At this moment, Nangong Xue was very embarrassed.
She knew what she was holding.
The root of a man.
But she didn't expect it to be so long.
Nangong Xue immediately took her hand back and explained calmly: "My feet were numb just now, let's go quickly."
Xue Mu:? ? ?
Good guy, why don't you say sorry to it if you catch it?
Xue Mu finally straightened it up before standing up again and followed her.
Now, it's past time.
He regained his sight.
Although I have already been mentally prepared.
But until I saw the scene in front of me with my own eyes.
I'm still shocked.
He has already seen the prosperity of the city.
He didn't expect that there would be no grass growing outside the city.
It was so dark that no one was clean.
Nangong Xue looked back at Xue Mu, who was motionless. Seeing that he seemed to be looking at the scene in front of him, she asked, "Can you see it?"
Xue Mu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I can't see it. I just seem to see some figures in my blurry vision."
"Yes, there are many people, let's go there quickly."
This time, Nangong Xue made sure to catch him.
When Xue Mu realized that she was grabbing his wrist, he also snickered.
Compared with the force just now, this time it was obviously much less vigorous.
Definitely out of guilt.
The two of them were crowded in the crowd.
Soon we came to the front.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the carriage.
He kept shouting: "Stay back! Back away!!"
But there is still a steady stream of refugees coming.
They kept holding up their children and saying, "Official, look at my children."
"My child is handsome."
"Look at my daughter, if she eats well, she will definitely be a beautiful woman."
Nangong Xue looked at these and asked tentatively: "Are they selling children?"
"Um."
Xue Mu nodded: "In order to make their children live a better life, they choose to sell their children to those people."
Nangong Xue wondered: "Then how do they know whether these children will be fine after entering the city? What if they are bullied?"
"Outside the city, you will definitely starve to death if you rely on soup kitchens. But if you go into the city, there is a glimmer of hope. As for whether the children will survive, these parents don't know. They can only depend on their children. good fortune."
At this time, Xue Mu raised his hand: "I don't want money or food! Take me away!"
As soon as these words came out, it caused dissatisfaction among others.
"Why are you like this!"
"Yeah, you don't want food, what should we do?!"
"It doesn't matter if you are alone, don't involve a bunch of us!"
When those refugees faced this kind of thing, they were all extremely vicious.
In this case, they would even beat Xue Mu to death.
After listening to Xue Mu's words, Nangong Xue tugged on his clothes and said, "How can you do this? If you don't want food, then the people on the carriage will deprive the other refugees of food!"
"If you don't say this, you won't be able to attract their attention." Xue Mu reminded in a low voice.
Sure enough, Xue Mu's words made the middle-aged man on the carriage look over.
But when he saw that Xue Mu seemed a bit tall, he frowned and said, "We only want children! Children over ten and under fifteen!"
"My sister and I are good-looking!" Xue Mu said again: "You want both of us. My sister can do housework, and I can also do an abacus!"
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and looked at Xue Mu and Nangong Xue beside him with squinted eyes.
Although they have stains on their faces, they can still vaguely tell that they are beautiful and handsome.
So the middle-aged man looked at the servant behind him and said, "Go, bring them over and wash their faces!"
"Yes, from the shopkeeper!"
With that said, the servant immediately got out of the car.
Seeing this, the refugees swarmed in even more.
But the servants kept pushing: "Go away, go away! Leave me alone!"
"Sir, my child is very obedient. Do you want it?"
"Sir, please, my daughter is very good."
"I beg you."
But the man on the carriage ignored the others at all and just stared at Xue Mu and Nangong Xue.
Not long after, Xue Mu and Nangong Xue were brought over.
"Give them water to wash their faces."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper."
Xue Mu and Nangong Xue were by the carriage, washing their faces with water in the basin.
"Keep your head up."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at them.
Xue Mu raised his head and could clearly see the middle-aged man's face.
His body was bloated, his face was greasy, and his skin was dull and lackluster.
There is also this greasy gold belt on her thick waist.
When he grinned, his teeth were clearly not neat and his breath smelled bad, giving him the appearance of a nouveau riche.
Faced with such a person, Xue Mu felt that if he put on tattered clothes and mingled with the crowd, he might not know who looked more like a refugee.
The middle-aged man looked at Xue Mu and Nangong Xue.
Seeing that they really looked good, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Thanks to your parents for giving me such good looks! Take these two away!"
"yes!"
The servant said and took them into the carriage.
Nangong Xue asked at this time: "Where are you going?!"
"Where to go?! You will know in a moment!" the servant urged: "Hurry up and get in the car."
Just like that, Xue Mu and Nangong Xue got into the car and waited.
On the other side, the middle-aged man was still picking people up.
"Today there is only one liter of rice, and one liter of rice per child."
"Only one liter of rice?!"
"We will also exchange for one liter of rice!"
"Mother, I don't want it! Ooooh, mother!"
"Be obedient, Nannan, you have to be obedient. If you enter the city, you will live well, do you understand?!"
"I'll change, I'll change!"
Just like that, a group of people rushed to throw the child into the car.
Finally, the middle-aged man had enough choices, pulled the three children into the car together, and closed the curtain.
The servant sat on the carriage, whipped the horse, and shouted: "Drive!"
At this time, the three children in the carriage immediately looked toward the window and kept shouting: "Mom, Dad!!"
When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately shouted: "Sit down! Otherwise, I will throw you down!"
Behind the carriage, the fathers and mothers who had just exchanged children kept chasing.
He kept shouting: "Nanny! Nanny!"
"Son! My son!"
"Qing'er!"
Although Nangong Xue was mentally prepared for this scene of being forced to separate because of survival.
But when I saw this scene, I still remembered the scene when my mother was killed by a thief.
Xue Mu saw that something was wrong with her mood.
She was worried that Nangong Xue would be exposed because of this.
So Xue Mu grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard, trying to calm her down.
Nangong Xue also tried to restore her mentality at this time.
She glanced at the three children who kept crying.
One of the children was the one who just handed the bowl of porridge to the woman.
The child huddled in the corner.
She didn't seem to understand why her mother sold her.
She hugged her knees with her hands and kept shouting: "Mother, don't you want your daughter anymore, mother?"
Nangong Xue wanted to be comforted, but she also knew that now was not the time.
At this time, Xue Mu was looking at the scene outside through the car window.
"This is not the east gate."
Xue Mu reacted immediately.
This carriage must enter through the north gate!
These people are quite thieves.
Obviously the east gate is closer to the east street, but it is far away from the nearby.
It seems that some of the generals at the North Gate must have been bribed.
Sure enough, after arriving at the north gate.
The middle-aged man got out of the car, whispered to the people on the side, and then got back on the carriage.
The carriage started again.
Nangong Xue clenched her fists and couldn't help but get angry: "These people, with their bodies and bare food, are doing some corrupt things with the salary from the court!"
"Shh~" Xue Mu reminded: "Sir, now is not the time to be filled with righteous indignation. If we are discovered, it will be bad then."
Sure enough, the carriage made a long circle and finally stopped on East Street.
The middle-aged man got out of the car, then patted the carriage and shouted: "Everyone, get out of the car!"
The servant also threw the children down roughly.
When Nangong Xue saw this, she just wanted to get angry, but for the sake of the whole plan, she endured it.
Xue Mu knew that she felt sorry for these children, so he could only pat the back of her hand to tell her to calm down.
The middle-aged man looked at the five people who got off the carriage.
At this time, a sharp voice came: "Oh, why are you back so late today!"
Xue Mu looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking out of the antique shop.
She had a plump figure and a large mole on the left side of her chin. She glanced at the middle-aged man and complained: "I'm almost falling asleep waiting."
"Ya Po, there is nothing we can do. The number of refugees is increasing day by day, and our carriage is about to fall apart!" The middle-aged man sighed: "If you don't believe me, ask A Niu."
The servants on the side also nodded: "Yes, Ya Po, Brother Mang and I were almost buried alive by those refugees."
Naturally, Yapo didn't believe these people's lies.
She came to the front of five people and inspected the goods one by one.
"Well, this little girl is doing okay after washing her face. She just lost a little weight. Let Grandma Ya give you some fat and sell it to you at a good price."
"Amang, why is this boy's teeth so black?! Didn't you notice?"
"Ah? Is it true? Damn it! It's true!"
With that said, the middle-aged man Amang kicked the little boy hard when he was angry.
The little boy was kicked so hard that he knelt on the ground.
Ya Po frowned and said: "You are going to die! You kicked him to pieces, who wants more?! Even though his teeth are a bit darker, he is still a human being after all. There are still people who want to use them as coolies, but the price is less. , it will be deducted from your commission anyway.”
When Aman heard this, he cursed quietly behind Yapo.
When Ya Po was about to look at the third child, she accidentally noticed Nangong Xue next to her.
At this sight, her eyes lit up.
"Oh my, this girl is tall, has a good figure, and looks good!" Ya Po immediately became excited: "Ah Mang, where did you find this?"
Ya Po looked at it from top to bottom until her eyes rested on Nangong Xue's (●person●), and her eyes widened even more.
this.
Is there such a big number among the refugees? !
At this time, the middle-aged man Amang explained: "Ya Po, these two are brother and sister. Their parents are probably dead, so they don't need money or food. It's enough to let them live. I thought that although they are older I lost some, but it wasn’t a loss, so I brought it back.”
"It's definitely not a loss!" Ya Po kept praising: "If I dress up better, I can even send it to a brothel!"
After Nangong Xue heard this, she pretended to be real. She quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want to go to a brothel! I don't want it!"
"It's okay. Going to a brothel is better than wandering outside and starving to death, right?" Ya Po started brainwashing mode: "You know, in fact, many officials in the capital spend a lot of money. If you can coax them, then you can I won’t have to worry about it for half my life.”
Xue Mu took the opportunity and said, "No, you can't sell my sister to a place like that!"
Ya Po listened to what Xue Mu said and looked up.
Seeing this, his face became even more happy.
"Oh my, it turns out you two brothers and sisters are so good-looking!!"
"This sister is slim and graceful, and this brother is also handsome."
Yapo even couldn't help but gulped after seeing it.
She immediately looked back at Aman and said: "Go, prepare clothes for them, prepare a bathtub, change clothes and take a bath for them."
"Yes! Yapo."
Ah Mang simply called the servant behind him to do something: "A Niu, hurry up, take them in."
"Let's go! Hurry up!"
"Be quick!"
"Otherwise, I'll give you a whip to eat!"
Soon, all five people were brought in.
At this time, Yapo whispered: "That man will be sent to my room later."
"Ya Po, you are rare!" Amang said, "Then his sister, can I"
"Don't even think about it, she looks like the original one. I plan to dress her up and send her to those young masters' houses." Ya Po warned: "You can go to those in the basement in the backyard. If you dare to think about this, , I can’t spare you!”
The middle-aged man could only nod his head: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
After Ya Po left, he cursed: "Grandma, you know how to steal."
The servant A Niu led the five people into a dilapidated hut, and then urged: "You guys wash up quickly, and come out after washing and changing clothes!"
With a bang, the door closed.
At this time, the three children began to cry again.
"Mother-in-law"
"Daddy."
Xue Mu looked at them, they looked like they were twelve or thirteen years old at most.
Due to long-term malnutrition, he does not look as good as his peers in the city.
You know, if a girl of twelve or thirteen years old is well developed, her parents will help find a good family in the city.
So in some respects, Nangong Xue is already an older leftover girl at the age of eighteen.
The first girl wiped her tears and began to undress.
Maybe she gave up, maybe she felt that her mother didn't want her anymore.
She decided to jump into the bucket and take a bath.
When Nangong Xue saw this, she immediately asked the two boys to turn around so that they wouldn't see him.
At the same time, she glanced at Xue Mu and said, "Turn around."
Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I can't see."
"Turn around."
Xue Mu had no choice but to turn around and wait.
At this time, the servant A Niu was urging at the door: "Come out after washing!"
The girl put on a change of clothes and said to them: "Brothers and sisters, I've finished washing and I'm going out."
As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her eyes, tried to look strong, and opened the door.
At this time, Nangong Xue asked the two boys to take a bath.
He said to Xue Mu: "Okay, you can go wash it too."
"Why are you washing? Just change your clothes." Xue Mu asked, "You want to wash? Then these two children will go out after washing. I will watch here. Don't worry, I promise to ensure your safety."
Nangong Xue:
Not long after, the two boys were also washed.
They dutifully got dressed and opened the door.
Seeing this, Xue Mu asked, "Are you washing?"
Nangong Xue was speechless: "I won't wash it."
"Then I've washed it."
Nangong Xue:? ? ?
"Didn't you say you don't wash?" Nangong Xue frowned.
"There are two buckets of clean water here. If you don't wash it, it will be a waste. These clothes are so smelly. I feel uncomfortable if I don't wash them." Xue Mu explained: "Don't you feel the smell?"
Nangong Xue gritted her teeth and finally said: "Turn your head away! Don't look at it!"
"You want to wash?"
"Turn around!"
Xue Mu suppressed a smile, took off his clothes, jumped directly into the bucket, and turned his head away.
Nangong Xue blushed when she saw this.
She originally planned not to wash it, but if she was dressed in this outfit later, she would be seen by the subordinates of the Divine Catcher.
You will only lose your image.
After thinking about it, Nangong Xue finally came to the door and locked it to ensure the safety of the door.
She glanced back at Xue Mu again, and after making sure he wasn't peeking, she lowered her head and untied the bandeau again and again, releasing a lot of the pressure on her breasts.
Just like that, Nangong Xue took off her clothes bit by bit
