Along the way, you will meet someone who is playing tricks.Gouwa saw it in the early years, but because the family didn't have much money, I was too embarrassed to look at it for too long, let alone get too close.Money bags are plentiful right now.Gouwa took a closer look with his left and right hands.

Here is an acrobatic class, there are all kinds of throwing knives, handstands, fire breathing, and tricks. It was the first time Gouwa had such a good time watching it, and from time to time, he clapped and applauded with the sound of the crowd.

Tie Dan had seen it well before, but standing in the crowd and watching it with everyone at this time, it was not a good taste.

After a while, someone will come with a gong to ask for rewards.Gouwa was still opening the money bag to get the copper plate, but Tie Dan had already put about two taels of silver ingots on the copper plate.

The class leader asking for rewards was taken aback.It's not that this kind of bounty has never been seen, it's just that there are almost no such small places.

They naturally know where the most profitable performing arts are, especially when the year is approaching.It's just that at this time, these performers in the rivers and lakes will each occupy a place.They can't compete with others, so they come to this small place.Originally, after a busy day, it would be nice to have a thousand or eight hundred copper coins.But right now, there is such a silver ingot.Their troupe's New Year's money has all come out.

"Thank you, sir!" The head teacher bowed to thank him, and then went to ask for it from others.

After a lap, the performance continued, and Gouwa took a few more glances at the silver ingot.Tie Dan slapped everyone, and asked with a low laugh, "Does your heart hurt?"

"A little bit." Gouwa thought about it, and said again, "But it seems that there are not many people who give rewards. You give more, and they will have a good year this year."

Those who run the rivers and lakes as entertainers rely on hard skills.Except for those well-established teams who can make more money, most of them can't make much money.Gouwa has heard people say in the past that there were times in the village when the family couldn't live on, so they gave their children to such troupes.Let the children follow the class teacher to travel all over the world to learn how to eat.As long as you don't starve to death, it's nothing to work hard.

Maybe it's because the bounty I got today is enough.Those entertainers performed even harder.

Gouwa saw enough of the commotion, so he took the lock's little hand, and went to other places to have a look.

"It's so powerful, it must have suffered a lot. But it's more or less a cooking skill. Calculated, it's much better than our planing food in the soil." Gou Wa sighed.

Tie Dan looked at the bustling crowd on the side of the road, and he was about to reach the end of the market: "This is learned. It takes a lot of hardships to persevere from childhood to adulthood. In this world, people who can eat A lot. It depends on personal preference."

There are apron sellers on the side of the road.Gou Wa recalled those events before.

Since the last time Gouwa took the bellyband and went back.Tiedan became very interested in it.Gouwa is not allowed to wear pajamas either.Tie a bellyband on him every night, and then admire it carefully by the light of the candle.

Gouwa doesn't know what his hobby is.It's just to see that he likes it, so it's not good to let him down.Just follow him.

Gouwa picked up a larger apron with auspicious clouds embroidered on it, and compared it to Tie Dan: "What do you think of this pattern?"

Tie Dan took it over and took a closer look, then shook his head: "The stitches are not as dense as yours, and the fabric is not as good as yours."

Gouwa doesn't pick this.But he understands that Tie Dan is a delicate person.

Seeing the precious owner coming, the stall owner who bought the bellyband hurriedly turned around to take a new one from the bag: "Then you two look at this? I bought it from another place too. It is a decent Suzhou embroidery, and the fabric is also top-quality. "

Tie Dan took a look.Gouwa glanced at it and said, "It's good, but it's a little too small. Big brother can't wear it."

Tie Dan smiled and said, "It's quite suitable for you."

Gou Wa panicked with embarrassment, and turned to ask the stall owner if there were any bigger ones.The stall owner shook his head regretfully, and introduced him to a smaller but larger one.

This apron was not too big.Because men grow up, they seldom wear them.If you get married, you will naturally have a daughter-in-law.Generally, only a small number of aprons are purchased because no one at home makes them or the needlework is not good.Most of them still buy a fresh pattern and learn how to make it at home.

So this kind of person is generally not too picky about materials and stitches.On the contrary, I can't wait for it to be cheap and cheap.

Therefore, it is a rare opportunity for the stall owner to meet such a well-chosen one.

Tie Dan took out money to buy the bellyband, but he refused to let Gou Wa choose it for him, so he dragged the two of them to continue walking.This shopping, always have to go to the end to have fun.

There are fewer and fewer people in front.Just as Gou Wa was about to turn his head to discuss, he noticed a few men gathered in front of him, seeming to be looking at something.

Gou Wa glanced at Tie Dan.Tie Dan directly pulled the two of them over to watch the excitement.

As soon as he walked in, he heard a woman crying.

Gou Wa vaguely saw a woman kneeling on the ground inside.It's just that someone blocked it and couldn't see clearly.On the contrary, Tie Dan was tall, and he tapped clearly with his toes.

"Sell yourself to bury your father." Tie Dan explained the situation concisely.

This is still rare.Because it is difficult to a certain extent, when a person dies, at most they will be buried in a broken mat.

It is necessary to sell one's body to bury the father. On the one hand, the rest of the family is really desperate.On the other hand, these prostituted children are also extremely filial people.Even if he is penniless, he must give his deceased father a face after his death.

Gou Wa continued to move forward, and heard the surrounding men around the prostitute girl asking questions.However, it is a question of what can be done after buying her.The girl was ashamed and afraid, but she had to answer.While crying, she answered the increasingly obscene questions around her.The sound was getting weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that it was about to collapse.

The girl was dressed in coarse linen with a white cloth on her head.A small face was pale and bluish, and he was so hungry just looking at it.

Gou Wa came closer, and the girl saw Gou Wa.See him well dressed, with a kind expression.Unlike those around.

The girl looked a little more energetic, knelt down a little more, and hurriedly said, "Master! You can buy me!"

Next to the girl stood a dead body wrapped in a straw mat.It must be the girl's father.

"You are the only family member? Where are the other relatives?" Gou Wa asked immediately.

Ethics, it's never the turn of a girl to sell herself on the street.No matter how bad it is, you can ask a matchmaker to consult someone.It is absolutely feasible to send the father with only the dowry silver.Moreover, this girl looks pretty, so she is not worried about people wanting her.Therefore, the plot of selling one's body to bury one's father should be more in the storybook and opera than in reality.

Mentioning this, the girl's tears fell again.

"Grandpa, you asked, and the slave family did not hide from you. The three generations of the slave family lived alone. I had a younger brother who drowned in the pool in the early years. After a few years, my mother had a dystocia and passed away. My father originally married the second mother. Father didn't wake up for a few days, so he went there. Erniang took all the money from the family. There are relatives who have been connected to the family. But look at my family, they only care about robbing my family's land and treat me as an outsider. Some people even planned to buy me for money. Seeing that they refused to hand over my father's body, I have no support. That's the only way to go. I just hope that I can be entrusted to a good family, at least for life."

After finishing speaking, the girl was sobbing.Wipe away tears with the sleeves of rough linen clothes.

Good days are similar, but bad days are different.

After hearing her cry, Gouwa looked back at Tie Dan.

Tie Dan raised an eyebrow and let him decide for himself.

There is no shortage of long-term workers in the family.Moreover, such a woman is really not a good look to be taken into the house.

Gou Wa actually thought of it, he could take her into his home, and said to the outside world that he bought a daughter-in-law to deceive others, so as to solve the trouble of the villagers introducing women to him.

But this kind of thing is not a long-term solution after all.

"Can you embroider?" Gouwa asked after thinking about it, "And weaving."

The woman thought that Gou Wa was going to sell him, so she took a closer look at Gou Wa.Look at his good features and decent clothes.It looks like a nice family.

I felt a little more joy in my heart: "Yes! Just teach me to beat the little girl."

Gouwa had an idea: "Then do you know how to babysit?"

The woman only thought that Gou Wa already had a wife and children at home, and she was a little disappointed.But I couldn't wait to think about it, and nodded again and again: "Yes! I can do everything!"

"Then can you go to the city?" Gouwa asked again.

"can!"

Gouwa nodded in satisfaction.

When a woman kneels straight, she has to bow her head.Gouwa stopped the person first, and said: "Don't kowtow. I know you are short of money. I can lend you the money. It's not too late to pay you back when you have money. If you have no way to make a living, I can find it for you. One. The second sister of my family weaves and embroiders in the city. It is a job that can make ends meet. But she still has to take care of her two sons by herself. Thank you for her hard work. If you can bear the hardship, I can send you to my second sister There. It’s just knitting and spinning on weekdays, taking care of the little boy. The silver you owe me, you can earn the silver and pay me back slowly.”

Is there such a good thing in this world?

The women froze there for a long while before boldly confirming: "Master, what you said is true?"

"Why should I lie to you? I don't need to make fun of you. If you think it's appropriate, I'll give you money to bury your father. Then go to the east village to find me. The family at the entrance of the village is my home."

The woman did not expect to meet such a kind person, so she asked timidly in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I won't go to you after taking the money?"

"Then it's up to you." Gouwa rummaged through his pocket and took out a few scattered silver ingots, about five taels. People dig graves. If all these can be done properly, come to me.”

Handing over the money, the woman knelt on the ground and knuckleted her head.Gouwa didn't stop him either.It's not that he really took her head, it's just that men and women are different, and he can't really reach out to help her up.

After giving the money, Gouwa locked the lock and turned to leave.

After walking a little further, Tie Dan asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that she won't come back if she leaves?"

"No." Gouwa smiled and looked at Tie Dan, "Maybe it's because I had a similar time. Looking at her eyes, I think she is not a bad-hearted person."
