The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

The mule cart swayed slowly and finally arrived at Xiao Yuzhu's temporary residence in Qingshan Village - Old Man Wu's home - before the sun set.

Ye Fanxing looked at the five small mud houses that were even more dilapidated than his own home, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, he was worried about whether Song Haoming and his son, who were far away from home, could eat and drink well without him around.

In this Daqingshan area, where the mountains are connected, there is very little land suitable for farming, and most of the villagers rely on hunting for a living.

But prey is not so easy to hunt, so life is getting poorer and poorer. But the poorer they are, the more boys are born in every household, which makes matchmaking the most difficult thing in the village.

This has resulted in the situation that most of the women and boys in the village are bought from other places.

Old Man Wu's wife was also sold here by human traffickers. The only difference was that she sold herself for her family. She injured herself when giving birth to her youngest son and passed away not long after.

He had to play both father and mother role, and it took him a lot of effort to raise his three sons to adulthood, and helped them get married and have children.

Of course, their husbands and wives were also bought from human traffickers, and this trafficker was none other than Xiao Yuzhu.

Seeing that his three sons all had someone to warm their beds at night, Old Man Wu also began to think about hiring someone else to serve him.

So when Xiao Yuzhu brought people into his yard, his eyes lit up, but he also knew that based on the young man's appearance and temperament, he would definitely not stay in their Qingshan Village to be a husband.

Old Man Wu first greeted Xiao Yuzhu and others, and then rubbed his big and rough hands nervously.

"Master Yuzhu, can you also help me find someone to accompany me till old age?"

"People want..." Old Man Wu thought about it and gave up these unrealistic ideas. "As long as they are alive and in good health, I have no other requests."

"Live?"

Ye Fanxing looked at Xiao Yuzhu as if she were a monster, "Don't tell me, you still sell dead people?"

Before Xiao Yuzhu could answer, she heard Old Man Wu say, "All weddings and funerals in the surrounding villages have to go through Master Yuzhu. I'm not trying to scare you, but the dead here are much more valuable than the living."

"..."

Although Ye Fanxing knew that these people were hateful, he did not expect that they would be so unscrupulous that they would not even let go of the money of the dead!

He must escape today...

Seeing that Ye Fanxing's face turned pale with fright at Old Man Wu's words, Xiao Yuzhu nodded at Old Man Wu with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to ask Gangzi to carry Ye Fanxing into the house, he heard an untimely voice.

"Gululu..."

Ye Fanxing lowered his head helplessly and looked at his stomach which was so empty that it couldn't be any emptyer.

When Doctor Wu heard Ye Fanxing's hungry voice, he couldn't help but remember that he had also been hungry for a long time after being sold here.

Thinking of this, Doctor Wu felt a pang in his heart. He looked at the frightened, pale-faced, and somewhat thin man in front of him, his eyes full of pity.

He looked at Wu Da beside him and asked bravely, "Little brother, are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I only drank a few sips of water these two days, and didn't eat anything else."

As Ye Fanxing spoke, he did not forget to look up and glance at Xiao Yuzhu. His eyes seemed to be saying: He is the one who does nothing, while they are enjoying the good life and are just starving me on purpose.

"Wait a minute, I'll give it to you..."

Doctor Wu felt very distressed after hearing this, and blurted out the words without thinking. Fortunately, Wu Da pulled him back and made him change his words quickly.

"I'll get you some food. It's cold in the mountains in early autumn. Come inside and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

"Thank you!"

Ye Fanxing was not sure whether Hua Kongque would allow him to have this meal, but he had to express his gratitude to the only person in the Wu family courtyard who showed kindness to him.

Seeing Ye Fanxing excitedly thanking him when she heard that there would be food, Doctor Wu felt even more distressed for some reason.

Xiao Yuzhu stood aside and saw Ye Fanxing's pitiful appearance. She suddenly felt that she had done something that would anger God and man by not letting him eat during the whole journey!

"Gangzi, untie the ropes on him first. He can't do anything if he's left alone in Qingshan Village."

When Xiao Yuzhu saw that Ye Fanxing did not thank her for asking Gangzi to untie the ropes for him, she immediately regretted her decision.

Ye Fanxing noticed Xiao Yuzhu's dissatisfied look, so he acted like a good boy and nodded obediently to him. He didn't want to be tied up anymore.

Xiao Yuzhu had argued with Ye Fanxing a lot along the way, and he didn't believe that he could really be so honest. "Don't be happy too soon, you still have to sleep in my room tied up tonight."

"You can tie me up, but before you do that, can you give me a pack of drugs first, so that I don't accidentally make a sound and ruin your fun!"

"you……"

Xiao Yuzhu was speechless and thought to herself, see, this guy, you can't treat him well.

Ye Fanxing watched the rope being untied and was too lazy to argue with Xiao Yuzhu. He ran towards the kitchen where Doctor Wu went like a starving ghost.

Apart from being hungry, he mainly wanted to get some useful information from this person who was relatively friendly to him.

When Doctor Wu saw Ye Fanxing following him into the kitchen, he thought that Ye Fanxing was really hungry, so he wanted to hand him a vegetable dumpling that he had made this morning to fill his stomach first. However, he didn't expect that this guy was trying to trick him into talking.

"Are you resigned to your fate? Are you not planning on running away?"

Ye Fanxing had a reason to ask this. After all, the doors of the two rooms in the yard were closed, and from time to time, the sound of a woman crying and a man beating and scolding could be heard from inside...

As for what was going on inside, he knew it without having to guess too much.

The fact that Doctor Wu was allowed to leave the house proved that the Wu family trusted him, so Ye Fanxing asked this question instead of asking him to escape with her.

Doctor Wu looked around and still stuffed the vegetable dumplings into Ye Fanxing's hands. "Well, I accept my fate. If my family is kind to me, they won't sell me out. Doctor Wu is a good man and can protect me."

Many people were sold to Daqing Mountain, but few were protected and loved by their husbands. Most of them were really disobedient and were eventually sold by the villagers. Here, people are worse than animals...

While Ye Fanxing listened to Doctor Wu introducing the situation in the village to him, he quickly ate the hard-to-swallow vegetable dumplings. If he didn't eat something, he would be so hungry that he could hardly lift his arms, let alone run away.

Doctor Wu knew that he wanted to run away. He hesitated for a moment and pointed at the backpack in the corner: "Remember to take it with you when you leave..."
