler who favors sons over daughters?

I heard the man cry out to the woman excitedly, "Will you be willing?" The girl is also my own daughter! ”

"But there are four mouths in the family, and the grain is sold for 1,200 wen a bucket, and we can't afford it at all! What to eat in the future? If we don't sell her, we will sell the land, and what will we do next year after we sell the land? Tell me about it! ”

The man suppressed the sorrow in his heart and could only shout roughly.

The woman was forced to ask, knowing that her husband was telling the truth, but how could it not hurt to sell her own daughter? So I only hugged my daughter and cried.

However, the older boy wiped the sweat and tears on his face, pursed his lips, straightened his thin chest and said to his father: "Grandpa, don't sell your sister, sell me if you want to sell it!" ”

"I'm older than my sister, I can take care of myself, and I eat a lot, my sister only eats a little, grandpa still sells me!"

Xu Lingfu looked at the boy and saw that he was very thin, but he had a tough look on his little face, and he couldn't help but feel moved and sad in his heart.

When the woman heard her son say this, her tears fell even more, and she took out her other hand to grab her son: "Ah Nian......"

The man glared at his son: "How can I sell you!" You are the root of our Liu family, you will become a Ding in a few years, our family still depends on you, you don't listen to your aunt's uninformed words, if our family wants to survive the current difficulties, this is the only way! ”

Cui Yuanting understood: "So, you want to sell women because you don't have food to live?" ”

Man: "Otherwise, who would sell their daughter?" When we can't find anything to eat, what can we do? ”

Cui Yuanting: "I just heard you say that the price of grain here is already 1,200 wen a bucket, is this true?" ”

"How not to be real? Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, it depends on luck. The man said indignantly.

"This passer-by, don't stand in my way, I, Liu Er, have no ability, I want to sell women to survive the famine, you have listened to it, and you have seen the jokes, please give way and let our family make a living."

Cui Yuanting said: "I don't mean to read the joke, but there is one more thing to ask: since the rebellion, the price of rice has soared is the truth, but a certain person came from the capital, and the price of rice in the counties along the road is mostly between 800 and 1,000 Wen, why is the price of rice here more expensive than other places?" ”

Liu Er rolled his eyes in his heart, and only said: "I don't think you are like a person from this county, I advise Gongzi, live your life well, don't come to us!" ”

"Why do you say that the price of rice is more expensive than other places, you have to ask those people in the yamen and ask them what good things they have done......

At this time, the woman who had been crying suddenly pulled the corner of her husband's clothes and looked at him frequently: "Don't say it! ”
