Chapter 25

No matter how dissatisfied, you still have to take a shower.He looked around and found that the yard was really quiet, only the tall weeds twisted gently with the wind.He took a deep breath, and took off his robe. He is really thin now, his arms are pitifully thin, and his body is dirty, but his figure is okay, not the fragile one.He shivered naked, and brought up a bucket of water with a wooden bucket.He stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt that the water was too cold, so he decided to put it in the sun for a while before talking.But he was struggling towards the sun with a bucket in his hand when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the low wall.He is short and can't see outside, but the person outside is obviously much taller, with most of his head exposed.Seeing that person looking over, he was so frightened that he quickly blocked his key parts with a bucket, and shouted, "Who is it?"

The people outside the wall didn't answer him, his face was flushed, an idea came to his mind, he quickly squatted down, grabbed the mud and wiped his face, this time he became more courageous, and stared at the person outside Shouted: "I haven't seen a man before, look at it and dig out your eyeballs!"

But the man was unmoved at all, and continued to stare straight at him.Relying on his dirty face covered with mud, no one could see clearly, and he didn't feel ashamed anymore. He looked down and saw a stone, picked it up and threw it over.Unexpectedly, he didn't hit that person, but hit another one. He heard a little girl outside the wall yelling "Ouch". inside.

The wind blew and the weeds swayed one after another. It was already half an hour later, and the sunlight became soft. He saw the eyebrows and eyes of the person outside the wall through the gap, and felt a little familiar, so he stood up a little.But the man outside left. He sighed a long time, stood up completely, and stood naked in the weeds.

This time he paid more attention, and instead of waiting for the water to heat up, he directly took a rinse with cold water.He hadn't bathed for a long time. Although he was shivering a little after taking a bath, he felt comfortable all over. He whistled and walked outside, and sneezed when he reached the gate of the yard.

That's how he got a cold.

I don't know if it's because his body is too weak now, but the little cold got worse and worse, and later he developed a fever.He is a newcomer, he has no qualifications, and no one is willing to serve him, so he can only stand next to him.When he was still asleep the next morning, Li Tianba came unexpectedly. He heard voices outside in a daze, opened his eyes quickly, and sat up with force.As soon as he wiped his eyes, Li Tianba opened the door and came in. Seeing him sitting up, he smiled and said, "I thought you died of illness."

"Second Master bought me to be a slave. I haven't done my job, so how dare I die." Axiu looked at Li Tianba vigilantly: "What are you doing here?"

But Li Tianba said: "I came to ask you to sign the contract of sale. After signing the contract of sale, you are our family's slave, so that I can find someone to cure your leg... You don't want to be so disabled at a young age, do you?" ?”

Axiu frowned and glanced at Li Tianba, pondered for a while, and said, "Signing the deed of sale is also fine, but I have to add a few conditions, and I can sign it only if you agree."

Li Tianba looked at him full of inquiry, and suddenly laughed, with a slight smile on his slender and handsome eyebrows: "Come here, I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

After he finished speaking, a little maid, Chun Sui, came in from outside not long after, holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she knelt aside and offered the things without daring to lift her head.Axiu's mind was not clear yet, she rubbed her eyes and picked up the brush.Li Tianba was obviously taken aback: "You can write?"

It's a joke, when he is really a little beggar who knows how to eat leftovers since he was a child, he can not only write, but also write traditional characters. From the second grade to the fifth grade, he has written calligraphy for three or four years Well, at that time, he was studying with copybooks all day long. He knew traditional Chinese characters as long as they were not too uncommon. Although his grades were not very good, his brush calligraphy was not bad. Everyone praised him for his good writing.This time he was a little proud, and said, "Will you know if I write about it?"

Li Tianba rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, the second master will grind ink for you."

"I've never seen a deed of sale, you say I'll write it."

"I haven't seen it either. You can write whatever you want, as long as the meaning is right."

Axiu thought for a while, and wrote: "There is a little beggar, Axiu, from Luoyang, who volunteered to become a slave in Li's mansion, and is willing to obey all the rules and orders that a slave should obey..." After writing this, Axiu suddenly had something in her mind. A flash of inspiration: "By the way, since it's a contract of sale, what about my money, you have to give me money?"

"Naturally, you are indispensable for this. According to the old rules, ten taels of silver."

Now that Axiu knew that ten taels of silver was not a small sum, she felt a little excited.He wants silver for many purposes.Li Tianba looked at the words he wrote, showing a bit of surprise, his eyes also changed, and asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

"I have read it for more than ten years."

The books he has studied for the past few years are nothing in modern times, that is, he has not graduated from junior high school, but it is different in ancient times. The so-called ten years of hard work can be admitted to the number one scholar.Li Tianba was very surprised and said, "What did your family do in the past?"

Axiu wondered which dynasty her family background was very important, so she frowned and said, "My family used to be a scholarly family, but after it fell into decline, I became a beggar... Did you see my maid last time? forget?"

No matter how capable the Li family is, the slaves in the family must all come from poor families, and there are probably fewer literate ones, let alone those with good backgrounds.When he said this, the little maids standing next to him also respected him a little bit.

Axiu knows that her current "worth" has risen. Although she also wants to be a slave, the slaves are also divided into three or six grades. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. His status as a scholarly family will probably give him He brought a lot of benefits, at least his waist straightened a lot: "The following is my additional conditions. Let me talk about it first. You can see if it works. If it works, I will write it. If it doesn't work, we will discuss it."

"You said."

"First, although I am your slave and I want to listen to you, I have my own rights. You can't rape me!"

Chunsui next to him burst out laughing with a "puchi", and immediately fell to his knees on the ground, and the little girls guarding beside him also widened their eyes, some snickered and some were surprised, even Li Tianba was stunned After a while, I laughed out loud: "If you volunteer, it's not considered rape, right?"

Axiu snorted, and used her sneer to show her firm will: "Second, I heard that the life and death of your slaves here is determined by the master, but I am an exception. Your family can't just say kill me." kill me."

"Okay... our family doesn't deal with slaves easily, after all, they are all bought with money."

Axiu didn't expect Li Tianba to agree to his demands so easily. He knew that slaves in ancient times basically had no right to speak.But as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, the easier Li Tianba agrees to his "unreasonable request", the more tricks behind it, the more it shows that his motives are not pure.Axiu pushed forward and said, "I still want to specify a time limit in the contract. Let's sign for a year and try it out first? If you are not satisfied with each other, you can kick me out, or I can go away by myself..."

"No, you have to make an inch." Li Tianba smiled and said, "Do you know what a slave is?"

Axiu has watched so many ancient TV dramas, of course he knows what a slave is.He also knew that he didn't really have the capital to make demands now, but he knew that Li Tianba was playing tricks on him to some extent, and this was the only reason he could be tougher.But he was stubborn and refused to give in. He asked, "What is a slave?"

"You listen to what I say. This is called a slave. Looking around the world, there is no slave who dares to negotiate with me. You are the first." Li Tianba said and handed over the contract: "Press the fingerprint. "

The moment she stretched out her hand, Axiu regretted it a little. She felt that she was too impulsive, as if she was on Li Tianba's boat.However, it is better to be on a thief's boat than on a thief's bed. With this contract in hand, at least he doesn't have to worry about being miserably ravaged.

Li Tianba put away his contract of selling himself, and he seemed to be in a particularly happy mood. He walked to the window and pushed all the big windows behind him.The mist in the early autumn morning shrouds the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, and the sun has not yet come down. The morning sun is blocked by golden clouds, and it seems that it will bloom in the next moment.
