Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 457: Choosing Slaves

Lu Chuan said, "I just don't know if this shopkeeper is sincere. If he is, it's fine. If not, forget it. Let's go to the private tooth. The ones we saw yesterday were pretty good."

Lu Chuan said this specifically for the two people outside. The two people walked slowly because they wanted to hear what Xu Han and Lu Chuan would say inside.

Of course Lu Chuan could see through this little trick, and as a martial artist himself, he was extremely sensitive to sounds. Since the people outside wanted to listen, of course he had to let them hear it.

Afraid that the two of them couldn't hear him, Lu Chuan deliberately raised his voice.

Xu Han looked at Lu Chuan's serious face and was so uncomfortable trying to hold back her laughter that she secretly gave Lu Chuan a thumbs up.

The two people outside the door heard it, and naturally did not dare to fool around, so they directly called all the servants in the official yamen over.

In a moment, the yard was filled with people, men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin.

After everyone had lined up, Wei Yaren went into the room and called out Xu Han and Lu Chuan.

The couple walked out leisurely and calmly.

As soon as he came out, Xu Han said as she had just agreed with Lu Chuan, "We are not a wealthy family, and we don't have such a good living environment. We are just an ordinary farmer, and we live in the mountains.

Even before this, there were no servants in the house, and I bought you back so that you could help me reclaim wasteland and farm the land.

Of course, although we are an ordinary farmer, we will not treat you harshly. Although we cannot guarantee that you can eat well or live well, we can at least guarantee that you can have enough food and clothes to wear, and you will not be hungry or cold.

So if you can't accept this, please take a step back, and if you agree, please take a step forward.

I won't force you, you can choose voluntarily. Otherwise, you will be dissatisfied with each other after you go back and make trouble for no reason. "

As soon as Xu Han finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, and the shopkeeper had never expected Xu Han to say this.

Right after Xu Han finished saying this, many people took a step back, while others remained hesitant, not knowing what to choose for a moment.

And a few of them took a quick step forward immediately after hearing this.

Among them, the first people Xu Han saw were two young men about 20 years old, wearing clothes full of patches. They walked out immediately after Xu Han finished speaking.

Looking at these two men, their faces are somewhat similar, and they are standing together, so I think they should be brothers.

Seeing this, Xu Han walked up to the two of them and asked, "Can you tell me why you two came forward?"

The man clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "My dear madam, my name is Liu Erzhu, and this is my younger brother Liu Sanzhu. Our families died on the road to escape the famine during the disaster years. Later, in order to survive, we sold ourselves and were bought back by the previous master.

We came here after our previous master had an accident. We don't have any special skills but just a lot of strength. We heard that the lady bought people to go back and farm, and we can have enough food if we go back with you, so what's the big deal? So we thought of giving it a try.

Madam, rest assured. Before the disaster, my brother and I had worked in the fields with our father. We are not unfamiliar with farming. Although we are not proficient in it, we still know what crops to plant in different seasons."

Xu Han nodded, neither saying yes nor no.

And the two men just now did not show any dissatisfaction after Xu Han turned and left. They still stood straight and looked at Xu Han.

Xu Han turned around and continued to ask the big family next to them. It must be said that this family is really big.

They were still wearing tattered clothes, especially the two younger children. Not only were their clothes half too short, but their shoes didn't even have much cloth left.

The two older ones were probably the parents of this group of people. There was also a couple with two children, a boy and a girl, who didn't look very old. The boy was about five years old, and the girl was only about four years old.

There was also a young couple who looked very honest and simple.

The other two were a boy and a girl, about 10 or years old. The girl was holding a little girl who was about years old.

Xu Han used the same words and said, "Why did you stand up again?"

The older man replied, "Madam, my family originally lived on the farm of the previous master. We were responsible for tending the crops. We are proficient in all kinds of farm work and have some experience in farming. I also have the skill of pruning fruit trees. The rest of my family are also good at farming. They are strong and willing to endure hardships."

When Xu Han heard that the old man had the skill of pruning fruit trees, her eyes lit up. Isn't this just meeting someone with the right professional background?

You know, I have a lot of fruit trees at home, and it would be great to have someone who can take care of them.

However, Xu Han did not say anything and continued to walk forward. This was a woman who was alone. As soon as Xu Han stood still, the woman took the initiative to speak, "Madam, I was sold by my parents when I was young. I have been working in the kitchen of the master's family all these years and I cook delicious dishes. I was married before, but my husband blocked a knife for the master when he was doing business with the master. He did not survive, and now I am alone. I think you look kind and I will definitely get along with you. Besides, I just want to live an honest life now and don't want to worry about the affairs of wealthy families, so I want to go with you."

Xu Han took a look at the woman and thought that it seemed like she was a person with a story.

After asking what she wanted to ask, Xu Han turned back to Lu Chuan and asked, "Do you think there is anything else you want to know?"

Lu Chuan pointed at the boy next to him. Xu Han looked up and saw that the boy also stood up. However, he looked a little difficult to get along with. There was a long scar on his face and his eyes were a little gloomy. He looked like a ruthless person and was particularly difficult to mess with.

Xu Han asked, "What's your name?"

The young man's voice was a little hoarse, and he slowly said, "Han Qi."

Xu Han was still waiting for him to introduce himself like everyone else! Unexpectedly, this man stopped talking after saying his name, and he really didn't want to say a word.

Xu Han moved closer to Lu Chuan and whispered, "Why do I feel like he's not easy to talk to? He looks pretty ruthless."

Lu Chuan smiled. Seeing the boy's expression, he knew that he had heard what Xu Han said, so he said, "He is a martial artist. Buy him back to look after the family."

Sure enough, when the young man heard Lu Chuan's words, he raised his eyelids and looked Lu Chuan up and down.

Lu Chuan did not shy away from looking at him directly.

The young man probably didn't expect that even though he hid himself so well, he was still seen through by the man in front of him. He couldn't help but start to look at him carefully.
