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 we were careless. With so many people stabbing each of us, why not chop us into pieces?
The fat man seemed to have read through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Look, this kid thinks you are bandits."
The crowd 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. Judging from your poor appearance, I must
Since I haven’t eaten my last meal, 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:
The car and boat shop's legs and teeth should be killed even if they are not guilty!
Sui Feng was somewhat relieved when he heard that it was not a robber. After all, official teeth are legal teeth, even if they are buying and selling 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. Master Bao naturally understood what he meant. He squinted and said, "What, is this kid a young master? So you can't sell him. Well, this kid, you yourself
Are you willing to buy it for me?"
Tang Zhao felt it was incredible 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 have seen people like you a lot. Every time there is a sinister disaster, so many families have been destroyed, and the young master and the young lady cannot be taken seriously. Now that you have not been poor for a few days, you can still afford a simple meal, so 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, if she is so thin, her background may not be worse than yours."
The girl was about eight or nine years old, with a sallow complexion and thin skin. She only wore a thin layer of clothes and a felt hat on her head, which covered most of her hair, leaving only a handful of unkempt black hair on the back of her head. Her body was shaking.
Group, the iron chain under his 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 someone who grew up eating fine grains have such teeth? Even though she is thin, her bones are not crooked, and she is a beauty 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, "I know the price was too high. The person who sold her was not a member of her family. I didn't know that the strong man on the road snatched her away and sold her. It was a business without capital, and he made a profit even if he had 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. I will give it to the stuttering girl, even if she lives 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 very lucky when she meets me. The master is an official, and he is from a high-ranking family. They are all good people who are not short of food, clothing, and fear of famine. If they are brought in, they will have food to eat. For someone like her, how can she still be lucky?
Someone like you who is well-born and sensible might have a future. Especially if you are a boy. When you meet a family that has no heirs, you might change your identity 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.”
When Sui Feng heard that he was involved in it, he suppressed his anger, went up and saluted, and said: "Master, this is your place. We are not worthy of standing here anymore. Let's take our leave." 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 was staring at the fat man's hands before, but he couldn't bear to look at the girl's face, so he looked at random things to distract his attention. The fat man's hands were short and thick, and they kept shaking around, so they were naturally easy to see. What's more, his hands were full of bright things.
The jewelry rings and jade rings are so dazzling.
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 he was a child has gradually made it difficult for him to use his eyesight. It was not easy for him to distinguish colors from this distance, but he could see clearly. He even saw the route of the pattern clearly and saw the inside of the jade crack.
The texture of the wall.
He took another look, and his eyes were dim for a while. 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 do you keep 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 that the other party's expression had changed, and he 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: "Follow 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 fire 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 spraying out, one by one, 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 crows were so fast that they swept out like a flood.
If you look carefully, the outlines of the crows are blurred, and their edges almost gradually blend into the dark 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, wondering where he had ever 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 human beings, 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 down for a while, he has his own protection."
There may be some hidden treasure in this treasure that I can't touch. That's all, 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 a thousand taels of silver? I mean, he is worth a thousand taels of silver."
Seeing that all the big men looked disbelieving, Mr. Bao said: "Humans are different from each other. In this world, even immortals are not worth anything anymore. We have worked hard and risked our lives 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 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."
