Are women a burden on the road to escape famine? Give them all to me
Chapter 18 Buying People
"Uncle Luo, how is it? Did you get anything?" A hoarse, childish and slightly milky voice came from the carriage.
Luo Yan stood outside the carriage respectfully and whispered: "I found a pair of siblings who can be trained.
The younger sister is amazing and talented, but she is too young.
Although the older brother is average in talent, he has a strong heart and a pure character, so he can be trained.
Moreover, there are some..." At this point, Luo Yan couldn't say anything. He always felt that the boy was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Oh? But what's the problem?" The voice in the carriage said lightly.
"That's not it, it's just that the boy is obviously average in talent and has no resources to practice, but his training speed is not slow."
"In that case, let's observe more."
"Yes."
...
The next morning, after Lu Wei and Lu Xiaoxiao had breakfast, they went to check the traps as usual to see if there was anything to gain.
Today's luck was still average, and there was still nothing.
After Lu Wei finished practicing with Lu Xiaoxiao, he started to eat breakfast. While eating, he returned today's supplies.
So far, Lu Wei only needs one return to upgrade the system.
Lu Wei is looking forward to the upgrade of the system, because the system upgrade can not only increase the number of bound returns.
You can also get 5 free attribute rewards, which can be added to any attribute.
Including root bone, understanding, blood, constitution, and even skills and cultivation.
However, Lu Wei has already thought about how to add these 5 attributes.
Now we have to wait until tonight, return it again, and the system will be upgraded.
After dinner, the two set off.
Today, the weather is fine and the weather is good. Lu Wei is in a good mood. Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao is bored, he tells her a story.
Lu Wei doesn't know many stories, most of which are familiar stories.
In order to set off the current environment, Lu Wei told her a little girl selling matches.
As a result, although Lu Xiaoxiao sympathized with the little girl after listening to the story, she felt that the little girl was too stupid.
"Why is the little girl so stupid?" Lu Wei asked curiously after hearing what his sister said.
"Since she has a match in her hand, why doesn't she find a house to light it? A big fire can keep warm. Of course, a match will freeze to death.
Moreover, if it were me, I would burn all those who treat me badly while they are asleep."
Lu Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing what his sister said. Could this little girl have a super-masculine complex?
This idea is a bit against the sky.
No, if this child continues like this, she will grow crooked sooner or later. She must correct it while she is young.
So, Lu Wei thought about it and threatened: "If you do that, you will be caught by the law enforcers, and the little girl will be in danger at that time."
However, Lu Xiaoxiao said disdainfully: "Just catch her, she will die anyway. The prisoners will have a bowl of food before they die. It is better to eat before dying than to freeze to death, right?"
Lu Wei was a little speechless for a moment. He really wanted to teach his sister that it was wrong to think like this.
However, he also felt that what the girl said seemed to make sense.
In this way, the two siblings walked forward while chatting.
Lu Wei found that the weather today was a little warmer, not as cold as the previous few days.
He guessed that it was because they were gradually approaching the south, and the temperature rose by a few degrees.
Unknowingly, a day had passed.
In the evening, the two took the prepared food and prepared to find Wu Laoer to buy his wife.
As a result, as soon as they arrived near the camp of the famine escape team, they found that many people gathered together to watch the excitement.
Out of curiosity, Lu Wei also walked over.
In the snow, Zhang San, who wanted to sell his wife to him yesterday, was leaning against his wife, looking dull as if he was stupid.
And his wife, lying on the ground with blood all over her face, was completely out of breath.
Next to them, there was a child of a few years old, crying loudly.
That was Zhang San's grandson, Zhang Xiaohu.
At this time, Lu Wei suddenly heard someone sigh next to him.
"Alas, this world is full of cannibalism." After saying that, the man turned and left.
As he left, the people around him gradually dispersed.
Such things seem to happen every day, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
Lu Wei also learned what happened from the people next to him.
The matter is very simple. They can't survive, and someone in this family must sacrifice.
Zhang San is a man, who has to support this family. Hu Zi is the future and hope.
Their son and daughter-in-law died on the road a long time ago.
And Zhang San's wife had lived enough in this desperate world, so she chose to commit suicide to fulfill the remaining grandfather and grandson.
This kind of thing is a big shock to Lu Wei, who was born in modern times.
In that era when everyone could have enough food, such things were only heard on the Internet, and there was no shock of seeing it with one's own eyes.
Even Lu Wei has seen many such examples during this period of time.
But this kind of living person who was still in front of you yesterday died in the blink of an eye. The sense of gap made him feel a lot.
"Xiaoxiao, tell me, if I had bought Zhang San's wife yesterday, would she not have died?"
As a modern soul, Lu Wei is the kind of person who can't bear to see the suffering of the world even though his life is not satisfactory.
He clearly felt pity, but he had to stand by and watch.
You can say he is a saint or a hypocrite.
However, aren't most ordinary people like this?
"Well, but there will be people dying tomorrow, and we don't have that much food." Lu Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly.
Lu Wei nodded silently and sighed: "Yes, we can't save them, but it's good enough to save ourselves."
Lu Xiaoxiao continued: "Besides, even if I give them all the food for free, they won't be grateful to us, and they might even say we are stupid behind our backs.
When we need to be rescued, they won't come to rescue us."
Lu Wei nodded: "Well, that's it."
Leaving the crowd of onlookers, the two came to where Wu Laoer lived and saw them eating.
And the food they ate was the crushed bark.
Although this kind of thing will make you feel full, it is not easy to digest. If you eat too much, you will be stuffed to death.
Therefore, in the famine years, many people starved to death, but they all had big bellies.
As soon as he saw Lu Wei coming, Wu Laoer's eyes lit up.
"Hey, brother, you're here, come on, come on, sit down.
Have you eaten yet?
Or... Oh, look at me, I'm so stupid, how can I eat this kind of thing?"
Lu Wei raised his hand to interrupt his polite words, took out the 5 kilograms of rice he had prepared, and opened it to show Wu Laoer.
He said indifferently: "Here are 5 kilograms of rice. If you agree, I will take the person away. If you don't agree, I will turn around and leave."
Wu Laoer looked at the 5 kilograms of white rice, his eyes suddenly straightened, and his saliva kept swallowing.
"Brother, brother, just pity me and give me some more."
Lu Wei didn't even raise his head when he heard this, and without saying a word, he put the rice away and turned to leave.
When Wu Laoer saw the rice disappear, he was immediately anxious and grabbed Lu Wei.
"Brother, don't leave yet, let's discuss it."
The white and clean rice made him greedy. It would be fine if he didn't see it, but if he saw it, how could he bear to let it go.
"There's nothing to discuss. Whether to exchange or not, just one word."
Wu Laoer heard this, closed his eyes and stamped his feet.
"Exchange, I exchange it, isn't it okay?"
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, pulled Wu Liushi over and stuffed it into Lu Wei's hand, while he himself held the rice bag tightly.
Lu Wei didn't continue to pull him, directly gave him the rice, and took Wu Liushi and Lu Xiaoxiao to leave.
He didn't want to make close friends with people like Wu Laoer, and he was too lazy to be fake with him.
For normal human trafficking, a contract needs to be signed and fair.
But at this time, it is obviously impossible. There is no paper and pen, how to sign a contract.
"Brother, wait..." Lu Wei was about to leave, and Wu Laoer stopped him again.
"What else?" Lu Wei frowned and asked.
Wu Laoer chuckled: "Look, we are from the same village. If you buy my wife, it is equivalent to giving her a wedding gift, and you must give her some dowry.
Brother, I don't have anything to give you, so let's put it this way, I'll give you this little girl, it's just buy one get one free, you're getting a great bargain."
As he said that, he pushed his 4-year-old daughter to Lu Wei's feet.
Lu Wei looked down at the little girl with burnt yellow hair, skinny and two snot hanging from her nose, and was speechless.
This Wu Laoer is really good at calculating.
Before Lu Wei could speak, Wu Liu, who had been silent all the time and had not changed her expression even after being sold, suddenly knelt down with a plop.
She kowtowed to Lu Wei directly.
"Master Lu... Young Master Lu, please accept Xiaoya. I will work more and eat less in the future. As long as I can feed her, please accept her."
Lu Wei looked at the ignorant little girl, and then looked at Wu Liushi kneeling on the ground begging, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, you get up, this child will follow us in the future."
The reason why he agreed to accept Wu Xiaoya was because Lu Wei knew that if he didn't accept her, the little girl might not live long.
She might have to be replaced by Wu Laoer one day. If such a young child was replaced, there would be only one end, to be eaten.
Moreover, accepting Wu Xiaoya, if for nothing else, it would not be a loss just to improve Wu Liushi's favorability.
This favorability is related to the return multiple, so it can't be missed if it can be improved.
When Wu Liushi heard Lu Wei's agreement, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Wei.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kindness, I will definitely work like a cow and a horse to repay you."
Work like a cow and a horse? Wouldn't that mean I have to give you grass? Woman, I accepted you out of kindness, but you still want a reward.
Slurp...
"Ding, the binding target Wu Liushi is found, do you want to bind?"
"I came here for this, how can I not bind. Lu Wei was about to say bind,
"The system issued another prompt.
"Ding, the bindable target Wu Xiaoya is found, do you want to bind?"
Lu Wei was stunned, who? Wu Xiaoya? This little thing?
System, you are going too far
