Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

It was dark at night before the sound of men talking could be heard in the village.

Li Yunshan came in with a chill all over his body. After warming up a little, he picked up the hot porridge on the clay stove and ate it.

Mao Xiaosui was not one of those people who refused to speak out when he was wronged. Even if he knew it was in vain, he still had to say it. It would be best to make Li Yunshan disappointed with the old lady.

So she deliberately exposed the bruises on her arms when she handed him water.

Li Yunshan saw it at a glance, and he didn't look away for a long time, just staring emotionlessly.

Mao Xiaosui felt uncomfortable after being stared at for a long time, so he shrank his neck and covered the injury.

Li Yunshan said nothing and put down the half-eaten porridge.

After sitting there for a long time, I asked, "Grandma pinched you?"

She responded in a low voice while observing his expression, adding fuel to the fire. "She wanted the piece of cloth she bought before. When I said I didn't have the key, she pinched me and hit me..."

Seeing that he still remained silent, Mao Xiaosui couldn't say anything more and reminded him, "Eat quickly."

Li Yunshan said "hmm" and picked up the bowl again.

She didn't take this matter to heart. When she got up at night, she found that Li Yunshan was lying awake. She asked in confusion, "Are you insomniac?"

Li Yunshan glanced at her and quickly responded as if he didn't understand.

When she finished climbing up, she saw that he had closed his eyes.

Going to the market on snowy days is common.

The road was quite steep, so Li Yunshan even took a shovel.

He opened the way in front, and the village women followed behind.

Wang Shuang's mother and daughter were also among them. There were many girls of about the same age in the village. Qi Yuzhen had recently visited her husband's family, so Lu Feng casually asked her.

Talking about marriage is not something that cannot be discussed. People in the village are not particular about it. Sometimes they will discuss which family is bad and which family is good.

Mao Xiaosui discovered very early that the girls here were basically being raised as tools to change wives for their sons.

Some people with good external conditions are naturally high-spirited and want a lot. They usually choose one or the other in terms of conditions. Most of them are rushing to help the family. If they can't find it, they will naturally have to marry when they are old enough.

For a fool like the original owner, it is a cheap deal. Except for very poor people, they will not want it at all. It is not unusual for it to be sold for four taels.

As for Li Yunshan spending money to buy her at that time, maybe he was short of a wife and thought she was not that stupid?

The snow had already fallen heavily when we arrived at the market. She usually had numb legs from squatting, but today she took two small benches.

Li Yunshan was still selling millet today. The two of them sat side by side, and Mao Xiaosui had to shout for him a few times.

Even if I'm wearing a thick cotton coat, it's still very cold sitting in the snow.

She looked toward the end of the bridge, thinking that the happiest place on this day was probably the stall selling sesame seed cakes.

She turned to Li Yunshan next to her and said, "Let's make breakfast next time and sit next to the sesame cake stall to keep warm."

"It's too early. Then we'll have to arrive at about the same time and it'll be dark."

"That's too early." She shook her head.

The fish at home have been sold out today, so there is only some food left. Next time I come, I will be selling soap nuts, millet and cabbage.

The business of soap nuts and millet is average, with less than a hundred sold in one morning.

She took the money and put the fish in the woman's basket. Just as she was about to sit down, she heard a noise at the other end of the village.

At first she thought it was some new thing from the market, but after listening carefully she found that this was not the case.

Quarrels were not uncommon in the market, so she didn't care. She took out the remaining six dried fishes in the basket and started shouting.

"How to sell it?"

asked a woman wearing a green winter skirt and a gray cloak.

"Six coppers."

The woman picked up the straw rope, looked at it, and said, "I want all of it."

"Thirty-six." Mao Xiaosui stretched out his hand.

The woman did not move. She squatted down and looked at the soap nuts in another small basket.

After smelling and rubbing it, I finally said, "It's better than the soap sold over there."

"How much do you want, little lady?"

"How to sell it?"

"Five for less than 20 copper coins, six for 21 to 30 copper coins, seven for less than 31 to 40 coins, and eight for more than 50 coins."

"It's a good deal. It can be used for a year. It's big and easy to wash."

"Bring me twenty."

The woman lowered her head and took out the money.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "That's not a good deal. If you buy it for twenty-one coppers, you can get more."

The woman was stunned by what she said, and soon laughed again, "You are quite interesting, little lady."

Mao Xiaosui giggled and quickly picked out one hundred and twenty-six, plus the thirty-six copper coins from the dried fish, a total of fifty-seven.

After counting the money, she handed the things over, smiled and said, "Come here often."

The woman responded with a smile and left.

She handed the money to Li Yunshan next to her.

Li Yunshan pretended and asked her, "Why did you remind her just now?"

Mao Xiaosui shrank his neck, "This thing is free, and not many people are willing to use saponins. She seems to be rich at first sight. If she comes to buy it again in the future, she will definitely come to me if I am so honest." this."

Li Yunshan didn't blame her, he just felt strange that no one else would have reminded her of this matter.

He just found it interesting. Seeing her shrinking her neck and looking like she was afraid of getting angry, he was inexplicably unhappy.

He reached out and pinched the back of her neck, "Don't shrink."

Mao Xiaosui stretched out his legs again, hit his legs that were numb from the cold, and muttered, "Her clothes are pretty."

Li Yunshan heard it and said without expression, "It's natural that he is good-looking in this town."

Women in the village wear skirts in summer, and pants in winter, which are bulky and ugly.

Thinking about her outfit, I guess it's not cheap.

After waiting for a while, there was really no business, and the two of them planned to go back.

Li Yunshan carried the remaining grains on his back, reached out and lifted the small basket of soap nuts and placed it on her back.

"Let's go." He didn't go towards home, but went to the other side.

Mao Xiaosui followed him and took a look inside when passing by a noisy stall surrounded by many people.

The crowd was surrounding a woman with a child. Next to her was a man, who must be her husband.

She didn't know what the group of people were doing around the family, so she didn't care and followed Li Yunshan.

Li Yunshan walked all the way to the village and finally stopped at a meat stall.

The boss is still the same man as before.

"Have a piece."

The man agreed cheerfully and lifted the knife into another large piece.

Based on last experience, there may be more than 200 people in this large piece. On the one hand, Mao Xiaosui felt that today's work was in vain, and on the other hand, he was greedy for meat.

"Two hundred and forty-three, I count you two hundred and four."

"Send a piece of suet." Li Yunshan lowered his head and took out the money.

"I sell suet for money." The man said so and cut a piece for him.

Li Yunshan ignored him and counted two hundred and forty to him.

When he took the meat and turned to leave, he realized that Mao Xiaosui hadn't moved.

He wondered "What's wrong?"

"Boss." Mao Xiaosui pointed to the pork liver on the table behind him and asked weakly, "Would you like to send it?"

When these words came out, both of them were stunned.

The man looked at Li Yunshan, and finally smiled happily, "I'll give it to you." Then he turned around, took the pig liver and threw it into Li Yunshan's basket, and winked at Li Yunshan, "You're an interesting bitch."

Li Yunshan said nothing, but there was an obvious smile in his eyes.

Mao Xiaosui was in a good mood after taking advantage. When he was far away, he asked, "Do you know each other?"

"That's right." He said, "His family raises pigs."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Then why did he send suet? I thought you saved his life."

Li Yunshan didn't understand what she was thinking, but he still said, "I saved the life of his pig."

"His pig had a difficult birth, so I delivered it."

"...Do you still understand this?"

"I don't understand. He was not there that day, and his mother-in-law was the only one at home. She had a big belly and couldn't do it. I encountered it when I went to buy suet."

"...Then you are...quite good at this...very good."

Li Yunshan smiled: "There are few people buying meat in these ten miles and eight towns. He only kills one animal every month, but there will still be some that cannot be sold. I sometimes give him game and fish, and it doesn't matter if I get some suet." .”

"You gave the fish you gave to him before."

Li Yunshan said "hmm".
