Chapter 202: Ask the Lady for a Name
"Can you two poor buns afford to give ten taels of silver?"
When the man saw that the price was quoted, he did not speak for a long time, and flicked his whip hand, and a sneer appeared on his face.
The boy who was kneeling on the ground trembled all over his body, curled up silently, and his hand, which was supposed to pinch the corner of his clothes, was dull for a moment, and he was about to let go.
Not only did the man with the whip not believe it, but these two people, who were both dressed ordinarily, could take out ten taels of silver, and even he himself kneeling on the ground knew that ten taels of silver was too much for ordinary families to afford.
Even if you can afford it, you won't spend ten taels for no reason and buy one... Slave......
Hua Shi ignored the sneer on the man's face, his eyes fell on the cage behind him, and the other person who was dying, with his back to them, lying on the edge of the cage, his thoughts paused slightly, and he raised his hand and pointed to look in that direction,
"Ten taels of silver, the one lying in the cage, I will also take it with me."
The man looked back, his eyes showed a touch of disgust, frowned, and immediately responded happily in the next second, "Okay, ten taels of silver, you can take both of them." ā
The man lying in the cage was about to lose his breath, and he didn't bother to ask someone to pull out his tongue again, and he was dying, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to cure it if he bought it back, as for the one kneeling on the ground, he was thin and small, and he might not be able to take it, maybe after pulling out his tongue for a while, he would be able to cut off his breath directly, and he wouldn't have to send it to the ring.
I got ten taels for nothing, and I earned it.
The boy who was about to let go suddenly heard the sound of the flower coming down, and at that moment, he was stunned.
The feeling of escaping death surged from his feet to his heart, and the blood flowed backwards, making him stiff with coldness, and he couldn't react for a long time.
The chains to his legs were removed, and he was still stunned, until both parties paid the money and drew the pledge, and two thin pieces of paper of the deed of sale dangled from his sight, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Bang Bang!"
The man with the whip in the iron cage slapped it impatiently several times, and scolded the person lying inside in a vicious voice, "Hey! Hurry up! ā
The man curled up on his hands and feet, propping up the cage, sat up slowly, with waist-length hair, scattered on the back of his head, and his head hung down, covering the look on his face, so that people could not see clearly.
"Hurry up, hurry up! What are you doing slowly! ā
The man standing in front of the cage, impatiently stretched out his foot and kicked the person out.
Then he looked at the flower and said, "Well, everyone is here, you can take it yourself." ā
After that, he ignored the four Hua Shi people standing in the corner of this side, took the whip, and continued to scold the remaining dozen or so people.
The boy who stood up straight, in a trance, still didn't react.
He... He's really bought and doesn't have to stay in this place anymore... No more drifting......
Xie Mingchi pulled the sleeve of the flower, and when he looked at the flower, he blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Ah Shi, how do you plan to place these two people?" Do you really want to take it back to the village? ā
He didn't stop it at first, because he saw the intolerance and soft-heartedness on Ah Shi's face, but ...... The situation in the village is complicated, and if such a person with a foreign surname who is unknown is brought back to the village, it will inevitably be criticized, which is more serious... They may also be expelled.
The village has never tolerated such people with foreign surnames......
Hanashi nodded, "Take it back." ā
I bought it all, naturally I wanted to take it back, I looked a little pitiful at first, but she now has enough money in her hand, she expects to keep enough two hundred taels to ask God to heal her legs for Hua Yu, and the rest... I'm ready to go back and push the old house and build a new one.
By the way, the bamboo forest in the backyard was also renovated, and I went back to conceive it well, drew the floor plan of the house, and then started construction.
Building a house inevitably requires money and effort, because there are more ideas in your mind, and there are naturally more things that need to be done in the future. In this case, bring two more people back, and when the plan is implemented, one more person will give you more strength.
At the moment, as long as Guan Wei's cooperative business is not broken, and the money is enough, raising two more people is just a matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks.
Hua Shi thought a lot, but he didn't think about Xie Mingchi's thoughts at this time.
"Ah Shi, the village is xenophobic, if you bring two people with foreign surnames back, there may be trouble at that time." Xie Mingchi reminded.
Then, he slowed down and said, "If you really want to bring it back, you will have to do it secretly." ā
If a foreigner wants to settle down in the village, it is best to think of a way to let the villagers accept it......
Hua Shi listened to Xie Mingchi's words and lowered his eyes to think.
I forgot about it......
The boy also heard Xie Mingchi's words, and although he didn't understand the reason, he also knew that it was... Can't you bring them back? That......
He gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, trying to say something, but not knowing how to say it.
Before he could finish his struggle, Hua Shi suddenly asked, "What's the name of the two of you?" How old is it? ā
The boy subconsciously raised his head, raised his eyes to look at her, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth: "I... I don't have a name, I'm seventeen. ā
Hanashi's gaze swept over his diminutive stature and thin body, "There's no need to lie in front of me, to be honest, you're really seventeen?" ā
The boy swallowed his saliva with difficulty, rubbed his hands helplessly, looked at the eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, and said in a little anxious manner: "Although I am not seventeen yet, I really have a lot of strength and can do a lot of work......"
Looking at Hua Shi's slightly frowning brow, the boy's voice weakened little by little, and he whispered, "Twelve years old,... IāI really don't have a name now, so I beg Madame to give me a name. ā
Hua Shi turned to look at the other person standing behind the boy, looked up, fell on his unkempt hair, and said, "What about you?" ā
The man lowered his head, his back hunched down, as if he was in a daze, and suddenly heard the voice of the flower, and knew that it was coming for him.
A hoarse voice sounded slowly, "Twenty-seven..., no name.... ā
