The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 201: Selling oneself to bury father?
Li Shao didn't care whether he could go down in history or not. He had only one thought in mind: he could finally go home and hug his wife and children. Finally!
The army did not move very fast on the way back to Beijing. To the people of Jing State, they were heroes. Not only did they repel the invading enemies, they also directly turned the other two countries into vassal states of Jing State. What a prestige and what an achievement.
When you meet someone, you must welcome them with a big crowd and give them food, drinks and flowers.
Jing Xiangting was naturally happy to see the people's support for the Jing Kingdom's army, so he specially ordered Li Shao and his men not to return to the capital too quickly so that the people could have more time to admire the style of the Jing Kingdom's army.
Li Shao and others naturally had to obey orders. When the army had marched halfway and stopped to rest, they happened to be stationed next to a county town called Jinquan County.
The customs and clothing here are very different from those in the capital and are very local.
Li Shao changed into casual clothes and planned to go for a walk on the street and buy some local jewelry for Zhao Ye. He had not been home for a long time, so he had to bring some gifts for his wife.
On the streets of the county town, Li Shao looked at the various shops on both sides, the pedestrians coming and going on the streets, and the vendors setting up stalls to solicit customers. It was full of the atmosphere of life.
The child who was being pulled by an adult's arm on the roadside and refused to leave, and was clamoring to eat candied haws, reminded Li Shao of his own two little ones.
I don't know if they miss me, but they must have! Now that I'm so old, I can't forget him like I did when I was a kid.
Li Shao walked forward while thinking, when suddenly, there was a noise in front of him, and a group of people gathered together, looking at something.
Li Shao came closer and found that what everyone was watching seemed to be a drama of selling oneself to bury one's father and forcing a good woman into prostitution?
On the roadside in the center of the crowd, there was a young woman kneeling on the ground. She was wearing mourning clothes, without any makeup, but had an extremely charming appearance.
As the old saying goes, if you want to look pretty, you have to wear mourning clothes. If that is the case, then the clothes paired with her little face are really seductive.
The men, young and old, who were watching the scene, couldn't take their eyes off it.
The woman had a mournful look on her face, with a sign standing next to her that described her life story. To sum it up, her father had died of illness, and now she had no relatives. She wanted to find a kind-hearted person to buy her so that she could use the money to bury her father.
The most dramatic thing is that there were several burly men with fierce looks standing next to the woman, and it was obvious that they were not good people.
At this time, the leading man said angrily: "Your father is dead, but you still have to pay back the money you owe us. Today is the deadline. We brothers are here to collect the money."
Hearing this, the woman pleaded, "My dear brothers, I have no relatives and no property. Because of my father's illness, there is really nothing valuable left at home. Please give me some more time. I will find a way to earn money to repay my debts."
The big man looked the woman up and down with disdain, "Give me some time? Earn money to pay off the debt? Where can you earn money?"
"Since you don't have the money to pay the debt, then sell yourself. With your looks, you can definitely get a good price. Maybe you can even become a top prostitute and wear gold and silver in the future. We have done a good deed and found a good place for you."
"Brothers, do it!"
Following the big man's order, several big men began to pull the woman.
"I don't want it! I don't want it! Help! Help me!" The woman cried out in fear as they pulled her apart.
Tears flowed down her fair face, and she looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel pity for her.
The crowd watching also started talking.
"This girl is truly pitiful. Selling herself to bury her father was already a helpless act. How could these big men be so cruel and force her into such a desperate situation?"
"It is common sense to pay back debts, but you can't bully a weak woman like this and sell her to a brothel. It's really unscrupulous."
"The world is going downhill. How could this girl's fate be so miserable?"
...
"What are you talking about! If you don't want to be beaten, shut up! If you don't like it, you can pay her back!"
"Yes! If you don't like it, take out your money, or just shut up!"
The ferocious appearance and huge fists of the big men made the onlookers shut up instantly. They said it was okay, but who had the money to pay off the debts for others?
There were also some people who were attracted by the beauty of the girl and wanted to pay off her debts and took her into their house. At this time, a middle-aged man who was well-dressed and looked like he had some money at home mustered up the courage to say, "Stop! How much money does this girl owe you?"
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on him. The big man who was pulling the girl stopped, and the girl stared at him with tears in her eyes. The man suddenly became proud and said, "How much? I paid it back for her!"
The leading man snorted coldly, "Not much, three hundred taels!"
"What?!" Not only the man, but the onlookers were also shocked. Three hundred taels is not a small amount, and thirty taels is already a lot.
At this moment, the man was like a duck with its throat grabbed, hesitating and unable to make a sound. The big man laughed and mocked, "What? No money?! If you don't have money, don't act like a big shot here!"
The man's fat face turned blue and red, like a color palette. He was so embarrassed that he quickly pushed through the crowd and ran away.
This time no one could stop them. Just when several people were about to forcibly take the woman away, the woman somehow found the strength to shake off the hands on her body and rushed towards Li Shao.
However, due to Li Shao's quick reaction, the woman missed and fell to the ground, looking even more pitiful.
The woman who fell to the ground did not get up, but tilted her body and raised her head, looking up at Li Shao, pleading with tears in her eyes: "My lord, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament, you must be an ordinary person, please save me!"
"I am really desperate, so I come to you to beg you to buy me. From now on, I will work like a slave for you to repay you for saving my life!"
As she said this, she bowed gently towards Li Shao.
Li Shao thought to himself, I'm really just a spectator, but everyone present turned their eyes to him.
The leading burly man laughed and said, "This young man looks different from the idiot just now. He must have money. This girl has a good look and figure. If you buy her back, she can work and warm the bed. She's perfect! Hahaha!"
After hearing this, Li Shao felt speechless. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone around him recognize him.
"General Li? This is General Li, right?!"
"What? General Li? The General Li Shaoli who just defeated the Liao Kingdom?!"
"Yes, that's right. The more I look at it, the more it resembles him. It's exactly like the portrait."
"Yes, it's General Li!"
"Ahhh! General Li! Why are you here? I, I admire you so much!"
"General Li! You are a great hero of our Jing country!"
...
The plot instantly changed to everyone surrounding Li Shao and complimenting him in various ways, scrambling to get close to him and talk to him, just like fans seeing their idols, their eyes were sparkling, and they couldn't wait to go up and see Shao in person.
In order to get out as quickly as possible, Li Shao hurriedly said: "Fellow villagers, thank you for your love for me, but leading troops to fight is what soldiers like me should do. There is no need to praise me so much. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."
After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but how could the woman let him go like that? As he was surrounded by many people, Li Shao couldn't push her away, so the woman grabbed his trouser leg.
"General, please save me. If you don't save me, I will die!" As she said this, she started crying softly again.
Li Shao stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, "Do you really want me to save you?"
This question was a strange one, but the woman still replied: "Please save me~"
The faces of several big men on the side suddenly turned bad, and the leading big man whispered: "General, this woman really owes us money, we brothers..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Shao, "It is only natural to pay back a debt, but the three hundred taels must be after interest has been compounded, how much is the principal?"
Hearing what Li Shao meant, he had no intention of punishing them. They still had to pay back the principal. The principal was the principal, and the interest was extra anyway. The big man flattered, "Hey, General, you are wise. The principal is thirty taels of silver, and this girl only needs to pay back thirty taels."
After hearing what the big man said, everyone around him couldn't help but gasp. This was too dark.
Li Shao said nothing, but took out a thirty-liang silver note from his pocket and threw it to the big man. After the big man took it, he nodded and said, "Thank you, General. Thank you, General."
The people around praised Li Shao in various ways.
Li Shao felt that the show was finally over, so he politely pushed through the crowd and was about to leave.
