Chapter 169: Trampled to Death

The Wu Dark Guard made a gesture, which was to tell Shopkeeper Zhao to protect the Sixth Prince and let him deal with this person. But when he wanted to have a good fight, the Dark Guard opposite suddenly fell to the ground.

Looking at the severed wounds on his neck and the guy lying on the ground with his eyes open, Wu Anwei glanced in Fubao's direction, but he didn't even see how Fubao took action.

The carriage finally stopped. Shopkeeper Zhao hugged the Sixth Prince and asked him to return the carriage, but the Sixth Prince refused. He wanted to take a look at Fu Bao first. He would feel at ease only if Fu Bao was safe.

Fu Bao stood behind his parents, with his hands close to their backs. In an instant, Fu Gui and Fu Gui's sister-in-law felt warmth on their backs. The pain just now slowly subsided, and their spirits improved.

"Father, mother, how are you feeling now?" Fu Bao asked.

Fugui's sister-in-law did not answer, but turned around, took Fubao's hands, and looked up and down. Da Ma went crazy just now, Fubao must not be hurt.

Fugui also calmed down, moved his hands and feet, and found that he was completely fine, so he grinned. It was good that his daughter and wife were safe and sound, but it was a pity that the carriage was missing.

"Fugui, your horse trampled my daughter to death, what do you want to do? My daughter, why are you so miserable..." A burst of crying came over, making Fubao feel his scalp numb.

Fugui took a closer look and saw that she was Xiang Lao Er's daughter-in-law. Originally, Xiang Lao Er was far away from their motorcade, but because Xiang Lao Er wanted to sell his four daughters to the Xiang family, he came to them.

They came out of Xiangzhang Village, walked around, and stayed in Fucheng for a few more days. It had been almost a month. Because of the wild rice, most of the villagers still brought a lot of food, but the water was basically

Almost finished drinking.

So whenever I go to a place, the first thing I do is look for water, but I usually come back disappointed. Fortunately, Mr. Xiang’s house still has some leftover, and they can distribute some to everyone.

Xianglaoer's water was almost finished. Looking at the four girls, Xianglaoer's eyes were filled with calculations. He already had a son, and these four losers could be sold.

Especially for the eldest daughter and the second daughter, one is thirteen years old and the other is eleven years old. If sold to a wealthy family as a maid, they can get at least eight taels of silver, and the two are sixteen taels.

But now there is famine everywhere, and everyone has to calculate even a drink of water. Who is willing to spend money to buy a maid? Only the shopkeeper of the cloth shop seems to have some money, but he does not dare to provoke her.

That only left the Xiang family. Even though the Xiang family was busy eating and drinking every day, looking at the faces and demeanor of each of them, it was obvious that they were nothing but fat.

He had already looked for Fugui and said that Fubao was already old. How could a sister of a master who held a civil ceremony not have several maids to serve him? And his two daughters happened to be a few years older than Fubao, so it was just right for him to serve him.

Wealth is indeed a bit tempting. Their family has no worries about food and drink, and they also have a lot of money. They spend dozens of dollars to buy two maids. On the one hand, they can accompany Fu Bao, and on the other hand, they can also help Xiang Laoer.

But Mr. Xiang was unwilling. Even if he wanted to buy a maid, he would still have to buy those orphans without fathers and mothers on the roadside. The villagers in his own village were all from the countryside, so it was not suitable.

After Fugui refused, although Xianglaoer was unhappy, he never came again. He thought the matter had been revealed, but by chance, Xianglaoer came over with his two little girls.

He thought that maybe Uncle Hanlin thought his two girls were too old, but one of the two little girls was three years older than Fubao, and the other was the same age as Fubao, so that should be fine.

He couldn't get close to Mr. Xiang's carriage because the sixth prince and the fourth princess were sitting in it, so he had to look for Fugui. When he saw Fugui and Fugui's sister-in-law looking relaxed while riding the carriage, he felt angry.

He picked up a girl and ran towards Fugui. Fortunately, he walked in front of Fugui's carriage and deliberately blocked it, hoping that Fugui would stop the carriage when he saw him.

The dead horse suddenly neighed, jumped on its front legs, and pounced directly on the two of them. Xiang Laoer was so frightened that he jumped away, but forgot about the girl next to him.

Fugui jumped out of the carriage, which had only one plank and two wheels left, and walked towards the back. Sure enough, a little girl was lying in a pool of blood, with a hole in her body trampled by the horse.

The girl who was trampled to death by the horse was Xianglaoer's little girl. She was young and didn't have enough food and water. She had no energy to escape. She watched helplessly as the big horse pounced on her and trampled her again.

The eldest daughter, Xiangcai, supported her second and third sisters and stood just two people away from the carriage. She saw with her own eyes that Da Ma suddenly went crazy, and then her father jumped away quickly, completely ignoring the little sister who was still standing in front of Da Ma.

She knew that her parents did not want to see them, especially after they had a younger brother, their sense of existence became even weaker. She was really happy to know that her father was going to sell their sisters to Fubao as maids.

Fu Bao is the only girl in the Xiang family. She is pampered by her grandparents and parents, and protected by her six brothers. She is living in a sugar bowl. They can live like this for one day, even if they can only live for one day.

willingly.

But the old man of the Xiang family was not willing. They would rather buy a wild girl on the roadside than the two sisters. Their parents were even more disgusted when they saw them, and they had not given them food or water for several days.

The third uncle and the third aunt couldn't stand it any longer, so they secretly gave the sisters a few two-faced pancakes and a bowl of water, and finally saved their lives, but the fourth sister still couldn't escape death.

"I don't know why my horse suddenly went crazy. The fourth girl did die because of our horse. Tell me, as long as it's not too much, I'm willing to compensate." Fugui felt extremely guilty. After all, it was a human life.

.

"Twenty taels of silver, ten kilograms of grain, no, twenty kilograms of grain, and two jars of water." The second daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and the lion opened her mouth.

As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered the boos. Now no one wanted a girl for even one tael of silver. Xianglao's second daughter-in-law actually offered her 20 taels of silver, as well as food and water. This was obvious extortion.

Shopkeeper Zhao's anger rose. He walked up to Xianglao's second daughter-in-law, pointed at the bodies of their fourth daughter and asked: "You were clearly over there, why did you come here? Could it be that you messed up the rich horse's horse when it was frightened?"

The ghost."

As soon as these words came out, many villagers looked at Xiang Laoer and his wife with suspicion. In their hearts, Xiang Fugui's character was much better than Xiang Laoer's.

Not only was he the biological father of Mr. Juren, he also helped everyone find water sources and wild rice. He also tried his best to help some extremely poor families on their way out of the famine, without caring about gains and losses.

Xiang Laosan also looked at his second brother with an unkind look. This second brother has always been petty and narrow-minded. It is possible that he holds a grudge because Uncle Han Lin refused to buy his daughter.
