There are three largest islands in the eastern part of the Yanhuang Islands, each with a number of medium-sized islands and small islands, which divide the entire Quicksand Islands into three major islands.

Xiushan Island, a medium-sized island under the jurisdiction of Sumeru Island, and Fangcun Island, a small affiliated island around it, in the courtyard of the old Yuan family, seven-year-old Yuan Lixia was drying the washed clothes, raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his face with his sleeve, looking up at the dazzling sunlight, ready to go back to the house to drink saliva, and then come back to continue to dry the remaining clothes.

As soon as he went around to the front yard, he heard the sound of talking from the landlord's house, Yuan Lixia heard his name mentioned, so he stood by the window and stopped out of curiosity, and just heard the voice of an old woman in the house say: "Just sell the girl in Lixia to the city, don't look at the girl who is still young now, but she looks not bad, she can sell it for ten taels of silver, plus the savings in her mother's hand, the dowry and the money for the banquet are enough." ”

Yuan Lixia was frightened when he heard this, his hands clenched the corners of his clothes, and he forced himself to remain calm, only to hear another middle-aged man in the room hesitate to say in a voice, "But if you want to sell that girl, I'm afraid that the Wang family will not agree,"

Then the old woman's slightly raised voice said, "It's her turn to agree or not, this family is still up to me, what can she do if she doesn't agree, and she still wants to go to heaven." When a daughter-in-law dares to disobey her mother-in-law, not to mention, the Wang family also has a son! She has to think about her son, a girl doesn't have much weight in her heart, you can rest assured, she won't have a stiff fight with us for that girl. ”

After a while, the middle-aged man replied, "Then listen to my mother." ”

Yuan Lixia under the root of the wall closed his eyes, and just wanted to turn around and go back to the backyard, when he heard a somewhat honest young man's voice coming out, "Since it's going to be sold, then don't sell it in the city, it won't sell for much, it's too close, in case she mixes up and has trouble in the future, just sell it to Xiushan Island, and sell it for more money." ”

The old woman's somewhat hesitant voice came out, "But we don't know anyone from Xiushan Island either!"

Then the honest young man's voice said: "Milk, I met a friend outside a few days ago, and he knows an immortal who came down from Xiushan Island, and specially picks those good-looking boys and girls, and one can give a thousand taels of silver!"

The old woman and the middle-aged man in the room were taken aback and exclaimed, "There are so many, it can't be a liar!"

I only heard the young man's voice and said: "No, I quietly inquired with my friends, the immortal chief is from the Fang family on Xiushan Island, what kind of family is the Fang family, it is a family with an immortal chief, a thousand taels of silver is a lot for us mortals, and it is not a fart in the eyes of the immortal chief." ”

There were two more gasps in the room, and the old woman opened her mouth and asked, "But where does the immortal chief need to give so much silver if he wants to collect slaves, and how many people can't ask for such a good thing!"

I only heard the young man's voice and continued: "Those who go to be serious servants and have wages, naturally some people beg, and this is different, I heard that the Fang family is looking for these people to raise them to make a furnace for the young master of their family." ”

The old woman opened her mouth and asked, "What is that?"

The young man opened his mouth and replied: "I heard people say that these immortals cultivate immortals to have immortal fate, but this immortal fate is good and bad, this young master of the Fang family belongs to the relatively poor immortal fate, it is difficult to cultivate by himself, but the family has a good background! Just rely on this to grow and cultivate. ”

The old woman's voice came again, "So, Lixia's dead girl also has a fairy fate, how did they know?"

The young man replied: "Milk, people are immortals, naturally there is a way to distinguish whether there is a fairy fate, my friend said that the steward of the Fang family has come to our island to check, and said that this girl in our family is a fairy fate, as long as we send this girl to the immortal chief, then there will be a thousand taels of silver, and you are still worried about your life?"

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice was a little hesitant, "But since that girl is a fairy, let's send her to the Peixian Hall in the city, so that she can also become a monk, and our family will have a backer in the future, wouldn't it be better?"

"You think beautifully, if that girl becomes a monk, it would be good if she didn't rectify and suppress us, and you still expect her to support us, you don't look at what kind of life she has lived all these years, don't look at her all day long, let her do whatever she wants, and hate us in her heart!" This was the old woman's voice.

The middle-aged man said angrily: "What does he hate about us, for her to eat and drink, he is not grateful, and he dares to be jealous!"

It was the old woman's disdainful voice again: "You only see that she eats and drinks, you don't look at who does the work at home, it's okay to say this to outsiders, is it interesting to lie to yourself? If she doesn't resist now, she has no ability, but if she becomes an immortal and has the ability, do you see if she will be so obedient." ”

The young man also echoed: "Yes, Dad, that girl has been in our family all these years, she has been the earliest, she has done the most, she has eaten the worst, and she has to be beaten from time to time, she is now pretending to be so obedient in order to suffer less, and she must be jealous of us in her heart, so for the sake of our future days, you must not let her grow up, even if you marry her out in the future to earn a dowry, what if she becomes an immortal and comes back to take revenge on us, the only way now is to sell him to the immortal chief of the Fang family to make a furnace, so that she does not turn over." In this way, we can have no worries. “

When Lixia heard this, he was hateful, angry and sad, but he also knew that there was no room for turnaround, even if he explained that he didn't have the idea of retribution, it is estimated that they would not believe it, so he quietly slipped to the backyard, fortunately, Linghua, who often went to dig wild vegetables with Lixia, could not dig wild vegetables at home today, and Lixia would wash the family's clothes at home in the morning, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark until he was sold.

The Yuan family also thought that she went out to dig wild vegetables, and the Wang family went out to hunt pigweed, and they were not at home, so they were so relieved to discuss at home without fear of being listened to.
