Chapter 1255 Selling himself as a slave

At Shen time in the afternoon, Baozi's little maid, Hua'er, carried a vegetable basket to the evening market about a hundred meters away to buy vegetables as usual. This is what she does every day. She chooses fresh ingredients at the evening market and buys enough for the day.

Although Huaer opened up a small vegetable field in the backyard of the county government office and raised a few chicks, the vegetables have not yet grown up, and the flood has affected the growth of the vegetables. Currently, the vegetables are not self-sufficient, and the chicks are also I haven't grown up yet.

Every time I go out, there will be a guard not far away to follow and protect, Hua'er is now used to it.

After about an incense stick, Hua'er came back from the evening market satisfied with a vegetable basket, and the vegetables in the basket were fresh and juicy. The guards following behind carried two big carps and a white-striped chicken in their hands, and kept a distance of about three meters from Hua'er, following them not too far or too close.

"Father, please don't, please, please don't sell me to Yichun Tower to sell my smile. That Wang Mistress always sends the girls she bought to Yichun Tower. Daddy please don't."

Just as Hua'er was approaching the small gate in the backyard of the county government office, a girl in coarse cloth with disheveled hair staggered over from the side path in a panic. His foot slipped, and he fell to the ground with a cry of surprise.

Unbiased, she fell down three or five meters away from the painting. The pear blossoms of the girl were crying with rain, she looked like a standard village girl, her cheeks were slightly dark, stained with dust, and revealed a touch of blush from working in the fields. Red, vaguely pretty, the clothes on his body are not very clean, crumpled, and there are traces of farm work.

The guard following Hua'er was very vigilant at first, and quickly approached Hua'er for protection. After seeing that the person who came was a weak woman, he felt that there was no danger, so he took two steps back.

After the girl fell down, a man ran up the path beside him. The man was tall and thin. He was about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing dirty and tattered clothes.

"Tweety, dad is really helpless, God won't give us a way to survive, we can't live on, the family can't open the pot, Ye Niang is sick again, if he doesn't give money, even the doctor won't take it Medicine, and brother ye, don't you love him the most, ye are willing to watch him starve to death."

The middle-aged man stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hand, and sighed heavily while tugging.

"Father, if you want to sell me, sell me to an ordinary family. Just please don't sell me to Wang Mi, she is Yi Chun Lou's mistress. If I fall into her hands, I will be sold into Yi Chun Lou. .Father, why don't you know where Yichun Tower is? If I was sold into Yichun Tower, there would be no way to survive. I can only make fun of others. Anyone can bully me. Thousands ride thousands of people to sleep , tortured to death alive."

The girl kept shrinking back, unable to stand up from the ground, as if the ground would be safe for her to dry, grabbed the man's sleeves with both hands, raised a face full of tears, begged bitterly, the voice was like The autumn wind blows through the bamboo forest, and the tears on the face are like the flood that burst the embankment.

"Tweety, daddy doesn't want to sell you to Mrs. Wang, but there is no other way. Other people think you are married and widowed, so they are only willing to pay 5 taels of silver at most. Only Mrs. Wang thinks you are still young I'm willing to pay 10 taels of silver for a job. Your mother's medical treatment in our family is more than 5 taels of silver. This doesn't mean that my brother and our family are living. If you only sell 5 taels, what's the use? Sell it to Mistress Wang."

The middle-aged man pulled the girl up vigorously, and said to the girl helplessly and decisively.

"Father, I don't beg you not to sell me, I just beg you to sell me to someone else, just don't send me into the fire pit."

The girl was crying with tears and snot, holding the middle-aged man's sleeves tightly with both hands, begging bitterly.

"Tweety, this is fate, there is no way, it is father who is sorry for you, and father will be your cow and maha in the next life."

The middle-aged man was about to shed tears, but he shook his head cruelly and insisted on pulling the girl up.

This girl is so pitiful. Seeing this scene in front of her, Baozi's little maid Hua'er couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

The security guard behind him saw this scene and let down his vigilance. Before the flood, he had seen many prostitutes. The poor people couldn't survive when they encountered difficulties. After the flood, the situation of selling children and daughters was much more than usual. The old man Zhang in their village sold his five-year-old son the day before yesterday.

As long as it is not forcible buying and selling or robbing women and other crimes, the government will not care.

At that time, they will hand over the money and the person, and sign a contract of sale. From then on, their fate will be controlled by the master, and there will be no freedom.

"Tweety, my father and mother treat you well. They say that the married girl poured water. But your husband and son-in-law died on the day you got married, and your in-laws scolded you as Kefu, and your parents took you back. We are raising them. Now that there is a natural disaster and your mother is sick again, our family can't live on anymore. There is really nothing we can do. Now your mother's life is hanging by a thread, so we are waiting for money to get medicine. Tweety, dad is really helpless. There is a way, since I was a child, I have never begged you, today, I beg you this time, I beg you Tweet."

The middle-aged man knelt down as he spoke, with tears streaming down his face full of bitterness and hatred.

"Dad. Dad, get up, my daughter is here, my daughter is here. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

Seeing the middle-aged man kneeling down and crying, the girl's defense line seemed to be broken, and she knelt down and cried loudly.

"Tweety, Dad is sorry for you, if you want to complain or hate, you can hate me, it has nothing to do with your mother or brother"

"Father, I don't blame you. If you want to blame it, you blame the world. This is my fate."

For a while, the father and daughter stood in front of Hua'er, hugging each other and crying. It was really sad for the listener to cry.

"Which one, which one, don't be sad"

Hua'er had been crying a long time ago, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were red, she stepped forward and called softly.

Father and daughter Lihua cried with rain and looked up at Hua'er with empty eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen to your privacy. Well, you better not sell your daughter, how can you send your own daughter to the fire pit, I have ten taels of silver, you take it for emergency, go home and live a good life "

Hua'er said with red eyes, took out a ten tael bank note from her sleeve, and handed it to the two of them.

"what?"

The father and daughter were more surprised than surprised.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, madam is really a bodhisattva. We kowtow to you."

The girl reacted first, and pulled the middle-aged man to kneel and kowtow, and the middle-aged man also reacted, and kowtowed continuously.

"Get up quickly, take it home quickly, your mother is still waiting to see a doctor and get medicine, don't delay"

Hua'er stretched out her hand to hold the girl, and handed the bank note to the girl.

"Enggong, although I can't read big characters, I also know shame. I'm not a beggar, how can I take money from my benefactor for nothing."

The girl cried and shook her head, determined not to accept it.

"Yes, we are poor and ambitious, so we can get money from our benefactor for nothing." The middle-aged man also shook his head resolutely.

"Hurry up and go home, your mother is still waiting to see a doctor and get medicine." Hua'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Father, I'll give you this money. You can take it home and see a doctor for your mother. If you buy some food and go home, my younger brother won't be able to bear the hunger. I will sell myself to benefactor, and I will be a cow and a horse to benefactor for the rest of my life. Repay your benefactor. Father, this is the last time I call you father. From now on, I will be a servant of the benefactor's family, and I will be at the benefactor's disposal. I have nothing to do with you. Good luck."

The girl bit her lip and made up her mind, took the bank note from Hua'er, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said to him with a determined face.

"Huh? No, really no." Hua'er waved her hands repeatedly.

"Then I don't want this silver ticket anymore, father, you'd better sell me to Wang Yamao, let a thousand people ride a thousand people, it's all my life"

Hearing this, the girl shook her head vigorously, and took the banknote back from the middle-aged man's hand while crying, and stuffed it back into Hua'er's hand, crying to the middle-aged man with a face of resignation and grief.

"Ah?! I'll buy it, I'll buy it." Hua'er couldn't help saying anxiously when she heard that the girl wanted to sell the Yichun Building herself.

So, Hua'er went out to the evening market to buy vegetables, chicken and fish, and on the way back, she bought a girl who was sold into slavery.

"Father, let's go. From now on, I have nothing to do with you. From now on, life or death depends on fate."

The girl Zhan covered her face with her sleeves at the gate of the backyard of the county government office. After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, she turned and walked into the backyard resolutely.

Under the sleeves, the corners of her lips curled into a curve, and she lowered her head. No one saw her pair of fox eyes, and she looked very energetic.
