Chapter Seventy-One: Earning a Stutter
Although Xiao Ying'er guessed this possibility early on, when she really heard these words from Wu Zijiang's mouth, she still couldn't help kicking him.
Wu Zijiang covered his sore buttocks, with dissatisfaction, "Why are you kicking my ass?" It's not my fault, I'm also forced to be helpless. ”
Wu Zijiang sighed and confided in his difficulties, "You have also seen that there are more and more smallpox in the village now, and the rice and grain at home are almost gone, if you don't want to go out to earn stuttering, you will starve to death sooner or later."
Xiao Ying'er was still dissatisfied, and hit Wu Zijiang in the back with a fist, This time, she retracted her strength, but her eyes were still staring at Wu Zijiang's every move.
"Nor can you make money that ignores your conscience, for you will suffer retribution."
Wu Zijiang shook his head, not agreeing with what Xiao Ying'er said.
"Do you remember the Wu family who bullied you, she is now in this group of people, because she cheated a lot of money, she is still a team leader in the team, and all the children under her hands are us."
Wu Zijiang kicked a stone away, looking helpless.
He also thought about escaping, but seeing the terrible appearance of those who had been captured being beaten with blue noses and swollen eyes, and vomiting blood in their mouths, this thought was completely discarded in his mind.
He couldn't run, and he didn't dare to run.
As long as he obediently sells the potion according to Wu's requirements, he will be able to have food to eat and clothes to wear.
Even the degree of food and clothing is better than before at home.
"Didn't the Wu family be sent to the barracks as logistics, why did they appear here with you?" Qu Chengzhou asked rhetorically.
"This time smallpox affected a lot of people, even in the barracks there are people who have been infected, the battalion general heard that there is a potion that can cure this disease, it just so happened that Wu volunteered and took the initiative to take this task, she relied on the identity given in the barracks to show off her power here, while making money, now, it belongs to her pocket with the most money."
Wu Zijiang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he could only blush, and he couldn't do anything else.
Xiao Ying'er knows very well what Wu is like, she is a smiling tiger, she talks about people when she sees people, and talks nonsense when she sees ghosts.
Pretending to be a good person in front of outsiders, and the ugly face in private, Sakura still can't forget it.
In the days after returning to the capital, she would always dream that Wu would beat and scold her.
Unexpectedly, after Wu was taught a lesson by his uncle, not only did he not have any introspection, but took advantage of this smallpox disease, stood at the windward port, flew into the sky, and the pheasant turned into a phoenix.
"Let's go, it's time to meet old acquaintances." Qu Chengzhou's tone couldn't hear the emotion.
Xiao Ying'er subconsciously grabbed the corner of Xiao Yun's clothes, and she followed behind him, unable to hide the panic in her eyes.
Xiao Yun had heard some things about Xiao Ying'er in the city, and presumably this Wu family was the one who abused Xiao Ying'er before.
This kind of fear engraved in the bones will not be able to be removed for a while.
Xiao Yun soothed, "You don't have to be afraid, so many people here will definitely be able to protect you." ”
It was as if a light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then, one after another lights lit up, completely illuminating Sakura's heart.
"Don't be afraid, Sakura, the third uncle will protect you." Qu Chengzhou couldn't see Xiao Ying'er's fear and grievances.
This Wu family must let her be a man with her tail between her legs.
Xiao Sakura's heart is warm, and she is not as scared as before.
Wu Zidong led the people back, all the way south, in a village at the foot of the mountain, one of the largest houses money, Wu Zidong stopped.
"This is where we gathered, there aren't many people now, everyone else has gone out to sell potions, you come in with me first, and the Wu family will come back at noon." Wu Zijiang told everything he knew.
Xiao Ying'er nodded at Wu Zidong, she also thought a lot about this way.
Wu Zijiang also has his own suffering, and the person behind the control is the worst one.
As long as the people behind the scenes are arrested, this matter can be truly resolved.
There were also two five-year-old boys in the room, and they glanced at Sakura and the others, and looked at their clothes as if they were expensive.
stepped forward one by one and gave Wu Zijiang a thumbs up, "You are quite powerful, you brought back so many people not long after you went out, you will definitely be praised today." ”
"It's so enviable, I haven't found anyone to buy potions for two days, when Wu Shuiying comes back, I will definitely be beaten, otherwise it's okay, you let me have two guests, and I'll return it to you later."
This abacus clanged, and anyone knew that this was a big pie.
Wu Zijiang knew very well that they didn't come here to buy potions, but he couldn't tell it in front of these two people.
"That's not good, I finally met these distinguished guests, and I am still waiting to be praised, if I give up the guests to you, how can I climb on your head." Wu Zijiang smiled in disgust.
The other two pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You're really selfish, and you only care about yourself."
"Don't think about us at all, be careful to walk at night in the future."
The two men left the house with dissatisfaction.
Wu Zijiang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't find out that something was wrong.
Sakura found a chair to sit down, and she was tired from the journey.
There are three tables here, and there are fifteen chairs in total, and it seems that there are already fifteen children under the control of the Wu family.
Xiao Ying'er really wanted to see the way Wu saw her, she was not as scared as she was at the beginning, there were Xiao Yu and them by her side, and Wu couldn't move her.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside, Wu pushed the door into the courtyard, and saw a few people in brocade clothes and jade robes appear in the house, and immediately stepped forward excitedly.
These people must be rich lords, as long as they convince the other party to buy their potion, the money will go into her pocket.
Wu trotted into the house excitedly, looked up and saw Qu Chengzhou's face, her heart sank, and the smile on her face froze.
"You...... How did you guys get here? Wu Shi lost her happy mind in an instant, and her only chance to be deflated was on the Qu family.
Wu was so shocked that he forgot to flee for a while.
"Why can't we come? You are here to open your doors for business, and you are waiting for a guest to come to your door. Qu Chengzhou asked in reverse.
Every word carries aggression.
Wu almost choked on his own saliva, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I didn't mean that, I just suddenly saw an acquaintance, and I didn't react for a while." ”
Wu's legs and stomach are about to tremble and cramp, and the Qu family is not easy to deal with, especially since she has done so many bad things to Xiao Ying'er before, presumably this Qu family must be more than just buying potions.
It must have been to come here to see how miserable her life was.
