Chapter 422 Godmother
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Xiucai woke up from the injuries and pain on his body. He had no money to stay in an inn, so he hugged Tao'er and lay under the eaves all night. At this moment, he felt cold and hungry.
He now regrets why he squandered the money he won. If he could have saved a little, he wouldn't be in the current situation.
What made him even more desperate was that wherever he went next, he couldn't go to Niuxin Village, and he had nowhere to go.
"Master, why don't you take me as your concubine?"
"No!" Lu Xiucai refused without hesitation. "If I ask you to give birth to a son for another man, where will I put my face!!"
A rare trace of sadness appeared on Tao'er's face, "I don't want to be sold, but I will be hungry if I don't have money to eat. My father sold me because he didn't have money to eat."
Glancing sideways at the opponent's face that was yellow with hunger, Lu Xiucai gritted his teeth and clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the ground. If he had the strength of Li Huowang, how could he end up in this situation!
But no matter what, he finally pulled Tao'er to stand up and walked towards the inn where Bai Lingmiao lived.
When Bai Lingmiao and Chun Xiaoman were about to set off, Lu Xiucai appeared in front of them again.
He really didn't want to give in to a woman, but when he thought of Tao'er being pinned down by another man, he felt uncomfortable. Lu Xiucai clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Bai, I can't help myself before. It was my fault. Please let me go back to Niuxin Mountain!"
"Is this what you're asking for? What's your name, Li Huowang, and what's your name for me?" Bai Lingmiao stared at the young man in front of him with a hint of amusement.
"Li Huowang is my master, I call you... my master's wife!"
"That's right. Except for your father, no one else in this world has the obligation to treat you well. If you want something from outsiders, you have to pay something."
Lu Xiucai nodded vigorously, "Yes! The master's wife said yes!"
"Okay, let's go. By the way, where did the wife beside you come from?" Bai Lingmiao focused on the woman next to Lu Xiucai.
"I bought it, Master Wife. Look over there. It's just like those people who bought it from Ren Yazi."
Bai Lingmiao followed Lu Xiucai's finger and saw several half-year-old children with sallow faces and skinny muscles kneeling on the roadside. There were some dry straw stuck in the back of their collars. Next to them, a tall and thin man was bargaining with others.
When Chun Xiaoman saw this scene, he suddenly remembered something, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Bai Lingmiao patted the back of her hand, and then asked Lu Xiucai, "How much money does one have?"
"Looking at the face and the head, when I bought Tao'er it was five taels."
Bai Lingmiao narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of something, "There are indeed a few people in Niuxin Village. And some of the exercises under the ancestral hall are probably too few if they are practiced by other brothers alone. If you want to be strong enough, it is best to form a scale. , just like my grandfather and my father and mother."
There is a risk of being exposed by directly looking for other people from the outside. These helpless boys and girls have no place to run, and they can be controlled by themselves.
Although he didn't remember anything when he was a child and didn't know what the Bai family was doing behind the scenes, Bai Lingmiao remembered that for a long time, the life of his people was very nourishing. When he was a child, he had plenty of meat and eggs every day, and he even wore gold on his ankles. bracelet.
And being able to force Li Huowang to the point where his skin was completely burned off was proof of their power.
Thinking of this, Bai Lingmiao walked over and immediately discussed the price with the man Yazi.
Seeing that Bai Lingmiao bought them all regardless of size or appearance, the man suddenly smiled from ear to ear.
"Are these people going to be my slaves from now on?" Bai Lingmiao asked Ren Yazi who was weighing money on a small scale.
"Hey~! What did the girl say? We are not those barbarians in Qingqiu. The emperor personally issued the decree that slaves are not allowed to be kept and sold in Daliang!" After saying this, the man was arrogant. Shang laughed again.
"These are not your slaves, they are clearly your adopted sons and daughters! Hurry! Kowtow to your godmother!"
The boys and girls, who were so hungry that their faces were sallow and skinny, seemed to have been numb for a long time. They immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated themselves in front of Bai Lingmiao. "Godmother!"
"Hehehe, this girl, this is your godson's goddaughter's contract of sale. We have settled the money." Ren Yazi said happily, completely unaware of the cold look in Bai Lingmiao's eyes behind him.
"Dong dong dong" the drums started beating, and as Bai Lingmiao sang the song "Moving Armies", the two gods slowly walked towards the deserted street beside them.
"I know you hate this kind of person, don't worry, this guy won't survive tomorrow." Bai Lingmiao patted Chun Xiaoman's hand again.
"Thank you." Chun Xiaoman slowly put the bell in his sleeve back.
"This is a big deal, isn't it? Did we still need to say thank you before?"
Bai Lingmiao turned around and looked at the group of boys and girls with sallow faces and skinny muscles in front of them. To be honest, these people did not look very good. They all had crooked melons, cracked dates, buck teeth and protruding eyes.
If the better-looking ones and the stronger ones had been picked out by others earlier, these would be the remaining ones. Fortunately, Bai Lingmiao didn't care about these, as long as they were human beings.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. I bought you back because there are many fields in the village and we need tenants to cultivate the fields. You can keep 60% of the food grown and pay 40% to yourself."
When they heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. You must know that they are adopted sons and daughters. Let alone 60%, even 10% is the right thing to do. This is a good person!
"Let's go, this place is still far away from Niuxin Mountain." After Bai Lingmiao said that, he got on the carriage directly. A group of people hurriedly followed.
One of the women with a mole on the lower corner of her mouth couldn't help being hungry and said, "Goddess, can you help the stutterer on his way? We just had a sip of millet porridge yesterday, not too much, just a handful of rice."
For these people, of course Renyazi can do whatever they want to save costs, as long as they don't starve to death.
"What do you mean by a mouthful? Xiaoli is a stingy person. If you want to eat, you will be full!" Bai Lingmiao threw a big bag of dry food directly with his hand.
Seeing this scene, Chun Xiaoman suddenly smiled knowingly. Although Miaomiao's character became more public, she was still as kind as before.
Seeing the multi-grain steamed buns and Guokui meat jerky inside, these people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and they gathered around and ate hungrily.
"I'm here first! Come on, everyone!" Lu Xiucai squeezed in. After he came out, he stuffed four grain steamed buns into Tao'er's arms and gnawed on the meat in his hands.
While he was chewing, he said to Bai Lingmiao in the carriage: "Master's wife, these little dolls are very messy and have no rules at all. Why don't you come up here and let me take care of them?"
After shouting it for the first time, the subsequent shouting became smoother and smoother.
Now he has figured it out. The other party is right. If you don't have strength, you are useless. If you need to be soft, you should be soft. Anyway, you won't lose half of your flesh.
"No, you can't do anything. You can't even hide your dissatisfaction with me."
Lu Xiucai panicked and quickly denied it. "Master, why should I be dissatisfied with you? You are my master's wife."
"Yes, you are afraid that if you do something, Li Huowang will make your life worse than death."
These words made Lu Xiucai tremble, and the bloody images that came to his mind made him unable to swallow the meat in his mouth.
Bai Lingmiao leaned his head against the car window and looked at Lu Xiucai below, "Are you unwilling to be so useless? I have a way for you to practice your magical powers. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Xiucai raised his head and looked at Bai Lingmiao. He recalled in his mind the way the blind man easily took someone's life that night, and nodded vigorously. "good!"
"Who are these stinky bitches looking down on? What do you mean by being worthless! I just don't appreciate my talent! As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely become more powerful than Li Huowang!!"
