Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 146 Buying People, Big Harvest (3)
The heavy rain lasted for two days and three nights. When the rain stopped on the third day, Zhang Xiaocao told her grandma and walked to the town alone!

When she came to a clothing store, Zhang Xiaocao looked left and right, and finally chose a blue men's suit, and immediately went into the dressing room to change, and asked the proprietress to give her a manly hairstyle!
After her dressing up, a handsome young man with bright eyes and white teeth appeared in the mirror. She looked at the mirror again and again, imitating the way a man walks, walked a few steps swaggeringly, felt that it was almost done, and unfolded A folding fan, shaking gently, with a faint smile on his face, he really looks like a handsome young man.

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, if she hadn't received this girl herself, she would have thought she was a little brother!
Seeing her stunned look, Zhang Xiaocao immediately became more confident. Now that no one would find out that she was a woman, she could let Lin Zhaoyuan take her on horseback in a fair manner, instead of being tossed about by boat.

When she was wearing men's clothing and walked all the way to Wangjiang Tower, many passers-by on the road turned their heads to look at her. This young man was so handsome!

Zhang Xiaocao ostentatiously arrived at Wangjiang Tower all the way, and immediately saw Lin Zhaoyuan and Le Lin sitting in the lobby waiting for her.

The two of them stared straight at her when they saw her outfit. If it wasn't for the fact that her facial features hadn't changed, they really thought she was Zhang Xiaocao's twin brother.

Seeing their surprise, Zhang Xiaocao smiled, Shi Shiran came over, sat down boldly, and made every move without the slightest bit of feminine coquettishness, looking like a very boy.

Lin Zhaoyuan came back to his senses, looked at it again, and said with a smile: "This is the method you said yesterday? It's really good!"

Zhang Xiaocao raised her chin arrogantly, shook the paper fan and smiled: "Of course! Can I have a bad idea?"

Lin Zhaoyuan's heart moved slightly, he didn't know how many sides this girl had!

Le Lin on the side was a little ashamed. She thought that Miss Zhang didn't want to ride with Mr. Lin because she was afraid that others would gossip and she felt embarrassed, but now it seems that there is no sign of embarrassment?

Zhang Xiaocao didn't know what was going on in his mind, so the three of them had breakfast at Wangjianglou, and then hurried on their way!

Because of the torrential rain, it is not as hot as before. Zhang Xiaocao looked around relaxedly all the way, only approaching the county town. When she saw scattered refugees walking towards the county town on the road, It's like a stone is blocked in my heart, and I can't relax anymore!
Lin Zhaoyuan noticed her abnormality, looked down and saw that her complexion was not very good, and comforted her in a low voice: "There is no way to do this! If they can get here smoothly, they have the hope of surviving! Don't feel bad, at worst, take more care this time." Some people go back, you treat them kindly, give them a place to settle down, they will always be able to get rid of their miserable fate, and live in peace forever!"

Zhang Xiaocao turned to look at him, nodded vigorously, with strong hope and confidence in her eyes, and said like an oath: "I will definitely create a prosperous pastoral that belongs to us, so that all those who work hard for it can live a stable life." In a healthy life, they will no longer suffer the pain of this catastrophe!"

Lin Zhaoyuan patted her head in relief, she is such a girl full of energy and surprises from time to time!

The three of them rode their horses all the way, and it took only an hour and a half to reach Linjiang County. This time Zhang Xiaocao chose to stay at the Linjiang Inn, while Le Lin returned to Yuefu.

Asked for an upper room and paid a deposit, the two came to the room, put down their things, had lunch, took a rest for a while, and planned to go directly to Wangjiang Tower to find Le Ting, but just as they walked to the door, they ran into someone in a hurry. Le Lin came here.

Le Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Miss Zhang, the master can't leave for a while, so the servant will take you directly to the Yahang, let you choose yourself, do you think you will go today or tomorrow?"

Zhang Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "Let's just do it today, finish the work earlier, and go back earlier. Both of us are here. If there is something wrong with the cotton field, they may not be able to stand it!"

Le Lin nodded, and said respectfully to Lin Zhaoyuan: "The master also told the servant that when he sees Mr. Lin, he asks you to go to Wangjiang Tower immediately, saying that he has something important to discuss!"

When Lin Zhaoyuan heard this, he frowned and looked at Zhang Xiaocao. He originally wanted to go with her, so as to help her pass the time, so as not to run into someone with bad intentions. There must be something big going on with Ke Leting, it would be bad for him not to go!
Zhang Xiaocao saw his embarrassment and worry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Le is here, so you don't have to worry!"

Lin Zhaoyuan glanced at Le Lin, and said: "Those people must be carefully selected, and they must not be fooled by those who deliberately pretend to be pitiful and harbor evil intentions!"

Le Lin nodded again and again, knowing that this was to make him look at Miss Zhang, fearing that she would be easily deceived if she was soft-hearted.

Zhang Xiaocao also knew it well, but felt that his worry was completely unnecessary, how could she be easily deceived!

After Lin Zhaoyuan left, Le Lin took Zhang Xiaocao directly to a dental firm named Mingji. Yuefu often had transactions with this dental firm, and it was considered a relatively reputable dental firm.

Remembering that before the tooth shop, I received the news that Yuefu was coming to pick someone up, and someone was already waiting at the door, seeing Le Lin reporting himself as his home, he quickly and enthusiastically welcomed him in.

As soon as the two entered, Zhou Ming, the owner of Mingji Dental Shop, greeted them, greeted each other a few words, and then led them directly to a small courtyard at the back. Those who were about to be sold were gathered in this room. A small yard for people to choose from.

Zhang Xiaocao looked at a hundred or so victims of different ages, with yellow and thin faces, and that bad feeling came back to her heart, but she still forced herself to look over.

Among these people, the oldest is about 60 years old, his eyes are full of vicissitudes and sorrows, the youngest looks only five or six years old, but he no longer has the innocence of children, and his big eyes are full of fear for the future!

This made her suddenly remember that when she first came to this world, she was so at a loss and had an inexplicable fear of the unknown future. She thought of a way to go back, even one night when everyone was asleep. , a person secretly ran to the Ning River to jump down and drown herself, to see if she could go back, but in the end, she didn't have the courage!
Zhou Ming enthusiastically told Le Lin the basic information of these people in detail, such as personality, specialty, etc. Le Lin kept smiling and did not speak.

What Zhou Ming said was a little dry, and he was also very anxious!Some of these people were bought from other places at a low price. He thought he could make a fortune. As a result, many victims suddenly flooded into the city overnight. Many victims sold themselves in order to survive. Don't need money, just give them something to eat so they can survive!

He also took the opportunity to collect some, but there were too many victims, and even if the big families needed it, they didn't want so much. As a result, he didn't sell a few people in his hands until now, and he had to give them every day. Give them food and drink, some have a fever and cough, and have to buy medicine to hang them. The money is poured in, but they don’t even hear a sound. If they can’t be sold, he plans to let these people go directly. When the Yuefu comes to pick people, no matter what, they have to make this big deal!
