"Redemption?"
"Yes, my niece. She is a silver medal singer in Shuanghua Tower."
"." Bailang fell into silence. He seemed to understand why Huang Yi would take such a big risk to join Qianfang. To redeem a silver-medal singer, the threshold is not affordable for ordinary people, and even ordinary businessmen may not be able to afford it. Moreover, the silver medal singer is like a cash cow in the flower house. It is almost impossible to redeem someone, especially the singer in her prime.
"What? You can't do it?"
"Did you know that a silver-medal singer can redeem herself in Hualou if she has money? Do you think I have such a big reputation just for being a wealthy person?"
"Then it depends on whether you are willing to try your best. The background of Hualou is not simple, and the knife studio is not a vegetarian. It is not impossible for a silver-medal singer to redeem herself if she is given more money and puts more effort into the knife studio. .”
"Aren't you afraid that I will turn my back and forget about you after I say yes?"
"There is no other way. I can only take a gamble. I believe you are not a bad person, and you will not break your promise." Huang Yi seemed to let go after saying this, and his words became quite brisk. The look in Bai Lang's eyes seemed even more calm.
Maybe the person who puts down all the pretense and takes the last gamble should look like this free and easy? Bai Lang couldn't help but think, had the other party really given up the idea of living?
"You seem to know a lot about evil people? Didn't you say that you joined the mine when you were twelve years old? There are many evil people over there?" Bai Lang was most interested in what Huang Yi said about the situation in the mine. The Lingshi Mine is more attractive to Qi Refiners than mountains of gold and silver.
Huang Yi didn't mind Bai Lang's cliches and said, "You're right. Compared to what your knife studio did to me, the methods used in the mine were a hundred times more vicious. I didn't care about death at all in the mine. The reason why I didn't Dare to die is not the fear of death itself, but the lack of peace after death. Even if you die, the Qi Refiner's methods can make you endure a punishment that is countless times more painful than death.
It is better to die than live. This sentence has another meaning in the mines.
Therefore, those evil people in the mine are really evil people. They have no bottom line. In their eyes, we are not even human beings, we are just tools that are worse than animals. The temperament of evil people and the smell of evil thoughts are all too clear to me in the mine. You are not a bad person, but I am willing to take a gamble on you. "
"Is it worth it for you to save your niece?" Bai Lang was a little confused. After all, according to Huang Yi's previous self-report, he should have no interaction with his niece.
"After I escaped, I looked for my hometown. The two girls at home were not properly placed at first. The older one was doing laundry in the inn, and the younger one was washing dishes in the restaurant. Life was very hard. Later, I lost one sister due to illness. The remaining The younger sister lived alone in the world. After that, she got married and had children. But the younger sister's family was also uneasy, and she finally died of hanging herself. Her brother-in-law was missing. There was only one niece left, but she was sold into the mouth by relatives and lived in the fireworks. I found two I found her in Yongchuan City only after 20 years.
She is my only blood relative in this world. The land of flower houses seems prosperous and beautiful, but the pain inside is unknown to outsiders. It becomes even more miserable as time passes. I wanted to save her from the sea of suffering, so I used this broken body to give her a try. I hope Cheng Jian can help redeem people. It's a pity that in the end, people's wishes failed and fell into your hands.
how? Do me this favor and I will tell you all about your problem. Otherwise, I won’t say a word to you again. "
Huang Yi could see Bailang's interest in the matter of the mine. In this way, he has a feeling of darkness. Compared with the previous Cheng Jian, the young man in front of him, who was also from Qianfang Town, obviously had more potential and was more suitable to rescue his niece. Of course, this is also his last chance.
Bailang was testing Huang Yi, and Huang Yi was also testing Bailang, even throwing out the bait first.
"I can give it a try, but I still don't have enough money."
"I have a lot of money, and I buried it in a secret place outside the city. I think it should be enough to redeem my life. The most important thing is that Hualou Fangren agrees to redeem my life. You need to work harder in this regard."
"Well, even if money is not an issue, I can't reach this matter myself. I need to find a way to talk about it, which takes time. You should understand this, right?"
"You just need to agree. I can't wait that long. I can only believe you." Huang Yi suddenly smiled happily, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Lang, as if he wanted to engrave Bai Lang in his mind. In his soul.
Bailang heard a different meaning from Huang Yi's words. Even if you are not afraid of death, you should not be so indifferent. It seems that you have known that you will die for a long time, and you even have the feeling of controlling the date of death. This is not normal.
"You know you don't have much longer to live?"
This is the only explanation Bailang can think of for Huang Yi's behavior. A person who has long known that he will die and will not live long will naturally be prepared for death. The panic and fear that he should have cannot last forever, and time will slowly paralyze him. Even according to Huang Yi's previous description of what happened in the mine, it might have been a great blessing for him to die outside.
Huang Yi didn't shy away. He nodded and admitted Bai Lang's guess, saying: "Of course, how could there be a loophole in that place for tools to come out and wander around? They have medicine, or elixirs, one yellow and one white. Take the yellow one once, and the white one will come out. Eat it once every six months to save your life. I stole a few white ones before I came out and have already eaten them. I can live for more than half a month at most. By then I will be in a state of despair. So, as long as you agree, you will do your best in the future. Just help me save people. This is what I bet on."
Bailang suddenly felt that this man was very pitiful. It is the kind of life that is shrouded in misfortune, struggling hard but unable to escape. In the end, even natural death is a luxury. All you want is not to suffer after death, even if your soul is gone, it is like relief. This seemed more desperate than the tragic events he had seen since coming to this world.
"Okay, I promise you that I will do my best to help you save people. But you need to tell me everything you know about the mine without reservation."
"This is natural!" Huang Yi even laughed out loud, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
Huang Yi's story lasted for an hour, and Bailang fed him water several times during the process.
"Now you know everything, right? Haha, you and I are both lambs. It's just that you are luckier than most lambs and don't know that you are being raised. But I am unlucky."
"Then how did the Qi Refiners outside come here?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe the news leaked out, or maybe I could be trained for another purpose. But these have nothing to do with me. Remember, after you get the money, go rescue people as quickly as possible. The days in the flower house, It’s not easy!”
"Are you sure you don't want her to know you exist and what you've done for her?"
"Well. There is no need to let her live in the haze. After you rescue her, you can find a way for her to live. It depends on her own destiny. I can only do this. Alas."
In fact, the other party's request was very troublesome for Bailang. Not only is it troublesome to redeem someone, but you also need to find a reasonable excuse, otherwise how can you ask for help? And it must be properly arranged afterwards. Otherwise, a girl who was sent to a flower house as a child would have no means of making a living after she came out, and her end would still be embarrassing.
But Bailang still nodded towards Huang Yi and agreed, without ever thinking of going back on his word.
When leaving, Huang Yi stopped Bai Lang and said with a smile: "Thank you."
