"Mom, why are you here?"
The person calling Li Longzhan was none other than Li Longzhan's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou. After lunch, Mrs. Zhou had nothing to do, so she took her maid for a walk around the capital. She happened to see Li Longzhan and walked over.
"It's nothing. I'm just hanging out here for my mother. But you, didn't you go to the Prince Consort's Mansion with your father?"
"Yes. Dad, the aunt, the consort and the others were still drinking and chatting. After my brother and I had eaten, Dad asked us to go back first."
"That's it. How was it at your consort's house? Tell your mother what happened."
"Okay. It happened in the Prince Consort's Mansion..."
As soon as Li Yu entered the carriage, he sat down on the carriage stool without saying a word, as if he was still protesting for himself. Looking out of the window of the carriage, I saw Xiaolan and her mother following the man in his twenties into an alley. Li Yu was already angry, but now that he saw them, he became even more angry. When he saw his eldest brother and second mother talking, he quietly got up and got out of the carriage while the groom was not paying attention, and walked towards the alley.
Li Yu walked into the alley and followed them quietly, turning a few corners. When Li Yu saw them stopping at a certain place, he hid around a corner, stretched out his little head and took a look inside. He saw the three of them walking outside a small door. The man knocked on the door, and one of them opened the door. After opening the door, the man outside said to Xiaolan and her daughter, "You two wait for me here. I'll go and notify you." Li Yu used Qing Kung Fu to jump along the wall to a lower roof, and lay on his back. The people in the room watched and listened to their conversations.
Xiaolan said timidly: "Mom, is this right here?"
The woman nodded, choked up, and said, "Well, my child, don't blame mom. Mom doesn't want to sell you to anyone else, but what about your brother's illness?" Then she hugged Xiaolan and started crying, saying Speechless. Xiaolan also started crying and said, "Mom, I know, it's okay."
After hearing this, Li Yu whispered: "I've seen people selling rice, salt, and mung bean cakes. Why are there people selling people? Forget it, I don't want to think about that anymore." Seeing a few small stones on the ground, he picked up a few. , looked at Xiaolan and the others and said, "You just knocked me over and dropped four pieces of mung bean cake, so I'll hit you four times! You should give me back the power!" Then he picked up a small stone and threw it at the two people. But although Li Yu had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he had never practiced with concealed weapons. Naturally, he didn't know what force to use, so he just threw it lightly, and the pebble fell to the ground lightly without even making a sound. If you throw this piece away, not even a single ant on the ground will be hit, let alone anyone. Fan Yu looked at it, a little frustrated, and said, "Hey, try throwing another piece!" He picked up another piece, and threw it hard this time, and saw that the pebble hit the wall next to Xiaolan hard. The mother and daughter heard the sound, became alert, and looked around. Fan Yu hurriedly pulled his head back, feeling a little scared, thinking: "I won't be seen!"
Xiaolan asked, "Mom, what's the sound?" The woman said, "It sounds like something falling." But they didn't see anyone in the room. At this time, the young man who brought them here walked out of the door, followed by a voluptuous woman in bright clothes and heavy makeup. She asked the young man: "Are they the two of them?"
The young man said: "Yes, she is the one who sold her daughter." He pointed at their mother and daughter. The charming woman glanced sideways at the woman, showing no interest, and then began to look at the little girl. She looked at Xiaolan carefully, her eyes suddenly lit up, but she still pretended not to like her. Xiaolan felt that this woman looked at her very badly, so she weakly stood behind her mother.
The charming woman said: "Although I am a little thin, I still have good features. How many taels did you say?" Xiaolan's mother stretched out her two fingers and said: "Two hundred taels." The woman said: "Two hundred taels" ! Is she worth the price!?"
Xiaolan quickly said: "I am very diligent in my work. I can do laundry, cooking, and everything else."
The woman smiled and said to Xiaolan: "We don't ask you to do this."
Xiaolan's mother said: "My little son is sick and I need this money to save his life! Please ask my wife to help me."
The woman said: "What does your son's life and death have to do with me? One hundred and fifty taels, if you want, just do it. If you don't, just find someone else."
Xiao Lan's mother begged and said, "Madam, please do it!" Then she knelt down and started to pull the woman's clothes.
The charming woman said that she saw her dirty hands pulling her clothes, so she hurriedly patted the woman's hands off, and said angrily: "Don't touch my clothes with your dirty hands! I will give you as much as you say." , no more."
Li Yu was watching and listening from above. For some reason, he got angry in his heart and said, "Bah! This woman is so disgusting. I have to beat her up if she gets in front of me."
Xiaolan's mother saw that the woman had no intention of being soft-hearted. Thinking that her son was still waiting for money to save his life, she could only compromise: "Then one hundred and eighty taels."
The woman said, "That's right! Hurry up and get the money for your son's medical treatment." With a wave of her hand, a servant came and took a bag of silver, leaving Xiaolan's mother behind. The woman said again: "This is one hundred and fifty taels, which is not a penny. From now on, your daughter will no longer need to be taken care of by you." As she said this, she pulled Xiaolan and prepared to go in.
Xiaolan's mother got the money, opened the bag, and roughly counted the numbers. A smile appeared on her sad face. When she heard that she didn't need to take care of her daughter in the future, she asked, "Are you going to another place, madam?" Where? I can go too, and I will redeem my daughter when I have money in the future."
The woman smiled contemptuously and said: "Haha, go to another place. My Zuichunlou already has such a big name, how can I go to another place!"
Xiao Lan's mother looked shocked and said, "Zui Chun House?" Of course Xiao Lan's mother knew that it was a famous local "brothel". Then they asked the man next to them who brought them here: "Didn't you say that they would be sold to other people's houses and used as maids? If you have money in the future, you can redeem them."
But the man said with a look of disdain: "Do you think it's easy to enter the mansions of dignitaries? Some people can't get in even after spending money? How can you, a poor person like you, still think about good things?"
The woman knew that her daughter's life would be ruined if she entered such a place. She regretted it and said, "I won't sell it! How could I sell my daughter to this place?" She gave the money in her hand to the person just now. The person who gave him the money didn't catch it securely, and the money fell to the ground. The woman grabbed her daughter's hand, pulled it away from the woman, and wanted to leave.
This charming woman was very angry when she saw Xiaolan being pulled away from her hand. She saw that although Xiaolan was young, she was very beautiful and she would definitely be a great beauty in the future, so she bought it for one hundred and fifty taels. A money-spinner, he was very happy, so he wanted to speak clearly directly to let this woman sever the relationship with this girl, but unexpectedly, the woman regretted it. They shouted loudly: "Since the money has been paid, this person is mine. Do you still want to take him away?" Then he said to the man who led them: "You don't care about the person you brought? Yours?" You don’t want the money anymore, do you?”
The man's eyes immediately became fierce. He walked over and grabbed Xiaolan's mother by the collar, and threw her to the ground with great force. He shouted loudly: "You can sell it if you want to, but you can't sell it if you don't? Don't you even look at where this place is? Tell you, why don't you take the money and get out of here today? Or...!" A beheading gesture.
Li Yu saw everything that happened from above. When he saw the man knocking Xiaolan's mother to the ground, he had another urge to go up and stop him, but his legs seemed to be clamped, and he couldn't Dare to go there. He said to himself: "I don't care about my own business, I'd better go." I wanted to get up and leave, but for some reason I couldn't bear it, so I lay back on the roof and watched.
Xiaolan saw her mother fell to the ground and quickly lay on her body to see if her mother was injured. A man came over fiercely, grabbed Xiaolan's clothes and pulled her back. Xiaolan hugged her mother tightly, but the man couldn't pull her back and said, "Tell you, if you don't come today, I will kill your mother first! Let's see where you can run?!" He let go Kai grabbed Xiaolan's hand and walked towards Xiaolan's mother. Xiaolan's mother quickly stood up, pushed the man hard with her body, and knocked the man directly into the wall. She pulled Xiaolan and ran out of the alley. The man didn't expect that the woman would suddenly have such great strength. He stood firm and chased after the mother and daughter.
Xiaolan's mother pulled Xiaolan and ran, shouting: "Here comes someone! Help!" When she was about to reach the fork in the road ahead, she suddenly saw a stick hitting Xiaolan's mother directly on the head from the front. , Xiaolan's mother was knocked to the ground by a sudden stick, blood flowed from her forehead, and half of her face was dyed red. At this time, four strong men holding wooden sticks came from the fork in the road and surrounded Xiaolan and her daughter. Xiaolan cried and lay next to her mother, shaking her mother's body and shouting: "Is there anyone! Someone is here! Mom!"
The man came over and saw Xiaolan's mother lying on the ground panting. He kicked Xiaolan's mother hard on the leg and said, "Run! You run!" when he was about to kick her again. , Xiaolan quickly hugged the man's leg and cried, "I'll go with you, please let my mother go!"
Li Yu kept watching nervously, not daring to breathe. Originally, when I saw Xiaolan and her daughter running away, I breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw four more big men coming around, his heart seemed to be lifted up and his legs were trembling a little. He comforted himself and said, "Wait a minute, let's find a chance to see if we can help them?"
At this time, the charming woman came over and said, "If you had done this earlier, wouldn't it have saved you a lot of physical pain? I wasted so much time. I originally promised to give you one hundred and fifty taels. Now I still have to Take out fifty taels. These brothers who have been invited to drink, there are only one hundred taels left for you. Please take it." With that, he threw the few silver coins next to Xiaolan's mother.
Xiaolan picked up the money on the ground, put it in her mother's arms, and said: "Mom, please keep the money, my brother needs to see a doctor!" Then he took out a wrapped piece of cloth from his arms and said: " These pastries were dropped by the young master just now. They don't look too dirty to me. You can take them back to your brother." He also put the piece of cloth in his mother's arms, then swallowed and said, "Xiaolan can't take care of you. Now, you have to take good care of yourself and your brother." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the woman.
Fan Yu looked at the girl and felt ashamed. He had no worries about food and clothing all day long, and was taken care of everywhere. But this girl even had to take back the cakes she dropped for her brother to eat. Li Yu was very confused: "Should I save them? Can I save them? It would be great if my father was here, it would be great if my mother was here, it would be great if Master Zhao was here!"
Xiaolan's mother didn't know where she got the strength to stand up, hugged Xiaolan in her arms, and said, "As long as mother is here, I won't let those bad people harm you!" Then she said to them, "You all will have a good death. , Even if I die, I will not give my daughter to you!" The man kicked Xiaolan's mother on the back and said, "You stinky woman, you will be fined if you don't eat the toast. You want to die, today we I will do it for you!" Then he motioned to those people, pulled Xiaolan and her mother away, punched and kicked Xiaolan's mother, and pointed sticks at each other. Xiaolan was crying and stopped her, but she was so weak, how could she stop her? How many men live here?
