Chapter 28
Although Jiang Xin was a bit cold-hearted, seeing such a scene made her feel uncomfortable. Seeing the boy being whipped three times, Cao Xinzhi asked Cao Xinzhi how the two brothers and sisters were sold, and then turned around and went to other stalls to check , seems not to care about the appearance of the two brothers and sisters.

Although there is compassion in his heart, he can't show it on his face. These people who trade in human beings have sharp eyes, and if they see it, they may just sit on the ground and raise their prices.

Jiang Xin has already made a plan in her heart, to buy twenty children between the ages of five and eight, who can speak and take care of themselves, and preferably without parents.

Such people have fewer entanglements, and avoid being threatened by relatives.

In addition to the twenty children, Jiang Xin also bought four thick and well-built women to serve as rough envoys, and two tall and thin middle-aged men to watch the door and drive the car.

Jiang Xin bought a lot of people, so many vendors came forward to chat and sell their goods. Jiang Xin had a cold face, and his eyes were indifferent.

Quickly bought a good guy, Cao Xinzhi rented a carriage and took everyone to the bathhouse, Jiang Xin and Hei Doudou went to the real estate dealer, looked at two houses, and rented a remote one near the city gate a courtyard.

After picking up Cao Xinzhi, it was a completely new group of people, all of whom were wearing coarse cloth and new padded jackets. The children's heads were all bald, regardless of gender, the thick woman and the two boys had their hair cut short and wrapped their heads in turban cloth. .

It's not that Jiang Xin has any baldness, it's that these people have stayed in the population market for too long, and there are lice and fleas on their bodies. There is really no other way for these things except to shave their heads and apply lotion. If they are not dealt with in time, The other children who would be infected, and even the teacher who came to teach had lice and fleas on them.

After the children were sent to the yard, Cao Xinzhi and Heidou drove out to buy together, and Jiang Xin directed the children and six adults to start cleaning the yard.

This courtyard is very large, covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, with ten houses. Looking at the size of the house, boys and girls live separately, and four women live together.The two men live together.

After cleaning up here, Cao Xinzhi and Heidou came back with a cartful of things.Everyone started to unload things in a hurry, and the grocery store also delivered a cart of purchased things.

Once everything was moved in, the yard suddenly came alive and the children had smiles on their faces.

With a cold face, Jiang Xin asked the children's ages, names, and then began to sort them. The children came from all over the country. Because they were sold all the way to Liaodong, the quality was not good. They were all skinny and skinny like monkeys. head.

Jiang Xin faced a row of boys and began to arrange the numbers from big to small: "Zero zero one, zero zero two, all the way to the youngest zero two ten on the girl's side."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xin said: "Remember your number, when you are 14 years old and can start working, you will have a new name, understand?"

Children, you look at me, I look at you, and then whispered: "Understood."

Jiang Xin nodded: "I have enough food today, go to bed early, don't make noise, I will explain some rules tomorrow, and ask my master to teach you how to read and abacus."

The children were stunned. The oldest of these children was eight years old. His family named him Niuwa. He was sold all the way from the central Shaanxi area. His parents died, leaving him with his younger brother, uncle and The aunt's family was unable to support them, so they sold themselves, maybe they could have a way out.

The younger brother was only four years old, and because he was young and innocent, he was bought by the palace people. Because he was old, he was afraid of dying after the operation, so he followed the traffickers all the way to Liaodong.

He has seen too much filth in the world, and he has no hope for this world.They have a carload of children, the fair and beautiful ones are the most pitiful ones.Sometimes they are sold again, and those who can come back alive will die after a while.

After this year, he went from hope to despair. He originally thought that in Liaodong, at his age, he might be bought by a black coal mine to work as a coolie, but he didn't want to be bought by an indifferent woman in a black robe.

They were terrified along the way, but they didn't want to, they just took a bath, shaved their heads, and put on clean and thick padded jackets, as if they had entered heaven.

Just now they each drank a bowl of thick multi-grain porridge and ate a vegetarian steamed stuffed bun. At that time, he thought that even if he died after eating this meal, he would have no regrets.

But they don't want their master to find a teacher to teach them literacy and abacus?
Looking up at the sky, now it is not called Niuwa, but a child numbered zero and one, thinking that he is already dead, and then he has reached the Paradise of Paradise that the old people said?
On the way, Jiang Xin and Hei Doudou said: "Tomorrow you will also start learning how to read and abacus with those children."

Hei Doudou curled his lips, a little repelled, but he also knew that he was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head.

Black Doudou has no guides and identity documents. As long as it is in the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone must be registered, and the family cannot take in strangers casually. If you want someone to stay overnight and earn some accommodation and meal expenses, you have to Report to the security chief, and the security chief will guide the identity documents for registration.

But Jiang Xin and the others now live in a ten-household joint insurance company, and the head of the insurance company is a neighbor. When they went to register, they found out that Hei Doudou was a black household and had nothing.

The child said that he ran away from home without taking anything, but he just didn't want to go home and stayed at Jiang's house.

It was because he wandered around on New Year's Eve and smelled that the food in Jiang's courtyard was particularly delicious. He felt that people who could make delicious food should be kind.

Such a lame reason could not convince Jiang's family and Qin's father, but he didn't want to, Qin Lang actually asked to keep him, and after going out for a while, he got back an identity document and a guide named Hu Minjun.

This made Hei Doudou live at home, and Jiang Xin didn't know what Qin Lang was thinking, but this guy had always had his own plans, and she didn't bother to ask, except for a period of time when she found out that it would be nice to have more than one Heidou Dou at home Yes, this kid is diligent and winky, and usually helps to take care of the two children, and is often more reliable than Jiang He.

From the next day, Jiang Xin took Cao Xinzhi back and forth to the courtyard, and at the same time went to Xu Zhixian's place with Qin's father to check some information about the army.

Jiang Huimin, who was far away in the capital, got the news that the mission had failed.

Jiang Huimin looked angry, spent 5000 taels, the task failed?Isn't this "Thousand Machine Pavilion" invincible?
How can a small task fail?What are you eating?A bunch of trash eaters!The annoyed Jiang Huimin couldn't control her temper, and threw the tea bowl on the ground. The steward who bowed to apologize, narrowed his eyes, but Jiang Huimin, who was burning with anger, didn't notice it.

 The epidemic situation in Xi'an is a bit serious. The building of our company was not sealed, but a restaurant downstairs was sealed, and I was a little nervous.Well, everyone, pay attention to the protection work.
