Chapter 73 Who is Cicada?
Su Qingqing's big green cow had a good meal in the government office. Not long after entering the market, it pulled out a big lump of rice cake, which instantly attracted a few children who were specialized in picking up cow dung.

Even the county town is not much different from Daya Town in this respect. It can be seen that the people are living very hard.

Su Qingqing glanced at the group of children, and her usually cold face showed a trace of pity.

Fortunately, she lived in modern China when she was a child. If she had been in the Tang Dynasty, she would have been one of these children picking up cow dung.

No, maybe worse.

Her eyes looked at the bustling high platform on the other side of Fangshi, and her expression suddenly changed.

There are people selling people there, and there are all kinds of people, including Kunlun slaves of all kinds, ragged Silla maids, half-clothed Shaomin girls, children in cages...

Su Qingqing saw a man with a big belly putting his greasy hands on the girl of unknown ethnicity, evaluating her as if inspecting goods, and suddenly felt that the food he had just eaten was about to come out.

Nanman Lingnan Road is indeed quite barbaric!
Even during the Tang Dynasty, the only place where human trafficking was so rampant was Lingnan Road.

Su Qingqing turned her head, not wanting to look at that piece anymore.

The wind suddenly blew, blowing the gauze curtain under her hat, revealing her cold and pretty face.

This startling glimpse made waves in the hearts of those who saw it.

Among them was a man from the field who was wearing baggy clothes, with a crooked bun on his head, and straw shoes on his feet. He stared at Su Qingqing's leaving back with his eyes.

"Jinbao, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" Someone pushed him with his arm.

"I just saw a very familiar lady..." That person said with a face full of memories, but it was Song Jinbao who was almost sold by Su Qingqing when she first came to Datang.

The people on the side laughed loudly: "You are a street kid, any pretty girl will look familiar!"

Song Jinbao's head suddenly flashed and he suddenly said: "It's her! It's the little bitch who set the fire!"

"Ah, you're talking about the man who burned down your woodshed a month ago and then escaped?"

"Yes, that's her!" Song Jinbao spit out the straw in his mouth with a "poof", "Let's go, let's follow her. We will sell her at a good price this time and pay for my house!"

They appeared here because they had just made a deal, and by chance, they bumped into Su Qingqing.

At this time, Su Qingqing didn't know anything about the little tail appearing behind her. There was so much traffic in the city that if she hadn't paid attention, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Seeing the unappetizing scene just now, Su Qingqing's interest in visiting Chengfang City, a small county in the Tang Dynasty, was greatly reduced. She went to a shoe store to buy a few pairs of black Liuhe boots, and then went to a pastry and fruit shop to buy a few items. Dried fruit, and then took Xiaoman with him, got on the bullock cart and left Fangshi.

Song Jinbao and a group of five others used the familiar terrain to hide their figures and followed quietly.

"Today is buy one, get two free. We have a beautiful girl and a cow. Our clan is short of cows!" said someone with Song Jinbao's group in a sly tone.

The gazes that several people looked at Su Qingqing turned into fiery gazes as if they were looking at their own money bags.

There is no need to check when leaving the city gate, but if it is not horses or carriages (in Tang law, those riding horses and carriages are nobles), you have to get off the car and walk over. In this era of the Tang Dynasty, there was a clear hierarchy.

Su Qingqing led the big green bull out of the city gate, looked at the horses whizzing past her, and once again thought about buying a horse.

In fact, with the good things she got in exchange for it now, it would not be difficult to go to the horse and carriage shop to buy a carriage and then a horse.

At this time in the late Tang Dynasty, carriage and horse dealers only wanted to make money, and they would not check whether you were qualified to buy horses. Rich merchants had already become part of the local upper class through marriages, bribes and other means.

This is different from the early Tang Dynasty, which suppressed businessmen more severely.Of course, ordinary small businessmen, just like ordinary people, cannot jump.

In the late Tang Dynasty, extortionate taxes were very serious, and commercial taxes were also very heavy. Small businessmen and foreign businessmen without fixed residences had no better life than ordinary people.

Su Qingqing, who walked up the official road and away from the county seat, once again lay down in the bullock cart, covering her face with a curtain hat.

At this time, the sun has hung in the western sky, almost touching the earth, and the earth has become golden.

The big green bull seemed to know that it was getting late and started jogging.

"Xiaoman, let's continue learning songs."

After lying down for a while, Su Qingqing sat up again.

It’s not time to show off, she’s still going back to modern times to kill everyone!It’s time for a legend about “that spring, talent defeated capital.”

Su Qingqing wanted to learn, so Xiaoman couldn't help but teach.

She had already seen through today's exchange of supplies that Mrs. Su was of great importance to Mr. Zheng in their house.

Two beautiful girls riding a bullock cart just learned to sing, enjoying the wind and scenery all the way.

On the official road from the county town to the township, there are many people leaving the city. Without special training, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the malicious stalkers among such a group of people driving cattle, donkeys and carrying burdens.

Song Jinbao and his friends had a broken donkey cart, which followed Su Qingqing's ox cart not too far away, not conspicuous at all.

It was just that the mantis was chasing the cicada and the oriole was behind. Neither group of people knew that behind them there was a swordsman riding a horse and holding a sword, staring at them slowly.

This person was sent to the city gate by Zheng Tian, ​​and his order was to escort Su Qingqing home.The mountain trail on Lingnan Road is not a very safe place.

In any mountain forest you pass, savages who are short of food and clothing may emerge.Bandits are suppressed every year, but they are not completely eliminated every year.

After passing through Daya Town, the number of people on the official road gradually became sparse.

Su Qingqing's suffering since childhood made her more sensitive than ordinary people, and she noticed eyes with evil thoughts.

"Xiaoman, hold on tight, speed up."

In order to test whether it was true or not, Su Qingqing took a hemp rope and gently spanked Daqing Niu's butt.The big green bull got the order and spread its hooves and ran wildly.

When Song Jinbao and others behind him saw this, they immediately whipped their donkey buttocks and followed up to speed up.

Su Qingqing tilted her head slightly, looked over from the corner of her eye, and soon discovered the hateful face.

As I said before, Su Qingqing has a very good memory, especially for faces. Whatever she sees, she will not forget it for several years.

It was even more impossible for her to forget the faces of Song Jinbao and his wife.

The big green oxen carried the ox cart and ran all the way, passing the boundary of Yaliao Villa in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Because their speed was so fast, the people on the donkey cart behind knew that they had been discovered.He chased after him openly and openly, threatening and cursing indiscriminately.
