Chapter 222： Being sold, help count the money!

Chapter 222: I was sold, help me count the money!

“We were sold by our family since we were young and followed our class leader to perform songs and dances everywhere.”

“Hello, our class master, there are barbarians outside, please take us to hide here.”

The two little girls were probably young and timid, and they didn’t quite understand what they were saying, which made everyone feel a little pity for them.

Even Jia Yi and Liu Yang shared some of the pickles brought from home.

Ye Shan and Li Laosi had a brief discussion and took advantage of the time to fetch water to explore the surrounding areas. There was indeed no trace of outsiders' activities, and they were less wary of these women.

The two little girls had enough to eat and drink. They thanked each other with blushing faces, and then ran back holding hands. Everyone who looked at them laughed.

Jiayi sat next to his uncle and said carelessly, "Uncle, these people are so pitiful."

Liu Yang also responded, "Yes, I don't know how they survived the barbarian pursuit?"

Li Laosi swallowed a mouthful of dry biscuits, glanced at them helplessly, and asked, "They are pitiful. Why are they pitiful? They were sold since they were young and have not enough to eat. They are pitiful? Such people, Tianwu does not have one hundred thousand, but eight All right."

 Jiayi and Liu Yang frowned, both a little unhappy, feeling that their uncle was unsympathetic.

The rest of the soldiers also lowered their heads and pretended to be busy. It was obvious that they did not agree with Li Laosi's words.

They all came from a very low background. After all, their families were wealthy and could not allow them to risk their lives in the military camp.

Hence, I feel a little more sympathetic to the little girl who also suffered the same misery.

Li Laosi didn't care about this, he hit the two boys with a branch and asked.

"You were talking to the two little girls just now. Did you tell them that our family also fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. We live in Broken Gold Beach. There is a hot spring valley and we make a lot of money every day. We have melon fields and were named by the emperor. The supply exceeds demand. . Even how many people are in our family?”

Jiayi and Liu Yang were stunned when they heard this, feeling guilty for no reason, "We are just gossiping, is there nothing we can't talk about?"

"Humph," Li Laosi sneered, "Yeah, there's nothing I can't say. But you have said so much, what about the two little girls? Where did they say they came from? What do they do? Why do a group of women end up living in a desert? How many people are there in the mountains and forests? Where are they going? "

Jiayi and Liu Yang were speechless and finally understood.

They have just been exposed to all the details, and they don’t even know their identity.

Li Laosi hit them on the head and cursed, "Idiot, one day, you will be sold by others and you will have to help others count their money."

Jiayi and Liu Yang lowered their heads, their faces flushed.

The soldiers who were listening on the side did not dare to raise their heads, and they had not stopped talking just now.

Although there is nothing serious, they are guarding the dock and are under the command of Xintinghou. They are telling others...

Jiayi and Liu Yang were afraid of causing serious trouble, so they pulled Li Laosi's sleeves and asked, "Uncle, what should we do? If someone knows our details, will there be any danger?"

“No!” Li Laosi swatted them away, but did not scare them again.

He said matter-of-factly, "They, a group of women, must be even more afraid of being on guard against us. Even if they know this, it won't be too detrimental to us. But you should be careful in the future and don't become unprepared when you see others pitiful."

“Yes, uncle, we know we were wrong and we will never do it again in the future.”

Jiayi and Liu Yang finally became honest, and the slightest restlessness in the hearts of the soldiers was suppressed.

This night, the camp was extremely quiet. They took turns keeping watch and sleeping in an orderly manner. In the cave in the distance, there were more than twenty women gathered, all of them young and beautiful. Occasionally, there are two who appear to be over thirty years old, with graceful figures and unique charm.

They gathered around the most beautiful woman, who was also their leader, and whispered, "Master, this group of people looks okay, at least they are polite. Do we want to follow them out of the mountain?"

The beautiful heroine nodded and responded, "We have been waiting for three months, just for this opportunity, and we have to try it no matter what. Moreover, these people are under the command of Xintinghou. Xintinghou was in Kyoto before, and he was also Xintingbo. He is not famous, but he is a real royal relative, and now he is guarding Jiangnan Pier. If we can get acquainted with him and win his favor, we will not have to worry about settling in Jiangnan. "

The women were all happy, and the two little girls who had gone to find out the news were also chirping and laughing, and one of them said.

"Leader, the Broken Gold Beach, with its hot springs and village, seems to be very wealthy and close to the new capital. I heard that they are all the properties of Marquis Xinting. If the leader can win the admiration of Marquis Xinting, let Marquis Xinting take over this place. Give us a place to stay, okay?”

The other one also echoed, "Yes, I heard that this village grows cold melons, which is the name given by the emperor, and the hot spring valley is also making gold every day. Those two silly boys have said it, and it sounds very good. If we If you occupy it, you won’t have to wander around anymore.”

The women were excited after hearing this and asked, "Is Broken Gold Beach big? Is there a lot of fields?"

“What kind of person is Xintinghou? Is he fierce?”

“Oh, the class leader is so beautiful, any hero would bow down.”

"Yes, the class leader will let me take charge of the hot spring valley when the time comes, okay? I have to go to the hot springs every day. It has been too hard these past few months."

The beautiful woman frowned, waved her hand to signal everyone to shut up, and finally gave instructions in a low voice.

"Let's follow these people out to the land south of the Yangtze River, and then we will slowly make plans for the rest. Previously, I only heard that Xintingbo was a cold man, did not like to talk, and had no wives or concubines. I just didn't see anyone, so I don't know what the details are."

"Oh, don't worry about your temperament. You and I are from the military. They must have been together for a long time. When you see the class leader, you will immediately fall under your skirt. If the class leader doesn't mind, I can first find out the truth for the class leader."

A charming woman curled her hair, and while she was talking and laughing, her white neck and chest trembled slightly. She was so full of seductive charm that all her companions blushed.

The beautiful woman glanced at her, but did not refute. She just said, "On the way, you can find out more information. The more we know, the more advantageous it will be for us."

"I know, class leader, just take a look at it." The woman smiled proudly, "Men all have the same virtue."

Early on the next morning, Li Laosi and others got up. They still did not touch the japonica rice brought by the women, but only boiled hot water to warm their bellies.

Li Laosi and Ye Shan discussed that they must get the book today, and then go to the outside of the mountain to explore the movements of the barbarians. They could not delay any more, as the family was still worried about it.

At this time, four or five women came out of the cave, carrying several packages.

The woman in front was so beautiful that everyone was stunned, but after Li Laosi's beating last night, everyone behaved very calmly, and even a little more wary.

There was a flash of surprise in the woman's eyes, but she saluted uprightly and gracefully, without any hint of frivolity.

"Fellow heroes, I'm sorry to trouble you for waiting so long."

“Girl, you’re welcome.” Li Laosi and others returned the courtesy and invited them to sit on the big rock.

The woman was the first to speak with a smile, "Dear warriors, the young woman's real name is Hua Ruyue. She and some sisters formed a singing and dancing troupe to travel around and settle down. The move of the capital was too sudden. We were in the north at the time, so we had to be late.

I was chased by barbarians all the way to this area. I had no choice but to enter the mountains. Fortunately, I found this valley to stay. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you all for leaving a lot of things and helping us a lot. "

As she spoke, she led several women to stand up and salute solemnly.
