Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 13 Pit Depth 005m Thin Horse (1)
Mo Jiu has never done heavy physical labor in his life, so how can he be the opponent of two strong men?Seeing that Aunt Lan was knocked unconscious on the ground because of her low appearance, Mo Jiu gave up her resistance, and they dragged her into a remote yard near the river bank, where she and the little girl were tied to a bald tree stump.

"People in this world are so indifferent."

Sitting on the uneven ground, Mo Jiu hadn't fully adapted to the rhythm yet, thinking of Xiao Xiao made his teeth itch.She looked around the dilapidated yard, and glanced at the sobbing little girl.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl raised her head, "My name is Li Xinmei, my mother always calls me Meier..."

Thinking of her mother, her teardrops fell down again. Her pretty face, which was no bigger than a slap, and her childish voice, which was still tinged with milk, successfully aroused Mo Jiu's compassion.

"Why did these people arrest you?"

The little girl bit her lower lip, "My father sold me to them as a skinny horse."

Hearing this word for the second time, Mo Jiu was still confused: "What the hell is a skinny horse?"

The little girl didn't seem to understand much, "When I grow up, I can be ridden..."

Mo Jiu's face was as red as blood, not from embarrassment, but from anger.She still doesn't know much about the human flesh trade of "breeding skinny horses", but she probably knows that the unscrupulous businessman bought the little girl to train and do illegal business.

"Wicked! This kind of bastard deserves retribution."

At this time, the courtyard door opened.The man who arrested her greeted an old man who was fifty years away, walked not far in front of her, pointed at her, smiled all over his face, and spoke a language she could not understand.Judging from his wretched look like a pimp, he was trying to sell her and the little girl.

The old man stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction, and went out.

Not long after, someone came to pick them up, their hands and feet were still bound, and they were thrown into the closed carriage again.It was dark in front of her eyes, and strangely quiet in her ears. Mo Jiu had the mentality of "if you come, you will be at ease", but she was calm, but Mei'er who was leaning on her was trembling like chaff.

"Mo Jiu, Mo Jiu, I'm afraid..."

Mo Jiu rubbed against her body, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mei'er was startled, and her voice was slightly pleasantly surprised, "Do you have a solution?"

Mo Jiu said seriously, "I am prettier than you."

Meier: "..."

Mo Jiu smiled lightly: "There is danger, and it was me first."

"Shut up! Be honest!" There was an unpleasant yelling from outside the carriage, and when they calmed down, the two guys driving the carriage chatted with each other talking and laughing.Mo Jiu pricked up his ears, but due to the language barrier, he couldn't understand a word.

It seems that learning a foreign language is very necessary.

She was laughing at herself when Mei'er rubbed her arm.Squinting over, he saw that the little girl seemed to have something to say.Mo Jiu moved her body lightly, lowered her head, and Mei'er really put her mouth close to her ear, and said in a low, depressed voice, "They said they were going to send us to the other side of the river and sell us to the Piao people..."

Mo Jiu was taken aback, and bit her ear back, "Can you understand what they say?"

Mei'er nodded, and let out a "hmm" like a mosquito.

Mei'er is a native of Nanrong, why can she understand the Chinese dialect?
Before she asked, Mei'er said again: "But they dare not..."

Mo Jiu asked, "Why?"

Mei'er said: "They suspect that you are mentally ill, and they are afraid of hurting the nobleman."

"..." Mo Jiu couldn't bear such serious personal attacks.She kicked on the carriage to protest, but she heard Mei'er gritted her teeth and moaned, "Mo Jiu, you elbowed me." She suffered more beatings than Mo Jiu, with multiple injuries on her body, the pain was probably unbearable , called out.
