Bai Shan arranged the rest of the people and handed them over to the managers of various industries. As for those men, because they had no special talents, they were taken away by Zhao Mingyi and sent to the official fields outside the city to farm.
Yuan Sanlang and Yuan Silang were among them.
The two brothers were very silent. When they saw so many houses and people in the open field, they became even more silent. At the same time, they became deeply worried, "With so many people, can we really pay us wages?"
However, they didn’t have much time to think. Their foreman knocked on the clapper and told them to line up to get the things, “After getting the things, go get the farm tools and work. Have you seen this piece of wasteland? There are still three days left. It must be opened, if it is late, everyone's wages will be deducted."
The two brothers stopped thinking about it, and immediately went to get the things and put them back on their berths.
Zhou Man took the little lady back to the houya, glanced at her wooden sign, "You Qian Xiaoyang, this name is quite unique, who gave it to you?"
She whispered: "My mother took it, she said my father chased her with a sheep."
Zhou Man: ...
"Which... did you work in before?"
"Same as Sister Sijing, we used to be at Master Zhu's house. Sister Sijing was sold since she was a child. I was born as a servant because my mother was a servant."
As Sijing said, Xiao Yang is really honest, she basically answers what Zhou Man asks, and sometimes in order to clarify things, she will lay a lot of groundwork and explain related things clearly.
For example, Zhou Man asked her if she wanted to settle in Beihai County, or would she follow her from now on
Zhou Man said: "If you follow me, you can sign a living deed. Of course, if you want to sign a dead deed, you can also sign a dead deed. If you want to settle in Beihai County, you have to set up a female household. But female households also have to pay taxes. You have Consider it?"
The lamb thought for a while and said: "I will follow the adults, as long as the adults can give me enough food, it is fine not to beat me, and you can scold me as you like."
She paused and said: "Actually, you can hit me, but not too hard. If you hit too hard, I will run away."
For this reason, she gave an example: "The reason why I ran out was because my aunt and cousin always beat me. If the adults beat me too hard, I would also run away."
Wuyue and Jiulan on the side: ...
Even Xibing, who thought his intestines were all the way to the bottom, couldn't help being speechless, and then couldn't help but said to her: "Are you stupid, even if you think so in your heart, you can't say it out, you have to run away to talk." , you tell the adults now, can you still run?"
Wuyue and Jiulan: ...then you should just think about it in your heart, and remind people in private, what's the matter if you say it in front of the lady now
The two of them are in the same boat, so let's not talk about each other.
Wu Yue quickly picked up the topic and asked, "People from your uncle's family beat you? Are you injured?"
"Yes." Qian Xiaoyang rolled up her sleeves to show them boldly. There were bloodstains on her arms, which should be made from rattan. She said, "There is still on the back, do you want to see it?" ?”
May frowned slightly, looking at Zhou Man.
Seeing that the patient had already arrived at the medical office, Zhou Man said to Wu Yue and Xibing, "Take her inside to have a look."
After Zhou Man saw the two patients, Xibing came out to find Zhou Man indignantly, "The back was punched out with a shoulder pole, lady, go and have a look, I suspect she has suffered internal injuries."
Zhou Man frowned, told the rest of the patients to wait, and hurried to see her.
The injury on the back was blue and black, it must have been for a while, when Zhou Man pressed her lightly, she hissed, and moved uncomfortably, it must be pain.
Zhou Man felt her pulse and asked, "Does it usually not hurt?"
Qian Xiaoyang said indifferently: "If you don't think about it, it won't hurt."
She said: "I'm not smart, I can only think about one thing at a time, so every time I feel pain, I try to think about other things, and then forget about the pain."
Jiulan was dumbfounded, "How can there be such a person?"
"Yes," Qian Xiaoyang said, "I am."
She said: "My mother said this is a good thing, so I can live a long time."
Only then did Zhou Man remember to ask, "Where are your father and mother? Why do you live with your uncle's family?"
"My mother is dead, my father. I have never seen him. He is a barbarian. When my mother followed the master to Beidi, he exchanged my mother with a sheep for the master. Unfortunately, he met a horse thief. She died protecting our mother and mother, but my mother had no choice but to bring me back with the master, and then she has been helping the Zhu family."
"I wish the family committed a crime, the master was arrested, the lord and the ladies were all driven out, and we were also arrested. Later, the new county magistrate said that the master's evil has nothing to do with us low-level servants, so we were released. Let us be good citizens." Although Qian Xiaoyang is not smart, she remembers these reasons very clearly. She said: "My uncle and cousin both shared the land, and my aunt and I are women, so we have no land, so we can only Go plant uncle and cousin's land."
She touched her arm carefully and said: "They dislike me for eating too much, in fact, I don't want to eat so much, I have tried to eat as little as possible, but my aunt and cousin are still very angry, so they beat me. "
She sighed: "Sister Sijing said that I can no longer stay at my uncle's house, otherwise I will be beaten to death one day. If I am beaten to death, not only my mother will be disturbed, but my uncle and his family will also be killed because of the murder. I was in jail, so for them not to go to jail, I had to run out."
May Three was dumbfounded.
Zhou Man praised her and said: "That's right, what Sijing said is right, and what you did is right. If someone beats you like this in the future, fight back if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it. Otherwise, you will not only suffer, but also beat you." Your people have also committed crimes, and the gains on both sides outweigh the losses."
Hearing Zhou Man praise her, Qian Xiaoyang felt more at ease, and felt more and more that he had done nothing wrong.
Zhou Man prescribed medicines for her, some for internal use and some for external use, one for external use, one for bathing, and one for ointment.
She said: "You don't have to do anything these two days, just follow me and pass some things. Let Xibing take the ointment for you. It's for bathing. I'll grab a few packs for you when you go back in the evening. You let the kitchen boil it." Take a bath in the future, just soak for a quarter of an hour, this is a medicine taken internally, and Xiao Kou will boil it for you later... "
She turned her head to Wuyue and said: "She can't lift weights these days, you should pay more attention."
May three people solemnly agreed.
Bai Shan didn't know about Qian Xiaoyang until the evening, and then he became more and more curious, "You called her by name because you saw that she was wounded? You can't do that? If you want to treat her wounds, just let me know. Can you stop it?"
"...No," Zhou Man said, "I think she has excellent bones and bones, and is very suitable for martial arts."
Bai Shan: "...Really? Can you, a person with poor bones, see a bone suitable for martial arts?"
