I want to be a good minister

Chapter 153
Although Cen Xi complained, most of this complaint was due to the excitement of the system's first mission, and with the urge to start over to clean up his shame, he was already researching the characters quickly the next moment.

A large group of strangers, why did they take Cen Qing away? Cen Xi, who is used to researching topics, summed up two points from the mission.

First: Since they are strangers, to be able to know them must be through acquaintances. This acquaintance can no longer find anyone else, except for this uncle and aunt of Cen Xi, there is no one else.

Second: take Cen Qing away instead of snatching them away, so they must have some reason.

Cen Xi vaguely remembered that when he was sick, his uncle came to see him twice, and it was just for a look, he left after one glance, frowned after two glances, and left without saying anything , not to mention the meaning of saving.

Cen Xi looked at the little girl who was already asleep beside him, and suddenly remembered the sweet shadow from his previous life, but he didn't know how...

"Bang bang bang --" a rough knock on the door interrupted Cen Xi's silence, and then he heard a woman's voice outside the door.

"Knock on any door, just go in." This voice is not uncle's or someone else's, it's human -

Immediately afterwards, the door of this dilapidated thatched hut, which was as sparse as the teeth of an old man, was pushed open.

"The big one is about to die, and the small one is fine, take a look—" The uncle said directly without looking inside the room.

"Six years old is too young, and it will take a few more years of food." Among the people who followed in, there was also a woman with a hoarse voice, who seemed to be hesitant.

"Small is smaller, the younger ones are easier to train, don't underestimate the younger ones, but they can do it and take care of others." Auntie said immediately, as if she was afraid of others going back on her word.

After a few words, Cen Xi knew the purpose of the other party's visit. This was in the darkness, and no one saw Cen Xi who was already sitting on the bed. The lamp did not exist. Fortunately, it was not completely dark yet. , the leading man suddenly saw someone sitting on the bed.

"Scared—" The leading man was immediately taken aback, then took out a fire pocket, and lit the torch in his hand.

The dilapidated thatched hut immediately brightened up, reflecting Cen Xi's pale and bloodless face.

"Ah Jing, you're still alive—" The uncle trembled at the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Cen Xi's thin, bloodless face, she immediately gained courage.

"Uncle, what are you doing with so many people at this late hour?" Cen Xi glanced at the little girl who was hidden in the bed by him from the corner of his eye, then turned his head and asked coldly.

"Ah Jing, my uncle saw that you were dying of illness. Your younger sister is still so young, but how can she live? So she made the decision and told her to the Butcher Qin's house in the village to give the child a way to live." Seeing this, my uncle also agreed No more concealment, first of all, this Cen Jing has always been a frail scholar, and he is ignorant of other things besides reading, so he deliberately conceals the fact of selling.

Seeing that Cen Xi was silent, my uncle became more courageous.

"Ah Jing, my uncle comes to see you every day. Seeing that you are dying, Ah Qing is still so young. Once you leave, she will have nowhere to go. Just listen to my uncle. Ah Qing has found a good family. Don't worry about food or clothing, it will be good for the rest of your life." Although the uncle said on her lips, she had already scolded Cen Xi hundreds of times in her heart, and it was obvious that she was only venting her anger but not taking it in. Can't say a word, why can I sit up all of a sudden.

"Does Uncle want to sell Ah Qing to Butcher Qin's family?" Cen Xi was unmoved, but glanced at the man with a swollen face, Butcher Qin. I have also heard of the butcher's notoriety, and his stupid son knows it even more. He is 12 years old and is still naked in the mud ditch. Butcher Qin and his wife quarreled every three days and every two days. Butcher Qin wanted to get rid of this woman who couldn't give birth to a decent son many times, but that woman was also savage and savage. Compared to her strength, she was no better than Butcher Qin. Three, within two years, were tortured to death.

This is the good place my uncle said.

"Cen's family, what else can I say, I've given you all the money, what about the little girl?" Seeing Cen Xi's silence, the Butcher Qin couldn't bear it anymore, and looked at his uncle with impatience in his eyes.

"Over there—" Auntie pointed to the bulging quilt behind Cen Xi, and immediately said, the Butcher Qin was about to come up to snatch him.

Although Cen Xi wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, but it was a waste to use the stamina potion on an ordinary butcher, so it is better to avoid future troubles at this time.

"Wait—" Cen Xi coughed twice after he finished speaking, not entirely because of a itchy throat. Although the butcher Qin was reckless, Cen Xi's cough has not been a day or two. The country people know that this cough is severe for a long time. Once it is contaminated, it is not a good thing, so I stopped.

"My uncle is thinking about Cen Jing, but Cen Jing still has something to say." Cen Jing coughed twice, intentionally letting the spittle fly, and the few people who were close to him subconsciously gave way.

"Just ask my uncle to take care of Cen Qing in the future. She is only six years old and still young. She has only coughed for a few days. It has only been half a year. There is still hope. Since it was sold by the shadow, I always hope that it will be useful. No, I'd better ask a doctor to take a good look at it, and when I grow up, I'll be able to take care of things... Cough cough cough——" Cen Xi coughed a few more times on purpose.

"What, from Cen Er's family, didn't you say that the little boy is doing well?" The Butcher Qin quit immediately.

"It's good—" The two Cen's family were stunned, after all, they didn't care much about the two brothers and sisters in daily life, and they were about to go up to see Cen Qing behind Cen Xi.

"Uncle, don't come here. On weekdays, when you look at me, you have to walk around, knowing that my cough is contagious, and I know my uncle's kindness, but, the neighbors in this village, why don't uncles do it together?" It's a good thing, if the money is refunded, this Cen Qing will be a child bride-in-law for the Qin family, and the money will be used as a doctor for Ah Qing, and I, Cen Jing, will thank my aunt with great kindness—" Cen Xi said, and then To struggle out of bed.

When the butcher Qin heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, thinking that he had no intention of buying it, and pushed towards Cen Er's family.

"Cen Er's family, you are trying to cheat money, folks in the village, sell me the dying baby--" Butcher Qin quit, and immediately grabbed the Cen Er's family to refund the money, and the house immediately became noisy , Cen Qing was woken up.

"Brother, what's the matter—" Cen Qing raised his eyes and asked Cen Xi, followed by two coughs, although the voice was not loud, but everyone listened to their ears, and saw Cen Xi immediately go to cover the little girl mouth, I still don't believe it.

"Cen Er's family, you even lied to me, you are obviously dying, and you still want to lie to me."

"Ah, my miserable Ah Qing, it's my brother who killed you. If it wasn't for my brother's infection, you wouldn't have died—" Cen Xi suddenly opened his voice, apparently hearing that he couldn't sell it and cried out in sorrow, But as soon as he heard the word infection, Butcher Qin grabbed Cen's family by the collar and dragged them out of the house.

As soon as he saw someone going out, Cen Xi turned around, lay down, and pushed down Cen Qing who was looking up proudly.

"Ah Qing, go to bed early, tomorrow early, my brother will take you to the mountains earlier." Cen Xi patted Cen Qing's back comfortingly, and closed his eyes despite the commotion in the dark night .
