At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Lianqin did not refuse these days. When she was tired, she would get on the carriage to rest. When she was not tired, she would walk with everyone downstairs.

The moment she got on the Jiangzhou official road, she cried out in relief: "Woo——"

Fubao had almost rested and was full of energy again. When he lifted the car curtain, he knew why she was crying.

On the notice board on the Jiangzhou official road, there was a large missing person portrait. The paper was a little yellowed, but it was in very good condition.

The hot-tempered woman took one look and exclaimed, "Lianqin, the person in the portrait is you, right?"

Lianqin was already sobbing and unable to speak. She staggered to the notice board and sobbed on the portrait.

Fubao hurriedly got out of the car, supported her and said, "Auntie, I'll take you back now. Don't cry. If Uncle Yang and Xiaohua see you later, they will be upset again."

When Lianqin heard this, she sobbed and wiped away her tears. The women behind her were all moved, and they had already taken the Jiangzhou official road, so there was no need to worry about their safety.

Several women lived nearby and immediately said goodbye to Fubao and his family: "My benefactor, our home is nearby. Please come to my house and have a seat."

Fubao looked at Lianqin, whose face was still covered with tears, and waved his hand: "Since you have delivered it, you should go back quickly. I appreciate your kindness, but be careful when you go out next time."

Several people shed tears: "Without you, we would have starved to death or been killed by wild beasts. How could we return home alive? I don't know how to repay you."

Li Shuangrong pulled the carriage forward slowly. Fubao stuck his head out of the window and said, "Go home quickly! See you again if we're lucky!"

The rest of the people also said goodbye: "We have reached the Jiangzhou official road, benefactor, there is no need to see us off. We can go home on our own."

Fu Bao hesitated for a moment, then took out a few taels of silver and said, "Give it to the class for travel expenses."

They waved their hands and said, "We can walk back. After receiving so much kindness from you, why do we still want money?"

Fubao stuffed the silver directly into the arms of the nearest woman: "You can go, the child must rest. You can't travel on an empty stomach."

The lady immediately knelt down on both knees and said: "Can you tell us where my home is? I will repay you in the future."

Fu Bao: "My family is in Linzhou. After experiencing the rebellion, I have no place to live now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you all. See you again in the future!"

After saying that, Li Shuangrong drove the carriage and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight with Lianqin.

After seeing so many people off, the heavy stone in Fubao's heart slowly fell to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

In the evening, in front of the mass grave, Lian Qin stumbled and pushed open the shabby little door, and tears immediately burst out.

Fubao stood outside the courtyard, listening to Yang Erwang's surprised voice inside: "Lianqin! You're back!"

In the end, the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly. Xiaohua must have heard the noise in the inner room, and she quickly ran out: "Mom!" This cry was so heartbreaking that Zhao Xiuer couldn't help crying when she heard it.

Fubao smiled and wiped away her tears: "Let's go."

She had no intention of going in to disturb their family reunion. Her original plan was to find a small fishing village by the sea to live in. It was just that she encountered this incident halfway and delayed her plan.

Li Shuangrong turned the carriage around silently and was about to leave when a scream suddenly broke out in the courtyard: "Hua'er!!!"

Then came Lianqin's cry of pain: "Erwang! Go find a doctor!"

The busier Yang Erwang was, the more mistakes he made. The courtyard was in chaos. He had a limp and it was inconvenient for him to walk. Before he even left the courtyard, Fubao heard the sound of him bumping into the wooden board.

Hearing that the situation inside was really urgent, Fubao quickly jumped out of the car and ran into the yard: "What's wrong? What happened to Xiaohua?"

Lianqin seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and fell to her feet crying: "Yishu, go and take a look at her, what happened to her..."

Fu Bao walked up to Xiao Hua with a serious expression, held her wrist, and frowned, "Uncle Yang, has Xiao Hua not eaten anything during this period?"

The girl lying on the ground was so hungry that she looked unrecognizable. Her face was sallow and her cheeks were slightly sunken. She looked nothing like the lively girl she had the last time she came.

Lianqin hugged her in her arms out of pity. Just as she was about to get angry, she saw that Yang Erwang was not much better off.

He was thin to begin with, and now his clothes were completely empty, like a skeleton with clothes hanging outside.

Lian Qin was heartbroken: "What happened? You can't even have a meal!"

Yang Erwang hung his head and said, "I mortgaged the stall and the ox cart at home."

Lianqin: “Why?!” This is the only source of income for the family. Without it, even eating will become a problem.

Yang Erwang said stubbornly: "I have to find you. If the government can't find you, I will pay more money. If they can't find you, I will find a master among the people. Someone will find you..."

Lianqin was speechless for a moment. She couldn't blame him. But her daughter's appearance broke her heart.

Fubao asked Zhao Xiuer to help carry Xiaohua to the kang inside, and took out a bag of millet from the space and handed it to Lianqin: "Hurry up and make some porridge, Xiaohua is fine, she's just hungry."

Lianqin quickly took the rice bag and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. When the thick millet porridge was ready, she first filled a bowl for Yang Erwang, and then went to feed Xiaohua.

Fu Bao was relieved to see them drinking so happily. But seeing Yang Erwang hesitated to speak, he asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Yang?"

Yang Erwang knelt down immediately, which scared Fubao and Li Shuangrong.

Fu Bao hurriedly said, "Uncle Yang, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Yang Erwang lowered his head and said, "Can I...can I sell myself to you?"

Fu Bao was stunned by his question, then frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Yang Erwang then told him everything: "We have already emptied our family's savings to find Lianqin, and we also borrowed a lot of money. Now we have borrowed from everyone around us, and I don't think I can pay it back."

Fu Bao looked at him like this, and seemed to understand something. He hesitated but still said, "I can cushion it for you first."

Yang Erwang said stubbornly: "The amount is too large. Even if I sell buns for my whole life, I still can't pay it back. But I can go and work for you. Anything is fine as long as it can pay off the debt."

This was the scene Lian Qin saw when she came out. She asked tremblingly, "How much do you owe?"

Yang Erwang held up three fingers, and Lian Qin said, "Thirty taels!"

Yang Erwang shook his head, and Lianqin really opened her eyes wide this time: "Three hundred taels!!!"

Yang Erwang stopped talking. Lianqin almost fainted from anger: "You dare to borrow 300 taels! Are you going to die?"

Fubao was also a little shocked by the amount. It cost three hundred taels just to find someone. No wonder they had spent all their family savings.

Yang Erwang knew that he could not pay back the money, so he tried hard to sell himself to the Li family. At least, they would not torture him like other families.

Fubao pondered for a long time. Lianqin came to her senses and knew that there was no better way. She also knelt down and said, "I can do anything."

The two men knelt on the ground stubbornly and refused to get up until Fubao gave in and reluctantly agreed.
