sleepwalking

Chapter 279

It seems that this girl took Zhang Xu for a fool.

Zhang Xu knew that there would be another period when his family was poor, his parents didn't love him, and he sold himself to a youth, and he was abused in a youth, and he was forced to start a tragic life.

Although Zhang Xu looks like a ten-year-old boy, he is a grown man in his 20s at heart.

In the original world, such news and dramas were staged a lot.

Zhang Xu will naturally not be moved.

Zhang Xu shook off the girl's hand and was about to leave.

I saw the man coming over, grabbed the girl's collar, and slapped the girl four times.

Immediately, the girl's cheeks swelled up, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

The girl pursed her lips, didn't cry out at all, and didn't speak.

It seemed that the person who was beaten was not her.

The girl stared at Zhang Xu with wide eyes.

There is stubbornness, hope, and disappointment in the eyes, which are so complicated that people can't believe it. This girl is only eight or nine years old.

Zhang Xu suddenly felt guilty.

Looking at him with such eyes, Zhang Xu really couldn't just leave calmly like this.

Zhang Xu walked towards the two of them.

The man immediately nodded and bowed, "Master, this girl was sold to our building by his family. She is dishonest. She has escaped twice in three days. We treat her very well. In addition to providing her with food and shelter every day, I also found a master to teach her how to read, draw, and play the piano. She really doesn't know how to be grateful..."

Zhang Xu knew that the clothes on his body were too special, and these people regarded him as the young master of a rich and powerful family.

Naturally, I dare not offend.

This man explained so much, without him, just to avoid trouble for his own building.

Zhang Xu was silent for a while, "I want to buy her."

The man was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Master likes such a little girl? No problem. There are many such little girls in our building. They are all well-trained, much better than her."

"These little girls can read, cook, be famous, sing, and play the piano. Their tempers are much better than hers. You might as well go to our building and choose one."

Zhang Xu shook his head, "I want her."

The man said, "For the ten taels of gold, I'll sell her to the young master."

Before Zhang Xu could speak, the girl said loudly, "My family sold me to you, and you only gave me one gold. Do you want to blackmail someone? Brother, don't give him so much gold."

Zhang Xu smiled, looking at the man with a playful look on his face.

The man in love also took him for a fool.

More smiles immediately piled up on the man's face, "Master, five taels of gold, nothing less."

The girl said stubbornly, "I'll hit you to death, and you will lose money and life."

The man stretched out three fingers, "Three taels of gold, young master, really can't be less."

Zhang Xu nodded, took out a piece of gold weighing about three taels, and threw it to the man.

The man took it and gritted his teeth, "Thank you, young master, this man is yours."

The girl ran to Zhang Xu's side in no time, and held Zhang Xu's arm firmly with both hands.

Zhang Xu glanced at the girl, "Let's go."

"Ah."

"Master, my name is Xiaocao. Do you think my name is beautiful?"

"Master, which family are you from? Your clothes are so strange. But it looks very luxurious..."

"Master, do you have delicious meat and rice at home? I eat too much..."

Hearing Xiaocao nagging next to his ear, Zhang Xu's mood improved inexplicably.

After coming to another world, I felt a trace of fetters for the first time.

Zhang Xu spoke, "Now you are free, you can leave. I am from the Osmanthus tree tribe, not a young master. The life there is much more miserable than in the building."

Xiaocao frowned, "No matter where you go, I will follow you. I am not afraid of hardships. Since I was a child, have I suffered less?"

"Whatever you want." Zhang Xu said.

Zhang Xu took Xiaocao back to the hotel where he stayed.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened as he watched Zhang Xu go out for less than half a day and bring back a little girl.

The little girl raised her head and glared at the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper didn't dare to stare at the two of them so directly.

Zhang Xu returned to the room, Shi Shi and the others were preparing for dinner.

It was said to be dinner, but it was pancakes, bacon, and boiled water from the hotel kitchen.

They were all very happy to see Zhang Xu back.But seeing that Zhang Xu brought back a little girl, he was very surprised.

Shi Shi spoke first, "Zhang Xu, where is this little girl from?"

Zhang Xu said, "It was bought for three taels of gold."

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

The Osmanthus tree tribe is really poor.Stone and the others brought the goods this time, and it would be good if they could sell for twelve taels of gold.

And these ten taels of gold are the income of the whole tribe, to buy salt and daily necessities.

Even, the stone depends on whether there is any surplus, and wants to buy some weapons to go back.

None of them expected that Zhang Xu would spend three taels of gold to buy a little girl without saying a word.

Many people secretly slandered Zhang Xu's extravagance.

That's three taels of gold, and you can buy three handy weapons.

Shitou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Zhang Xu, it's good, it's good. I think you were served by many people before, and you must not be used to it in our tribe. It's good to buy a little girl to serve you later."

"Okay, let's eat." With that said, Shi Shi took out the pancake basket and handed it to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu picked up a pancake and gnawed on it.

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, and handed the basket of pancakes to Xiaocao.

Although the little girl in front of her looked a little miserable, she was thin-skinned and tender-skinned, and she hadn't suffered much at first glance.

Shi Shi looked at the crude pancakes in the basket, and felt that they were a bit out of hand.

Unexpectedly, Xiaocao grabbed a pancake and gnawed it, "It's so delicious."

Shito was happy, and brought a glass of water to Xiaocao, "Eat slowly, don't choke, come, drink some water."

"Thank you." Xiaocao smiled at the stone.

Shi Shi secretly rest assured, as long as he is not spoiled.

After all, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree tribe is much more miserable than the Heat tribe.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu went to the cottage and got a hundred weapons from Meng Yun.Mostly long swords, long knives.

There are also a few axes, long whips, halberds, long spears...

In short, Meng Yun did not fool people.

At noon, when we returned to the hotel, the stones were also exchanged.

After a simple lunch and packing up, the group set off to go back to the tribe.

They were all on foot. I thought that bringing a little girl would slow down their speed.

However, it was later discovered that the little girl walked quite fast, and she didn't cry tired at all.

Stone is a little relieved.

When it was dark, it was already a long way from the heat tribe, and we had walked more than half of the distance.

At this moment, Zhang Xu and others heard the sound of animals running behind them.
