In the autumn of the eleventh year of Jiande, the world of the Eastern Qi was in chaos.

When Cheng Ling woke up, he heard a burst of crying.

"No! You go! Auntie, don't sell my eldest sister, we won't exchange food, we won't exchange it!"

Another girl's voice said firmly: "Change! Give me five buckets of rice, and I'll go with you."

Cheng Ling opened her eyes, only to feel pain everywhere in her body, and she didn't know what kind of injury she suffered, but she couldn't care about it.

First look around, there are a lot of people around in a mess.

A short and stocky woman was swearing with her arms on her hips, "Five buckets of rice? When you are the golden bird, you want to go to the sky? Even a girl like you who wants nothing, dare to ask for it. Five buckets of rice? Do not urinate and take care of yourself, giving a bucket is considered a kind and compassionate heart of our Lord Jin!"

Cursing here, Cheng Ling's gaze passed these people and landed on a man with a mustache standing a few meters away.

The moustache held his arms in his hands, his eyes were thin, and there was a glint in the slits of his eyes.

Somehow, Cheng Ling immediately knew that this person was Lord Jin.

Standing in front, the girl who was crying while wiping her tears was the second sister Cheng Erni, and the eldest sister Cheng Dani was the one who said she would sell herself with five buckets of rice. The woman who was scolding was the aunt Liu, who was in the next room.

As for some of the people watching the lively around, there are both raw and familiar faces. Cheng Ling glanced at it and didn't have time to identify them one by one. He only had one feeling, which was "ruin".

Yes, none of these people are neatly dressed, they are all tattered and dirty.

Except for that Master Jin and the few people standing beside him who looked like thugs.

Also, these people are all wearing... ancient costumes?

Cheng Ling, who came back with energy, covered his head, and had a kind of insight: she has passed through!

Liu Shi, who had scolded him for a while, was smiling and said to Master Jin, "Master Jin, this is the girl. You can make it with a bucket of rice, and you can take it away with a bucket of rice."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Dani.

Cheng Dani flicked her hand to dodge, and only ran a few steps, when Jin Ye, who had been clasping his arms and said nothing, suddenly raised his hand and waved.

The thugs around him rushed up, and some people laughed: "Little girl, you don't have to hide, go back with us, Master Jin. After entering the city, you will have enough to eat. What are you doing outside? Waiting to starve to death?"

He also said: "Five dou? That's yesterday's price, today's is one dou! It's your family who came to the city gate and said that you want to sell people, not us robbing people's girls. We Jin Ye are good people and don't do that. Son!"

The thugs say it all over the place, but the price is one fight. Where is Cheng Dani willing to obey?

Only struggling: "I won't sell a bucket of rice!"

Cheng Erni wanted to protect her sister, and while she was pulling, a thug pushed her away, while the next one raised a stick and smashed her head.

Seeing that blood was about to be splattered on the spot, suddenly a person rushed over from the slash.

The man pulled Cheng Erni away and stretched out two fingers at the same time, poking straight at the thug's eyes like a poisonous dragon.

What if this was stabbed?

The thug was so terrified that his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned around and closed his eyes. But he was clearly swinging the stick vigorously, and when he twisted his body, the force was not used properly, and the stick was madly thrown backwards by him.

boom!

He immediately hit a thug next to him, causing a scream of "ah yo". Nosebleeds flew wildly, and the man fell to the ground on the spot.

All the thugs who were being pulled seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and Qi Qi turned their eyes around.

Cheng Erni was very pleasantly surprised. She looked at Cheng Ling, who had just pulled herself away, and she burst into tears: "Brother Ling, you are awake!"

Cheng Ling was actually a little dizzy and had pain all over her body, but she knew that she had to stand up because of the current situation. One bucket of rice is going to buy a big girl, what kind of world is this?

Cheng Ling raised his other hand, and the broken piece of porcelain on his hand was so sharp that it shone.

She walked over to Cheng Dani, pulled her behind her, and put on a protective gesture.

Perhaps her eyes were too sharp and terrifying, or her talent just now made people feel fearful, or perhaps the broken porcelain in her hand was somewhat intimidating.

Of course, it is also possible that the thugs were originally a mob, and they were afraid of being stunned.

In short, when she pulled, no one stopped her.

It was just that a few thugs looked at Cheng Ling with insidious eyes, while the Master Jin walked over with his hands squinting.

"Little brother, are you trying to break the rules?"

Cheng Ling was dressed in men's clothes. Although she had not yet grown up in size, just standing there, she naturally had a small pine tree-like uprightness on her body, which made people look up.

This is no exaggeration. You must know that the people scattered outside this city are basically refugees who have no tomorrows today. After being scolded by fleeing the famine, the spirit and energy of these people are basically dissipated.

Even if there are those who are not yet numb, that kind of cowardice and embarrassment from the lower-level commoners naturally exists and cannot be concealed.

After all, temperament really needs environment and knowledge to develop, otherwise, why is there a saying called "residence, qi, and body"?

Cheng Ling's spirit of "folding a willow on the edge of the court can be a sword" is not an exaggeration to say that he stands out among the refugees.

So that this Jin Ye couldn't help but doubt her origin at this moment: Could this kid actually be from everyone, right? If so...

This is the problem of being too shrewd. If he were a little more reckless, what would happen to Cheng Ling's temperament?

No matter how smart you are, you are still a dirty poor boy, who cares about you?

But Master Jin has always been cautious and thoughtful. The more he tried to measure the spirit, the more suspicious he became. Invisibly, his bottom line was retreating.

Cheng Ling said: "According to the rules, I am here, and there is no reason for the aunt next door to buy my sister. As for my sister herself, it is the same principle. Since my brother is here, what does she say?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, her tone was slow and slow, imitating the tone of ancient vernacular novels, and she didn't seem like a vulgar commoner.

As for belittling Cheng Dani in words, there is no need to be serious.

Jin Ye raised his brows slightly, and said: "Little brother, think deeply. You must know that in today's world, you are protecting people, thinking that you are good to her, but you never thought that the world outside is a wild sand. In the sun, no matter how good people are, they will wither, why bother?"

He described the outside world as wild sand, and Cheng Ling said slowly, "I would rather die with a stick of incense than the north wind."

Jin Ye was stunned and said with awe: "Little brother has read books?"

The next-door aunt Liu Shi, who was watching the two of them slowly talking, couldn't bear it anymore. She held it back for a long time, and finally screamed at this moment: "What life and death! Kill a thousand knives! Brother Ling , you can't do this! If you don't sell Dani, how can you return my food?"

As she spoke, she cried, "You can't, you're killing my family..."

While crying, she took a step forward, and her short and stout figure stepped on the ground with a sound, and it seemed that she was about to pounce on Cheng Ling.

Jin Ye's eyes flashed, but Cheng Ling suddenly raised his hand.

A cold light flashed at this moment, and Liu Shi, who rushed over, only felt a gust of wind hit her face, and she felt a pain in her neck.

The biting coldness flowed down from the neck, Liu Shi shook his legs, unable to walk.

She just raised her hand subconsciously and wiped it on the edge of her neck, only to see a bright red stain on her finger.

Liu: "Ah! Killing!"

Rolling his eyes, he fell down.

At this time, the broken piece of porcelain that flew past Liu's neck had just shot a few meters away, at the feet of Master Jin.

With a "snatch" sound, the porcelain piece fell to the ground.

The rest of the top has a few sharp corners, still shaking slightly.
