Tang Zhao and Sui Feng were shocked and angry, and Tang Zhao was still full of shock. Sui Feng looked at the big men on the ground, took Tang Zhao back, and said, "Are you kidding?! What are you... doing?"
He glanced at the chains on the children and thought: Is it kidnapping by thieves? This time I was careless. There are so many people, why don’t you chop us into pieces with one knife each?
The fat man seemed to have read through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Look, this kid thinks you are bandits."
Everyone roared with laughter, and someone stood up and said: "Open your eyes and take a look. This is Mr. Bao from the dental shop, a serious official. I ask you for your own good. Looking at your poor appearance, I must be I’ve had my last meal but not the next one, so why not sell this doll to Mr. Bao so that both of us can have enough to eat.”
Only then did Tang Zhao realize that it was Ren Yazi.
He looked at the group of children who looked like puppets, and a sentence passed through his mind:
Car and boat shop, legs and teeth, they deserve to be killed even if they are not guilty!
Sui Feng was somewhat relieved to hear that it was not a thief. After all, official teeth are legal teeth, even for those who buy and sell people.
He bowed first and said: "I've met the master. We...the master and the servant are passing by here and want to have a rest. I didn't expect that this place belongs to you. Let's leave now."
He bit the "master and servant" a little harder, and Master Bao naturally understood what he meant. He squinted and said, "What, is this kid a young master? So you can't sell him. Okay, this kid, you yourself Are you willing to buy it for me?"
Tang Zhao found it unbelievable and said, "How could I sell it to you?"
Mr. Bao laughed and said, "Looking at your appearance, you have just been in despair for a few days, right?"
Tang Zhao was speechless for a moment.
Mr. Bao said: "I've seen people like you a lot. Every time a sinister disaster happened, so many families were ruined, and no young master or young lady could be taken seriously. You haven't been poor for a few days now, and you can still afford a simple meal. Naturally, you still have a lot of money. You are noble. But, when you can't even drink soup in a few days, you will know that having food to eat is better than anything else."
He casually grabbed a skinny little girl from behind and said, "Look at this girl, she's so skinny, she doesn't necessarily have a worse background than you."
The girl was about eight or nine years old, with a sallow complexion and thin skin. She only wore a thin layer of clothing and a felt hat on her head, which covered most of her hair, leaving only a bunch of unkempt black hair on the back of her head. Her body trembled into a ball, and the chains under her feet rattled.
The fat man opened the girl's mouth with his hands, twisted her teeth like picking animals, and said: "The teeth are leftover bones, and the hair is leftover blood. Look at this good hair, it's worth a few taels of silver if cut off and sold alone." Look at the fine teeth of this glutinous rice mouth, which are white and neat. Didn't a person who grew up eating fine grains have such teeth? Although she is thin, her bones are not crooked, and she is a beautiful woman after being fed for two days. Just such a girl, just The price of a bag of noodles.”
Tang Zhao stared at his finger with the jade ring, poking the girl's face and neck, as if the girl was poking his own throat.
The fat man smiled and said: "But I know the price is too high. The person who sold her was not a member of her family. I don't know that the strong man on the road snatched her and sold her. It was a business without capital, and he made a profit from a handful of rice." Who told me that I have a good heart? I only paid for a bag of noodles, so I sent this girl to the door of the house. If she stutters, she will live a life. Don't think she is afraid of me now. When she figures it out, she will give me more I kowtow to say thank you."
Tang Zhao said nothing, just stared at his hands.
"Actually, she is lucky if she meets me. The master is an official, and he comes from a high-ranking family. They are all good people who are not short of food and clothing and are not afraid of disasters. If you go in, you will have food to eat. For someone like her, how can she still be lucky? Someone like you, who is born well and is sensible, might have a future. Especially if you are a boy, if you meet a family that has no heirs, you might be able to change your life and become a young master again. You will never know what will happen to you in the future. If it ends up somewhere and is sold to your servants, you don’t know if I am as kind as I am.”
Sui Feng heard that he was involved in him, suppressed his anger, went up and saluted and said: "Master, this is your place. We are not worthy to stand here anymore. Let's say goodbye." After that, he grabbed Tang Zhao and left.
Then Master Bao suddenly said: "Wait a minute - boy, why are you always looking at my hands?"
Tang Zhao's expression was originally full of anger, sadness, forbearance, and entanglement, but at some point, it turned into confusion.
He had been staring at the fat man's hands before, but he couldn't bear to look at the girl's face and looked at random things to distract his attention. The fat man's hands were short and thick, and they were constantly moving around, so naturally they were easy to see. What's more, her hands were full of dazzling jewelry rings and jade rings, which made people dizzy.
Gradually, his attention focused on the jade ring.
The jade is of course good jade, white with green in it, crystal clear and moist, especially clear under the light.
But there was a deep crack on such a precious jade finger.
Just like the cracks in the lock of his longevity.
But it's the same crack, but this crack is much more beautiful. It's not straight, but curved and turned back, connected end to end, forming a loop shape.
It was definitely not a carving, because it cracked into the jade, revealing the cross section of the jade.
Tang Zhao didn't know why he could see clearly.
In fact, he has bad eyesight. Reading since childhood has gradually made it difficult for him to use his eyesight. It is not easy for him to distinguish colors at this distance, but he can see clearly. He can even see the route of the pattern clearly and see the inside of the jade crack. Wall texture.
After another look, his eyes were dim for a moment, and suddenly a large shadow jumped out from his eyes, as if it was about to hit his face.
He took a step back almost instinctively. At this moment, he heard the fat man ask: "Boy, why are you always looking at my hands?"
Tang Zhao was shocked and said: "What?"
The fat man said word by word: "Do you think the ring on my hand looks good?"
Tang Zhao was stunned and said, "There's nothing interesting to see."
The fat man said: "Does it look like it's cracked? It's not top quality?"
Tang Zhao turned his head sideways and said, "I didn't see anything. Your Excellency misunderstood."
Sui Feng saw the other party's expression change, and felt worried, so he pulled Tang Zhao back.
The fat man stood up and shouted: "Stop, what did you say you saw?"
Sui Feng stopped talking, grabbed Tang Zhao and ran away.
The fat man shouted: "Chase me."
The men around him were all hired by him. They were laughing and joking as they watched the fat man playing with the children. They felt that Master Bao had no intention of robbing him, so they had nothing to do with him and others. Unexpectedly, his boss suddenly turned against him and got up quickly. Unfortunately, the room was small, and they crowded around the stove to eat and drink. Their movements were uneven and slow for a while.
The fat man didn't wait for them to get up, and rushed to the door in a few steps, waving his thumb.
Suddenly, a large black shadow surged out, starting from his hand and splashing out, one after another, like ghosts passing through in the dark night.
That's a flock of crows!
Pulling-
The sound of flapping wings was like raindrops, and the crowd of crows was extremely fast, sweeping out like a flood.
If you look carefully, the outlines of the crows are blurred, and their edges almost gradually blend into the night. They seem to be just a group of shadows, but the shadows rub against the night sky and still make a harsh sound of flapping wings.
While Tang Zhao was running, he heard something change behind him. When he turned around, he saw the overwhelming shadow of crows.
Sui Feng turned around, where had he seen such a scene? The eyes of countless crows glowed red in the night, and the stars were so densely packed that he almost frightened him out of his wits.
Tang Zhao's mind went blank for a moment.
In the flash of lightning, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he opened the longevity lock in his hand, and the crack was facing the opposite side!
White light flashed——
boom--
A crow swooped and sprinted, hit an invisible wall in mid-air, made a loud noise, shook its body, and disappeared into black smoke.
Immediately afterwards, there was an endless crackling sound, and countless crows hit the wall, making a sharp sound like hail falling to the ground. The crows exploded one after another, turning into thick black smoke, and gradually connected into one, like a ball in the dark night. Dark clouds blocked all sight.
When the big men chasing after them came out and saw such a situation, they were all stunned. How could they dare to get closer?
After a while, the dark clouds dispersed, and everyone could gradually see clearly.
The deserted village was completely empty, not to mention any people, not even the parked donkey cart.
Several big men looked at each other and asked, "Master Bao, do you want to pursue me?"
Mr. Bao looked confused, feeling pity and fear at the same time, and sighed: "What are you chasing? What if you catch up? I didn't expect that I would miss him. He is really a young master of a big family. Even if he is temporarily down, he has his own protection." There may be some hidden treasure in this treasure that I can’t touch. Forget it, it’s a pity that it’s a thousand taels of silver.”
The big men were surprised and said: "He has a thousand taels of silver on him? You can't tell. Is it gold? This guy can run very fast with several kilograms of gold."
Mr. Bao hummed: "Who said he has one thousand taels of silver? I mean, he is worth one thousand taels of silver."
Seeing that all the big men looked disbelieving, Mr. Bao said: "Human beings are different. In this world, even immortals are not valuable anymore. We work hard and take risks to lead people from the Fire Demon's Cave and deliver them all the way." Why are you here? It's not just to attract the attention of noble people. One person is worth ten taels and can earn dozens of taels. But some people are born to be worth so much, and they will become more and more valuable in the future. A thousand taels of silver is too little. "
"It's a pity. I shouldn't earn this money after all. Let's go back."
