Chapter 115
"Auntie, this is ......?"
"What a lady, I'm only in my early thirties!"
Qian Shi rolled his eyes and emphasized his age, and then lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Just now I heard you inquiring about a girl who died early under the age of fifteen, saying that you want to buy it to be a girl for the master underground, right?"
"That's true, but everyone in your village says that there is no little girl who died young, and I plan to go to the next village to ask again."
"Who said no?"
Seeing that he was leaving, Qian subconsciously reached out to stop him.
"Yes, yes, but I don't know how much you buy this girl?"
The living girl buys and sells the death deed about six to ten taels, and the dead should not be much worse. Qian stared at the guy as if he was going to eat him.
The man thought about the words of the shopkeeper and replied, "A girl has three taels of silver."
Three twos!!
Qian was overjoyed, but in order to earn more silver, he frowned and thought it was too little.
"It's only three taels, that's a big girl who hasn't married yet, and she's very diligent and diligent, so it's the most suitable to buy it back and serve people. You're going to go up a little more?"
"If you will serve people again, you will also die, and you will not be able to compare with the living. If you want to sell it, forget it, I can always buy it in a few more villages."
The guy watched people bargain in the pawnshop all day long, and his eyes were very sharp, and he could see at a glance that Qian's mood was very eager to sell, this kind of person didn't have to talk to her more, as long as she pretended to leave, she could nod her head immediately.
The guy took the burden and turned around to leave, but sure enough, the Qian family hurriedly came up to keep it, and agreed to sell the girl to him.
"Then let's make a deed as proof, and give money after pressing the handprint. But this handprint has to be pressed by my father and mother."
"No problem, little brother, you follow me to the house to drink a glass of water, and I will ask my man to come back and press his handprint."
Qian happily led the man home, but she was very weak-hearted, and she only dared to take people home from the forest, and did not dare to be seen by the villagers.
Half an hour later, the second father who was collecting firewood on the mountain came back, and the deed of the man was already dry.
"Is this big brother literate? If you are literate, please see if there are any problems, and if there is no problem, we will press the mudra."
The second father shook his head blankly, and when he looked back, his daughter-in-law also shook her head vigorously. Both of them are like this, let alone the other two old men, both of whom are illiterate.
"Little brother, wait a while, I'll take it and find the old boy in the village to take a look."
Qian was very active, took the deed and trotted out of the yard. Soon she went to the door of Lao Tongsheng's house, and after reading the content of the deed, Lao Tong was angry, and scolded Qian for thinking about money and going crazy, and scolded her for being a poisonous woman. But when a string of copper coins was in his hands, the old boy couldn't scold him.
He is an old man who only knows how to study and has not earned any money for so many years, and several daughters-in-law in the family have very opinions about him, so take the money back......
With short hands, Lao Tongsheng had to pinch his nose and admit it, and honestly read the deed to Qian's family.
"Huh...... Your deed doesn't look like a contract to buy a dead man, but like an ordinary deed of sale."
"It doesn't matter if it's alive or dead, as long as it can be exchanged for money if there is no problem. Uncle Huai, remember to help me keep it secret, don't tell the villagers." ….
Qian pointed to the copper coin in Lao Tongsheng's arms, and then excitedly trotted all the way home.
"In charge, Uncle Huai said it's no problem, let's press it!"
The second girl was a little hesitant. Recently, he has heard a lot of rumors, all of which say that Erya has become a ghost and lives on Baoshan Island, and that she died unjustly and wants to take revenge.
This enemy has no other house but his own family.
As many people said it, he slowly became a little convinced. No, I'm thinking about whether I will be angry and come back to him if I press my mudra.
Seeing that her husband still hadn't signed, Qian was very upset in her heart, but her face became more and more gentle, and she secretly pinched her son's thigh, asking him to win sympathy with tears.
"You're the head of the family, it's up to you to make up your mind."
The second girl can still speak
What, how is it important for a daughter to have a son? Besides, it was three taels of silver, which was equivalent to money falling from the sky.
In the end, the couple still pressed their handprints.
After the man collected the deed, he dropped another piece of silver, and hurried back with his things to resume his life.
It wasn't long before another stranger entered the village. This time it was not a guy sent by the second master of the year, just an ordinary servant, and he handed over the official document sent by the county government to Li Zheng and completed the work.
Li Zheng watched it for a long time, and his heart was still uncertain. The people who rented Baoshan Island turned out to be Ye Yu's mother and daughter!
Renting is much cheaper than buying, but even so, everyone knows that Baoshan Island is not cheap. Unexpectedly, the little girl did a big thing quietly.
But where did she get her money? Didn't you sell the shipwreck treasure last time and only have a few hundred taels of silver left? How could she rent such a large island?
Li Zheng had a question mark on his stomach, and happened to see his daughter-in-law Luo enter the house, so he subconsciously asked her a few words.
"Just now, the county government sent me an official document, saying that Baoshan Island and the sea area around the island have been leased, and I ask all villages to restrain the villagers and stop landing on the island at will. Do you know who rented this island?"
"Is this still a guess?"
Roche felt a little speechless.
"Ye Yu's family lives on the island, who else will buy the island."
"Aren't you surprised??"
"Of course I'm surprised, but what does it have to do with us, people are doing well, you just need to take care of the villagers."
Li Zheng sighed secretly and nodded in agreement, and then walked on the old straw sandals to discuss the matter of restraining the villagers with a few respected elders in the village.
At this time, the Ye Yu family did not know how much of a sensation they would bring to the fishing village, and they were looking for everything they could buy for money on the wet beach.
The family rented such a large island, and the three of them were very happy, and the sea animals they caught today were all prepared for their own food.
Ye Yu followed for a while, and then couldn't help but run to the reef forest curiously, standing at the highest place, looking at the small island in front of him.
The two small islands in front of and behind Baoshan Island have no names, but she thinks they can also be called Chengbaoshan Island. Because after the tide recedes, the road between the two islands is also exposed, and it is clear that the two islands are connected. At low tide, you can walk on your feet without a boat, which is very convenient.
Ye Yu wanted to go to the island over there to check and check, and when she hesitated yesterday, it was the shopkeeper Lu who encouraged her to rent it, and later when she went out, she explained that she also read a travelogue, and I heard that a long, long time ago, a group of bandits lived on Baoshan Island. They occupied the island and claimed the throne, but they were later purged by the imperial court.
The people were cleared, but the money was nowhere to be found, and it was later written into a travelogue and passed down from generation to generation.
I heard that it was a travelogue from hundreds of years ago, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Ye Yu didn't report any hope, just thinking that he should go to the island to have a look and see if there were any other fruits to get home.
"A-Niang, I'll go to the front island to have a look, and I'll be back soon~".
