The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

I actually felt a little fear in my heart.

Then he thought again and didn't take it seriously. No matter how strong he was, he was still a child.

What on earth did such a young child go through to become like this?

After all, she was a soft-hearted woman. Zhou Yue shook the image of the child stabbing people with a knife from her mind. Her maternal instinct burst out and she hugged him, trying to comfort him.

The child didn't expect the other party to suddenly reach out, so he immediately stretched out his arms and legs to struggle. The donkey cart didn't start yet, but the carriage began to shake.

Song Yuan quickly jumped off his horse. He thought that this lady had saved the child after all, so he should be polite to her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got on the car, a fight was about to break out.

Song Yuan lifted the curtain and saw an incredible scene.

I saw Zhou Yue holding the child and patting his back to comfort him.

The unruly child, however, now opened his slender eyes, curled up in Aunt Zhou's arms, looking at her chin, quietly and obediently.

Song Yuan was stunned.

This child has not been quiet since he woke up.

Let him eat, he fell down.

He was forced to drink medicine and almost choked to death.

He refused all approaches.

There was no other way, so he sent it to Aunt Zhou despite the long journey.

It is said that when chicks open their eyes, they will recognize the first living thing they see as their mother and follow it closely.

He also wanted to give it a try, thinking that since he was here to do some business, he might as well bring the child with him on the way.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that this child was destined to be with Aunt Zhou.

Song Yuan silently lowered the curtain of the sedan chair so as not to disturb the three people in the carriage.

After a while, the child fell asleep as the donkey cart swayed.

Qing Mo chattered with Zhou Yue about his shopping process and reported how much money he spent.

Song Yuan listened for a while, then rode forward to interrupt their conversation.

Through the curtain of the sedan chair, he said, "Aunt, I'd better tell you something about this child."

"Well, you said."

Qing Mo shut up.

“He may have been trafficked for some time and suffered a lot.

His body was covered with scars and he was traumatized, so he refused to speak.

But, he seems to be able to read.

Once, he wrote the word "Xu" on the ground with a branch. I thought, maybe his surname is Xu.

The imperial physician said that he was physically fine, but he had suffered severe mental trauma, so he refused to speak.

Judging from his appearance and the fact that he can write, he should be a child from a wealthy family.

But we searched all over Kyoto and couldn’t find his family.”

Zhou Yue listened silently, thinking in his mind.

If they are not from Kyoto, then they are even less likely to be from the remote north.

Then he might be from the South.

Song Yuan continued, "He has been tortured. The imperial physician said that judging from his bones and pulse, he should be six years old, but he looks only three or four years old. This is probably due to long-term undernutrition and abuse."

Zhou Yue gently lifted the child's clothes, and then he and Qing Mo both opened their eyes wide.

The child's body was covered with scars, big and small, new and old, crisscrossing each other, making it unbearable to look at.

Qing Mo's tears suddenly flowed out.

This child, at such a young age, has suffered so much, it's so pitiful.

She has younger brothers and sisters of her own. At home, if the adults hit her, or even if she falls, they would feel heartbroken for a long time.

Even if they make mistakes, I will not blame them, but just teach them slowly and softly.

Damn human traffickers, they must not die a good death.

"By the way, Mr. Song, what happened to that beggar who was as thin as a monkey?"

Zhou Yue wiped his face and asked Song Yuan.

"Oh, he's dead."

Xie Ping rode his horse silently behind his master. The monkey died, but before he died, he suffered a lot.

As a human trafficker, he was guilty of heinous crimes and had committed so many evil deeds that even dying ten times would not be enough to atone for his sins.

He also played a dirty trick on his master, so of course his brothers had to treat him well.

Skinning and digging out tendons are both good outcomes.

However, if the news of abusing prisoners gets out, it will bring bad reputation to the master.

This made it difficult for the master to get married, and even more so for the brothers. When they heard that he worked under Lord Song in the Dali Temple, they immediately scared the girl and made her cry, refusing to marry him no matter what.

These brothers are all single like their master.

I don’t know when the master’s spring will come, he is already twenty-six years old.

The master is not in a hurry, and they dare not be in a hurry either, because they have a lot to endure.

Seeing that Zhou Yue was tired of holding the child, Qing Mo signaled to her mother to let her hold the child for a while.

Zhou Yue readily followed suit and handed the child over to Qing Mo.

Then she lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at Song Yuan.

"Master Song, there is nothing else to do. Why don't we talk about how you plan to learn the triangle stranglehold and CPR?"

"I've thought about it for a while. Please listen and see if you have anything to add."

"Okay, tell me."

"I think that this is the busy farming season, and you are the main laborer of your family. The government has not given you a penny in compensation, so it would be a shame to delay your family's farming season.

In this way, you get up early every morning and teach us for an hour, and then we go to the fields to help you work for a day.

Don't worry about food and accommodation, you don't have to worry about it.

When we were capturing criminals, we, a group of rough guys, often had to spend the night in the wild, eat and sleep. It was common for us to go hungry and sleep in the wild.

I thought it would only take two or three days to learn how to do it. We brought enough dry food and a tent.

When the time comes, just give them some water to drink, and don’t worry about anything else.”

Wow, these ancient officials were really able to endure hardships.

"Okay, we'll make some tea for you. I don't have many rooms at home, so there's really no place for you to stay.

We have no choice but to let you stay in tents."

"It's not unfair, it's not unfair, auntie, we are used to it." Xie An said from behind.

Xie Ping turned his head and glared at him. This is the rule. When the master is speaking, it is never your turn to interrupt. You are being nosy.

Xie An scratched his head in grievance and dared not speak any more.

Zhou Yue smiled and lowered the curtain.

Halfway through the journey, Song Yuan stopped the donkey cart, and then everyone dispersed far away.

Zhou Yue knew that he was worried about the women in the car needing to go to the bathroom or something, and felt warmed by his thoughtfulness.

Zhou Yue asked Qing Mo to put the child down and get out of the car with her to relax.

Qing Mo jumped out of the car, stretched his arms and legs, and was immediately attracted by a small stall on the roadside.

She was a middle-aged woman with a straw basket in front of her, containing a few chicks.

The chick must have been hatched not long ago and has just grown its wings.

They chirped and huddled together in the corner of the basket because they were afraid.

Qing Mo looked at it curiously, and Zhou Yue also walked over to take a look.

"Auntie, how much is this chicken?"

The aunt had her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. When she heard someone asking, she quickly wiped her eyes and raised her head and said:

"Two cents each. Here are six more. If you take all of them, I'll give you ten cents."

The eggs are still three cents for two. The chicks have been hatched and raised for a few days, so the price is really not expensive.
