Tiandao doesn't work today
Chapter 9: Getting into trouble is like an ant
Two days later, Jiang Shouyi walked into Anqiu City with his two children. It can be said that he cried with joy!
He only slept for a few hours in the past two days, and spent the rest of the time on the road.
Seeing that the girl only drank flour and water, became weak from crying, and was about to starve to death, she was finally able to enter the city.
There are nine counties in Langya County. Apart from Kaiyang City, where it is governed, Anqiu is the only one with a large number of troops stationed there.
It is precisely because there is a formal garrison and there is no fear of refugees causing chaos that the city gates are not closed tightly.
But victims are still everywhere, with countless people freezing to death.
Along the roads in the city, countless people huddled numbly in the alleys. There were sergeants patrolling the streets, and some stronger victims were also organized to clean up the corpses outside the city and clear the snow to clear the way.
The victims who participate in the clean-up work will undoubtedly have enough to eat.
Jiang Shouyi sighed, found an alley, huddled with someone and inquired, and learned that the wealthy locals in Anqiu would give porridge to relieve disasters every afternoon. These victims all relied on the porridge to survive today.
When giving porridge, there will be stewards who select people from the victims. If there are suitable people, they can sell their lives and live in the house in exchange for a few buckets of rice and noodles.
Jiang Shouyi licked his lips and thought.
It is obviously extremely difficult to sell a female doll to someone else to be a husband, and the current situation cannot be delayed.
In this case, it is better to sell it to a rich family, even if it is a slave, at least there will be no shortage of food and clothing.
But after all, he planned to raise Yan Nu himself, so that he would not sell himself together and watch Xue'er grow up.
If Xue'er is sold to someone else, he won't be able to see her or help her in the future, so he can only rest assured if he becomes a good man.
But in this year of disaster, human life is worthless, and Xue'er is a girl. Who would want to be a daughter?
"Oh, do your best," he said with a bitter look on his face. The child was about to starve to death, so he could only do his best.
"Old man, you two babies are so good-looking, why don't you ask Zhang Yazi." The victim who was inquiring saw that the child in Jiang Shouyi's arms was plump and beautiful, so he introduced someone to him.
"Zhang Yazi?"
Under the guidance of the victims, Jiang Shouyi found a dental shop.
It turned out that in addition to the stewards of the local wealthy families who were recruiting people, there were also some merchants and people from the dental industry who were selecting among the victims.
Countless victims of the disaster can no longer survive, so it is extremely cheap to sell their bodies. Many dental shops that specialize in reselling slaves are like cats that have smelled fishy odors, wandering in several major refugee gathering places.
Zhang Yazi was one of them. When he saw Jiang Shouyi, he frowned at the first sight.
What a shame, old man, and what’s more, he brought a baby. Babies are the least valuable. They haven’t been weaned. Why are you here? They have to be raised!
Only those over ten years old can sell for a good price.
But when his eyes were fixed on the baby in his arms, after taking a closer look, he smiled.
"Good stuff!" Zhang Yazi is an expert, has seen countless people, and has a very vicious eye!
Even if it is just a child that has not been weaned, he can still tell what the skin looks like.
And these two children are just like beauties.
The girl looks like she has been hungry for a long time, and her skin has lost some of its luster. But she is taking good care of it, and she will be a stunning beauty in the future.
"Sell the baby or invest in a household?" Zhang Yazi asked.
Some of the victims may have farmland at home and are from good families. Therefore, even if they are in dire straits, they can only sell their children to get money and food to survive.
Some victims of the disaster had nothing left, so they often simply moved their families into slavery to avoid being separated.
"Selling babies..." Jiang Shouyi responded softly.
He had sold his land before winter and joined the Zhang family in Hua County, becoming a pariah. However, during the snowstorm, the Zhang family didn't care about him, since there were plenty of tenant farmers anyway.
So as long as he can survive, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back.
"Okay, put the two children down, and you can receive eight buckets of rice." Zhang Yazi waved his hand, as if he was very generous.
Eight bushels of rice are exchanged for two children, which is not a trade-off in good times. But now, many victims around them are envious because they sold their ten-year-old children for only two or three bushels of rice. Badou is enough to last them for a month.
Jiang Shouyi was stunned, and then said: "Even if you are a clay doll, you can't sell it for just eight buckets of rice!"
"Does a clay doll also need to eat? I have to find a wet nurse for such a small baby. Is it free to raise him to grow up?" Zhang Yazi was very domineering and didn't take Jiang Shouyi seriously at all. He had no idea that the old man had just two days ago. Killed a top master in the world.
Jiang Shouyi hugged the child tightly and said, "I won't sell you!"
Zhang Yazi was a little surprised, and then suddenly said: "Okay, I'll give you another three hundred coins."
He didn't mind adding a little. In this day and age, three hundred coins might not be able to buy three measures of rice.
These two little dolls looked so good, he didn't want to miss them.
However, Jiang Shouyi still shook his head, and now Zhang Yazi was angry: "Old man! Do you think you can bargain? This is already my great mercy! If you don't sell, you will starve to death!"
"Bah!" Jiang Shouyi paid for the money and said, "Introduce me to a good family who can take her as their daughter."
He didn't want to make money by selling the baby, but he just couldn't support himself anymore. After the conversation just now, he knew that Xueer couldn't be sold to this person.
"Hey, you old man!" Zhang Yazi suddenly lost his temper when he saw him giving him money.
Are you still selling your baby if you have money? He immediately looked at Jiang Shouyi carefully and was suddenly stunned.
It turned out that Jiang Shouyi had been sleeping in the snow all the way. When he first arrived, he looked like a snowman, no different from the disaster victims outside.
But just now after taking out the money and shaking off the snow on his body, Zhang Yazi suddenly saw clearly the fur coat on the old man's body.
Although it is only sheep fur, the workmanship is good. It is worth two or three pieces, and it is not something ordinary civilians can afford.
The co-author is not a refugee selling his baby, but a businessman?
Zhang Yazi, as a famous person in Anqiu, mainly works as a middleman.
"I see, I'm rude. Come with me, old man, let's talk inside... Come and serve tea!" The introduction fee, which is always rich, was already worth his smile.
Jiang Shouyi entered the back room and made his intentions clear. Zhang Yazi immediately frowned.
Good guy, the supply of slaves exceeds the demand these days, why do you expect someone to buy a baby and take it back as a daughter-in-law?
If you are missing a son, maybe you can introduce me to him. Who wants a daughter?
"Old man, you've already sold your baby, and you still care about whether she has a good family background? Well, you're a boy, so I can still think of something for you."
Jiang Shouyi was mentally prepared for Zhang Yazi's words, and immediately said: "If it doesn't work out, I won't sell it for the time being... I'll hire a nurse for a few days first, the baby is starving."
"This..." Zhang Yazi was a little reluctant. He didn't want to miss out on such a good-looking beauty.
As long as he sells it to a wealthy family, he can make a lot of money, even if he is just a middleman, he can make a lot of money.
"Old man, why should you insist on having good citizenship? Wouldn't it be good to be sold into slavery by a noble family?"
"Let me tell you, just a few days ago, the Anqiu Zhu family wanted to buy a baby girl, and they didn't know what to do. The price was extremely high, and the only requirement was that she should look good."
"I sent one as a gift, and it was also a beautiful embryo, but compared to the porcelain doll in your arms... Hey! There's no comparison at all!"
"I don't know if they still want it. Old man, if you agree to sell it to the Zhu family, you can get ten strings!"
Zhang Yazi tried his best to bewitch, hoping to sell the baby girl to the Zhu family.
Jiang Shouyi sighed: "Be a slave?"
He was very confused. Of course he knew that his request was ridiculous, so if it didn't work out, he could only sell her to a wealthy family as a maid.
Zhang Yazi replied: "It's really useless..."
He was about to say it was nonsense, but he rolled his eyes and changed his words: "If...if I have to say it...the Zhu family did not say that they wanted to be slaves..."
"The Zhu family is a powerful family in Anqiu. The patriarch is the current prince Zhan Shi. Among the younger generation of handsome men, one is currently the magistrate of Anqiu County and the other is the captain of the fifth battalion of Langya County... They are all great celebrities. Talent."
"Such a wealthy family has no shortage of slaves. This time they want to buy an adopted daughter... to prepare for future marriage! This is why they ask for looks, and only a baby!"
As he talked, Zhang Yazi believed it himself.
In fact, everything about the adopted daughter is all guesswork, but it is not impossible. Anyway, it is just to deceive the old man, so I might as well say it seriously.
Jiang Shouyi was overjoyed, it was okay to adopt a daughter! He has no control over marriage or anything like that, at least they will raise their children well!
From now on, she will be a lady of everyone, a daughter of a famous family! What else is there to say? You can’t find this good thing even with a lantern!
This is already the most perfect destination for Xueer that he could imagine!
"Really? You said before that no one would want..." Jiang Shouyi was a little doubtful.
Zhang Yazi said without blushing and out of breath: "That's because I have already missed such a good thing! I sent a baby girl, but yours is better! I think you can ask! Anyway, one is for raising, and two It’s okay to raise one too!”
"Okay, okay...ask! Ask quickly!" Jiang Shouyi was ecstatic and nodded repeatedly.
He opened his mouth and said, "Follow me!"
He called someone to drive and led the old man straight to a wealthy mansion in the city.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang Yazi got out of the car first, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the concierge: "Tan Weng, are you there? This villain is Zhang Yazi..."
This is the small gate in the backyard of Zhu's Mansion. An old concierge came out and looked down at Zhang Yazi and Jiang Shouyi.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Yazi bowed humbly and said with a smile: "Weng Tan, Miss Xiangyun asked me to look for a baby girl for your house a few days ago. I found something better today. Compared with the one I sent last time, It’s like a firefly compared to a bright moon!”
"I've brought you here. Please tell me, Mr. Tan. I'll be waiting outside the door."
The so-called Miss Xiangyun is actually the personal maid of the eldest son of the Zhu family, Mrs. Side, but with this status, Zhang Yazi can also be called miss.
Tan Weng was stunned: "Looking for a baby girl?"
"You don't know?" Zhang Yazi blinked and said, "The villain delivered a baby girl two days ago, and Miss Xiangyun came out to pick it up in person... Oh, you weren't there that day..."
As he talked, Zhang Yazi also felt that something was wrong.
He remembered that Xiangyun had warned him to forget about it and not to tell anyone about it. Could it be said that even the people in the house have been kept secret?
"Wait!" Tan Weng turned around and entered the house.
But Zhang Yazi was outside the door, shivering. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became!
If you are adopting a maid, you have nothing to hide. If you are adopting a daughter, you can just hide it from outsiders. As the concierge, Tan Weng is naturally a trustworthy person in the house, and there is no need to hide it.
So hiding it from Tan Weng is actually equivalent to hiding it from the whole government!
There must be some secrets in Zhu's backyard, and he actually got involved.
"It's over! It's over! What a disaster! I'm so obsessed!"
Zhang Yazi hated himself for not thinking that he would tell Jiang Shouyi for money, so forget it.
In the end, he eagerly came to find him with his men and reported the matter to the concierge.
If people in Zhu's mansion want to kill themselves, isn't it like killing a chicken?
"Just wait here...I'll come as soon as I go." Zhang Yazi smiled stiffly, comforting Jiang Shouyi to stay, and he ran away immediately.
He didn't even drive the car to avoid Jiang Shouyi's suspicion. He asked Jiang Shouyi to block the knife first and delay it for a while.
Jiang Shouyi felt strange and pulled him directly: "You have to stay. What's wrong with you leaving me here?"
"Mom, aren't you done with inspecting the goods yourself? Let go!" Zhang Yazi was a little anxious, but he couldn't get away from Jiang Shouyi.
It turned out that Jiang Shouyi had eaten and drank enough in the past two days, and Chen Hu's medicine was really good, and his injuries were almost healed. Therefore, his strength was not comparable to that of a puffy guy like Zhang Yazi.
Jiang Shouyi looked more and more suspicious with his open teeth in the cold weather and sweat on his head, but he didn't know what was going on, so he just wouldn't let him go.
"Okay, okay, let's go! Let's go quickly!"
"Xiangyun is looking for a baby girl. It's not that Zhu's family wants to adopt a daughter. This matter is hidden from the whole family. I'm afraid it will involve a fight in the backyard. Madam Fang is afraid that she wants to use her luggage to replace Tao Zang..."
As Zhang Yazi spoke, he had already imagined countless dramas in his mind, specially preparing a baby girl, maybe to replace the son born by another woman?
"You are wrong about this." Suddenly a cold voice came.
Zhang Yazi turned around tremblingly, and saw a girl in green clothes and a sword walking out, with a fragrant plum blossom in her head.
"Xiang...Miss Xiangyun, I realize my mistake..." Zhang Yazi's legs and feet became weak and he knelt directly on the ground.
Xiangyun's face was frosty and her voice was cold: "Tan Weng also knows that he is wrong. Who do you think you are?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yazi's teeth trembled and he was extremely desperate.
As the concierge, Tan Weng did not come back, so he must have been killed.
Even an old man like Tan Weng killed him at will. How could Xiangyun spare him?
"Run!" Zhang Yazi knew that he was in danger, so he didn't waste any time and ran away with all his strength.
However, after running a few steps, Xiangyun raised his hand slightly, saw a flash of red light, and fell to the ground with his teeth bared.
At the same time, there was a blood-stained petal falling to the ground!
"Hiss!" Jiang Shouyi gasped, so fast that he didn't even see the petals flying out of the fragrant cloud!
These are petals! It's the plum blossom on Xiangyun's head. If a woman wants to wear a flower at this time, she can only wear Aoxue Hanmei.
Xiangyun had long planned to use this to kill people, but at some point he gently held a petal in his hand, probably because he didn't want to dirty his sword.
It was completely beyond the imagination of people like Jiang Shouyi that such a fragile thing could easily wipe someone's neck.
The fragile and soft petals kill people as quickly as a flying knife. After killing the person, there is no damage at all. They even fall gently, leaving no energy to fly farther. Everything is just right.
Everyone knows that what is behind this is extremely superb kung fu. How old is Xiangyun? Teenagers, right? Is this a true warrior from a wealthy family?
Feeling the murderous intent coming towards him, Jiang Shouyi knew that he was next and couldn't help but despair.
But he was not afraid of death. While he could still speak, he shouted quickly: "I really don't know anything. Miss, you can kill me. Please adopt these two children as slaves or maids..."
…
p.s: Sorry.
