What a child tower!
It is clearly the Daughter Tower!
Chen Jinyu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her eyes were almost smoking.
Jiang Shaohua was a little angry in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "This child has met this princess, so he is destined to be with me. If you abandon him, this county The Lord bought her.”
Hearing the word princess, the old woman became weak again and turned into a pile of mud.
The man cried and kowtowed: "Thank you, Princess, for saving Xiaoliu's life. It's not that I don't care about the children, it's just that I have too many children and I can't afford to raise them. It's all because of my useless father!"
Rao Shi The yard was covered with dirt. I knelt down several times and my forehead turned red.
The woman who hugged her daughter tightly kowtowed together with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Princess!"
Jiang Shaohua endured the sadness in her heart and continued: "Xiao Liu was just born. Someone will take care of you. You are Xiaoliu’s biological mother, and this important responsibility will be left to you. The princess will tell her that Xiaoliu will be given rice and food every month before she can learn the rules of the palace and work as an errand."
The woman never expected that. Xiaoliu was so excited and happy that he could still stay by his side. He couldn't speak at all and could only kowtow.
Chen Jinyu wiped her eyes with her sleeves and stepped forward to help the woman up: "You have just given birth and are weak. You are still holding the child in your arms. Please stop kneeling and kowtow."
The woman was blushing. Eyes get up.
Chen Jinyu turned to Ma Yaozong and asked: "Masher, how much money does it cost to buy a newborn child?"
Ma Yaozong calculated in his mind and replied in a low voice: "Six to ten years old children, Usually three taels of silver. When Xiao Liu was born, only two taels of silver would be enough."
Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly and said, "Go and make a sign, ask Xiao Liu's biological father to have his fingerprints printed, and then give him the money. .”
Ma Yaozong responded immediately. He brought a portable charcoal pen and paper with him, and he made a contract of betrayal over a cup of tea.
The man still had some sense of conscience. After having his fingerprints pressed, he refused to ask for Xiao Liu’s money from selling himself.
Chen Jinyu’s face darkened: “The princess bought Xiaoliu, so naturally she has to pay for it. You should collect it as soon as possible!”
“Remember, from now on the county government will send rice grains every month Come on, it’s all Xiaoliu’s food. Xiaoliu is still young and needs to be fed by his own mother. This rice grain must be eaten by Xiaoliu’s mother. Only when she is full will she have enough milk to feed Xiaoliu.”
“From now on, Xiaoliu belongs to the princess, and you must take care of her.” If she makes any mistakes, the princess will not forgive her lightly!”
Jiang Shaohua silently glanced at Chen Sheren, who was shouting fiercely and showing his teeth and claws. There were some things that she, the princess, said that were beneath her status and dignity, so it was appropriate for Chen Sheren to warn her on her behalf.
The man had no choice but to accept the money and kneel down to thank him again.
"Where is the Children's Tower?" Jiang Shaohua suddenly opened his mouth: "You lead the way, I want to go and have a look for myself."
The man did not hesitate and immediately responded, turning his head He gave the money to his mother. After the old woman took the money, she suddenly gained mental strength and her body was no longer weak.
Chen Jinyu saw this and felt the anger in her heart getting stronger. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the princess glance over.
Chen Jinyu reluctantly shut up.
After everyone left the yard, Chen Jinyu whispered: "Xiao Liu's money from selling her body should be kept by her own mother."
"In this family, Xiao Liu is the head of the family. "Grandma." Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "Don't interfere with these trivial matters."
Changing customs is inherently difficult, so don't be impatient. On this side, the woman hugging Xiaoliu was like holding a treasure, tears pouring out.
Seeing the princess and his entourage leaving, the old woman regained her courage and said, "Why are you crying! The princess bought Xiaoliu. This is a great joy. In the future, when Xiaoliu is raised, he will work as an errand in the palace, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing." , and you can still earn a monthly income. This is Xiaoliu’s creation, and it is also ours. A blessing for the whole family."
"Go in quickly and feed Xiaoliu. If Xiaoliu is hungry, let's see how I can deal with you!"
The woman doesn't dare! Crying again, he responded in a low voice, hurried back to the house, and unbuttoned his clothes.
The wailing Xiaoliu didn’t know that his fate had changed drastically, so he started sucking greedily. The woman looked at her young daughter and wanted to laugh, but tears rolled down her face again.
……
The Children's Tower is not too far away, and it only takes half an hour to walk.
This is the northwest corner of Wuyin County. There are no homes nearby for two or three miles, and there is only a solitary tower. The tower is not high, about nine feet. No bricks or stones were used, just piles of dirt.
Far away, a very strong stench drifted down the wind.
Chen Jinyu was so sick that she almost vomited.
Jiang Shaohua had smelled this smell in the military camp. It was the smell of rotting corpses. She stopped and gestured to Ma Yaozong with her eyes. Ma Yaozong understood this and immediately sent the man back.
The man walked far away, knelt down and kowtowed to the princess three times before leaving.
"This man is not a bad person." Jiang Shaohua sighed softly: "He has an old mother and wife at home, and four children. He really cannot afford to raise another child."
Chen Jinyu used Covering his mouth and nose with his hands, he said angrily: "Then you shouldn't send your child to a place like this. It's better to drown him directly in the toilet, and the child will suffer less."
"Drown the child to death with your own hands. That's murder. Normal people can't do this." Jiang Shaohua's voice was quite calm, and there were two flames in his eyes: "Send the child tower, and you can escape the condemnation of conscience."
"Princess Princess. , I am just annoyed "Very good." Chen Jinyu sniffed, her voice choked: "If Xiaoliu was a boy, wouldn't he be sent to the Children's Tower? My daughter is also a blood relative, so why is she treated so lightly?"
Jiang Shaohua stretched out his hand to hold Chen Jinyu's hand and whispered: "Sister Jinyu, I am equally angry in my heart. Today, I will level this children's tower!"
"Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao, you lead The people stepped forward, leveled the tower, dug a hole on the spot, and buried all the bodies of the infants and children inside."
A dozen soldiers responded and quickly stepped forward.
They have been in battle and killed people before. When they chopped off the heads of bandits that day, each one was more efficient than the other. When I walked into the Children's Tower today, the tragic scene I saw was truly horrifying. Someone actually felt sick to his stomach and turned around and vomited.
It’s so miserable!
The children's tower was full of bones of infants, and there was one who had just died a few days ago, and most of his skin and flesh had been eaten away by insects and ants. The strong stench also came from this young corpse.
Qin Hu kept his head silent and kicked his leg hard. Meng Sanbao also kicked him. The soldiers kicked the tower down quickly.
Next, the hole needs to be dug and filled. It was inconvenient to use weapons such as swords, so two soldiers went to look for shovels nearby. I went to the nearest houses and found three guns. The soldiers took turns using them, and they dug a deep pit in a short time.
The infant's bones were placed in a deep pit.
Lay in peace.
