Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Unexpectedly, the lady of the Liu family said very calmly: "That's right, these young ladies are all good at farming at home, but unfortunately there was a flood this year, and these girls sold them if they couldn't make it through the family."

Xiao Zirong looked at those little ladies and was a little confused. In his impression, good farmers are usually men. After all, they have good physical strength and strength. I have never seen that when the court divides the fields, men are given more than women.

But now that these girls are good at farming, Xiao Zirong felt a little unbelievable. He glanced at Mrs. Liu, with a faint expression on his face: "Don't lie to me."

Although he didn't say anything threatening and didn't show anger, the aura came out.

After all, he can be regarded as a person who has experienced life and death and directly wiped out the robbers. How could these things have no effect on him?In addition, after arriving at the station, he was the one who made up most of the decisions, and there was also Liu Cainiang who could occasionally discuss with him. While training his ability to deal with various emergencies, it also allowed his temperament to develop. a big change.

All in all, in the eyes of Mrs. Liu's family, she looks like the kind of person who often gives orders.

The lady of the Liu family quickly said: "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiaolang? Don't look at them now, it's because the family suffered from disasters and were starving. You must know something about this place. It depends on women, men are not good, you can also want men, men are cheaper."

Xiao Zirong felt that the three views were about to be reshaped, he coughed lightly and said, "I really don't understand this aspect."

He didn't intend to pretend to understand, anyway, he was a customer, and this person didn't look like a talkative person, so he just asked.

But the one who explained to him was not the lady of the Liu family but the broker, who said with a smile: "The farmers in this country are usually women, so the lady of the Liu family really didn't lie to Mr. Xiao Lang."

Xiao Zirong asked: "Women farm the land, what about men?"

The broker took it for granted: "A man's support is of course to make money to support his family."

Xiao Zirong glanced at him and sneered. For ordinary people, farming is the job of supporting their families. What can a man do if he doesn't even grow land?

However, he also knew that the broker should be helping to speak, and it should be impossible for a man not to grow any land. However, everyone thinks that women are the main force in farming, which shows the current world.

Xiao Zirong sighed and glanced at those little ladies, there were exactly ten of them, and asked, "How much?"

If you don't have enough money, just take it all away. Judging by the appearance of these people, it may not be good to stay here, especially these little ladies are not very good-looking.

The lady of the Liu family immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you are so happy, so I will be happy too. A total of [-] copper coins will do, and you can exchange it with other things."

Fifty copper coins for ten people.

Xiao Zirong had no time to express his feelings, so he turned his head to look at Liu Cainiang, who immediately pointed out fifty copper coins.

The lady of the Liu family accepted the money excitedly, and then heard the young gentleman ask: "Is there anyone here who can read?"

The lady of the Liu family was slightly taken aback: "This...that's not true. Those who can read are generally the family members of officials and eunuchs. These are official servants and maidservants, and they can't live here."

Xiao Zirong just asked casually, even in the heyday of the feudal society, there were not many literate people, not to mention the current state of continuous war, even if there is no war, the situation is chaotic.

Since there is no him, we have no choice but to continue to train those little ladies.

He asked Liu Cainiang to take care of the deeds of sale of these young ladies. He didn't value this much at first, but with this in hand, these newly bought young ladies should be more obedient.

Just as he got up and walked out, he suddenly saw a man barging in with something in his hand.

Xiao Zirong was taken aback, and before he could react, he saw the man yelling: "Miss Liu, this bitch gave it to you, and I'll sell it for some money."

Xiao Zirong's eyes widened. He knew that the people who would be sold in the dental shop were generally sold by their family members or abducted by a little seller.

But he didn't know how to sell it, or didn't want to know.

This is probably the first time he has faced the scene of selling people.

The lady of the Liu family went up to meet him immediately, while the broker stood in front of Xiao Zirong to protect him, as if he was afraid that he would be bumped by that man.

The lady of the Liu family asked: "Yang Wu, what are you doing? Let go."

The man named Yang Wu raised his hand and said, "Just tell me how much this bitch can sell for."

It was only at this time that Xiao Zirong saw clearly that the man was holding a woman in his hand. Yang Wu pulled her hair, but the woman did not resist, not knowing whether it was life or death.

The lady of the Liu family hesitated and said: "What are you doing? This is the little lady of the Bai family, you are not afraid of doing this..."

Yang Wu sneered: "What happened to the Bai family? How could I have married her if it wasn't because she was from the Bai family? I thought it would make me better, but who knew that the Bai family was implicated in the treason case. It's all over, what do I keep her for?"

Although what Yang Wu said was not particularly clear, it could also remind people of the cause and effect. Xiao Zirong's face sank after hearing this, but he didn't say much.

There have never been many people like Yang Wu, and the Phoenix men of later generations are no different from him.

As a bystander, although he is angry, he still speaks cautiously. Maybe he is happy in a moment of righteous anger, but it is equivalent to disaster for those who are caught in the fire pit, especially in this era where women are not regarded as human beings at all.

The lady of the Liu family was also taken aback: "Conspiracy? This... this is a serious crime."

Impatiently, Yang Wu threw her on the ground and said, "That's not true, so deal with her quickly, who knows when she will be implicated."

Although treason is a serious crime, generally married daughters are not within the scope of accountability.

But even so, if her mother's family loses power, the girl will not have a good time in her husband's family.

It's just that it's hard to go back home, and there are not many wives who are so beastly that they will throw people to the dental shop to sell them.

This sale is considered cheap.

Killing people without nodding their heads to the ground is even more ruthless than killing people.

The girl from the Bai family lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up.

The lady of the Liu family quickly helped her up, and then gasped: "This... What's going on with Qiniang's face?"

Yang Wu said impatiently: "It's because she can't even start a fire, so I taught her a lesson."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Bai Qiniang. Although the other party lowered his head, he could vaguely see the scar on his face. The scar... looked like a burn.

The lady of the Liu family frowned and said, "How can you sell it if your face is ruined? You don't accept it, you don't accept it."

Yang Wu immediately raised his eyebrows: "If you don't accept me, I will kill her immediately."

The lady of the Liu family said helplessly: "This face is ruined, how can you sell it? Since you want to sell someone, protect your face."

The lady of the Liu family felt sorry for Bai Qiniang, but she didn't dare to accept it casually.

The Bai family is a well-known local family in another county, and Bai Qiniang is a side branch of the Bai family. Now they don't know if the Bai family is really involved in the conspiracy case. Do you want to live?

Yang Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Bitch who lost money, come with me!"

As he spoke, he pulled Bai Qiniang's hair again.

Bai Qiniang stood there in a daze, letting the man grab her by the hair and drag her away, as if she had gone stupid.

At this moment, Liu Cainiang suddenly said, "Stop!"

The man turned his head and took a look, and frowned after seeing Liu Cainiang, the disgust on his face was visible at a glance, but his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Zirong, and he didn't move away.

Xiao Zirong said in a cold voice, "You're watching me gouging out your eyes."

Yang Wu was taken aback, and immediately didn't dare to look any more, looked at Liu Cainiang and asked loudly, "What do you want to do?"

Liu Cainiang was just impulsive just now, and she couldn't tell what she wanted to do for a while when asked by Yang Wu, so she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong knew in his heart that Liu Cainiang might have felt compassion, so he stood up and said, "You handle it yourself."

After he finished speaking, he felt that it might be a bit cold to say so, so he added: "It doesn't matter what you want to do."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went out. The weather was so hot, so many people gathered in this room made him a little unbearable, especially the smell of those little ladies was not very good, Xiao Zirong urgently needed to go out now Take a breath.

But at this time Yang Wu was dragging Bai Qiniang to block the door, and Xiao Zirong would have to pass by them if he wanted to go out, so Xiao Zirong stood in front of Yang Wu, raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Give way."

After all, he was young and not as tall as Yang Wu, but even so, Yang Wu didn't dare to make eye contact with him. The person who was very arrogant just now suppressed his temper, gritted his teeth and stepped aside.

After Xiao Zirong went out, his gaze followed Xiao Zirong subconsciously, and the broker beside him frowned.

Xiao Zirong's words and his behavior of forcing Yang Wu to retreat gave Liu Cainiang some confidence, she said calmly, "I bought this person, how much is it?"

Yang Wu's eyes turned around Xiao Zirong outside, and he felt that the other party was dressed so well that he must not be short of money, so he opened his mouth and said, "Five hundred copper coins."

Five hundred pieces, half a penny, Liu Cainiang almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing this, the pile of things they bought on the mule cart outside was only at this price, the most expensive thing was cloth, this person actually opened his mouth for this price, really thinks she Is it easy to bully?

Liu Cainiang resisted the urge to beat Yang Wu up, turned her head to the Liu family and said, "I bought Bai Qiniang at the same price as them, you go and tell him, how much you can earn is up to you gone."

The lady of the Liu family immediately looked happy. The ten people she just sold can be regarded as the batch with the highest price in her hands. This wave has already made her a lot of money, and Bai Qiniang... It wasn't ruined, but it might fetch a good price, but now that the face is ruined, and it looks weak and weak, it can't be picked up or lifted, it's not worth much at all.

There is a lot of oil and water in it, and the lady of the Liu family was quite moved and said hesitantly: "But...she is a lady of the Bai family after all, if her natal family comes to see me selling her in the future, then..."

Liu Cainiang also knew that the Bai family might not be a fuel-efficient lamp, and...how could an ordinary family be involved in a major treason case?It is impossible to be involved in such a crime without a certain status.

She hesitated for a moment. Xiao Zirong, who was standing outside the door to enjoy the cool air, kept listening to the situation inside. Liu Cainiang knew what the other party was struggling with without making a sound, and said without turning her head: "If the Bai family comes to the door to let you They came looking for me."

He spoke very confidently, and the lady of the Liu family subconsciously looked at Liu Cainiang, and then saw Liu Cainiang's dazed expression, turned her head and said with a smile, "Yes, just call us if you need anything."

The lady of the Liu family felt more and more that their identities were unusual, and turned to Yang Wu.

They didn't avoid Yang Wu when they talked just now, and Yang Wu was also a little confused at this time.

The lady of the Liu family said calmly: "Yang Wu, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood. You will still have to live here in the future. You can't cheat your acquaintances."

Yang Wu's heart skipped a beat, he just wanted to sell Bai Qiniang at a good price just now, but now the other party reminded him so that he remembered Mrs. Liu... It seems that there is someone behind her.

Indeed, it is possible to open a dental clinic these days, even in such a small place like Liangxiang County, how could there be no one behind it?

The lady of the Liu family is not something that ordinary people can offend. Even though he thought so, Yang Wu still pouted and said, "Then...you can't trick me. Although this bitch has a ruined face, she has a good figure and can read. The price can't be lowered."

The lady of the Liu family sneered: "Sell it to a wealthy family as a slave? What's the use of literacy? Some rich people are good-looking and literate. That's fine. I'll give it to you at the previous price. Stay here."

Xiao Zirong stood outside and frowned slightly as he listened. It seemed that Yang Wulai had betrayed people not once or twice, but he was indeed a scumbag. I don't know why the Bai family would marry their daughter to him since they are so powerful?

Having Mrs. Liu saved them a lot of work, and Liu Cainiang was quite clever in this matter.

After all the procedures were completed and the deed of sale was obtained, the lady of the Liu family walked up to Bai Qiniang and raised her hand to help her tidy up the messy bun. Seeing that Bai Qiniang flinched when she raised her hand, she couldn't help but Zhu felt sore and said: "Don't be afraid, no one will dare to bully you in the future, Mr. Lang...you are very nice."

Bai Qiniang nodded to her, quiet and docile, just looking at her numb eyes, she knew that she must have suffered a lot.

Liu Cainiang came out with a group of young ladies, Xiao Zirong turned around and asked, "Is it resolved?"

Liu Cainiang nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Zirong didn't ask much but said, "Let's go."

Liu Cainiang responded, and followed Xiao Zirong out with her people.

Xiao Zirong sighed inwardly, originally he wanted to take a few male slaves back, not because he looked down on the little lady, but mainly because he was the only man in the station now, how could he not feel good about it.

Unfortunately, in the end, I still bought eleven little ladies.

Now they are not only full of yin and yang decline, but almost no yang, and only a few babies who are still in their infancy are boys.

The more Xiao Zirong thought about it, the more frustrated she became, but she couldn't show it. It wouldn't be the case if the little ladies who had just been sold mistakenly thought that the master didn't like it and were frightened.

He turned his head and threw a few copper coins to the broker and said, "Okay, you have been with us for a long time, this is your hard-earned money, we will leave the city now."

The broker immediately smiled with the copper coins, put them away and persuaded: "It's getting late, why don't Mr. Xiaolang stay for one night before leaving?"

Xiao Zirong said in his heart that if he stays for one more day, it will be dangerous for one more day, what if he meets someone who knows him?

Judging from the series of things he traveled through, he never had any hope for his luck, so he said with a flat face: "The convoy is outside the city, and the environment here is not very good. We are going to hurry as soon as possible."

It’s not easy for Xiao Zirong to talk about brokers in this way. After thinking about it, I still want to remind him: “Xiao Langjun, then Yang Wu is a desperado. You must be careful after you leave the city. It is best to let someone go out first to find someone Accept you."

Xiao Zirong was taken aback for a moment: "Desperado? Has this person had human blood on his hands?"

The broker hesitated a little and said, "That's how it's spread, but he sold a lot of people before, so it's probably not a legitimate source."

Xiao Zirong frowned slightly, but in order not to collapse the character, he still said gently: "Thank you for reminding me, but I heard that the Bai family is not an ordinary family, how could you marry your little lady to such a person? What secret?"

The broker glanced at Bai Qiniang who was following behind with her head down, sighed and said, "Hey, it's just something about the backyard. Their family is a side branch of the Bai family, and they are already relatively down-and-out. She is her father Born by the original spouse, when her mother passed away, her father turned around and continued, the stepmother was not a virtuous person, so he married her to a distant relative Yang Wu, so..."

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong didn't know what to say, and felt even more sympathetic to Bai Qiniang in his heart. At this moment when they reached the gate of the city, Xiao Zirong turned to the broker and said, "There will be a period later."

The broker was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists indiscriminately and said, "Later... there will be a period later."

When the two of them were talking, neither of them saw a man with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes sneaking out of the city.

Xiao Zirong and the others were cautious after they left the city, and Liu Cainiang couldn't tell Bai Qiniang too much about the station on the way, so she just held her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you in the future. "

It's just that this kind of comfort was rather pale after all, and Bai Qiniang didn't respond except for nodding occasionally.

Xiao Zirong made some calculations, turned his head and said: "According to our current pace, if we go in the dark, we can go back. If we don't want to be in the dark, we have to sleep outside for a night."

Liu Cainiang said: "Let's go back, we haven't prepared any outfits yet."

Xiao Zirong nodded, hey, it was because they were inexperienced. Of course, they didn't know how far Liangxiang County was from them before. Xiao Zirong didn't have much idea of ​​walking speed even if he had a map.

The result was that it was already late when they arrived in Liangxiang County, and it would be even later after shopping and tossing. It was hard to say when they would be able to go back at night.

Especially the road to the station is not very easy to walk, or there is no road at all, the original road has been covered by bushes and other things, weeds are overgrown, Xiao Zirong and the others are weeding all the way out go.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zirong said, "Speed ​​up your pace, the mountain road is not easy to walk at night."

Liu Cainiang nodded, followed Xiao Zirong and asked in a low voice, "City Lord, don't you...don't want to reveal your identity?"

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she asked such a question, she couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Yes, did I do something to expose my identity?"

Liu Cainiang said in a low voice: "What if the Bai family is really fine and they come to the door? I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them if you don't reveal your identity."

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment before he realized that when he asked the Bai family to find him, Liu Cainiang misunderstood him as using his identity to suppress the other party, so he couldn't help laughing for a moment: "The Bai family has to find it if they want it, do you think they can find us? the residence?"

Cainiang Liu: ...

It seems that they really can't find them. As long as they are careful not to be followed, once they enter the mountain, it is impossible for anyone to find them.

What's more, that area has long been regarded as a forbidden area because of the tragic death of many people. Over the years, even passing by has to be detoured. As time goes by, no one comes.

Liu Cainiang realized that she was different after thinking about this, and she couldn't help laughing: "That's true, then Bai Qiniang is really safe."

Xiao Zirong nodded and said to Liu Cainiang: "Go back and ask her name, she is different from others, she probably won't go out even if you want her to go out in the future."

As for the name, the main reason is that there are too many young ladies in the resident without a name, so there is a ranking. There are more than a dozen of Qiniang alone, and some even don’t even have a surname. It will be better than now to come up with a collective name in the future.

Liu Cainiang didn't think too much about it, she responded and turned her head to look at Bai Qiniang, then spotted a sneaky figure not far away with sharp eyes, and couldn't help frowning.

At first, she thought she was wrong, but after pretending to look back several times, she could see a figure following them, she couldn't help but wake up immediately, and immediately moved to Xiao Zirong's side and whispered: "City Lord, someone is following us."

Xiao Zirong's heart suddenly tensed and subconsciously looked back, and then found that there were only them on the road, and there were no trees around, so he didn't see anything at all, so he couldn't help asking: "Is that right?"

Liu Cainiang shook her head and said, "I can't be mistaken, I just hid behind the rock over there."

Xiao Zirong took a deep breath and asked, "How many people?"

Liu Cainiang said, "There is only one."

Xiao Zirong immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Get him out."

As for what to do after you find out, it depends on the identity of the other party. If it is a sergeant who finds out his identity... then I'm sorry, you don't leave.

Killing will not kill, but he will take people all the way back to the station to watch him not let him out.

If it's a robber spies, then let's use the knife in hand, as long as one of the robbers is counted, it will not be wronged if they cut off all of them.

As for the others...that's another discussion.

Xiao Zirong felt that it was likely that they bought so many things in Liangxiang County that attracted people's attention, or that they brought so many things, the seeds and cloth were still very valuable, not to mention chickens and ducks.

So there is a high probability that it is a robber.

Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Cainiang had already run over single-handedly with a stick in her hand.

Xiao Zirong:! ! ! !

He asked Liu Cainiang to find a way to make the other party show up, not to challenge the other party!

He ran over nervously, only to find that the man didn't run away after realizing that he had been exposed, but stood there and waited for them.

As soon as Xiao Zirong passed by, she heard Liu Cainiang asking angrily: "Do you want to die?"

As a result, the other party said: "Ugly go away, I am looking for Mr. Xiao Lang."

Xiao Zirong frowned suddenly, and when he got closer, he found that it was Yang Wu.

Thinking of what the broker said before, Xiao Zirong waved at Lu Liu directly, then turned his head to look at Yang Wu and said, "What are you doing with us?"

Yang Wu fixed his eyes on Xiao Zirong's face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Lang is so capable that he even deceived the lady of the Liu family."

Xiao Zirong asked, "What did I lie to?"

"They all regard you as the young gentleman of a wealthy family. From my point of view, the young gentleman may not have a good background. Now I have a shortcut to make the young gentleman rich and powerful. You might as well come with me."

While Yang Wu was talking, he reached out his hand to grab Xiao Zirong's hand, but Xiao Zirong sideways avoided him and looked at him coldly and said, "I didn't want to cause trouble, but you bumped into it yourself."

After he finished speaking, he said to Liu Cainiang and Lu Liu: "Let's fight, I'll be the one who kills you."

After listening to his words, Yang Wu laughed and said, "What do you think I have been relying on for so many years? Just these two little ladies? Tell you, I am born with infinite strength. If I can't hold back, don't you Blame me."

Xiao Zirong understood, no wonder Yang Wulang dared to follow them alone, the co-author had practiced a little bit of honor, and he didn't know how many people he bullied by brute force.

However, this was indeed not good news for them. Xiao Zirong turned his head and glanced at Liu Cainiang and Lu Liu, only to find that these two young ladies were not afraid at all.

Liu Cainiang even patted Lu Liu and said, "Go, let him see it."

Xiao Zirong was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Lu Liu rushing up to Yang Wu and pulling up his skirt. Yang Wu sneered, and reached out to pull Lu Liu's hair, but as soon as he reached out, Lu Liu put his arms directly on him. Tossed out.

Xiao Zirong's eyes widened immediately, realizing that this was not over yet, Lu Liu picked up a stone that was about half a person's height and threw it at Yang Wu.

Xiao Zirong gasped suddenly, and before he could stop him, he saw Yang Wu being crushed under the stone.

Yang Wu screamed, obviously he didn't expect this to happen.

Xiao Zirong was dumbfounded and calculated at the same time, thinking that this time Yang Wu... probably really won't survive.

That stone looks heavy.

Sure enough, after Yang Wu screamed, blood gradually gushed out of his mouth, before he had time to say anything, he just stared at Xiao Zirong bitterly, and swallowed his breath after a while.

Liu Cainiang sneered: "Do you think you are the only one born with infinite strength?"

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Lu Liu, and found that Lu Liu was still very silent, and there was no discomfort in the face after hitting the man, and he quietly returned behind him.

He was a little Alexander for a moment.

In fact, he just said that beating to death is more of a threat, let Yang Wu know that he is not afraid of killing people at all, don't think he will throw a mouse trick.

In the end, who would have thought that Lu Liu would take it so seriously.

Liu Cainiang turned her head and looked at Xiao Zirong's dull face, and secretly groaned inwardly. She and Lu Liu were both too angry just now, so they never thought about letting Yang Wu go back alive.

With the two of them, it doesn't matter whether Yang Wu calls her ugly or looks down on them, anyway, they have let go now, and now they can be regarded as having food, clothing, and housing to cover their heads. I never thought of such a life before. .

So they have never forgotten who brought them such a day. Seeing that Yang Wu actually had Xiao Zirong's idea, just by his eyes, he knew that the so-called shortcut is not a good thing, and there is a high probability that he wants to take their family away. The city lord went to be a child prostitute.

Yang Wu's behavior made Liu Cainiang more angry than anything else, so she just gave Lu Liu a wink and asked her to kill Yang Wu directly.

In fact, even if she didn't imply that Lu Liu didn't want Yang Wu to live.

But now, they seem to have frightened their little city owner.

Lu Liu seemed to want to say something, but she was always relatively silent, and she racked her brains and couldn't think of anything to comfort Xiao Zirong, so she looked at Liu Cainiang for help.

Liu Cainiang also felt a little tricky, and thought in her heart that if it was impossible, she would ask Lu Liu not to appear in front of their little city lords in the future.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiao Zirong turn her head to look at Lu Liu and asked, "Why are you so powerful that you were bullied by robbers before?"

This shouldn't be, even if Lu Liu with two fists is no match for four hands, it's fine if he wants to run out.

Liu Cainiang carefully observed Xiao Zirong's expression, and found that there was no fear on his face, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Lu Liu has a younger sister..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zirong nodded and said, "I see."

If it weren't for doubts in his heart, he wouldn't have asked about the previous things. After all, when he left the bandit village and settled here, Xiao Zirong had already told everyone that the previous things had passed, and it was inappropriate for him to mention it again.

Xiao Zirong took another look at Yang Wu who was crushed to death by the stone, turned around and said, "Let's go, it's getting late."

If he wasn't in a hurry, Xiao Zirong would definitely ask Liu Cainiang and Lu Liu to clean up the murder scene, and he didn't need to do anything else, just bury Yang Wu's body casually and cover up the place where there was blood.

The location they are currently in is relatively remote, Xiao Zirong and the others have never seen anyone except them, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Even if they are discovered in the future, they probably won't be found. These days, the methods of solving crimes are not so strong.

If you don't deal with Yang Wu, you have to deal with their traces. Xiao Zirong directly tied a few dead branches to the back of the mule cart in order to destroy the traces left by the mule cart.

Because they witnessed Lu Liu's infinite power and killed a strong man with a snap, the little ladies looked even more frightened. Although Lu Liu succeeded by taking advantage of his unpreparedness, such force The value is already very strong among ordinary people, and these little ladies began to wonder if they would be dealt with like this if they did not do well?

Although he knew that the future would be difficult when he was sold, who would want to die if he could live?

Bai Qiniang was different from the others, maybe because of Yang Wu's death, there was a little anger in her eyes.

Xiao Zirong could see that those little ladies were a little afraid of him, so she didn't say anything, anyway, after a while after returning to the station, they won't be like this.

It's a pity that no matter how fast they walked, they still couldn't get back to the station before it was completely dark, and they had overlooked one thing before--where an empty car is easy to go, a full car may not be easy to go.

In the end, there was no other way, Xiao Zirong decided to sleep outside for a night. Fortunately, they bought some dry food when they left the county town, and it didn't matter if they just made ends meet.

At night, everyone gathered in front of the bonfire, because they couldn't sleep outside, so Liu Cainiang talked to everyone, and when she was talking, she found that Xiao Zirong had disappeared, and she couldn't help being surprised: "Where is Mr. Lang?"

Her sound startled everyone, the little ladies looked around but did not find Xiao Zirong's figure, they started calling for someone in a panic, preparing to look around while shouting.

Fortunately, Xiao Zirong heard their voices and said quickly: "Don't shout, don't shout, if you shout again, you will attract wolves, and I am here."

Liu Cainiang followed the voice and saw Xiao Zirong walking over with a torch.

She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did the city lord go just now? It's not easy to walk around in such a dark day."

What Xiao Zirong said just now will attract wolves is really not nonsense, there are indeed wolves in this forest, and when he was stationed, he would occasionally hear wolves howling at night.

But probably because there was no shortage of food, they had never seen a wolf.

Xiao Zirong sat down and said, "I went to find something."

Only then did Liu Cainiang see that Xiao Zirong was carrying a bunch of weed-like things in his hands and couldn't help asking: "What is this?"

Xiao Zirong said casually: "Bai Maogen."

Liu Cainiang knew about this stuff, it was a relatively common traditional Chinese medicine, and when she had a fever in the village, she would often use it to boil water and drink it.

The effect is not very good, but at that time, no one cared about their life and death, it would be good to have the coriander root.

Thinking of this, Liu Cainiang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lang, are you sick?"

Xiao Zirong shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry."

As he spoke, he passed a dry twig over the fire, and then threw the coriander root in his mouth to chew.

The Chinese medicine with an earthy smell made people want to spit it out every minute, but he still endured it forcefully.

Xiao Zirong took off his shoes and socks while chewing the coriander root. Liu Cainiang gasped when she saw that Xiao Zirong's soles were full of blisters, some of which were broken, and the socks were covered with stains. blood.

Liu Cainiang immediately got up to go, Xiao Zirong waved her hand at her, washed the soles of her feet with water and observed, and after picking up the unbroken blisters with a twig, she stuck all the coriander roots in her mouth to the soles of her feet.

Xiao Zirong originally thought it would be very painful, but he didn't know if it was numb to the pain or not. After the medicine was applied, it brought a bit of cooling to the burning and painful soles of the feet because of the juice, which was better than before.

After finishing his right foot, he treated his left foot again, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Cainiang wiping tears over there.

Xiao Zirong suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing? It's just some blisters."

Liu Cainiang said very sadly: "Why didn't Mr. Lang tell you earlier? We have a car."

Xiao Zirong immediately said: "We only have a few mules in total, we can't squeeze too much, what if something happens?"

Liu Cainiang pursed her lips and said nothing, but Xiao Zirong was very open-minded: "It will be like this sooner or later, we will always go to the city in the future, and when calluses grow on the soles of our feet, we won't be like this in the future. It's okay, don't cry. It's not a big deal."

He acted relaxed, but Liu Cainiang and Lu Liu still looked very sad.

Xiao Zirong didn't say anything at all, in fact, he was far less relaxed than he showed.

There are wounds in these years, once infected, there are basically two ways, either survive the death, or wait to die.

Now Xiao Zirong's wound is still on the bottom of his feet, the place where bacteria are most likely to breed. It would be fine if he got some disinfection and pain relief in later generations, but now... his only way is to get some coriander root and apply it, and then pray.

Fortunately, it's not hard to find the Imperata Rhizoma Imperatae, which is widely distributed, and Imperata Imperatae itself has some bactericidal and hemostatic effects, and the rest depends on luck.

Xiao Zirong washed the socks again, put some coriander roots on them, and tried not to let the wound on the feet come into contact with the socks again.

I don’t know if it’s because the Imperata root is working or Xiao Zirong’s physique is better. When he got up the next morning, he found that the blisters on the soles of his feet had stopped bleeding a lot. It still hurts to walk, but bearable.

After he finished tossing, Xiao Zirong looked up and found that there were a lot less things in their car, and he couldn't help but immediately became vigilant: "What's going on? Where are the things?"
