Chapter 124 The Town (Leader’s update: Johannes van der(2/2)
Li Yi saw three or five ragged children playing and laughing together on the side of the road. However, these children all had a piece of grass stuck in their heads, while a pair of elderly people stood beside them.
The couple is looking at everyone passing by with hopeful eyes.
Maybe that couple is not old, but they have experienced more hardships, so they appear older.
"You are selling your child, right?" Li Yi paused and took a look.
He still knew the meaning of inserting bids and selling first, after all, he was Li Mengde.
Li Yi's stop made the old couple kneel down tremblingly. Then without saying a word, they just kowtowed to Li Yi, and kowtowed so hard that blood stains appeared on the bluestone pavement within a few seconds.
.
In their opinion.
Li Yi is tall, gorgeously dressed, and holding a horse. He is a first-class nobleman. Being able to stop and look at them is a blessing and opportunity that they cannot ask for in this life. If they can buy their child, it will be a blessing.
Great creation.
As a result, the couple worked harder and harder.
The children on the side didn't know why their parents were kowtowing to Li Yi, but they stopped playing around and knelt down like their parents, kowtowing to Li Yi.
There is no reason, it seems to be natural and natural.
Even people passing by thought it was normal.
Some people even saw this opportunity and plucked up the courage to come over. They hunched over and said something submissive: "My daughter is over fourteen years old, and she is quite handsome. If you are in need of a maid to wash your feet, why not?"
I bought my daughter."
After saying that, he continued to bend down and wait, not daring to say another word.
Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Stop kowtowing, I am not worthy of your kowtow, and I will not buy your children."
But his words were of no use.
The other party remained silent and kowtowed.
"Zhao Qian." Li Yi shouted.
"What's wrong, Brother Yi?" Zhao Qian, who was walking in front, immediately turned around and said.
She had long noticed some of Brother Yi's actions on the street, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Give them some money." Li Yi did not stop any longer and continued to lead the horse forward.
Zhao Qian nodded, took out a piece of silver, then pinched off a piece and threw it away.
When the old couple saw the piece of silver falling in front of them, they hurriedly picked it up. Then they shouted words of gratitude and bowed in the direction where Li Yi and Zhao Qian left. But soon, the man quickly pulled
His wife and children fled away, not daring to stay in the town any longer.
"You can't give them too much money, otherwise they will be murdered. The money is the maximum they can handle." Zhao Qian explained at this moment.
"That's it." Li Yishi was still wondering why Zhao Qian broke off a small piece of silver.
Zhao Qian added: "There are too many poor people in Xingzhou and they can't be saved. But with Brother Yi's help this time, they can survive for another three years without having to sell their sons and daughters. Maybe they can find a new life in three years."
A way to survive.”
"That little money can keep such a family alive for three years?" Li Yi asked.
Zhao Qian nodded: "That's how poor people are. The expenses are very small, and it's good to be half full."
"It's really not easy to live." Li Yi's voice was very calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
And just after Li Yi and Zhao Qian walked away, the man who had bent over to sell his daughter raised his head. He sighed, feeling that he had missed an opportunity, and then left in a depressed mood.
