Chapter 517 Slums

It's too dirty here, there is no good road under your feet. Last night, it was a little rainy, and the yellow mud path is full of mottled footprints.

Su Ying didn't want the two children to go with her, but Xiao Jin said nothing.

His original words were, "One is the eldest princess and the other is the eldest son of the emperor. They can't only see the countless prosperity in their eyes. They should know the suffering of the people."

Su Ying feels that Xiao Jin still has some ideas when it comes to education.

The husband and wife took the child's hand and walked in along the path. Xiao Jin walked in the middle of these houses, which was directly a head higher than these houses. How could it be comfortable to live in this place.

"You **** girl, you don't want to lose money, you just want to eat when you don't work every day. I should have drowned you in the urine bucket when I knew you were so useless!"

"Ah, mom, don't beat me, I didn't steal sweet potatoes, I didn't steal my brother's sweet potatoes."

They hadn't gone far before they heard a burst of shouting and cursing from the front. After a while, a thin figure rushed towards them. Maybe she was trying to dodge the people behind her, but she didn't notice Su Ying and the others, and bumped into them all at once. On Xiao Jin's lap.

Seeing this, the imperial guards immediately stepped forward vigilantly, Xiao Jin waved his hand to signal them not to be nervous.

"Ouch!"

The thin girl staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Su Ying quickly picked her up to prevent her from colliding with the stones on the ground.

However, when she grabbed the little girl's arm, she was still shocked by her thinness.

Seeing Su Ying and the others unfamiliar, the little girl was so frightened that she broke away from Su Ying's hand and backed away repeatedly.

"You **** girl still dare to run, see if I don't beat you to death!" The cursing woman chased after her, didn't notice Su Ying and the others, and hit the little girl with the broom in her hand.

"Ah! Mother, don't hit me, don't hit me." The little girl screamed in pain.

Su Ying frowned slightly, after thinking for a while, she reached out and stopped the woman, "What mistake did she make?"

The woman raised her head to look at Su Ying when she heard Su Ying's voice, and shivered a little when she saw her clean and tidy eyes, which came from the inferiority complex in her bones.

"She, she ate her brother's sweet potato secretly."

"I, I didn't, I didn't steal it, yes, my brother finished it by himself, I didn't steal it..."

"You still said you didn't steal it, so where did your brother's sweet potatoes go?"

In a blink of an eye, Su Ying saw a younger boy walking behind him, and found that there were sweet potato residues around his mouth. He walked up to the woman and made a face at the little girl. Very satisfied with the lesson.

"You're not afraid of wild dogs eating you when you lie and cheat?"

The little boy glanced at Su Ying and timidly shrank behind the woman, "I, I didn't lie."

"I'm not lying, how did you get the sweet potato residue in your mouth?"

The little boy hurriedly reached out to wipe his mouth when he heard the words. Su Ying knew that he was deliberately framing the little girl.

At the beginning of human beings, human nature is inherently evil, as expected.

The woman also realized that she had wronged the girl, but she still stuck her neck and said: "You lose money, you don't work all day long, you just want to run out to play and dodge, see if I don't kill you!"

This time, Su Ying dodged the woman's broom and threw it to the ground, "You already know it's not her fault, but you still don't want to let her go. She is also a human being, not your punching bag."

The woman was furious at what Su Ying said, "She eats and drinks from me, so what if I beat her? If it wasn't for me, she would have died long ago."

"If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have come to this world to suffer!"

"You, who are you, why do you care about my family's affairs? If you want to, you can buy her for money. If you buy her back, you can do whatever you want with her, just treat her as a treasure It seems that no one will tell you if you hold it."

As soon as the little girl heard that her mother was going to sell herself, she cried and grabbed her leg and shouted: "Mom, mother, please, please don't sell me, I won't eat, from now on I will eat one Sweet potato, please don't sell me."

Su Ying even saw the look of expectation in the woman's eyes, "Will you come with me?"

The little girl looked at Su Ying with strange eyes.

Both Dabao and Erbao frowned tightly. They had been exiled and were almost sold back then, so they can empathize with the little girl’s experience.

"Don't be afraid, my mother is a good person, if you are willing to go with us, you will be full in the future."

Maybe they were all children of the same age. Looking at Dabao and the others, the little girl was not so scared, especially when she heard that she was full, she swallowed subconsciously.

"Yes, can I have a full meal?"

"That's right, you can be full. There are rice and meat buns, which are delicious."

The little girl was moved.

The woman took the opportunity to ask the price: "Five liang of silver, you can buy it if you want it."

"It's not that expensive for me to buy an adult, two taels, it won't be more than a penny."

The woman insisted, "No, not even one or two less."

"Then don't buy it."

Su Ying saw that the woman's eyes were weak, but she still pretended to be tough. She didn't counter-offer anymore, she pulled Dabao and they turned around and left.

The woman panicked when she saw Su Ying and the others leave, but she didn't want the duck she got to fly away, so she quickly talked about selling it.

Su Ying didn't look back but let the imperial army handle it, and buying and selling people also had to be registered.

"After the person takes it away, let's put it in the academy, and put it in the youngest class."

"yes."

"Do you still want to go?" When such a thing happened, their mood became bad.

"Walk."

Xiao Jin responded, hugged Erbao and continued to walk down.

The further you walk, the narrower the path inside, and occasionally you can see children playing on the path outside. They are all dirty, with two tubes of snot hanging from their noses, staring eagerly at them with **** eyes. Su Ying them.

Most of the people in these houses are old people, women and children. Adult men should be looking for work during the day, so they don't see many.

"Huh? Isn't that the sister who bought cakes in the morning? Sister?"

Su Ying turned her head and saw the little girl selling cakes in the morning. She remembered that her name was Moon.

"It's Sister Moon."

Yue Yue walked up to them with a smile and was a little puzzled, "Sister, do you live here too?"

Su Ying shook her head, "No, I just passed by here to have a look."

"That's just right. My sister came to my house as a guest. My mother said she would make sweet dates for us. The sweet dates made by my mother are better than those sold in dim sum shops. Sister, come and try."

Yue Yue’s family lives here, and they must know more about the situation here. She glanced at Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin nodded, and they followed Yue Yue with their two treasures.

"Father, mother, there are guests at home."
