Selling Children

Chu Qingzhi got off the horse and walked towards the little girl. "Young lady, don't cry. Let me check your grandfather. Perhaps I can still save him."

When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Chu Qingzhi. "Sister, please save my grandfather. I can repay you by being your servant girl."

Chu Qingzhi was moved by the little girl's words. "I'll do my best."

She reached out to take the old man's pulse.

He was not in a serious condition. It was just a dehydration reaction.

Tang Jinghong walked over. "Qingzhi, what happened to him?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "He needs water."

Fang Zerong walked over with a water bag. He opened the lid and slowly fed it to the old man.

Tang Jinghong looked up. There was a village nearby. At this time, smoke should be rising from the chimney, but the village was very quiet, as if it was uninhabited.

He instructed, "Tan Yibin, bring a few people to the village to scout."
