This county is not big. If it is in a prosperous area of ​​the Central Plains, such a county can only be considered a town. This small town living among the mountains is not a major transportation route between the north and the south. There are not many tourists from other places. The most lively time in the county is the temple fair twice a month.

Every day, people of all ethnic groups from all over the world and the countryside brought various mountain goods, such as mushrooms, wild fruits, game, bamboo mats and baskets, to the town to communicate with each other and barter.

Of course, some foreign merchants also brought cloth, salt, wine, rouge, jewelry and other items to this small town, exchanged some wild game delicacies with local mountain villagers, and then transported them to other places to make a difference.

There are two small inns in the town, mainly for the people who had not had time to return to the mountain and merchants who came elsewhere that day, and the conditions were very simple.

Aunt Ma usually doesn't "do business" in the city. Although the government in such places is not as prestigious as the government in the Central Plains, it is still very deterrent in the eyes of these common people. It is more risky to commit crimes here.

However, if Xue Shuiwu and her daughter have such good conditions, it would be a pity if they were sold to people in the mountains as childbirth tools. They always had to sell them to rich families or ** to make a good price. At first glance, they were just out of the world. Aunt Ma just occasionally did it in the county town, so she didn't worry about anything.

When Aunt Ma arrived in the town, she first asked for a room in a small inn and said to Xue Shuiwu: "Miss, there are always some rogues in this county that bully the kind. You are as beautiful as a flower, so don't walk around.

The aunt first settles you here and goes to the relatives' house in the city. First, come to visit relatives, and second, ask them to help you contact the merchant gang so that you can take you to Guizhou Road. Otherwise, a delicate little lady like you would not be able to travel peacefully."

Xue Shuiwu was very grateful and thanked her repeatedly. Aunt Ma smiled slightly and turned around and left the room. Xue Shuiwu put down her daughter and just poured a glass of water. When she heard a "click", she hurried out and pulled the door. The door was exposed with a gap that was wide across her palm and could no longer be opened. She was locked outside.

A sense of ominousness immediately arose in Xue Shuiwu's heart. She called out a few words of "Aunt Ma". She did not hear Aunt Ma's echo, but instead attracted several customers who stayed in the hotel. The guest saw a beautiful woman through the crack of the door, each with a very strange look.

Seeing this, Xue Shuiwu was scared and dared not speak out again. The ominous feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger: "It's not that she encountered a human trafficker, right?" Thinking of Aunt Ma's kind and simple look, Xue Shuiwu didn't believe her judgment, but the current strange situation was uneasy.

Le Yao had lost interest in hiding and seeking, and pouted and said to Xue Shuiwu, "Mom, why haven't Brother Xiaotian found us yet?"

Xue Shuiwu gently hugged her in her arms, tears rolling in her eyes. She knew that Ye Xiaotian would never appear in front of her. If she could successfully bring Le Yao to Guizhou and hand it over to the person she should hand it over, perhaps what Ye Xiaotian left in her heart was just a regret in her past, but now she missed that man more than ever.

After Aunt Ma left the inn, she happily wandered around the city. She rarely committed crimes in the county town. There were no familiar people here who could help her "sell stolen goods", but she was half a local, and she could probably know who was rich.

Aunt Ma’s idea was to find wealthy families first. Such families could afford the most. If they couldn’t do it, they would just be the gathering place for wild prostitutes and wanderings. They would only earn money from the hardships. I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to pay a good price that makes people feel ideal.

Aunt Ma was running hurriedly in the county town, without notice that there was a figure following her from beginning to end...

Guan Er is in his early fifties this year, and his sparse hair is mostly white. He holds a bun and inserts a locust wood hairpin. He has a shabby gauze shirt on his body, squatting under the shade of a tree by the roadside, and there are sacks of walnuts, sacks of chestnuts, persimmon cakes, red dates and other items in front of him.

Because it was hot, he hugged his robe, revealing his thin legs under the robe, and squatted there, like a big horse monkey. Whenever a woman of some beauty passed by him, he stared straight at the other person, looking forward at his chest and behind his hips, his eyes were like hooks, and his head was swaying from left to right, from right to left...

He is a mountain collector, and collecting mountain collector is a chore. Even if he is transported outside the mountain, he can't make much money. Therefore, he is a slightly rich but not very rich person.

The market was very chaotic, the stalls were not arranged neatly, and there were no rules for pedestrians to walk, so it was very chaotic. Even in this case, Guan Er's eyes could still accurately chase a swaying buttocks, gradually moving away, making his eyes look deep like a philosopher.

Guan Er was once very poor. He turned out to be just a young man from Shopkeeper Li who collected real information. When he became an old man from a young man, he still had little money and no money to marry a wife.

The only time he had tasted the taste of being a man in his life was more than 20 years ago. He grabbed the money he had saved for a long time and walked up to the door of a half-closed kiln sister, handing over the twenty cents of money he had been sweating. He was pulled into the house like a child by the woman in exchange for that trembling.

He was really trembling and just lay on the white body. Before he could move a few times, he was already venting. After he woke up, Guan Er suddenly felt a little sorry for the money, but sometimes he felt that the feeling of bliss was that everything he had to pay for him was worth it.

Since then, he has never touched a woman again, and can only survive until today with the dreamlike memory. Manager Li has always been so stingy and has been penniless all the time. Until not long ago, Manager Li tripped in a valley on a rainy day, knocking heavily on the stone, and died.

The shopkeeper died. For the first time, he had been cowardly and honest all his life, he had to pluck up the courage to do something bad, swallowing up the shopkeeper's goods and money, and became the shopkeeper himself. From that day on, his dream was no longer just to have a full meal, but to have a woman of his own.

Guan Er has always dreamed that he could save enough money to marry a wife by doing business a few more times. Perhaps he was ugly, older, and married, but he was a woman after all. But he didn't expect that day would come so quickly that many years later, when he recalled that day, he still insisted that the man who smiled badly was an angel sent by God.

Another fat ass swayed in front of him. Guan Er's eyes were like feet that were trapped in the mud. When he couldn't even pull them out, a young man with a mouth as delicate as a woman blocked him and cut off his gaze.

He remembered that he frowned unhappily at the time and asked, "Are you buying mountain goods or selling mountain goods?"

The young official smiled like a blessing and said to him: "Shopkeeper, I don't buy anything, but I want to sell something."

The boy bent down and asked quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "There is a woman, do you want it?"

Many years later, Aunt Ma held the third girl from her sixth boy's house on her knees, opened her mouth with her teeth falling out, and talked about her deceased husband in a slight way, and involuntarily thought of a young man whom she could never forget.

She vaguely remembered that the young man had a mouth that was more delicate than a girl, and he smiled badly, but it was not disgusting at all.

But she would never know that after that, she had never known the name of the big man whom she had heard of once was the boy she had met. The boy had only played a guest role once in his life, and the one he sold was her.

"It's not familiar with the land, and the business is just not easy to do."

Aunt Ma, who had hit a wall several times in succession, frowned and thought. It was in a familiar place. She knew very well who had money and who lacked women. She went to the door directly and the business would be done. However, although she had been to the county town several times, she was only here to go to the market. She did not know the clear appearance of the city, so that blind people and horses would run wild.

But thinking about the pretty little lady who was so tender that she could get out of water when she pinched her hair, if she found a good family in this county, it would be at least four or five times higher than selling it into the mountains, she felt that it was worth it to work harder. Aunt Ma was thinking about whether to go to some rich man's house to ask her, suddenly someone called her: "Auntie, this aunt, please stay."

Aunt Ma turned around and saw a delicate and stingy young man who rushed over quickly, looking very honest. However, when she saw her, her little face turned red. The young man asked shyly: "Auntie, do you... do you have a niece to get married?"

Aunt Ma listened to his foreign accent, looked at his worn-out clothes and shoes that exposed his toes with their threads, frowned and said, "What, do you want to ask for a wife? Can you afford to marry a wife?"

"No, no!" The young man shook his hand in panic, his face turned redder even more embarrassed. He rubbed his hands crampedly, looked at his toes, and said, "You are just a long-term worker, how can you afford to marry a wife? Is it... our master wants to take a concubine..."

Aunt Ma suddenly realized, but looking at him as poor, he thought that his boss must be a very mean person, but he didn't know whether he could afford to spend money on women, so he said, "You guys want to take a concubine? I tell you, my niece is very handsome, and the price is not cheap."

The young man said whisperingly: "Our master has money, so don't worry, aunt. He just heard that his aunt had a pretty niece and wanted to talk to him, so he asked me to come to find him. I... I can't explain clearly. Aunt, you should tell us."

The boy was so honest that he was so honest that he was stuttering. He said just like this, his face turned red, and his forehead seemed to be sweating quickly. He stretched his sleeves to wipe his sweat from time to time. Aunt Ma smiled and said, "It's true! Then I'll go with you."

When Aunt Ma went there, she was put into a sack, and then she was moved into a donkey cart with walnuts and hawthorns and other mountain goods. She left the county town in a "squeaky" way. When she was released, she became Guan Er's wife. She was not able to walk out of the thatched hut until she was pregnant and knew where she had been.
