Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 123 Locked in a Dark Room

Zhang Jinlan counted out twenty copper coins from the purse around her waist and handed them to Ma Chunxia.

"Wow, you really gave me some. Okay, I won't count them. I trust you. You go ahead and do your work. I'll take Liwen and the others to the foot of the mountain to cut some bamboo."

Ma Chunxia was also sleepy.

But when she saw the copper coin, she instantly perked up.

I wish I could work from morning to night.

This is twenty cents.

The two sons could not earn that much in a day by doing odd jobs in the town.

They can easily earn twenty cents by making bamboo tubes at home.

If I do it during the day, wouldn't I be able to earn at least thirty cents a day?

Think of this.

Ma Chunxia was extremely excited.

I feel full of energy.

"Well, let's go."

Zhang Jinlan waved her hand.

Ma Chunxia left quickly with her two sons.

But I forgot to take the bamboo basket.

But it’s okay, it’s close anyway.

Almost every household can weave bamboo baskets, and she has several at home.

at the same time.

In a house in the town.

Sun Lai Di and Sun Si Mei, who were sold to human traffickers, hugged each other tightly.

They were kept in a dark room without windows.

There were seven or eight children inside.

There are men and women.

All ages.

"Sister, I'm afraid."

Sun Simei could no longer cry.

The tears have long dried up.

Her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Sun Lai Di is not much better.

Her forehead was red because she kowtowed too hard to her grandma.

"crunch-"

The door of the dark room was suddenly opened.

A man in black walked in from outside.

He was carrying a bucket.

Sunlight poured in through the door.

The two sisters, who hadn't seen the light for a long time, were so shocked that they couldn't open their eyes.

"You are a bunch of bastards. If you keep crying, I will starve you to death. Come and get your meal if you think it through. After you finish your meal, learn the etiquette. If you do something that embarrasses us when the noble is selecting you, I will not forgive you—"

The pawnbrokers not only sold houses and land, but also slaves and maids.

But they are all legal transactions.

The slaves inside were basically official slaves sent by the government and poor people who sold themselves into slavery.

If someone complained to the government, they would say that they were forced to be sold to the pawnbroker.

The dental clinic will be in trouble.

Most dental shops won't take on this kind of troublemaker. It's not worth it for such a small sum of money.

So a gray industry was created.

Human teeth.

They didn't have any shops, so they used private homes as pawnshops.

All the slaves purchased were indentured to death.

If you don't obey, you'll be beaten.

Only hit the body, not the face.

There are various ways to make them surrender.

Many wealthy families like to buy slaves from human traffickers.

"I want to go home, let me go home, woooo, woooo, I want to go home..."

The man finished speaking.

A boy of seven or eight years old was crying pitifully.

But the man showed no mercy.

He glared, put down the barrel in his hand, walked quickly forward, and kicked the boy unconscious.

"This is the fate of fools. Your indentures are in my hands. You can't go back. Home? Haha, you have no home. After I teach you the etiquette, you will be sold to various places. If you are smart, you can please your master and have a full meal and get some reward money.

The lucky ones may be released from slavery and marry. It all depends on your luck! But if you are stupid, if you offend me, you will only be beaten. If you offend your future master, I am afraid you will lose your life! Think about it yourself."

After the man finished lecturing, he began to distribute the food.

Said it was rice.

It was just half a sour coarse flour bun per person.

There are no side dishes.

After sending.

He closed the door of the dark room and left with the barrel.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

Sun Simei grabbed the steamed bun with her little hands. She swallowed her saliva but didn't dare to eat it.

"Eat."

Sun Lai Di had completely given up hope of going home, and she looked at the boy lying on the ground.

Holding my sister's hand.

Signal her to eat quickly.

The steamed buns were very choking. Not only were they cold and hard like rocks, they also stung my throat.

The sour smell proves that it has been left out for several days and has gone bad.

But Sun Lai Di didn't dislike it at all.

The food they ate at home wasn’t very good. The best meal they had ever had in their lives was at their grandmother’s house, and they had the candy given to them by their sister Fubao.

Thinking of this, Sun Lai Di sniffed.

"Hey, were you kidnapped too?"

A slightly older girl came over.

asked quietly.

"No, we were sold here by grandma."

Sun Lai Di shook her head.

Her eyes were cold, like an adult's.

"Oh, you are so pitiful, having such a grandma. My grandma died early and never tortured me, but my parents loved me. Who knows, they probably cried their eyes out at home, oh."

The girl held her cheek with one hand and tightly grasped the stale steamed bun with the other.

She sighed and continued, "By the way, my name is Fang Wanru, what are your names?"

"My name is...."

Sun Lai Di didn't want to say her name.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, lowered her head, and remained silent for a long time.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Are you hungry? This steamed bun seems to be rotten. You'd better not eat it. Be careful not to get an upset stomach."

As soon as Fang Wanru finished speaking, her stomach growled.

Her face felt a little hot.

"You'd better eat something, or you'll faint from hunger and that'll be terrible."

Sun Lai Di said coldly.

"Okay, I'll eat some then."

Fang Wanru was indeed very hungry, and she had been locked up longer than Sun Laidie.

I haven't eaten for two and a half days.

Just drank some water.

But he has been pampered since childhood.

She had never suffered such a torture before. She couldn't even eat the rotten steamed buns.

Just took one bite.

She vomited it out.

"I'll give it to you. I really can't eat it."

She handed the steamed bun to Sun Lai Di.

"Thank you."

Sun Laidie took it and thanked him.

"You're welcome. I'll just take a rest. I won't be hungry when I fall asleep."

Fang Wanru was quite free and easy. After being abducted, she never cried once and slept soundly every day lying on the straw.

Sun Lai Di glanced at her.

He turned his head away and continued eating the stale steamed bun.

At this time, Jiang's snack shop was already crowded with people.

The guests who couldn't wait bought meat patties and mung bean soup to take away.

Those who can wait can queue up and eat in the shop.

As for potatoes and sausages.

It’s sold out long ago.

Daily limit.

If you don’t come early, you won’t be able to grab a spot.

In the backyard, Jiang Fubao held a meat pie in his left hand, a spoon in his right hand, and lowered his head to drink mung bean soup.

In front of her was a large stool.

It just served as a small table for her.

My parents, grandma and aunts are all busy.

Only Jiang Fubao was extremely leisurely.

She took a bite of the meat pie and drank a sip of the cold mung bean soup. The peach tree was above her head, blocking all the heat for her.

She was wearing the new clothes that her grandma bought her some time ago.

There are two small balls on her head.

So cute.

With her chubby body and round face, no one would have thought that she was a child from a farming family.

"Mom, there's only half of the bamboo tube left. It's selling so fast. I thought I wouldn't be able to use it all."

Sun Pingmei glanced at the bamboo basket and muttered.
