Chapter 6 Crow

Tang Zhao and Sui Feng were shocked and angry, Tang Zhao was still full of astonishment.Sui Feng looked at the big men all over the floor, took Tang Zhao back, and said, "Are you kidding me?! You... what are you doing?"

He glanced at the chains on those children, thinking: Is it kidnapping by thieves?This time can be careless.Why don't so many people chop us into minced meat?
The fat man seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Look at this kid, he treats you as bandits."

The crowd roared with laughter, and someone stood up and said: "Open your eyes wide and look, this is Mr. Bao from the dentistry shop, a serious official. It is for your own good to ask you. Seeing how poor you are, you must be If there is no next meal after eating, why not sell this doll to Master Bao, so that both of them can have a full meal."

Only then did Tang Zhao realize that it turned out to be a human tooth.

He looked at the group of children who looked like puppets, and a sentence flashed in his mind:

The foot and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed even if they are innocent!

Sui Feng was somewhat relieved to hear that it wasn't a thieves.Official teeth are legal teeth after all, even if they are used to buy and sell people.

He made a bow first, and said: "I have seen the master. We... the master and the servant passed by here and wanted to rest. I didn't expect this place to belong to you, so we will leave now."

He bit harder on "Master and Servant", and Master Bao naturally understood what he meant, squinting his eyes and said: "Why, is this kid a young master? So you can't sell him. Well, this kid, yourself Will you buy it for me?"

Tang Zhao just felt incredible, and said, "How could I sell it to you?"

Master Bao laughed and said: "Look at your appearance, you have just been down for a few days, right?"

Tang Zhao was at a loss for words.

Master Bao said: "I've seen you like this a lot. Once a bad disaster happened, so many families were ruined, so you can't be a master or a lady. Now you have not been poor for a few days, and you can still eat simple food. The stock is high. But, after a few days when you can't even afford soup, you will know that having something to eat is better than anything else."

He casually grabbed a thin little girl from behind, and said: "Look at this girl, she is so thin, so her background is not necessarily worse than yours."

The girl was about eight or nine years old, with a yellow and thin face, only a thin layer of unlined clothing on her body, except for a felt hat on her head, which covered most of her hair, only showing the messy black hair at the back of her head.She was shaking into a ball, and the iron chains under her feet rattled.

The fat man opened the girl's mouth with his hands, twisted her teeth like picking animals, and said: "The teeth are leftovers from bones, and the leftover hair is leftovers from blood. Look at this good hair, it's worth a few taels of silver if you cut it off and sell it alone. Look at this mouthful of glutinous rice with fine teeth, white and even. Didn't someone who grew up eating fine grains have such teeth? Don't look thin, the bones are not crooked, and she is a beautiful embryo after two days of full food. Just such a girl, The price of a bag of noodles."

Tang Zhao stared at his finger with a jade wrench, poking back and forth on the girl's face and neck, as if the other party was poking her own throat.

The fat man laughed and said, "But I know the price is too high. It wasn't her family who sold her. I don't know that someone on the road with some strength snatched her up and sold her. There was no money in the deal, and a handful of rice was considered a profit for him. Who told me to be kind? A bag of noodles is enough, and I will send this girl to the gate of the house. If she stutters, she will be counted as a living. Don't think she is afraid of me now. When she understands it, she will give it to her. I kowtow to thank you."

Tang Zhao said nothing, just stared at his hand.

"Actually, it's considered lucky for her to meet me. The master is an official, and he comes from a high-ranking family. They are all good people who don't lack food and clothing and are not afraid of disasters. If you send them in, you will have something to eat. People like her, you can still eat." Someone like you who is well-born and sensible may still have a future. Especially if you are a boy, if you meet that family who has no heirs, you may change your body and become the young master again. When you are in poverty, you will never know Wherever it falls, if you sell it to your servant, you don’t know if I have such kindness.”

Hearing that he was dragging him, Sui Feng suppressed his anger, went up to salute and said, "Master, this is your place, we are not worthy to stand anymore, we are leaving." After saying that, he pulled Tang Zhao to leave.

Master Bao suddenly said: "Wait a minute—boy, why do you keep looking at my hands?"

Tang Zhao's original expression was full of anger, sadness, forbearance, and entanglement, but at some point, it turned into bewilderment.

He was staring at the fat man's hand before, but he just couldn't bear to look at the girl's face, looking at something to distract him.The fat man's hands were short and thick, and they kept shaking, so they were naturally easy to see.What's more, his hands are full of shining jewelry rings and jade finger rings, which make people dizzy.

Gradually, his attention was on the jade wrench.

Jade is of course a good jade, white with blue in it, crystal clear and moist, especially clear under the light.

But there was a deep crack on such a precious jade finger.

Like the crack in the lock of his longevity.

But it's the same crack, this one is much more beautiful, it's not straight, but bent and turned back, connecting end to end, forming a back shape.

That is definitely not a carving, because it cracked into the jade, revealing the cross section of the jade.

Tang Zhao didn't know why he could see clearly.

In fact, his eyesight is not good, and reading since he was a child has gradually made his eyesight a bit difficult to use. It is not easy for him to distinguish the colors at this distance, but he can see clearly, even the line of the pattern, and the inner side of the jade crack. The texture of the wall.

After two more glances, his eyes were blurred, and suddenly a large shadow appeared in front of him, as if it was about to hit his face.

He took a step back almost instinctively, and at this moment, he heard the fat man asking, "Boy, why do you keep looking at my hands?"

Tang Zhao was still in shock, and said, "What?"

The fat man said word by word: "Do you think the finger wrench on my hand looks good?"

Tang Zhao frowned, and said, "There's nothing to see."

The fat man said: "Does it look like it's cracked, isn't it top grade?"

Tang Zhao turned his head and said, "I didn't see anything, your honor misunderstood."

Seeing the other party's face change, Sui Feng felt apprehensive, and pulled Tang Zhao back.

The fat man stood up and shouted: "Stop, what did you say you saw?"

Sui Feng stopped talking, grabbed Tang Zhao, turned around and ran away.

The fat man shouted, "Chasing after me."

All the men around him were hired by him. He was laughing at the fat man teasing the children, and felt that Master Bao had no intention of robbing him, so he didn't wait for anyone. Unexpectedly, the boss suddenly turned his face and got up one after another.However, the room was small, and they huddled around the stove to eat wine, and their movements were uneven and quite slow for a while.

The fat man didn't wait for them to get up, and rushed to the door in a few steps, waving his thumb.

Suddenly, a large mass of dark shadows surged out, splashed out from his hand, in groups, like ghosts passing through the territory in the dark night.

That's a flock of crows!
fluttering--

The sound of flapping wings was like raindrops, and the flock of crows was so fast that they rolled out like a flood.

If you look closely, the outlines of those crows are blurred, and the edges almost gradually melt into the night. They seem to be just a group of shadows, but the shadows rubbing against the night sky still make a piercing flapping sound.

While Tang Zhao was running, he heard a change behind him, and when he turned around, he saw shadowy crows overwhelming the sky.

Sui Feng followed and turned around, where has he seen such a scene?The eyes of countless crows glowed red in the night, and the densely packed stars almost frightened him dumbfounded.

Tang Zhao's mind also went blank for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly had a thought, and the longevity lock in his hand was opened, and the crack was facing the opposite side!
white light flashed—

boom--

A crow sprinted and hit an invisible wall in mid-air, making a loud noise, shaking its body, and disappeared into black smoke.

Immediately afterwards, there were endless crackling sounds, and countless crows crashed into the wall, making a sudden sound of hailstones falling to the ground. The crows exploded and turned into thick black smoke, gradually connecting into one piece, like a ball in the dark night. Dark clouds blocked all sight.

The big man chasing behind saw this situation as soon as he came out, they were all dumbfounded, how could they dare to approach?

After a while, the dark clouds dissipated slightly, and everyone could gradually see clearly.

The deserted village was empty, not to mention people, even the parked donkey carts were gone.

Several burly men looked at each other and asked, "Master Bao, do you think you want to chase after him or not?"

Master Bao's expression was tangled, it was pity and fear, and he sighed: "What are you chasing? So what if you catch up? I didn't expect that I would miss it. This is really the young master of a big family. It’s a treasure, maybe there’s something in it, I can’t move it. Forget it, it’s a pity that it’s a thousand taels of silver.”

The big men were surprised: "He has a thousand taels of silver on him? Can't tell. Could it be gold? This kid is running fast with a few catties of gold."

Master Bao snorted, "Who said he has a thousand taels of silver? I mean he alone is worth a thousand taels of silver."

Seeing the unbelief of all the big men, Master Bao said: "People are different. In this world, even the gods are worthless. We worked hard and risked to get people out of the Fire Demon Cave, and sent them all the way. Why do you come here? It’s not for the sake of the nobles. One is worth ten, and you can earn dozens of taels. But some people are born worth that much, and they will become more and more valuable in the future. One thousand taels of silver is said to be less. "

"It's a pity, I shouldn't earn this money after all, let's go back."
