The child's lowered head was raised and stared at Shen Ruoran, as if he was going to eat her alive.

Shen Ruoran was so frightened that he hid behind Wu Shuang, and muttered: "I'm not wrong, you are still reasonable, what is the murder, I will arrest you and go to the official in a while." ”

The child's tears fell, and he sobbed and said, "You guys arrest me and go to see the official, it's none of my sister's business, it's my unproductive." ”

Wu Guitian sighed, saw a few copper coins falling out of his messy cabinet, and asked, "Didn't I borrow some money from you a while ago, why did you steal it to my house today?" ”

The child walked to Wu Guitian on his knees and kept kowtowing to him, and after a while, his forehead turned red.

"The money I took will be repaid as cattle and horses, and you can take me to see the official, but I beg you to save my sister."

Wu Guitian asked: "If you are in trouble at home, we can help, why don't you open your mouth to borrow money, but you want to steal?" ”

The most shameful thing for the people in the village is this kind of behavior, if the hands and feet are not clean, they will be branded for the rest of their lives, and they will be looked down upon by others wherever they go.

The child shook his head: "That money is not enough at all, even if I borrow the whole village, I can't make up that much money." ”

Wu Shuang didn't know about this, so Wu Xiuwen explained to her on the side, saying that the child's parents were both dead, and he only followed his sister to make a living, and later his sister got married, so he brought him over.

Zhao Chun's sister, who disliked the child, was an orphan, felt unlucky, and did not agree to this marriage, but the two people were happy, and they broke up with the family and moved out by themselves.

At the beginning, the small life was quite prosperous, but Zhao Chun never came back from that sea accident, and the Zhao family thought that it was the child's sister who killed Zhao Chun, so they came to the door every day to make trouble, asking his sister to pay for her life.

The family has no labor, only can not go in and out, plus the cost of medical treatment, soon can not open the pot, can only borrow money around the village, but every family is not rich, everyone is not helping the poor, and gradually they will not lend to him.

"My sister can only rely on medicine now, and as soon as the medicine stops, it will kill her, Uncle Guitian, I really have no choice."

The Wu family has indeed been too ostentatious these days, and the tree is very popular, which will cause people to worry sooner or later.

Wu Guitian took him some money and asked him to see his sister first, and then sent the person away.

Shen Ruoran saw that Wu Guitian was so generous, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't wait to get into the cabinet where the money was placed, and said in his heart that the Wu family was really rich.

Silence returned to the courtyard.

Wu Shuang sat on the swing and shook it, refusing to go back to the house.

The clouds that had accumulated above Fang Cai's head had all dispersed, revealing a bright moon in the sky, and Wu Shuang looked at the sky in a daze.

Someone suddenly came behind her and put on a dress for her, Song Qingyuan asked, "What do you think, so distracted?" ”

He came against the moonlight, and the moonlight sprinkled behind him, gilding him with a layer of shining silver, as if he were an immortal envoy who had stepped on the moon.

Wu Shuang thought of his strange steps when chasing people just now, it didn't look like the kung fu of ordinary people's sons and brothers.

She used to think that his background must be rich, but now she feels that it is not just as simple as being rich.

His body seems to be entangled with countless secrets, intertwined, and there is no end in sight.

"I was thinking about that kid just now, and when he was cornered, he really did everything. I don't blame him, after all, he is still young and has little ability to make money. He took the money and went back and it will soon be spent, what if he finishes spent, will he steal it and rob it again? ”

Song Qingyuan smiled, with a little sadness in his smile, "There are too many sufferings in the world, and you can't manage them if you want to." ”

"But these 'human sufferings' that are close to me, if I have the ability, I still want to help them."

Song Qingyuan didn't expect her to say such a thing, and asked, "How are you going to help?" ”

Wu Shuang remembered the dish given in the system - braised tofu.

Tofu is not too troublesome to make, at least it is much easier for a child than going out to sea to fish, if she can study it and teach him the ability to make tofu, at least it can solve his food and clothing problem.

"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, teaching him the ability to make money is a long-term solution, I haven't thought of it for the time being, but the way, think about it, there will always be." Wu Shuang winked at him, returned his clothes and went back to his room to sleep.

"Interesting." Song Qingyuan looked at her distant back, and his voice was fluttering.

When Wu Shuang came back from the town, she bought a sack of soybeans, and mysteriously brought them into the kitchen, and she didn't say what they were for.

There is a hand-cranked mill at home, which can barely be taken out and used.

Boiling and grinding beans is not a problem, just the most critical step - brine.

The dosage can be adjusted slowly, but what is not said is nonsense, she is worried here, Shen Ruoran, who has nothing to do at home, came back from wandering outside, and said: "That kid was a demon again last night, and he didn't know what disease needed so much money, so he went to the door of the He family to sell himself." ”

Selling one's body is a one-shot deal, and from then on he will be a coolie for others, and he will not be free for the rest of his life.

Wu Shuang pulled her legs and ran to He's house, going out too quickly, and almost slipped when she turned the corner.

When she arrived, the He family was handing him the deed of sale, and when she saw that she was about to sign and draw a pledge, Wu Shuang snatched it away.

"We're not selling anymore."

The child and Master He were stunned.

"What are you/what you say, don't sell if you don't sell it? Let me tell you, there is no such shop in this village, how popular are you when this half of the child, it is not for the sake of the villagers that I agreed. If you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, I won't buy it. ”

Master He said that he was going to go back, but he was dragged by a leg by the child, "Sell, sell, sell, I beg you, Master He, I can do any job." ”

Wu Shuang pulled him away, "If you come to the He family, what will your sister do?" Who takes care of her at home? ”

When the child heard this, his mind was a little shaken.

Seeing that he was going to be persuaded to go back, Master He thought to himself that this boiled duck could still make it fly?

He had deceived this kid into asking for money in a hurry and didn't understand the market, so he gave him a low price, and he swiped it in black and white, even if he regretted it, there was no place to reason.

I didn't expect such a good livelihood to let the stinky girl who killed halfway be stirred.

"Come on, drag this stinky girl out for me and give me a beating." Master He spoke.

The servants of the He Mansion immediately stepped forward, and the two strong men reached out to pull Wu Shuang.

Before the hands of the two of them touched Wu Shuang's body, they were suddenly bounced away by a force that came out of thin air.

The two of them were so shocked that they covered their hands and screamed.

At this time, there were many people around to watch the excitement, and when they saw this strange scene, they suddenly felt that Wu Shuang might really be blessed by the sea god as rumored, and suddenly felt a little more awe.

Wu Shuang didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, and glanced around, as if he saw a flashing figure at the corner of a bluestone alley.

Someone persuaded him, "Master He, let's just look at it, Wu Shuang, this girl can't move." Your family He Xue is still sick, don't cause trouble anymore. ”

He Xue's matter was already strange, and after she came back, she was overly frightened, and the course of the matter was not clear, but Master He heard something, which obviously offended someone and made people calculate.

Master He glared at Wu Shuang and returned to the house with his servants.

The vermilion door slammed shut, locking the child's last bit of hope.

The child got up and walked back, and Wu Shuang followed behind and talked to him.

In fact, she is also a little weak-hearted, and she doesn't know if this tofu can be made, but no matter what, selling herself is not a good way, and it is okay to let this child come over to help her.

"What's your name?" Wu Shuang tried to liven up the atmosphere between the two of them.

"Two dogs." The child said weakly.

The second dog did not go in the direction of home, but to the sea.

"Aren't you going home?"

Ergou shook his head, "I'll go to the salt pan to help." ”

The family's fishing boat was also lost, so he had to find odd jobs around, go to the salt pans in the village to dry salt, earn several copper coins a day, and eat two meals.

Drying salt is hard work.

The second dog never straightened up when he walked, and his head was always hanging down to look at the road, like an ear of wheat that had been bent.

Wu Shuang looked at his thin body, and his heart was mixed.

When we arrived at the salt pans, the sun was scorching, and the large flat land was divided into patches, and a canal led the sea water into them, and there were workers busy on each salt pan.

Some were shirtless, their trousers tucked up to their calves, their swarthy backs shining in the sun.

Ergou informed the steward and soon went to work.

Some salt pans have crystallized coarse salt, white flowers, and they use this coarse salt nearby, although there are many impurities, but it is cheap.

Wu Shuang watched Ergou skillfully operate the process of drying salt, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Isn't that part of the liquid left after drying salt used as brine for some tofu?

This discovery made Wu Shuang excited, and immediately borrowed a bamboo tube filled with water and went back.

Wu Shuang rushed into the kitchen when she came back, and even Shen Ruoran made dinner at night.

During this period, Shen Ruoran came over to take a look and said curiously: "What are you doing here?" ”

Wu Shuang only perfunctorily said that she would drink soy milk tomorrow morning, and she would grind some beans and come out.

Her strength was limited, and after eating, several brothers were called over by Wu Shuang and took turns grinding beans for her.

The milky white soy milk is then followed in a clay pot, filtered with a muslin cloth, and then put on the stove to boil, and wait until the soy milk has cooled slowly before starting to marinate.

Wu Shuang couldn't grasp this ratio well, so she could only cook the ground soybean milk in batches until the appropriate ratio was adjusted.

In order to avoid the soybean milk from spoiling overnight, she tried again and again, failed again and again, until the sky was bright, and finally made a piece of tofu.

This tofu is just soft and hard, elastic but not scattered, exuding a bean fragrance.

Wu Shuang wrote down the proportions and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Qingyuan warmed up breakfast and brought it to her, looked at the boxy white and tender thing in front of him, and stretched out his hand to poke it.

The tofu shook and gathered but did not disperse.

Song Qingyuan was surprised: "This is what you made after staying up all night?" ”
