Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"Thank you, Madam, for saving our family. When my husband gets better, our family of three will work like slaves to repay Madam and all the young masters and young ladies for saving our lives!

If my husband is unlucky and cannot survive in this world, then we, mother and son, will definitely repay you double, and serve you forever in our lives, thanking you for saving us from the water and fire."

Xia Shengsheng looked at the mother and son kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and quickly helped them up.

"Get up first! We'll talk about the future later. Come back to the village with me first! There is a doctor named Zhao in our village who is very skilled in medicine. He can check on your husband, but I can't guarantee whether he can cure him."

I had wanted to ask them if they were willing to go back to Kaoshan Village with her, but now I understand their intentions.

Xia Shengsheng didn't want them to work like slaves.

But in the current situation, they can only go back to Gaoshan Village with her.

One is to see if the man can still be saved?

Second, the mother and son also needed a place to recuperate from their injuries.

Xia Shengsheng asked the people from the clinic to help carry the person onto the carriage.

She drove the car herself.

The two children were too young. Although they were familiar with donkey carts, Xia Shengsheng was worried about driving a horse-drawn carriage for such a long distance.

So she drove the carriage to carry the three of them.

Yiyi and the others went to Ye Chao and Ercheng and got on the donkey cart.

Sicheng refused to sit over there and insisted on following Xia Shengsheng, so Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to agree.

"Madam, I can drive a carriage too. Let me do it! How can we let you drive for us servants?"

The woman put the child next to the man, came out of the carriage, and wanted to take the reins from Xia Shengsheng. When she raised her arm, she suddenly felt severe pain, but she still insisted on helping to drive the carriage.

How could Xia Shengsheng agree to this? She kept urging her to go back.

"Let me do it! You are injured. When you recover, there will be plenty of work you can do! Come in first."

The woman also knew that this was not the time for her to show off.

She lifted the curtain and looked at her husband who was still unconscious inside, then lowered the curtain again and insisted on sitting outside to accompany Xia Shengsheng.

Xia Shengsheng did not refuse again.

"We live in the countryside, just like an ordinary farm family. We have to work in the fields during the busy farming season, and there is a lot of work to do on a daily basis, which is very hard.

I don't know if your husband can be saved.

But if you get better, I can return the indenture to you, and you can choose to stay or leave.

You don’t have to stay and live a hard life with us.”

When the woman heard Xia Shengsheng say this, she suddenly became panicked.

I was getting a little restless in the carriage.

“Madam, whether my husband can be saved or not, we are grateful for your kindness.

Although we, mother and son, look weak, we are very strong and can easily wash clothes, cook, chop wood and fetch water.

Although we have never been to the fields, we can learn.

Please, madam, give us a way to survive and don't drive us away. We can do a lot of work and eat very little. We will never cause any trouble to you.

Please, ma’am, no matter what happens in the future, please keep us here."

After all these years of wandering, the woman has lost some of her desire to live.

But she still has a husband and children.

Although she doesn’t know whether her husband can be saved now?

But she believed that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, the person who saved their family would do his best to save them.

Even if she lived several more lifetimes, she would never be able to repay this kindness.

In addition, the world is difficult, and she doesn't want her children to live a life of displacement anymore.

She only wanted to be protected, and she was willing to do it no matter how hard the work or life would be.

Xia Shengsheng also gave her a shot of prevention in advance.

Nowadays, the families who can afford servants are all wealthy families in the city, and the work is very easy.

But if they really wanted to stay, Xia Shengsheng would not treat them like a master. He would definitely let them do whatever work was needed at home.

Going to the fields to farm and going up the mountains to cut trees are the most basic things.

Since they had agreed in advance, they would stay with her.

Then it wouldn’t be a big problem for her to have a few more people stay for dinner.

Along the way, Xia Shengsheng got a brief understanding of the woman's family.

The woman's surname was Jin and her name was Ling. The unconscious man's surname was Wang and he was the fourth child in the family, so he was called Wang Si.

Their child is called Wang Yang. When mentioning the child, Jin Ling was obviously hesitant.

He repeatedly lifted the car curtain and looked at the child several times before he told Xia Shengsheng the truth.

It turned out that Wang Yang was a girl. Because they were afraid that the traffickers would sell Wang Yang alone to a brothel, they raised her as a boy.

It has not been discovered in these years.

Now that he has decided to follow Xia Shengsheng, Wang Yang's gender will be discovered sooner or later, so it is better to tell him early on to avoid any rift between master and servant in the future.

Xia Shengsheng really didn't realize it. Even Sicheng, who was sitting inside, looked at Wang Yang a few more times when he heard that Wang Yang was a girl. He looked like a boy no matter how he looked at her. He almost thought that Aunt Jin Ling was lying.

Jin Ling and her husband sold themselves a year ago when their daughter fell seriously ill.

There was simply no money left to pay for their daughter's medical treatment.

That's why they sold themselves. The child's illness was cured, but they also suffered hellish torture.

In order for the family of three to be able to be together in the future, every time someone comes to buy someone, no matter which one of them that person likes?

They would request that their entire family be bought together, because this would offend many buyers.

The pawnbrokers were unable to sell them repeatedly, so in order to make them obey, they whipped them.

Adults can still bear it, but they are afraid that children still can't bear it.

Finally, they compromised and asked the people in the dental clinic to sell their child to a good family.

But that day, a buyer took a fancy to Wang Yang, and the people in the dental clinic said that it was a good place and Wang Yang would definitely enjoy a good life in the future.

But for some reason, the couple always felt that something was not right.

Wang Si took the risk and secretly ran to the place where the buyer and the manager of the dental clinic were talking.

I heard that the male protagonist was a eunuch in the palace who worked in a private house outside. The eunuch had some special fetishes and liked boys under ten years old, so he bought Wang Yang.

Although Wang Yang is a girl, if they find out and ruin their good fortune, there are only two options waiting for Wang Yang.

One is to sell it back to the fireworks place.

The second is to beat to death.

When Wang Si found out, he ran out like crazy, pulling Jin Ling and Wang Yang to escape.

But how could it be so easy to escape?

After they were caught, Wang Si was beaten so hard that he vomited blood several times. There was not a single healthy spot on his body and all his internal organs were injured.

The buyer felt it was bad luck and asked someone else to take the item away. Wang Yang escaped this disaster.

But the people from the dental clinic did not let them off easily.

The three of them were locked up in the woodshed and not given any food or water for three days and three nights.

Just when they were about to die of hunger and thirst,

Later, a gatekeeper couldn't bear to watch it anymore and gave them some food, which brought them one step away from the brink of death.

Jin Ling watched as Wang Siqiang's breath gradually weakened, so she asked him to hold on for a second. When the guard changed shifts, the family of three secretly escaped from the dental clinic.

The clinic we just visited is the one closest to the dental clinic.

Jin Ling knew that they could not escape far, so she just wanted the doctor in the clinic to see her husband and give him a chance of survival.

But it was only one step away from the clinic.

Her husband couldn't hold on and fell down.
