Chapter 59 The road is rough
It was already afternoon after I bought the house.
Liang Ping'an and Ping Jun were also hungry, so they immediately locked the courtyard door and went to find a small restaurant nearby to have lunch.
Then the two of them drove to Nancheng Street in Pingjun. Nancheng Street was full of people, and there were human traffickers on the street.
Liang Ping'an and Ping Jun rushed to Nancheng to buy a few rough servants and boys.
Although in ancient times, the constant buying and selling of people made Liang Ping'an, who still had some modern ideas, feel uncomfortable with it, in ancient times, famines, various natural disasters, and of course man-made disasters occurred all the time, which made it difficult for many families to live.
If he wants to live, he can only do lower jobs and make a living. Even a lowly livelihood cannot fall on him. The only thing he can do is to pawn himself and beg for a bite of food. No matter what kind of work he does
.
Liang Pingjun drove his car to Nancheng Street, where he saw people standing on both sides of the street, placing sales bids.
Liang Pingan jumped down from the carriage.
Liang Pingjun also jumped down. He only held the horse's reins and followed behind.
The two of them had just arrived at Nancheng Street and entered when suddenly there was a commotion nearby.
Liang Pingan and Ping Jun both looked over.
I saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes directing three or four slaves to go forward and grab four young people beside the road.
These four young men are naturally prostitutes, but they look like they have big bones, but are very thin. At first glance, it seems that as long as they take some time to raise themselves, they will definitely be strong laborers.
It's just that the middle-aged envoy pulled them away, as if he was trying to force the four young men away.
Liang Ping'an and Ping Jun also followed the crowd and surrounded them. At this time, they saw four teenagers who were as skinny as skin and bones. Although they had no strength, they still refused to be pulled away by those people.
When the middle-aged man in Jinyi saw the crowd gathered around him, he immediately said loudly: "Everyone, please comment. I have already paid for them, but they just refused to come with me. Everyone is here to comment. This is not the case."
Blackmailing me?"
When the four young men saw what the middle-aged man said, they were shocked. One of the young men immediately said loudly:
"Masters, young masters, young ladies, and ladies, unless we four brothers don't let him buy it, we four brothers have agreed that we can buy it, but our little sister must be included.
But this master is willing to buy us, but he refuses to take our little sister, so this is a failed business, but he made people force us to leave!"
When the middle-aged man in Jinyi was told this, his face suddenly felt hot, and he said: "That half-dead sister of yours, how do you want me to take her away!"
When everyone in the crowd heard what he said, they immediately looked at a little girl lying on a straw mat behind the four teenagers.
Looking at the little girl's appearance, she seemed to be dying.
It's no wonder that the middle-aged man in Jinyi doesn't want to buy the little girl.
Liang Pingan's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man in brocade: "As the saying goes, you can't buy or sell by force, right? Don't make things difficult for these young people. Since they don't want to, let them go!
"
"This... this!" The middle-aged man in Jinyi was obviously angered by the four teenagers before, so he sent the strong servant to rob someone. When he saw Liang Ping'an coming up to say something, he just said
Somewhat discouraged.
"Yes, this is a matter of mutual consent. Why do you, a high-ranking official, have trouble with those four young men who sold themselves out?" There was also such a voice in the crowd.
"Hey! Let's go!" The middle-aged man in golden clothes saw that everyone on the street was standing on the side of the four teenagers, so he immediately flicked his sleeves, led the healthy servants, separated from the crowd and left.
When the four young people saw that the middle-aged man in Jinyi let them go, the crowd gradually dispersed. The four young people immediately knelt down directly in front of Liang Pingan.
Liang Ping'an hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"
One of the young men said: "Thank you very much, Master, for your help!" Then he kowtowed heavily.
Then the other three young men also kowtowed to Liang Ping'an.
Liang Ping'an hurriedly went to help them and said: "How can this be done? Get up quickly!"
After the teenagers all stood up, Liang Ping'an then took a look at the little girl lying behind. The little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
Liang Ping'an felt pity for a moment, and said to the four teenagers: "Why don't you take her to see a doctor?"
One of the young men said: "We...we are penniless..."
Seeing that all these young men were so poor that they were about to sell themselves, and naturally they couldn't afford medical treatment, Liang Ping'an suddenly came to his senses.
Liang Ping'an said: "I have a car, you follow me now, and we will send your sister to the doctor together!"
At this time Liang Pingjun came over with the car.
When the four teenagers heard what Liang Pingan said, they all became happy, but their eyes were red and they didn't say anything at the moment. It was important to see a doctor for their sister at this time.
Liang Pingjun drove, Liang Ping'an, four teenagers and a girl who already looked like she was dying, came to the best medical center in the capital, "Baohe Tang".
The old doctor sitting in the clinic took her pulse, touched the girl's forehead, and immediately sighed: "You have such a fever, why didn't you send her here earlier?"
When he said this, the four teenagers all looked ashamed, and Liang Ping'an stepped forward, cupped his hands towards the doctor, and said sincerely: "Doctor, how is she? As long as she can be cured, money is not a problem."
The old doctor touched his goatee and then said: "If it had been someone else, she probably wouldn't have been able to save her life, but I can still save her."
"Then please leave it to the old man!" Liang Ping'an bowed to the end. This is a very serious etiquette.
The old Chinese doctor took a silver needle and pricked the girl's acupuncture points a few times, causing some black blood to flow out. At this time, the girl slowly woke up.
As soon as he woke up, the four young men gathered around him and cried with joy.
Then the doctor prescribed a prescription and filled the medicine, but the money for the medicine was twenty taels of silver.
This is already very expensive. These twenty taels of silver can at least buy a nice house with a small courtyard in the most narrow area of the capital city where land is at a premium.
Liang Ping'an didn't even blink. He took out a twenty-tael silver ingot and handed it to the old doctor.
Then he took the four teenagers and the girl onto the carriage. As soon as they got into the carriage, Liang Ping'an said to them: "You go to my place first and wait until your sister recovers."
Liang Pingjun shouted "Drive!~" in front of him. Immediately, the car drove towards Liang Ping'an's house.
After a while, the carriage arrived in front of the house that Liang Ping'an bought.
Opening the courtyard door and walking in, Liang Pingjun was busy working in a cleaner room - after all, it was newly bought, and the house was very good, but there was a lot of dust inside.
There was a small couch in the room, and one of the boys carried their sister there. Liang Ping'an then asked Liang Pingjun to borrow some stove fire from a neighbor nearby to cook the medicine.
