When the author meets the villain BOSS [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 4 The Opponent in the Fate of the Boss
To say it was unexpected, more precisely, it should be beyond Mu Bai's expectation.After all, although I have heard of such things as human trafficking in my previous life, I have never experienced it myself. I suddenly came to this place where population can be traded openly, and I didn't realize it.
It is very understandable to say that it is reasonable.This family is really struggling to survive. If you sell a child, you can not only reduce some burdens, get some emergency money, and maybe even make the life of the sold child better in the future.
The eldest is eleven, and he can help the family with some physical work immediately, so naturally it will not be considered.The eldest is two or nine years old. It is not easy to raise a child of a poor family to this age, and it will not be the first choice.There is a newborn little sister at the bottom, the first three are all boys, Wang's love for this only little girl is a little bit more, and she is not willing to take it out to be a child bride-in-law. Besides, according to the custom here, girls It's not worth a lot of money to take it out.So there was only one Mu Sanlang who was seven years old and looked pitifully five years old.
This child is not born enough, with a sallow complexion and a playful heart. He went out for a while and went crazy for a while, and he was not active for a few days when he came back. Who knows whether he will grow up or not?Furthermore, many rich families love young servants at this age, and they can run errands after two years of care, which is convenient and loyal.Wang's heart was cruel, and she decided that it was him.
It was probably because she was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave home and would cry and make a scene. After Wang made up her mind, she began to snub him a few days earlier, picking her nose and eyes.Mu Bai was a little helpless, he wasn't really a child who didn't know the world, and he was born as an orphan, he was a little more careful than ordinary people, Wang's red eye circles and the reluctance and guilt in his eyes were all clearly seen.
Moreover, although Mrs. Wang has a strict mouth, the two older brothers are still young, and they don't know where to get the news. Two days ago, Ergen's classmate told him: "Mom is talking about selling you. This will save Dad."
I am young and I don't know how helpless it is to part.
The day finally came for the showdown.Mrs. Wang pulled Mu Bai to her side, and straightened the messy hairs on his head: "Sanlang, mother wants to send you to another family, maybe your life will be better than at home in the future some, would you like to?"
Mu Bai nodded calmly: "Yes."
Wang Shiben thought of a lot of excuses, but he didn't expect the child to be so calm, and he was stunned for a while.Looking carefully at this child who has been a bit different recently, seeing his eyes that seem to understand everything, feeling sad for a moment, and I choked up.Thinking that he heard the news from the neighbors, he hugged Mu Bai so distressed: "Sanlang, don't blame the mother for being cruel, it's really God who wants people's lives, or send you away, you guys Four babies, my mother really can't bring them up..."
Mu Bai patted Wang's back, silently expressing his comfort.Although he regards this family as relatives, after all, he hasn't been with him for too long, and his temperament is relatively indifferent. He really doesn't feel the uncomfortable method like Wang's, who seems to have lost his heart.It can only be said that if I do well in the future, I will never forget this family.
Early the next morning, the sky was still bright, so Wang took Mu Bai on the road.
Walking through one piece of barren field after another, walking through a few bare fields, I saw a few old sparrows with their feathers missing looking for food in vain, and the monotonous and noisy voice of a few old crows came from a distance.The deserted villages near and far are desolate, and even the shadows of people can't be seen, only the hollow whine of the cold wind blowing through the woods.
After turning over a few low hills, the number of villages gradually increased, but unfortunately, they didn't look too rich.Mrs. Wang didn't stop, and walked straight through, until she reached a market town that looked relatively large, and then began to knock on the back doors of several big families one by one to ask if they needed anyone.
Generally, children are sold by planting straw signs in the market, and those who are interested will come to inquire.It's just that the town isn't very big, and there are only a few houses that can afford maidservants, so Mrs. Wang just came to the door directly, which can save some time.
Selling yourself was a novel experience for Mu Bai who had no idea at first, but after hitting a wall a few times, he didn't think so.Because the process is really not very good, not too different from selling livestock.
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a butler with a pipe in his mouth, raised his head, glanced at Mu Bai and his wife out of the corner of his eye, and shook his head proudly without saying a word.A well-dressed woman squeezed Mu Bai's small arms and legs in disgust, picked him from head to toe, and finally sighed: "Who knows if a child like this will grow up? If you go back, you will be scolded to death by your wife."
There are also those who sympathize with them, but the family really doesn't need anyone.Mu Bai looked up at the woman with kinder eyebrows, and his tender voice tried to be calm and reliable: "I will do a lot of things."
The woman rubbed his head with a smile: "Oh? What do you know?"
Among other things, in this era, literacy is quite rare, right?He can also count.But these words are unreasonable and shocking, so Mu Bai had no choice but to count with his fingers: "At home, I can gather firewood, light a fire, feed chickens and ducks, feed pigs and dogs, and rock the cradle for my sister. I'm a fast learner. Just look at something and it will do, really."
Because I opened the hook, I lived more than 20 years longer than others.Things that children can do, he should be able to get started quickly after looking at them.If he behaves better and pretends to learn arithmetic quickly in the future, he may become a servant of the accountant from a boy serving tea and water. I wonder if he can be a housekeeper or something in the end?
The woman was really surprised, not because he could pick up sticks and make a fire, but because of his well-organized narrative and generous attitude.
Looking at the child's obedient face and shining eyes, she couldn't help saying to Wang: "This eldest sister, I didn't say that this child seems to be promising. The family has a little difficulty. Tighten your belt and bear it." It's over after a while, so why bother to sell it to others? Once you sign the contract of selling yourself, life or death is irrelevant, and you don't know how many trials you will have to endure."
Wang's tears fell down again, probably because she had been depressed for a long time, so she told the whole story in a whimpering manner.This is the first time Mu Bai heard of the complete reason, and it turned out to be his father.Father Mu's situation is not going well recently, and the more reliable doctor he originally hired can't stand it anymore, so he recommends another doctor to the Wang family.That doctor's medical skills are good, but he has a big air and a high price, so it's not easy to hire.
The Mu family couldn't open the pot at all, so where did the money come from?I have no choice but to sell my sons and daughters.
The woman sighed with her for a while, and sighed: "Oh, the world is difficult, and it's true that people can't help it, but I think it's easy. Let me tell you this, there is indeed no shortage of people in this town recently, and it is probably useless for you to leave. Listen to me, today I will stay overnight at the Jiming Temple in the north of this town, and I will take my children to Fengliu City tomorrow morning to have a look. There are many people there, and there are countless big families, and a straw sign is planted on the head of the child , someone will come up to ask, if this one fails, there is another one.”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mu Bai, and leaned into Wang's ear and said something.Mu Bai vaguely heard that it was "can be sold at a higher price", probably because he was worried that the direct bargaining would hurt the child's heart, so he didn't say it face to face.
However, Mu Bai's attention was attracted by a few words, Jiming Temple?Wind Willow City?As an author who was still thinking about the plot of his novel at the last moment in the previous life, these two place names that collided with his novel suddenly penetrated into his ears.
Maybe it's a homonym, he felt that he was a little too sensitive.Shaking his head, the most important task now is to sell himself.It's just that such a skinny sample is really hard to sell, and it's useless to pretend to be good. No one wants to waste money accidentally.
Mrs. Wang did not give up and went to a few more houses. Sure enough, as the woman said before, there is really no shortage of people in the town now.They walked around the neighboring towns again, and they either thought that Mu Bai was not good looking or there was no shortage of people.It always gets dark early in winter.After coming and going, the sun hung on the top of the mountain, and after a blink of an eye, it sank to the back of the mountain.
The twilight is all together, and the cold smoke is everywhere.In desperation, Wang had no choice but to take Mu Bai who was almost exhausted and paralyzed, and went to Jiming Temple to spend the night according to the woman's instructions.It will take more than half a day to get to Fengliu City from here. If you go back, you will definitely not be able to make it to the city tomorrow.
In fact, she was also prepared to go more places. She prepared some food for the two children early in the morning, and asked a neighbor who had just given birth to help take care of the little daughter, and told Mu Da to remember to cook porridge for me. .If you can't go back for a day or two, there will be no big trouble.
After all, they are notoriously poor there, and even small thieves and bandits don't want to go there.
Mu Bairen's calves are short, and his calves keep tossing and turning all day long, and now they are as soft as noodles.Wang pulled him to the north with distress, seeing the Jiming Temple in the distance, passing by a large courtyard, and suddenly heard a commotion inside.
A woman's voice was crying and shouting: "...Oh, I knew it would be difficult to be a stepmother at the beginning, but if I had known it would be so difficult, I would not have entered this door even if I died... A little bit of emphasis would be all right... It’s the stepmother’s fault. Since I entered this door, I haven’t done any harm to Xuan’er, but look at him, what does he think of me?! It’s hard to live this day..."
Then a furious male voice shouted: "An Chenxuan! Are you going to piss your mother off? Why don't you kowtow to your mother and apologize?"
A cold voice came: "It wasn't my fault in the first place, why do you have to apologize?" The owner of the voice was still a child, and although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, he still trembled a little.
What followed was the woman's higher-pitched cries, the man's furious yelling, mixed with other people's persuasion and the sound of adding fuel to the fire, which had a kind of chicken-flying smell.
With a final squeak, the back door of the yard was opened, and a big bearded man pushed a child out who seemed to be no more than XX years old: "You have to reflect on yourself! If you still don't admit your mistake, don't do it today." Enter the house, let’s freeze to death outside! In my life, I lack virtue to give birth to such a stubborn thing like you!"
The child was wearing a half-worn cotton padded jacket, with stubborn brows and eyes, and stood outside the door without saying a word.Someone on the side of the road pointed, but he also seemed to disappear.
An old man sighed: "Oh, this Anjia is really not safe for a moment."
A fat woman interfaced: "No, since the stepmother entered the door, there have been big dramas every two days. I don't know when it will be the first."
Some people also retorted: "How do I hear that this child is not worrying all day long? It's too skinny to have a child. You should take care of it. It's better than murdering and arson when you grow up."
The previous fat woman refused to accept it, and the two immediately started arguing.One said this was not good, the other said that was not good, the parents were the most indistinct, and for a while all kinds of credible and unreliable rumors were thrown out.
Someone also kindly persuaded the child: "Son, what's the matter with you and your father? There is no overnight feud in the family, and your father's anger will disappear, so naturally everything will be fine."
The pretty-eyed child tightly pursed his lips, tears rolling in his eyes, without saying a word.The man persuaded again, and he turned around silently.
The passer-by hit a soft nail and left angrily.
Mu Bai opened his mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't help tugging at Wang's sleeve: "Mother, what's the name of this town?"
"Taiping Town, what's the matter? It is said that there used to be a lot of bandits and bandits, and it was not peaceful, so it was named like this." Wang wondered why the children would pay attention to these things.
Mu Bairu was struck by lightning, Taiping Town, An Chenxuan, stepmother.Plus the Jiming Temple and Fengliu City that I heard before.Is this... really such a coincidence?All of them matched the people and things in his novels one by one.
Glancing at the little figure with his back to everyone, Mu Bai suddenly became excited, this, this, this is the man who will stand at the pinnacle of martial arts in the future!An Chenxuan, the protagonist in his novel!I feel extremely tall in an instant, is there any reason? !
It is very understandable to say that it is reasonable.This family is really struggling to survive. If you sell a child, you can not only reduce some burdens, get some emergency money, and maybe even make the life of the sold child better in the future.
