Chapter 7: Lu Yu sells babies for food
The old woman thought for a moment and took another step back, "That's ten catties of grain." ”
"Two catties, no more." After the man finished speaking, he gestured to sit back in the position he had just placed.
Tao Qiqi watched the whole process.
Originally, she wanted to change the little girl from the old woman, but now that she thinks about it, compared to the arrogant and unreasonable old woman, it is easier for those two men to deal with.
Seeing the excitement, it is not a big deal, Tao Qiqi pulled the corners of his mouth, and gently dropped a sentence: "If it is me, half a catty of food is too expensive for me, at this time, having money is not necessarily better than having food." ”
Sure enough, after listening to Tao Qiqi's words, the old woman began to think in her heart, and after a while, she slowly spoke again: "Add a little, four catties." ”
Seeing that the man was unmoved when he heard the four catties, the old woman had to take a step back, "Three catties, three catties really can't be less, this cheap hoof can not only accompany the two masters when they buy it back, but also do some work." ”
Listening to the old woman's words, the two men looked at each other, then turned around, and one of them asked, "Can you sell this stinky girl?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I am her grandmother, her mother died last year, her father, my son, that, there, my leg was a little injured. That's why I brought her here. ”
The old woman pointed to a group of people a few meters away, and then continued, "The other two are also my sons." The people sitting around are all my family. We have a lot of family, if we don't have to, we won't sell her, and if the two masters don't do it, we will add some more. ”
The old woman has a bit of a brain, and while taking advantage of the large number of people in her family to sell her pity, she hinted to the two men, I have a lot of family, you two don't want to bully me an old woman.
The two men looked in the direction the old woman pointed, and one of them asked, "Is there any deed of her?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The old woman said and took out the little girl's deed from her bosom and showed it to the two men.
The two men nodded after seeing it, and one said, "That's okay, three catties of grain, we bought it." ”
"Success, success." The old woman didn't expect to finally sell the money-losing goods, although she only got three catties of grain, it was enough for them to eat for a while, and she immediately closed her mouth happily.
As soon as the contract of selling was signed, the food was taken, and before leaving, he did not forget to scold the little girl viciously: "Cheap hooves, lose money and goods, you will follow these two masters in the future." Don't blame grandma for being ruthless, there's no way, there are so many people in the family waiting to eat, now this is the case, if I don't sell you, then our whole family will starve to death. Even if you honor me with these three catties of grain, you will no longer be a member of my old Fang family in the future. Do it yourself. ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
It's just that I didn't take two steps just now, and my two feet seemed to be a little too excited, and I didn't listen to the old woman's words, and I stepped on my left foot and my right foot had their own ideas.
Then the old woman gave an intimate hug to Mother Earth, and the grain bag in her hand flew out.
The old woman was too happy just now, but her face hit the ground first, and when she got up for the missing grain bag, Tao Qiqiyi, who was watching the play next to her, couldn't help but snort, and almost didn't choke on her own saliva.
The face of the flattened face was dusty, and the nose was bleeding in an instant.
The old woman didn't care about her bleeding nose at that time, and quickly got up to find the grain bag.
As a result, I found a large circle of grain bags, but I didn't see the shadow.
"Grain bags, my grain bags, where are my grain bags, is there anyone looking at my grain bags. My grain bag yo!! Oops, my grain bag, yo
This picture, Tao Qiqi couldn't help but feel 'sympathy' in her heart when she saw this picture.
For the first time, I felt that 'the bamboo basket was empty' could also be used as a compliment.
Seeing this, the two daughters-in-law immediately ran over, first obediently helped the old woman up, and then also helped to find food.
The closest to them was Tao Qiqi, and a woman had the courage to ask, "Gong... Son... You... Have you... Look at... Look, our grain bags. ”
Tao Qiqi couldn't help but smile and replied, "No." ”
As a result, the old woman next to her was not happy, "It must be you, you are in a group, and the food must have been taken by you." Definitely in her carriage. Go up and find it. ”
"I see who dares!" Tao Qiqi snorted coldly, and the old woman was so frightened that she almost lay down in Mother Earth's arms with her legs weak.
But after seeing her two sons also coming, her confidence came up again.
"Second, third, his food bag must have been taken by him, these people must be in a group, go to their carriage to find it, they must be hidden in the carriage."
"Dare to move!!" Tao Qiqi got out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage, don't look thin and small, but the aura was so cold that the second and third couldn't help but shiver.
The other woman on the side was also timid and afraid of making trouble, so she said to Tao Qiqi with a weak and pitiful look: "Childe, we didn't mean to offend, this grain is our family's life-saving food, just now my mother fell next to your carriage." In the blink of an eye, the grain bag is gone, so we are just, son, you can do it, let's go in and find it and take a look. ”
Looking at the woman in front of her, Tao Qiqi couldn't sympathize at all.
"What if I say no?"
When the old woman's son heard this, he said fiercely: "Then don't blame us for being polite!" ”
"Oh,......"
"What's going on? What's going on? Who's making trouble here?! Before Tao Qiqi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of an officer and soldier.
The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city saw that there was a commotion here, and hurried over to deal with it.
But when he pushed through the crowd and saw him Taoqiqi, he was surprised.
"What's going on?"
When the old woman saw that the official was coming, she immediately started her performance again, "The official, you want to make decisions for us, I am really miserable, and the family is waiting for that little food to live......"
"Speak well, get to the point!!" The official is also an anxious person, seeing that the old woman didn't talk about the point for a long time, he roared angrily, and swallowed back the next words that the old woman was scared of.
Then looked at Tao Qiqi, "You say." ”
"Yes, sir." Tao Qiqi responded, did not forget to salute the official, and then told the official what had just happened to the official.
After hearing this, the official said slowly, "It's not unreasonable for them to be so suspicious, of course, this person may not really fall into your carriage, so I'll go up and take a look, and if not, let them apologize to the prince and the lady in the carriage." Childe, do you think this is feasible? ”
"The official said, we naturally believe that the official will return our innocence. Please wait. ”
Tao Qiqi said, got into the carriage, and then got into the carriage to help Tao Qiniang down, and gave up the position for the official to go up to find it.
