Soon, Boss Zheng's men led a dozen children out of the backyard.
Those children lined up in front of Chu Zichen, waiting for him to choose.
When the children came out, Ruan Xiangxiang's eyes flew over, trying to find Ruan Sanbao's figure.
However, no.
Each of those children was as thin as a bamboo pole, their faces were dark, and their clothes were so tattered that they were barely covered.
Although there was no Ruan Sanbao among these people, Chu Zichen still walked past from left to right like a show.
When he sees someone with his head lowered, he will shout: "Raise your head."
Li Huai was like a pug, following Chu Zichen around, looking like he was trying to please and flatter him.
After Chu Zichen finished reading, Li Huai immediately asked: "Master Chen, how are you doing? Do you have anyone you like?"
Chu Zichen shook his head in disappointment.
Li Huai immediately turned his head, blowing his beard and glaring at Boss Zheng: "Boss Zheng, how dare you hide your secrets in front of me?"
Boss Zheng's face was full of injustice: "It's unfair, Mr. Li, you are the parent official of Dongping County. I am living under your jurisdiction. How can I dare to hide my secrets?"
"Then you're going to give me these crooked melons and split dates?" Li Huai said angrily.
Boss Zheng quickly explained: "I am not a villain who will fix crooked melons and cracked dates for you. In fact, this is the only thing available now. Sir, think about it, there is a famine now. The children of any family are not so hungry that they are skin and bones. They are lucky to be alive.
Already.
If children like them can find a master as rich and noble as this Mr. Chen, it will be their destiny.
Do you think so?"
Li Huai looked like a rogue: "Unless you let me search it, I won't believe you."
Boss Zheng had no choice but to nod: "Mr. Li, if you want to search, you can search. If you search, you will know that the villain did not lie to you."
Li Huai immediately ordered his men to go in and search.
Ruan Xiangxiang also followed, preparing to find it herself.
Boss Zheng pointed at Ruan Xiangxiang: "Who is that? If you are not a soldier under Mr. Li, don't go in and search."
Chu Zichen immediately came to her rescue: "She helped me choose the book boy. Xiangxiang, if she sees the right one, she will bring it out to me directly."
"good."
Boss Zheng also saw that Chu Zichen's status was extraordinary. After all, if even Li Huai could please someone like this, he must be a big shot.
Naturally, Chu Munan never left Ruan Xiangxiang and followed her to the backyard.
The environment for incarcerating people in the backyard is not very good, but it is much better than Shopkeeper Cao's basement.
There is also a cage, but the cage is higher than Shopkeeper Cao's. Even if an adult stands in it, he doesn't have to lower his head.
But at this time, the people inside were all sitting in twos and threes, and no one had the strength to stand.
There are six rooms in total that Mr. Zheng keeps people in, and each room has about ten people locked up.
When she reached the door of the last room, Ruan Xiangxiang hesitated.
What if there is no one in the last room?
Chu Munan didn't rush her, but just walked in first, helping Ruan Xiangxiang go through it first before talking.
Ruan Xiangxiang didn't hesitate for long at the door and stepped in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, a familiar voice came from inside.
"Xiangxiang, Ruan Xiangxiang, are you here to save us?"
Ruan Xiangxiang was suddenly shocked. Isn't this the voice of Ruan Dabao, the eldest son of the Ruan Dalin family?
Why is he here? Could it be that he was also sold by the old man and the old woman of the Ruan family?
