    When Cao Ren came to visit, Cao Ang was drinking the broth sent by Mrs. Ding as usual.  Now that Cao Ang is only ten years old, it is the time when his body is growing. Mrs. Ding will carefully cook broth for him every day, but she eats simple meals without any complaints.

    In fact, the family still has a lot of money, and Cao Song is also a rich man. He is never stingy with his two sons, Cao Cao and Cao De.  It's just that Cao De spent all his money on books and household expenses, while Mrs. Ding spent most of her money on Cao Cao.  For example, recently, Mrs. Ding sent someone to quietly send 5,000 guan of money to Cao Cao as support.

    After finally waiting for Cao Ang to finish drinking the broth, Cao Ren asked for a loan and looked at Cao Ang flatteringly.  Except that there is no tail wagging back and forth, it is exactly like a pug begging for food.

    Cao Ang frowned and glared at Xiao Yi, who also felt aggrieved.  I just spent two hundred dollars to repaint the old furniture that had lost paint and faded. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren discovered the clues and hurriedly came to borrow money.

    Seeing that the master and servant were silent, Cao Ren said with a flattering smile: "Aang, I have been teaching you martial arts during this period. I can be regarded as half of your master. There is hard work without credit, and fatigue without hard work! Now the master has  It¡¯s difficult, you can¡¯t just sit back and do nothing! Don¡¯t tell me you have no money. If you had no money, how could you be willing to paint those cases?! My uncle didn¡¯t borrow much, just ten coins!¡±

    Cao Ang smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you don't know. My monthly payment is only half a pound. Where can I get these ten dollars? What urgent need do you have? How about I borrow it from Mrs. Ding?"

    Cao Ren shook his head repeatedly, "Why bother Mrs. Ding? My uncle really has something to hide"

    As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yi. Cao Ang understood and quickly asked Xiao Yi to go out and look out.  Cao Ren then whispered: "Maybe you also know that my old man has very strict control over me, and I have saved quite a lot of money up to now. No, I heard that a business group came to the county town, specializing in selling slaves.  The quality is very good. My uncle plans to buy a cheap girl from there who can make the bed and wash it, so that the house will not be in a mess!"

    Cao Ang laughed, "I'm afraid what my uncle wants is a girl who can warm his bed!"

    Cao Ren felt a little embarrassed. He slapped a few cases with his palm and said angrily: "Is your uncle like that? Hey, what are your looks?! In a word, do you want to borrow it or not?!"

    Cao Ang looked at the newly painted cabinets with distress, sighed, took out a wooden box from under the cabinets, and placed it tremblingly on top of the cabinets.

    Cao Ren laughed loudly: "This is my good apprentice, who is loyal! But as an uncle, I have to say a few words, how can a man be so stingy? It's just ten guan of money, and he is trembling with heartache, alas!  "

    After saying that, Cao Ren grabbed the box with one hand, and then his expression changed. When he opened the box and took a look, he even laughed dumbly.  He couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "How come it's all about making money? Aang, do you always like to count money recently?"

    Seeing Cao Ren holding the box with one hand and leaving, Cao Ang and Xiao Yi were very envious. He held dozens of kilograms of weight with one hand without changing his expression. What a lot of strength this is!

    Cao Ang suddenly patted Xiao Yi gently and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao Yi, do you know where the group of people uncle mentioned is? Mrs. Ding weaves cloth for my father and me every day, and she also needs someone to rub her back and waist."  Maid, let¡¯s go over and take a look later.¡±

    Xiao Yi nodded and agreed.  Even though Xiao Yi looks stupid, because of this, people in the mansion don't avoid talking about him at all. In addition, Qiao County is a small place, so Xiao Yi is fairly well-informed.

    The master and servant put on their casual clothes, took their money, and went to tell Mrs. Ding that they wanted to go to the city to relax.

    Mrs. Ding was willing, but she just gave Cao Ang a few words to pay attention to his safety, and gave him a lot of money.  Mrs. Ding also ordered the housekeeper to select a steady horseman, hitch a carriage, and drive Cao Ang to the county seat.

    The horseman¡¯s surname is Zhao. He is in his forties. He is a veteran who has followed Cao Cao for many years. He stayed in Cao¡¯s family to be raised because of his military exploits and injuries.  He was relatively talkative, and he talked about his various experiences during the journey when he had nothing to do. Cao Ang and Xiao Yi listened with great interest.

    Because it had just rained heavily, the journey that was supposed to take half an hour ended up taking an hour and a half before we arrived at the county town.  I heard that it was the carriage of the Cao family, but the gatekeeper did not ask them for the city tax.  After the three of them successfully entered the city, Lao Zhao drove the carriage to the Cao family courtyard, mixed some fodder, and escorted Cao Ang and Xiao Yi out for a stroll.

    This is the first time Cao Ang has entered the city since time travel. Being accustomed to the tall buildings of later generations, he is still quite interested in the scenery in front of him.  But after he walked two or three streets, the soles of his shoes were covered with mud and he no longer had the interest to go shopping.??

    At this time, Xiao Yi gently poked Cao Ang and said in a low voice: "Young Master, look, that's not Cao Anmin's guy!"

    Hearing this, Cao Ang looked up and saw Cao Anmin standing outside the door of a drug store in front, chatting with a woman.

    Cao Ang was very curious, and hurriedly moved forward, and heard Cao Anmin cup his hands and say: "Cao will never forget this life-saving grace. I also hope that the girl will leave her address, and I will thank you with a heavy gift later."

    ¡¾Note: In fact, the word "miss" had a derogatory connotation in the Song and Yuan Dynasties; the word "girl" was not used as a title for unmarried girls until the Qing Dynasty.  "Niangzi" refers specifically to unmarried girls before the Song Dynasty, and it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it became a title for married women.  However, for the convenience of readers, many titles in the Eastern Han Dynasty will be appropriately modified in this book based on modern language habits.  ¡¿

    "I saw a young woman standing opposite Cao Anmin, wearing a bamboo hat. A circle of black gauze hung around the bamboo hat, covering most of her face, revealing only a pretty cherry mouth.

    The woman smiled slightly: "Mr. Sir, you don't have to be polite. A lucky person has his own destiny. I just carried him to the hospital with my little sister. You'd better thank the doctor of this 'Yuanhua Thatched Cottage'!"  Come back, since Lang Jun is from a wealthy family in Qiao County, I hope Lang Jun will make up for the cost of the diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible and don't default on it, after all, it's not easy for people to do business."

    Cao Anmin nodded repeatedly, wanting to continue chatting and asking about the other person's name and family background.  On the one hand, it was to repay the other person's life-saving grace. On the other hand, Cao Anmin also coveted her beauty and wanted to have an affair.  Didn¡¯t those who talk about storytelling all say that once a talented man and a beautiful woman meet, they will avoid countless blind dates!

    There was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old next to the woman, but she was very cold to Cao Anmin. She had already pouted her little mouth and said impatiently: "Sister, don't be wordy with him. I have been busy since yesterday."  Up to now, you have taken care of him for such a long time, so you have done your best. Go back to the inn quickly, I am exhausted. You are too soft-hearted. You have to take care of the little rabbit and puppy when they are injured, let alone this  I picked up a big living person for the first time!"

    Hearing what she said, both Cao Anmin and the woman felt a little embarrassed. They each bowed and said goodbye to each other.  Cao Anmin watched the woman take a few steps away, gritted his teeth, and followed quietly.

    The fire of gossip was burning in Cao Ang's heart. He whispered to Xiao Yi and Lao Zhao: "It seems that something interesting happened to brother Anmin after we haven't seen him for a day. Let's follow him and take a look."

    Xiao Yi always obeyed Cao Ang's advice and nodded immediately; Lao Zhao only wanted to ensure Cao Ang's safety and had no objection to the young master's decision, so the three of them quietly followed Cao Anmin and followed the two women forward.

    At this time, the little girl turned back inadvertently and discovered Cao Anmin behind her and Cao Ang, who was sneaking not far away.  She immediately frowned and lowered her voice and said to the older woman: "Sister, something is wrong. Why does the man you rescued keep following us? And there are three people behind him, which is very strange. Those two and a half-year-olds  It¡¯s nothing more than a boy, that middle-aged man (Old Zhao) is definitely a member of the imperial court, and every move he makes carries the air of a court hawk! We have to be careful!¡±

    The older woman Ling Yue knew that her junior sister Lingshan was eccentric and very discerning. The disciples were able to escape the pursuit of Cao Cao's men in Jinan last time, and the younger junior sister was indispensable.  Since the junior sister noticed something unusual behind her, of course she had to pay attention to it.  What's more, although she, Lingyue, is caring, as the senior sister of the Moon Worship Sect, she is not pedantic and incompetent.

    Lingyue pulled her junior sister forward quietly while making a gesture quietly. The two guardian disciples who were responsible for guarding her two sisters at the street intersection nodded lightly and walked behind them.  The two of them ran into Cao Anmin, one on the left and the other on the right.

    Cao Anmin was completely focused on Lingyue and had no defense at all.  And although he had practiced martial arts for a few days, he had not put in any hard work at all. In addition, he had just recovered from a serious illness and had no strength, so he was knocked to the ground by the two men.

    Cao Anmin never thought that the other party bumped into him intentionally. He thought it was a coincidence. While complaining, he wanted to get up and move on.  But he didn't expect that the two people had already planned their positions when they bumped into him, and they knocked him out of breath.  Cao Anmin immediately coughed non-stop after this activity, and he didn't have any energy to get up again.

    One of them even kicked Cao Anmin in the back of the heart while the people around him were not paying attention. Cao Anmin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was hit so hard that he rolled his eyes and fell into coma on the spot.  But the two people still cursed and said: "A good dog doesn't block the road. You seem to be a scholar, so why are you deliberately blocking the road?"

    As they spoke, the two of them walked towards Cao Ang.  At this time, Lao Zhao took a step forward, guarded Cao Ang and Xiao Yi behind him, and whispered: "Friends, please step on it."Click, bite when you come over!  "

    This is a slang saying: "Friend, please leave this place alone, otherwise I will stab you with a dagger if you come over!"

    The two people understood this and saw that Lao Zhao had a bulging bag on his waist, so they did not dare to step forward, but stayed there and blocked the way.  One of them said in a low voice: "You want to occupy this line and step on the plate? Hold the line side by side to protect the two beans, don't get into trouble." (Are you the one responsible for inquiring on the road here? Our two bodyguards are protecting these two women, don't follow them.  We are enemies!)

    Seeing that these two men were strong men, Lao Zhao was worried about Cao Ang's safety, so he stopped stepping forward.  It was the first time for Cao Ang to hear the incisions in these martial arts books. It was very new and he had to ask Lao Zhao to explain.

    Everyone was in a stalemate here. After about half a stick of incense, the two people blocking the way nodded to Lao Zhao, turned around and left.  At this time, the two women had already gone far away and there was no trace of them.  The only person on the street was Cao Anmin, who collapsed on the ground, unconscious in the mud
