Zhuo Yiwen's home soon arrived, it was a small courtyard, and inside the red-painted gate, there were only two bungalows.

"Ximen Shaoxia, please come and sit in the room and let Yiwen serve tea to Shaoxia to express his gratitude, okay?"

Ximen Hitomi was a little hesitant, he had never entered a woman's boudoir embroidery room before, but Zhuo Yiwen didn't give him a chance to refuse, and before he could answer, he was pulled in directly by Zhuo Yiwen's hand.

Walking into the room, Zhuo Yiwen finally let go of Ximen Tong's hand and said, "Ximen Shaoxia will sit on the chair for a while, and Yiwen will go to make tea for Shaoxia." ”

With that, she went into the back room.

Ximen Hitomi sat down on the chair and looked up at the room.

The furnishings in the room are simple, with only a round table and a few chairs. There is also a dresser by the window, with a bronze mirror on it, and a few small boxes are scattered next to it, which should contain the rouge gouache and the like commonly used by the daughter's family.

The walls are empty and devoid of any ornaments, making the whole room look plain.

Although it is simple, the room is very tidy, the tables, chairs and the floor are spotless, and it is very fragrant. Ximen Hitomi is from a large family, and he has also studied various incense, but he can't smell what kind of spice the fragrance in this room comes from, so he can only guess that it is probably made of a mixture of several floral fragrances.

Zhuo Yiwen quickly walked out of the room, not only brought a cup of tea, but also changed clothes.

She was wearing a lilac light gauze skirt, the fabric was very light and thin, which not only made her slender figure exquisite, but also through the clothes, the underwear belly pocket worn inside was also faintly visible.

She walked up to Ximen Hitomi, handed the teacup to him, and said, "Young man, please use tea." ”

Ximen Hitomi's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head to take the teacup, not even daring to look up at her.

Zhuo Yiwen stared at Ximen Tong without a moment's notice, and after a while, he suddenly said, "You seem to be a little afraid of me." ”

Ximen Hitomi smiled slightly and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I haven't been afraid of anyone. ”

He raised his head, his eyes met Zhuo Yiwen, the shyness on his body was swept away, and he turned back to the arrogant and uninhibited young man of the past. He has indeed never been afraid of anyone, let alone Zhuo Yiwen, a delicate beauty.

Zhuo Yiwen's spring-like eyes still looked at Ximen Hitomi, like a playful child who had discovered a fun toy, curious and a little eager.

"You are not afraid of me. She whispered, "But I think you're a little special, unlike any other man." ”

Ximen Hitomi said: "Actually, I also think that Miss Zhuo is also very special, different from other women. ”

Zhuo Yiwen said, "Oh, what's different about me?"

Ximen Tong said: "If I am not mistaken, when I was in the restaurant, Miss Zhuo didn't seem to be too afraid of those strong people. ”

Zhuo Yiwen said: "You weishenme said so, they are so fierce, how can I not be afraid?"

Ximen Hitomi said: "If a person is afraid, it is not only manifested in his expression, but also in his heartbeat, although Miss Zhuo looks scared on the outside, but the pulse is stable as usual, so I can conclude that you are not really afraid." ”

Zhuo Yiwen was stunned for a long time, sighed, and said, "You're right, I'm really not afraid of them. ”

Ximen Hitomi blinked and asked, "They are so fierce, aren't you afraid?"

Zhuo Yiwen said: "I'm not afraid of them because I know they won't kill me." They will humiliate me, bully me, force me to do what I don't want to do, but they won't kill me, those men are like that, and what am I afraid of. ”

Ximen Tong said: "Listen to the meaning of the girl's words, could it be that you still know many such strongmen?"

Zhuo Yiwen smiled and said: "Yiwen is a playmaker, a lowly business of the ninth rate, in addition to singing on stage on weekdays, he has to face those rich and powerful people, drink and eat with them, and socialize a lot, like the strong man of 'Jinzhou Liuyi', I don't know how many I have seen, and how I don't know their habits." ”

She bit her lip and said, "If Ximen Shaoxia thinks that Yiwen is a girl who is clear and jade, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Ximen Hitomi was silent, not knowing what to say.

Zhuo Yiwen said: "Yiwen is a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, but she has a little posture and can sing a few words of drama, she is a plaything in the palm of the hands of dignitaries and powerful bullies, even if she is unwilling, she can only accept her fate, and young heroes like Ximen Shaoxia don't know the suffering." For example, that day, General Wu asked me to accompany Hua Gongzi to 'Happy Island' to gamble money, Yi Wen could only accompany him, and even if Hua Gongzi wanted to treat me well, I had to obey. ”

Ximen Hitomi's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "My master is completely different from those powerful bullies, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhuo Yiwen said: "Hua Gongzi is Shaoxia's master, naturally it is different, Yiwen lost his words for a while, and he never offended the teacher, please forgive Shaoxia!"

Ximen Tong pondered for a while, and said: "Since Miss Yiwen is unwilling to do these entertainments, Weishenme doesn't want to make another living, or find a good family to marry, why do you have to reluctantly do it and wronged yourself." ”

Zhuo Yiwen said: "If I can choose, of course I will be as Shaoxia said, no longer do this lowly business, even if I am poor, I am willing, but unfortunately Yiwen is a hard-working person, fate is in the hands of others, and I can't get out if I want to." ”

Ximen Tong's expression moved, and he said, "What did Miss Zhuo say about this?"

Zhuo Yiwen sighed and said: "Yiwen was born in a poor family, and she sold herself to 'Licui Garden' since she was a child, and now the deed of sale is still in the hands of the owner of the theater, how can she go." ”

Ximen Tong said: "It's not difficult, just spend some silver to redeem the contract." ”

Zhuo Yiwen said: "Although I only have hundreds of taels of silver on the deed of sale, the owner of the theater has asked me to teach me to learn opera and practice over the years, and the cost is also a lot, and now Yiwen is a popular flower in the 'Pear Garden', so how can the boss let me redeem myself and leave?"

Ximen Tong said: "Even so, it's just to spend more silver, Miss Yiwen and tell me, how much the boss will offer, there are just more than 10,000 taels of silver on the lower body, and it must be enough to give it to the girl to redeem herself." ”

More than 10,000 taels of silver is a great fortune, more than the entire property of most ordinary people. But Ximen Tong was born in a wealthy family in Yueyang City, and the money was never put in his heart, and he was not reluctant to give it to Zhuo Yiwen, and he didn't even care that the silver was the income from the sale of weapons by the "Evil Dog Gate" and the "Monkey Gang", not his own property.

Zhuo Yiwen stared at the handsome young man in front of him, there was something strange in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Let's stop talking about these unpleasant things, okay?"

Ximen Hitomi shook his head and said, "Weishenme doesn't say it, or is the girl still unwilling to leave the 'Pear Garden'?"

Zhuo Yiwen took a step forward, walked in front of Ximen Hitomi, and said softly: "Even if I don't want to leave, let's not talk about this, okay?"

Ximen Hitomi shook his head again and said, "I don't believe it, if you don't mean it, there must be a secret in it." ”

Zhuo Yiwen said: "Shaoxia's kindness, Yiwen understands it." It's just that I am not related to Shaoxia, Yi Wen must not ask you for so many silver taels, not to mention the redemption of your body, I am afraid that no matter how much silver you have, it will be difficult to do it. ”

Ximen Tong said: "Then weishenme again?"

Zhuo Yiwen said: "Shaoxia doesn't know, the boss of this 'Licui Garden' is not an ordinary businessman, this theater is opened by a Jianghu sect, that sect is called 'Hong Shengtang', which is quite shili in Changsha City, and it is said that it is also an alliance with the largest gang in the city, the 'Dongting Gang'. The owner of the theater is the Lei gang leader of 'Hong Shengtang', and a few days ago, he had already mentioned to me that he wanted to take me as a concubine, so how could he allow me to redeem myself and leave. ”

Ximen Hitomi lowered his head and groaned, speechless for a long time.

If it was just a matter of silver taels, he wouldn't care at all, but when it came to the Jianghu sect, it was not so simple.

When the people of the "Evil Dog Sect" first arrived in Changsha Mansion, Hua Bushi warned his disciples that they must be cautious and cautious in their actions here, and do not easily turn against the local gangs. Just because there are many gangs in Changsha City, the relationship between the various sects is complicated, offending a sect, it is likely to attract several shili joint revenge, "evil dog door" is an outsider, and the foothold is not stable, of course, it is not appropriate to immediately conflict with the local rivers and lakes shili.

After a long time, Ximen Hitomi said: "Since it is related to 'Hong Shengtang' and 'Dongting Gang', I will go back to discuss with the master and ask him to come forward, I expect that the Lei Gang Master will definitely sell the 'Evil Dog Gate' a face, so that Miss Zhuo can redeem herself." ”

He suddenly noticed that a drop of water fell on the back of his hand, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhuo Yiwen's eyes were already red, and tears kept pouring out, sliding down his cheeks and dripping down.

Ximen Hitomi was suddenly at a loss for what to do, and panicked, he had grown so big, and there had never been a woman crying like this in front of him.

He said, "Miss Yiwen, why are you doing this?"

Zhuo Yiwen sobbed: "No, weishenme...... I'm just happy...... Shaoxia did this to me...... Even if Yi Wen dies now...... Also met ......"

She couldn't stop crying, she couldn't talk anymore.

Ximen Hitomi stretched out his arm, hugged her gently, and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe the tears on her face, but Zhuo Yiwen's tears kept flowing out, staining his clothes everywhere, and a large piece of wetness.

Before meeting Zhuo Yiwen in the "Da Ronghe" restaurant, Ximen Tong always thought that she was a high-flying fairy, a big star sought after by tens of thousands of people, and a flawless beauty, but now, he knew that this woman crying in his arms was actually just a weak woman with a poor background, her pain and helplessness were more than others, and her life was no happier than those mediocre-looking village women on the street.

He began to feel distressed for no reason.
