Chapter 35 finds Xiao Wu
When he returned to the main road, the old cow slowed down, Jiang Yan didn't give it a chance to rest, and slapped the cow's buttocks, and the old cow had to scold and scream twice, and then ran up.
I don't know how long I ran, the sky is getting darker and darker, Jiang Yan can't see the road in the distance very clearly, but she is not afraid at all, she didn't even look back to pick up the shoes when they fell off, and finally, when she arrived at the gate of the town, the old cow stopped, Jiang Yan jumped off the ground and tied the cow under a big tree.
She no longer hesitated, turned around and walked towards the person in her original memory, at this time the street was empty, and it was almost curfew time, and there were hardly many pedestrians on the road.
She searched carefully along the main road, and the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and she approached to see that it was the carriage she had seen in the morning, and this was the gate of the man.
Jiang Yan had a lot of feelings for a while, and kept replaying the morning picture in her mind, the carriage was full of children's cries, and the sound of a woman beating and scolding the child, she didn't think much about it at that time.
Now it seems that Xiao Wu was in that carriage at that time, less than five meters away from her! Jiang Yan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, if she took Xiao Wu in the morning, she wouldn't let him be sold like a commodity by Jiang Sanzhu!
For a while, Jiang Yan's mind was full of pictures on modern TV, people beating and scolding the children who were sold, and the appearance of flesh and blood making her almost breathless.
Xiao Wu is so stupid, he can't say everything, and he doesn't know how he will be tortured! She's got to find him!
Jiang Yan immediately went to check the carriage, there was no one inside, she ran to knock on the door, and the sound of knocking was particularly harsh on this quiet street.
After a while, a bearded man pushed open the door, glanced at Jiang Yan, who was dressed like a beggar and very embarrassed, and scolded angrily: "You are sick!" It's all closed, what are you knocking on! ”
Jiang Yan put the kitchen knife she had been holding in her hand to her chest, pointed to the carriage and said, "My son let people sell it!" I'm coming to him, I'll give you back the money, give me back my son!" ”
The strong man laughed at once, this old woman, who is fooling with a kitchen knife! He roared: "We bought and sold dozens of children this day, who knows which one your son is?" Besides, it's all sold, how can it be returned to you! ”
Jiang Yan calmed down and continued calmly: "My son has burned out his brain since he was a child, and his body and bones are not good, it is useless for you to keep him, I am willing to give more money, you might as well give him back to me!" ”
The strong man wanted to say something, but Jiang Yan interrupted: "You just want to resell my son to other places, like my son, there will be no big family to ask for him, even if he is sent to work as a coolie, he is not in good health, he can't work for a few days, and he is still young, you still have to spend money to raise him, now give me back, I will give you some more money, this business, you will not lose money after all!" ”
Jiang Yan has to say this, she is an old peasant woman single-handedly, and if she wants to ask for someone from someone, she can only use the way of buying and selling.
She had tears in her eyes, but her face was still calm, and she said in a loud voice: "My son is not something I am willing to sell, but a wicked person who forcibly sells it to you, except for me who is willing to spend more money to buy it back, no one else is willing to spend money to buy it... Buy a fool! ”
"It's useless for you to say this......" As soon as the strong man spoke, he was prepared by a voice behind him, and a man in fancy clothes interjected: "What this lady said is reasonable, then you can come in and see which one your son is." ”
Jiang Yan took a look at this rich old man, who was dressed much more gorgeously than ordinary people, and it seemed that he was either the boss or a big guest here.
"My name is Shangguan Mingzhi, I am the chief shopkeeper here, I think the eldest lady has an extraordinary bearing, not like an ordinary village woman, but the wife of a merchant in distress?"
Shangguan Mingzhi looked at Jiang Yan with a smile, he had been crisscrossing the mall for many years, and he had seen many people, and ordinary village women had never had such articulate and calm and ruthless momentum.
When Jiang Yan heard this name, a little fat man flashed in her mind, and she was puzzled: "I don't know who Shangguan Zixuan is?"
"It's my son, but do you know Madame?" Shangguan Mingzhi asked in surprise, knowing his son, it seems that he is really a big family in distress.
Jiang Yan saw a trace of surprise in his eyes, and said without changing his face: "I'm just a village woman, the shopkeeper doesn't have to be formal, just call me Aunt Jiang, I set up a small stall selling food in the East Street, and the noble son has been there, and I heard him read his name, because it is rare to have a compound surname, so I am more impressed." ”
"It turns out that the rice noodles are made by Aunt Jiang, and the cold tofu, which tastes delicious and sweet after being roasted with meat, and it tastes appetizing and refreshing, especially the chili sauce, which is very appetizing to me."
He also wanted to go to the stall early tomorrow to eat in person, but before he ate a few bites today, he was robbed clean by Shangguan Zixuan's stinky boy!
Shangguan Mingzhi was gentle on his face, and his every move was very polite and generous, Jiang Yan could see that although this person was thoughtful, he was not a bad person, so he immediately put down the kitchen knife in his hand.
"Shangguan shopkeeper, my son was sold here by gangsters, and please let him go, I am willing to pay more!"
Shangguan Mingzhi nodded, and took Jiang Yan to a row of houses in the backyard, he is a businessman, although he doesn't know why a village woman has such a bearing, but thinking of the spicy hot sauce, he is willing to make friends with such a person, just relying on this hot sauce, this woman will definitely not be just a village woman.
This person's place doesn't look big from the outside, but there are many buildings and open spaces inside, Jiang Yan followed Shangguan Mingzhi to a room, and there was a faint cry inside.
"Little Five? Little Five, are you in there? Jiang Yan shouted anxiously.
"Who's shouting outside?"
An old woman with a mean face walked out, and after seeing Shangguan Mingzhi, she whispered to the shopkeeper, and then said, "I don't know what is the matter with this eldest sister?" ”
Jiang Yan glanced at the old woman and knew that this was her mother-in-law, so she hurriedly said, "I'm looking for my son, he should be inside." ”
When the old woman saw that Jiang Yan was about to go in, she hurriedly pulled her and said, "These are all children who were sold in today, and they have already signed a deed of sale!" ”
"I have promised Aunt Jiang that her son can destroy the deed of sale and sell it back to her at the original price, and you let her go in and find it." After Shangguan Mingzhi finished speaking, the old woman stopped pulling Jiang Yan.
At this time, Lin Feng's faint shout also came from the room: "Mother...... Mother, Xiao Wu hurts...... Little Five Pain ......"
When Jiang Yan heard this voice, her eyes were torn, and she roared at the old woman with a hideous face: "What have you done to him?" ”
The old woman's face was terrified, she glanced at Shangguan Mingzhi timidly, then looked at Jiang Yan who was angry, and whispered: "Most of the children who just came in are strong and undisciplined, I just disciplined them according to the convention, and I don't have to worry about my life!" ”
Jiang Yan's face was ugly, and she ran to the room in a few steps, and many children stood up one after another, all of them were children about ten years old, all of them looked at Jiang Yan curiously on the spot, only four or five children were lying on the ground, dragging their bodies and looking towards the door.
