Li Er and his wife drove the car to the gate of a small courtyard and stopped, and Ni Xi was taken into a room.

This small courtyard is the residence of the husband and wife. Although it is not too big, it is much better than the holed thatched house that Pan's mother lived in. One of the rooms is used to lock up the children bought from various places.

After Ni Xi arrived at the room, Mrs. Li carefully locked the door and went out. She saw that there were already six girls of about the same age in the room. The clothes on all of them were worn out, and all of them had withered faces and dull expressions. , should be from a poor family like Ni Xi.

However, there is a girl who looks good among them. Although she is still young, she has exquisite facial features, tears are shining, and she has a rather touching posture. She is the most eye-catching among the few.

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke. Everyone's immature faces were filled with anxiety.

Ni Xi found a corner and huddled there, closing her eyes and thinking about what to do next.According to the fate of the original owner, she will be selected to be a maid in Zhang Dahu's mansion in a few days, and will be coveted by Zhang Dahu as she grows older.So what about her, should she continue to enter Zhang Dahu's mansion or go somewhere else?

After thinking about it, Ni Xi decided not to make any changes.When she went to other places, she didn't know what kind of people she would meet, but in Zhang Dahu's mansion, she had the memory of the original owner and was already familiar with it. At least she could avoid some things and live better.

Of course, there is another important reason. Both Zhang Dahu and Mrs. Zhang are not good people. Even if she does not enter the Zhang family, someone else will repeat the tragic fate for her. It is better to find a way to punish these two people together. two.

But it's too early to think about this, she is just a nine-year-old girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken, even if she can't use all her abilities, she has to take her time.

Ni Xi sighed heavily, her small face wrinkled tightly.

Suddenly, her stomach gurgled, followed by another gurgle, which was especially obvious in this quiet and silent room.

She went out early in the morning and waited at the entrance of the village, and sat in the ox cart for so long. Until now, it was already afternoon, and she had never even eaten half a grain of rice. She was really hungry.

Ni Xi hurriedly looked around in embarrassment. Fortunately, everyone's expressions were numb, and no one said anything, so they didn't feel so ashamed.

Still, I'm really hungry.

Not knowing when the meal will be served, Ni Xi shrinks back and buries her head between her arms.

"Here you are." It seemed that someone touched her with his hand, and the voice was small.

Ni Xi raised her head to look, and found that it was the most delicate girl, who was looking at her timidly, holding a small dry biscuit in her hand.

"For me?" She was taken aback.

With kindness in her eyes, the girl whispered, "I ate in the morning. I hid it secretly. They brought the food in the evening. You can eat first."

"What about you?" Ni Xi asked.

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." The girl shook her head, and as she spoke, she stuffed the dry biscuits in Ni Xi's arms.

Ni Xi looked at the small dry biscuits and swallowed. She was really hungry and didn't have the willpower to refuse the food in her hand.

"Thank you." Ni Xi sincerely thanked you.

The girl blushed and urged in a low voice: "Eat quickly, it's not good for others to see."

Ni Xi quickly devoured it. Although the biscuits were bulky, they were extremely delicious when she was hungry, making her wish to swallow them whole.

After eating the whole biscuit, Ni Xi didn't feel so hungry anymore.

It also made her want to talk.

"My name is Pan Erya, what about you?" Ni Xi asked the girl.

The girl replied softly, "My name is Bai Yulian."

Ni Xi couldn't help but support her forehead. The comparison between Pan Erya and Bai Yulian really shouldn't be too obvious. Fortunately, the name Erya won't be with her for the rest of her life, otherwise it would really be...

However, Ni Xi was full of gratitude for the first girl who showed kindness to herself.

"Why did you give me the food?" She was a little curious, because this girl had never met him, let alone spoke to him, yet this girl was willing to give her the rations she secretly saved.

"Because I think you are a good person."

The girl's innocent expression made her look even more pitiful with her big watery eyes.

nice guy?

Ni Xi thought of the words those so-called Liangshan heroes scolded her when she destroyed Liangshanbo in the last world, such words as "poisonous woman" and "slut" were countless, and the hatred in their eyes made her want to be skinned alive.

Including when she fought against gold later, she fought bloody all the way, and she lost a lot of lives in her hands.

Is she a good person?

Ni Xi smiled, touched the girl's black hair in front of her, and said nothing.

Three days passed in a flash, and four little girls came to the small room one after another, all of which were bought by Li Er and his wife.

For the past three days, Ni Xi and others were locked up here. There was a bucket in the room, and they ate twice a day. The porridge was as thin as water and a steamed bun was added. Everyone ate and drank in this room every day.

The Li Er couple are really stingy.

When Ni Xi endured it until the fourth day, Mrs. Li called everyone to the courtyard early in the morning, fetched clean water from a washbasin, and asked all the girls to wash up. Although they were still wearing tattered old clothes, everyone looked It's all neatly arranged.

Ni Xi reckoned that the buyer was coming.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Er to bring buyers one after another. As the buyers selected and took them away, the number of girls decreased one by one, and in the end there were only five girls left.

Ni Xi and Bai Yulian remained in the courtyard.

It's not that no one liked them, it's just that after asking Li Er the price, and knowing that a person actually wanted five taels of silver, they retreated one after another. Li Er and his wife were not in a hurry, and introduced other girls to the buyer with a smile.

Seeing that it was almost noon, three of the five girls left. At this moment, only Ni Xi and Bai Yulian had not found a buyer.Li Er went out to look around from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

After half an hour, a middle-aged woman in silk and satin came in from the gate, followed by two little maids, walking in unhurriedly.

"Mother Li, I specially reserved these two girls for you, what do you think?" Second Lady Li greeted her quickly with a smile on her face.

The middle-aged woman known as Li's mother looked arrogant. She looked at Ni Xi and Bai Yulian, and her eyes softened a little.

"It's okay."

After all, she walked around the two of them a few times, observing carefully to see if there were any hidden illnesses on the two of them, her sharp eyes wished to poke a hole in the two of them.

Li Er and his wife held their breath and looked at Li's mother for inspection, until Li's mother asked: "I want both, how much?", Li Er's wife smiled instantly, and flowers could grow on her smiling face.

"Mother Li, to tell you the truth, these two girls were found according to the requirements you gave us at the beginning. It took a lot of effort."

Mother Li said with a smile on her face: "Just tell me, how much is it?"

"Not too much, not too much, seven taels of silver for a girl," Second Lady Li said flatteringly.

"Qiliang?" Li's mother raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, "Did you treat our Zhang family as a charity?"

"Don't dare, how dare the villain husband and wife offend Zhang Dahu?" Li Er hurriedly pulled his wife to apologize.

At the beginning, Li Er and his wife bought her for only half a tael of silver, and now they sold her for more than ten times the price. This couple really knows how to do business.Ni Xi watched coldly as Mama Li bargained with Li Er and his wife. In the end, they were bought by Mama Li at a price of six taels of silver each.

This feeling of being sold as a commodity really made her very uncomfortable.

She must grow up quickly, Ni Xi said to herself in her heart.

"I'm so scared……"

Beside her, Bai Yulian's eyes were anxious, her face was pale, with a sense of helplessness about the future.For some reason, she always felt a sense of security looking at Ni Xi, which made her want to trust and rely on her, so she hugged Ni Xi's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

Ni Xi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.

This mother Li is the steward of the inner house of Zhang Dahu's family. Pan Jinlian was bought in this way in her previous life, and now she is just continuing the original track.

However, there was one thing she was curious about.

In the memory of the original owner, the character Bai Yulian did not appear, let alone bought into Zhang Dahu's mansion together with the original owner. Is the original owner's memory wrong or something changed in this world?

Ni Xi didn't know.

But she didn't bother to think about it.Her most urgent task is to retrieve the martial arts learned in the last world, only when she is strong can she control her own destiny.

She desperately needs time.
