Chapter 13： Delusion

But Liu Yong didn't think so. He felt that he was studying hard, progressing fast, being smart, and full of ambition, but he stopped because of Shu Wanniang's remarks, which made him full of anger to Shu Wanniang even more. some resentment.

The patriarch was unwilling to help him, so he could only find a way by himself. He forced his parents to raise money to send him to the county academy, but the Liu family was poor and could not even afford the most basic repairs, not to mention that he had to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone to go to school. Such things, these expenses, even if they are sold, they may not be able to afford it.

Who knew that Liu Yong wanted to sell his younger siblings. Liu Yong was nine years old at the time, his sister was eight years old, and his brother was six years old.

The children in the village are all free-range, and their parents only call someone when they have something to do or have a meal. That day, Uncle Liu and his wife went to the field and were not at home. When they came back in the evening, they didn’t care when they saw that the three children were not at home. I thought they were out to play.

But when they finished the meal, it was getting dark and the three children were still without a shadow. Then Liu Sanshu and his wife panicked and called the villagers to help them find them.

Liu Yong took his younger siblings to the town and did not hide it. The adults who saw him thought it was Liu Sanshu and his wife who asked them to buy something in the town, so they didn't take it to heart. When Liu Sanshu asked, they naturally said it.

The patriarch's intuition was wrong, and he took Liu Sanshu to chase the town. On the way, he met Liu Yong who was carrying a burden. He opened it and saw that it was full of ink, ink, paper, inkstone and books.

Uncle Liu looked at the eldest son who was bowing his head, and his heart was ominous, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "You brought this thing? Also, what about your younger brothers and sisters? Didn't you take them to the town?"

Liu Yong looked at his father calmly and said, "I bought this. I want to read and literacy exams. My younger brothers and sisters asked me to sell them. They are temporarily suffering. Redeem them, and they will have a better life."

Uncle Liu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at the eldest son, unable to speak, but the patriarch on the side couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately they didn't decide to support him, otherwise such a white-eyed wolf would be given to the clan. It is difficult to recruit.

How old are his younger siblings? They grew up together again, and they sold it when they said they were sold. They did such vicious things at such a young age. How can they still be good when they grow up?

Seeing that Uncle Liu was hit by this, the patriarch became a little confused, slapped him sober, and asked Liu Yong, "Who did you sell your younger brother and sister to? Why don't you tell me? How old are they? You are so cruel. ."

Uncle Liu came back to his senses. The most important thing now is to get the children back. He looked at Liu Yong with red eyes, his eyes were fierce, "Say, where did you sell your brother and sister?"

Liu Yong called his father with a frightened look in his eyes. The calm and calm just now was just pretended, and his palms were sweating long ago, but he thought that his younger brother and sister had been sold. He is now the only child in the family. You can't kill him, but at most one.

Without younger siblings, he is their only son, and they will send him to study at that time.

Liu Yong encouraged himself in his heart, and then raised his head and said, "I don't know, so I sold it to the passerby. They have long since left, and now you have only one son of mine."

"Ow—" Uncle Liu couldn't stand it and rushed forward, grabbed the eldest son's neck, and pressed him to the ground, his eyes were red, his savage face was twisted, and he shouted, "How could I have given birth to a wicked son like you, early? Knowing that you should have strangled you when you were born, I strangled you and said, who did you sell your brother and sister to? Tell me now!"

Under the blow, Uncle Liu exerted too much force. Liu Yong's eyes were slightly bulging. He only felt that he was going to die. He was incontinent in panic, and his body smelled of feces and urine. undoubtedly.

The patriarch called Liu Sanshu to pull away, and said to Liu Yong, who was lying on the ground half-dead: "Liu Yong, you'd better clarify who you sold your younger brother and sister to, and who led you, if you don't say it, you Dad will definitely beat you to death, your parents are still young, the big deal is to have a few more children."

Liu Yong is only a nine-year-old child, even if his mind is more mature than others, he can't help but feel the panic of life and death, and said in a hoarse voice: "I really don't know who that person is, everyone calls him the yellow-toothed man, I am I took my younger brother and sister to the town's top lady, I wanted to sell it to her, but she didn't want it. She said that it would take an adult to count. After coming out, I followed him. He also buys and sells people. This time I came to find Fang Yapo to buy people. I followed him to his yard, sold my younger siblings to him, and then went with the money. I bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the county town."

Liu Yong sold his younger brother and sister for 10 taels of silver. He was so happy that he couldn't help taking a donkey cart to the county town to buy a set of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and two books.

After listening to this, everyone just felt chilled. This person can be so happy to buy things after selling his younger brother and sister, which shows his coldness.

"Patriarch, let's go to Fang Ya Po now, she must know who the Yellow Fang is." Uncle Liu didn't want to stop for a moment. His daughter and younger son were timid, and now they don't know how they were scared.

The patriarch also knew that he was in a hurry, and immediately handed Liu Yong to his son Liu Dazhuang, "Take him back to guard him, and then go to ask Shishi. He often walks outside and knows a lot of people. Maybe he will ask him to be on his head."

Liu Dazhuang responded, carried Liu Yong on his back and rushed to Linshan Village.

And the patriarch also took the rest to the town.

The people bought by the Huang Ya people were sent to the palace and that kind of pickling place, so Fang Ya didn’t like to do business with him very much. When I heard that they were sold to him, she immediately said: “Then you should go south and chase after him. Well, I heard that he meant to leave today and rush back to the south as soon as possible, but he is an iron rooster. Since he spent money to buy people from you, there is no reason to give it away. He bought it with ten taels of silver. , you have to pay at least twelve taels to buy it back."

The patriarch, Uncle Liu, and the others changed dramatically, and even the entire Liu family couldn't come up with 10 taels of silver.

The patriarch was agitated and said, "Go back and ask Liu Yong how much money he has left. Let's get together and chase it early in the morning. Walk along the avenue. Don't worry, you will find it."

Uncle Liu gritted his teeth, knelt in front of the patriarch and said, "Uncle, my nephew knows this is an unkind request, but my nephew really can't wait any longer. I want to chase after him all night, and I will trouble you to go back and help collect money. I, Liu San, will pay back the money I paid even if I am a cow and a horse, I just ask them to save my daughter and my youngest son first." Saying "bang bang", he kowtowed to the patriarch.

The patriarch gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, you take your fifth brother to chase, I'll go back and collect money for you, as long as you get the money, I'll chase you, don't worry if you catch someone, stabilize them first, Tell them in a kind voice, let's take the money to redeem people."

Uncle Liu could only kowtow to him to express his gratitude.
