Chi Xia looked at Liu'er's beautiful face, who was very close at hand. He put his arms around her slender waist and pushed her to her side to sit. Her fingers hooked Liu'er's chin. Her brows were frivolous and romantic, making her call herself a veteran in love. Liu'er blushed completely.
The few women who couldn't get close to the guest looked at Liu'er with jealous expressions. If they hadn't been a step slower, it would never have been her turn to laugh and play with such a handsome guest.
"I heard that you just received a batch of goods a few days ago, and a rich lady was sold in it?"
Hearing this, Liu'er's eyes showed resentment, and she rested her chin on Chi Xia's shoulder. Her slender fingers seemed to have accidentally crossed her face, and she breathed into her neck and said softly: "Young master came to Qingfeng Tower just to find that person." From a yellow-haired girl? It really hurts my heart~"
Chi Xia raised her hand and touched Liu Er's charming face, put on a nonchalant posture, and said with a half-smile, "I can't see the sad look on this beauty's face!"
"Young Master." Liu Er glanced at him with an irritated look, then gently picked up the cup and handed it to her lips with a smile, "Young Master, have a drink."
Chi Xia looked casual and drank with Liu Er's hand slightly raising her chin, leaving some strong alcohol in the corner of her mouth.
She still had the frivolity of a libertine on her face, and it was impossible to tell that she was vomiting bitterness in her heart, which made Qiao Yi on the side stunned.
He really didn't expect that his sister was quite good at acting.
If he hadn't been able to hear her thoughts, he might have thought she was a frequent visitor to the brothel.
Chi Xia: [Frog Qu, why is this wine so spicy! I can’t stand it anymore. Is this horse urine something people can drink? ! 】
"Beauty... take me over to see the rich lady? I haven't seen the ladies who were sold into brothels." Chi Xia grabbed Liu Erlingding's wrist and rubbed it ambiguously, her fair face Because of the wine, there was a lingering tinge at the end of the eyes, which made people look thirsty.
Liu'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling the inexplicable provocative touch on her wrist. She pursed her lips and felt a little shy. After listening to her words, she said hesitantly: "That little girl has a bit of a stubborn personality. I'm afraid she might quarrel with the young master."
"No problem." Chi Xia waved her hand and slipped a gold ingot to her.
Liu'er felt the weight in her hands, the smile on her face became softer and more charming, and her voice was delicate and gentle, "Master, please come this way."
*
In the dark woodshed, a dying girl lay on the dirty thatch. She stared motionlessly into the void with her eyes open, feeling the life force in her body slowly draining away.
Father and mother, my daughter is sorry for you. My daughter regrets that she should not have listened to you and that she has fallen to this point.
Dad, Mom, my daughter wants to go home...
But it seems that my daughter is really going to die.
She had been trying to escape for the past few days, but there was no way she could escape the layers of protection, so of course, she was captured.
Maybe the madam was angry because she ran away too much. A few days ago, someone sent some scraps of food. This time, no one brought food for three days, and there was almost no water on it.
She could even smell the rancid smell from the wounds she had been whipped before.
She didn't know what she was thinking of, but astonishing hatred burst out of her eyes, and the deep unwillingness tore at her heart, directly overshadowing the pain in her body.
Li Jun! That ungrateful man!
It was in vain that she trusted and admired him so much, that he treated her like this!
But I also blame her, blame her for being too stupid, blame her for trusting others, and eloping with others so easily regardless of her parents' obstruction!
No, she can't die!
Her parents are still waiting for her at home, and she doesn’t want to die yet!
Who can save her?
Who can save her! She is willing to work like a cow or a horse for the other person and give everything she has to repay the other person.
Perhaps her prayers had an effect. In a daze, she heard the door of the woodshed being pushed open from the outside. There were also faint sounds of conversations and footsteps coming from near and far outside the door.
"Lin Yu'er."
Lin Yu'er's dull eyes slowly turned to look at the door. Chi Xia stood there with the light behind her, the light and shadow blurring her figure. She seemed to see the god lowering his eyes to her and uttering a loving whisper.
She wanted to raise her hands and hope that the gods would save her, but she didn't have any strength. She could only weakly open her pale lips and murmured silently, "Help me." Lord God.
Chi Xia looked at the shabby clothes on her body and the shocking scars inside. He sighed secretly, took off his coat and covered her body, then put her in his arms and lifted the princess up to her feet.
He was so light that it was almost effortless for her to pick him up.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'll take you out."
Lin Yuer only felt a warmth on her body, and then she was picked up unsteadily. The person holding her was obviously very thin, but it made her feel very safe.
She just stared at Chi Xia for a moment, absorbing the warmth and faint scent of soap on her body, and slowly closed her eyes, but the thin and pale hands hidden under her outer shirt were tightly holding on to her clothes. Jiao, as if she was afraid that Chi Xia would suddenly disappear and throw her back to the devil's cave.
Chi Xia carried the person through the layers of gauze curtains, and was finally stopped by the madam who suddenly appeared at a corner.
"Hey, young master, this girl is from our Qingfeng Building, so you just take her away... It's not good, right?" The madam stood in front of her with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, and the pink on her face followed the madam's movements. Falling down.
Chi Xia felt that the body of the person in her arms was shaking when the Madam made a sound. She was obviously very afraid of the Madam. She pursed her lips and carefully buried Lin Yu'er's face in her arms, trying not to expose her face.
Even if Dayong's folk customs were more open, it would still be disgraceful for a woman to be sold into a brothel. The eyes and spit of the world could kill a person.
"How much money did I redeem?" Chi Xia gently opened his eyelids and spoke in a loose, clear voice.
The madam compared the numbers.
She twitched her lips and tilted her head in Qiao Yi's direction, "Brother, pay."
Qiao Yi pulled off the purse hanging from his waist and threw it to the madam. After receiving the deed of prostitution from the madam, he quickly followed Chi Xia and left.
The madam counted the gold ingots in her purse and wrinkles appeared on her face as she smiled. She didn't expect that a person who was about to die could make so much money.
It’s so easy to make money from being taken advantage of.
After leaving Qingfeng Tower, Qiao Yi could finally let go of her worries, and now he had the leisure to follow her and ask questions.
"Xia Xia, who is this girl? I want you to come all the way here."
Chi Xia lowered her eyes and glanced at the person in her arms, and said vaguely: "A stranger with a destiny."
Qiao Yi knew clearly what Chi Xia didn't want to reveal, so he shut up very considerately.
"Madam, did you have fun at the brothel?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Chi Xia. Her body stiffened and she felt guilty for some reason.
