As he spoke, two people rushed forward. One grabbed Yuan Mu's arm and tried to straighten her fingers, while the other swung an ax to chop her.
Mother Yuan was frightened and begged for mercy, "Master, please don't chop me. Please don't chop me. My Yuan Niang can pick up the guests tonight. I can pick up the guests tonight. It doesn't matter if there are several men together!"
The scene turned again and returned to the simple and dim courtyard before.
The door to the main room suddenly opened, and four men walked out of it.
Some were fastening their front buttons, and some were lowering their heads to adjust their belts.
They smiled obscenely and spoke dirty words, making fun of their respective performances in the room just now, and criticizing the style of the women in the room.
Mother Yuan, on the other hand, guided them the way with a smile on her face, and kept talking about how precious her girl was, which was rare for ordinary people to see.
One of the patrons chuckled and threw two pieces of silver to her.
After diligently sending the benefactors out of the small courtyard, Mother Yuan pinched the broken silver and bit it with satisfaction. Her mouth was filled with the pure taste of silver.
Mother Yuan grinned and hurriedly kicked it into her arms and put it away.
He looked up again and saw another face. He brought a large basin of hot water from the kitchen and walked quickly back to the house, "Oh, I'm so careful, I'm sorry for you."
Lying on the big bed in the room was a woman with messy hair.
Under the almost crumpled quilt, there was a large area of bruised skin.
Mother Yuan blinked her eyes, squeezed out some tears, and stepped forward to help wipe them away, "I'm so careful, Mom knows you have suffered. When I was young, Mom endured all kinds of hardships to support you. We women, if we want to live in peace, It’s hard to have food to eat.”
The woman on the bed was motionless, not even the slightest bit angry.
While Mother Yuan was wiping her body and tidying up the bedding, she caught a glimpse of several shining silver ingots on the bedside.
Her cloudy old eyes immediately shined brightly, and she reached for her hand and was about to stuff it into her arms.
The woman who didn't want to be on the bed immediately rushed forward and took the silver ingot back. "You have gambled so much money, and now you are gambling with my life. Why don't you die?!"
The woman who was too weak to move just now suddenly straightened up and stared at the old woman with malicious eyes.
The old woman was instantly annoyed and wanted to snatch it away with both hands, "If it weren't for you, a sluggish person, I would have married a rich businessman and become a wife! I have suffered so much for so many years for you, a prodigal, and now my wings are hard." Now, you’re going to have sex with me, aren’t you?”
The woman did not give in at all, "You have said so well, but for so many years, nothing has been done for yourself! If it weren't for you, would I never be able to have children? I will never be able to marry in this life. With someone like you Mom, it’s better not to have anything!”
In the fierce dispute, the two people fought angrily.
Until Yuan Niang was frightened, she picked up the sharp knife in the sewing basket and stabbed the old woman in the chest.
It wasn't until the hot blood splashed all over Yuan Niang's face that Yuan Niang woke up and realized what had happened.
She looked blankly at the scissors in her hand, and then at the old woman with a grim look on the ground.
His hands trembled and the scissors fell to the ground.
After being stunned for a while, she got up hastily, put on her clothes haphazardly, and washed her face with water in the basin.
It wasn't until she confirmed again that the old woman on the ground had completely died that Yuan Niang made a quick decision in great panic. She hurried to the kitchen, washed her body thoroughly with the hot water left in the big pot, redressed and dressed neatly, and The money that had been secretly buried for many years was dug out from Houfang Mountain and packed into a bag. After locking the courtyard door tightly, he plunged into the night and never looked back.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the scribe in charge of issuing road guides in the small town was also her benefactor.
She waited in the corner until dawn and then stopped the little scribe on his way to work.
With her clever rhetoric, it didn't take much effort to get a fake name guide.
Although she got out of the small town successfully, Yuanniang still walked in a very awkward way.
Even though Mother Yuan had not bound her feet, her delicate feet, which had never left the house all year round, still couldn't help but run all the way.
Along the way, she hid her appearance and pretended to be a grey-faced old woman. She did not dare to stay in an inn, but only in the cheapest shops.
The food and use were of terrible quality.
It wasn't until she reached Yuanlai Inn that Yuanniang thought it was far enough away from her hometown and safe enough.
She continued to live in the inn as an old woman, and while inquiring about the town, she was looking for any news about store transfers, and used her own capital to do some small business here.
But he didn't expect that he would actually stay in a black shop.
The shop owner at that time was not Tie Jun. Tie Jun was the stepson of the black shop owner.
Because he was born with a stutter and developed slowly, he was very discriminated against.
He did all the hard, tiring and dirty work on weekdays, and his stepfather and stepbrothers would beat and scold him if they were not satisfied.
Yuanniang, who was staying at the hotel, happened to see Tie Jun being bullied by his stepbrothers and the wounds on his hands were festering, so she kindly took out some medicine and told him tips to change his stutter.
Unexpectedly, Tie Jun actually stopped stuttering in front of her.
But once again when Yuan Niang inquired about the store, the owner of the black shop saw the money hidden in her body.
That night, the owner of the black shop, with his two sons, planned to take advantage of the gap between the two ordinary guests who checked in that night to leave the shop, and attack Yuan Niang.
After all, she had seen all kinds of ugly men, and Yuanniang was extremely vigilant.
