Stingy Husband Farming

Along the way, Shen Mu still pretended to be a man, it was more convenient to do things this way, and others would not dare to make trouble.Although there is an escort agency as a guarantee, after experiencing the experience in the county seat, Shen Mu really doesn't dare to have too much hope for human nature.

As soon as he set off, Shen Mu felt a little regretful.For the sake of safety, he gritted his teeth and spent an extra five taels of silver, and took a car with Liu alone, and then found that none of the other people chartered a car alone, and they all sat together.

The only one who doesn't sit with them, the mysterious Shen Mu, will inevitably become their talking point.

It’s fine if a large family hires a carriage, but if only two people hire a carriage...

What's a hire a carriage, don't you see?They even have a dog with them!

Yes, yes, I took my dog ​​with me when I was fleeing. This is the first time I saw you...

Shen Mu: ... careless.

But things have come to this point, there is no other way.I can't go back at this time and sit with everyone, right?Escorts can't refund the money either?

Besides, they did bring Ah Huang with them, so it was more convenient to take a car alone.

In this way, every time Shen Mu and Liu Shi got out of the car when they were taking a break, people would look at them curiously, making the two of them extremely uncomfortable.He didn't even want to get out of the car.In this way, it seems even more mysterious.

The convoy did not move fast, and traveled during the day, rested at the inn at night, or stayed overnight at the post station, and stopped before dark. Although the journey was slow, it was indeed safe.After all, the entire state capital has become chaotic. If you drive at night, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter robbers.It is better to be cautious than to take chances.

After walking like this for three days, they left the boundary of Fengshui County.

In the past three days, although he hadn't had much contact with other people, Shen Mu also roughly knew who those people were traveling with.Counting him and the Liu family, there are ten families in total, three of them are traveling alone, two are men, and one is an old lady.

After all, when resting, everyone gathered together to eat dry food for safety.Some words will slip into your ears if you don't ask for them deliberately.

These ten families are all simple in population, mostly a couple with one or two children.This Escort is also interesting to say, it does not simply charge by head, but treats them differently.Men charge less, while women and children charge more.And that old lady was charged ten taels of silver by herself.

But the old lady was wearing nice cloth and a silver hairpin on her head. Although there was only one person, she looked very rich.

According to the Escort Bureau, if there is any danger, it is much more difficult to protect women, children, old and young than men, so the charges are more expensive.Fortunately, the old lady herself is not dissatisfied. It seems that she is also a wealthy family, and her son is doing business abroad.She is looking for her son, not short of money.

Probably because she paid a lot of money, the head of the bodyguard took good care of her along the way, and she also shared a table with the people from the bodyguard bureau for meals.

Shen Mu felt a little guilty, after all he was a fake guy, if the escort found out that he was a little brother, he would probably have to ask him to pay more.

Although he thinks he is a little brother whose strength value is not worse than that of a man, the eyes of the world are always biased, and there is nothing to do about it.

Of course, not everyone went to Xing'an County, there is no such a coincidence.There are many people who will leave the convoy just to get out of the state capital.After all, only Yuhu Prefecture was in chaos, and the other prefectures that were not affected by the disaster were still peaceful.In this way, the price is naturally much cheaper than going to Xing'an County. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

In the evening, it was time to lodge again.I didn't arrive at the station that day, so I rested in an inn.

This escort agency is enclosed, but they live in Datongpu, where men and women are separated.But in Shen Mu's situation, it is obvious that he cannot live in Tongpu, and he has a dog with him.Then I discussed with the head of the bodyguard, and I added some money to ask for a lower-class room.

Mrs. Liu lived on the bed in the inner room, and Shen Mu slept on the small bed outside for night watch.The outside room is small, so Ah Huang slept with Mrs. Liu in the inner room, lying on the footrest in front of Mrs. Liu's bed.

Even though it's just an inferior room, it costs 120 yuan!Compared with the Datong shop, which costs more than a dozen yuan, it is more than a little bit more expensive.

The people in the same company looked at Shen Mu and Liu's eyes even more differently.

Shen Mu also felt sorry for money.He only felt that the money he spent on this journey was more than he spent in the first half of his life.But what can be done?Who made him a little brother to hide his identity?

Mrs. Liu also persuaded him that if the poor family is rich, it will be better to save it later.

Shen Mu felt distressed, and gradually got used to it.

After they settled their luggage in the room, Shen Mu and Liu Shi went down to the lobby for dinner.Escorts only care about housing and transportation, and they have to solve their own food and clothing.

The pancakes made at home can be eaten with stewed vegetables, and the pancakes can be soaked in the soup of stewed vegetables, which is also a good meal.

In contrast, others have fared worse.Most of them want a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, and dry food brought by themselves.

The smell of stewed vegetables wafted through the entire dining room, even if Shen Mu and Mrs. Liu were sitting in the corner, they couldn't reduce their sense of presence.

At this time, Shen Mu suddenly saw a daughter-in-law of a family, taking her two daughters, going to the old woman's side.

Shen Mu has an impression of this family. The entire motorcade belongs to their family members.A man and a woman with four children.Three girls and a boy.The children are not very old, the two older girls are seven or eight years old, and the two younger ones are only four or five years old.But these children are very well-behaved, and they have never heard them cry along the way.

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Shen Mu had secretly thought about it before, with so many people and so many children, he didn't know how much it would cost to enter this team.

The woman of this family brought two seven or eight-year-old girls to the old grandmother. The woman gave her a wink, and the two girls knelt down at the grandmother with a "plop".

For a while, everyone in the dining room stopped their chopsticks and looked lively.

It turned out that the woman wanted to sell her daughter to the old lady to be a maid: "Grandma, look, both of them are quick and able to work, and I have educated them for a few years. You are old, and it is safe to travel alone." It's a lot of inconvenience, isn't it just right to stay and serve you? There can also be someone to take care of you."

Everyone else was watching the excitement and waiting to see how the old woman would respond, but Mrs. Liu was the only one who was holding the chopsticks tightly as she listened to the woman's words.

"Mother?" Shen Mu found out that Mrs. Liu was abnormal, and looked at her suspiciously.

Mrs. Liu shook her head, indicating that she was fine, stopped watching the excitement, and went back to eating.

She just remembered when she was a child.She already understood at this moment that this woman was not the mother of the two girls at all, but a "foster mother".

To put it bluntly, it is human teeth.Buy young children to raise for a few years and teach them how to be servants.When they grow up, they can be taken out and sold.

She was brought up by her "adoptive mother" back then, and then sold into her master's house as a maid.She was lucky, the master's family was generous, and later she fell in love with Boss Shen, and the master also generously removed her from slavery, and even gave her a dowry.

But many people don't have such good luck...

"No need." The old woman frowned as she glanced at the woman and the two girls.She is also living a good life, instead of drinking porridge with pickles, she ordered a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and a small dish of dim sum.No wonder he was targeted by this man.This is clearly telling others that she is rich!

As expected, the woman did not give up, she kicked the two girls lightly, and the girls stood up winkingly, and went to the old woman to serve her dinner. "Grandma, don't rush to refuse, look at my two daughters, they are the most caring and considerate."

"If I have someone to serve me, I have a few maids in my family. Is it better to take them with you on the road than to sell them now?" The old woman pushed the girls away with a wave of her hand. "I have enough money to buy new maids when I arrive in Xing'an County. I'll keep them on the way? Go away."

As soon as the granny spoke, the people in the bodyguard bureau who sat at the same table with her immediately lowered their faces and scolded the woman: "Our bodyguard bureau is for escorting people, not for your convenience. Do business. Business, get out of our Escort Bureau and find a place to do it yourself!"

That's right, most people are like this granny, they don't regard maids as human beings, they just throw them away if they want to, and just buy them when needed... Mrs. Liu has tried her best not to look at them, but those thoughts are persistent Drill into her brain.

After being scolded by the old woman for "Get out of here", and several big men yelled viciously, the woman's face froze and she gritted her teeth. , waved to the two daughters.The two girls quickly retreated behind her.The woman curled her lips, rolled her eyes, turned around and walked towards Shen Mu's table.

Although this family is mysterious, they seem to be easy to talk to.An old woman and a man, the old woman seems to be soft-tempered, and the man is also gentle and gentle.

Moreover, this family fled with a dog, which shows that they are soft-hearted and affectionate.

Shen Mu suddenly felt as if he was facing an enemy.

Because of his neighbors in the county, he is now the most annoying and most afraid of meeting such a person.I can't afford to get entangled with them!

"I'm sorry, we don't need it either!" Without waiting for the woman to approach, Shen Mu spoke quickly.

The smile that had just hung on the woman's face froze again.

Liu raised her head and glanced at the two girls.

Their expressions were numb, and they did not look forward to being bought, or looked afraid of being bought.

What was it like back then?Liu can no longer remember.

"How much... how much?" Mouth precedes brain, and by the time Liu realized it, she had already asked.

The woman burst out with a look of surprise: "It's not expensive, it only costs 20 taels of silver. Look, he looks so upright, and he can serve your son when he grows up!" The woman gave Shen Mu an ambiguous look.

Shen Mu: ...

Is it so troublesome to be a man?Why have people been trying to trick him since he pretended to be a man?When he was a little brother, there were not so many people who thought of him! @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Mother, we are on our way now, we can't bring any burdens. If you want someone to take care of you, we can buy it in Xing'an County like that grandma." Shen Mu persuaded in a low voice.Although he didn't quite understand why Mrs. Liu suddenly wanted a maid, but now is really not a good time to buy a maid.

...Besides, he thought about buying a husband before, and he also learned about the price in the market.A maid is 20 taels, are you trying to steal money?

Mrs. Liu also understood that she didn't really want to buy it, but she just asked too much when she thought of her childhood.When she heard 20 taels, she knew that this woman was killing someone.Now is the year of calamity, the cheapest thing is human life.Even in Taiping years, ten taels of silver would be enough for a maid like this.

When the woman saw that Mrs. Liu asked the price, Shen Mu couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she opened her mouth and said nothing: "Little brother, your mother refuses to buy a servant girl even if she wants to serve you. Why are you so reluctant?" Filial piety?"

Shen Mu's head hurts, he is afraid of these middle-aged women now, how can they be more crooked than each other.

Mrs. Liu was embarrassed. It was her who made the awkward situation: "That's not the case. Big sister, I'll just ask casually. Besides, your daughter's price is too expensive, we can't afford it."

Seeing that the woman was still talking, Shen Mu rushed ahead and resorted to his usual tricks: "It's not that I don't buy a maid for my mother, it's because I don't like your daughter and put it at home as an eyesore. When I arrive in Xing'an County, I will buy a maid for my mother. Buy two beautiful waiters, but also report to you? If you call me unfilial, I will not buy it."

Liu patted Shen Mu.Although this trick is easy to use, it also draws too much hatred.

Besides... this woman is nothing more than that, Mrs. Liu sympathizes with these two little girls.It is also because of them that I think of myself.

It was already pitiful enough, but being picked and picked by the guests made her feel so uncomfortable, she had experienced it before.

The woman was first told by the old woman to "get lost", and then she was robbed of her whiteness by Shen Mu. Her face was flushed purple, and she angrily took the two girls back to her table. The girl slaps a few times.

"Two trash, useless at all!"

The two girls covered their faces, didn't cry, and stood obediently behind the woman.

The woman's husband looked at Shen Mu and then at the old woman with small eyes, then lowered his head and continued eating porridge.

In the evening, Shen Mu fetched hot water and washed up with Liu Shi. "Mother, why do you want to buy a maid today?"

Mrs. Liu wiped her face, and threw the cloth towel into the basin: "No, but you know, I was originally a servant girl. When I saw those two girls, I couldn't help but feel hurt, so I asked casually when I felt uncomfortable. But then I changed my mind. Think about it, how many people like me are there in this world? Can I be saved? It’s all about everyone’s life.”

Shen Mu didn't expect it to be such a reason, but he regretted saying that he "looked down" on those two girls.They are still different from their neighbors in the county.

The neighbors in the county are willing to be concubines, but these two girls have no choice.

But just as Liu said, sympathy is all sympathy, they are not saviors, and these poor people should not come out to save them.

Shen Mu was in a daze thinking about it, he threw the cloth towel into the water and kneaded it twice, only to find that the powder covering the pregnancy mole on his hand had been washed off when he came back to his senses: "Ah!"

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Mrs. Liu glanced at it: "It's okay, just apply it again in the morning."

Shen Mu was unhappy.His pregnancy moles are big and bright red, and they need to be covered with powder, and every time they have to dig a big lump of powder to cover them, so he is very careful when washing, and don't wash it off unless he can.

After all, makeup powder is also very expensive!

Still being the savior and buying a maid, even buying a box of makeup by myself feels distressed.

…………

Song Bai drove the carriage, took his parents and a group of servants to Fengshui County, but when they reached the border of Yuhu Prefecture, they were stopped.

"What are you doing in Yuhu Prefecture?" The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the group of people puzzled.In the past half a month, only people from Yuhu Prefecture have fled to other places. How can anyone go to Yuhu Prefecture with large and small bags?Is it because you are afraid of not being robbed?

Song Bai was also very surprised when he was stopped.He was normal when he returned to Xing'an County. "My family grew up in Fengshui County, and I came back to Xing'an County to visit relatives."

Mr. and Mrs. Song muttered in the carriage: "Look, we've all become 'visiting relatives'. It's too late to stay."

Song Bai keenly noticed something was wrong: "My lord, has something happened in Yuhu Prefecture?"

"You don't know yet. It has been raining heavily in Yuhu Prefecture for more than 20 days. The dykes on the east side of the sea were washed away by the flood, and many places were affected. Now the refugees are rioting, and the territory of Yuhu Prefecture is in chaos. Refugees are also coming from the east to the west. If our lord is not wise, those refugees will have entered our territory of Yuxiu Prefecture. With so much luggage, you may be arrested if you don’t reach Fengshui County. It's all gone." The officer and soldier looked at Song Bai and his party.A dozen or so servants are quite a lot, but they also carry a lot of things, so they may not be able to take care of the victims if they encounter disasters.

Song Bai's heart sank: "Did the dam near the sea be washed away by the flood?"

"More than that? I heard that in some villages near the mountain, the mountain was washed away by the flood, and the whole village was buried." The officers and soldiers saw that Song Bai's face turned pale, and they felt a little sympathetic to him. "If you really want to go back, I won't stop you, but don't bring these things with you, you can't keep them."

Song Bai forced himself to clear his head, thanked the soldiers guarding the city gate, and returned to the carriage to tell Mr. Song and his wife about the matter.

The two of them also listened to it in the carriage, and felt a little uncomfortable at the moment.Especially Xue Bai. Thinking about it, he coaxed his son back by pretending to be sick. The son's husband was alone, and he brought a really sick old lady with him. It's hard to live with a sick old lady.

"Father, Ah Mu, I want to go back first." Song Bai said: "I... I can't wait for a moment. It's chaotic over there, so don't go there, find an inn to live here, I will go back by myself, and take Xiaomu Take it out with your mother."

"How can you do it alone? You take all these servants with you, and your own safety is also important. Our Yuxiu Prefecture is still peaceful, and your mother and I will not be in any danger." Master Song calmly said: "Don't panic , according to what you said, your husband is a smart man, so he will be fine."

Song Bai was still a little worried about his parents.Although it is only Yuhu Prefecture that is in chaos right now, Yuxiu Prefecture and Yuhu Prefecture are next to each other, in case refugees escape...

But even Xue Bai pushed him: "We really don't need people. We have our own way to save our lives. It's not like you don't know. You can take people away." Song Bai: "I won't bring you things, bring more money. Now you must not be stingy, spend money when you have to, life is more important, you know?"

Master Song got out of the car again, talked to a dozen servants about the situation, promised to raise their wages when they came back, and told them to follow the young master wholeheartedly to bring the young husband back.

Although the servants originally sold themselves to their homes, it is much worse to work hard or not.

Song Bai took the banknote with a sullen face and put it in his arms, drove the carriage to a remote place where no one was around, unloaded the horse from the carriage, and rode into Yuhu Prefecture with a dozen servants instead.

Mr. Song and his wife were guarding the six horse-less carriages. Seeing that there was no one around, they waved their hands, and the six carriages disappeared into space out of thin air.

"Let's go, let's find an inn and stay first, and wait for the little monkey to pick up my husband." Master Song walked slowly down the street with his husband in his arms.

"Pfft," Xue Bai couldn't help laughing: "When my husband arrives, don't stop him from calling him a little monkey. My son will be in a hurry with you."

After laughing, he couldn't help worrying: "I don't know if the little monkey can..."

"Don't worry, it's only been a few days since the little monkey came back? Even if you add the time he spent on the road, it will only take more than a month. It's not that fast what can happen in more than a month. At most... just suffer a little bit, I'm sure It's okay." Master Song comforted his husband.

Song Bai originally thought so too.Shen Mu has money in his hands. Although there are many bad people in the village, there are also many good people.With Shen Qingshan protecting him, Shen Mu would suffer a little at most, and there should be no major incidents.

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Although Shen Mu suffers from hardships, he is also very distressed, but as long as his life is alive, no matter how much suffering he suffers, he can make up for him!

He will no longer be stingy, and will definitely spend the most money to live the best life for Shen Mu, as long as he lives well!

The terrain of Shenjiatun is so high that it can't be washed by the flood, and his house is made of green bricks and big tiled houses, so it's very safe. At most, he was bullied by the villagers, and some villagers whose houses were washed away by the rain were stuffed into his house. Things... Along the way, Song Bai kept comforting himself.

It must be just like this, it can't be worse...

But ever since he entered the boundary of Yuhu Prefecture, before reaching Fengshui County, Song Bai's heart sank again and again.

Ragged clothes on the streets, homeless refugees, dilapidated villages... and the further east you go, the worse it gets.

Originally in the west, they were a group of more than a dozen men riding fast horses. They obviously had no luggage, and no one came to rob them.But when they got to the east, someone desperately tried to steal their horses to eat.

Song Bai's palms holding the rein were full of sweat.

Xiaomu, you must be fine!

From Yuxiu Prefecture to Fengshui County, the five-day journey was reduced to three days by Song Bai.

Entering the boundary of Fengshui County, the disaster was even more serious.The victims of the disaster have everything to eat.Song Bai held back the nausea and fear in his heart, did not stop any longer, and hurried to Shenjiatun.Finally arrived, but looking at the village that was mostly submerged by sand, Song Bai was completely dumbfounded...

The servants followed Song Bai to brave the wind and rain for three days, eating and sleeping in the open. At first, they had some complaints in their hearts, but seeing the situation in front of them, no one dared to say anything.

It's more about sympathy.

After all, looking at it like this, the people in this village are probably hopeless.But looking at the face of the boss, no one dared to say a word, not even to persuade.

Song Bai stared at the pile of sand in a daze for a long time before a few hoarse words came out of his throat: "...Dig for me!"

After speaking, he was the first to jump off the horse and threw himself into the pile of sand.
