Behind her were two small houses, which should be her home. I felt pity at this time, squatted on the ground and sighed: "Girl, do you think I can buy you?"
The girl looked at me and burst into tears, but she didn't make a sound and just said coldly: "As long as the young master can buy a good coffin for my father, perform a Taoist ritual, and save my father's soul,
Whether I go to the underworld or the ghost realm, I will work as a slave for you. I don’t want my father to become a lonely ghost."
I sighed and said, "Okay, that's it, let's take the body back first!"
In this way, the girl and I carried the body back to the house. Then I came out, let everyone disperse, unloaded the carriage, and tied the horse to a toon tree at the door. After returning to the house, I
Said: "How much does it cost to bury your father?"
The girl held out five fingers and said: "Five spiritual stones!"
I took out five spiritual stones and handed them over. After taking them, the girl looked at me and nodded, turned around and went out. Soon, someone came with a coffin, and a chef came and started setting up a pot table outside.
, and someone brought vegetables and fish, and neighbors from all over came to help. After three days of busy work, the old man was finally sent away. After everyone dispersed, I asked the girl: "Your father
How did you die?"
The girl sighed and said: "I was beaten to death by Wang Muba. Wang Muba's men hit my father on the head with a stick and hit a bag. He didn't feel anything at first. After he came back, he felt dizzy. In the evening, he drank a glass of wine."
After drinking, I fell asleep and never woke up again.”
I sighed and asked, "How did your brother die?"
The girl cried and said: "I was poisoned by Wang Muba. My brother picked mountain products and left the town in the middle of the night to sell them in the city. Wang Muba's people saw this and beat my brother severely when he came back."
, my brother couldn’t swallow this, so he filed a complaint, and I don’t know what happened. My brother died outside, and the coroner said he drank soup made from poisonous mushrooms, or that he committed suicide out of fear of crime!”
I sighed and said, "What's your brother's crime?"
The girl continued to cry and said: "Wang Muba's stepmother said that my brother raped her. Everyone knows that this widow is lying. Since she was occupied by Wang Muba's father, this little widow was looking for death and survival at first, and then she
He changed and obeyed Wang Muba’s father!”
I snorted coldly and said, "That doesn't make sense. What about your face?"
The girl sighed and said: "After my brother died, Wang Muba came to my house to propose marriage. He wanted to marry me as his child. If I didn't do it, they threatened me. I even destroyed my face with a knife. Wang Muba became angry with shame.
, beat my dad with a stick, and my dad died."
I took a closer look at this woman. If she didn't have this scar on her face, she would indeed be pretty. I sighed in my heart and said, "Beauty is a disaster!"
The girl sighed and said, "But, sir, why did you come to this Wulong Town?"
I thought for a while and said: "I originally planned to do some mountain goods business, but it seems that this business can't be done, so I might as well live here. You see that I am in good health, but in fact I have a chronic illness. Look at the beautiful scenery here, so come here
Rest for a while, and I will stay at your house."
The girl smiled and said: "Master, I am your slave now, so naturally my broken home is yours. This home is worth thirty taels of silver at best. Except for the toon tree at the door, everything else is white.
Give it to no one and no one wants it!”
I looked around, and it was indeed a bare house. But it was fairly clean. I nodded and smiled, and took out a small bag from my arms. It contained all my belongings. There were a dozen spiritual stones in total. I handed it to
He gave it to the girl and said: "Take it, buy some furniture for the house, and buy some clothes for yourself. By the way, I have to eat meat every day, every meal. Without meat, I can't eat."
Look at this girl, her face is not very good. I want her to eat better and she will become white and tender soon. Children from poor families don't have a good complexion, so what can I do?
After the girl opened it, she said: "I don't dare to take this much money. Master, just give me some every day. Otherwise, if I lose it, I can't afford to pay for it!"
I smiled and said, "What's your name?"
The girl said submissively: "My name is Wang Ling. Most people in our town have the surname Wang, but my Wang is far different from Wang Muba's Liu."
I sighed and said: "In this case, I will put the money in that box. You can take as much as you need. I want to sleep for a while. When I wake up, I want to eat, have meat, and most importantly, have wine."
, By the way, buy another bed, there’s just a kang like this, we can’t sleep on it!”
Wang Ling looked at me and said: "In such a small house, there is only one bedroom and one kitchen. There is no room for a bed. Although this kang is not big, it is hot and comfortable to sleep on. And I am a young master."
Naturally, my slave will be by my side to serve you. If the young master needs to relieve himself at night, I can carry him the urinal, so he doesn’t need to get out of his warm bed. It’s very cold outside at night.”
Although I didn't need her to carry the urinal, I really felt that sleeping on this hot bed was quite comfortable, and I thought it was fine, so I nodded.
I slept soundly on the hot kang. When I woke up, I heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen outside. I got up and washed my face, then moved a small table to the kang. I sighed and said: "
This poor man’s kang table is so small. Doesn’t it mean he doesn’t have any vegetables and eats pickles all the time?”
Wang Ling said at this time: "Sir, I bought a big table and I said it would be delivered soon."
Not long after, a big car came to the door, and a group of people came in carrying various furniture, tables, wardrobes, desks, and even wooden buckets for soaking feet. These people left after paying the bill.
, but at this time, a middle-aged man in charge of transportation tilted his neck and looked at Wang Ling and said: "Wang Ling, you have made a fortune by hooking up with a wild man!"
Wang Ling glanced at him and said, "Please speak more clearly. I sold myself to my son to hide from my father. Don't insult my son!"
The man stretched his neck to look at me, snorted, turned around and walked out.
I waved my hand and said, "Wang Ling, don't worry about this kind of person. He has pink eye. Your family is used to being poor. Once someone has a better life than him, he won't be able to bear it."
Wang Ling looked at me and said, "Sir, I think we should leave here."
