Chapter 2 In troubled times, human life is worthless
"I'll go with you, and I won't lose a penny of the eight coins!" Fang Yang said firmly.
"But I have to say goodbye to my parents first."
Although Fang Yang was small, he was very determined, and then he began to comfort his parents.
"Brother Yang, please!" Zhang Erhua then showed a flattering smile.
At this time, upon hearing Fang Yang's price, the burly man Zhang Bao put his hand next to Zhang Erhua's ear and cursed in a low voice:
"Eight coins, two slides, you're crazy!"
"Don't all the other children only have two or three coins? Why should they be given eight coins?"
"You know nothing!"
Zhang Erhua looked at the family members who were saying goodbye and found that no one was paying attention, so he felt relieved.
"This child from the Fang family can read and understand all kinds of books and scriptures. If he can be sold to a wealthy family in the city to work as a book boy, he will be worth at least ten or twenty taels of silver. We can earn more than twenty times.
"
Zhang Erhua said softly.
"That's it!" Zhang Bao suddenly realized. "Why don't they dare to enter the city by themselves?"
"Go by yourself? Do they have connections? And there are bandits killing people on the road!"
"Bandits?" Zhang Bao was a little worried.
"If it weren't for the bandits killing people on the way to the city, and the patrols in the city not allowing the refugees to enter the city and killing several of them, I'm afraid many mountain residents would have gone into the city to take refuge themselves." Zhang Erhua whispered.
"Will the bandits be targeting us? Is our trip also in danger?" Zhang Bao asked worriedly.
"Haha, I found out in secret that today is June 14th, the birthday of the city lord. There are cavalry patrolling the city, and the bandits dare not come out today." Zhang Erhua's eyes were full of cunning.
The two of them muttered to each other, making Fang Yang think that they wanted to change their minds.
Fang Yang broke away from his mother's hand, knelt down and kowtowed to his parents a few times, and then boarded the donkey cart without looking back.
Zhang Erhua was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly handed a few pieces of silver to Fang Yan, then took out the written deed, grabbed Fang Yan's hand, and pressed his fingerprints.
Then Zhang Erhuan threw over half a bag of brown rice, jumped on the donkey cart and ran all the way, for fear that the Fang family would regret it.
Half an hour later, the donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the neighboring village.
Fang Yang also knew the boy who came up this time. His name was Wang Tieniu, and he was the child of a tenant farmer in a neighboring village.
This Wang Tieniu is only eleven years old, one month younger than Fang Yang.
But he was much stronger than Fang Yang. He looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he had quite a lot of strength.
This made Zhang Erhua and Zhang Bao frown.
Although Fang Yang knew Wang Tieniu, he was now being sold like an animal, so neither of them was happy to see each other. They just smiled bitterly and nodded lightly to each other.
When the donkey cart was far away from the village road, Zhang Erhua, the driver, immediately gave Zhang Bao a fierce look.
Zhang Bao nodded, immediately rushed over and grabbed Wang Tieniu's left leg.
"What do you want to do!" Wang Tieniu didn't realize what happened at all and screamed in fright.
Zhang Bao was seen grabbing Tieniu's left leg, twisting it suddenly, and then pressed it with his whole body.
Zhang Bao was originally strong and strong, and now that he was pressed with all the strength in his body, his strength was even more terrifying.
"Crack..." There was a snapping sound from Tieniu's leg.
"Ah..." Then came Tieniu's scream, the sound was extremely shrill.
Tieniu's left leg immediately swelled up, and he was unable to move at all. It was obvious that his left leg had been severed.
Big drops of sweat flowed down from Tien Niu's forehead, while he kept howling miserably.
"Tieniu, what's wrong?" Fang Yang shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Humph, you have been sold to us, your life is ours! We can do whatever we want!"
Zhang Bao said fiercely.
Except for Fang Yang, who was relatively calm on the donkey cart, all the children in the donkey cart were so frightened that they began to howl and cry.
The donkey cart was in chaos.
Fang Yang reads a lot, and compared to ordinary children, he has the temperament of a scholar who is not surprised when things change.
But seeing Ti Niu's bones being violently broken, Fang Yang's heart felt like a storm.
"Hmph, this little bull looks like he has a lot of strength. If I don't break his legs, he might run away without noticing, and I'll be in big trouble."
Zhang Erhua said with a ferocious look on his face.
"Yes, instead of letting him run away, it's better to break his legs! And it's better to break them. Send him to Fengcheng to be a beggar and ask for money honestly!" Zhang Bao said with a cruel smile on the side.
"Hahaha, that's right, beggars with broken legs usually ask for more money, haha!" Zhang Erhua also laughed.
The ferocious conversation between the two made Fang Yang feel angry in his heart.
"It hurts~~it hurts~~wuwu..." Tieniu didn't whine for long before he fainted.
Fang Yang had read some broken medical books at home and knew that Tieniu's feet might become useless if this continued.
"I want to poop!" Fang Yang suddenly shouted before the donkey cart had gone far.
Just now, many children were so frightened that they peed their pants. When Fang Yang said this, they all responded: "I want to poop too~~~"
"I want it too!"
"I~~I peed my pants~~~oooh~~"
Zhang Erhua also smelled the stench in the car, so he had no choice but to stop the donkey cart.
"You two, please be honest, otherwise this brat will suffer the consequences!" Zhang Erhua said viciously.
Fang Yang got the opportunity to search around under the car, broke off a few dead branches as thick as his arms, tore off a few strands of cloth from his own rag wrapper, and went to the car to tie Wang Tieniu's broken leg to make a pair.
Small plywood.
"You kid can also heal injuries?" Zhang Erhua said with disdain on his face.
"I've read medical books. If you don't treat him, if he can't bear it and dies, you won't get a single coin."
Fang Yang retorted, which made the two rogues not stop him.
Zhang Erhua nodded, then took a few cracked sesame seed cakes and a gourd filled with water from his bag, and handed them over impatiently.
I guess he was also afraid that if someone died, they would lose money.
Along the way, the children were afraid of staying in the dark donkey cart, and from time to time, children would have to get off for convenience.
Although the two rogues were very dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
But in this way, the speed of the donkey cart will be much slower.
Originally, the two scoundrels wanted to rush to Dafeng City in the evening, but now it was getting late and they had to travel more than a hundred miles.
At this time, we were still more than twenty miles away from Dafeng City.
"Damn it, lazy cows and lazy horses pee a lot. It's dark, and it's not peaceful outside Fengcheng!"
Zhang Bao's face became increasingly ugly.
There were also gloomy black clouds gathering in the sky, which was so oppressive that it made people feel depressed.
"Bang~~" Suddenly the donkey cart bumped against a stone, and the wheels of the cart were directly damaged.
"What the hell, what a broken car. Repair it quickly. It looks like it's going to rain." Zhang Bao cursed.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Erhua had to jump out of the car.
"You bastards, get out of the car for me, I want to repair the car." Zhang Erhua yelled.
A group of children were eager to get out of the car and quickly jumped out of the car.
"If you dare to run away from me, I will skin you!" Zhang Erhua threatened, making the children tremble in fear.
