Liu Yunmian felt a little strange.

She and this child are also on the same side, why did he come to the door to find him?

And as the fat girl said, his worth should be far more than five taels of silver.

I don't know if it's because he's too careful, she thinks there's something strange about this matter.

Guanyin, who was playing with buns, said curiously when he heard this: "You can buy someone for five taels of silver!" That mother, can you buy him for me? ”

He touched the bun with an innocent expression.

Liu Yunmian sighed: "How difficult the people's livelihood is, in a disaster year, it may be possible to buy someone with a few catties of grain." The master can beat and scold the person he buys at every turn, and kill him for life...... Guanyin slave, the poor are not easy. ”

This kind of cruelty is a bit beyond Guanyinnu's imagination, so he was silent, and only said after a while: "Mother, I don't want to beat and scold him, I want him to play with me, he is very good at juggling." ”

That way he doesn't have to go out to see it in the future.

Liu Yunmian nodded: "I know you are a good boy." ”

She didn't want to instill a lot of heavy things into Guanyinnu, but she also didn't want him to be ignorant of the suffering of the world.

"What's your name?" Liu Yunmian looked at the little boy and asked.

It may have taken too much courage to break in, and the little boy was a little nervous, "I, my name is Dog." ”

This name is casually shouted when you hear it.

At this time, it is easy to pay attention to cheap names, but his name is probably just that the person who named it refuses to be careful.

"You have a snack." Liu Yunmian said with a smile.

The fat girl pressed the person on the stool and didn't let him get up again to kneel for Liu Yunmian.

The dog was a little anxious, but he couldn't struggle, although the snack in his hand was tempting, but he was not in the mood to eat the snack at this time.

"You said that I would give you five taels of silver to redeem yourself," Liu Yunmian said, "This is what the class master told you, can you redeem yourself for five taels of silver?" ”

In her words, the dog couldn't answer at once.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Liu Yunmian guessed that the five taels of silver might have been said by himself.

"Also," Liu Yunmian said again, "I don't need anyone at home. Even if I buy you, do you have a place to go? Do you have any other relatives? ”

When the dog heard this, he raised his sleeve to cover his face and cried out.

He hadn't cried in a long time.

Because even if you cry, no one cares, and it can only attract ridicule and even beatings.

But today, he just can't control it.

"No, I don't have any family." The dog choked and said, "When the head of the class was drunk, I told people that when I was very young, I was carried into Beijing by my mother to find my father. Later, my mother became seriously ill and died, so the class owner took me in. ”

"Looking for relatives in Beijing? Do you know who your dad is? ”

"I don't know." "I was only three years old at the time, and I don't remember anything. ”

He doesn't remember what his mother looks like, let alone the father who may not have met before?

"So, what about other clues about your identity and background?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything."

The class master didn't know, or rather, didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Then ......" Liu Yunmian thought for a moment and then asked, "In the past few years, you have been following the class master in the capital?" ”

"Yes." Gouzi said, "We walk the streets and alleys in the capital, perform for people during the New Year's holidays, and learn ......juggling at other times."

The days are too hard, so bitter that they are numbing.

No one helped him, and he sank deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Only on the Yuan Festival that day, the piece of silver that Liu Yunmian secretly stuffed into his hand made the seed called rebellion in his young heart germinate again.

"Madam, the head of the class is too fierce, he doesn't let him have a full meal, and he always beats and scolds...... Others can grow up, and life will be better when they grow up, but I can't......"

Seeing him mourning and crying, Liu Yunmian was also distressed.

Even if he is eight years old, he is older than Guanyinnu, that is, a child.

If it weren't for someone who deliberately sent him to himself, then he did suffer a lot.

Liu Yunmian said: "Five taels of silver, I can't redeem you for yourself......

"Yes, ma'am, yes." The dog wiped his tears, and was overjoyed because of Liu Yunmian's loose attitude, and his black eyes were shining.

"There was a Xi'er before, who broke his leg and was sold by the class owner for five taels of silver."

"Broke a leg? You also know that she broke her leg and can no longer make money for the class owner. ”

"As long as you promise," said the dog, "you will come tomorrow, and you will come again tomorrow to redeem me." I, I ......"

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yunmian's heart sank.

This kid probably wants to break his leg too.

First of all, self-harm is distressing, and secondly, how can he do it?

The dog's voice was very small: "Xi'er fell from the pole, that's why she ......"

"Such a high pole," Liu Yunmian couldn't help but raise her voice, "She just broke her leg, it's her fate!" What if you break your head and die? ”

"That, that's not afraid." Dog said.

His tears seemed to flow endlessly.

Liu Yunmian felt terrible in his heart.

Why do you have to bear so much for such a young child?

She has little strength and can't save all the children.

But this one who asked for help in front of her, she couldn't see death and not save her.

Even the fat girl spoke for him: "Mianmian, he blames the pitiful." Why don't you ask Lu Ci for help and see if you can buy him back? ”

Guanyin Nu raised his hand in approval: "Buy it back and play with me!" Mother, I have money, what about my New Year's money? ”

Liu Yunmian glared at him, "Buying someone is such a big thing, can't you discuss it with your father?" ”

Compassion can be there, but it can't be overflowing.

Self-preservation always comes first.

Liuyunmian patiently said to the dog: "You don't have that kind of thought of hurting yourself anymore. You sneaked out, didn't you? ”

The dog lowered his head and said with a weak heart: "Class master, the class master asked me to come out to run errands, I have seen the little master, and I also secretly followed him to find your residence, so I secretly ran to find you......"

"Then you go back quickly." Liu Yunmian said, "If you didn't lie to me about your life experience, I will let someone take the silver to redeem you." Five taels or fifty taels, you don't have to worry about it, but when you go back, don't mention it to anyone, you know? ”

She also didn't want to be wronged and blackmailed by the class owner.

The dog knelt down and kowtowed to her again, and said in a loud voice: "I listen to you, I beg you, you must come." I'll be a cow and a horse for you in the future, madam, thank you. ”

"Go back quickly, lest the class master embarrass you."

The dog turned around and walked away, still holding a snack in his hand.

After he left, Liu Yunmian explained the truth to Guanyin Nu and the fat girl in detail.

"He's very pitiful. But think about it, did the class master take advantage of his pity to make people pay for it? In the same way, there are people who want to take advantage of his pity to pry open the door of our house. ”

The heart of defense is indispensable.
