Chapter 18 Departure to Jiangnan
When Ling Quanzhong saw that his old wife was still hesitating, he suddenly got angry and slapped Chen twice. Ling Daniu on the side saw it, but he didn't stop his father from hitting my mother. He also had feelings for her. Angry, you know the three grandchildren she sold were also her own sons!
Now, of the four sons, only one is left with him. Those three sons were sold and will be slaves in the future. If he cannot find a way to redeem them, then the children of these children will be his descendants. The descendants will be slaves for generations.
Although I sold several children to redeem myself, Ling Daniu still couldn't help but hate my mother. He looked at his wife next to him and sighed in his heart. His wife has been cowardly all her life and was oppressed by my mother. In these years, she didn't even dare to say a word of objection. Even if she wanted to sell her son this time, she didn't dare to say anything. Only then did Ling Daniu realize that his wife had been helpless these years. If she objected to the previous sentence, then she would I was labeled unfilial by my mother.
Thinking of this, Ling Daniu looked at Chen with the eyes of a stranger for the first time.
"Mom, where did you sell my sons? Tell me, I know. If I make money in the future, I can redeem them."
Mrs. Chen saw the expression on her son's face at this time and realized that she had made the decision to sell her grandson this time, which seemed to have stabbed her son's lungs, so she muttered.
"You sold it to a human trafficker. You don't know that the trafficker gave the most money. They don't want the biggest big bolts. They are interested in two bolts, three bolts, and four bolts. In the city, only everyone can buy them in the market." I was given six taels of silver, and the trafficker gave me eight taels."
The more Ling Daniu listened, the heavier his heart became. He had a premonition that he and his sons would never meet again in this life. Thinking of this, he suddenly roared.
"Mom, let me ask you who you sold it to. Where is that person?"
When Mrs. Chen saw that her son was angry, she didn't dare to say more and whispered.
"I don't know where that trafficker is from, but the accent doesn't seem to be from Ningyuan County, but more like the accent from the capital."
Hearing this, Ling Daniu just sat down on the ground. Although the snow in the city had been cleared away at this time, there was nowhere that could be cleaned up, not to mention that the place where they were at this time was. Not far from the prison, the area was sparsely populated and the snow was not very clean. Ling Daniu sat down in the snow.
He knew that his son would never be found again. This place belonged to the border city of Northern Xinjiang, and it was still more than a thousand miles away from the capital. He and his sons were afraid that they would never see each other again in this life. Thinking of this, Ling Da The seven-foot-tall man actually covered his face and started crying.
Ling Quanzhong was also in tears at this time. A person's life is actually lived by his descendants. Now three of his four grandsons have been sold, leaving only a single seedling. He also learned about those three seedlings from his son and his old wife. The grandson who was sold probably would be like that for the rest of his life. He stepped forward and patted Ling Daniu on the shoulder.
"Daniu, get up. This is the end of the matter. We have to look forward and make money in the future. If there is a chance, we will go to the capital. Maybe we can still find those three children."
He didn't believe what Ling Quanzhong said, but now he could only say this, asking his son to cheer up and go home first.
The New Year is over soon, and just as Ling Xiaoxiao guessed, this spring is very cold. The late-spring weather makes the family who want to set off stay in the village again. It just happens that during this period, Ling Xiaoxiao continued to teach Ling Sanlang and Ling Erzhuang how to practice martial arts. Ling Erzhuang was not very talented, but he was still diligent. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as Ling Sanlang's, he could still withstand ordinary thieves.
Time came to February leisurely, and more than a month had passed since the new year. The weather began to warm up completely, Ling Xiaoxiao said after returning from a trip to the mountains.
"Dad, Mom, we can set off for Jiangnan. The snow on the ground has all melted away. Although there are still some muddy areas in some small areas, the road conditions are getting better as we go south."
Hearing what Ling Xiaoxiao said, the family was very happy. Although it was very comfortable to live here, humans are social animals after all, and they cannot live in the mountains forever. It would be better if the time is shorter. If the time is too long, For a long time, I really couldn't bear it.
This time when they went out to the mountains, Ling Xiaoxiao bought another horse. There were only four horses in their family of five. Although Ling Wuya was still young, she and Zhou Yunniang rode the same horse, which was not enough. Yes, because each horse needs to carry a lot of luggage, and these are things that Ling Xiaoxiao cannot fit into the space, because these are all things on the surface.
Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao had bought another horse, the family was in favor. Ling Erzhuang also said,
"When we get out of the mountain and go to the market outside, we will see if we can buy a carriage. Then we will be able to relax. Besides, your dad has learned how to drive a carriage. I will give Baidian to me when the time comes. Pulling a carriage.”
Ling Xiaoxiao was very in favor of Ling Erzhuang's proposal. You must know that their family has lived here for more than half a year, but they have added a lot of things. Ling Xiaoxiao secretly put a lot of things into his own space, otherwise the things There are more.
After arranging things properly, Zhou Yunniang started to make dry food. It was impossible to have inns everywhere along the way, so sometimes she needed to sleep in the wilderness, so she needed to prepare some dry food.
During this time, Ling Wuya learned to cook from her mother, and she did it well. This made Ling Xiaoxiao envious. There was no way, Ling Wuya's talent in cooking really made Ling Xiaoxiao a little bit jealous. Jealous.
After five days of busy work, the luggage was finally arranged. Ling Xiaoxiao also made a trip to Ningyuan County in the past few days to buy a carriage and brought it back. He placed it at the entrance of the valley and covered it with vegetation. To get out of the mountain, hitch up the carriage.
The family brought everything they could, and then led the horses toward the entrance of the valley. After walking for an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the valley. They pulled the carriage out of the grass and hitched the horses to the carriage. Then he took off all the luggage and put it into the carriage again. Ling Erzhuang was driving the carriage, and the remaining people were riding towards the south.
After leaving the mountain, the first stop was Ningyuan County. However, because everything was well prepared, Ling Xiaoxiao refused to allow her siblings to enter Ningyuan County. She was afraid that they would encounter Ling Quanzhong's family, so she went directly to bypass Ningyuan County and headed south. .
