Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

The tip of her dagger scratched the girl's dirty little face, and the girl was so frightened that her whole body was trembling.

Although she thought she would die immediately, it was only a momentary thing and there was no pain. However, the person opposite did not kill her at once, and the known fear made her even more frightened and frightened.

“It’s good that you’re young and the meat is quite tender.”

When the surrounding refugees heard this, they suddenly became timid and retreated away from each other. No wonder these people looked so good.

But at this time, the girl's parents finally couldn't hold it any longer. If their daughter was killed like this, it would be a big thank you to them! At least they would have to get some food.

So they rushed out in a hurry.

"What are you going to do in broad daylight? What are you doing? This is my daughter, you damned ones, are you still human? You are worse than animals."

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the sloppy woman who accused her amusedly, and said curiously, "So she is your daughter!" Then he looked at the little boy standing behind the man, and saw that the boy still had some flesh on his face, while the girl

He is as thin as skin and bones, and I guess he comes from a family that values ​​boys over girls.

"So what?"

"I think she can barely do it, how about one tael of silver, can I sell it?" Cheng Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking like a ruffian, and joked with a mischievous smile.

"You, you really want to." The woman couldn't believe it.

But look at the old, weak, women and children behind them, they don't look like they are short of food and clothing at all. This person must be lying. Maybe her daughter can live a good life if she stays in their team.

But she was unwilling to give in. If her daughter could live a good life, her baby would not be as poor as her, but she did not dare to sell her son as well.

"Look what they did? They are my food rations, otherwise how can I feed so many thugs." Cheng Xiaoxiao dropped another heavy blow.

The woman swallowed in fear, her heart was trembling when she saw the escort of thirty or forty people.

She automatically imagined that these strong men could only be so strong by eating meat. Otherwise, given the current dire situation, who could afford to support such a large group of people? She no longer dared to think of selling her son.

However, she stopped thinking about it and thought about it. They had dug up all the wild vegetables around them anyway. If she couldn't find a way, the whole family would starve to death. If the three of them could live longer, there might be hope.

.

"You, you can buy it if you want, but I don't want money, I just want food."

"I don't have any extra food for you." Cheng Xiaoxiao threw out a tael of broken silver and played with it in his hand. If you want to sell it or not, you will lose it if you don't.

The girl was frightened by Cheng Xiaoxiao's threats just now and let go.

Seeing that the woman was hesitant and didn't want to do the deal, she didn't force it and directly called the team to move forward.

The woman didn't give up and ran after Cheng Xiaoxiao, "It's okay if you don't give me food. I want ten taels of silver."

Although money is of no use to them now, who can say clearly, maybe they will be able to leave soon.

If she could sell it at a good price, she could still buy food in the future, so she gritted her teeth and demanded a high price.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was amused by this woman's lion mouth. Now that human life is worthless, it is simply a fool's dream to want to sell it for ten taels of silver.

She secretly wondered whether she should save the little girl.

Living with such unscrupulous parents will lead to death sooner or later, but when a girl grows up in such an environment, I don't know if she has been raised crookedly. Alas! It's really confusing.

"Then you can give me grain. You can give me five kilograms of whole grain."

Seeing that Cheng Xiaoxiao was indifferent, he said, "Three catties, three catties are fine, how about two catties, two catties?" Cheng Xiaoxiao remained unmoved, and the team continued to move forward.

The woman was angry that the girl was so difficult to deal with that she refused to give her any food.

Cheng Xiaoxiao seemed to know that the woman was slandering her, but still did not let go. When he saw the woman chasing after her again, he said coldly, "There is no food, only two taels at most. If you don't want to sell it, get away. It's not like I don't have meat to eat. Your daughter is so thin.

I’m afraid I don’t have many ounces of meat on my body, tsk tsk! I’m afraid these 2 ounces are not worth it.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao shook his head in disappointment.

It seems that I don't plan to buy it.

When the woman heard this, she panicked. Why was her daughter not worth two taels?

She was very unwilling. After raising her for so many years, she couldn't even get a few kilograms of grain in exchange for it, not to mention getting her money back. It was really unlucky.

At this moment, the man strode over holding the little girl's hand and said with final words: "Sell it, we'll sell it."

"But the head of the house." Before the woman could finish her words, she was glared at by the man fiercely.

He was watching clearly from the side. The girl spoke with a joking tone and pretended to be fierce, but her eyes didn't look like it. Maybe there would be great benefits for her daughter to follow them.

By then, their family will be able to live off their daughter's relief.

The man secretly thought that even if he sold her, they were also her parents. This was an unchangeable fact. If her mother-in-law and son secretly came to her to cry out about their poverty, would she still be able to watch them starve to death?

The man's idea was coming together. It was expected that Cheng Xiaoxiao and his group would not be able to cross the river. Should they retreat and set up camp here?

When the time came, he was close to the water tower and was still afraid of not being able to get food, so he glared at the blind woman, fearing that she would spoil his good deeds.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know the man's Xiao Jiujiu, so he readily paid the money and took the little girl away.

The girl's eyes were full of despair. It was only today that she finally saw her parents' faces clearly. She had to give up her life in order to survive. So what was she still hoping for? Didn't she always know?

No matter how much housework you do and how much you try to please your younger brothers, you can't get a look or a word of praise from them. In addition to being scolded, beaten, and starved in life.

What could she miss in such a miserable life? Death might be the best relief.

Soon the despair in the girl's eyes turned into calmness, and she was led by someone in a daze.

As the team moved forward, there were more and more broken tents in the woods on both sides, which were densely packed. Most of the tents were directly connected by sewing mattresses and quilts.

Most of the pedestrians on both sides of the low slope just now were carrying baskets, and they should be out looking for food. This forest should be their camp.

There are at least seven to eight hundred refugees gathered here.

The system spoke: "There is a ferry ahead. If there is no boat, these people may not be able to get through, so they can only stay here."

Although this place is beyond the boundary of Yanzhou County, you have to cross the Shunjiang River to get to Dingzhou, and that side does not accept the refugees from here at all, so there are no ships going here.

When a group of people came to the ferry, what they saw was a desolate place. There were several tea stalls on both sides of the intersection. They were dilapidated and lay aside. Only some broken dishes and wine jars were left, which were scattered on the ground in a mess. It looked like they had left.

The time was very hurried.

All the fabric on the ceiling had been pulled down, probably by the refugees.
