The new era strikes

Chapter 678 One life for another

Lu Tian originally thought that he would die aggrieved, but he had only been here for a long time, and he hadn't had a good look at the world yet, so he was extremely unwilling.

When he was in despair, a coolness gushed out of his body, which made his confused consciousness gradually wake up, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

However, he felt that his eyelids were still heavy, and it took a lot of effort to open his eyes, but all he saw were double images, his head was dizzy, and he didn't react for a while.

"you're awake!"

A gentle voice sounded, and Lu Tian found himself lying in an antique room, with a faint fragrance coming from his nostrils, and then he saw a beautiful figure.

This is a young girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in ancient green silk fir, slim, with black hair falling down, bright eyes and bright teeth, Lu Tian was stunned.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Feiyan blushed and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I was so amazed by your beauty, you must have saved me." Lu Tian apologized, without hiding it, and revealed the reason for his gaffe.

"Slick tongue!" Liu Feixue muttered, but she was still very happy in her heart, no woman would want to be praised for her beauty.

Lu Tian saw that this beautiful woman was very gentle, and the grace of saving his life made his feelings soar, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration.

He wanted to get up, only to find that he was weak all over, and there were bursts of severe pain in his chest, which made him moan involuntarily, which was very painful.

"Don't move yet, drink some porridge!" Liu Feiyan said softly, and asked people to prepare gruel, seeing that Lu Tian was fine, she got up and left.

She has been here for a long time, and there are still many things in other places that must be dealt with.

Lu Tian was a little disappointed, he hadn't had time to ask the other party's name, but he was not in a hurry when he thought that there would be another chance in the future.

Soon, a maid brought a bowl of porridge, which was made from boiled white rice. The rice was not too much, but the aroma still made his mouth water.

This is the instinct of the body, and it is not something he can control at will. He looked up and saw that the maid was young and thin, and she didn't dislike him as a beggar.

Seeing that Lu Tian couldn't move, the maid picked up the spoon next to him, and offered to feed Lu Tian the porridge without saying anything.

After a lot of wolfing down, if there were not so much, Lu Tian felt that he could eat a whole house. Although there was not much, his stomach was warmed up, and the tortured hunger was disappearing little by little.

He felt tears welling up in his eyes. He had finally survived. He had never felt that life was so beautiful.

"What's your name?" Lu Tian looked gratefully at the maid in front of him. Although she was not very beautiful, she didn't dislike him at all. After all, he was dirty and he was a beggar.

"My name is Xiaoya, are you okay?" Xiaoya was naturally timid, she glanced at Lu Tian, ​​and then hurriedly lowered her head.

"Thank you for feeding me the porridge. My name is Lu Tian. I don't know where this is?" Lu Tian smiled slightly and raised the topic.

"This is the Liu Mansion, you were rescued by two young ladies."

"They are my benefactors, but unfortunately I don't even know their names." Lu Tian sighed.

"The eldest lady's name is Liu Feixue, and the second lady's name is Liu Feiyan." Xiaoya replied happily without any suspicion.

"Thank you, if you hadn't fed me, I would still be hungry now."

"Are you also from the south?" Xiaoya looked at the rags on Lu Tian's body, as if thinking of something in the past, her eyes were slightly red.

"En." Lu Tian nodded, not knowing what to say, he only got some memories of the beggar, and he was very vague about those things before.

"I'm also from the south. I was sold here when the drought caused the famine." Xiaoya was about to shed tears when she thought about what happened back then.

"You are a miserable woman." Lu Tian sighed, this place is very similar to the ancient China, this kind of prostitution is very common, and it is nothing to say.

This is determined by the social environment. If this method is not used, the whole family will starve to death, but selling one person can give the whole family a chance to survive.

"Dong dong!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a male voice said, "Xiaoya, has he finished eating?"

Xiaoya hurriedly wiped away her tears, stood up from the bed and said, "It's over!"

"Then I'll tell the steward!" The person outside said, and then the footsteps moved away, apparently to report the news.

After a few breaths, several footsteps sounded, and then the door was pushed open, and three people walked in.

The two people in front led the way, bowed their heads, dressed as domestic servants, and behind was a middle-aged man, neither tall nor short, with an ordinary face, but he was wearing better clothes, with a confident face, and his status was much higher.

"Xiaoya, go down first!" The middle-aged man waved his hand to make Xiaoya retreat.

He sat directly on the chair and glanced at Lu Tian: "What's your name?"

"Lu Tian, ​​I don't know who you are?"

"I am the steward of Liu's mansion, my surname is Wang, you can call me steward Wang."

Lu Tian wanted to salute, but his chest injury was too severe, and the broken bones hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't get up at all.

"You don't need to get up, just lie down." Steward Wang pressed down with his hand, indicating that Lu Tian didn't need to get up.

"Steward Wang, are you here for something important?" Lu Tian didn't force himself, and took the initiative to ask, because he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"It seems that you are quite smart. I heard that you escaped from the south. What did you do before?" Steward Wang looked at Lu Tian, ​​frowned slightly, and asked intentionally.

"The boy was originally an ordinary family. He was planning to obtain fame, but a disaster happened. The whole family died and escaped. In the end, I was the only one left."

Sadness appeared in Lu Tian's eyes. This was his truth, and it was also some information left by this body.

"So, it's not bad that he's still a scholar. He doesn't need to be the lowest house slave." Steward Wang commented, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and looked at Lu Tian.

"Miss spent precious pills to save you. Originally, your life was not worth it. However, the two ladies are kind-hearted, and finally saved you."

As Lu Tian listened, he vaguely guessed something, and his expression became complicated.

"According to the usual practice, the lady saved you, and you belong to the lady, so sign this deed of sale!" Steward Wang was not polite, and threw the paper in his hand to Lu Tian.

"Write your name on it and press a thumbprint."

Lu Tian wanted to say something, but he sensed the coldness of the two house slaves next to him. He held back the words in his mouth, and signed his name with the pen in the room. It took a little blood to press a bloody fingerprint.

Manager Wang took back the contract with satisfaction, folded it up, and glanced at Lu Tian lightly: "It's still sensible, I will give you a week to recover, and I will arrange a specific job for you at that time."

After finishing this, he took two strong domestic slaves and walked away.

"So you sold yourself?" Lu Tian still hadn't realized it. He didn't expect that he would sell it out just after he saved his life.

"This world is really dark enough, isn't there a tradition of being helpful?"

Lu Tian complained in his heart that the deed of prostitution is very intimidating in this era, which means that the Liu family has the right to deal with him at will.

For this treatment, the lesser ones are beatings and scolding, and the older ones will not break the law if he is killed, and he will not take care of it.

"If you save me, so what if I give this life back to you, but this bond of sale is not enough, I have to find a chance to destroy it."

Lu Tian thought depressedly, he understands the customs here, saving a person is equivalent to taking his life, it is really a life for another life, but he does not want to be raised as a slave by others.
