Luyin is a good thing, it can stop people like Tie Shu who want to wander around.
And road guides are not a good thing. Every time the convoy crosses a county or enters a city, it must be carefully searched by officers and soldiers.
Soon everyone discovered that they were too young.
Not long after, Tieshu appeared behind the convoy again without anyone noticing, and followed quickly and slowly.
Obviously, the only people that Lu Yin can stop are those honest and honest people.
"It's time to gamble, it's time to gamble. We are a ten-year-old banker with good reputation..."
cough.
Lei Er coughed.
"The second young master of the Lei family is playing banker for the first time. Brothers, please place your bets."
"Let's bet on how many counties this iron tree can follow the convoy. One county, two for one; two counties, one for one; three counties, one for three; four or more, one for ten."
Then……
Lei Er almost lost his pants.
"How come this bastard hasn't starved to death yet? How long will he follow us?" He said angrily, "Old Ren, let's report to the official in the next city."
Reporting to the official was impossible.
Gu Fugui was so soft-hearted that even the bandits in King Kong Village wanted to take him in. After passing the fourth county, he took a few pairs of cloth shoes and chatted with Tieshu, who had worn out his feet. After finding out the other person's life experience, he decisively accepted him.
So Tieshu became a coachman for the Nagu family's caravan, but he only provided food and no wages.
"As long as you have something to eat. As long as you have something to eat." This guy agreed happily without caring.
The further east you go, the more small towns there are.
Some small towns can be traveled around, but some must be passed through.
Laigu County has beautiful mountains and green waters, but Ren Ning's mood is not very beautiful.
He always felt as if the convoy had not gone very long before it was stopped by people from all walks of life, who kept searching here and there.
Check directions, check prohibited items, check wanted...
No wonder even the barefoot Tieshu can catch up.
On this day, after finally entering the city, Ren Ning frowned even more.
Most of the small street was occupied by various stalls, and the convoy could only move forward cautiously little by little.
Extremely bored, he looked around.
In addition to selling some prey, crops and small handicrafts at the stalls in the street, there are also many children with grass stuck in their heads.
Some people are selling their sons and daughters!
"So many..." Lei Er was speechless when he saw it.
There were not just one or two people selling children, but a whole row of them, almost from the west to the east of the city. It seems to sell more than others.
Ren Ning squinted and looked over.
There is a light yellow in front of my eyes. The gold finger shows that the value for both adults and children is between 15 and 30.
Obviously these are not people who specialize in human trafficking, but a group of parents and children who are extremely hungry.
Seeing the long caravan approaching, some parents rushed over despite being injured by carriages or horses.
"To all the kind-hearted people passing by, we kowtow to you. Please buy my child."
"They are healthy, smart, and know how to endure hardships at a young age. After you finish eating, just give them a little bit of leftover food. As long as you can raise them, you will be their reborn parents. What do you want them to do? They do whatever they want.”
"As long as they can survive, we and I will work as cows and horses in our next lives and we will repay everyone for your kindness."
When the female relatives of the fortress heard the commotion, they all lowered their car curtains and looked outside, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Although the convoy was slow, it kept moving forward, and finally walked out of this suffocating town after less than half an hour.
The moment they walked out of the city gate, there was a desperate cry from behind.
Ren Ning tugged on his collar.
Although he knew that selling sons and daughters was common in ancient times, when he really saw it, he was still a little upset.
Look left and right.
It is already spring plowing season. Farmers are busy in the paddy fields on both sides of the post road and in the terraced fields cultivated on the hillside.
Everything looked similar to the countryside in his previous life, but the scene behind him was really difficult for him to understand.
The convoy walked for a while.
There was a dirty child squatting on the roadside of the inn in front, shouting feebly: "You are selling fish, you are selling live fish, you are selling live fish for free."
There was a commotion among the crowd.
Along the way, the caravan was killing sheep or eating beef jerky, and had long since become tired of it.
Not long ago, they met a caravan heading to Xiliang and exchanged some seafood.
All kinds of dried fish were transported thousands of miles away. They were bitter, sour and not delicious at all, but everyone still ate them with gusto.
At this time, when they heard that someone was selling live fish, many people couldn't help but stick their heads out.
The child in front of me is about seven or eight years old, skinny as a stick.
Beside him was a basket plastered with mud leaves. There was half a basket of muddy water inside, and several white fish were floating in the water one by one.
Everyone is interested in the fish that asks for money.
Free live fish...
Everyone subconsciously thought of the Luoxia Mountains and retracted their heads in unison.
Lei Er has always been desperate for his life. He dropped the bone in his mouth and rode over with a clatter of horse.
He got off his horse and reached out to stir up the fish in the water.
Wow.
The fish was alive and wild. When frightened, it flicked its tail and splashed half of his body with water.
Lei Er laughed, he was very satisfied.
"Hey kid. Is there something wrong with your fish? Why don't you want any money?"
Ren Ning followed silently.
This place is not very far from the previous small town, but the winding post road has long been invisible. However, there are many people in the city who are so hungry that they are selling their sons and daughters, but here there are people selling free fish.
He couldn't help but feel confused and confused.
"Brother, there is nothing wrong with my fish. It was just caught from the creek not long ago." The child wiped his face and forced out a flattering smile, "You have so many cars, it must be a big caravan. Sir It is said that all large caravans have doctors."
"My sister is sick. As long as the doctor in the caravan takes a look at her illness, I will give the fish to you."
Ren Ning and Lei Er looked at each other in shock.
"Why don't you just take the fish to the county, sell it, and use the money to pay your sister a doctor?"
Getting sick can't wait. There are quite a few caravans passing by, but sometimes it’s normal to not see one for ten days and a half.
"This..." the little boy hesitated.
He looked at Ren Ning and Ren Ning for a long time, and then he spoke with a heart.
"Last year, a steward came to the county and said that the emperor had given the mountains and rivers around here to their master's family. Anyone who dares to go fishing in the water and go up the mountain to chop firewood will be arrested and beaten to death by the county boss."
"Many people didn't believe it before, but then they all went to jail or died."
"If I take the fish into the city to sell, I won't be able to escape. I'm not afraid of going to jail, but my sister is still young and sick. So I can't go into the city."
Ren Ning and Radar looked at each other and were silent for a while.
"Two kind-hearted brothers, do you want fish?" The little boy stared at the two of them nervously, "My sister just caught a cold in the rain at night, and she can be cured with just a little herbal medicine."
Ren Ning stood up, "Where is she? I'll ask the team doctor to take a look."
The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
Bang bang bang.
He kowtowed a few times quickly before pointing to a tree on the side of the road, "It's under that tree. The sun is a little bright now, so I put her there."
Ren Ning nodded and walked over quickly.
As expected, there was a little girl with a blushing face nestled under the tree. The body is slender and looks like it is not much bigger than a dog.
Reaching out and touching his forehead, Ren Ning's heart skipped a beat.
Without saying a word, he quickly carried the little girl on Zhui Feng and rushed towards the Gu family's caravan in front.
