Chapter 2 Farewell
Li Qingshi returned to the room in a daze.
He didn't rush in directly and asked why he sold himself.
Li Qingshi is mature in his mind and knows that his father has paid too much for this family. It’s not that he can’t decide to do this.
But there is still an indescribable sadness in my heart.
During the meal, when I saw my father Li Dashan who had been away from home for a few days, I was very happy.
Li Qingshi acted like usual, as if he was about to be sold, without knowing anything about him.
The emotions in my heart were still surging, but he was hidden in his heart.
The four-year-old girl stared at Li: "Mom, why are your eyes red?"
Li put the rice porridge in front of his younger sister with an unnatural expression: "Mom's eyes are just getting dusted, so eat soon."
Li Dashan sat aside without saying a word.
This man who has a wide chest and a family of five is silent today.
The porridge was very thick. After Li Qingshi finished eating a bowl, his mother, Li quickly served him another bowl.
Dad, Li Dashan didn't stop it for the first time.
While licking the bowl in his hand, the younger brother and sister stared at the porridge in Li Qingshi's hand.
Li Qingshi had something hidden in his heart, but the porridge of the past was no longer delicious at all.
But he didn't want his parents to see it.
After taking a few more sips, he said he couldn't drink it anymore and distributed the remaining porridge to his younger brothers and sisters.
Seeing Li Qingshi's sensible appearance, Li could no longer control his suppressed emotions.
Covering his mouth, tears tickled down and rushed out of the room.
My parents’ abnormal reaction today made my younger brother and sister a little scared.
But Li Qingshi felt relieved of those inexplicable emotions.
After getting the beads, his mind became more and more flexible.
Although I am only eight years old, I have already understood a lot of truths.
He knew that his parents liked him after all, and he was not that uncomfortable.
In the next few days, the porridge at home was much thicker than before.
My mother, Li, even buried her head in a pair of small soles.
Several times, Li Qingshi got up and peed.
Everyone saw their mother, Li, in the yard, lying on the moonlight, stitching the soles of her shoes.
The little boy vaguely felt that this home could no longer shelter him from the wind and rain.
On the seventh day after Li Dashan returned, there were hundreds of people around the entire village at the entrance of Qingshan Village.
More than a dozen strong men, one of whom was holding a teenage child, surrounded by three carriages.
Behind were some crying women, the mothers of those children.
Aside the carriage, there was a pile of food in bags.
A few strange faces and strong men were guarding the side with big swords.
Among the more than a dozen teenagers, Li Qingshi is the youngest and thinnest.
He saw his mother, Li, in the crowd, that thin woman.
Li held his younger brother and sister in both hands, and tears flowed in his eyes.
But there are no extra hands to wipe it.
The younger brother and sister next to her had no idea what was going on, and just cried with her mother, Li.
"Okay, this is a good life in the city and a good thing to be grateful to the whole family. What's there to cry about!
And do you think anyone can go? Let me spread it apart, don’t delay the work of the Sanhe Gang.”
The village has been in Qingshan Village for many years, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
"Deacon Shi, please trouble you." Seeing the crowd dispersed, the village said to a bearded man next to him with a smile on his face.
"Li Cunzheng is polite. Deacon Li specifically greeted his brothers. What's the trouble?"
The Deacon Li he mentioned was Muramasa's son.
Shi Lei said nicely, but his impatientness in his eyes could not be hidden from the old fox, Muramasa.
Hurry up and let those men with children line up and ask Shi Lei and the others to check.
Li Qingshi's small palm grabbed his father's palm tightly, and looked at all this nervously.
I saw the two young men behind the Deacon, grabbing the children in front.
I carefully examined the child's hands, feet and teeth that were so scared that he didn't move.
I found that they were all healthy, so I nodded, registered my name, and pulled it aside.
Seeing that passing by, Muramasa shouted loudly: "Li Gouzi, pass by, come here to get the food."
Li Gouzi's father walked forward with a hunched over.
In the village of Matsuna, he pressed his palm on a box of red mud paste and printed it on a piece of paper.
After finishing, he wiped his tears and took away a full ten bags of food from the piled on the side with great gratitude.
Seeing this scene, the crying sounds in the crowd were a little less, and everyone looked at the food with a fiery look.
Li Qingshi didn't say a word and watched all this.
As long as you are healthy, have good hands and feet, and have a normal mind, the other party will take it all down.
So the inspection speed is very fast.
One child after another successfully exchanged it for ten bags of living food at home.
On the contrary, one person is over fourteen years old and the other party doesn't want it.
Li Qingshi saw that the man's family looked very ugly, and he obviously couldn't sell his son, so he couldn't accept it.
But clearly, the tears on their faces have not dried yet...
Soon, it was Li Qingshi's turn.
After the man checked his hands, feet and teeth, the examiner asked him: "What's your name?"
Seeing that others were tall and big, Li Qingshi was a little scared, and gritted his teeth and replied, "The nickname is Xiaoshitou, the nickname is Li Qingshi."
Seeing Li Qingshi's clear mouth, the strong man couldn't help but look at him twice.
After inspection, it was pulled aside.
Li Qingshi felt relieved when he saw that his father Li Dashan also received ten bags of food.
But at this moment, I began to feel a little scared.
The children next to me cried because they knew they were leaving home.
Li Qingshi was afraid, but he remembered the words of his mother, Li, that not many children who were sold to survive!
But seeing the full ten bags of food beside his father Li Dashan, Li Qingshi clenched his fists and tried not to think about it.
Li Qingshi's thin body shrank among more than a dozen teenagers and was inconspicuous at all.
When he thought of death, the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid.
In order to divert attention, he raised his head carefully and looked at the deacon Shi and several other strange faces.
The village official, who is usually prestigious in the village, took his fat grandson and hunched over and spoke with the deacon Shi.
Li Qingshi had heard of the fat grandson of the Munmasa family and boasted about the Sanhe Gang.
I have said more than once that the people in the Sanhe Gang are all great masters who can fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, cut off a tree with one knife, etc.
Li Qingshi looked at the people from the Sanhe Gang carefully, but couldn't figure it out.
These people can really fly over the eaves and walk on the walls and cut off big trees with one knife?
As he thought about it, Li Qingshi actually became a little expectant of the Sanhe Gang.
There were more than a dozen teenagers, and they all checked them soon.
"Okay, after picking the people, go back quickly." Deacon Shi shouted, and carried Li Yuan next to him onto the carriage in front.
There were three cars, the Shi Deacon and the fat Li Yuan, and the big men who came.
Li Qingshi and the other young men from the same village crowded on the last carriage.
Without even having time to call the last greeting, Li Qingshi only glanced at him before getting in the car.
Crying younger brother and sister, mother and father with numb expression.
There was a pile of food next to my father, which was his money for selling.
Li Qingshi remembered this scene in his heart.
