Chapter 21: Distributing Things
Over there, before the dynasty could speak, the Zhao couple below pulled each other, and within two clicks, Zhao Dahai walked out with the thin girl in his arms, and said with a smile: "What, Wang Dangtou, look ......"
looked at the child in his arms, but he was just over a year old, so thin that he was only skinny.
And because he didn't have anything to eat, he was now listlessly leaning on Zhao Dahai, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second, completely unaware that his father was eager to sell himself.
Thinking of a child who was almost the same age, Wang Chao's heart suddenly choked, "Go back, how can you speak!" ”
Zhao Dahai smiled, his face suddenly became ugly, and then he walked back with the child in his arms, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Lu Tao looked at it expressionlessly, without any waves in his heart, he had seen a lot in the last days, what was this.
However, the old bustard was overjoyed, shook off Xiupa, and said with a smile: "Ouch official, you see, people's fathers are all willing, so this ......"
The dynasty that didn't want to agree was stirred up by Zhao Dahai, and it was not good to say anything, so he sighed lightly: "Okay, as long as it's voluntary, I won't stop it." ”
"Eh, okay, thank you, sir." The old bustard smiled on his face, twisted his old waist, and walked towards the crowd step by step.
After a while, the cries of the girls came and went, and the howls of the women.
"Daddy, she is still young, only one year old, why are you so patient."
"Let go, don't sell, what do we eat and drink?"
"Mother, mother, woo, ah......"
"Big brother, sell it quickly, otherwise what will our father and mother eat? You can't bear to see them starving like this at such an age? ”
"No, no, third brother, I don't sell, I don't sell."
"Her third uncle, why don't you sell your family."
"Mother, don't sell your little sister, don't sell it, I'll raise her, I'll raise her."
"Brother, woo......"
"Yuan Niang, didn't I say it, this child is dying, while he still has a breath, hurry up and sell it."
"No, mother, the child's father is gone, just such a child, I can't cut off his incense."
"Hmph, don't sell it? What do we eat without selling? I'm afraid that before I reach Lingnan, I will all starve to death! Give me! ”
"Don't give, woo~ I don't give ~ Even if the child dies, it's still my child, woo~"
The quarrels were noisy, the women cried more, and it was clear that some women were not willing to sell their daughters, but were forced by their husbands or so-called relatives.
Wang Dynasty looked at it and couldn't bear it.
But he also knew that the exile was a long way, and without the protection of adults, most of these children would die in exile.
Even if you get to the destination, if you don't obey, you will be confiscated after you grow up a little, and the end is actually not much different from going to the Qinglou, but it's a matter of morning and night.
Some will even be sold, what is the difference between it and now?
Eh~
sighed softly in his heart, and stopped looking at the children who were sold.
He drove his horse to Lu Tao, thinking that she would be sad, but to his surprise, there was no at all!
She leaned against the barrel and looked at it coldly, her hair was messy, her thin lips were condensed, and her whole person was gathered in a cold, and her dark eyes were calm and unwavering, sad and joyless, and sunk to ...... There is no bottom in sight.
A chill hit his heart inexplicably, and Wang opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to say were completely annihilated at this moment.
This man is too rational!
Rational to the point of being frightening.
In a short time, many of the children were loaded and pulled away, and the parents or relatives smiled and counted the silver taels, and then carefully put them in their arms.
Some parents or single mothers who were snatched and sold by relatives cried bitterly.
Lu Tao watched from beginning to end, looking at it coldly, and his heart was not turbulent.
After the bustards were gone, Lu Tao retracted his gaze and continued to lean on the barrel.
"Old Ke, send Miss Lu over." Wang Chao spoke to the oldest official, and he sighed a little weakly as he looked at the missing one-third of the people.
Lao Ke got the order, nodded with a smile, and then drove the donkey cart to the place where the Lu family was.
"Come, Lu Laoweng, your precious granddaughter is back." Lao Ke got off the cart with a smile, shoved the whip into Old Man Lu's hand, and left with a smile, he bought wine, and had to sit and drink something.
Old Man Lu took the whip, looked at the donkey cart and the things on the donkey cart again, and looked blank: "This ...... What's going on? ”
When the Lu family's big room, second room, and fourth room saw the things in this car, they all gathered around, looking at it curiously and wonderingly.
"Third child, what are you doing here? What's the matter with carts and donkeys? ”
Lu Xueqing, the head of the second room, asked enviously, while asking, he also touched the donkey cart here and there, and muttered in his mouth:
"Yes, that's great, with this thing, it's a lot easier on the road."
Hearing this, Lu Tao glanced at him, in his memory, this second uncle was a bit cheating and cheating, and he loved to be greedy for small gains, but that's all, he didn't have bad intentions towards the Lu family.
"Eh, that's good."
Lu Changqing, the big house of the Lu family, was also envious, and followed Lu Xueqing (the head of the second room) around the donkey cart, "I didn't use it before, but I didn't expect it to be used now, eh." ”
Lu Changqing, the eldest of Lu Tao's father's generation, is honest and honest, and often helps their family, so Lu Tao's family likes him very much.
"That, that......" Lu Zihao was embarrassed to say the sentence 'can we sit down'.
looked at his son and daughter beside him, they all had envious looks in their eyes, he pursed his lips, and didn't know what to say.
Lu Zihao, the head of the Lu family's four rooms, is very smart, likes to hunt, the meat at home has almost never been broken, and he will give some to everyone in the Lu family to eat, and he has a good character.
Looking at these four uncles and uncles, Lu Tao had a general plan and plan in his heart.
Then he got up, moved his throat, and felt that he could speak in a soft voice before he spoke: "Dad, mother, come and get something." ”
"Eh, okay."
"Daddy, here we are."
Although I don't know why Wang Dangtou gave these things to his children, and I am afraid that there is some conspiracy, I feel happy just by looking at it.
The two squeezed into the crowd without saying a word, Lu Wenyi also rubbed his hands, didn't look like a child, and said with a smile: "Daughter, what do you want your father to do, you say." ”
"Take the clay pot in the bucket and get some water, and when it heats it up, give my brother a bath. Uncle gave these steamed buns to our family, uncle, you have everything. ”
Before the envious eyes had time to disperse, Lu Changqing (the head of the big house) who heard this sentence was stunned, and he was stupid: "I, we all have it?" ”
"Well, both." Lu Tao nodded, took out a small jar with a lid at the bottom, put the milk powder in it at the moment of the action, took out the bottle with the bark, and handed it to Liu:
"This one is for my brother. There's also diapers, and this little quilt, which I'll wrap in after bathing him. ”
Seeing these things, although not much, but each of them is urgently needed right now.
Liu's eyes were red, and his voice was choked: "Eh, okay." Or go around and think thoughtfully. ”
"So, how do you arrange this donkey cart?" Lu Wen also spoke, and before he finished speaking, a large clay pot was stuffed in his arms, and he listened to her daughter say nonchalantly: "Go get water to bathe the little brother first, and talk about the rest later." ”
