BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - 71 Being Sold Off
After Chen Dagou left, Chen Ergou angrily kicked the two people on the ground. “Bah! Unlucky things!”
Xiao Hu clenched his fists and resisted the urge to say anything. What should he do? If he was really being sold off, it would be difficult for him to escape. Right now, her sister was looking for them. She must be very worried.
As he thought about this, he could not help but cry.
!!
At that moment, Chen Ergou pushed open the door and walked out.
After the door closed, Xiao Hu quietly opened his eyes and looked around the room.
His limbs were all tied up. Xiao Ye was lying beside him and had yet to wake up.
Xiao Hu turned his head and whispered, “Xiao Ye, wake up! Xiao Ye!”
Xiao Ye did not respond. He tried to struggle, but the hemp rope was tied tightly. He could not break free at all.
What should he do?
…
On the other side, Ming Zhiyan brought Jian Qingqing to the end of the grass patch. The trail had disappeared here.
This was a fork in the road, a former county town. The other two roads should lead to a certain village.
“What should we do? Which road should we take?” Jian Qingqing asked worriedly.
She was rubbish at solving cases. In her previous life, she had read detective novels because she liked the mysterious atmosphere. However, it was only after the answer was finally announced did she know who the murderer was.
Ming Zhiyan did not answer her, he squatted down and carefully observed the messy footsteps on the road.
After a long while, he stood up and pointed at the road in the middle. “This way.”
“Okay.” Jian Qingqing trusted him without hesitation. The two of them walked down this road together.
…
Just as Xiao Hu was about to struggle out of the door with one hand, the door opened again. He quickly closed his eyes and did not move.
“Master Li, it’s these two kids. They are eight and five years old. They are both literate and handsome.”
Master Li turned their heads and looked at them carefully. He nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, they are not bad.”
Chen Dagou and Chen Ergou were overjoyed. They grinned and asked, “Then, Master Li, the money…”
Master Li looked up and said, “1 tael each.”
When they heard that, the two brothers’ faces turned ugly. “Master Li, look at these two kids. They can even read and write. You will definitely be able to sell them for a high price…”
Master Li sneered. “How much I can sell them is my business. Go out and ask around. This price is definitely too high for me. If it’s someone else, I can give them 500 wen at most. If you don’t like it, go find someone else.” After Master Li said that, he pretended to leave.
Chen Ergou quickly stopped him. He gritted his teeth and said with a bad expression, “1 tael, then.”
Master Li nodded in satisfaction. He gave 2 taels of silver to Chen Ergou and was about to go over and lift the two people up.
At this moment, Xiao Hu had already taken advantage of the time they were talking to free his hand. When he felt someone grab his collar, he panicked and opened his mouth to bite the person’s arm.
Master Li felt the pain and flung the person in his hand away.
“Bastard, how dare you bite me!”
Xiao Hu was thrown down. His internal organs were in pain as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Chen Ergou saw that the kid had already woken up, and he even bit Master Li, he was furious. “Motherf*cker, I’m going to beat you to death!”
As he said this, he started punching and kicking Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu was beaten until his entire body was in pain. He held back his tears and shouted loudly, “Let me go! Otherwise, my sister will not let you go!”
In Xiao Hu’s heart, his sister was the most powerful person. She was even more powerful than his grandfather. When he was in danger, he used his sister to intimidate the bad guys.
