After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Feng Jingheng and his colleagues worked at a grain depot, carrying bags. It was wheat harvest season, so they had to carry wheat. However, the wheat harvest wasn't very good this year, and it was nearing the end of the harvest, so there wasn't much work to do.

When they arrived, there were only a dozen sacks of wheat left.

Feng Jinghua was carrying a bag. When he saw them coming, he nodded at them but didn't speak to them.

Feng Jingheng said, "I'll go find the manager. You rest here for a while. There's not much work here, so it should be done soon."

Ye Xunqing looked at the man working hard under the scorching sun and suddenly realized that Feng Jingheng had been like this before, so he grabbed Feng Jingheng's wrist and said, "Don't go. You won't make much money."

Feng Jingheng comforted him, saying, "Whatever you can do is better."

Then he went to find the person in charge. I don’t know what they talked about, but after a while, Feng Jingheng came back.

He scratched his head and said, "The manager said they have enough people today and the work will be done soon, so I'm no longer needed."

As he was speaking, the last sack of wheat was carried away by Feng Jinghua, and then the people carrying the sack waited for the manager to pay them.

Ye Xunqing and the others hid in a shady place nearby, waiting for Feng Jinghua to come find them after distributing the money.

"Hey, there's not much work today, and the money isn't much either." Feng Jinghua's face flushed with exhaustion. "Qing'er, Bai'er, big brother will treat you to mung bean soup."

Feng Jingheng said, "Brother, keep the money. I'll treat you."

Feng Jinghua said, "That won't work. I'm the eldest brother, how can I let you treat me?"

Ye Xunqing held Feng Jingheng and said, "Thank you, brother."

Feng Jinghua was happy. Although the money was not much, it was enough for them to drink mung bean soup. Besides, it was almost noon, and they had to find a cool place to sit.

Four people just happened to sit at one table. Feng Jinghua called out, "Boss, four bowls of mung bean soup, please."

The boss immediately took out mung bean soup from the bucket. This street stall definitely didn't put any ice in the soup. The mung bean soup was cooled down and then cooled down with deep well water. It did taste a little cold when I drank it.

Although Ye Xunqing likes to drink boiled water, seeing that his stomach and intestines can adapt to drinking a mixture of raw and cooked water, he also drank mung bean soup.

"Xiaobai, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Ye Xunqing asked Ye Xunbai. Actually, he wanted to ask Feng Jingheng and the others what they wanted to eat, but he was afraid that they would be embarrassed to say it, so he used his younger brother as an excuse.

"Xiaobai wants to eat meat!" Ye Xunbai said greedily, "Let's eat the roast chicken from Juxianglou!"

"Juxianglou, what a familiar name?" Ye Xunqing thought about it and realized that it was the place where they went to sell peaches last time.

"It's the largest restaurant in town. Their roast chicken is very famous, but it's very expensive, one penny of silver per chicken." Feng Jinghua touched Xiaobai's head, "You're quite adventurous in eating."

"Then let's go and eat." Ye Xunqing also wanted to try the roast chicken of this era to see how it tasted.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Ye Xunqing just stood up and heard a noise coming from the side and the sound of a whip hitting someone.

Ye Xunbai was so scared that he burst into tears on the spot. He threw himself into his brother's arms and said, "I'm scared, scared..."

Ye Xunqing felt very distressed. It must be because Ye Laosi often beat them at home before, so Xiaobai was so scared.

"Don't be afraid, brother is here." Ye Xunqing picked up Xiaobai and touched his face with his. "Don't be afraid, Xiaobai. No one will dare to hit you in the future."

Brothers Feng Jingheng and Feng Jinghua looked over there, not knowing what was happening.

"What a sin!" said the mung bean soup vendor, "Another poor soul has been sold by his family."

Ye Xunqing looked over there and saw a shirtless man with a whip in his hand, whipping the man, cursing as he did so: "What bad luck! I thought I bought a beautiful girl, but she turned out to be a lunatic. Not only is she crazy, but she also bites people everywhere. My two taels of silver have all gone down the drain!"

The man he beat up looked like a boy. He was wearing tattered clothes and his hair was dirty. He probably hadn't taken a shower in days.

Ye Xunqing asked: "Who is that?"

Feng Jingheng stood next to him and said, "That's a human trafficker, specializing in buying and selling people."

Ye Xunqing knew that people in ancient times would engage in human trafficking, but he didn't expect that it still existed in this era.

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Xunqing carried Xiaobai over.

Feng Jingheng followed him, but Feng Jinghua said, "Second Brother, call Qingge'er back, don't let him get involved in bad luck."

Feng Jingheng was unwilling to do so. He said, "We can't just watch someone get beaten to death."

Feng Jinghua couldn't stand there alone, so she followed.

The trafficker angrily whipped the boy in front of him, but the boy said nothing and just squatted in the corner with his head in his arms.

"If you beat him to death, you won't be able to sell him at a good price." Ye Xunqing said.

The trafficker heard the sound, stopped and looked at Ye Xunqing, "What the hell is it to you? I paid for it, and you still don't allow me to beat him?"

"After being beaten like this, how much can it be worth?" Ye Xunqing frowned and said, "It's thin, small, and dirty. If you can sell it for a tael of silver, I'll consider you a great person."

The trafficker became even angrier. "Damn it! I spent two taels of silver to buy him. He looked pretty and I thought I could sell him for more money. I didn't expect him to be a lunatic who only knows how to bite people."

"Then you're at a loss this time." Ye Xunqing took a closer look and said, "He's covered in wounds and smells so bad, I guess he won't sell for much. And look at him like this. If you give him two more lashes, your two taels of silver will be wasted."

Hearing him say this, the trafficker calmed down a bit. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you think you want to buy it?"

Ye Xunqing laughed, "Are you kidding? If I were a poor man, I might spend some money to buy him back as my wife. At least he can have children."

The trafficker was very annoyed. "Get lost! What's the point of a guy like you joining in the fun here? Don't disturb my business."

"I won't interfere with your business." Ye Xunqing said, "I'm just a little curious. I want to see how much you can sell it for in the end."

The trafficker whipped him and said, "Go away, go somewhere cooler. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sell you out too."

Feng Jingheng appeared behind Ye Xunqing, his eyes sparkling, as if he wanted to leave. "Who are you going to sell?"

Ye Xunqing said with a smile: "Ah Heng, you are here, come and take a look at this trafficker, look at what he has done to the goods, oh my, it's so miserable!"

The trafficker saw Feng Jingheng and had another idea. "Big guy, if you want to buy a boy back, I'll give you a discount. How about three taels of silver?"
