Chapter 3 In the first seven days, the evil aunt sells her nephew into slavery
Six days later.
Xu Taiping's second uncle's house.
"What? You want to sell Taiping?!"
Xu Taiping's second uncle, Xu Erniu, looked at his second aunt in front of him in disbelief.
"Shh!..."
The second aunt, whose face was filled with anger, raised a finger to signal the two cows to keep their voices down.
"What is selling? Working as a servant in Baijiazhuang is an opportunity that most people can't ask for."
The second aunt rolled her eyes at the second uncle.
"That's what I say, but after all, I have become a slave..."
The second uncle was a little embarrassed.
"In the Bai family, you can eat well, drink well, and use it well. What happened to your slave status? Don't worry about this matter. I have accepted the deposit."
The second aunt waved her hand and decided very decisively.
"All right."
Erniu couldn't resist his wife, so he sighed softly and nodded immediately.
"Where's the Taiping?"
The second aunt then asked.
"Still in the ancestral hall. Today is the seventh day of the lunar calendar. Taiping wants to keep a vigil for the old man."
Erniu, who was dressed in mourning clothes, wiped his mouth and replied.
"The people from Baijiazhuang are already waiting at the entrance of the village. Ask him to come back quickly."
The second aunt rolled her eyes at Er Niu.
"Arrived so soon?"
Erniu was a little surprised.
"The young master from Baijiazhuang will go to private school next month, and there happens to be a lack of a book boy around him. Otherwise, how could it be so fast? Stop talking nonsense and go and bring that boy back from the ancestral hall."
The second aunt gave the second uncle a hard look, and then urged him again.
"But... But today is the seventh day of my life, so why don't we let Taiping finish tonight before leaving?"
The second uncle scratched his head in embarrassment.
As soon as Xu Taiping's grandfather died, the couple started discussing how to deal with Xu Taiping, a dragster. However, the second uncle still had some old feelings and was unwilling to let Taiping go to work as a servant in the Bai family without having passed the first seven years.
"First seven, first seven, what happened to first seven? Is it important to have money? You!"
The second aunt poked the second uncle in the forehead with a look of hatred, and then said:
Mystical face came close to the second uncle’s ear and whispered:
"Do you know how much money the Bai family is willing to pay? Thirty taels, thirty taels!"
The second aunt's eyes were full of greed.
Upon hearing this, the second uncle was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said:
"I'll call Taiping right away."
…
Half an hour later.
Qingniu Village, village entrance.
Xu Taiping reluctantly looked in the direction of the ancestral hall, and then asked his second uncle and second aunt in front of him:
"Second uncle, can't you really leave tomorrow?"
"Taiping, going to Baijiazhuang to work as a servant is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't leave now, tomorrow you won't be able to go even if you want to!"
The second aunt said to Xu Taiping with a smile on her face.
"Second Aunt is worried that she won't be able to sell me at a good price until tomorrow, right?"
Xu Taiping gave the second aunt a cold look.
Although he has been keeping vigil for the past few days, he has experienced all kinds of human kindness since he was a child. How could he not know about the secret activities of his second aunt and his second uncle?
The reason why Taiping did not refuse to resist was that he had no way to resist, and he also felt that going to Baijiazhuang might be a good choice. After all, his grandfather had passed away and he had nothing to worry about here.
"You kid, why are you talking to your aunt? Your aunt is doing this for your own good!"
When Xu Taiping said this, his second uncle glared at him fiercely.
"Stop dawdling and get in the car quickly. There have been rat demons in this area at night recently. We have to get to Qingzhuling before dark."
At this time, the steward of the Bai family on the carriage behind Xu Taiping urged him.
"I'm coming!"
Hearing this, the second uncle and second aunt couldn't help but grab one of Taiping's arms and drag him to the carriage.
Xu Taiping did not resist, but felt a little chilled.
…
"Little guy, please be careful. This is the contract of sale you signed with the Bai family. From now on, you will be my slave of the Bai family. You will have nothing to do with Qingniu Village or the Xu family."
In front of the carriage, after Xu Taiping pressed his fingerprints, the steward of the Bai family picked up the deed of betrayal and waved it in his hand.
"Um."
Taiping nodded expressionlessly.
"It seems that the elixir grandpa gave me has expired. Six days have passed and no immortal has come to pick me up."
While the manager of the Bai family was communicating with his second uncle and second aunt, Xu Taiping silently raised his head and looked up at the sky.
He actually wasn't too disappointed with the matter of seeking an immortal. After all, his biggest motivation for becoming an immortal was to cure his grandfather.
"Huh? There was a white crane bigger than a buffalo that day!"
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Wait a minute, there seem to be two people standing on top of that white crane!"
At this moment, the villagers watching at the entrance of the village suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.
Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping, the steward of the Bai family, and the Erniu couple all raised their heads, and then they discovered that a huge white crane appeared in the sky above their heads, and on the back of the white crane, there was still a faint figure standing.
There are two figures.
"Immortal... Immortal?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Taiping slowly spit out two words.
"It's an immortal, it must be an immortal!"
At this time, many villagers also started shouting.
"Hey!..."
At this moment, accompanied by the cry of a crane, two figures descended from the sky and slowly landed in front of everyone at the entrance of the village.
These two people, a man and a woman, one is wearing a sky-green gown and the other is wearing a red skirt. The man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, rich and handsome, and the woman's eyebrows are like a fairy from the Nine Heavens who has fallen into the mortal world, so beautiful that the surrounding scenery is dim.
Eclipsed.
"Excuse me, everyone, I am a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect in Yunlu Mountain. I came down here with my junior sister today to find a young man."
The young man bowed his hands to everyone politely.
Everyone in Qingniu Village heard this
, and then there was an uproar. They did not expect that these two people were actually immortals, and they were immortals from the nearby Yunlu Mountain.
"I would like to ask you, is there a young man named Xu Taiping in the village?"
At this time, the female disciple in red from Yunlu Mountain also bowed her hands to everyone and asked with a smile.
When the woman smiled, not only the man saw it, but also the woman saw it, and her heart palpitated.
"Xu...Xu Taiping?"
"It's him, he's Xu Taiping!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, several villagers immediately pointed their fingers at Xu Taiping beside the carriage.
Most of the people in Qingniu Village are acquaintances, not to mention that Xu Taiping's family is a rare family with a different surname in this village, so most of them know Xu Taiping.
"Are you Xu Taiping?"
The female disciple in red took a step forward and looked at the young Xu Taiping with a look of joy.
"Um."
Xu Taiping nodded.
In fact, he had already guessed the identities of these two people.
"Senior brother."
Seeing Taiping nod, the woman quickly turned to look at the young man behind her.
"There is a response from the Jade Slip of Chuan Gong. He is the person we want to find."
The young man nodded and raised a jade slip in his hand that was emitting a faint green light towards the female disciple.
"This... this fairy, this nephew of mine, did something happen?"
At this time, the second uncle Xu Erniu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Who asked you to mind your own business!"
As soon as Xu Erniu spoke, the second aunt on the side pulled him back and continued to keep a distance of five or six feet from Xu Taiping.
Not only them, but the other villagers also stepped back one after another, keeping a distance from Xu Taiping.
Obviously, most of the villagers, like Xu Erniu, speculated that Xu Taiping might have committed something, which led the immortal to come down the mountain.
After all, Qingniu Village is close to Yunlu Mountain. Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you have at least heard of the immortal coming down the mountain to slay demons.
