Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

The troupe leader saw that the young man had fainted and wanted to take him back.

Lou Lan'er stopped the troupe leader aside and said, "You beat this little boy to pieces. Are you going to go back and continue to be tortured? I'm going to report it to the official and say that you are taking human life lightly!"

When the troupe leader heard that he was going to report to the official, he was a little panicked and said quickly: "I bought this baby for two taels of silver. If you want to take it away, you have to give me some money."

The young man's back was covered in blood, and he was afraid that he would die if he returned to the theater. The theater leader didn't look like a kind person, so how could he be treated? Mao Xi decided to save people until the end.

"The money is simple, but I want to see the deed of betrayal."

"Give me money first. When I see the money, I will release him. Otherwise, it will be useless for you to report to the official."

Mao Xi took two taels of silver from his purse and threw it to the troupe leader. He bit the silver and then returned to the tent and took out the deed of betrayal.

After checking the deed of sale, Lou Laner carried the young man into the car and checked his injuries.

A group of children in the theater troupe clapped their hands and cheered when they saw the boy being rescued.

The troupe leader turned his head, cracked his whip and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Why don't you go back quickly."

Seeing that the young man was seriously injured, everyone took him to Dr. Zhang's hospital.

Doctor Zhang cleaned the boy's wound, applied medicated powder, and sighed: "Who did it so cruelly? This kid's back is covered with old wounds."

Mao Xi told Dr. Zhang the whole story. Dr. Zhang's daughter Youfang took out a new piece of clothing from the house, handed it to Dr. Zhang and said, "Dad, why don't you let him live with us first? The baby's injury is so serious that he can no longer The journey is tiring."

"Doctor Zhang, is his life in danger?"

"It's okay. Let him stay here temporarily. He will be cured after a few days of medicine."

Mao Xi thanked Doctor Zhang and was about to hand over all the medicine money for the past few days to Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang only accepted today's consultation fee and said: "I admire Miss Ah Xiao very much because she saw injustice on the road. Please let me raise this baby for a few days without giving you any more money."

After bidding farewell to Dr. Zhang, Mao Xi's family returned to Liujiacun with peace of mind.

On the way, Mrs. Chen made a suggestion: "Ah Shu, why don't we rent a small house in Lihua Town, so that it is convenient to stock the food shop every day, and we don't have to run in both directions all the time."

Mao Xi thought for a moment. Since he had no plans to open a restaurant yet, he might as well listen to his mother-in-law first.

"Auntie, the old house needs to be renovated. I'll look for a house in the town, preferably near the shop."

Mrs. Chen smiled happily. Ever since she opened the food shop, life has been getting better and better.

After returning home, cousin Yuying was waiting in front of Mao Xi's house.

She stepped forward, gave a shawl to Mao Xi, and said, "Ah Ma, it's almost the winter solstice. I'll give you this shawl. Thank you for saving me the last time."

The shoulders of the shawl are embroidered with golden wheat ears.

Seeing that her cousin was about to leave, Mao Xi stopped her.

"Sister Yuying, your embroidery skills are so good, you can actually find a job in an embroidery workshop in the town. A woman does not have to be kept in a boudoir and become a vase for others to admire. She can also make a living outside and become self-reliant! "

"Self-improvement? Self-reliance? Ah Shu, I understand."

After Yuying left, Lou Laner took the shawl and admired it, admiring: "This embroidery work is really good, Ah Xiao, your cousin Yuying is the wiser."

After Mao Xi rescued Yuying from the Peng family, she had not seen her second uncle's family come to thank her, let alone her stepmother. But recently, the old woman doesn't come to the door to yell at her, but chooses to take a detour.

The next day, Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er came to Dr. Zhang's Medical Center to check the boy's injuries.

The young man was already awake and half lying on the bed. Dr. Zhang's daughter Youfang is feeding her decoction.

Seeing his savior, the young man wanted to get up, but Lou Laner stopped him.

"You're a little boy, you're really lucky, just stay here and recuperate at Dr. Zhang's place." After speaking, Lou Lan'er put a bag of oranges on the table.

Lou Lan'er took out the young man's deed of betrayal and said, "I've got your deed of betrayal for you. You don't have to work for the leader anymore. You can just burn this deed of betrayal, and you will be free from now on."

The young man took the deed of betrayal and looked at it. Looking back on the past, he burst into tears.

Youfang took the candlestick and nodded to the young man, who burned the deed of betrayal.

The young man bent down and kept thanking: "Thank you sisters, from now on I will work like a cow or a horse, but I still want to repay my sisters for their kindness."

Lou Lan'er: "Xiaoerlang, what are your plans in the future?"

The young man wiped away his tears and told his three sisters about his miserable life experience.

"My name is A Dong. I just turned ten this year. My parents died early. When I was six years old, I was sold to the troupe owner by my grandfather. From then on, I worked for him in the troupe. All the dolls in the troupe were bought by the troupe owner."

"Then why did the troupe leader hit you yesterday?" Shui Xi asked.

"Although the troupe master let us perform acrobatic performances on the stage, he also asked us to pretend to be spectators and steal money for him off the stage. Because I didn't want to do this stealing again, the troupe master beat me." The boy finished. I couldn't help but feel sad, and the injury on my back seemed to be cracking, and there was a dull pain.

You Fang went outside the house to get the medicinal powder and cloth, and Dr. Zhang went inside together.

The young man continued: "Some of the other dolls in the troupe are not willing to cooperate with the troupe leader in stealing. Like me, they have to be beaten every day."

Doctor Zhang changed the boy's wound medicine and bandaged it.

"You have many old wounds on your body, good boy. It's rare that you have a clear heart and don't collude with that troupe leader. If you are willing, you can be an apprentice in my medicine hall from now on and help me get medicine."

A Dong hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and Doctor Zhang kept him as an apprentice.

After coming out of the hospital, Shui Xi asked Lou Lan'er: "If the troupe leader is still on the stage today and instructs the child to steal, why don't we give him a piece of cake and everyone gets the stolen goods?"

"Ah Shu, that's exactly what I meant!"

In the evening, on the stage, the troupe leader began to perform acrobatics, and the audience cheered.

Lou Lan'er and Shu Xi held some popcorn and sold it in the auditorium.

The troupe leader recognized Mao Xi and the two of them backstage, and today he did not let the boys steal. Instead, halfway through the performance, he came on the stage, dressed in costume, and started singing.

It was like this for three days in a row.

The two returned without success. Lou Lan'er analyzed that they should have been recognized by the troupe leader. If he wanted to show his weakness, he would have to change people.

"Ah Shu, why don't you let A Dong help and let him dismantle this theater troupe from within?"

Mao Xi shook her head and said that A Dong's injury was just healed. He had just escaped from slavery and had a new life. How could he be allowed to have anything to do with the troupe leader again?

While the two were hesitating, Mao Xi saw the acrobatic children in the theater troupe sitting under the stage during their break, surrounding the old master who made dough, and they couldn't stop watching. She had a plan in mind.
