Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

The boy called Brother Xiaoyu said with an arrogant look on his face: "You can tell me what I want to tell you. You can give me a copper each!"

The other children looked at each other, bit their lips, and then, as if determined, each took out a penny from their wallet and handed it over.

Xiaoyu took them one by one with a smile. After collecting them all, he still shook his hands.

"Wait, let me buy a candy man first."

After saying that, he turned to point at Sun Wukong at the candy man stall and said, "Boss, how much does this cost?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "Three cents each!"

"Isn't it two cents?"

Xiaoyu frowned and questioned loudly. "Haha, what I just said was Zhu Bajie for two cents, and Sun Wukong wants to sell it for three cents!"

The stall owner said without changing his expression and his heart not beating: "Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, and he can conquer demons and monsters. Naturally, it is more expensive!"

Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, as if that made sense.

So, with a wave of his hand, he gave him three cents and exchanged it for a Monkey King candy man.

The children standing next to him all looked envious.

Xiaoyu held up the candy man, waved his other hand, and said with an air of dignity:

"Follow me and I'll tell you!"

As a result, a group of children jumped away from the candy man stall.

Zhong Chuchu stood not far away, seeing everything that just happened.

No!

Has "Journey to the West" become so popular?

Even the peripherals are out...

She still underestimated the popularity of this storybook.

Nowadays, unlike later generations, people have a wide variety of entertainment projects.

Therefore, the business of Huaben is so booming.

Seeing this scene, an idea to make money suddenly came to her mind.

She wrote the story, so she is the official one, okay?

In this case, it would be best for her to sell the peripherals of Journey to the West.

Thinking of this, she was a little distracted when she went shopping.

I was thinking about it all the way.

After shopping around, I bought a set of clothes for Dabao and Xiaobao.

I went to a jewelry stall and saw a pair of small silver locks that were very delicate, so I bought them together.

Just enough for two brothers, one for each.

There happened to be a forehead wiper on the stall, which was made of silk and satin, with colorful embroidery on the outside. The forehead was decorated with pearls and emeralds, which was a unique style.

After thinking about it, she decided to buy it together and give it to Mrs. Lin.

After walking around, her hands were already full of things. She looked for a place with few people and entered an alley, intending to put all these things into the Blue Star Bracelet.

She walked deeper into the alley and looked around to make sure there was no one around.

So, with a thought, she put everything in, just when she was about to go out.

Suddenly I heard a low struggling sound coming from behind a simple wooden door.

Zhong Chuchu's scalp went numb instantly. Could it be that she was kidnapped?

She almost subconsciously took out the electric baton from the Blue Star bracelet and held it tightly in her hand.

Reason told her that she should leave immediately, but curiosity drove her to look through the crack in the door.

At first glance, she was shocked to see what kind of horrific scene it was inside.

In a huge yard, iron cages half a person's height were placed neatly side by side.

There is a person locked in each iron cage.

Some had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were stuffed with black and dirty rags.

Some were put on clean clothes.

The cage is very small and can only accommodate one person. Since the height is less than one meter, except for some children, almost everyone can only sit on the floor.

Zhong Chuchu even saw several enchanting-looking women, their whole bodies almost covered with a layer of gauze, shivering from the cold.

The more she looked, the more frightened she became. Could this be the base camp of human traffickers?

After observing carefully for a while, I didn't see anyone moving inside.

Maybe the people being held in prison were very secure about this place and were not worried that these people would escape.

Seeing the plight of these people, she also wanted to save them.

However, he will never break in rashly.

Zhong Chuchu thinks that she does not have that strength.

After thinking about it, Magistrate Lu would not ignore it if this happened in Yuyang County.

She was going to return to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible and report the matter.

He carefully prepared to retreat, but unexpectedly, he was about to look back.

But she felt a line of sight following the crack in the door and falling on her.

Zhong Chuchu stopped her movements and looked inside according to her feelings.

I saw a woman covered in blood being held in a brand new iron cage.

The woman's face was covered by messy long hair, only a pair of dark eyes were exposed.

Her eyes were so cold that Zhong Chuchu couldn't help but shiver.

She saw tenacity, unyielding and indifference in this woman's eyes, but she did not beg.

Zhong Chuchu's heart trembled, but she suddenly backed away, and then hurried out of the alley.

It wasn't until she ran to the street that she realized there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

She could never forget those eyes and had no desire to continue shopping.

When she returned to the Lu Mansion, she immediately went to Mrs. Lu's yard.

Mrs. Lu was taking a nap in the house. When she heard the news from her servants, she hurriedly welcomed her in.

Seeing her pale face, she asked worriedly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhong Chuchu shook her head slightly, trying to get the scene out of her mind.

It’s just those eyes that I can’t get rid of.

She took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice: "Sister, does the law of our government allow human trafficking?"

She asked more tactfully, without directly mentioning what she had just seen.

Mrs. Lu looked her over and said calmly: "Of course it is allowed, otherwise, how could the servants and maids at home come here."

She picked up the tea cup in front of her, took a sip gracefully, and continued:

"But there are strict regulations on the sale of people. The trafficking of women and children is expressly prohibited. Once caught, it is a capital crime."

Zhong Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "Under what circumstances can it be bought and sold?"

As soon as this question came up, Mrs. Lu's expression changed slightly, but she still patiently explained: "I know of three ways. The first one is that family members and slaves who have committed serious offenses in the imperial court will be demoted to slaves by the government, and their deeds will be confiscated. Sell; the second type is some foreign captives, which can be sold; the third type..."

At this point, she paused before continuing: "It is allowed by law for parents to buy and sell their children."

After saying this, Mrs. Lu fell silent.

After hearing this, Zhong Chuchu was filled with emotion.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was quiet for a while.

After just a moment, she continued: "Does our Yuyang County have such a place?"

Mrs. Lu stared at her beautiful face, as if she suddenly understood something.

Yes, she probably wants to buy a few maids to serve her.

It is said that she has two children at home. She always goes out on weekdays, and it is inconvenient for her to have no one to take care of her at home.

How could I forget such an important thing?
